Hi, guys so another week has ended and I don't think I've ever been so happy that it's the weekend. I'm going to London for the weekend and it's been such a stressful week so I'm glad to get away from it all a little bit. I will definitely be trying all of these drinks this winter. If you're reading this and you have some spare time this weekend then it is the perfect time to experiment with some different Christmas drinks like the ones below. Enjoy:
Peppermint Eggnog
How can you not be enticed by the above image? Cute little pastel pink drinks look so chic; let's hope they taste as nice. Entertaining this Christmas? Or maybe you just want to make some for yourself? Here's how:
- 6 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- Half a cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoons more of sugar
- Quarter of a teaspoon of salt
- Half a teaspoon of pure peppermint extract
- One tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
- 4 cups of whole milk
- Twelve peppermint candy canes broken into pieces
- 3 ounces of white chocolate, coarsely chopped
- Half a cup of heavy cream
- Peppermint sticks for garnish
- If you want to make them pink like the ones in the photo you will also need just a tiny drop of red or pink food colouring.
- Extra cubes of white chocolate with strawberry can be added as a garnish too for the above desired outcome
- Prepare an ice water bath; set aside.
- Whisk together eggs, egg yolk, sugar, salt and the extracts in a large saucepan over medium low heat until combined.
- Pour in milk in a slow, steady stream, whisking until fully incorporated.
- Raise heat to medium.
- Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture reached one hundred and sixty degrees on an instant red thermometer and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Pour milk mixture through a fine sieve into a medium bowl. (You should probably add any necessary food colouring now.)
- Set bowl in ice water bath and let mixture cool completely.
- Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to over night.
- Process candy canes in a food crusher until finely crushed. Sift in a strainer to discard dust and transfer to a shallow dish
- Melt chocolate in a heat proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Let it cool for 5 minutes. Dip the rim of each cup into the melted chocolate, then crushed peppermint candy canes. Refrigerate until set (about 5 minutes.)
- Remove mixture of eggs, milk, sugar, salt and extracts from fridge and set aside.
- Put the cream into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; mix on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
- Fold into mixture until combined.
- Fill cups with eggnog. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint, garnish with peppermint sticks and serve.
Now you and your guests can enjoy. To personalise them you could try different colours or a different type of chocolate. Maybe instead of peppermint you could use cinnamon. I'm sure it would work just as well. Recipe from http://www.mybougeotte.com/.
Gingerbread Lattes

- 2 fluid ounces espresso coffee
- 2 tablespoons gingerbread flavoured syrup
- Half a cup of milk, steamed
- Eighth of a cup of whipped cream
- One pinch of ground nutmeg
- One pinch of ground cinnamon
- Half a teaspoon of vanilla powder
- In a coffee mug, combine espresso coffee with gingerbread flavoured syrup
- Pour in steamed milk.
- Sprinkle with nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla
And enjoy. This one is less of a party drink and more of a 'just-got-home-from-work/school-on-a-cold-tiring-day' drink. Tastes best when you've come into the warm from the cold. Recipe from http://allrecipes.com.
Hot Chocolate Infused with Earl Grey
|(Image Source)
For the hot chocolate
- Milk of your choice
- Earl Grey Tea Bags
- 3 Squares of dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
For the whipped cream
- Heavy whipping cream
- Vanilla extract
- Sugar
- Boil milk with 2 Earl Grey teabags until milk begins to simmer then turn off heat and let the milk cool steep for 2 minutes.
- Remove the two teabags, add 3 chocolate chocolate squares to the milk and return to heat until chocolate is fully dissolved.
- Pour hot chocolate into a mug.
- Pour cold heavy cream into a mixing bowl with a splash of vanilla extract and one tablespoon of sugar.
- Using a mixer, whip until cream is thick.
- Top hot chocolate with whipped cream
- For an extra kick, split open an Earl Grey tea bag and sprinkle a small amount of loose tea on top of the whipped cream
You can probably also try this with a peppermint tea bag, a fruity tea bag or a chai tea bag.Recipe from http://sosimplysophie.com/.
Hot Chocolate Infused with Lavender
|(Image Source)
For the hot chocolate
- Milk of your choice
- Fresh lavender
- 3 cubes of dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
Whipped Cream
- Heavy whipping cream
- Vanilla extract
- Sugar
- Boil milk with desired amount of fresh lavender (the lavender is very potent so a little goes a long way)
- Once the milk begins to simmer, turn off the heat and let milk seep for 5 minutes.
- Strain milk to remove the lavender then return the milk to the saucepan.
- Add 3 chocolate squares to the milk and heat until the chocolate is fully dissolved.
- Pour hot chocolate into a mug
- Pour cold heavy cream into a mixing bowl with a splash of vanilla extract and one tablespoon of sugar
- Using a mixer, whip until cream is thick
- Top hot chocolate with whipped cream
- Sprinkle fresh lavender over whipped cream
Recipe from http://sosimplysophie.com/.

Nutella and Milk
|(Image Source)
Funnily enough you need
- Milk
- Nutella
to make Nutella and Milk
You can also add cinnamon to put on top if you want.
- Pour a few splashes of milk into a saucepan over low heat.
- Add two or three big spoonfuls of Nutella.
- Whisk it all together until it is nice and smooth.
- Pour in about 3/4 of a mug full of more milk
- Sprinkle in some cinnamon (optional)
- Whisk until everything is hot, but don't let the milk boil
Again, idea from http://rookiemag.com/
Enjoy :)

