Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Patrick O'Donovan TD, today announced 419 primary schools nationwide have been awarded the SFI Curious Minds Award 2024. Led by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), the programme aims to increase interest in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) among primary school students, parents, and teachers nationwide in a fun, engaging way. Announcing the 2024 Curious Minds Awards at a visit to Kilbehenny National School, Knockrour, Kilbehenny, Co. Limerick (Platinum award-winners), Minister O'Donovan said: "I am delighted to announce the winners of this year's SFI Curious Minds Awards. Congratulations to all involved - your individual and collective dedication and effort has paid off! Curiosity about science provides the building blocks to explore new ideas, increase knowledge and even unearth discoveries. I want to thank the schools and teachers who have facilitated such enthusiastic and productive participation among their students." The SFI Curious Minds Awards celebrate and recognise the participation of schools in hands-on, inquiry-based learning in STEM. Since launching twenty years ago, the programme has seen students exploring a wide range of STEM activities, from investigating renewable energy, egg drop challenges, growing vegetables, launching rockets, mini-beast hunts, learning about materials and maths through baking, design and make challenges, marble runs, enhancing their technology skills through coding, and using STEM to solve everyday problems. The Awards offer three categories for applicants: The Silver Award is aimed at schools starting out on the STEM journey and involves a minimum of two classes. The Gold Award, which is for schools further along their STEM journey, involves at least half of the classes in the school. The Platinum Award is for schools that have already achieved the Gold Award and want to challenge themselves to further integrate STEM into the school culture. This year, 47 schools received the Silver Award, 346 schools achieved the Gold Award, and 26 schools accomplished the Platinum Award. The schools' achievements were celebrated in classrooms across the country during a virtual SFI Curious Minds Awards Ceremony held this morning, Friday, 14 June 2024. TV presenters Gráinne Bleasdale and Phil Smyth hosted a live-streamed event, which featured a number of exciting experiments. Commenting on the awards, Dr Ruth Freeman, Director of Science for Society at SFI, said: "The SFI Curious Minds Awards are a true highlight of the year and reward the active and ongoing involvement of thousands of pupils nationwide in STEM-related activities. The winners' interest in STEM inspires other pupils - both younger and older - to get and stay curious, all of which helps to build a culture and community of exploration and learning." The SFI Curious Minds programme supplies tools to empower schools in teaching science, technology, engineering and Maths, allowing teachers to spark fun and curiosity both inside and outside the classroom. SFI, in conjunction with the European Space Education Resource Office (ESERO), offers free continuous professional development (CPD) in STEM for primary school teachers, as well as curriculum-linked STEM classroom resources. The programme explores STEM topics through inquiry-based learning. The programme also offers a varied selection of Department of Education-approved summer courses with partners like ESERO Ireland, MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory and Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). Applicants who complete a summer course will be eligible for EPV days. Registration for the 2024/2025 Academic Year SFI Curious Minds Awards will open in September 2024. Registration for the CPD courses for 2024/2025 are open now. For more information on the SFI Curious Minds programme, please visit www.curiousminds.ie or contact the team on curiousminds@sfi.ie.
Alan Bleasdale, the Liverpudlian screenwriter and playwright, is in the spotlight this week as a stage version of his iconic 1980's TV series 'Boys from the Blackstuff' opened at the National Theatre. Born in Liverpool, an only child who first went into teaching, his first public work was 'Scully' for Radio Merseyside, a kind of Liverpudlian Adrian Mole, which he wrote whilst he was still teaching. But it was 'Boys from the Blackstuff' that made him a household name with one of the characters, Yosser Hughes' line 'Gissa job' providing a chant on the stands of his beloved Liverpool Football Club. His work has courted controversy with successive governments, although he says he's not political, only voting for the first time at the age of 38. Now in his late 70's and 40 years on from the original television series, he's back in the spotlight. Stephen Smith talks to friends and colleagues about his work, phobias and how to tell if you're having a heart attack.

Renowned wine writer Huon Hooke previously appeared on the Drinks Adventures podcast way back in Season One, in an episode exploring Australians' love affair with champagne.He's finally back for this full-length chat about The Real Review Wine Classification, which launched in 2022 aiming to highlight the greatest wines of Australia and New Zealand that have an outstanding track record of a decade or longer.Huon and I discuss the fresh approach he's taken to classifying wine versus other established frameworks; and how this helps bring emerging producers to the fore, as well as wine styles and regions that might be less fashionable, but are nevertheless extremely high quality.Case in point, the wineries of Langhorne Creek in South Australia; Bleasdale, Lake Breeze and Bremerton. The latter of those three wineries slipped Huon's mind during our conversation, and he contacted me afterwards to see if this omission could be addressed.The Real Review was launched in 2016 to provide unbiased, independent reviews on wine.I started by asking Huon whether the classification has always been on the founders' agenda.Click here to open episode in your podcast player.

