The Birth of the Soviet Union and the Death of the Russian Revolution
By Jonathan Davis
One hundred years ago, at the end of December 1922, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was born. Vladimir Lenin, the creator and first leader of the Soviet Union, had denounced Tsarist Russia for holding Russians and non-Russians in a “prison of nations.” His new Soviet Union would unite the exploited masses of the old Tsarist lands in a country that was “national in form, socialist in content.” The Russification of the Tsarist era was over, as was the Russian chauvinism that Lenin despised.
However, as was so often the case in Soviet history, the reality of this new way of life didn't live up to the promises made by the Party bosses in Moscow.

CARBON: The justification is unarguable. Large personal fortunes feed carbon consumption and make a mockery of programs to curb it. As well, the surplus wealth of the superrich is probably the lone source of capital that can finance the worldwide uptake of greener energy and also pay for adaptation where it’s most critical.
At the nexus of consumption and wealth sits luxury carbon. Which is why the Schiphol action was so strategic.
Consider that the world’s richest 10 percent account for 50 percent of fossil fuel burning and carbon emissions.

GAA: Page 15- 1982-09-04 Irish People
(Continued from pg. 16) GAA FACES MONEY CRISIS Although the Gaelic Players' Association has yet to discuss the attendance problem, association PRO, Jimmy Keaveney, says he blames live TV coverage, the recession and Kerry dominance. The re-introduction of the hand-pass outfield was needed and a good team to challenge Kerry would be an added incentive. Many players also wanted to see the open draw introduced, even for an experimental two- year period, and this would provide a tremendous boost for the game, he said. Roscommon footballer Dermot Earley holds a similar enthusiasm for the draw system. He doesn't accept the Kerry domination excuse and says that newspaper previews of games can have a great influence on the number of spectators who turn up. There is also a drift away to other sports like golf, he said, while television coverage was keeping many people at home. He also wants to see the scrapping of some competitions. "There are too many challenge trophies and tournament games going on which are not helping major competitions," he remarked. "We should have three major competitions and cut out all the rest. Let's have a national league on the basis of four divisions, an All- Ireland championship as at present and an open draw as well." There was also a need for the GAA to improve its organisation >of major fixtures but, in addition to the traditional trappings of final day like the Artane Boys Band and the marching out of the teams, something extra was needed. "Maybe a folk group from the rival counties to get the crowds going before a game (Continued from pg. 16) might be the answer, or something on the lines of cheerleaders could be a help," he added. One of the organisation's outspoken officials, Tom Woulfe, said it was too simplistic (to blame the recession for all the ills. The public were more sophisticated now and had more options in the way of entertainment. The GAA had "fallen down" in its provision of proper facilities at grounds, especially for family groups and the strong emergence of Kerry was reflected in the overall attendance figures. "I have been concerned with falling attendances for some time but we will never again see the halcyon days where, over 60,000 people would attend a provincial final," he predicted. Mr. Woulfe, who is president of the Civil Service Football Club in Dublin, also hit out at the GAA's "poor" organisational abilities and spoke of the number of matches at club level that do not take place and the lack of punctuality at games. "Our organisation is not as good as it should be at grass roots level and it is from there that we get our sustenance." He also remarked that as more and more schools were being run by women teachers, sporting activities were not to the fore. Whatever the reasons why, the crowds are staying away, the GAA is sure to take another look at its budget which was drawn up earlier this year. If there are to be cutbacks it might be the clubs throughout the country, that depend on funds from headquarters for development, that will be burdened in the cost-cutting exercise.

HISTORY: Freeman's Journal (Sydney, NSW : 1850 - 1932) Thu 28 Aug 1919 Page 16
Personal Notes; A distinguished Irishman, in the person of Lord Dunraven, is probably the only man who was at Versailles both when, the German Empire was proclaimed in 1871 and at the signature of the Peace Treaty. During the Franco-Prussian war. Lord Dunraven ; was one of the 'Daily Telegraph's' correspondents with the German army, and lived at Versailles during the, siege of Paris. Lord Dunraven, in an interview, gave some interesting reminiscences of the scene forty-eight
years ago. He. said:— 'The ceremony, I think, took place in the morning, but of that I am not sure. It was a very gorgeous affair, full of colour and with bands playing. The ceremony took place, not in the centre of the room, as to-day, but at the end where the press were seated. There was a raised dais, and behind it a kind of altar, with the now familiar black Prussian Cross, the same sort of cross
as the Germans painted on their aero planes during the war. Bismarck was there, standing on one side, wearing the uniform of a general, to which rank he had been promoted for the occasion ; and in front of the Kaiser were Von Moltke and the minor German sovereigns and generals. The
chief difference between that affair and to-day's is, of course, the comparative drabness of the scene now, with its black coats and the absence of bright uniforms and decorations In other re- inspects history repeats itself in a facetious way. The German General Staff occupied the Hotel des Reserggvoirs, or as much of it as was built then, exactly the same portion, I believe, as the Germans are occupying till now. I myself shared the house with Sir William Russell, of the 'Times,'
and Lord Odo Russell, who was a kind of British diplomatic representative. Bismarck more than once came to the house for the purpose of seeing the latter, striding in on one occasion, I remember, while we were having an impromptu dance, much to his amazement. The old King himself lived in
the palace. I wonder how many of the people who heard the cheering, and the loud voice of Bismarck proclaiming the Emperor, are alive to-day in Germany. Not many, I expect. I certainly I believe I am probably the only non-German who can claim to have been at Versailles on both occasions.

The Protestant Standard (Sydney, NSW : 1869 - 1895)-Sat 10 Aug 1889-Page 7
THE WOES OF IRELAND
The “native grace and dignity of the true patriots and Christian heroes," which is thus extolled in the pages of the Carlow College Magazine, was shown in the inhuman massacre of all the Protestants in the town of Wexford on the 20th June, 1798, — a massacre that has made the name of Wexford infamous above all other places of which the rebels obtained possession. Gordon, in his history of the Rebellion, describes the scene as follows " The victims were conducted in successive parcels of from ten to twenty, with horrible solemnity, to the place of execution, where they were variously put to death, one after another; but mostly, each by four men at once, who standing two before and two behind the victim, thrust their pikes into the body, and raising it from the ground, held it
Suspended, writhing with pain, while any signs of life appeared. Some were slaughtered at the gaol, some at the market house; but the great butchery was on the bridge."
This Magazine, in its issue for April, 1879, p. 676, again reverts to the last rebellion in 1798. It proceeds to extol the rebels, and even to encourage rebellion. It states : —" Nor shall we hesitate to exalt as heroes and Christian patriots the men of ’98 who held their lives cheap if only they could free their country from the yoke of heresy and usurpation."
The instruction given in the R. C. Colleges, at the present time, is equally treasonable and seditious, if we may judge from the speech delivered in January last, at the meeting of the County Kerry Convention of the National League, by the Rev. Mr. Harrington, "the head of the R. C. Diocesan School at Listowel, in which young men are trained for the priesthood." This gentleman said, " There
had been revolutions ; they had heard talk of rifles and of bullets ; and he would tell them that there are not many young priests in Kerry who would not be willing to lead the van in the battle-field. There was a strong feeling that a man could not be at all religious unless he was loyal. but they knew better."

FESTIVAL of Lights: Hanukkah is known as the Festival of Lights.
The lighting of a menorah is perhaps the most well-known tradition. A menorah is a candelabra with nine candles: four candles on each side and one in the center to light all the others. The center candle, known as the shamash, sits higher than the other candles. One candle is lit each day of Hanukkah.
Hanukkah lasts for eight nights to commemorate how long a holy light burned during the Maccabean revolt against the Syrian-Greek army when the Maccabees reclaimed the Temple in Jerusalem. Although there was only enough oil to keep the menorah on the altar burning for one night, the menorah miraculously burned for eight days.
Other traditions include singing special songs, such as Ma'oz Tzur, reciting the Hallel prayer, eating dairy and foods fried in oil, such as latkes and sufganiyot, playing the dreidel game, and giving chocolate coins known as gelt.

For the last year or so, I have been living in Addis Ababa with the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Rosary and have felt very welcome despite the limited rooms for visitors. I am more like a community member than a guest, taking turns to cook, shop, clean, garden and prepare the liturgy. It is good to know there are lots of similarities in our prayers -----------------
And now the hope of returning to Dawhan has been dashed due to the recent news that our convent and school have been completely looted by the foreign soldiers. They took whatever they could and destroyed what they couldn’t take away.

While many Dubliners have not heard of Constable Patrick Sheahan before, the vast majority will be familiar with the monument in his honour which until recently stood at the junction of Hawkins Street and Burgh Quay, at least to walk past. It has been removed in recent times as construction is underway on the Luas bridge which will span the Liffey. Constable Sheahan was a member of the Dublin Metropolitan Police force, hailing from County Limerick. He lost in life in tragic circumstances in May 1905 when he was overcome by deadly gas in the sewers of Dublin as he attempted to rescue unconscious workmen. The events of that tragic day are well-documented in an article by Tom Donovan for the Old Limerick Journal,
On Saturday May 6th 1905, a workman named John Fleming opened a manhole- cover at the corner of Hawkins Street and Burgh Quay at around 3 p.m. He descended a ladder into the 24foot sewer to investigate a broken pipe and he was immediately overcome by the deadly gas, as were two of his colleagues who rushed to assist him. Christopher Nolan, a who witnessed the incident, ran for help. He found Constable Sheahan, of College Street Station, standing at O’Connell Bridge. Tragically for him, he was on duty to relieve a friend who wanted to go to the theatre.
Sheahan’s heroics touched the heart of native Dubliners, as this young man of only 29 had given everything in an attempt to save others. In 1906 a monument to Sheahan was erected, paid for my public subscription, and placed at the site of the tragedy. Interestingly, it contains both Irish and English language inscriptions, and notes that: “This memorial was erected in memory of Patrick Sheahan,a constable in the Dublin Metropolitan Police Force who lost his life on the 6th day of May 1905.”
Sheahan was a well-known and much liked character in Dublin, and stories of his bravery had existed in the city long before his death. One of my favourite stories about Sheahan related to him ‘single-handily’ wrestling an escaped bull on Grafton Street. Wondering how much fact and how much folklore was involved in the tale, we went looking for the newspaper reports of the day.
The Irish Times of 24 March 1904 details a ‘Exciting Incident In Dublin’ during which a number of police officers wrestled an escaped bull on Grafton Street. The paper reported that:
A large roam bullock which escaped from its keeper, between six and seven o’clock last evening, while being driven along Harcourt Street, created quite a scare in the locality, and before it was finally captured and slaughtered in the vicinity of Grafton Street, after a prolonged struggle with several policemen, it injured two persons, who were subsequently removed to hospital.
The animal had made a dash from Harcourt Street station in the direction of Wexford Street, knocking down a young girl by the name of Kathleen Regan in the process. Running madly through the city, it made its way to Whitefriar Street where the five year old Christopher John Walsh was struck. Its appearance on Grafton Street caused pandemonium, and it was here that men of the Dublin Metropolitan Police confronted the animal. Sheahan was not alone, as folklore has had it, but in the company of another DMP man, Constable Kerby. A local stableman named Thomas Arbuthnot joined the two police officers, as they followed the bull into Anne’s Lane. An extraordinary twenty-minute tangle with the animal would result in the two DMP men using a rope to essentially ‘lasso’ the animal, and when they succeeded in wrestling it to submission with the assistance of bemused Dubliners, they called on Martin Tierney. Tierney was a butcher on Capel Street. The bull, marked JSC on the left hip, found itself next in an Abattoir.
Just over a year after this incredible incident, Sheahan himself was dead. On an interesting aside, Shehan is a relation of John Sheahan, a fine traditional musician who is now the longest-serving member of The Dubliners folk band!

Sunday Firesides: Hair of the Dog
Brett & Kate McKay • December 11, 2022
“Hair of the dog” refers to solving a problem using the same element that caused it. The expression derives from the old idea that a bite from a rabid dog could be treated by stuffing the wound with fur from the dog that bit you.
The same concept, which the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates termed “like cures like,” can be found across cultures. In Slavic languages, there’s an expression that translates to “a wedge dislodges a wedge.” Italians, Spaniards, and Turks say, “A nail removes a nail.”
Hair of the dog, in all its international iterations, is most popularly used to refer to alleviating the aftereffects of drinking alcohol, by drinking more alcohol. This “cure” is, of course, of dubious value. While it does temporarily make the drinker feel better, it only delays the return of his hangover.
There is, however, an area where the hair of the dog approach produces effective and lasting results: stress.
Nothing torpedoes the chronic stress built up from work crises, interpersonal drama, and the daily grind of setbacks and inconveniences as well as exercise. And exercise is nothing more than the intentional stressing of the body.
Running works wonders for anxiety, despite the fact that — really, because of the fact that — it induces a response similar to a panic attack.
Lifting weights breaks down muscle. Lifting weights can save you from a breakdown.
Sitting in a sauna burdens the body with heat. Sitting in a sauna lightens the load of worry.
When your body is inflamed by stress, the remedy, paradoxically enough, is to inflame it further with more of the same.
When the slings and arrows of the world threaten to consume, the cure is the hair of the dog that bit you: fighting fire, with fire.
FUSION: Physics World names National Ignition Facility fuel gain top 10 breakthrough of the year
Ignition — the process of releasing fusion energy equal to or greater than the amount of energy used to confine the fuel — has long been considered the "holy grail" of inertial confinement fusion science. Before achieving ignition, a key step along the path is to have "fuel gains" greater than unity, where the energy generated through fusion reactions exceeds the amount of energy deposited into the fusion fuel and alpha-particle self-heating of the fusing region.

POPE: By Hannah Brockhaus
Vatican, 14 December, 2022 / 8:13 pm (ACI Africa).
Pope Francis is inviting everyone to have “a more humble Christmas” this year.
At the end of his weekly general audience Dec. 14, the pope asked people to consider spending less on gifts and parties and in order to help the people of Ukraine.
“It is good to celebrate Christmas, to have parties — but let’s lower the level of Christmas spending,” he encouraged. “Let’s send what we save to the Ukrainian people, who are in need, suffering so much; they go hungry, they feel the cold, and so many die because there are no doctors, nurses at hand."

IFA and Bord Gáis Energy, building on their long-standing relationship, have launched a new partnership which will offer roof top solar solutions to Irish farmers.

The launch follows a pilot project undertaken by IFA and Bord Gáis Energy to establish the commercial feasibility of the installation of roof top solar technology on Irish farms. The pilot worked closely with farmers from different sectors, sizes and geographies and clearly and objectively established the benefits of solar for all farmers involved. The results of the pilot demonstrate the support that IFA and Bord Gáis Energy can provide to help maximise the benefits of rooftop solar for farmers. It also helped identify the barriers to entry and, by working together, how to overcome them. https://www.ifa.ie/solar/

LOCAL BORN Moriarty, John Stephen
Contributed by Maume, Patrick
Moriarty, John Stephen (1938–2007), philosopher and shaman, was born 2 February 1938 at Moyvane, near Listowel, Co. Kerry, fourth of six children (two sons and four daughters) of James Moriarty, smallholder and native speaker of Irish (with eleven cows and 'thirty-two acres of bad, rushy land'), and his wife Mary (née O'Brien). In his autobiography Nostos (2001), Moriarty recalls a society dominated by stories and hardships, faith and malign piseogs, commenting that while they had metal implements (including his Raleigh bicycle) they were really 'neolithic' in mentality. His parents had a stormy relationship, leading to occasional separations; his father spent much of the second world war working in England.
Moriarty was educated locally and at St Michael's College, Listowel. At first he was a weak student and looked forward eagerly to leaving at the minimum age of 14, but shortly before that age he suddenly developed the knack of accurately constructing Greek and Latin sentences, and decided 'now that I've got the hang of it I'd like to carry on with it'. His later writings show the lasting influence of catholic litanies, and of the prayers and ceremonies associated with the rite of the Latin Tridentine mass.
The young Moriarty assumed that the traditional classical and Christian curriculum of St Michael's (which he later regarded as an 'imperial imposition') was compatible with and underpinned the small-farm way of life into which he expected to spend his own life. At the age of seventeen, however, he experienced a devastating crisis of faith after reading Charles Darwin's Origin of species, which brought home to him that the earth was vastly older than the Biblical chronology indicated, and that the hand with which he turned the page was akin to the fin of a whale. This personal crisis was reinforced by adolescent sexual guilt, fear of mortality (related to increasing unease over the intimate small-farm experience of killing animals for food), and revulsion at the thought that any being, however malignant, would be eternally damned.
Apprenticeship
For the next three years Moriarty experienced cosmic despair, which he sought to appease through incessant reading and pursuit of ideas. His first glimpse of relief came through reading Herman Melville's novel Moby-Dick in which he recognised Captain Ahab's obsessive pursuit of the white whale as humanity's pursuit of an inhuman, unknowable God and the isolated survival of Ishmael as an image of metaphysical alienation. The novel remained his lifelong favourite; he later remarked that in comparison to Melville and to Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary were merely enjoyable gossip.

LESSON: In his general audience on Dec. 7, the pope said that in the face of rejection, when things do not go our way, it is good to remember that “only God knows what is truly good for us.”
Sometimes there can be a lesson from the Lord in a denial of what we want, the pope explained, adding: “This is not because he wants to deprive us of what we hold dear, but in order to live it with freedom, without attachment.”
“We can only love in freedom, which is why the Lord created us free, free even to say no to him,” Pope Francis said.

Do I dare to eat an old peach yogurt? Yes, yes I do.
By Yasmin Tayag
Cans of fruit salad at a grocery store

December 1, 2022
For refrigerators across America, the passing of Thanksgiving promises a major purge. The good stuff is the first to go: the mashed potatoes, the buttery remains of stuffing, breakfast-worthy cold pie. But what’s that in the distance, huddled gloomily behind the leftovers? There lie the marginalized relics of pre-Thanksgiving grocery runs. Heavy cream, a few days past its sell-by date. A desolate bag of spinach whose label says it went bad on Sunday. Bread so hard you wonder if it’s from last Thanksgiving.
The alimentarily unthinking, myself included, tend to move right past expiration dates. Last week, I considered the contents of a petite container in the bowels of my fridge that had transcended its best-by date by six weeks. Did I dare to eat a peach yogurt? I sure did, and it was great. In most households, old items don’t stand a chance. It makes sense for people to be wary of expired food, which can occasionally be vile and incite a frenzied dash to the toilet, but food scientists have been telling us for years—if not decades—that expiration dates are mostly useless when it comes to food safety.

================================
We’ve all likely encountered someone who’s acting angry or hysterical.
A customer flips his lid at you because he didn’t get his order exactly how he wanted it.
A co-worker goes berserk because someone failed to fill up the coffee pot.
A friend is freaking out because she lost her job.
These kinds of situations can feel fraught and catch us flat-footed.
Because the person is making you and others uncomfortable, may escalate their emotional outburst into something legitimately dangerous, or is someone you simply care about and want to help, you’d like to be able to calm them down.
But how do you do that?

2022 December 7 Knockanure
KNOCKANURE
PARISH: Annual Christmas Confessions St. Mary’s Church, Listowel Mon. 19th Dec. 8.00pm. There will be several Priests available to hear Confessions. Christmas Mass Schedule: Sat. 24th Dec.’22 Christmas Eve- Moyvane at 6.00pm, Knockanure 8.00pm, and Moyvane 10.00pm.
Sun. 25th Dec.’22 Christmas Day- Knockanure at 9.30am and Moyvane at 11.00am.
2nd Collection at Masses weekend, 3rd and 4th Dec. for Irish Church Commission/Agencies.
Parish Office will be closed Thurs. 8th Dec., a Church holiday of Obligation. Some notes from the Parish Pastoral Council Meeting on 23rd November 2022. Selection of various officers within the Parish Pastoral Council: Grace Leahy was elected as chair of the Parish Pastoral Council, Anne Fitzmaurice volunteered to be the secretary, Shane Hanrahan volunteered to be the Area Pastoral Council representative for Moyvane while Brenda Clancy volunteered for Knockanure.
Tara Mulvihill and Shane Hanrahan agreed to co-ordinate liturgy (including choir, readers, altar servers and general order of service). On discussion of the reduction of the number of Masses, good reasons were given for holding on to all three Masses. The reasons varied and it was not possible to prioritise. It will be the task of the Area Pastoral co-ordinator(s) to choose in accord with area (as against parish) needs. The hope is that the best schedule is found which will mean balancing the number of Masses available with the availability of priests in this area of North Kerry.
It was moreover noted that in future we may have to think about having prayer services (with Holy Communion) instead of Mass, not solely on weekdays but on Sundays.