In an age when many people think truth is relative, the knowledge that there is such a thing as absolute truth, is comforting. The freedom that comes with the knowledge that we are able to embrace teachings that are a continuation of an unbroken line dating back to Apostolic times, is liberating. As Orthodox Christians, we are not faced with the troubling task of interpreting the scriptures anew, or deciding moral and dogmatic teachings for ourselves, or trying to make our faith relevant for this age. Rather, we can immerse ourselves in the knowledge that we have embraced the Mind of the Ancient Universal Church.
We haven't had to reinvent the Faith, because we have aligned ourselves with the Church that is both ancient, and relevant for the modern seeker. We know the Church's teachings are not based on the finite mind, or the imagination of our own fallen nature, but the eternal truths that have endured from ancient of times.
It is comforting to know the Church has remained true to her inheritance for some two thousand years. It is liberating to know ancient Christian dogmas, ways of worship, and moral teachings, are guiding our lives, just as they have for two thousand years.
Truth is not relative, but is absolute. There is no greater freedom, than to be able to receive, as our own, the transcending truth that has made saints, from ancient times. There is no greater freedom, than being able to embrace the absolute truth that has transcended time, space, culture, and race. No greater joy than to be counted as belonging to Christ, and having joined ourselves to the very Church He founded.
Love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon

The Scripture Readings for the Day
Romans 1:1-7
Greeting1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God 2 which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, 3 concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. 5 Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, 6 among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;
7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:13-17
The Just Live by Faith16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."
Matthew 4:25-5:13
25 Great multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
The Beatitudes5 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. 2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:
3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit,11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
For they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.

For they shall obtain mercy.

Hi Cathy!
I should probably get some better shoes. LoL. I don't have back pain... yet. But I've had it in the past.
Usually if I stopped playing basketball it would go away. (hmmmmm, I wonder if there's a connection!)

Star luger Shiva Keshavan once again did the honours of holding the national flag as the Indian contingent, including cross country skier Jagdish Singh, took part in a glittering opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics on Friday.
Keshavan, Jagdish and chef-de-mission Harjinder Singh were among the six Indians who took part in the march past under sub-zero conditions in this South Korean resort town.
All the members of the Indian contingent wore red track shirt and black trousers with grey hand gloves and an Himachali cap.
The 36-year-old Keshavan, who is taking part in his sixth and last Winter Olympics, was seen waving the tri-colour.
Sixth time lucky
Keshavan has held the Indian flag in all his earlier five Winter Olympics appearances either in the opening or closing ceremony. The 2014 edition was an exception as the Indian Olympic Association was under suspension.
Cross country skier Jagdish Singh arrived today on time to take part in the ceremony.
Jagdish was to arrive here on February 4 along with Keshavan but his departure from India was delayed due to confusion over who will accompany him as coach.
The four heats of luge men's singles events in which Keshavan will participate will take place tomorrow and February 11. The final result will come out with the total time earned from the four runs.
Jagdish will compete in the 15-km Nordic skiing freestyle event on February 16.

In cast metal, these shades showcase sumptuous finishes, rivet and seam details creating a refined industrial look. Paper shades allow light to pass through rather than funnel out and down. Accent details along the unique ring-and-rod chain and wide hoop holders contribute to the impression Altamont makes.

This zelda papercraft is the Linebeck, based on the game The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, the paper craft is created by ninjatoes. Linebeck is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. He is a self-centered, greedy, arrogant, cowardly, treasure-pursuing sailor. He named his ship after himself, the S.S. Linebeck. He plays a huge role in Link's adventure, mainly by providing the services of his steamship.
While he initially appears to be a wholly self-absorbed individual with his mind solely on profit, Linebeck more than once displays acts of loyalty and courage. Prior to the events of the game, Linebeck was somehow involved with Jolene. Apparently, Linebeck got on her bad side by stealing some of her treasure and she since held a vendetta against him. Linebeck assists Link with information about an island when talked to. Whenever Link docks the ship at an island, Linebeck makes up an excuse in order to remain with the ship, such as saying he has to "wash the rudder."
Linebeck's grandson, Linebeck III, who has inherited both his grandfather's appearance and demeanor, appears in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Before he died, Linebeck hid away a Regal Ring in the Trading Post, with the instructions written in a letter, which he passed onto his grandson. Linebeck's grave is located at the Trading Post, near the location of the Regal Ring.
Link first encounters Linebeck inside the Temple of the Ocean King on Mercay Island. Linebeck is stuck inside one of the temple's traps. Link completes the puzzle in the room, allowing Linebeck to exit. He does so without any acknowledgement of Link. He decides that the treasure inside the temple is not worth the risk, and travels south to the Shipyard. Eventually, Link and Ciela catch up with Linebeck, and while he is initially reluctant to team up with the two and travel the World of the Ocean King in search of the Ghost Ship, Ciela makes mention of a huge treasure; too rich an opportunity for Linebeck to pass up. He agrees to let Link become a part of his crew, and together they depart, sailing the seas in search of the fabled ship, with Linebeck's mind ever on the treasures found therein. At first, Linebeck seems to be quite annoyed by Ciela, calling her "Sparkles," and arguing with her, but in the end both Linebeck and Ciela get along.
Eventually, they find the Ghost Ship; however, Tetra, Link's friend who had been spirited away by the ship, has been petrified. Linebeck quickly readies to abandon their quest; outraged at the lack of treasure to be found. However, his loyalties instantly return when Oshus promised the captain one wish in return for his continued aid. The more they journey together, it becomes apparent that Linebeck gradually begins to see Link and Ciela as his friends. During the final battle, Linebeck displays uncharacteristic bravery by confronting Bellum when Link is rendered unable to battle it. Bellum attaches itself to Linebeck, becoming a being known as Bellumbeck. Link defeats Bellum one final time, expelling the evil creature from Linebeck and dispatching it from the World of the Ocean King.
However, the S.S. Linebeck is destroyed during this final battle and a grieving Linebeck laments his loss. Suddenly, his one wish, one he had sworn to use to obtain unimaginable wealth, is granted by Oshus; restoring the S.S. Linebeck and returning it from the bottom of the Sea. Linebeck is overjoyed and tells the others that he has now learned that there are more valuable things in life than treasure. Afterward, Linebeck's cowardice vanishes and he gains a reputation of being a legendary captain, proven by the description on his grave in Spirit Tracks.