Bring a dish to share. 605 Long Branch Rd, Lancaster, TN Tales from the Prepper Pantry All tomatoes ripen at once as predicted Time to harvest and dry mint - (The creek mint is prolific) Hoping to be canning green beans or corn or salsa this weekend Frugality Tip TIME SAVER This tip saves time, which IS money, right? If you think this idea applies to your Frugality Tip section, here's what I got: I have a printout of all of the recipes that I use frequently. It's called my Frequent Recipes Cheat Sheet. ALL of the recipes (at least 50) are on 1 sheet of paper (front and back). They're not detailed at all, just the ingredients and oven temp, basically. Since I make them so often, I don't need all of the individual steps. This saves me tons of time because I don't have to look up recipes on my phone, computer, or big ole recipe book. Bonus tips: you can keep it in a plastic sheet protector so it doesn't get dirty, AND you can use a magnetic clip to hang it or stick it to your upper cabinet handle right in front of your face while you're cooking. Saves me so.much.time. Operation Independence Working on a video project with Billy Bond from footage gathered at the Swale Workshop.

Running a marathon can be hard, even more so when you're injured. Back in October 2021, Emily ran her first marathon where she encountered a number of obstacles related to an ongoing injury. It left her feeling mentally (and physically) defeated and is something she's spent the last few months trying to process. In this episode, Emily is joined by coach and friend of the podcast, Lillie Bleasdale, to discuss her experience of the marathon, the mental and physical side of recovery, and why you shouldn't compare yourself to other runners.Host: Emily JonesGuest: Lillie BleasdaleMusic: Cali by WataboiFind out more about Run Panthera by visiting the website or become a Patron.

Did you know that selling raw milk is illegal in 18 U.S. states? Much of the food our grandparents took for granted is now banned in what we call the land of the free. The argument? That processed food is much healthier and safer. Thanks, government. While you may get dizzy checking out the list of recent industrial food product recalls, due to contamination.

And after buying veggies and milk from him for a few months, he gave us some of the best fresh venison we've ever tasted in our lives. It was out of this world. On today's show with Bradley, you're about to learn: How the ridiculous raw milk controversy ruined our Food Freedom Immune benefits of raw versus high temp pasteurization and homogenization The secret to the best tasting fresh venison in the world And tons more... Let's go hang out with Brad.

The internationally acclaimed and award-winning photojournalist Marcus Bleasdale has a spread in the latest issue of National Geographic magazine from his collection of photos documenting the conflict in the Central African Republic. His work in CAR is a good demonstration of how Marcus puts his significant talents to work in the service of human rights around the world. We kick off with an extended conversation about the conflict in CAR and how he want about documenting. Marcus started out his career as a banker in London, but the conflict in the Balkans in the 1990s inspired him to change career paths in a very dramatic way. He describes that transition as well as some of his work in the DRC and Sierra Leone. And I also want to thank Marcus for opening up about the PTSD and the emotional impact of his work to his own well-being.

