Tammy Peterson — wife of psychologist and author Dr. Jordan Peterson — plans to enter the Catholic Church this Easter. In an interview with “EWTN News In Depth,” she shared about the powerful role the rosary has played in her faith journey and in her physical healing from cancer.
Peterson, who has a YouTube podcast called “The Tammy Peterson Podcast” with almost 60,000 subscribers, was diagnosed in 2019 with a rare form of kidney cancer — a Bellini tumor. She was told she had 10 months to live.
“We went into [the doctor’s] office and he started handing me papers to sign, and his hands were shaking,” she recalled. “And I thought, this isn’t good news.”

Disability History- 16 November 2023
Here at the Museum of London, we tell the stories of Londoners. However, we appreciate that there are many Londoners who have been under- or misrepresented in those stories over time. For example, the experiences of disabled Londoners throughout the city’s history has been rarely explored. This is quite startling, considering that impairment has always been an integral part of human life.

By watching what Jesus does, we see not only his priorities back then, but his priorities today — because the Second Person of the Trinity is someone whose priorities don’t change. And what are his priorities? First, gathering disciples (two Sundays ago); second, teaching in the house of worship (last Sunday); and third, entering into family life.

Sinéad Griffin emphasized that she did not find evidence for superconductivity in LK-99. Her study established that the material may have properties in common with other high-TC superconductors, though the simulations also hint that the position of copper (Cu) in LK-99 may play a complex and outsized role in its conductivity.

A Laois County Councillor couldn’t disguise his frustration and anger with Uisce Eireann, over their refusal to provide improved sewerage infrastructure in his local village.
Cllr PJ Kelly, speaking at today’s meeting of Graiguecullen-Portarlington Municipal District in Laois County Council, lashed out at at a response from the council saying “Uisce Eireann do not have plans to provide sewerage infrastructure in Ballybrittas” in response to an update he had sought.
Cllr Kelly said he and his predecessors have been campaigning on this for nearly half a century – but this is the first time they’ve been definitely turned down.

The Canadian Royal Crown emblem is “an important symbol of the sovereign’s authority, the Canadian monarchy, and the power of the state acting in the sovereign’s name,” according to the office of the governor general of Canada, who represents King Charles III in his role as king of Canada.
“In place of the orb and cross at the top of the crown is a stylized snowflake, a reference to Canada being a northern realm,” the governor general’s website says. The snowflake symbol is linked to the insignia of the Order of Canada, a top Canadian honor.
The combined orb and cross atop King Charles’ crown have long been used by Christian royalty as a reminder that the world is subject to the dominion of Jesus Christ.

PROSPECT HEIGHTS — A fire that killed more than three dozen migrants at the National Migration Institute in Ciudad Juárez — the city that borders El Paso along the U.S-Mexico border — on the evening of March 27 was reportedly started by migrants who set mattresses ablaze to protest their pending deportation.
“As a protest, at the door of the shelter, they put mattresses and set them on fire, and they did not imagine that this was going to cause this terrible tragedy,” Mexico President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said at a news conference. “We assume it was because they found out they were going to be deported.”
In addition to at least 40 people who died, 29 others were injured and are in “delicate-serious” condition, the institute said in a statement. They added that there were 68 men from Central and South America held in the detention center at the time of the fire.

RARE BOOK: Mikulec wanted $1 million but would settle for $10,000, he told A.S.W. Rosenbach, the foremost dealer of rare books and manuscripts of the time. Rosenbach offered to help and also signed his name in the album, remarking, “This is probably the greatest collection of autographs in the world.” The dealer thought railroad magnate Henry E. Huntington might buy it, but the transaction never panned out.
Instead, Mikulec found his own buyer: Samuel Robinson, a wealthy Philadelphian with whom he had struck up a warm correspondence. Robinson, an immigrant from Ireland, cofounded American Stores Company, later ACME Markets. On May 28, 1924, Mikulec composed a handwritten receipt stating that Robinson had paid him $2,500 (around $41,500 today) for his “autograph book.”