LOW CARBON; With Christmas visitors and cooking a big meal, it is likely that your home will be a lot warmer than usual, so you could turn the heating down for the day.

TRANSITION Kerry: Like the rest of Ireland. Kerry, Tralee it’s other town’s villages and communities are dependent on sources outside of the country for most of our food, fuel, energy, a lot of our jobs, and most of our “stuff”. Transition Kerry believes we need to become a more self-reliant and sustainable community. The toughest challenges facing Kerry, our communities and humanity itself are Climate Change, Peak Oil, Food Security and Economic decline. Economic Decline and Climate Change is well documented. However Peak Oil, Food Security, Environmental & Social decline remains under the radar for most people.

ALCOHOL- HSE is calling for a new education campaign about drinking during pregnancy – after stark figures show one in ten babies are born with foetal alcohol disorders in Ireland every year.
According to new figures from the HSE, there are around 6,000 babies born with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) in Ireland every year.
As well as that, around 600 babies are born with the more severe Foetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS).
These figures seem even more grim when you realise that the Word Health Organisation estimates that Ireland has the third-highest rate of FASD in the world, at 47.5 per 1,000.

Cost of Living
They also lived a “greener life” where single use or disposable products did not exist. My grandmother or great grandmother would flip over in her grave if she saw me using a paper towel to wipe up a spill on the floor and then throw it out. Or if she saw me pay $5 for a 24 pack of bottled water. Most of what we buy now-a-days are single use products that our grandmothers wouldn’t even dream of using because they seem wasteful.
Growing up I remember my grandmother talking to me over and over again about not being wasteful; that went for money as well as household products.
To honor our mothers, grandmothers and all past generations of mothers, here is a list to remind us of how we all used to live. They’re ideas on how to get back to living the frugal lifestyle of generations past. Not only will you smile at the memories of Grandma that will surely pop up, but also at the less expensive ways to live.

OPEN AA MEETING - Saturday 10th December - The Tarbert Group of Alcoholics Anonymous opened its doors to the suffering alcoholic back in 2002. We are celebrating our 20th anniversary with an Open Meeting in the Tarbert Community Centre on Saturday 10th December at 8pm. Everybody Welcome. Open meetings seek to reach the suffering alcoholic through a third party and will very often be attended by a group of Doctors, Nurses, Social Workers, Teachers, Prison Officers, Gardai, Spiritual Advisors, Public Media etc. These people in their daily work are frequently in contact with the suffering alcoholic and by their very presence at our meeting have shown their concern and willingness to help from the earliest beginnings of AA when Henrietta Sieberling introduced Dr. Bob to Bill W. Many thousands of alcoholics who found sobriety in AA, were first put in contact with AA by a non-alcoholic third party, be it a family member or a concerned friend/employer etc. These good friends of AA knew AA existed, where it could be found and what help AA offered to the problem drinker.

HISTORY: It is forgotten but a section of the Catholic population survived and some thrived during the Penal Laws. The Callanans appear as apothecaries in Cork, Doctors, and are close to McCarthys, Nagles and O’Learys (of the ‘outlaw’ family Raleigh Macroom) and form a close network. It is from this background that JJ Callinan came. Later his friend Crofton Croker would comment that he spent years living with various friends who were Doctors, Schoolteachers and surprisingly Policemen. One such Doctor was Doctor Burke who practised in the Square in Bantry and was from A Caheragh Landowning family probably associated with the McCarthys according to the late Cork Historian John T Collins. It was in Bantry he wrote Gougán Barra.

COP26
For many countries, the last hours of the negotiation represent a real step backwards in the fight against rising temperatures.
While the loss and damage text represented a big win, the overall cover decision is being seen as a missed opportunity in the fight against climate change.
The man who ran the COP26 negotiations in Glasgow put it bluntly.
"Emissions peaking before 2025, as the science tells us is necessary. Not in this text," said Alok Sharma.
"Clear follow-through on the phase down of coal. Not in this text."
As well as all these limitations there was also a sharp U-turn on the language around fossil fuels.
The text now includes a reference to "low emission and renewable energy".
This is being seen as a significant loophole that could allow for the development of further gas resources, as gas produces less emissions than coal.

Robert Ahern's Obituary by the San Jose Mercury News.
Judge Robert Patrick Ahern
Resident of San Jose
September 19, 1938 - April 2, 2011
also known as Bobby, Bob, LTJG, Legal Eagle, Commander, Dad, Judge, and Papa Bob, lived his 72 years with gusto. He died in Good Samaritan Hospital after a fierce battle with cancer where he
acquired his last name: Braveheart.
Bob was proud to be a fourth generation San Franciscan. He attended St. Paul's Grammar School, Riordan High School, and The University of San Francisco where he played offensive guard. Bob enlisted in the Navy in 1960 and served 4 years active duty as a Naval Flight officer and Navigator/Tactical Coordinator. He remained in the Naval Reserves for 18 years.
He was a '67 graduate of UC Hastings College of Law and worked for the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office for ten years until he was elected to the Municipal Court. In 1982, he was elected to the Superior Court where he served until his retirement in 2002. After "retirement" Bob became a "Traveling Judge" working as far north as Mariposa and as far south as San Diego.
During his years with the Superior Court, Bob served as Asst. Presiding Judge and Presiding Judge. He was a member of the Olympic Club of San Francisco for 54 years, President of the Bellarmine Dads Club, and President of the Los Pescadores (83-85).
Bob approached life with enthusiasm and strength. His interest in genealogy led to discovering his Great grandfather's cottage in Lyreacrompane, Ireland.

They will be active in the gymnastics and ninja programs and I couldn’t be more proud to build a community to empower and positively encourage today’s generation of gymnasts and beyond. Words leave a lasting impact on the self esteem of a young child, which is why it’s beyond gold medals here at Dominique Dawes Gymnastics Academy. Every child that walks through our doors will know that they are valued. My amazing staff will understand that the most important kid is the one standing right in front of them.”

CHRISTMAS: Shop smarter, not single use
Got someone random in the secret Santa? Don't buy them disposable crap – landfill is a disappointing gift, even if it does come in under the £10 limit at your office. If an ethical gift like an Oxfam donation or a reusable coffee cup feels a little too on the nose, take the time to buy something you know they'll use. "Without trying to be too Scrooge-like, the biggest impact of Christmas is just he amount of stuff we buy," says Mike Childs, strategic project lead at Friends of the Earth. "If it's stuff they want, and displacing stuff they would buy anyway, it's kind of alright. If it's additional stuff that then ends up being thrown out or tucked away in a cupboard, then that's a big impact."

GRANDPARENTS: Emotional closeness between adult grandchildren and their grandparents protects against depression for both, according to a June 2016 study from Boston University. The study, which used data from a long-term survey of families spanning several generations between 1985 and 2004, suggests that when young adults and their elders enjoy strong relationships, both suffer fewer symptoms of depression.

HISTORY: The Kerry Archaeological and Historical Society was founded in 1967 by a group of visionaries who saw the need to raise awareness of the County’s past. Our Society is a voluntary, non-profit-making association. All proceeds from sales of subscriptions and publications are utilised exclusively in the day-to-day running of our activities.
In 1967, the aims of the Society were identified as “the collection, recording, study and preservation of the history and antiquities of Kerry, including the preservation of historical and antiquarian remains, the promotion of scientific excavation and the publication of a journal”.
During the intervening years, those aspirations have expanded to include the nurturing, fostering and promoting of interest in the wider culture and heritage of County Kerry.

BRAIN-Based Damage
Brain Scarring – Mark Waldman has done research on MRIs of children’s brains. A side by side comparison of the brains of chronic verbal abuse shows physical scarring similar to brains of children living in chronic physical abuse homes.
Corpus Callosum damage – Martin Teicher’s research has shown damage to Corpus Callosum in the brains of verbally abused children. This leads to memory issues, lapses in concentration and attention, and a reduction in creativity. Let me get this straight: we are pushing for more creative children but the bully coaching is counterproductive to that? Maybe us “have more fun” coaches have the puzzle solved.

CRIMES are committed every single day, including murder, theft, and assault. People break into homes and cause countless problems for others. And that’s what we think of when it comes to crimes—people.
But as we’re going to learn, humans aren’t the only culprits. Some of the same crimes for which people have been responsible have also been carried out by animals. Here are 10 of these cases.

ADVERTISING: We found 18 examples of false advertising scandals that have rocked big brands — some are still ongoing and not all companies have had to pay up, but each dealt with a fair amount of negative publicity.

The burning of fossil fuels caused 86% of all CO₂ emissions during the past ten years.
To bring down high fossil fuel prices, governments globally are resorting to the very subsidies they agreed to phase out. These subsidies cut fuel costs for consumers by fixing the price at petrol pumps, for example.
After a noticeable dip in 2020, fossil fuel subsidies expanded in 2021

OLD AGE: David Mills Nation- November 17, 2022
I’m sitting in a vet’s waiting room while my daughter is having her pet seen to. An old man stands at the counter getting instructions for his dog’s medicine. He has been there about 10 minutes. The dog, a golden mutt, lies at his feet. Wanting to ask about my daughter, since she has been in there a long time, I get in line behind him.
“I gotta get this right,” he says. “He’s my buddy.” He has to give the dog one medicine twice a day and another three times a day. He has trouble grasping this. This nurse repeats herself several times, always cheerfully, as if it’s the first time. I admire that. I am also impatient.
He finally gets it. The nurse beams. I beam. She holds up one medicine and says, “Now, remember, give this to him every eight hours.”

WEDDING: Announcement of the marriage at Ballymore Church, County Wicklow on July 4 1917 of Sir Arthur Vicars to Miss Gertrude Wright, sister of E. Wright – Tindall of Knoptonhall , Yorkshire, served to recall attention to a rather badly used man, who was side-tracked out of the office of the office of Ulster King - at – arms, at Dublin, following the sensational theft of the jewelled insignia of the grandmaster of the Order of St Patrick from Dublin Castle.

The Memorial is located in the garden of the Community Centre, beside St. Senan's Church on Toler Street.
LAOIS Sept; In tracing the Laois Sept surnames in Kerry through the centuries, their named presence was first recorded in the 1610 will of Patrick Crosbie. Transplanted Laois Septs were then active in Kerry in the Catholic Confederacy uprising of the 1640s, as quoted for example in Crosbie family papers; ‘the O’Dorans, O’Dowlings, O’Lawlors and O’Kellys swooped down and set fire to Lord Kerry’s new castle and St Brendan’s old Cathedral'. As there were no censuses or similar assembled records for the 1700s, one must rely on the work of family historians or genealogists. Taking one example, local Kerry historian Martin Moore has traced the Moores to Roger Moore of Moyvane in North Kerry who was a grandson of the O’Moore chieftain who signed the original transplantation agreement.

WAR I disabled; Over one million British men were disabled by disease or injury as a result of the First World War. Numerous schemes, charities and institutions were set up across the country to try to help these men upon their return to Britain – ‘Villages Centres Council for Curative Treatment and Training of Disabled Men’ (pictured above) was one such scheme. Like many others, one of the main aims of Enham was to enable these men to return to a trade, or learn a new one. Initially, six objectives were set out:

The City of God and the City of Man overlap in this world. And only God knows who finally belongs to which. We need to remember that personal conscience is always, and rightly, the final arbiter of our actions. But conscience is not some sort of free-floating opinion machine. It’s the result of formation by teachers, and experiences outside oneself.
Alexis de Tocqueville, the great French chronicler of the early United States, had a very favorable view of American democracy. But he also noted two of its key flaws. First, democracy isolates the individual in the name of protecting the individual. And second, in doing that, democracy actually weakens the individual and makes the citizen more vulnerable to coercion by majority opinion and popular consensus.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Pope Francis has continued to call on Russian and Ukrainian leaders to negotiate an end to the war, but the head of the Ukrainian Catholic Church told him Russia wants only the destruction of Ukraine.
Ukrainian Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of Kyiv-Halych met Pope Francis Nov. 7 at the Vatican, the first time the two have met in person since Russia started the war in late February, although they have spoken on the phone many times.
Archbishop Shevchuk gave the pope “a fragment of a Russian mine that destroyed the facade of the Ukrainian Catholic church building in the town of Irpin, near Kyiv, in March,” the archbishop’s office said. “It is a very symbolic gift, not only because Irpin was one of the first ‘martyr towns’ affected by the Russian aggression against Ukraine, but also because similar pieces of landmines are extracted from the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers, civilians and children, a visible sign of the destruction and death that war brings every day.”

Immigrants at Grosse Île Quarantine Station, 1832-1937
The Records
In the 19th century, an increasing stream of people was leaving Europe to rebuild their lives in North America. Around 1830, an average of 30,000 immigrants arrived annually in the City of Québec, the main port of entry to Canada. Approximately two-thirds of these newcomers were from Ireland. This unprecedented immigration on the St. Lawrence River took place at a time when major cholera and smallpox epidemics were sweeping through Europe. In order to help control the spread of the diseases, the quarantine station at Grosse Île, located in the St. Lawrence River downstream from the City of Québec, was established in 1832 and operated until its closure in 1937.
In 1974, the old quarantine station became a national historic site under the jurisdiction of Parks Canada. More information on Grosse Île and the Irish Memorial National Historic Site of Canada is available on the Parks Canada Web site.

She explains that to use the hanging toilets, especially those without a pipe, one has to position themselves properly, with their back turned towards the sewage so that their waste falls in the dirty water below and is swept away. This way, the toilets not only pose health risks to users, but also offer no privacy to the one using them.
Before Caritas Freetown intervened and started constructing modern toilets around the settlement, women would use what the residents referred to as ‘black buckets’ during the day, keep the bucket contents in their houses, and only empty them into the sewage at night, under the cover of darkness.

Prelazia de Miracema do Norte
RESIDENCIA DO BISPO
– Miracema do Norte – Est. de Goias - May 28th 1975
Dear Sister Catherine,
Many thanks for your latest letter. Sorry for the long delay in sending what should have been sent months ago. For the past few months, I have been out in the interior, quite a lot, helping out another priest in trying to form small little communities of committed Christians in some of the places where there are no priests. It was not lack of interest.
I hope the enclosed will give you sufficient info about Miracema and the type of work that you would be asked to do. Being a Religious myself I can assure you that I have nothing in mind that would in any way weaken Religious Life. Quite the contrary, a very definite campaign for vocations to the Religious Life is on in the Prelazia this year and the only sure one is the type of life we lead.
To use the phrase, you heard so often in Brazil: I am always “as ordens” (at your orders) for any further information that you may need. I may be going to the States earlier in June that I had intended and may meet you out there, but I shall certainly look you up in Ireland.
May the Spirit of God bless you all in your deliberations. He knows what is best for us all, once we remain open to His voice, we will accomplish what is best for God’s work. Many thanks for your interest. May God bless you, and till we meet in either Ireland or California.
Yours in Jesus Christ,
+ Jaime, CSsR

DOCUMENTRY: The War of Independence in North Kerry, launched recently.
Narrated by Joe Stack of RTE, the documentary tells the story of events that happened in North Kerry during the period referred to as 'The Decade of Centenaries' from 1912 to 1922, with particular emphasis on the War of Independence from January to July 1921.
It includes contributions from a number of local historians and focuses on the personal stories of family members who were directly involved.
GRAVES: Columbarium wall at Rath Cemetery in Tralee, recently installed. Each space costs €1,200.
TREES: The study team analyzed almost 80,000 satellite photo measurements of tree cover worldwide and combined them with enormous global databases about soil and climate conditions, evaluating one hectare at a time. The exercise generated a detailed map of how many trees the earth could naturally support—where forests grow now and where they could grow, outside of areas such as deserts and savannahs that support very few or no trees. The team then subtracted existing forests and also urban areas and land used for agriculture. That left 0.9 billion hectares that could be forested but have not been. If those spaces were filled with trees that already flourish nearby, the new growth could store 205 gigatons of carbon by the time the forests mature.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1973 THE IRISH PEOPLE PAGE 19 I NATIONAL HURLING LEAGUE Limerick Lucky To Beat Clare It's Limerick's Day At Gaelic Park On Sunday Limerick 3-9 Clare 0-14 Limerick All-Ireland Hurling champions made the short trip to Cusack Park, Ennis to take the locals in the opening game of the N.H.L. campaign and were lucky to return with two points after a tough, gruelling game that kept the referee John Maloney busy. Clare lost two players and Limerick one during the course of the game. It was only in the last few minutes that Limerick sealed the game with fast goals, goals that Durack would normally have saved but he had suffered an injury previously during a goal mouth melee. It is doubtful if Limerick would have taken the honors were it not for the fact that Clare, played with 13 men for the last 20 minutes of the second half. Before the game started John Hanly chairman of the Clare County Board presented Rory Kiely his Limerick counterpart with a plaque inscribed with the names of all the Limerick players to honor their All-Ireland victory. This fine gesture wasn't any guide to what was in store for the game itself. (See paper for more)
The Limerick men will be the hosts at Gaelic Park on Sunday. Sean Giltenane and James McCoy are Co-Chairmen of the day and have a very attractive schedule of games arranged. For openers we have Cork and Roscommon in Junior Football.

BOOK: After The Storm by Damian Lawlor is published by Black & White Publishing.

Noel Walsh from Clare, Fr Tom Scully and the incomparable Éamonn Ryan, who masterminded an incredible 10 All-Ireland titles for the Cork ladies, all passed away during the pandemic. It was a fitting way to conclude an important documentation of a troubling time in world history. “I had to honour three figureheads of our sport that we lost during Covid.

Sir - The Russian writer Solzhenitsyn is a man of truly heroic stature. Like John the Baptist, he will speak out the truth, even if it costs him his life. His exposure of the USSR concentration camps has brought on him the full fury of the regime. He is not afraid to die, but he may yet be saved if we all help out. The USSR is not entirely insensitive to world opinion. That opinion should now be heard, loud and clear. Now is the time for politicians and public bodies to speak out, for journalists to write, for students to demonstrate, and for everybody to pray. Time is running out for Alexandri Solzhenitsyn. The Irish Cultural Institute has given a noble lead by launching a "Help Solzhenitsyn!". Des Rushe has spoken out splendidly in the IRISH INDEPENDENT.

Nairobi, 16 October, 2022 / 9:50 pm (ACI Africa).
Ahead of the World Food Day (WFD) marked on October 16 annually, the leadership of the global confederation of Catholic relief agencies, Caritas Internationalis (CI), is calling on leaders across the globe, including Africa, to support “small-scale agriculture” in order to address “food injustice”.
In a Friday, October 14 report, CI officials say, “The only way to fight the current severe food crisis is to address the food injustice that stems from a lack of concern for the poorest and the most vulnerable and care for our common home.”

An Garda Síochána launched its Garda Centenary Online Photographic Archive 1922 – 2022 as part of its current centenary celebrations on the 13 July 2022.
In 2002, thousands of historical photographs captured by the formerly known Garda Photographic Section were discovered and work begun on their conservation and restoration.
When discovered, the images were on fragile glass plate negatives, mainly 6X4 inch in size having been placed in storage in 1979. It required painstaking work to digitise them and which culminates in today’s launch.
These significant photographs which document important periods both in Irish history and in the evolution of An Garda Síochána through the decades, are available to view online in one place.
This is the first time that the photographs will be available to and viewed by the public.

CLOTHES were once used until they fell apart — repaired and patched to be re-used, ending their lives as dishcloths and oil rags. Not today. In high-income countries in particular, clothing, footwear and upholstered furniture are increasingly frequently bought, discarded and replaced with new fashions, which are themselves soon discarded and replaced.
The proof is there in the data. In 1995, the textiles industry produced 7.6 kilograms of fibre per person on the planet. By 2018, this had nearly doubled to 13.8 kilograms per person — during which time the world’s population also increased, from 5.7 billion to 7.6 billion people. More than 60 million tonnes of clothing is now bought every year, a figure that is expected to rise still further, to around 100 million tonnes, by 2030. Take water. The fashion industry, one of the world’s largest users of water, consumes anywhere from 20 trillion to 200 trillion litres every year.