Click here to view provisional September 2019 timetable for Advanced Diploma in Legal Studies.
Legal Studies is a one year Diploma programme designed for those wishing to obtain foundation knowledge of the core principles of Irish Law, perhaps with a view to pursuing a career in the legal field. The Diploma is geared towards students from non-legal backgrounds, together with individuals working in the legal field who have no prior formal legal education.
The course will provide an introduction to the core aspects of Irish law and the legal system, as recognised by the legal profession. It is intended to provide an understanding of Constitutional Law Principles, Contract, Tort, Criminal and Company Law issues and the law as it relates to property in Ireland. Students will study the law from a practical perspective and classes will be based on theory combined with problem solving situations. Students may also wish to study a further two modules in order to be awarded the Advanced Diploma in Legal Studies. These eight modules are the areas in which students study in preparation for taking the Law Society Final Examination Part 1 (FE1) and so provide an excellent grounding for students coming from non legal backgrounds.
Each module has a 100% exam with students required to answer 5 out of 8 questions on topics discussed in class.
Over the course of this programme students will cover the following topics: separation of powers, constitutional interpretation, judicial review, constitutional rights, the Attorney General & Auditor General, Ireland as a nation, state and people, the constitutional relevance of foreign international law and the important constitutional role of the Irish president.
This module provides students with a comprehensive understanding of Irish Criminal Law. Over the course of nine lectures students examine the nature and definition of a crime, the burden and standard of proof applicable in criminal trials, rules of evidence and the defences available to an accused person. The course also explores the jurisdiction of the criminal courts in Ireland and examines the different types of crimes which exist including; fatal, non-fatal, sexual, property and public order offences.
The purpose of Company Law is to familiarise students with the formal requirements of incorporating a limited liability company, to outline the effect of incorporation, to explain the various categories of securities held by a company, as well as the role of various officers, including Directors and shareholders, in the management and day-to-day running of the company. The module also examines how a company can be liquidated.
The aim of this module is to provide students with an understanding of the various methods of ownership of property. It examines such areas as tenures, estates & equitable interests. The module also reviews the limitations of the Landlord and Tenant Acts and the Succession Acts and discusses the formal requirements of wills and the effect of intestacy (where no will is made).
Torts are concerned with civil wrongs whereby one party causes damage to another party. The module explains the nature and function of torts and then examines certain torts in detail, including negligence, product liability, trespass, defamation, nuisance and liability for animals and fire. The module also discusses the remedies available to a litigant who has suffered damage and the possible defences that can be claimed by the wrongdoer.
This module is aimed at providing students with a fundamental knowledge of how to create a legally binding contract, the formal requirements of a contract, the various factors that can vitiate consent in a contract, and how a contract can be lawfully discharged as well as the remedies available for breach of contract.
To be awarded the Advanced Diploma in Legal Studies students can take the following additional subjects:
This module will explore the history and evolution of the European project from its original incarnation as an economic community (i.e. European Economic Community (E.E.C.) to the much broader focus of the European Community and European Union. This will involve an examination of the various amending treaties through the years, up to and including the most recent amendments introduced by the Lisbon Treaty, as the EU seeks to deal with an array of challenges, such as the enlargement of the Union and globalisation, and to become more relevant to its citizens and more responsive to their concerns. The relationship between national and EC law will be examined along with the significant role of the European Court of Justice in developing the fundamental freedoms (e.g. free movement of goods and workers) and the general principles (e.g. fundamental rights and equality) upon which the legal order of the community is now based and without which the Community's objective of creating an internal market, characterised by the abolition, as between Member States, of obstacles to the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital, could never be realised.
The law of equity comprises a body of rules and principles developed by the Court of Chancery in order to mitigate the rigours of the common law. This module examines the general principles of equity, the law relating to private and public or charitable trusts and the administration of trusts, focusing on the powers and duties of trustees. It also covers equitable remedies such as injunctions, specific performance, rescission and rectification and examines the principles relating to tracing and proprietary estoppel.
The lecturing team consists of a team of staff that combine both academic qualifications with substantial practical legal experience, and this practical perspective is reflected in the delivery of the modules. A wide range of teaching techniques include lectures and class interaction, and case studies will form an integral part of the course.
Students who wish to complete the Advanced Diploma in Legal Studies can complete an additional two modules following completion of the Legal Studies diploma, and students can apply for these modules separately if they wish to continue their studies.
This programme will be of benefit to anybody seeking to further or even begin their legal education. Regardless of whether or not students wish to improve their employment opportunities, the core legal skills and understanding gained from the course will be beneficial to any person seeking further education in this area.
A number of students were employees of legal firms who wanted to obtain a legal qualification in order to advance their employment opportunities. Others were members of the Gardaí seeking career advancement. Some were employee with legal aid boards or involved in citizens advice organisations. Other students were simply interested in using the course to add to their CV and show an understanding of the Irish legal system with a qualification to support it.
The fee for the Diploma in Legal Studies is €2,000 (the fee for the Advanced Diploma is €2,590) .This is inclusive of tuition, registration, exam fees and DBS library membership. View all DBS Evening Diploma Fees here.