PARISH CONCERT Glenflesk WITH SANDY & GUESTS - MONDAY 25th OCT
On Monday October 25th in the INEC Ballroom, Sandy Kelly and guests Gerry Guthrie and Lorraine McDonald will perform a concert in aid of Glenflesk Parish Church Maintenance Fund. This fund is absolutely essential for us in maintaining and restoring our Churches. By supporting this concert you will be helping us to get urgently focused on works commencing sooner rather than later, especially in Barraduff Church. It is great that with the easing of restrictions that this concert can go ahead. I would like to thank Patrick O'Donoghue and his staff in accommodating this concert and their great cooperation in organising it at short notice. Tickets €30 are available from Parish Council Members and also from INEC box office. For those unable to go to the concert, contributions (big or small) can be given at weekend Masses in the boxes at the back of the Churches. Here is a snapshot of Sandy's life in music.
THE ONE AND ONLY SANDY KELLY
Born into a show business family, “The Duskey Family Roadshow”, Sandy’s destiny was sealed. The show moved from town to town through Ireland in the late fifties and early sixties and presented a mixture of music, plays and magic. From the early age of 3 Sandy was singing and acting and the foundations were being laid for a glittering career.
With the birth of television the show finally closed and Sandy and her family moved to South Wales. By the age of 15 Sandy was singing in the tough circuit of the working man’s clubs in England and Wales and was quickly learning to craft her talent. One of the top agents saw Sandy perform one night and she was offered the job as Lead Singer in the Resident band at the world famous “Golden Garter” club in Manchester.
But then sadly Sandy’s mother took ill and the family decided to move back to Ireland. It wasn’t long before she was spotted by Tom Kelly and joined the Fairways showband. Her first record, “Come Back Billy Joe” reached no 2 in the Irish charts and Sandy's career was back on track.
Her achievements since have been phenomenal:
*Represented Ireland at the 1982 Eurovision with the “Duskeys”.
*Won the Gold Star Award in Holland in 1984.
* Represented Ireland at Fanfare in Nashville in 1986 and 1989.
* Two Gold records for her recordings “Crazy” and “Woodcarver” a duet with Johnny Cash.
*Her TV series “Sandy” with RTE in ’92,’93 and’94 was a huge success and high on the Tam ratings. *Recorded with Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Glen Campbell, George Hamilton IV and several more worldwide stars and toured with them in the US and UK.
*Sandy has appeared on several coast to coast TV shows in the USA including “Nashville Now”, “Crook and Chase” and the Grand Ole Opry.
Looking ahead, Sandy has started work on a book about her life over the last 60 years. Her book and new album will be released in early 2022. As with all other Artists it’s been a difficult 20 months for Sandy due to Covid-19 and we are delighted that her first concert will be in aid of our Church Maintenance Fund in the INEC Ballroom.

U.S. records, especially in regard to transcribing the Federal Censuses. During our Great Depression, job programs were created to put people to work under such programs as the WPA (Work Progress Administration) to build national parks, highways, and other infrastructure projects. During this same time period, the Census Bureau undertook a project to microfilm 34 million records from the 1900 Federal Census (other years followed). They also decided on a means of indexing these same records using a new and somewhat controversial system…SOUNDEX. Given the huge range of ethnic names in the American melting pot, it was quite an undertaking. It involved a substantial number of persons who were both newly hired and newly trained. In the end, it did create jobs, put money in circulation, food on the table and gave librarians, historians and genealogists a new tool to store and retrieve valuable records’.

The first Federal Population Census was taken in 1790, and a census has been taken every ten years since. However, data from recent censuses are not available after 1940 because of a 72-year restriction on access to the Census. Most researchers find it helpful to begin with the 1940 Census and work backwards to locate people in earlier generations.