GAS Leak: Andrew Baxter, once an engineer in the oil and gas industry. Andrew Baxter estimated that 115,000 tonnes of methane had probably been released during the initial sudden pressure drop in Nord Stream 2, on the basis of the pipe’s dimensions and the water temperature. Per unit mass, methane has a much more potent greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide — particularly in the short term. Baxter says the overall impact of this leak is equivalent to the annual carbon emissions from two million cars. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-03111-x

PARISH: Confessions: Moyvane Saturday 6.45pm to 7.15pm. Eucharistic Adoration every Tues. after 10.00am Mass to 11.30am. The Pastoral Council met on Wednesday evening where its constitution was considered and approved. This is a guiding document to enable the Council to be more self-directing in accord with diocesan norms. It should enable the parish to assume more responsibility for Church-related matters. Some discussion on the mode of collection followed and it was agreed for now to continue to have baskets in prominent places inside the church doors. Please do not see non-passing of baskets as an indication that we do not need contributions. We do. We remain however jittery in the face of the Covid situation at the onset of winter. Consideration of energy use followed. It was proposed that we reduce the number of Masses from 3 to 2; Knockanure 7:30 (Sat) and Moyvane 10:30 (Sunday). Because some such arrangement is likely to come from the diocese soon, we did not come to any conclusion. It was also suggested that we heat sections of the churches (Moyvane especially) for weekend Masses. This was considered but it was agreed that this might not be appreciated though it may be a more responsible way ahead. It was however proposed at the Tuesday and Thursday Mass in Moyvane that heating would be confined to the front of the altar area.

SCHOOL: An education study considers whether it's better to group students based on ability (e.g., all gifted students in one class) or to employ "a cross-sectional grouping strategy where equal groups are formed, composed of individuals of varied aptitudes." The researchers were led by University of Rochester neurology professor Chad Heatwole. "We showed that, mathematically speaking, grouping individuals with similar skill levels maximizes the total learning of all individuals collectively," Heatwole said. "If one puts like-skilled students together, instructors can teach at a level that is not too advanced or trivial for the students and optimize the overall learning of all students collectively regardless of the group."

QUEEN: David Lyle Jeffrey, now a distinguished senior fellow at Baylor’s Institute for Studies in Religion, noted that he has never considered himself a “royalist,” but the queen’s death is certainly a time to explore the “essence of her admirable Christian character and gracious reign.” The former Baylor provost and literature professor entitled the poem “Regina Exemplaris (Queen of Patterns).” Here is how it ends:
… She who longest wore the heavy crown
Knew but to kneel before the unseen throne
And plead her people’s cause as for her own,
And there to praise the Lord of All, bowed down,
More conscious of his glory than her high acclaim,
Exemplar thus in worship, in praise more worthy of the Name.
SAINT Pio of Pietrelcina, popularly known as Padre Pio, grew up in southern Italy. At the age of 15, he joined the Capuchins and was ordained in 1910. Feast was on the 23rd September.

DEATH: 1974-03-02 Irish People- page2
Cumann na mBan Death The death of Miss Nora Buckley, late of Patrick Street, has removed from Listowel one of the town's most popular citizens. Nora was a member of an old and highly respected family which could lay claim to a rich national tradition. Her recent retirement from a business which she had shared with her sister, Tessie, who survives her, had surely been enlivened by memories of the grim and colourful experiences which she had shared with so many other Irish girls during the war of independence when she played an active role as a member of Cumann na mBan, attached to the North Kerry Brigade. The funeral following Requiem Mass celebrated in St. Mary's Parish Church was a splendid tribute to her memory. She is survived by her sister, Tessie Buckley, Mrs. Conlen, Boston, Rev. Laurence Buckley, USA, Rev. Lawrence Goulding, do., Corns Buckley, U.S.A., John Buckley, American Air Force, and Mrs. Lena Buckley, Listowel (sister-in-law), etc.

SIAMSA on Sunday 25th Sept. Opera, “The First Child”;Tenor Dean Power, a native of Clarecastle, Co. Clare spent the last ten years working in the ensemble at Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich. He describes what it is like to move back home.
“Performing in Ireland, especially in theatres around the country, is the best! Opera doesn’t have to only be available in one ‘grand’ form. Opera should be like water, able to fit into any environment and be performed under any circumstances. The First Child is an incredible opera. It is stacked with melodies. Its subject, although disturbing and heart-breaking, is completely relatable, funny, moving and gripping. To me it’s just wow!

INTERNMENT In the early hours of August 9th, 1971, more than 300 men were dragged from their beds by British Crown forces and marched off without trial, to concentration camps. Many were dressed only in pyjamas; some were barefoot; none were informed of their destination. Anxious wives and mothers asking when they could see their menfolk again, were given unprintable answers by the British soldiers. The ever smiling, then Prime Minister, Brian Faulkner, formally announced internment. Rioting followed. My midnight, 12 lay dead. On Wednesday the death toll stood at 17; by Saturday 22 had died. The numbers interned soon rose to over 600. For the sixth time since the establishment of Stormont, the Special Powers Act had been invoked to intern Republicans.

BY PAUL ROONEY
"LISTOWEL is a great place for a fleadh," announced one Scottish visitor last weekend on this his first visit to Ireland. It is an experience that will remain in his memory for a long, long time — and who could blame that Scotsman?;
This year's All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil attracted over 2,000 musicians to the north Kerry town and another 20,000 visitors and they certainly got value for money. And they came from the four corners of Ireland, from Britain, Europe, Australia and the United States — all united in a harmonious quest
for music.
The fleadh has now been an annual event for 30 years since Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann was founded in 1951. One of its major aims was to create a closer bond among all lovers of Irish music and some of its particular objectives to restore the playing of harp and uileann pipes. Its success has been formidable, as any fleadh visitor will testify.
There are two platforms for the musicians, who ranged from eight to eighty years old — one formal, the other anything but.
The formal competitions are divided into 35 different categories and four age groups. Their aim is to find the All-Ireland champion in each of these categories be it the fiddle, concert flute, harp, bodhran, banjo or melodian.
The event is also a barometer of Listowel — non-stop music of musical standards. And those standards were amazingly high last weekend, especially among the younger performers whose agility on their instruments provided an unending source of wonderment for the gathered multitudes.
But it was away from the strict area of competition that most of the musicians came into their own.
Hundreds of impromptu sessions were to be found in the streets, pubs and hotels of Listowel. Saturday's weather was very kind to the musicians apart from the odd shower of rain, which quite considerately held off its force until after one o'clock in the morning, when publicans finally ushered people in various states of euphoria out into the darkness.
But even the rain could not stop the crack. Musicians, soaked inside and out, kept the entertainment going with enthusiasts

WARMING: White wispy trails across the blue sky on a sunny day are one of the few attractive features of air travel. But they have a darker side, especially at night. For the condensation trails produced by the exhaust from aircraft engines are creating an often-invisible thermal blanket of cloud across the planet. Though lasting for only a short time, these “contrails” have a daily impact on atmospheric temperatures that is greater than that from the accumulated carbon emissions from all aircraft since the Wright Brothers first took to the skies more than a century ago.

CANCER: “Cancer doesn’t discriminate between red or blue, it doesn’t care if you’re a Republican or a Democrat,” Biden said in a speech Monday afternoon at the John F.

POPE: By Courtney Mares

In a speech to Kazakh civil authorities and diplomats in the capital city of Nur-Sultan on Sept. 13, the pope said he wanted to “echo the plea of all those who cry out for peace.”
“I have come here as a pilgrim of peace, seeking dialogue and unity. Our world urgently needs peace: it needs to recover harmony,” Pope Francis said from the stage of the Qazaq Concert Hall.

PLANTING in September is a good idea as it provides you with an earlier crop in spring, makes use of otherwise empty soil and saves you time on spring planting. Plenty of vegetables and flowers can be sown or planted in the UK in September, including hardy annuals like pot marigold and love-in-a-mist, which will bloom a couple of weeks earlier than those from a spring sowing. In the vegetable patch, crops like garlic and broad beans can be planted now, for earlier harvests the following spring and summer.

HEAT PUMPS:
Are refrigerants harmful to the climate?
Most of them are. Chemical refrigerants called hydrofluorocarbons have traditionally been the dominant choice for coolant used in heat pumps and air conditioning systems. These are up to 4,000 times more harmful to the climate than CO2 if they get into atmosphere, which can happen through leakage or incorrect disposal.
More and more heat pumps are now being sold with the climate-friendlier refrigerants propane, CO2 or ammonia. The European Union is phasing out the use of HFCs in heat pumps and air conditioners in favor of the greener alternatives.

A wife whose marriage, fraught with financial hardship and alcoholism, ended in formal separation; a mother who grieved the loss of her only child; a convert to Catholicism; a founder of a religious community dedicated to the care of poor incurable cancer patients

PORTLAND: Other families of labouring Irish participated more actively in the affairs of their parish church and national group. Timothy and Johanna Brandon were both 31 years old at their marriage in 1865. Living close to the centre of town at 12th and Jefferson Streets, Timothy, who held low-paying jobs as a labourer and a drayman, was elected to high offices in both the local Hibernian Benevolent and the Father Matthew Total Abstinence Society throughout the 70's. Whether there was friction between Timothy Brandon and the saloon-owners and hard drinkers who often led the Hibernian Society or whether his position as Marshal of the Total Abstinence group was insincere is unknown. Brandon, however, was a native of the County Kerry in the south-western reaches of Ireland, and he was probably not one to let differences of opinion over liquor interfere with good fellowship. Johanna Brandon, born in the neighbouring West Ireland county of Clare, entered her two daughters (born in 1866 and 1869) in St. Mary's when they were but five years old. Despite their family's poverty, both girls stayed in the convent school until they were well into their teens. Like most Irish women in Portland, Johanna Brandon evidently never worked outside her home.

American Prelate Returns From Concentration Camp THE MOST REVEREND THOMAS JOSEPH DRURY The Most Reverend Thomas J. Drury, Bishop of Corpus Christi, Texas, returns from a "fact finding mission" in Ireland, on Wednesday, August 29th. During his visit to. Ireland Bishop Drury made it a point to celebrate Mass with the Nationalists held without charge on trial in Long Kesh Concentration Camp. He visited in the same cage as young Patrick Crawford hanged himself a few months ago. The Bishop was most impressed with the quality of the men interned at the camp. Bishop Drury is the only American Bishop to have visited the Long Kesh Concentration Camp in Ireland. (Indeed, only two or three Irish Bishops have ever visited Long Kesh.) Although Bishop Drury was a Chaplain in the American Army during World War II, he says that even in Japan he never saw such horrible conditions as pertain in Long Kesh. He is so deeply disturbed about these conditions — and the consequent suffering of the men incarcerated — that he feels obliged to take the unusual action of holding a press conference. While in Ireland Bishop Drury also spoke to many of the leading political figures. On Thursday, August 30th, he will hold a press conference at 12:00 noon in the Commodore Hotel, 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue, New York, New York, Wandsor Court Room. All interested people are invited to attend. The press conference is open to the public.

CANADA Students; The monthly price of an average one-bedroom apartment in Toronto currently sits at $2,269 – a 20% increase from last year. Covenant House Toronto youth shelter executive director Mark Aston told Bloomberg he believes students now make up around one-third of the people who use his shelter – with the figure set to possibly increase amid soaring rent. In 2019, students made up 26% of the shelter’s residents.

KERRY, Édaein O’ Connell
Hi there! My name is Édaein O’ Connell, I am 27 years old and hail from Glenderry, a small townland situated just 10 minutes outside lovely Listowel in North Kerry. After many wonderful years in Galway, I graduated from NUIG with a Bachelors degree in Civil Law and a Higher Diploma in Business Studies. Finally, I completed an MSc in Digital Marketing from TU Dublin in 2018. I had planned on a career in social media management, but when McDonald’s cruelly struck caramel sundaes from its menu, I happened upon a career in freelance journalism. Since that fateful event, I have written for the Irish Independent, Metro UK, The Sunday Times Style, Image, and more. I write about everything from pop culture to travel to societal issues and I am also a regular contributor to the Jennifer Zamparelli Show on RTÉ 2FM where I seek out the best stories from Munster and place them on a national stage. I’m also an avid reader and singer, having won two All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil titles. I love nothing more than getting on a plane, socialising with friends, and spending a week in the glory that is the Listowel Races.

FOOD: According to a 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 30-40% of the food supply in America goes to waste. “Wasted food is the single biggest material placed in municipal landfills each year,” says Jenny Murphy, Senior Supply Chain Director at City Harvest — a New York City-based nonprofit that rescues surplus food from donors, farms, restaurants, and grocery stores and redistributes it to soup kitchens and food pantries across the five boroughs. “Municipal landfills are one of the biggest contributors of human-related methane in the country, and that's accounting for more than 14% of all of those emissions.”

Kerry Writers' Museum; On May 12th 1921, a troop of Black and Tans were travelling out from Listowel towards Athea when they arrested four young unarmed men in Gortaglanna. They were brought to a nearby field to be executed, but one, Con Dee escaped.
The killing of the three local Volunteers, Paddy Dalton, Jerry Lyons and Paddy Walsh, at 'The Valley of Knockanure' was one of the more tragic events in the fight for Irish freedom in North Kerry. In this lecture, local historian & author Martin Moore, examines the background to this event, the profiles of those who lost their lives and looks at further dimensions of the Gortaglanna deaths.
This is the fourth in a series of lectures organised by Kerry Writers' Museum as part of it's North Kerry War of Independence Centenary Commemoration Programme. The lecture is kindly supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Art, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media under the Decade of Centenaries Programme.

The Valley of Knockanure is a tragic ballad commemorating an atrocity during the War of Independence at Gortaglanna near Knockanure, County Kerry, Ireland.
On the 12 May 1921, a troop of 'Black and Tans' were travelling out from Listowel towards Athea when they arrested three young men in Gortaglanna. Prior to this the barracks in Listowel had been burnt-out and the troops, heavy with drink and bent on seeking revenge decided to execute the young men. One of the men, Dalton, attempted to free himself from captivity but was thwarted in his efforts by a bullet. Both of the other two men were shot on the spot. Today a memorial stands by the roadside where those three friends died on that fateful day during Ireland's fight for Independence.
In memory of Jeremiah Lyons, Patrick Dalton and Patrick Walsh, murdered by Crown Forcesat Gortagleanna.

Michael Collins—man and myth
Born in West Cork in 1890, Michael Collins joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) as a teenager while working as a clerk in London. He fought in the GPO in 1916, and rose to prominence by the War of Independence, combining the positions of Dáil minister for finance and IRA director of intelligence.
How can his meteoric rise be explained?
Why did he sign the Treaty?
Did he intend to tear it up and invade the North?
Was he by the outbreak of the Civil War effectively a military
dictator?
Why are the circumstances of his death at Béal na Bláth, exactly a century ago, still disputed?
To address these and related questions, join History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, in discussion with John Borgonovo, Gemma Clark, Dominic Price and John Regan.

Lauretta Brown Blogs- August 25, 2022
Planned Parenthood is investing $50 million ahead of November’s midterm elections, aiming to reach 6 million voters in key states through canvassing, phone banking, mail, TV and digital advertising.
The amount surpasses the $45 million the abortion group spent in the 2020 election cycle. The 14 states that the organization is concentrating their efforts in are “positioned to either ban or expand access” to abortion, and the group aims to “preserve and expand abortion access in as many states as possible.”

PAULINE O’Connell artist; My work is interested in the identity of the local. In particular the specific trace of human presence and its erasure over time – rooted in the dialectic it considers the material world, its politics, ideologies both physical and ephemeral.
The gathering of stories conflating fact, fiction and folklore has been a constant in my practice to date, exploring these concerns through public commissions and pedagogical initiatives, curating, writing, exhibitions and collaborations.
PLASTIC Bottles are littering local roads, since the arrival of the hot weather. There is talk about global warming, yet our government, are unable to provide drinking fountains in public places. The few water fountains, are usually hidden and placed where they are least noticed. There is one tap in Killarney, near the government office and it is hidden in a hedge. The other tap is near the Court House, hidden again among bollards. Water is available in Athea, Adare and Dingle, all inadequately signposted.
C02; the fashion industry currently produces 10% of annual global carbon emissions; British report says the 80% of the CO2 savings from clean cars will be negated by the £27bn planned roads programme; domestic flights are counted in a country’s emission accounts. International flights are not; A statement released by the UIA said: "Urban areas account for more than 70% of global energy consumption and CO2 emissions, mainly buildings. Over the next two decades, it is projected to build and rebuild an area approximately equal to 60% of the world's total stock in urban areas around the world.
Government’s decision to cut emissions by 25 per cent in farming is strange as we are producing food for other countries, saving them greenhouse gas emissions.

MR AND MRS J. DWYER Mr and Mrs John Dwyer, 555 Manchester street, will celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage tomorrow. Mr and Mrs Dwyer are well known in Christchurch, as Well as in many other parts of the Dominion where Mr Dwyer was stationed during his 43 years’ service in the Police Force. Mr Dwyer was for nine years Superintendent of Police in the Canterbury district. He retired from the service in 1922, on which occasion he was accorded a public farewell. Mr Dwyer, who was born in Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland, came to New Zealand in 1878 on the sailing ship City of Auckland, which was wrecked, on the Otaki coast. Many and varied are the experiences which Mr Dwyer can recall. For his rescue work during the Cumberland street fire in Dunedin in 1882, he was presented by the City Council with a silver medal for valour. He also holds the Australasian Royal Humane Society’s award for bravery, which was presented to him in 1893 for his attempt, in very dangerous circumstances, to rescue a man from drowning in Oamaru harbour.
When the then. Prince of Wales visited Christchurch in 1920, Mr Dwyer was probably one of the happiest men in the city, for in recognition of the excellent work of the police in Christchurch, the Prince presented him with a gold tie pin.
Mr Dwyer has been associated with many cases which have made police history in New Zealand, and wherever he has been stationed he and Mrs Dwyer have won the respect and affection of those among whom they have lived. Mrs Dwyer, Who was born in Australia, came to New Zealand at the age of seven years. Mr and Mrs Dwyer were married in St. Joseph’s Cathedral, Dunedin, by the Rev, Father P. Lynch. They have one son, Mr Philip Dwyer, of Gisborne, and three, surviving daughters, Mesdames N. Lyttelton (Auckland), David Lusk (Fendalton) and F. B. Freed (Wellington). There are three grandchildren.

HEALTH: A new study suggests the soundscape could have affected the mental health of 19th-century settlers. by James Gaines July 22, 2022
These details caught the imagination of Alex D. Velez, a paleoanthropologist with State University of New York at Oswego who studies the evolution of human hearing, and made him wonder: is there any truth to this idea? Now, a new paper by Velez published in Historical Archaeology suggests this eerie soundscape—the silence and the howling wind—could indeed have contributed to mental illness in settlers. It’s not much of a leap: research with modern subjects has shown that what we hear can exacerbate not only sleep, stress, and mental health problems, but even cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

HISTORY: Under Joseph Stalin’s regime in 1944, Soviet Russia carried out a full-scale campaign to rid the Crimean Peninsula of its indigenous Tatar population. Around 200,000 people were deported from their homes and land, an estimated 8,000 of whom died en route to Central Asia.

TG4, 24/08 @ 21:30; The untold story of Irish song The Laughing Boy, written by Brendan Behan in memory of Michael Collins. With an extraordinary afterlife as To Yelasto Paidi, it became the powerful left-wing anthem of resistance in Greece in the late Sixties. The film takes poet Theo Dorgan on an odyssey of his own, as he uncovers the truth of the story behind the song. It is a narrative that interweaves the tragic and bloody birth-pangs of both modern Ireland and modern Greece. But these histories are also bound together by something more profound and transcendent - the power of a song.