AstroDrizzle, a new task that replaces MultiDrizzle, is the flagship software for a new STSDAS package called DrizzlePac. The name "AstroDrizzle" is derived from Astrometric Drizzle to accentuate its new design, built from the ground-up, for improved handling of astrometry and geometric distortion.
Images processed by AstroDrizzle are essentially identical to those from MultiDrizzle. In some cases, AstroDrizzle-combined images are an improvement due to fixed MultiDrizzle bugs. Its most notable enhancements lie in the handling of astrometric information that is contained in images in the form of new header keywords, and for some instruments, new FITS extensions.
Distortion information is provided as linear distortion corrections and higher order polynomial distortion corrections, incorporated directly into the WCS of calibrated image headers using the Simple Image Polynomial (SIP) convention. Non- polynomial distortion corrections, required only for some instruments, are stored in look-up tables as FITS extensions. Therefore, references files are no longer needed for drizzling images, as was the case for MultiDrizzle. Multiple astrometric solutions, each uniquely-named, can now be stored in images. An astrometric solution can be extracted to a small FITS file called a "headerlet" for easy dispatch to collaborators working on the same image--they will be able to apply the headerlet to their copy of the image to use the same astrometric solution.
Other enhancements include the capability to save task parameters to "configuration files" that can be loaded back into AstroDrizzle for later use with the same or similar datasets. Users also have the capability to use several processors in parallel to speed up processing time when running AstroDrizzle.
drizzlepac is a suite of supporting tasks for astrodrizzle which include tweakreg and tweakback for aligning images in different visits; pixtopix for transforming a X,Y pixel position to its pixel position after distortion corrections; skytopix and pixtosky for transformations between X,Y pixel positions and sky coordinates.
TweakReg is a powerful new DrizzlePac task for aligning dithered images using point sources. It replaces TweakShifts in the Dither package. While HST images in a single visit are generally well-aligned, offsets as large as 0.5" can occur for the same pointing taken over different visits. TweakReg aligns calibrated (but still geometrically distorted) images by matching sources between an image and reference image or catalog. Source files for each image can be created in TweakReg using a routine similar to DAOFIND, or an existing catalog can be supplied by the user. For images heavy with cosmic rays, cosmic ray- cleaned images can often be generated by AstroDrizzle for use in TweakReg for improved source identification. Sources in an image are matched to those in the reference image or catalog using methods similar to the IRAF task xyxymatch. A fit is computed for the offset between each image and its reference. TweakReg may need to be run several times using different parameter values for source identification and statistical rejections until enough good sources can be measured to produce good offset fits. When the user is satisfied with the results, TweakReg is run one last time with the selected task parameter values to update the WCS information in the image headers.
TEAL (Task Editor and Launcher) is a new graphical user interface for displaying DrizzlePac task parameters. It is a particularly useful tool for new DrizzlePac users because dependencies between parameters are built into the code to help prevent user errors. From the TEAL interface, task parameters can be saved to uniquely-named "configuration files." These ASCII files can be loaded into the task for later processing, edited and renamed, and shared with collaborators.
Additional information is available in the DrizzlePac Handbook. The DrizzlePac website provides latest information about the software, supplemental materials not included in the handbook, and examples of how to use DrizzlePac tasks.

The Mid-Atlantic Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office works to protect the fishery and water resources of the Susquehanna River and Delaware River basins, and represents the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the Susquehanna River Basin Commission and the Delaware River Basin Commission.
The office focuses on the American shad, American eel, alewife, blueback herring, Atlantic and Shortnose sturgeon and horseshoe crab. All migratory and resident aquatic species, however, benefit from the habitat and water resource management work conducted by the office.
The office provides oversight for a multistate, federal and private effort to protect and restore American shad and other migratory fish to the Delaware and Susquehanna rivers. Work includes improving river connectivity in the Susquehanna River basin to provide access to historic spawning areas for migratory fish. The office works closely with dam-owners on relicensing mainstem Susquehanna River hyrdroelectric projects to minimize damage to the environment and to migratory fishes.
The office also works with the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to assess the status and health of migratory fish species, and makes recommendations for their protection, restoration and harvest.

Milner Sculpture, a photo by midgefrazel on Flickr.In River Bend Cemetery in Westerly, RI, is this lovely sculpture with a very large base. I cropped that out so you could see the detail.
Mother and Son
Mothers and sons are on my mind today, with now having two grandsons.
Yesterday, I was reading the book I bought about the granite industry in Westerly and much to my surprise there was information about this very monument. (Oddly, nothing about the family that paid for it but I will have to look into that!)
Milner Monument By John Francis Brines (1860-1905) [Built From Stone, The Story of the Westerly Granite Industry page 85]. His father was a stone cutter and John made this sculpture at a young age. He died at 44. Amazingly, I took his gravestone too without knowing it.
Taken in July on a picture perfect day, this is one of my favorite photos.