SATURDAY, MARCH 2,1974
THE IRISH PEOPLE- PAGE 3
The Minister for Justice, Mr. Cooney, last night appealed to the public to be prepared to stand up and be counted in their attitude to the Provisional IRA. And in this connection he urged that IRA collection boxes and newspapers should be ignored by all citizens loyal to the State. Speaking at a Fine Gael function in Listowel, the Minister warned: "There can be no compromise in the question of loyalty to the State on the one hand, and the giving of support to the IRA on its fronts, on the other hand." Mr. Cooney said the most potent weapon in the fight against the IRA was a "cold and antagonistic public opinion", directed against that body in whatever form it manifests itself. He warned that there were many front organisations for the Provisionals with meritorious titles using terms like civil rights, prisoners dependants and others. Those of us who believed in parliamentary democracy and who abhorred violence, must, by our personal attitudes to the IRA in any of its manifestations, make clear our abhorrence of their tactics, he said. "Each of us may be tested from time to time in a small way to show that we are prepared to stand up and be counted in this regard," Mr. Cooney went on.

U.S. Immigrant Visas Show Slight Rise The Visa Office of the U.S. State Department has issued its annual report, a copy of which was recently forwarded to the American Irish Immigration Committee in New York. During fiscal year 1973 (from July 1972 to June 1973) 972 U.S. immigrant visas were issued in Ireland. This figure represents a slight rise over the 1972 figure when 881 visas were issued, but is far below the 1964 figure of 6,328 visas. That was the final year before the 1965 U.S. Immigration Law went into effect. The number of non-immigrant or visitor's visas issued in Ireland in 1973 was 27,363, an increase of 2,000 over the 1972 figure. In 1964 only 8,307 visitor's visas were issued to Irishmen. Allowing for the fact that improved economic conditions in Ireland allow for an increased number of tourists to the U.S., such a figure gives rise to speculation that a fair number of Irishmen are using the visitor visa circuit to attempt to enter the U.S. Recent legislation and administration changes should cut down on this means of entry in the near future. The top ten countries sending immigrants to the U.S. in 1973 were the Philippines (27,229), Korea (22,514), China (21,052), Italy (21,026), India (12,768), Greece (10,824), Portugal (10,790), Great Britain (10,003), Yugoslavia (7,905) and Germany (5,785).

ISOLATED: Why do we get a buzz from being in large groups at festivals, jubilees and other public events? According to the social brain hypothesis, it’s because the human brain specifically evolved to support social interactions. Studies have shown that belonging to a group can lead to improved wellbeing and increased satisfaction with life.
Unfortunately though, many people are lonely or socially isolated. And if the human brain really did evolve for social interaction, we should expect this to affect it significantly. Our recent study, published in Neurology, shows that social isolation is linked to changes in brain structure and cognition – the mental process of acquiring knowledge – it even carries an increased risk of dementia in older adults.

WATER being cut off is a constant problem in the locality. Everyone should know, operating washing machines and electric showers, are a No No, when water is off. We have so many wet days, a barrel under the downpipe, would go a long way in getting you out of an emergency. The older generation, having children going to the well with a bucket and the younger ones with a sweet gallon, was always part of a day’s work. Turning the water back on, with full pressure and air in pipes, is a recipe for another break.

It includes the five storey Mill, originally built as a grain drying store in 1846, the Creamery and Famine Hospital which both appear on the 1851 map of the village, and a large buried eighteenth century boat dock in the centre of the site, which will be excavated and reinstated as a dock for wooden boats. All of the buildings have been disused for a number of years, but work is about to start on the restoration of the buildings and walled yards which make up the old port of Ballylongford.

DAIL REPORT: Dáil Éireann - Volume 11 - 29 April, 1925
Mr. J. CROWLEY: I support Deputy Baxter's motion, and I would press upon the Executive the great necessity for immediate relief to farmers who have lost stock through disease. I am in a position to know as much as, or more than, any person, perhaps, in this Assembly, about mortality amongst cattle in Kerry, West Limerick and parts of Cork, but particularly in North Kerry, because I happen to be a veterinary surgeon and an inspector of dairies and cowsheds. Our firm are probably the largest buyers of hides and skins in County Kerry. I have been twenty years veterinary surgeon and about thirty years at the other business, and I can say confidently that during the time I remember—for the last thirty or thirty-five years—I have not seen as great a mortality amongst cattle as for the last three or four months. Thousands of yearlings have died and hundreds of milch cows are dying now. Many small uneconomic holders who were depending on the little money that a few yearlings—two, three or five—may bring at this time of the year, to pay rates and annuities, now cannot pay. Unless the State aids them, I can foresee an extremely busy time for the sub-sheriffs of County Kerry and other counties. In many cases, I believe, they will return: “Nothing to seize.” I believe that is the return just now in many cases in Kerry, because many of the small farmers have absolutely no stock left.
I can quote from statistics as to the execution of court judgments. During [511] the quarter ended March, 1925, in County Kerry there were, according to the return, 374 judgments executed. That fact speaks for itself. I know, in some cases in North Kerry, where the sub-sheriff seized the last cow belonging to a poor man. I saw him take from a small farmer in Listowel six cows out of ten for rates. I had myself to come to the rescue of some small uneconomic holders down there. I will quote the names and addresses of persons who have sustained losses in my district. These are cases that I can prove:—
Daniel Foran, Coolard, Listowel, lost 11 cows out of 14; lost all calves.
Patrick Kennelly, Dromin, Listowel, lost 8 cows out of 14; lost 8 young cattle out of 8.
John Lyons, Knockburrane, Lixnaw, lost 9 cows out of 24; lost 26 young cattle out of 26.
Michael Purtill, Kilcolgan, Ballylongford, lost 6 cows out of 12; lost 6 heifers out of 6; lost 4 calves out of 4.
Mrs. Bridget Kennelly, Moybella, Liselton, lost 4 cows out of 10; lost 12 young cattle out of 12.
Maurice Carmody, Skehenerin, Listowel, lost 7 cows out of 7.
T. O'Connor, Derry, Listowel, lost 23 cows out of 35.
P. Lynch, Bunagare, Listowel, lost 4 cows out of 4.
T. O'Connor, Kilmorna, lost 22 yearlings, 6 two-year-olds, 2 cows.
P. O'Connor, Kealid, Newtownsandes, lost 11 cows, 10 yearlings and 6 two-year-olds.
These are only a few of the many cases that I can prove.

ANNIE MOORE, the first emigrant ever to be processed at Ellis Island on 1 January 1892. A statue of Annie Moore and her two brothers is located directly outside Cobh Heritage Centre.
A similar statue of Annie can be found in Ellis Island, New York, representing the honour of being the first emigrant to pass through Ellis Island and standing as a symbol of the many Irish who have embarked on that very same journey.

UFO: First: The Department of Defense, in an unprecedented move, spoke publicly about UFOs. That's nice of them. But UFOs are literally unidentified flying objects, nothing more. "The Pentagon acknowledges the existence of UFOs" does not mean "The Pentagon unveils their secret info on aliens." It means "the Pentagon admits that they have not been able to identify 100% of stuff sighted in the sky. Of course they haven't been able to identify everything. The only weird part was their refusal to admit that for so long.
The Pentagon has now switched to a new term instead of UFO: UAP, or unidentified aerial phenomena. This term means exactly the same thing as unidentified flying object, but they had to switch because people wrongly think UFO means "stealthy extraterrestrial." Unfortunately, the switch isn't really working. Instead of a new but accurate term, people think UAP is a euphemism for UFO, think that the new term is still about aliens but seeks to downplay that fact.

CO2; Prof. Allen from the University of Oxford
A herd of 10 cows generates about 1 tonne of methane per year, which, under standard carbon-footprint calculation, suggests that this is equivalent to 28 tonnes of CO2 per year, according to Prof. Allen.
“Whereas, if (like the Irish average) that herd was built up over the last century, it is only causing an ongoing warming equivalent to about 8 tonnes of CO2 per year, a factor of three to 4 times less than 28 ----------------------------------

History- Five Days in London- By John Lukacs
From a New York Times bestselling author: In May 1940, the British War Cabinet spent five consequential days debating whether to negotiate with Hitler — or continue to fight back. This “gripping” account (The Boston Globe) “can be compared to such classics as… Barbara Tuchman’s The Guns of August” (Harper’s Magazine).
------------------------------
Smith argues that the end to which we are oriented (and we are all oriented toward some vision of “the good life”) is not primarily something we think about, but what we desire — we are motivated by a vision of flourishing that we crave at a visceral level. This is our vision of what will deliver happiness, of what society should look like, and how the world ought to be. So Descartes was wrong in the end: We are not defined simply by what we think — in many ways, we are what we love.
There are competing visions of the good life. We may think that we wish to seek God and live as kind, virtuous, loving people, but we may very well be worshiping what many Christians call false idols and others call false paths to happiness. Often we follow these hollow desires unconsciously, but we can see them reflected in our daily habits and in our environment.

(Break)
"Dear Sean: I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Paddy Joe Cahill died, two days ago. He died quietly in his room. All the Kerry guys at the bar were very upset and John Sheehy said that I must let you know. I know that you and old Paddy Joe had many a good crack, together and that you both came from North Kerry. I hope you and yours are well and again, my sincere regrets for being the bearer of sad news. Your friend, Timothy Horgan."'

DEATH AT MIDNIGHT OF REV. FATHER LEAHY OF PETALUMA Much Beloved Priest Dies Suddenly While on an Outing at Duncans Springs—Many Years of Labour in Sonoma County
At midnight the Rev. Father Jeremiah Leahy, beloved pastor of St. Vincent’s Roman Catholic Church, Petaluma, died at Duncan Springs, where he went a short time since. The news of his death reached the Rev. Father Fletcher, his assistant in Petaluma, shortly after the sad occurrence, and when it becomes generally known the entire community, many friends in Santa Rosa, and his old parish, Sonoma, will be bowed in grief. The deceased priest had not been in robust health for some time. It will be remembered that he was sick unto death last November, and it was a king while before he was enabled to return to his parochial work. Father Leahy was a saintly man of splendid character and his deeds of self-sacrifice in the cause of Christ among his parishioners ever endeared himself to them. People of all creeds respected and esteemed him. His death was unexpected. Only Thursday Father Fletcher had received word that he was feeling much better in the environment of the Springs. This was his second visit there this year. Father Leahy was born in County Kerry, Ireland. He was educated and ordained In All Hallows College, Dublin, the same place in which the Rev Father Casein of this city was ordained. This was in the year 1888. That same year Father Leahy came to California and to Petaluma, where he became assistant to the late Rev, Father James Cleary.

BACTERIA: The thin white filament, approximately the size of a human eyelash, is “by far the largest bacterium known to date,” said Jean-Marie Volland, a marine biologist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and co-author of a paper announcing the discovery Thursday in the journal Science.
A normal bacterial species measures 1-5 micrometers long. This species averages 10,000 micrometers (four-tenths of an inch/1 cm) long, with some Thiomargarita magnifica twice that length. The largest known bacterium until now had a maximum length of around 750 micrometers.

MISS MY CHILD: Roxane Salonen Nation- June 28, 2022
She would give almost anything to reverse time and choose differently, but that’s not an option for Mary Kominski. “I miss my child every day,” she told the Register.
Fifty years have passed since the New Jersey woman had her abortion at age 17. Now 67, her memories of that day remain fresh. But so does the tightly held hope of preventing others from the same regret.
“We’re seeing [the effects of abortion] now in society. There’s so much depression and anger. And anger is a huge one — especially in women who are post-abortive and not healed,” Kominski said. “That’s why you see so much screaming and yelling … it’s so deep and dark.”
The voices of those wanting to tell of the devastation of abortion have been largely squelched, she said. But with the June 24 overturning of Roe v. Wade, the time is ripe for the truth.

Ortega government orders dissolution of Missionaries of Charity in Nicaragua------------------
According to the government of Daniel Ortega, the missionaries are not accredited “by the Ministry for the Family to function as a nursery-center for childhood development, home for girls, and home for the elderly,” nor “do they have an operating permit from the Ministry of Education to provide remedial education for students” and their “financial statements reported to the Ministry of the Interior don’t agree” with other documents presented for review.
The list of organizations the government has ordered to shut down also includes the Catholic Foundation for Human Development Assistance for Nicaraguans, the Spirituality Foundation for Children of Nicaragua, the My Childhood Mothers Foundation, and the Diriomito Children’s Care Home Association, among others.
According to the EFE news agency, the Missionaries of Charity Association was created Aug. 16, 1988, and opened following the visit Mother Teresa made to Nicaragua during the first term of Daniel Ortega (1985–1990). The Sandinista regime had already been in power since 1979 when President Anastasio Somoza was overthrown.

FEAST of Ss. Peter & Paul the Apostles is celebrated on Wed. 29th June.
SAINT Oliver Plunkett – Feast Day: 1st July, Saint Oliver Plunkett is believed to have been born on 1st November 1625 in Lough Crew, Co Meath. His family was from Irish nobility and supported King Charles 1 of England. He went to Rome to study for the priesthood at the Irish College and was ordained a priest there on 1st January 1654. He became a Professor of Theology in Rome from 1654 until 1669. He was appointed Archbishop of Armagh in 1669 and returned to Ireland the following year. He was forced to conduct a covert ministry during the suppression of priests at that time in the seventeenth century. He was arrested and tried at Dundalk in 1679 for conspiring against the state. It was seen that Oliver would never be convicted in Ireland so he was moved to Newgate Prison in London. Saint Oliver Plunkett was found guilty of high treason for “promoting the Catholic faith” and was condemned to a gruesome death. He was martyred on 1st July 1681 at Tyburn by hanging, disembowelling, quartering and beheading. He was the last Catholic to die for his faith at Tyburn and the first of the Irish martyrs to be beatified. His body was initially buried in two tin boxes next to five Jesuits who had died before him; his head is in St. Peter’s Church in Drogheda, Co Louth, most of his body is at Down Abbey, England and some relics are elsewhere in Ireland. His beatification took place on 23rd May 1920 and he was canonised on 12th October 1975.

St. Columba’s 1,500-year-old legacy includes this new Scottish Catholic pilgrimage
St. Columba, also known as St. Colmcille, was born in Ireland on Dec. 7, 521. He studied at several monasteries and became a priest. He spent 15 years in Ulster traveling, preaching and founding monasteries. He left Ireland in 563. One account of his life says he left simply in order to preach the Word of God. Another account says he had become complicit in a war between feuding tribes and then repented of his sins, taking on foreign missionary work as a penance.
He died June 9, 597, on what is now observed as his feast day.

REFUGEES: About 26.4 million people have fled their countries because of conflict, violence, persecution, or human rights violations.— 82.4 million — have been forcibly displaced from their homes, according to U.N. Refugee Agency (UNHCR). That number has doubled in the last decade. The previous spike in displacement occurred after World War II when 60 million people were left homeless.
An estimated 22.8 million Afghan people, more than half the country’s population, are facing potentially life-threatening levels of food insecurity and malnutrition this year.

GREEN; Minister Eamon Ryan says that phase two of the national offshore plan, which includes the coast of Kerry, will happen before 2027., saying it was time to move away from fossil fuels proposal at Tarbert-Ballylongford land bank.
The Kerry County Development Plan undermines its ability to contribute to national targets for renewable energy, according to the Office of the Planning Regulator.
Comment the local greenway may take another couple of years to fully open, not to mind offshore generation, which will begin with only cosmetic generation.

Hot-water bottles and sleeping bags: can I get away with barely using any energy?
Energy prices will more than double this year. Turning off lights not in use, and running the washing machine and dishwasher at lower temperatures and always full can help claw some of that cost back. Also, switching off devices from the plug: up to 16% of energy bills are from appliances left on standby. Whole meals can be concocted in the microwave, and it’s cheaper to cook with than the oven (frugal tip: if you are using the oven, cook as much as you can in it, and then let the heat out to warm your home). Kettles are generally more efficient than boiling by hob, especially if you don’t overfill them. Some extreme frugallers boil the kettle once a day, keeping the water hot with flasks. My goal? Soft boiling an egg in the kettle. The result? Success! Even though the price I pay is getting a mouthful of egg in my tea because an earlier attempt cracked. (It is, apparently, safe to drink your used egg water, but some frugallers suggest the best use is to water your plants instead.)

On June 19, 1865, nearly 20,000 troops led by Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas. Granger read from Order No. 3, which informed the people of Texas that the remaining 250,000 slaves were to be freed and could begin working for wages. These slaves were among the very last in the country to hear the news of their freedom, two years after President Abraham Lincoln read his Emancipation Proclamation. The news was met with celebration across the state.
From that day forth, the day and its yearly celebrations were remembered as Juneteenth, America's other independence day.

NOVENA in Limerick

=====================
By Sheila Pires
Juba, 22 June, 2022 / 8:50 pm (ACI Africa).
On the occasion of World Refugee Day marked Monday, June 20, a former refugee who fled war-torn South Sudan, has highlighted the role of the Catholic Church in general and Catholic missionaries in particular in his life journey.
In an interview with ACI Africa, world renowned Pulmonologist and author Dr. Emmanuel Malish Taban said, “God somehow planted all the Catholic missionaries along my way to aid my journey to where I am today.”
https://www.aciafrica.org/news/6123/god-planted-catholic-missionaries-to-aid-my-journey-former-south-sudanese-refugee?utm_campaign=ACI%20Africa&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=217414718&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8FSlljJDNMhy_Y4zxLE6zqREjWMXT7mAprP1tx3Fe7tAEmfGLPGuyP6cOvswykp0NKMv59PbTRu3-LKOkT7VFnRzCmug&utm_content=217414718&utm_source=hs_email
============================
The White House announced recently that the United States will recommit to an Obama-era initiative limiting the use of anti-personnel landmines (APL), which it said have a “disproportionate impact on civilians, including children, long after fighting has stopped.” The decision does not apply to the Korean Peninsula due to “unique circumstances,” but Bureau of Political-Military Affairs official Stanley Brown told reporters APLs haven’t been used by American forces in “any significant way” since the Gulf War.
-------------------------------
TITANIC: Scholar Jess Bier examines what was done with those bodies and explains how their identification and treatment was wrapped up in their economic valuation. All the recovered dead were numbered for the records, but some counted a lot more than others. As she notes, “Decisions about which bodies to bury at sea were made largely according to the perceived economic class of the recovered victims, and those with third-class tickets were far more likely to be returned to the water.”
The Titanic’s microcosm of class distinctions are now infamous. “From the allegations that some steerage passengers were locked below decks, to the overwhelming better chances of survival for first-class passengers, such distinctions were assumed to be a natural part of society,” writes Bier. Class distinction also, it seems, extended beyond death. Bier contrasts the preservation and return of well-off victims with the rapid decomposition and burial at sea of the less well-off. Approximately one-third of the recovered bodies, some 114 of them, were returned to the very waters from which they’d been pulled.
-------------------------------------------
Reflection; You can say so much with your hands, To the sick it says – “Hold on, I am with you”. To a close friend your handshake says – “it’s good to see you again” while to the stranger it says “Welcome, I am pleased to meet you..” A hand can be a greeting or a wave of goodbye. It can say thank you, good luck and deliver a whole host of other messages. In truth, you can often say more with your hand than with any words.
--------------------
I do my thing and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I. If by chance we find each other it will be beautiful.
REDUCING STRESS – Let other people do their own thing – you are not the General Manager of the Universe.
Patience is counting down without blast off.
Sympathy is never wasted except when you give too much to yourself.
-----------------------------------------
THAT'S NOT MY JOB!
This is a story about four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody
would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry
about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do
it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that
Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done!
NOW IS THE HOUR...
Why fear tomorrow, timid heart?
Why tread the future's way?
We only need do our part,
Today, dear heart, today.
The past is written. Close the book on pages sad and grey;
Within the future do not look, but live today - today.
This one hour God has given us; Him we must now obey
and it will make our earth His heaven,
If we live and love Him today - today.

God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages, The power of eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities, when there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete, and so, He called it.......Dad.

BALLADS: Rhyming History: The War of Independence & the ballads of atrocity in The Valley of Knockanure
122 views 16 May 2021 “If a man were permitted to make all the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nation”: Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun (1653-1716), Scottish patriot.
In this lecture poet and author Gabriel Fitzmaurice will draw together the threads of traditional lore and balladry with the steel-wire of factual evidence to explain the origins of the ballad ‘The Valley of Knockanure’ by the internationally acclaimed writer, Bryan MacMahon, who had been commissioned to do so in 1946 by Pádraig Ó Ceallacháin, a noteworthy activist in the cause for Irish Independence.
This is the fifth in a series of lectures organised by Kerry Writers' Museum as part of it's North Kerry War of Independence Centenary Commemoration Programme. The lecture is supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Art, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media under the Decade of Centenaries Programme.

NIGERIA: “Terrorists are on free loose slaughtering, massacring, injuring, and installing terror in different parts of Nigeria since over eight years not because of any reasonable thing but because they are evil — period,” he commented.
The bishop, who has led the Diocese of Ondo since 2010, said that there was “a profound fear in every part of the country” due to widespread kidnappings, as well as attacks on churches, markets, and public transport.
He underlined that his flock understood the importance of protecting the environment, as set out in Pope Francis’ 2015 encyclical Laudato si’.
“While we are still mourning our loved ones after the horrible attack, I wish to appeal to those who are trying to take advantage of this horrific event to project any form of ideological agenda, to desist from such opportunism,” he said.
“I implore everyone to pray for Nigeria and indeed for peace in the world.”
“The victims of terrorism and indeed all the people of Nigeria would be thankful if world leaders propose fruitful ideas to the government of Nigeria on how to protect the citizens and make Nigeria a safe place to live.”
“This would be a better way of honoring the victims of hate and putting an end to the incessant killings in Nigeria.”

EXHIBITION “Protest!”, presented at the Gallery of Photography Ireland, looks at the role of photography in documenting the various political and social movements that have taken place in Ireland from the late 1960s to the present day. The exhibition focuses on the many fights the photographers have immortalized, from civil rights to “The Troubles,” economic issues, women’s and LGBTQIA+ or travellers’ rights, international movements for change, including pacifist movements, Black Lives Matter or #MeToo.

Everywhere it's tried, rent control harms the people it's meant to help. Yet foolish politicians continue to implement it.
Rent control once destroyed much of my town, New York. Because landlords couldn’t make money, some set fire to their own buildings to collect insurance.
The late economist Walter Williams once told me, "Short of aerial bombardment, the best way to destroy a city is through rent controls.”
=======================
FOOD loss and waste is estimated to be roughly one third of the food intended for human consumption in the United States. When food is discarded, all inputs used in producing, processing, transporting, preparing, and storing discarded food are also wasted. Food loss and waste also exacerbates the climate change crisis with its significant greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint. Production, transportation, and handling of food generate significant Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions and when food ends up in landfills, it generates methane, an even more potent greenhouse gas.

Jackie Lambert suspects that her habit of showering only every three days is unusual. “But I’m unapologetic for it because I think it’s fine,” she laughs. After all, a daily shower is more about cultural expectations than hygiene.
To be fair, Lambert’s whole lifestyle is on the unusual side. After she and her husband were made redundant in their early 50s, they decided to rent out their house in the coastal town of Bournemouth, UK, and move into a caravan with their four dogs for much of the year. At the moment, they’re in a village in the Italian Alps.

Excessive Usage of Water
The fashion industry consumes one tenth of all of the water used industrially to run factories and clean products. To put this into perspective, it takes 10,000 liters of water to produce one kilogram of cotton or approximately 3,000 liters of water for one cotton shirt. Furthermore, textile dyeing requires toxic chemicals that subsequently end up in our oceans. Approximately 20% of the wastewater worldwide is attributed to this process, which accumulates over time. As many factories moved overseas as stated previously, they may be in countries without strict environmental regulations, resulting in untreated water to enter the oceans. Regrettably, the wastewater created is extremely toxic and in many cases, cannot be treated to become safe again.

POETRY: Delmore Schwartz- 1913 (New York) – 1966
Delmore Schwartz was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Jewish Romanian immigrants. Schwartz offered a number of explanations for what John Ashbery once characterized as his “artificially English-sounding name Delmore.” According to Schwartz’s biographer, James Atlas, “sometimes he would insist he had been named after a delicatessen across the street from the house where he was born, sometimes that his mother had been fond of an actor who was named Frank Delmore. In still other versions, the name was taken from a Tammany Hall club, a Pullman railroad car, or a Riverside Drive apartment house.

NOVENA TO THE SACRED HEART – 16TH – 24TH JUNE.
O divine Jesus who said “Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened to you. I kneel at your feet. From whom shall I ask if not from you, whose heart is the source of all blessings. O Divine Jesus your Heart was moved by compassion for the men and women who came to you in need. You healed the sick, you forgave sinners. You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. O Divine Jesus your heart is still full of compassion for us today in our many needs. Assured of your love we turn to you and ask …(mention your requests). I admit I am most unworthy of your favour, Jesus, but this is not a reason for me to be discouraged. You are the God of mercies, and you will not refuse a contrite heart. Look with pity on me, I beg you so that your compassionate heart will find in my weakness a motive for granting my request. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be everywhere loved. Our Lady of the Sacred Heart pray for us. Amen.

WAR: The Tablet
On June 8, 1972, Nick Ut was a Vietnamese photographer covering a battle 25 miles northwest of Saigon when he saw an attack bomber drop napalm on the village of Trảng Bàng.
Ut’s photo of a 9-year-old girl with outstretched arms was carried by his employer, The Associated Press. Titled “The Terror of War,” it won the 1973 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography.

Trees like poplars can be used in what Kirkwood and Kennen call a “groundwater migration tree stand,” where the trees “modify the groundwater hydrology and keep contaminants from migrating.” These stands are commonly used for contaminants like trichloroethylene (TCE) and polychloroethlyene (PCE) that accompany military and industrial sites and are common dry-cleaning contaminants; petroleum at gas stations and refineries; and an overabundance of nutrients like nitrogen. They report poplar species including eastern cottonwood (P. deltoides) and trembling aspen (P. tremuloides) as notable remediative plants for their high biomass, fast growth, and—most importantly for capturing contaminants—deep tap roots and high evapotranspiration rates. With their groundwater-seeking roots, the trees can intercept contaminated water or be planted to draw groundwater away from a contaminant plume. High rates of evapotranspiration—the process by which water departs from the plant via the foliage—means the plant will move the water quickly, and hybrid poplars (along with fellow Salicaceae family member willows) are particularly adept at this.
TREES: Climate Action Plan for this country is to plant 8,000 hectare per year. Planting by farmers in 2021 was only 360 hectares.

Mayo's D-Day heroine receives special US honour
(Maureen Flavin Sweeney was born at Knockanure and is now 99 years.)
Updated / Sunday, 20 Jun 2021
By Teresa Mannion- Regional Reporter
A 98-year-old woman living in Co Mayo, has been given a special US House of Representatives honour in Belmullet this evening, for the role she played in changing the course of world history with her weather reports.
Maureen Sweeney, who is originally from Co Kerry, forecast an impending storm from Blacksod station in 1944 which changed the timing of the D-Day landings and ultimately secured victory for the Allies.
The remote Blacksod lighthouse and coastguard station played a key role during World War II supplying Britain with weather reports.
Ted and Maureen Sweeney were amongst those taking readings on an hourly basis, which were being secretly phoned into London.
At 1pm on 3 June 1944, 21-year-old Maureen was first to forecast a severe Atlantic storm, which led to a change of plan in one of the world's biggest military operations.
D-Day was postponed to 6 June and the rest is history.
Maureen's readings unwittingly gave the Allies two day advance warning of stormy conditions in western Europe, forcing General Dwight D Eisenhower to delay his meticulously planned invasion of Normandy.
Maureen's son, Vincent, is the lighthouse keeper at Blacksod Point and he recalled how she used rudimentary instruments and equipment to record weather data.
This was one of her duties in the little post office in Blacksod, which he described as "being a world away from the bloodshed and tragedy of the war".
Vincent said people in the area had no idea of the significance of the weather report and rather the part it was to play in the war.
Maureen Sweeney was honoured at Tí Aire nursing home in Belmullet.
A letter was read out from the World War II museum in New Orleans, Louisiana, as well as a personal note from US Congressman and retired 3-Star Admiral Jack Bergman (Michigan First District), who is the highest ranking veteran to ever serve in Congress.
The special recognition, which has been awarded since 1789, entitles Maureen to receive a proclamation noting her accomplishments, and will be placed in the US Library of Congress for perpetuity.
A special medal in recognition of Maureen's 'Laudable Actions' was placed on her lapel and there was music and poetry performed for Mayo's D-Day heroine.
Speaking in a recorded interview with her grandson Fergus Sweeney in 2014, Maureen said: "Eisenhower was making up his mind about whether to enter France or not. He was very divided but when he saw the report from Blacksod Point it confirmed he made the right decision.
Fergus Sweeney
"That report was sent from here on the 3rd June and the following morning there was a query at around 11 o'clock. And then was a second query. A lady with a distinct English accent requested me to 'Please Check. Please Repeat!' We began to look at the figures again. We checked and rechecked and the figures were the same both times so we were happy enough then".
Maureen added with pride, "they relied on our weather forecast. It’s something you’ll remember for a lifetime."
It was well over a decade before Maureen Sweeney and her family learned how that weather report helped turned the tide of World War II.

HARVESTING is taking place at a very rapid pace at present, all want job finished while weather is suitable. Land that received reduced fertiliser, is noticeable, in crop reduction. The government is dragging their heels and shortly half the year is gone and little meaningful actions to encourage maximum home forage production. Conference on global warming will encourage reduced crop production and leave the vulnerable to die of malnourishment or reduce population by other means.
OLDER People and the government services, many who use the pen and paper are feeling vulnerable, when dealing with government departments. Isolation and abandonment, is the general feeling of people who use traditional means of contact, when things are delayed or left without reply, they can always blame foreign recruits.

Two Day EEC Meeting End
PARIS-The meeting of the heads of the EEC governments ended here with the announcement of a number of major decisions, among them the fixing of a Regional Fund of £542 million, the abolition of the right of veto on the Council of Ministers and its replacement by what is called a "qualified majority," direct elections to the European Parliament by 1978—and a plan to hold another "summit" meeting before the end of March next, this time in Dublin. Although some reservations were expressed on these decisions, and although agreement on the Fund came as something of an anti-climax after all the months of discussion, the talks ended amid cautious optimism on future economic co-operation among the Nine. The summit ended shortly before 11:00 o'clock Wed. and the French President, M. Giscard D'Estaing, who presided, read out the statement from the heads of government. He said that the talks have provided for other such meetings to be held three times a year and, if necessary, more often. Foreign Ministers will also meet along with heads of State. The aim of the meetings is eventual political co-ordination. The right of veto on the Council of Ministers is to be replaced by a "qualified majority"-in other words, it is hoped gradually to move away from the need for total unanimity at Council meetings. This means, of course, that the right of veto could no longer be used as a threat by any member country which feels it has a grievance. When plans were being made for the summit that has just ended, Ireland and Italy, worried over the delay in setting up the Regional Fund, threatened to veto the talks unless a decision was reached on regional aid. Another proposal arising from the two-day meeting was to have a plan for direct elections to the European Parliament ready by 1976, and to apply the direct voting system in 1978. The British and the Danes expressed reservations about this proposal. A working group was set up to establish possible union between the Nine on passports and to have a uniform passport for EEC countries with the general intention of establishing a "European Union." The summit statement also reaffirmed the aim of economic and monetary union. It was agreed that economic policies of the Nine should converge with the aim of preventing economic recession and restoring stability. Particular emphasis was placed on the German intention to adopt in a short time the re-launching of private and public investment. CONSULTATION On employment, there is to be consultation between the member countries and the social partners such as the trade unions in the various countries. The Ministers of Labour will be meeting in the near future. In regard to energy, the statement expressed the need for greater co-operation between importing and exporting countries. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr. FitzGerald, said afterwards that the' summit had been significant on four particular counts; the adoption of a regional policy; the decision of the Germans to reflate their economy; the overcoming of the first obstacle in the efforts to ensure that British re-negotiation of terms will keep her in the community, and, finally, the improvement indicated by the French Government in American-French relations, which should provide for greater solidarity and a better chance of dealing with the Arabs on oil resources. SIGNIFICANCE The Taoiseach, Mr. Cosgrave, said that the significance of the German decision to reflate the economy could only be realised if we appreciated the fact that the German surplus of balance of payment was equivalent to the deficit of all the member countries.

By the time RTS,S was approved, vaccines for another global killer, Covid-19, had already been developed and authorized around the world—less than two years after the virus emerged.
The apparent disparities have frustrated some researchers in sub-Saharan Africa. “If the same energy and resources were directed towards malaria vaccine development as has been the case for Covid-19, then malaria could be eradicated,” wrote Damaris Matoke-Muhia, a scientist at the Kenya Medical Research Institute, in an essay for the global development site SciDev.Net last August. (At the time, she noted, malaria was killing more people on the continent than Covid-19.)

T S Eliot; By Angelica Frey
When the inaugural issue of the prestigious literary magazine Criterion hit shelves in October 1922, it included a 434-line-long poem by a little-known American author who spent his days as a banker at Lloyd's. T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, with its cacophony and bleakness, encapsulated in verse the spirit of modernism, much like Stravinsky had in music with Rite of Spring in 1913.

TG4; 22/06 @ 21:30- Investigative journalist Kevin Magee uncovers the work of Nazi party member and Irish scholar Dr. Ludwig Mühlhausen. Mühlhausen spent six weeks in the Gaeltacht hamlet of Teileann in South Donegal in 1937 collecting folklore and improving his Ulster Irish, but that was not the only work he carried out while he was there. As Kevin reveals, in reality he was working as a Nazi spy, gathering information and passing it on to the Third Reich.

COVID-19 and Physical Activity; While the pandemic created universal, widespread lockdowns, research “conducted all over the world on cohorts of patients with COVID-19 have shown that the risk of being severely affected by this potentially deadly virus varies considerably. For instance, frail elderly people initially represented a large segment of patients with COVID-19 who died. However, further analyses revealed that people with obesity and other chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, were at greater risk of severe COVID-19 and death than individuals of a normal weight without comorbidities.”
Research has shown that not only does obesity put someone at much greater risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes, but so does a lack of physical activity. Among those who became infected, the sedentary were more than twice as likely to be hospitalized, 73% more likely to be placed in intensive care, and 2.5 times more likely to die from the disease as compared to those who got at least 150 minutes of exercise a week.

FARMER: Wendell Berry is a farmer who doesn’t own a TV or computer, and he farms with horses rather than heavy machinery. He’s also a writer who is inspiring a revolution against an economic system that is built on waste and exploitation. Here’s why one writer sees him as a model for a new way to live in harmony with the land and each other.
Years ago when I was deciding what to study in college, one of the dominant thoughts was this: I want to make enough money that I never have to do my own yard work. I settled on mechanical engineering. And soon, instead of making money mowing lawns and pulling weeds as I had for most of high school, I was spending my summers sitting at a computer designing things. If that younger me could see my life now — instead of life as an engineer, I’m spending my time teaching science, keeping chickens, and looking forward to getting my hands dirty in the garden — he would be horrified.

He did not now that a, treasure lay within it, for the men in Dublin who probe the secrets of Ireland's story before books were written Eamon lifted the bog-oak. To his surprise it was a box.

NEW HORIZONS for the Parish. In light of a need for more accountable structures indicated by the diocese, the Parish Societies need to be reviewed. Because of this and various happenings in the Parish (Covid/change of Parish administration etc.), I invited feedback in February.
It does not serve much purpose to go through the different perspectives in detail but what in general emerged was a desire for a return to “normality”, concern to re-engage those who have moved away, a need to better include youth of different stands (altar servers, choirs etc.) Other items included some need for more extended newsletters, better Mass times, Church maintenance (current and future), adult education (retreats/lectures/seminars), a retirement village.
Parish representation mainly through the Pastoral Council and Finance Committee is appreciated but included a strong call for renewal. This pivoted on the need for regular replacement of members in the interest of vitality and better inclusion. For this, various people were proposed.
As a follow up and initial step, the pastoral council and finance committee will soon be reframed as the Parish looks ahead.

LABOUR and Farmers 100 years ago. In County Kerry, labour organisations turned to co-operative principles to secure the economic interests of their members. In November 1918, The Irish Homestead reported the establishment of a workers’ co-operative store in Tralee. The following January, the ITGWU established another co-operative store in the market town of Listowel ‘for the benefit of the workers’. Located in Kerry’s most urbanised areas, these stores reflected the ITGWU’s desire to use co-operative methods to benefit the local consumers, the same group from which the trade union’s members were drawn. The IAOS exhibited an uneasy relationship with organised labour. By May 1919, antagonisms between co-operators and the trade union movement emerged. AE hoped that workers continued to establish co-operative societies, but grew anxious about their autonomy from the IAOS’s authority. AE suggested that trade unions might be better served through incorporation into the IAOS. He wondered if: trade union leaders would communicate with the Irish Agricultural Organisation Society, so that investigation may be made, and it may be seen whether labour would be better advantaged by coming in with farmers in starting a single strong society catering for both.68Such collaboration never occurred, which confirmed a distance between co-operating farmers and organised labour. Rural labourers looked to the ITGWU for leadership, whilst the IAOS represented landowning farmers. This reflected the inability of the IAOS to make significant progress into towns. The IAOS ceded influence over urban interests to a mixture of private industry, commercial interests and trade unions. This situation confirmed the IAOS’s reputation as a rural producers’ organisation. The

ITALY is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and we started in the mountains of the north, traveled through the heartland, along the Adriatic Coast, and all the way to Rome. We visited Milan, Pavia, Florence, Siena, Assisi, Loreto, Manoppello, Lanciano, Padre Pio’s San Giovanni Rotondo, and ended in Rome, with wine tasting, cooking classes, special guides like art historian, Liz Lev, and visits to amazing churches and shrines along the way

May 16 to 20th marks Dementia Awareness Week; a campaign of huge importance as not enough is understood about vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s or other similar diseases of the brain.
Last year, the Baring Foundation commissioned a consultation with care homes entitled ‘Arts and Culture in Every Care Home?’ . This was a national call to arms, promoting the importance of a daily cultural or arts offer for elders in care homes, including people living with dementia.
================================
KILMORNA Forest Many bird species occur in the Kilmorna Forest but most of these are shy and secretive, and occur at low densities. Fruit and insect-eating birds often move around in mixed-species groups, particularly in the dry winter months when they are not breeding. This explains why it is possible to walk for long periods and see no birds, then suddenly be confronted with a whole mob. Birdwatching in any forest is always a challenge, however, as birds will hear you coming long before you see them, and they hide among shadows on the forest floor or move directly overhead in the leafy canopy. The garden around the manor provides the best birdwatching opportunities as forest-dwelling species come to the fringes. Ten of the ‘specials’ including Narina Trogon and Olive Woodpecker – are featured in our Star Birds chart and a full bird checklist is available. African Crowned Eagle may sometimes be seen soaring above the forest, while Knysna and Purple-crested Turacos (louries) feed on the Wild-plum and other fruits.

Bishops in New Jersey are speaking out after Governor Phil Murphy’s proposal to expand abortion access in the state.
The Senate is expected to pass a Ukraine aid package on Thursday.
====================================
PRAYER TO ST. ROCH: O Blessed St. Roch, Patron of the sick, have pity on those who lie upon a bed of suffering. Your power was so great when you were in this world, that by the sign of the Cross many were healed of their diseases. Now you are in Heaven your power is no less. Offer to God our sighs and tears and obtain for us the physical, mental. and spiritual health we seek. This we ask though Christ our Lord. Amen. St. Roch pray for us, that we may be preserved
from all diseases of body and Soul.
WORD: Life is made up of getting and giving – forgetting and forgiving.
------------------------------------
Take Time
Take time to think, it is the source of all power. Take time to play, it is the
secret of perpetual youth. Take time to read, it is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to pray, it is the greatest power on earth. Take time to love and
be loved, it is a God given privilege. Take time to be friendly, it is the road to
happiness. Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul. Take time to give,
it is too short a day to be selfish. Take time to work, it is the price of success.
Take time to do charity, it is the key to Heaven.
--------------------------------
POPE FRANCIS ON SUNDAY’S GOSPEL: “The Gospel reading for this Sixth Sunday of Easter presents a passage of the discourse that Jesus addressed to the Apostles at the Last Supper. Today the Lord invites us to open our heart to the gift of the Holy Spirit, so that he may guide us on the paths of history. Day by day, he teaches us the logic of the Gospel, the logic of welcoming love, by ‘teaching us all things’ and reminding us ‘of all the Lord has said to us’. May Mary, whom in this month of May we venerate as our heavenly mother, always protect us all. May she who, with humble and courageous faith, fully cooperated with the Holy Spirit, help us too to allow ourselves to be taught and guided by the Paraclete, so that we may welcome the Word of God and witness to it with our lives.
------------------------------------
Prayer
I put before Him the crowded day,
I try to hear what his voice will say.
If others are right and I am wrong,
am I the weak or are they the strong ?
I place my thoughts and feelings o’re,
as I gaze upon the little Golden Door.
Today dear Lord I may forget you.
Please do not forget me.
Jesus and Mary I always pray,
ever be with me on my way.
Lord, help me to remember that nothing
is going to happen in my life today,
that you and I won’t handle together.