Arts Column with Conor Malone
This week's highlights
Caislean Oir is in the middle of its An Grianan run and continues nightly at 8pm til Saturday, with an afternoon showing at 2.30pm on Saturday. The Clearing opened at The Playhouse in Derry runs nightly at 8pm until Saturday.
Elsewhere, tonight is the third and final night of the Donegal Secondary Schools' Drama Festival at the Balor, Ballybofey. Tonight will feature students from: St Columba's College, Stranorlar; Royal and Prior, Raphoe; and Falcarragh Community School, as well as the final adjudication. There's more youth theatre at The Balor on Saturday, with the Balor Youth Theatre's end of season performance day, shows at 12 noon and 2pm.
The Balor hosts the Ballybofey & Stranorlar Women's Group Variety Concert on Friday. Acts include the Smith & McCarron School of Irish Dancing, Blue Ribbon dance troupe and Castlefinn Youth Drummers. All proceeds go to the very worthy causes of Little Angels, Letterkenny and the Twin Towns branch of Saint Vincent de Paul.
The comedy juggernaut that is Conal Gallen's A Bit On The side rolls into The Alley, Strabane for three nights – this Friday to Sunday - while Christy Moore and Declan Sinnott play The Millennium Forum in Derry on Friday and Saturday. The music of Rory Gallagher is celebrated in Band Of Friends at An Grianan, Letterkenny on Sunday.
Brendan at The Chelsea tells the story of Brendan Behan at New Yorks legendary Chelsea Hotel next Tuesday and Wednesday at The Millennium in Derry. Maire - A Woman of Derry is at The Alley, Strabane next week and Guaranteed!, Fishamble's topical look into the banking fiasco – is at An Grianan, Letterkenny next Wednesday.
Is it really that time of year again? Oh yes it is. (Oh no it isn't!) Em, yes, it actually is. It's time for the Balor's annual panto which is pretty much the unofficial start of Christmas in the Twin Towns.
This year's offering is Sinbad The Sailor. It's a tale of the good, the bad and the beautiful as our hero Sinbad must escape the clutches of the wicked Hedes and win the hand of the beautiful Princess Almira. They're joined by a cast of thousands (slight exaggeration, it's actually about 50) including comedy duo Scratch & Sniff, the Goddess Aphrodite, The Grand Vizier Samir, a witch doctor, Cyclops, Medusa and a chorus of Sailors, Villagers, Sirens, Islanders and Demons for a show in the best traditions of pantomime – full of laughter, romance, singing and dancing, both on the high seas and in the underworld.
The Butt Drama Circle, and especially director Kathleen McGowan and musical director Kathleen Browne, do Trojan work for this show every year and it really is a Christmas institution at this stage. And this year, with reduced pricing, it's arguably the best value entertainment in the country,
Sinbad The Sailor opens on Saturday week, November 23 and runs for two weeks, finishing on Friday, December 6. The Saturday and Sunday shows are at 4pm with the weeknight shows at 8pm. There are no shows on Mondays. Tickets are just €10 for adults, €6 for children with a family ticket (1 adults and 2 children) available for €30. Group rates for large parties are also available on request. For booking, quotes and general information contact The Balor Box Office on 074 913 1840.
In the Nama The Father
If you accept that one of the functions of art is to hold a mirror up to society then it's surprising and somewhat disappointing that Ireland's economic crisis hasn't spawned more work. After all, the bank guarantee, Anglo and the loss of economic sovereignty that followed is arguably the most momentous event in Irish history since the civil war. The fear is there's a certain self censorship in operation here. With arts organisations around the country living in fear of funding cuts, it's safer to remount work that addresses crises from a hundred years ago rather than risk offending the powers that be (and hold the purse strings) by commentating on contemporary ones.
Fishamble: The New Play Company and author Colin Murphy are to be commended therefore for Guaranteed! – the play about the bank guarantee that comes to An Grianan next week. It's a play in three acts – the first act gives us Seanie Fitzpatrick rhapsodising about Anglo while Bertie Ahern engages in auction politics – outbidding his rivals for votes in the General Election.
The second act portrays the growing frenzy of September 2008 as Lehman's collapses and Irish banks are brought to the brink. On September 29, in a bid to save Anglo and the Irish economy, the government make the now infamous decision to pass the Bank Guarantee. Like any good tragedy, we know what's going to happen. But there's real drama in seeing the characters trying to escape or ignore it.
When the lights go up, the cast leaves and a small panel comes on stage to discuss and debate with the audience.
Guaranteed! premiered this summer fortuitously at the same time as the Anglo tapes were released – you can't buy marketing like that. It really touched a nerve, selling out everywhere with the president and the governor of the Central Bank among those who came to see it. Now it comes to An Grianan, Letterkenny and, it really is a must see. It may be the closest thing we'll ever get to a banking enquiry.
Guaranteed! is at An Grianan next Wednesday, November 20 at 8pm. Tickets are €15 (€12 concession) and are available from An Grianan on 074 912 0777 or online at www.angrianan.com
Messin' with The Kid
Rory Gallagher may have only spent the first couple of months of his life in Donegal – he was born in Ballyshannon before his family moved first to Derry and then to Cork – but that's never stopped us celebrating him as one of our own.
Band Of Friends comes to An Grianan Theatre, Letterkenny this weekend, celebrating the life and music of the guitar legend. This is more than just a tribute act. It features bassist Gerry McAvoy who played with Rory for 20 years – 1971 to 1991 – playing on every album he ever made. Drummer Ted McKenna powered Gallagher's live shows between '77 and '81, also appearing on the Photo Finish, Top Priority and Stage Struck albums. No pressure then on Dutch guitarist/vocalist Marcel Scherpenzeel who has some pretty big shoes to fill. Although, if Gerry and Ted are happy that he's the nearest thing you'll get to Rory Gallagher, that should be enough for the rest of us.
Band Of Friends play the music of the late, great Rory Gallagher this Sunday at 8pm at An Grianan, Letterkenny. Tickets are €20 available from An Grianan on 074 912 0777 or online at www.angrianan.com
Letterkenny One Act Drama Festival
The inaugural Letterkenny One Act Drama Festival takes place in An Grianan Theatre next week. It's a three night festival, Thursday to Saturday with nine one act plays from as far away as Cork, Athlone and Clare. Three groups will perform each night with the final adjudication by Larry McCluskey taking place on the Saturday. Performances will last between 15 and 40 minutes, with the first play at 7.30pm nightly.
This is a completely new venture for drama enthusiasts in Letterkenny and kudos are due to the 10-person voluntary committee who have worked tirelessly over the past months to bring the festival to fruition.
The festival schedule is as follows. Thursday will see Two Bridges Theatre Group, Strabane perform Pinky's Promise followed by Phoenix Players, Tubercurry with Anastasia and Amphitheatre from Clares production of Effie's Burning.
Stagefright Theatre Co. Omagh open the second night with Reports Are Coming In. Haulbowline Theatre Group have made the journey all the way from Cork with their production of One Season's King and Corn Mill Theatre Group, Carrigallen perform Shoebox and Whiskey.
The third and final night kicks off with Tell Me, courtesy of At Large Theatre group, Dublin. Next off is Athlone Little Theatre, performing With Bells On and City Limits, Dublin bring the festival to a close with Semper Fidelis.
So that's nine performances over three nights – Thursday to Saturday, November 21 to 23, at 7.30pm nightly. Admission is great value at only €8 per night. Or, if you become a friend of the festival for the princely sum of €25, you'll receive two tickets for each night (which is €48 worth of tickets if my maths is correct). Contact An Grianan on 074 912 0777 for bookings and more information.