FERTILIZER: The biggest buyer of Russian fertilizer is Brazil, which imports about a quarter of all its fertilizer from Russia. Earlier this year, with Russian troops gathering at the Ukrainian border, President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil posed for photos with Mr. Putin in the Kremlin. At the meeting, a week before the invasion, Mr. Bolsonaro said Brazil stood “in solidarity with Russia.” On the same trip, he said Brazil would double its purchases of Russian fertilizers.
After the invasion began, Mr. Bolsonaro said Brazil would remain neutral, and made clear why. “What happens 10,000 kilometers away in Ukraine has reverberations in Brazil,” he said. “We have special business with Russia.”
“For us,” he added, “the question of fertilizers is sacred.”

AMAZING Life of Pauline Jaricot
Pauline Jaricot, who was declared venerable in 1963, was born in Lyon a decade after the French Revolution, on July 22, 1799. She was the youngest of seven children of Antoine and Jeanne Jaricot.
Antoine was the owner of a silk factory, so Pauline was expected to live her life in the bourgeoisie. So at 15 she was made her debut in Lyon’s social life of the city. A sermon on vanity made her question that scene.

HIDDEN long-term risks of surgery: ‘It gives people’s brains a hard time’------------------
Cibelli listened as the woman described how her father, a former physics professor, had shown signs of significant cognitive decline after the initial operation. Once a keen chess player, he was now unable to play the game and struggled to even do basic crosswords.
For Cibelli, it was the first time he had encountered what is now termed postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) – cognitive problems associated with surgery that persist well after the effects of anaesthetics have worn off. “I published some articles on the subject,” he says. “And people began finding my email address, saying their father or mother had changed a lot after a surgery in the past. So I began to realise that this wasn’t such an isolated case.”

ITALY: “Liberation Day” in Italy, a holiday that commemorates the liberation of Italy from fascism and the Nazi occupation of the country during the Second World War. It was on April 25, 1945, that the Committee for National Liberation, the main umbrella group for the Italian resistance, called for a nationwide uprising against the fascists and the Germans.

USA: The Biden administration established a program that allows Americans to sponsor Ukrainian refugees and have them temporarily stay in the United States under a system known as humanitarian parole.
The program, called Uniting for Ukraine, is a piece of a larger initiative to temporarily resettle as many as 100,000 Ukrainian refugees, but migrants themselves cannot directly apply. Instead, a sponsor in the United States must apply on their behalf, and then migrants may complete the process after their sponsor is approved.

On the contrary, they took some hard knocks in these years. Bishop Browne's vocational organisation report was shelved.

Kerry I.R.A. Volunteer Dies In Chicago Maurice Walsh, a native of Gaelbridge, Moyvane, Co. Kerry, died on May 14, 1973 at his home in Chicago, Illinois. Maurice was a member of the Derry Co. Listowel Battalion. He took the side of the Republican Movement and opposed the Treaty in 1921. All through his life Maurice remained a true Irishman and supported the fight for a 32 County Free Ireland. It is with sadness that his friends regret his departure from this life. All of us are better Irishmen for having the opportunity to be associated with him. We extend our deepest sympathy to his family in the U.S. and in his native Kerry. Jack Lyons

ENERGY: Four simple changes, such as turning down the thermostat, air-drying laundry, placing a lid on saucepans during cooking and using the dishwasher in eco mode, could save £400 a year.
Sky News analysis of data from consultancy Cambridge Energy shows that those changes would also lead to a drop in carbon emissions by a fifth for heating per household.
News reports say that air source heat pump could reduce your energy bill by £375 per year, it could, in theory, take up to 48 years to pay for itself.

WAR: With the experience of World War I fresh in his mind, Randolph Bourne famously warned that "war is the health of the state." Under stress, he noted, people rally behind the government and lash out at dissenters. Since then, we've learned that freedom lost in times of crisis is rarely fully regained after life settles down. War isn't always avoidable; Ukrainians had no choice but to fight or capitulate when Russian forces invaded. But, no matter whether Russia or Ukraine ultimately prevail, the logic of conflict inevitably makes a victim of individual liberty.

The two leaders hit it off, and not just because of their legendary macho bravado. Mr. Putin, a former K.G.B. agent who had been based in Dresden, spoke fluent German and grew up poor, like Mr. Schröder, whose mother was a cleaner who brought up five children on her own.

The World Bank says the war in Ukraine is set to cause the "largest commodity shock" since the 1970s - meaning huge price rises for goods ranging from natural gas to wheat and cotton.
The increases will affect the poorest most, but households and business of all sizes will feel the effects.
Wheat is predicted to go up in price by almost 43% and reach new highs, chicken could go up nearly 42%, soybeans 20% and oil 30%.

WAR: During the war, airmen in the 100th Bomb Group could finish their combat service and return home after flying 25 missions. Yet with a 1 in 10 chance of becoming a casualty, few were able to reach this milestone. Lucky was one of the, well, lucky few who did, and Kevin traces how he got there, from trying to join the Royal Canadian Air Force as a teenager, to learning to fly the B-17 on the job, to his harrowing daylight bombing missions over Germany, to the life he made for himself after the war. Along the way, Kevin describes the brutal conditions inside a B-17 and the bomber’s role in winning the war.

In fact, studies suggest that as much as 50% of all groceries are sold because of impulsiveness – and over 87% of shoppers make impulse buys.

The Irish People 1984-10-13 Irish People
1984-10-13 Irish People page8-9
WITH THE SPLIT in the Irish Volunteers at the outbreak of the First World War, about 170,000 men followed Irish Parliamentary Party leader John Redmond into the National Volunteers and, from there, into the trenches of Europe. A minority of Volunteers, about 11,000, rejected Redmond's assertion that Irish freedom could be won on the battlefields of Europe but were themselves divided on the type of freedom they wanted and how it should be achieved. When a decision was taken to stage an armed uprising at Easter 1916, it was taken by a small minority within the depleted Irish Volunteers. • Neither Eoin MacNeill, who was nominal head of the Volunteers, nor people like Arthur Griffith, were consulted about the rising. Similarly, they were told nothing of a decision taken by the same conspiratorial group of IRB officers within the Volunteers to import arms for this rebellion. MANDATE Without any electoral mandate from the Irish people, most of whom supported Redmond, and without the say-so of the Volunteer movement to which they belonged, this group of IRB men proceeded with their plans and contacted John Devoy in America at the beginning of February 1916. They claimed their mandate from the inalienable right of an oppressed people to rise against their oppressors with arms. Since Devoy was the leader of Clan na Gael, the Irish support group in America, he was told about the rising and about the need for arms which, he was advised, 'should be sent to Limerick Quay between April 20th and 23rd 1916'. But, as Devoy pointed out in his Recollections of this period: "This request to 'send a shipment of arms' was, of course, intended to be transmitted to Germany, the men in Ireland knew that all funds in the possession of the Clan na Gael had been sent to them and that consequently we in the United States were unable to purchase such armaments as they required." And he added: "Even if we held special funds for that purpose, it would be practically impossible to load and clear such a cargo in face of Wilson's (US President Woodrow Wilson) Secret Service, which was watching us very keenly and was in closest touch with the English, communicating to them everything/ even of the slightest importance. " EMBASSY Through the German Embassy in the United States, Devoy contacted the German War Staff and within days they replied: "It is possible to send two or three small fishing steamers with about ten machine guns, twenty thousand rifles, ammunition and explosives to Fenit Pier in Tralee Bay. Irish pilots should wait north of Inishtooskert Island from before dawn of April 20th, displaying at intervals three green lights. Disembarkation must be effected immediately. Let us know if this can be done." The Germans had clearly expected an appeal for weapons from Ireland. On November 8th 1915 the German Admiralty had discussed the possibility of such a shipment only to reject the idea on the grounds that it would endanger submarines. But by March 1916 the opinion of the Admiralty was changed by the German War Staff, who saw the potential advantages in a widespread Irish uprising against British rule. EXAGGERATED This change of mind was also prompted by some 'misleading' information supplied to the Germans by the IRB. While the strength of British troops and RIC in Ireland was estimated at 40,000, the strength of Irish forces was grossly exaggerated. Besides claiming the allegiance of 40,000 Irish Volunteers, they 'anticipated' that 50,000 Red- mondite Volunteers would join the rebellion and that it was 'probable' that thousands of unorganised Irishmen would also join an uprising. On the basis of this report, the IRB asked for 25,000- 50,000 rifles, a proportionate number of machine guns and field artillery as well as a number of officers. The report optimistically concluded that 'even for 100,000 rifles the necessary number of men would be obtainable'. By March 17th, the German Admiralty had agreed to the shipment to Tralee Bay but had decided that a single small steamer, rather than three trawlers, would be used to ferry the weapons.

North Kerry and Kerry Selected match in Listowel--------------------------
Shortly after the advertised time, the teams were set in motion and from the throw-In North Kerry pressed strongly, but were unable to penetrate the sound defense of the opposing back division. Give and take play followed, and North Kerry, who appeared to be the better trained combination, took the lead and the short whistle found them leading by four points to nil. On resumption the Kerry selected team showed up to better advantage, but were unable to cope with the sustained rushes of their opponents, who were ably led by the indomitable Con Brosnan. ' Towards the finish play lacked somewhat in vigour and interest When the final whistle sounded the score stood: North Kerry, 7 points (and the disputed goal); Kerry Selected, nil. For the winners. Brosnan, Mahony, Stack, Kearns, O'Sullivan and Walsh were most prominent, while for the losers Barrett. Moriarty and Landers gave an able exhibition of the Gaelic Code. The match was referred by Tom Costelloe, one of the old Kerry champions, and gave admirable satisfaction.

TITANIC: When the Titanic set out on her maiden voyage in 1912, she was the largest vessel in the world with a passenger capacity of 2,435. The RMS Titanic sank in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean, four days into her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. Those who had escaped the Titanic watched helplessly from the lifeboats as the figures on deck grew ever dimmer and the sounds of hymns and prayers now mingled with wailing.
Noting the first incursions of dark waters upon the deck, the priest made himself as visible as he could before those assembled and then proceeded to raise his hand in one last act of blessing and absolution. Then, with his crucifix and rosary and in his hand, Father Byles began once more to lead those gathered around him in the recitation of that ancient prayer as the band continued to play.
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
Hold … Thy cross before my closing eyes …
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

BISHOP of Limerick; “We imagine the plight and trauma of families, mothers and children. Young adults realise young people of their age, men and women, have been called to war. We all feel threatened by how war can so easily escalate in a way we’d have never foreseen possible in Europe.”
Bishop Leahy, however, urged young people to open up to issues, not least of they are feeling anxious and said we need look no further than US Masters champion Scottie Scheffler in how he overcame the weight of the pressure he felt on Sunday morning.
The Bishop of Limerick said in conclusion that Scheffler “spoke about being almost overwhelmed the morning of the final round, breaking down in tears, talking about not being ready ‘for this’. Like so many of us he turned to an ally for support, his wife Meredith, who asked, ‘who are you to say you are not ready’. They then talked about God’s will. ‘God is in control and the Lord is leading me. And if today is my time, then it’s my time’, he said. Peace and calm can come in troubled waters if you put your faith in those closest to you and in God.”

NURSING: While wounded in battle in 1898, Edward Baker wished for nursing on the battlefield. Nine years later, he founded a group that would do just that: the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY). He recruited young British women who could ride and owned horses, and the group soon came into being. FANYs received international attention. In 1909 an American newspaper, the Statesman Journal, described the group as “well nigh revolutionary … the idea is that the women shall care for the wounded as they fall and shall practically enter the area of the fight.” FANYs did see their fair share of action as they served valiantly in World War I, facing Zeppelin raids, vehicle problems, shellfire, death, and disease. At first unaccepted by their home country, FANYs provided help elsewhere, for the Belgian and French armies, setting up hospitals and serving on battlefields. The British didn’t utilise their services until January 1, 1916.

County Kerry Farmers Raise Hell Holidaymakers in Ballybunion, Co. Kerry, could find that they are sharing their stretch of beach with tractors and trailers this summer if the area's angry farmers' demands are not met. They are looking for action from the Minister for Industry and Commerce on the question of removal of material—sand gravel and seaweed—which they hold they have a right to. For some time now the farmers have been fighting for the right to remove material from the foreshore but the campaign came to a head last week when farmers drove en masse to the strand to load up their trailers. After loading up, the farmers drove at a crawl through Ballybunion causing a serious traffic hold up. An order made by the Minister for Industry and Commerce in 1932 and updated in 1950 permits tractor owners residing in North Kerry and the parish of Athea, Co. Limerick, to remove only sand and seaweed from the foreshore between October 1 and June 1, but not the remainder of the year. The threat of the beach takeover during the summer was made by the farmers' chairman, Michael Griffin: "If they try to keep us out we will go there and take over the strand instead of the visitors. "We feel it is up to the Minister to become involved and we feel we have a right there. Seventy years ago they tried to close the beach to us and also forty years ago, when three men went to jail over the matter."

IRISH NATIONAL IMMIGRATION Statement of John P. Collins, National Chairman of the American Irish National Immigration Committee delivered before Subcommittee No. 1 - Immigration and Nationality of the Judiciary Committee, United States House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. Mr. Chairman, Members of the Congress: First, I take the liberty, Mr. Chairman to congratulate you on your appointment as Chairman of Subcommittee No. 1. Your succession to the Chair of your distinguished predecessor is a well deserved appointment. I represent today, the American Irish Immigration Committee, a national group with chapters in thirty states, composed of Protestants, Catholics and Jews. Our members are represented in all the major Irish organizations in the United States including the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Gaelic Athletic Association, the Knights of Equity, the American Irish Historical Society, county associations and American Irish clubs and organizations. Our committee directs your attention to H.R. 981, section 9, amending Section 212 (d) (5) (c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, dealing with refugees. We urge its enactment. Only recently, your subcommittee in other hearings, received a detailed report on the happenings in the northern six county area of Ireland, known to us as occupied Ireland. Discrimination, terror; oppression and injustice are the everyday occurrence in this area. We have had occasion to interview residents of this area visiting the U.S. who have been the victims of discrimination in housing, in jobs; who have been the victims of the terror in the area, by reason of their political opinions and their religious persuasion. On the advice of their families, relatives, friends, solicitors, clergymen and yes, even on the advice of certain members of the British Parliament, they have sought to remain in the United States. Returning to occupied Ireland would be foolhardy for them. Fear of their safety demands that they reside elsewhere. These individuals, not yet large in number, have aunts, uncles and cousins in the U.S. Lacking sisters and brothers who are U.S. citizens, they cannot qualify for fifth preference visas. Nor can they meet the requirement of the other family related preferences. The stringent application of labour clearance, makes it impossible for them to qualify for a non-preference, third preference or sixth preference visa. Their only hope is to seek asylum here and obtain status as a refugee. Our nation has always been the haven of the oppressed, yet the United States refuses to grant asylum to one in the predicament that I have just outlined. In January 1972, I communicated with the Immigration and Naturalization Service, in Washington requesting information as to the position of the government on the matter. I received the following reply: "Reference is made to your letter of January 24, 1972, concerning visitors from Northern Ireland who do not desire to return abroad. Detailed instructions have been furnished our local offices for the processing of any alien who does not desire to return to his home country because of fear of persecution due to race, religion or political opinion. Each case of this type is decided on its merits. If you know of anyone who falls within this category, it is suggested that you direct the individual to call at the New York office of this Service at 20 West Broadway in order that their cases may be given consideration. Persons in other parts of the country may present themselves at the nearest local office of the Service having jurisdiction over their location. Sincerely, (Sgd.) James F. Greene Associate Commissioner Operations"

POPE: “An older person, one who has lived a long time, and receives the gift of a lucid and passionate testimony of his history, is an irreplaceable blessing.”
In a personal testimony, Pope Francis recalled learning about his abhorrence and anger at war from his grandfather, who fought on the Piave in 1914.
“He passed on this anger to me,” recalled the Pope, “because he told me about the suffering of a war. And you don’t learn that in books or in other ways… you learn it this way, passing it on from grandparents to grandchildren.”
He went on to say that “today, unfortunately, this is not the case and we think that grandparents are discarded material: no! No! They are the living memory of a people, and young people and children need to hear from their grandparents.”
Wisdom of the elderly
“In our culture, which is so ‘politically correct,’ he noted, “this path seems to be hindered in many ways.”
Therefore, the Pope added, we greatly need the wisdom and experience of the elderly to help new generations know the Church from the inside, to live lives of fidelity to God’s word, to persevere in hope amid trials, and to show compassionate love for all our brothers and sisters.

Desmond Hall an OPW managed site
West Limerick preserves many of Ireland's surviving spacious medieval halls. The Desmond Banqueting Hall is an imposing two-storey structure and was used by the Earls of Desmond for banqueting and entertainment. The Hall, vaulted lower chamber and adjoining tower were all constructed during the 15th century (the hall and chamber were built on the remains of a 13th century structure of similar size). Its restored medieval features include and oak musicians' gallery and a limestone hooded fireplace.
------------------------------
Listowel Castle
Listowel Castle stands on an elevation overlooking the River Feale, above the location of a strategic ford. Although only half of the building survives, it is still one of Kerry’s best examples of Anglo-Norman architecture. Only two of the original four square towers, standing over 15 metres high, remain. The towers are united by a curtain wall of the same height and linked together – unusually – by an arch on one side. Listowel was the last bastion against the forces of Queen Elizabeth in the First Desmond Rebellion in 1569. The castle’s garrison held out for 28 days of siege before finally being overpowered by Sir Charles Wilmot. In the days following the castle’s fall, Wilmot executed all of the soldiers left inside.

PLASTIC: Researchers took blood samples from anonymous, healthy adults, and looked for plastics that were between 700 and 500,000 nanometers (nm). Seven hundred nm is around 140 times smaller than the width of a human hair, writes The Wire Science’s Aathira Perinchery.
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), commonly used in disposable water bottles, was the most widely encountered plastic polymer and found in about 50 percent of the donors. The second most common, polystyrene (PS), which is used for food packaging and polystyrene foam, was found in about 36 percent, per the study.

INFLAMMATION: “Chemotherapy and radiation are like sledgehammers,” Panigrahy says. “They may kill the tumour, but the debris they create stimulates inflammation, which feeds circulating tumour cells that survive the treatment.”
A decade ago, Panigrahy was puzzling over this conundrum when he met Serhan at a conference on lipids in Cancún, Mexico. “I had just presented my research on cell death in cancer and how there’s no way to clear the resulting debris when I heard Serhan’s talk about how he discovered these lipids that eliminated debris,” he says. The two Boston-based researchers have shared a close collaboration ever since.

EQUINOX: what happens during the spring equinox? In simple terms, the spring equinox is when the Sun crosses the celestial equator (an imaginary line in the sky above Earth’s equator), going from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere. As the Sun is exactly above the equator, both the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere receive nearly equal amounts of the Sun’s rays. In other words, the day and night are (almost) equal in both hemispheres.

Belfast, Wednesday.—An ex-member of the R.I.C. and R.U C. was sent to prison for two months at the Northern Winter Assizes at Downpatrick, to-day, for a serious offence.

Article By Silas Isenjia- Addis Ababa, 13 March, 2022 / 11:00 pm (ACI Africa).
Members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Ethiopia (CBCE) have urged the people of God in the Horn of Africa nation to put an end to war to save the country from perishing.
In their Tuesday, March 8 statement shared with ACI Africa, CBCE members highlight the role played by the Catholic Church in Ethiopia in an effort to restore peace and say they will continue pushing for peace through prayer and other possible ways deemed necessary.
“If war is not thrown out of Ethiopian history by us Ethiopians, it will be the war to throw out us Ethiopians from history,” Catholic Bishops in Ethiopia say about the ongoing violent conflict that started on 4 November 2020. They call upon parties in the violent conflict to lay down their weapons and to embrace dialogue for a peaceful coexistence saying,
UAE recently announced it would support increased oil production by OPEC in order to counter rising fuel prices due to anti-Putin sanctions, it did so only reluctantly, and Saudi Arabia and several other OPEC members still appear to be sticking to their alliance with Russia, known as OPEC+.
In Africa, it’s become common to hear leaders grumble that while the West appears to be in a full, upright and locked position on stopping the war in Russia, large-scale conflicts raging right now in Ethiopia and Cameroon elicit little more than pious statements of concern.

TAX BILL: A 93-Year-Old Woman Couldn't Pay Her $2,300 Tax Bill. The Government Sold Her Home and Kept the Money. By Billy Binion
FARMERS are the modern slaves, they are under the control of countless inspectors and regulators and often producing goods for corporations, who live off their hard work and long hours, making profits in days and weeks on produce that took a great many months to mature. They often interfere with the produce which the farmer produced to a high standard, rendering it less healthy and no regulation to prevent them doing so.
HOARDING: Many are now hoarding food and fuel, causing in the long term waste and inflating prices. It is known, that people who never bake, will take home several packages of flour.
FOOD Waste; About £2.1bn-worth of fresh fruit and vegetables is thrown away in UK homes each year because it has gone soft, mouldy or is out of date.
How fresh produce is stored is key to its fate, and if you stow it in your fridge you will buy yourself more time. Apples, for example, can last for more than 100 days, much longer than in a fruit bowl.
“In my house the only things that are in the fruit bowl are bananas,” says Helen White, a special adviser for household food waste at the sustainability charity Wrap.
DANNY Healy Rae TD is calling on the government to open up the two Bord Na Mona power plants, Lanesboro and Shannon Bridge immediately. New homes without chimneys also.
TAX in USA: high-income earners had one-third the odds of an audit compared with their low-income counterparts. Only 4.5 out of every 1,000 returns of the $200,000-to-$1 million bracket were audited, compared to 13 out of every 1,000 returns of the lowest-income bracket.

WAR: A European dream shattered is a time of action for all of us’ – Bishop Leahy
In his homily for the first Sunday of Lent, Bishop Leahy highlighted the large-scale disruption to the “European dream” caused by the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The Bishop of Limerick said, “When a dream is shattered, there is grief. Europe’s dream has been shattered with the war in the Ukraine. 75 years after the Second World War we had hoped the great dream of a Europe at peace had really taken hold. But that dream has been shattered.

Described as “the most significant environmental multilateral deal since the Paris accord,” the nations agreed to employ a legally-binding plastics treaty by 2024 that will set out clear rules on plastic waste around the world. It will, in part, include ensuring a circular economy for plastic materials.

Advocate- SATURDAY, OCT. 9 1925 or 26
New York NY Irish American Advocate 1925-1927 - 0842.pdf
"The O'Mahony" (Pierce Mahony), who formerly resided at Kilmorna, Listowel, Is not in favor of the new movement recently launched by Capt. Redmond and Tom O'Donnell at Waterford. In a letter, The O'Mahony, writing from Coolballintaggart, Aughrim, says: "As a very old member of the Irish Party I wish to dissociate myself from the unfortunate and, to my mind unfair attitude adopted by my old friend, Captain Redmond, and by Mr. T. O'Donnell at the Waterford meeting. So long as the present Government continues to act as fairly as it has hitherto done, my support, though of little value, will be given to President Cosgrave and the existing Government.
"Ireland is not responsible for the Free State and Northern Ireland, the division of Ireland was made by the most corrupt British Government since the days of Pitt. Ireland, to her credit, was responsible for the agreement arrived at between the Free State and Northern Ireland—an agreement that will lead to a great future, though I cannot hope to see it during my life on earth." In the course of his letter The O'Mahony, who was one of the Parnellite members of Parliament and who became a B. L. after his defeat following the Parnellite split, also says: "I have been a supporter of Sinn Fein. I stood for West Wicklow in 1918 as an old member of the Parliamentary Party and was, in common with other members of that Party, defeated. I took no further part in politics until the Black-and-Tans were let loose on the country. I then seized every opportunity of calling attention to their misdeeds, until sad events in Kerry, the murder of my brother Sir Arthur Vicars, and the burning of my sister's house at Kilmorna, In which Sir Arthur and his wife were temporarily residing, made me cease from all public action of any kind, and this continued during all the horrid years when the British soldiers and the Irish were murdering one another. "When the Treaty was made I said 'Thank God.' I can never forget the cruel opposition to the Treaty, nor the noble stand made and the number of lives laid down in defence of it. Nor can I forget the generous manner in which those of the old Unionist Party who have remained In Ireland have been treated. "Many countries in Europe have gained freedom by the war. In how many has freedom produced greater results than In Ireland? In how many has the Government been able to settle down to work?

SHROUD: What aspect of the exhibition intrigued you most?
In researching the shroud, I was fascinated by the people who encountered it. Most of the millions who have seen it since the 14th century remain anonymous, but from very early on, pilgrims purchased badges to show that they had seen the shroud. One of these badges was found in the River Seine in the 19th century during the construction of a bridge; it now rests in the Cluny Museum in Paris. In 2009, near Machy, France, someone discovered a mould for the mass production of a similar badge; together they hint at the shroud’s importance as a pilgrimage destination in the late 14th century.
Of course, many famous people have seen the shroud, too. St. Charles Borromeo and St. Francis de Sales touched the shroud; St. John Bosco brought his “street kids” to see it on display. King Francis I of France gave thanks for a military victory in front of the shroud. Margaret of Austria, the daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I and aunt of his successor, Charles V, had seen it when she was married to the duke of Savoy and had a copy of it in her palace at Mechelen. King Victor Emmanuel II married his first wife in the presence of the shroud.
-----------------------------
MOTHERS: Every question is on the table, it would seem, except the existential one: might four-year-olds just need their mothers far more than a classroom? After all, in the family, you best can guarantee that the caretaker will be eminently more invested in the flourishing of the child than anyone for hire. This is quality control at its finest.
The time, money, careers, and energy devoted to the good of a social program can lead us to overlook what is most obvious. Social engineers are often unable to account for what is unmeasurable. We’ve seen mountains of data to show how much a child suffers without his father. Vast and varied goods are also lost in extended, regular separation of a young child from his mother, and those goods are hard to make up for by rejiggering a worksheet.

ADVICE: 68 Bits of Unsolicited Advice
Second Order Risk The Essential Workshop Tool Kit
It’s my birthday. I’m 68. I feel like pulling up a rocking chair and dispensing advice to the young ‘uns. Here are 68 pithy bits of unsolicited advice which I offer as my birthday present to all of you.
(For my 69th birthday I made another batch.)
• Learn how to learn from those you disagree with, or even offend you. See if you can find the truth in what they believe.
• Being enthusiastic is worth 25 IQ points.
• Always demand a deadline. A deadline weeds out the extraneous and the ordinary. It prevents you from trying to make it perfect, so you have to make it different. Different is better.

CURLING STONE: Did you know that all the curling stones used at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics are made on the tiny uninhabited island of Ailsa Craig, off the coast of Scotland?
Kays Curling's workshop in Mauchline, Ayrshire, has been making curling stones for the Winter Olympics since the Chamonix Games in 1924. The Ailsa Craig granite, hewn from a quarry on the island, is some of the hardest and purest in the world, making it perfect for the wet, icy surface curling is played on.

Tickets for the dinner dance are on sale. Tom O’Sullivan is only the fifth Irishman to win the Supreme Championship, the most coveted trophy in sheepdog trialling since it began in 1947 and will be attending.
OLYMPICS: Chinese President Xi Jinping has vowed a more “green, inclusive, open and corruption-free” Winter Olympics. Organizers say all venues use renewable energy—primarily solar and wind—to minimize their carbon footprint, with some using a natural carbon dioxide refrigeration system to keep ice rinks frozen. Beijing has also planted tens of thousands of trees in an attempt to offset some of the emissions from the Games.
However, hosting an athletic contest based on snow and ice in a city where the average temperature does not drop below freezing, and which faces chronic water scarcity, is at odds with that goal, critics say.

KERRY— A Klondyke Millionaire-— Mr Patrick Galvin, one of Klondyke's millionaires, has arrived in Listowel, whence he emigrated over twenty years ago to America, and where he experienced varying fortunes until he struck for Klondyke, where he became immensely rich. He refused £200,000 for some land he owns there and sold one of his claims for £20,000 before starting for Ireland. His account of the journey from the new gold country is most interesting. Mr Galvin, who was accompanied by his wife, travelled by the Dalton trail and had to tramp 374 miles, and Mrs Gaivin had to walk 150 miles during the journey. When starting from Klondyke they had eleven pack horses, and at the journey's end they had but four. The provision's too, ran scarce, and they had to subsist on flour and water for a considerable time.

MINING NOTES. story from Queenstown
-Patrick Galvin, his wife, and sister have reached here from Klondyke, having travelled from Now York by the Canard Liner Lucania He is described as the 'Irish Millionaire,' and is possessed of immense wealth He says he declined an offer of £200,000 made to him before Leaving Klondyke for the purchase of some land there, and that be disposed of one of his claims for £20,000 when coming over here to spend the winter with the old people in County Kerry His party travelled by the Dalton trail They started with eleven pack horses and arrived with four Galvin walked 574 miles and his wife 150 miles of the journey Their provisions ran low, and they were compelled to live on flour and water, which he described as being most sustaining and nourishing Speaking of the climate, be said nobody need be afraid of it, for although he had seen a temperature registered of 87° below zero, the climate on the whole is clear and healthy, and the weather from April to June is the finest be ever saw He emigrated to Klondyke four years ago a poor man, and now returns to his native land a rich one He brings a large nugget of gold, which he is exhibiting, for his father in Listowel, County Kerry
MORE: Pat Galvin- Galvin was a one-time town marshal from Helena, Montana who sought fame once he had found his fortune in gold. Galvin spent his gold freely on everyone, and it was said that he was good for two thousand dollars a night in the various Dawson saloons. The free-spending Galvin sunk the profits of his Bonanza claim into a steamboat company which failed miserably. An even heavier millstone around Galvin's neck was his financial manager, who embezzled forty thousand dollars and, when forgiven by Galvin, promptly forged a cheque and set out for South Africa. Upon learning of the defection, Galvin merely said "he was a good fellow."

FROZEN: In natural, permanently frozen habitats, some organisms may be preserved for hundreds to tens of thousands of years. For example, stems of Antarctic moss were successfully regrown from an over millennium-old sample covered by ice for about 400 years 1
. Likewise, whole campion plants were regenerated from seed tissue preserved in relict 32,000-year-old permafrost 2
, and nematodes were revived from the permafrost of two localities in northeastern Siberia, with source sediments dated over 30,000 years BP 3
. Bdelloid rotifers, microscopic multicellular animals, are known for their ability to survive extremely low temperatures 4

No proper education available to the public to minimise their carbon footprint and still live healthy lives, the last generations, were thankful when they had a bag of flour in the corner and supplied all the other needs of life organically.

BOOK: Rick Hanson’s Hardwiring Happiness. Hanson makes the case that many of our mood disorders are caused by disordered thinking. We have a tendency to focus on the negative; depressed human’s focus on the negative. In Hardwiring Happiness, Dr. Hanson gives readers a meditative practice that helps individuals “rewire” their brains so that they’re more receptive to the positive in their lives. You do that “rewiring” by noticing and really soaking in the positive experiences of the day.

HISTORY 1922; Link to upcoming Cumann na mBan, the Anglo-Irish Treaty and the Split, 1922; A symposium on 25th February 2022 at 2pm. You need to register. This is the registration link.
https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_e0PHer0hS8aXH5T__gSCrQ
On February 5th, 1922, the Cumann na mBan convention was held in Dublin to consider its response to the Anglo-Irish Treaty. The executive of the organisation had already rejected the Treaty, as had all six women TDs. Cumann na mBan was the first major militant organisation to meet on the treaty, and the first to publicly split. Out of that split came an anti-Treaty Cumann na mBan who were actively militant during the Civil War, and a pro Treaty women’s organisation, Cumann na Saoirse, founded to support the Cumann na nGaedheal Government and the Irish Free State army. This symposium considers the important discussions, debates, impacts and legacies of that split, for political women and for women, more broadly, in the Free State.
MEETING OF LABOURERS AT NEWTOWNSANDES.
Kerry Sentinel 1878-1916, Saturday, February 25, 1899; Page: 4
In response to a circular posted extensively through the district a public meeting was held in Newtownsandes on Sunday last by the labourers and artisans of Leitrim, Newtownsandes, and Knockanure districts of Listowel Union, to consider their positions in the coming elections.
Mr. Thomas Mulvihill (Mason) proposed and was seconded by Mr. John Nolan (Carpenter), that Mr. Thos Hanrahan take the chair.
The Chairman dwelt at considerable length (being applauded at intervals) on the great boon conferred on them by the Local Government Act, and asked those present to select good men to represent their interests in the District and County Council’s.
After a general discussion the following resolutions were adopted.
Proposed by John Collins and seconded by Michael Kennelly—" That we, the labourers of Newtownsandes, Leitrim and Knockanure districts, request the voters (farmers and others) to support one labour candidate for each electoral division of the Listowel Union. As the labourers stood by the farmers during the agitation they are now entitled to recognition for such services."
Proposed by Mr John Dore, and seconded Mr. Michael Donovan" That Mr. Michael J. Nolan be selected a candidate to represent us in the County Council, the selection of District Councillors for above divisions be deferred until next Sunday."
Mr Nolan then came forward and thanked the meeting. Speaking at some length, he said it was unnecessary for him to explain his opinions or politics to those who knew him from his childhood. He promised, if elected, to support the labourers and artisans to the best of his ability.
There being no other candidate proposed, Mr. Michael J. Nolan was selected amidst cheers, after which the following resolution proposed by Mr. Thos. Mulvihill, and seconded by Mr. Mathew Behane" That, we, the labourers of this district, ask our brother labourers all over the Tarbert County Council District to vote for Mr. M. J. Nolan, for County Councillor. He being a kind friend, a supporter and large employer of the labourers, and those living under him speak highly of his treatment of them."

WIND FARMS: So more work is obviously needed, particularly in other areas where offshore wind farms are planned. The ecosystems that the North Sea support are obviously different from those in other oceans. Just how the platforms will change ecosystems in other parts of the world isn’t clear.
But this study shows for the first time that offshore wind farms are changing our oceans. Clearly, we need to know more about how this will happen.

100 YEARS AGO: The Empire Exhibition programme of 1928 lists Trade Exhibitors’ stands as advertising pianos, fountain pens, boot polishes, Indian perfumes and various ‘domestic labour saving devices’. Some brands such as Cow & Gate are still household names. Hygiene was a concern 100 years ago (after the Spanish flu pandemic), as our archive reveals: ‘In the interests of public health, the premises will be disinfected daily with IZAL’. Parking was also becoming a concern, and fell under the ‘direct control’ of RAC attendants at a charge of two shillings and six pence.
In all, the 1920s were a period of recovery and rebirth that laid the foundation for significant advancements in the decades to come.

COLUMBAN Sisters; Sr. Susanna Choi, Congregational Leader of the Columban Sisters, addressed the Sisters worldwide, on the beginning of the preparation of their century as Congregation.
Today one hundred years ago in 1922 on the feast of St. Brigid – the beginning of spring, the first small group gathered in St. Brigid’s in Cahiracon, the south west of Ireland to begin an extraordinary venture. Today, one hundred years later, we gather on the feast of St. Brigid in the West, and the beginning of Lunar New Year in the East and we give thanks for all that has happened in those 100 years .We now celebrate and rejoice with grateful hearts in our diversity, beauty and richness as Columban Sisters from East and West, North and South.
FEAST of Saints Cyril and Methodius, patrons of Europe are celebrated on Monday 14th February. They were two Greek brothers who were the first to preach the Gospel to the Slavic tribes of Eastern Europe. Feast of St. Fintan of Clonenagh, Co. Laois is celebrated on Thursday 17th February. He is said to be related to St. Brigid. When the Canons of St. Augustine came to Ireland in 1120, and later to Ratoo, they adopted St. Fintan as their patron.

For us wounded human beings with tendencies toward sin, the Ten Commandments point out very directly and specifically what we, as God’s children, should and should not do. Ted Turner’s view is not only thoughtless, but also foolhardy. Maybe it is just that people with wealth and power refuse to be constrained by anything they think holds them back. But if someone embezzled millions of Turner’s money, I doubt he would stand by and say, “Well, that’s life.”

LORETO Sister in Kenya Shares “biggest, absolute joy” Ahead of Institute’s Centennial Fete
“One hundred years after Loreto’s first foundation, six courageous Irish women arrived in (Kenya’s) Kilindini harbour (on October 18th, 1921). They were welcomed warmly by two Spiritan (Holy Ghost) Fathers -----------------------
Focusing on the planned Centennial Celebration, Sr. Kelly said the January 29 event that is to begin with Holy Mass is guided by the theme, “Gratitude to God for faithfulness.”
To mark 100 years of service among the people of God in the Eastern Africa Province, she added, Loreto Sisters have identified a “neglected” area in Kenya’s Archdiocese of Mombasa where they plan to empower the girlchild.
“The area we feel still neglected is the area around the Mijikenda people in Kilifi. The Giriama girls are still very deprived of basic education,” Sr. Kelly said.
She explained, “Our memory for the centenary is that we develop a holistic school in Kilifi district. The land is already there, and the vision is that through that school and other ways, we impact on the region and gives the people of the area, particularly the women, a sense of their human dignity, and help them develop more fully as human persons.”
“We do not want to leave out the boychild; we have programs there” for the boychild who, she added, “is being neglected morally.”

BALLYLONGFORD, a town, in the parish of AGHAVALLIN, barony of IRAGHTICONNOR, county of KERRY, and province of MUNSTER, 4 miles (W. by S.) from Tarbert; containing 1300 inhabitants. This town is situated on the road from Tarbert to Ballybunnian, at the head of an estuary or creek of the river Shannon, and contains about 300 houses. Its position is favourable for the export trade, the creek forming a port for lighters which carry corn and turf to Limerick; the trade in turf is very considerable from the vast supply afforded by the extensive tracts of bog in the vicinity, forming part of the possessions of Trinity College, Dublin. The harbour has 16 feet of water at high tides, and is capable of being made one of the best on the Shannon; but that of Tarbert being considered to possess superior advantages, is more likely to be improved. A fair or market is held every alternate Thursday, chiefly for pigs and cattle. This place has a penny post dependent on Tarbert. Petty sessions are held every Monday, and, once in three weeks, a baronial court for the manor of Carrig-a-foile; and here is a station of the constabulary police. There are several gentlemen's seats in the vicinity, enumerated in the article on Aghavallin, which see, The parochial church is situated about ¼ of a mile to the north of the town, but having been condemned by the provincial architect as unworthy of repair, it is expected that a new church will be shortly built by the Ecclesiastical Board, at an estimated expense of about £650. The R. C. chapel in the town is a spacious slated building with two galleries, erected in 1806 at an expense of £2000; and near it a large building for a school has been lately erected, at a cost of £350. Here is also a dispensary. In the vicinity of the town, but in Kilnaughten parish, are the extensive and picturesque ruins of Lislaghtin abbey.

CARBON: CarbonPlan’s study comes days after the Washington state legislature moved a cap-and-trade bill with an offset program to the governor’s desk for approval. Oregon has also debated in recent months establishing a carbon market program that would emulate California’s policy. In Washington, DC, the Biden administration has signalled growing interest in harnessing forests and soil to draw down CO2. Businesses, too, increasingly plan to rely heavily on trees to offset their emissions in lieu of the harder task of cutting corporate pollution.