We had a lovely weekend down in East Yorkshire for the annual Hornsea Carnival. Travelled down on Friday morning and after a couple of stops arrived mid afternoon at my brother Andy's house. He was on holiday in Greece so we didn't actually catch up with him and Janet but it was much appreciated letting us stay for the weekend – hope we didn't leave too much of a mess!
A brief history of the Carnival can be found here. The Friday night Carnival events usually take place on the seafront but this year the whole weekend took place in Hornsea's Hall Garth Park. So after popping in to see my mum we headed down to the park to go on the waltzers and watch the fireworks.
Saturday saw us meeting up with some of my old school friends, some of whom I'd not seen for many years, outside the Rose & Crown pub to watch the Carnival parade. As we walked down to the town centre a clown with a unicycle over his shoulder ran past us, obviously late for the start of the procession. At the same time a fire engine, also heading for the start stopped and offered him a lift! Absolutely priceless!
After a couple of pints and a good chat about camping trips from the seventies we headed to the park for more rides and live music. OK it's not T in the Park or Glastonbury but it was still very enjoyable.
That evening Ian and Hilary invited us up to their place for a Barbeque. Again it was good to catch up with old friends and enjoy Ian's excellent home made real ale. I'm not exaggerating when I say if I'd been served it in a pub I would not have complained, superb!
We headed back on Sunday having thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Hello everyone! I'm so excited about December and doing crafts with my students. December is an emotional time of year for my families and I love working on building memories. I hope you enjoy this as well. So many crafts to do related to the common core.
Here is one of the fun Christmas Tree crafts that I found on Pinterest! The picture to the left is one of my favorites from colorsofmyday.wordpress.com! The picture on the right is what we started creating today for one of our math centers. Our learning target was to design a tree using triangles and a rectangle. They were to decorate their trees with different types of art materials. They are also to describe the triangle and rectangle and tell the difference between the two. Tomorrow they will use a brush technique to dob snow all over their paper using white paint. If you click on the picture, it will take you to my Pinterest page full of Christmas Crafts activities you can do with your students during this wonderful season.
Here is the final version with snow on them! :-) I love how they turned out.
The kids really enjoyed creating these trees!Decentas y unidades. Here the students are using shapes to create a design. We are focusing on the number 10 this week, so they can only use 10 geometric shapes. This was hard for some as they really wanted to add more shapes to "FINISH" their pictures. I told them that they can only use 10 shapes! Next week they would create another design using 11 shapes. On the back side of their page they have to show 3 other ways to create "10." Writing numbers 1-10, writing equations that equal 10, and then gluing a popscicle stick down and gluing 10 beans to their stick. It was a hit and the kids really took their time.
And Tis the Season to give... here is a link to all of my Freebies on my TPT page! :-) Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful and joyous season!
FOREVER FREEBIES from my TPT Store! :-)

Gulf Coast Fishermen Challenge US Government Over Dispersants
Photo by Erika Blumenfeld © 2010
Commercial fishing communities in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida have united to demand that local, state and federal agencies force BP to discontinue the use of toxic dispersants and conduct better testing before reopening fishing waters.
"We need to get our government to get a handle on this situation and shut down our fishing waters until they test for dispersants and get the use of dispersants stopped unless they can prove to us they are not harmful," Kathy Birren, a spokesperson for commercial fishermen in Florida, told Truthout. "We are seeing fish kills. They [US Government and BP] are covering this all up."
Since the BP oil disaster began in late April, the secretary of Louisiana's Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) was granted emergency powers to open and close fishing areas. The department recently announced the opening of three shrimp management zones for August 16. These areas include zones that have been severely affected by the oil disaster. Dates were also set to open fishing for sea trout and harvesting oysters.
These moves are being questioned by commercial fishermen, who are skeptical of the motives of the state and federal governments' decision to begin reopening fishing areas that had been closed by the oil disaster.
Clint Guidry is a Louisiana fisherman and on the board of directors of the Louisiana Shrimp Association, as well as being the shrimp harvester representative on the Louisiana Shrimp Task Force created by Executive Order of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
"The government, both state and federal, is pushing to open all these fishing areas back up and say it is OK, but this is a load of shit," Guidry, who is from Lafitte, Louisiana, told Truthout. "It's not OK. They claim 75 percent of the oil is gone or accounted for, but there's still oil coming in. There is more oil in many of our bays, right now, than there has ever been."
Guidry and Birren believe it is far too early for the state or federal governments to allow fishing to resume without more testing for oil and dispersant contamination.
"The government is not testing fish for dispersant," Birren, who is from Hernando Beach, Florida, said. She pointed out that while the west coast of Florida remains largely unaffected by the oil disaster so far, she is concerned about how the Gulf seafood market is being deleteriously affected by the oil disaster.
Her main concern is with the health of people living on the Coast. Another of her concerns is that, without better testing, if contaminated seafood is sold and makes someone sick, the entire market will collapse. "We know the only test they are doing is a smell test on fish," Birren added, "There are lots of things you can be hurt by you can't smell. You're taking these fish and shrimp and putting them on the market and all of the sudden you have a very serious situation. Our fish are healthy, but if other Gulf States are putting contaminated seafood on the market, we'll lose our market and the trust in the industry. They've opened up many fishing areas very recently and it's all in the name of money and minimizing BP's liability."
Regarding BP, Birren said, "They are letting the person who committed the crime clean up the crime scene."
Along with Birren and Guidry, commercial fishermen from Alabama and Mississippi met last week in Biloxi to discuss other unresolved problems associated with the BP oil disaster such as the difficulty of processing claims, unfair hiring practices of the BP Vessels of Opportunity (VOO) Program and lack of jobs.
In the wake of the Deepwater Horizon explosion on April 20, more than 30,000 commercial fishermen and seafood industry related jobs have been lost. Shrimp factories and processors are refusing to buy daily catches due to the negative perceptions of health hazards regarding Gulf seafood.
This newfound alliance of Gulf Coast commercial fishermen is also concerned with the overall health of the Gulf Coast fisheries, as they feel they have been "forever altered as 2 million gallons of chemical dispersants have been sprayed. Studies have shown dispersants mixed with oil are more hazardous than oil itself due to ability for spawning fish to consume small droplets of oil."
Fishermen in the four aforementioned states are also concerned about the BP claim process, stating that it has become "increasingly difficult as no documentation is given to claimant," and, "individual claim amounts have decreased by 80%."
Demands of the commercial fishing community from Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida include closing "all fisheries waters until harvests go through chemical dispersant testing," as well as having "the EPA and Coast Guard to discontinue current chemical dispersant use and test all seafood and fisheries with updated testing protocols." The group also wants local commercial fishermen to be hired and trained "for all hazardous testing initiatives and clean-up work in a culturally competent manner," and for "Federal, state and local agencies to develop community based health centers to service at-risk seafood industry population, administer blood tests for those who are exposed to dispersants and oil-clean up."
The main concern right now is that the federal government is continuing to allow BP to use the toxic dispersants.
Hugh Kaufman, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) whistleblower, who has been warning about the high toxicity of the dispersants BP has been using with both Coast Guard and EPA approval, stated on "MSNBC" on August 4:
"The dispersants, mixed with the oil and the water, is extremely toxic. The only real purpose of using so many dispersants on the oil is to cover up the volume of oil that was released from that well. That and lying about how much [oil] was coming out, was a mechanism to help BP save billions of dollars in fines."
Kaufman went on to say that dispersants should never have been used and added, "I was listening to some of the 'experts' at universities being paid by BP who are saying that the oil has disappeared. It hasn't disappeared. It's throughout thousands of square miles in the Gulf mixed with the dispersants. And because the temperatures down there are so cold, they're going to be around for decades."
Kaufman's concerns mirror those of the commercial fisherman, as he concluded, "We've now poisoned thousands of square miles of the Gulf and we have to recognize that and take precautions so that we can minimize the damages we have done."
Guidry is also calling for immediate testing for dispersants before any fisheries can be opened in the Gulf. "Without any clear cut scientific testing that would say it [fish/shrimp] is safe from dispersants, we can't do this," he explained, "The oil didn't just go away overnight and they have huge concerns about the cleanup."
Guidry told Truthout that all the commercial spokespeople at the meeting last week shared this concern: "It seems the feds are more concerned with limiting BP's liability than anything else."
Guidry feels that, so far, all of the interim National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health reports "are covering up health problems. There is an effort by BP and the feds to relieve BP of the responsibility of paying respiratory illness claims. We're going to wind up with a bunch of sick people across the Gulf before this is over and they'll have no recourse. It's already happening. Some of the fishermen who went to West Jefferson hospital when this thing first started, they were out at the source and they were chemically exposed. That just got covered up like it was nothing and blamed on food, heat stress, but it was like it all went away and they buried it. We're going to see health problems in the next five to 20 years and BP is relieved of the responsibility and I just don't think that is right."
Birren also told Truthout she is concerned that the state of Florida might be playing a role in allowing BP to continue to use dispersants in order to hide the oil from tourists in an effort to protect the state's multi-billion dollar tourist industry. She said that supposedly BP had stopped using the dispersants, "But we have fishermen in the VOO program taking pictures of them using it and people still getting sick from exposure. They are hiring companies to come in and use dispersant at night. You see the oil in the day and then next morning it's gone. The government isn't pushing to have this stopped even though they know this is going on. They are doing it because of money and our economy."
Birren also told Truthout that fishermen she knows, who are speaking out against BP dispersant practices, "are getting death threats and notes on their cars saying you better watch out, because there are people above us who want to keep this quiet. But I know entire families who are sick because of the dispersants."
Birren does not believe the crisis is over and believes the Gulf and inland waters have been "prematurely re-opened to fishing."
She and the coalition of commercial fishermen she and Guidry are a part of are concerned about the credibility of Gulf Coast fishermen being damaged by contaminated seafood being delivered to the market. Birren also wrote, "As fisherman, we know that the use of dispersants has made this crisis vastly worse for everyone. It is time that government step up and protect us, our Gulf and the American public from further and possibly irreversible harm."
"It's now down to regular people like me trying to do what the government should be doing to take care of us," she told Truthout. "It's awful, it's really bad. If Obama is not going to be a strong enough president to protect us, we'll have to do it ourselves. We're on our own down here."
Guidry told Truthout that fishermen he is talking with are reporting the ongoing use of dispersants as well. "They [US Government] are trying to just let BP off and this is like nothing I've seen before," he explained. "People with that much money that can bury the American people with the blessing of the federal government. They [BP] can buy all the local, state and federal officials and the crisis is still happening. The feds and BP are wishing it away. I wish we could do that, but we can't. There's going to be a lot of hard work, suffering and misery before this is over and it's not over by a long shot."