(JTA) — It has been 77 years since Nazi collaborators marched György Bánhidi and his family from their spacious home in Budapest into the city’s Jewish ghetto.
But Bánhidi, who is now 84, remembers even the tiniest details from that short trip to a place where he endured months of hunger, and the trauma of watching his mother give up her hope of ever surviving.
Most of all, he remembers the feeling of being taunted and mocked by Hungarian soldiers camped out just outside the ghetto, who cheered as their fellow collaborators herded Jewish families into the urban enclosure.
To this day, Bánhidi revisits the “awful feeling of our own countrymen mocking us, spitting at us, throwing things at us,” whenever he passes near that area of the Hungarian capital, where he still lives today.

Given these serious concerns, the CDC's inability to demonstrate the benefits of following its advice, or even to honestly discuss the relevant research, is an egregious failure. "When the history books are written, we will not look wise or kind for insisting that kids and toddlers wear masks for hours on end, year after year, without ever testing this policy with controlled trials," Prasad concludes. "We will look ignorant, cruel, fearful, and cowardly. We might even look worse than our primitive ancestors who, when faced with great plagues, engaged in all sorts of bizarre, superstitious behavior—but which rarely included making kids suffer most."

Celebrates her 101st birthday
After tying the knot with Myles Breen Senior, the newly weds opened Myles Breen’s Bar on Shannon Street in Limerick, which became their life’s work, until it was eventually sold, in 1986.
“She always loved music and theatre,” Myles, who featured in Fair City and Hamlet, told of his mother, adding that she helped inspire his own creativity.
Bridie was also a champion Irish dancer, along with her older brother Jack, stepping out for Halpin’s School of Irish Dancing.

DEATH: “The Covid-19 pandemic has seen many people die the ultimate medicalised death, often alone but for masked staff in hospitals and intensive care units, unable to communicate with their families, except digitally,” says Dr Libby Sallnow, co-Chair of the Commission.
“How people die has changed dramatically over the past 60 years, from a family event with occasional medical support, to a medical event with limited family support. A fundamental rethink is needed in how we care for the dying, our expectations around death, and the changes required in society to rebalance our relationship with death.”

Project- Using Magnets to Help Prevent Heart Attacks. School-Desmond College, Station Road, Newcastle West. Teacher- Donal Enright
http://www.scifestfinal2021.ie/page/Award-Winners-2021/40647/Index.html
Heart disease is the most common cause of death in Ireland. 6,000 people have heart attacks in Ireland each year but many of these can be prevented.
Irish women are 6 times more likely to die from cardiovascular/heart disease than from breast cancer. If a person's blood becomes too thick it can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart attacks. Currently, the only method for thinning blood is through drugs such as aspirin; however, these drugs often produce unwanted side effects.
Because red blood cells contain iron, we believe that is possible to reduce a person's blood viscosity by 20-30 percent by subjecting it to a magnetic field of 1.3 Telsa. The magnetic field polarizes the red blood cells causing them to link together in short chains, streamlining the movement of the blood.

North Wales Chronicle Advertiser 14 July 1860
A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. A correspondent of the Freeman's Journal writes “Tarbert, Friday.
The discovery of a fearful attempt at assassination has startled the good folk of Tarbert, and has occasioned considerable uneasiness to the family against whom the annihilation was intended. It appears that about three weeks ago a nice little box was directed to Colonel Patterson, Tarbert House. On the direction card were the names of several lady members of his family, and intimating that a letter would be found inside which would explain all. The colonel, struck with the singularity of the affair of receiving a box of which he knew nothing, and fancying that there might be some hoax connected with it, determined not to open the mysterious consignment until further information might elucidate its meaning. Accordingly it was locked up in a room, and continued there for three weeks without any information being received respecting it. Several members of his household, having shaken the box, pronounced the contents to be either sand or powder, eventually, however, in order to see what it did contain, the wary old soldier, on Wednesday last, placed it a distance of 100 yards or more, fired a Pistol at the lid, when bang went the box with a loud report shattering into pieces a large stone against which it was placed. Amazed, the colonel ran up, and to his astonishment discovered that his "little Present" nothing more nor less than an Infernal machine, It was filled with powder, and had a dozen Lucifer matches so arranged in the inside that if the box were opened in the usual way certain destruction would be the consequence.

Addressing the minister, Deputy Tóibín said: “I will make two small points in the time I have left. I attended a protest outside the Chinese embassy today concerning the treatment of the Uyghur people. I do not believe that the government is using its voice strongly enough to oppose the horrendous things happening in that part of the world. People are being forced into thought camps, there is forced abortion and sterilisation and people are going missing. It is very important that we do not just speak through the UN on this issue, but that we raise our voice regarding human rights. Human rights are universal, and not for particular countries. They are for all countries.”

Special Appeal: At Mass, the chief Celebrant (Priest) leads the prayers some of which are meant to be communal – congregation is expected to join in. This is true especially at the Gloria, Creed, Acclamation of faith (After elevation of host and chalice), great Amen, and Our Father. Could each of us help to revive this practice and so make the overall prayer ours—more communal and meaningful?

BEHAVIOUR: But Dr. King addressed this sort of “either/or” argument decades ago in an address on racism/segregation at Cornell College in Iowa. It’s well worth reading:
There is another myth that has circulated a great deal. I call it, for lack of a better phrase, the myth of educational determinism. I am sure you have heard this: ‘Legislation can’t solve this problem, only education can solve it. Judicial decrees can’t solve it, executive orders from the President can’t solve it. Only with education and changing attitudes through education will we be able to come to a solution to this problem.’ Now there is a partial truth here, for education does have a great role to play in this period of transition. But it is not either education or legislation; it is both education and legislation. It may be true that morality cannot be legislated, but behaviour can be regulated. It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important also. It may be true that the law cannot change the heart, but it can restrain the heartless, and this is what we often do and we have to do in society through legislation.

IRISH LANGUAGE REVIVAL. ENTHUSIASTIC. PUBLIC MEETING IN L1STOWEL.SPEECHES BY MESSRS FLAVIN AND O'DONNELL, M.P'S.
On Friday night a large and thoroughly representative public meeting was held in the Hall of the St Patrick's Total Abstinence Society, Listowel, in support of the Irish Language Revival Movement, Addresses were delivered by Messrs; M J Flavin, T O'Donnell, M.P's; J Gallagher, Tralee, and others. The proceedings throughout were of the most enthusiastic character.
Amongst the others present were—Messrs T Gibson, M Enright, B.A, Professor St Michael's College; P Breen, do; M; O'Connor, J.P; J T Pierce, V.S; J J. Galvin, R.D.C; Dr Crowley, R J Marshall, Solr; D Browne, R Browne, J B Tackaberry, UDC; W L Fitzgerald, do; P Hayes, do; M Kerin, do; R J Cuthbertson, J Collins, J M'Guire, E O'Sullivan, D J Flavin, U.D.C ; C Hanlon, J Nolan, J Browne, L Buckley, U.D.C ; W Keane, etc, etc.
The Chairman, who on rising was received with loud applause, said that he sincerely thanked them for conferring on an humble townsman of their own the very high and distinguished honour of being asked to preside at that meeting, and he thought there were very few occasions greater pride than on an occasion like the present, when old men and the young blood were hand in hand in support of their good old language, which was prized by their ancestors, and which unfortunately and unfriendly Government had done all that in them lay to bury beyond hope of resurrection (applause). He thanked God the spirit of the Irish people, as well as the spirit of the Irish language, had not been killed. They were assembled to give their little assistance to push forward the Gaelic language by every means in their power;
and he said that the language, being the language of Ireland, was a language well worthy of support; and they could not expect that the Irish people would be worthy of their ancestors unless the language that had been handed down had been preserved by them (applause). His duty there that night would be a very light one—merely to introduce to them the several speakers , some of whom were young men who had made a very close study of the Irish language, and whom, he was sure, they would be delighted to see coming ward speaking in support of their native tongue. On the proposition of Mr M Kerin, U.D.C, seconded by Mr J J Galvin, R.D.C, Mr T O'Sullivan was appointed secretary to the meeting. The following letters of apology were read:— Listowel, November 16.1900. Dear Mr O Sullivan —Lest I may not be able to attend your meeting to-night, I write to let you know that the movement which is being got up here for the revival of the Irish language has my fullest sympathy and shall freely get any help I can give it. (Applause). Yours faithfully, John Pattison. Finuge, 16,11, 1900.
T F O'Sullivan, Esq, Sec Gaelic League, Listowel Branch).
Dear Mr. O Sullivan —I am duly in receipt of your circular, and in reply beg to say that the movement to revive the Irish Language has my fullest sympathy and support. I am sorry I cannot be at your meeting tonight, but shall gladly become a member and do what I can to forward the movement (applause). Yours Sincerely Edward J Cussan
Mr T Gibson proposed and Dr Crowley, seconded the adoption of the following resolutions.
1—That we pledge ourselves to promote by every means in our power the revival of our mother tongue (applause).
Several other promotional points were also approved.

THE CHOLERA.
In the whole of Russia there have been 6,144 cases of cholera, and 2,741 deaths. In St. Petersburg on Tuesday there were 155 cases and 51 deaths, while 69 recovered. It seems that a hundred passengers landed from Hamburg at Harwich, and every effort is being made to trace them. Some suspicious cases have been taken in hands in Falmouth and Tynemouth. The cases at Liverpool have been properly isolated. One of the patients died on Wednesday. An order was issued from the English Local Government Board on Thursday requiring all vessels from Hamburg to get rid of their tank and bilge water before entering English docks. Up to a late hour on Wednesday night no spread of the infection in England was reported.

DAY of SICK: Vatican City, 04 January, 2022, By Hannah Brockhaus
In a message ahead of the World Day of the Sick, Pope Francis reminded Catholics that caring for the ill and infirm is not the calling of a few, but part of every Christian’s mission to show mercy.
“I would like to remind everyone that closeness to the sick and their pastoral care is not only the task of certain specifically designated ministers; visiting the sick is an invitation that Christ addresses to all his disciples,” the pope said.
“How many sick and elderly people are living at home and waiting for a visit,” he added. “The ministry of consolation is a task for every baptized person, mindful of the words of Jesus: ‘I was sick and you visited me.’”
The Catholic Church will mark the 30th annual World Day of the Sick on Feb. 11, the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in southwestern France is associated with the sick because of the presence of a miraculous spring from which many people have obtained physical healing.
Pope Francis said that his predecessor John Paul II instituted the World Day of the Sick in 1992 as a way “to encourage the people of God, Catholic health institutions, and civil society to be increasingly attentive to the sick and to those who care for them.”
POPE’S Intentions: During January the Pope asks us to pray ‘For true human fraternity’.
We pray for all those suffering from religious discrimination and persecution; may their own rights and dignity be recognized, which originate from being brothers and sisters in the human family. In February we are asked to pray ‘For religious sisters and consecrated women’. We pray for religious sisters and consecrated women; thanking them for their mission and their courage; may they continue to find new responses to the challenges of our times.

COVID; And according to a report published Tuesday by the U.K.’s Office for National Statistics, “Those who have received three doses of a vaccine and test positive for COVID-19 are more likely to be infected with infections compatible with the Omicron variant compared with those who are unvaccinated.” Comment ( Testing and admissions to hospitals are a super spreader and a great danger to client’s involved. If you are sick and having a high temperature the best place was always in bed till temperatures and sickness abates. Now sick are taken for covid tests and have to travel by various means, spreading the disease on route and making provision for their lockdown, is also spreading infection).

ACCIDENTS: Fatal accidents at work are on the increase. One of the regrettable facts highlighted in a report from the Industrial Inspectorate is the assumption that "accidents cannot happen here." According to the report's statistics, 32 people died in accidents at work in 1973. This was an increase of eight on the previous year. The number of accidents notified to the Department of Labour rose to 3,334 compared with 2,908 in 1972. In a breakdown of the figures, it is shown that 17 of the fatalities were in factory premises, 11 in the construction industry, three in quarries and the other one in mines. While six of the fatal accidents in the construction industry resulted from falls from heights, the report emphasises that "considerable height" need not be involved. Often, falls from an almost negligible height could prove fatal. More safety committees are urged in the report It points out that while in 1973 there were 187 (an increase of 42) there should be many more. It exhorts workers "to exert their right" to set up safety committees within their firms. A decline in the incidence of lead poisoning over a number of years was encouraging. However, to promote further improvement,' the Inspectorate undertook a major survey to determine the lead concentrations in the workshops of more than 160 of the factories where lead processing is carried on. Efforts would continue towards the elimination of this hazard to workers. The report stresses also that workers must be protected from asbestos dust A survey of the levels of dust began during 1973. , A "strict watch" was being kept on firms using radiation sources. The overall standard of compliance with the regulations was high. More doctors are soon to be appointed to provide an occupational health service in industry, the Minister for Labour, Mr. O'Leary, says in a foreword to the report He will also increase the number of Inspectors.
SUBSIDY: No Beef On Sale in Cork Unless Subsidy Is Paid, Say Butchers A warning has been issued by the Master Butchers' Association in Cork that unless the E.E.C. subsidy for heifer carcasses, paid by the E.E.C, was made available to Cork suppliers, beef would no longer be on sale in the city by next February. The association said it could not continue on a competitive basis with suppliers outside Cork, who were, at present, getting the £13.60 subsidy. By next February, this subsidy will be just over £22. At a recent meeting of the association, a majority voted for a total ban on the handling of beef. Before the subsidy can be paid, each animal must be seen by a veterinary surgeon acting specially for that purpose. The Department of Agriculture claimed that it was not their job, with the result that the subsidy was not being paid in Cork. The consumer was once more losing out on an opportunity of buying beef at a greatly reduced rate, said a spokesman for the association yesterday, the subsidy could cut meat prices by as much as 18%. In Dublin, where the meat trade was monopolised by a couple of large suppliers, there appeared to be little difficulty in securing the subsidy. Three-quarters of the meat was handled by private suppliers, who claimed that they were being run out of business by the. Government's failure to obtain the subsidy for them. The county veterinary officer, Mr. Peter Meehan, said yesterday that his staff were examining cattle for the subsidy payment. The only condition that applied was that respective slaughter-houses must be licensed. Mr. Michael McCarthy, Cork City Veterinary Officer, said that in some cases, local slaughterhouses did not satisfy the Department of Agriculture that they were eligible for payment-eligibility depends on conditions and standards in abattoirs. It would be physically impossible for local vets to get around to more than 14 slaughterhouses in Cork. The only way they could possibly do this was if the city had one central abattoir. Mrs. Ita O'Connell, chairman of the Cork branch of the Irish Housewives' Association, said that they were appalled that housewives were being deprived of cheap meat. It was totally unfair that the consumer should be victimised because of internal problems, she added.

PRESENTS: A guide on the best ways to recycle, reuse and donate unwanted Christmas presents so that someone else can enjoy them even if you don't.
It's only human to feel that some gifts we receive at Christmas aren't, shall we say, best-suited to us. Maybe we've got enough socks, we don't actually watch DVDs anymore or we've gone plastic-free and don't need bottles of body lotion.
Whatever the reason, unwanted gifts can't go to waste and even though it may take a bit longer to sort out other options, explains Emma Priestland, plastic pollution campaigner at Friends of the Earth, it's worth it.
“Once Christmas is done and dusted there can be a temptation to get the big new year clean up sorted as quickly as possible," Emma tells Country Living. "It’s important to take a little extra time with the clearing to make sure that unwanted gifts, used wrapping paper, gift packaging and more is not going to landfill unnecessarily."

TESTS: By Christine Rousselle, Katie Yoder
Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Jan 4, 2022 / 16:21 pm
Pro-life leaders say they are deeply disturbed by a recent New York Times investigation that found some prenatal blood tests have alarmingly high false positive results for genetic disorders that frequently result in the abortion of unborn children.
Pregnant women have been misled to believe “that a few vials of their blood, drawn in the first trimester, can allow companies to detect serious developmental problems in the DNA of the fetus with remarkable accuracy,” the Times reported on Jan. 1.
Yet the "grave predictions" that some of the most commonly used newer tests make "are usually wrong," the Times found.

COWS: Robert Bryson from Loughbrickland is a member of one of CAFRE’s dairy business development groups and has carried out a carbon footprint for the dairy enterprise in 2018 as part of the Dairy-4-Future project.
The farm consists of 210 Holsteins Friesian cows with an annual milk yield of 9,600L from 2.5t of concentrate per cow.
Brian said: ”Robert’s dairy enterprise carbon footprint was calculated at 0.99kg of CO2 equivalent per kg milk corrected to 4% fat and 3.5% protein.
”This is well below the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) farm business survey average of 1.24kg of CO2 equivalent per kg milk.”

RICE agriculture is one of the most significant human-created sources of methane gas. In a world affected by climate change, growing rice is becoming less and less environmentally friendly. Higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere cause the rice plants in paddies to grow at a more rapid rate. This in turn feeds the microscopic organisms that live under the paddies faster, causing more methane to enter the atmosphere. Furthermore, rising temperatures lower the rice yield, meaning that more methane is created per each pound of rice produced.

HEROD was paranoid, perceiving plots against his throne right and left. On Dec. 28, the Church commemorates the slaughter of the holy innocents. These are the baby boys in Bethlehem that Herod the Great had slaughtered in an attempt to kill the Baby Jesus. He killed one of his wives, Mariamne, and three of his sons: Alexander, Aristobulus, and Antipater. When Herod’s end was near he ordered that one person in every family should be slain so that the whole kingdom would be forced to mourn at the occasion of his death. Caesar Augustus reportedly said, “It is better to be Herod’s pig than son”. The slaughter of the innocents is a reflection of Herod’s character. Being a proud man, he liked to show off, one of his building projects was the Temple in Jerusalem.

In County Kerry, labour organisations turned to co-operative principles to secure the economic interests of their members. In November 1918, The Irish Homestead reported the establishment of a workers’ co-operative store in Tralee.66 The following January, the ITGWU established another co-operative store in the market town of Listowel ‘for the benefit of the workers’.67 Located in Kerry’s most urbanised areas, these stores reflected the ITGWU’s desire to use co-operative methods to benefit the local consumers, the same group from which the trade union’s members were drawn.

87 spite of support given by Horace Plunkett.86 In December 1908, Charles Riddall arrived in Listowel to persuade locals of the benefits of organising their own creamery along IAOS-oriented lines. The local newspaper recorded Riddall’s speech to the farmers around Listowel, which made a scathing attack upon the CWS: This English Co-operative Society was... thoroughly co-operative in England, but in Ireland it stood on the very same level as a proprietary creamery. In Knocknagoshel, one of the principle points to be got over in regard to the people’s connection with the English concern was the fact that the farmers... were tied hand and foot in the English institution, and it then became the task of farmers in that locality to liberate themselves from the hands of those English persons who came over to Ireland some twenty years ago posing... in many cases as philanthropists, but who had proved to be in many cases the exact opposite. 87This verbal assault sounded the decline of the CWS’s efforts to organise Irish dairying. In January 1909, the CWS ceded the co-operative territory around creameries to the IAOS, having shared ‘the common experience of those Englishmen who seek to pave the bogs of Ireland with good intentions.’88By the end of that decade, the CWS ceased establishing creameries and sold off most of its concerns to local farmers or creamery proprietors retaining only three creameries and six auxiliaries.89 In Knocknagoshel, farmers assumed control of the local creamery premises. Riddall argued that the prosperity of Irish farmers relied upon their ‘liberation’ from an English institution, thereby linking the IAOS and co-operative farmers in Kerry to larger processes of social change and intensified nationalism that underpinned this period. The outcome of this conflict held important consequences for the continued development of co-operative organisation in Ireland. The IAOS became increasingly bound up in notions of national development. The idealisation

Snow drifts covered houses. Horses froze where they stood. Roads were impassable for weeks. This, historian Thomas Wickman writes, was the landscape of much of New England in February and March of 1717, when colonists suffered a weather disaster known as the Great Snow.
Within an 11-day period late that February, Wickman writes, there were four major snowstorms. It was, according to the famed minister Cotton Mather, “as mighty a Snow, as perhaps has been known in the Memory of Man.” And, thanks to frigid weather, the snow took its time melting. Three- to five-foot-deep snow packs lay across much of the New England landscape for the six weeks that followed.