Gathering the stories of these courageous men and women, Jamail shows us that far from "supporting our troops," politicians have betrayed them at every turn. Finally, Jamail shows us that the true heroes of the criminal tragedy of the Iraq War are those brave enough to say no.

Photos from inside a jet aircraft just as it collided with Air France flight 447 – Fiction!
Photos from inside a jet aircraft just as it collided with Air France flight 447 – Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
A forwarded email with photos said to have been taken inside the cabin of a Boeing 737 as it collided with with Air France flight 447 going from Rio De Janeiro to Paris.
The Truth:
The photos are a hoax. These images are not from an airline disaster but taken from the pilot episode the popular ABC television program "Lost." Similar images can be found on the ABC Lost web site.
Air France flight 447 was reported missing after it encountered towering thunderstorm and the Airbus 330 aircraft cashed into the Atlantic off the coast of Brazil in June 2009. The incident is still being investigated.
The lack of focus and poor depth of field in the photos leads us to believe that the images were very most likely electronically snipped from a YouTube video of the Lost pilot episode that was posted on the internet.
updated 6/17/09
A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:
Yesterday the world saw the disappearance of an A330 Air France during a trans Atlantic flight between Rio to Paris
Two shots taken inside the plane before it crashed. Unbelievable! Photos taken inside the GOL B 737 aircraft that was involved in a mid air collision and crashed…..
These photos were found in a digital Casio Z750, amidst the remains in Serra do Cachimbo. Although the camera was destroyed, the Memory Stick was recovered. Investigating the serial number of the camera the owner could be identified, as Paulo G. Muller, an actor of a theatre for children known in the outskirts of Porto Alegre.It can be imagined that he was standing during the impact with the Embraer Legacy, and during the turbulence he managed to take these photos, seconds after the tail loss the aircraft plunged, so the camera was found near the cockpit. the structural stress probably ripped the engines away, diminishing the falling speed, protecting the electronic equipment but not, unfortunately, the victims. Paulo Muller leaves behind two daughters, Bruna and Beatriz, from a previous relationship.
The two photos attached above were apparently taken by one of the passengers in the B737, after the collision and before the aircraft crashed.. The photos were retrieved from the camera's memory stick. You will never get to see photos like this. In the first photo there is a gaping hole in the fuselage through which you can see the tailplane and vertical fin of the aircraft.
In the second photo one of the passengers is being sucked out of the gaping hole. Photos taken inside the plane.

Nancy & Arsone……the love story that these two share is remarkable! Arsone and Nancy were together and in love when tragedy struck. An accident left Arsone in terrible shape with amnesia. So Nancy helped to get him back to a state of normal and the two fell in love all over again! Not only is this beyond romantic…..these two were blessed! I can not wrap my brain around why these two found each other, but they did…..and on this day they began the rest of their life together as husband and wife.
The ceremony took place at the stunning Saint Edith Stein in Brockton Mass and the reception followed at The Lantana in Randolph.
It was a great night filled with not only dancing but singing as well! Arsone & Nancy had surprise songs they had chosen to sing to one another! Romantic I know!!!!!!!
I wish nothing but the best for these two and look forward to working again at this venue!

Eta Carinae Light Echo Brightening - May 10, 2010
The double-star system Eta Carinae, about 120 times more massive than the Sun, produced a spectacular outburst that was seen on Earth from 1837 to 1858. This image shows the light from Eta Carinae's outburst illuminating the dust clouds near the doomed star system as it moves through them. The effect is like shining a flashlight on different regions of a vast cavern. The image was taken in March 2010 with the NOAO Optical Astronomy Observatory's Blanco 4-meter telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile.

Remember in high school how there were the cool kids and the geeks? And that many of the geeks secretly wanted to hang out with the cool kids? Well, I think of this whenever I'm asked whether or not senior marketers are embracing Google+.
Look, there's no question marketing executives have taken to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and (arguably) Pinterest. And these same marketers are flirting with the newest cool kids on the block: Instagram and Vine… but what about Google+?
Second largest social network in the world
According to Google, Google+ boasts over 500M registered users, with about 135M actively posting updates, either directly or by clicking the "+1" button on content and search results. And since its introduction during the summer of 2011, Google+ has grown into the second largest social network in the world after Facebook.
I've also read many of the same posts you have by Chris Brogan, Guy Kawasaki, and the like, telling us marketers to embrace Google+ for reasons such as Google controls the "search" strings (truthfully, that's why I'm on the platform) and how its added so much functionality (Google hangouts, anyone?). Not to mention, this "in the know" crowd is spending more and more time on Google+… and writing books on the subject.
Why aren't senior marketers jumping on the Google+ bandwagon?
With that said, why is it that whenever I have conversations with senior marketers about what they're doing on Google+ I get yawns (literally)? Some of these folks haven't even set up brand pages for their companies yet. And for the ones that have, their Google+ pages look like ghost towns. Ironically, I end up being the person evangelizing Google+ to them!
So what's keeping senior marketers from jumping on the Google+ bandwagon? This is what I hear most often:
- No compelling reason to be on Google+
- Already on the other social networks and don't need another one
- Tried it but gave up since nothing really was going on there
- Not a real social experience so was boring
- Not intuitive and too hard to understand
What's my take on why marketing executives may not be active on Google+? I think each of the popular social networks has a distinct purpose in the mind of marketers. Facebook is for engaging with friends and family; LinkedIn is all about being connected in case you need a new job; while Twitter is about staying current and building an audience.
How about Google+?
Do it if you want to show up higher in search results? Intellectually this is a compelling reason. No doubt. But probably not the emotional driver necessary to keep senior marketers plugging away at building a network on Google+… let alone being active in engaging in conversations and sharing content on the platform.
Of course, I could be wrong and maybe most marketing executives are embracing Google+. Truthfully, the marketing decision makers I talk to on a regular basis work at startups and B2B companies. Not exactly a random sample of marketing executives.
Not in the top 10 of social networks cross-posting to Twitter
With that said, our recent report on Marketing Executives on Twitter offers insight into how popular Google+ is compared to other social networks. What does the report show? That Google+ is not even in the top ten social and content networks that cross-post to Twitter… while LinkedIn, Instagram, Vine, Facebook, and Pinterest were all on the list.
Of course, what really matters is whether or not senior marketers are missing a big opportunity by not embracing Google+. You need to be your own judge… but it may be worth noting that many of those geeks you grew up with probably did pretty well for themselves.
What do you think? Are you a senior marketer active on Google+? Let us know how you think it compares to other social networks you use.

National Geographic Society: Inviting Applicants for Making the Case for Nature Programme
National Geographic Society: Inviting Applicants for Making the Case for Nature Programme
Deadline: 4 April 2018
One of the greatest challenges in addressing environmental issues is that simply communicating the science is often insufficient to inspire action. How might visual artists, photographers, and videographers more effectively create and use images or video to overcome apathy towards species and ecosystems?
National Geographic Society is currently inviting applicants for its program entitled "Making the Case for Nature" to advance the field of science communication by determining a more effective way to market nature anD inspire action.
Priority will be given to projects that aim to do one or more of the following: Propose an interdisciplinary collaboration of a scientist (including social scientists) and a visual artist, photographer, or videographer to quantify impact of visual communication via different channels (e.g., Instagram)
Engage students in identifying and implementing effective strategies for communicating about nature
Use social marketing principles to inform the approach Study how the human brain responds to nature imagery Measure audience engagement and test the effectiveness of different communication approaches as part of a storytelling proposal. Demonstrate increased engagement among targe audiences (e.g. decision makers, students, etc.) on the chosen topic
Funding Information
Typical proposal requests should be less than $30,000. Applicants may request up to $50,000, of which up to 20 percent of the total can be used as a stipend for the applicant or team members. All applications should explicitly review what has already been accomplished on the topic and state the plan for evaluating the impact of the work.
Eligibility Criteria
National Geographic Society seeks proposals from around the world that advance the science of nature communication by systematically testing visual communication and education methods; visualizing complex data; communicating about an environmental issue; or developing new education methods for reaching learners of all ages.
How to Apply
Applicants can apply via given website. For more information, please visit Making the Case for Nature.