Verity Ann Lambert, ( – ) was an and . She is best known as the founding producer of the , a programme which has become a part of British . Lambert was a pioneer woman in ; when she was appointed to Doctor Who in 1963 she was the youngest producer, and only female drama producer, working at the . Lambert began working in television in the 1950s, and continued to work as a producer up until the year she died. After leaving the BBC in 1969, she worked for other television companies, notably and in the 1970s and 80s. She also worked in the film industry, for , and from 1985 ran her own production company, . In addition to Doctor Who, she produced , , , , , , and . The 's website describes Lambert as "one of those producers who can often create a fascinating small screen universe from a slim script and half-a-dozen congenial players." The website of the hails her as "not only one of Britain's leading businesswomen, but possibly the most powerful member of the nation's entertainment industry ... Lambert has served as a symbol of the advances won by women in the media". News of her death came on the 44th anniversary of the first showing of Doctor Who. Contents [] // [] Early career in independent television Lambert was born in , the daughter of a accountant, and educated at . She left Roedean at sixteen and studied at the in for a year, and at a secretarial college in London for eighteen months. She later credited her interest in the structural and characterisational aspects of scriptwriting to an inspirational English teacher. Lambert's first job was typing menus at the Kensington De Vere Hotel, which employed her because she had been to and could speak . In , she entered the television industry as a secretary at 's press office. She was sacked from this job after six months. 's studios at in , where Lambert worked in the late 1950s. Following her dismissal from Granada, Lambert took a job as a typist at . She soon became the secretary to the company's Head of Drama, and then a production secretary working on a programme called State Your Case. She then moved from administration to production, working on drama programming on ABC's popular anthology series . Armchair Theatre was overseen at the time by the company's new Head of Drama, producer . On , while Lambert was working as a production assistant on Armchair Theatre, actor died off-screen just prior to a scene in which he was to appear during a broadcast of the hour-long play "Underground". Lambert had to take control of directing the cameras from the as director hastily worked with the actors during a commercial break to accommodate the loss. In 1961 Lambert left ABC, spending a year working as the personal assistant to television producer at the independent production company in . Returning to England, she rejoined ABC with an ambition to direct, but got stuck as a production assistant, and decided that if she could not find advancement within a year she would abandon television as a career. [] BBC career In December 1962 Sydney Newman left ABC to take up the position of Head of Drama at , and the following year Lambert joined him at the Corporation. Newman had recruited her to produce , a programme he had personally initiated. Conceived by Newman as an educational science-fiction series for children, the programme concerned the adventures of a crotchety old man travelling through space and time with his sometimes unwilling companions in . The show was a risk, and in some quarters not expected to last longer than thirteen weeks. Although Lambert was not Newman's first choice to produce the series — and had both declined the position — the Canadian was very keen to ensure that Lambert took the job after his experience of working with her at ABC. "I think the best thing I ever did on that was to find Verity Lambert," he told in 1993. "I remembered Verity as being bright and, to use the phrase, full of piss and vinegar! She was gutsy and she used to fight and argue with me, even though she was not at a very high level as a production assistant." When Lambert arrived at the BBC in June , she was initially given a more experienced associate producer, , to assist her. Doctor Who debuted on and quickly became a success for the BBC, chiefly on the popularity of the alien creatures known as . Lambert's superior, Head of Serials , had strongly advised against using the script in which the Daleks first appeared, but after the serial's successful airing, he said that Lambert clearly knew the series far better than he did, and he would no longer interfere in her decisions. The success of Doctor Who and the Daleks also garnered press attention for Lambert herself; in 1964, the published a feature on the series focusing on the perceived attractiveness of its young producer: "The operation of the Daleks ... is conducted by a remarkably attractive young woman called Verity Lambert who, at 28, is not only the youngest but the only female drama producer at B.B.C. TV... [T]all, dark and shapely, she became positively forbidding when I suggested that the Daleks might one day take over Dr. Who." Lambert oversaw the first two seasons of the programme, eventually leaving in 1965. "There comes a time when a series need new input," she told Doctor Who Magazine thirty years later. "It's not that I wasn't fond of Doctor Who, I simply felt that the time had come. It had been eighteen very concentrated months, something like seventy shows. I know people do soaps forever now, but I felt Doctor Who needed someone to come in with a different view." In the 2007 Doctor Who episode "", the Doctor (as John Smith) refers to his parents as Sydney and Verity, a tribute to both Newman and Lambert. She moved on to produce another BBC show created by Newman, the swashbuckling action-adventure series (1966–67). The long development period of Adam Adamant delayed its production, and during this delay Newman gave her the initial episodes of a new , , to produce. Further productions for the BBC included a season of the crime drama Detective (1968–69) and a twenty-six-part series of adaptations of the stories of (1969). During this period, Lambert was obscurely referenced in 's 1969 sketch "Buying a Bed," which featured two shop assistants called Mr. Verity and Mr. Lambert, named after her. In 1969 she left the staff of the BBC to join , where she produced (1970–72) and Between the Wars (1973). In 1974, she returned to the BBC on a freelance basis to produce Shoulder to Shoulder, a series of six 75-minute plays about the movement of the early . [] Thames Television and Euston Films in , where several dramas overseen by Lambert, such as , were produced in the 1970s. Later in 1974 Lambert became Head of Drama at , a successor company of her former employers ABC. During her time in this position she oversaw several high-profile and successful contributions to the network, including (1975), (1976–77), (1978–92) and (1978). In 1976 she was also made responsible for overseeing the work of , Thames' subsidiary film production company, at the time best known as the producers of . In 1979 she transferred to Euston full-time as the company's Chief Executive, overseeing productions such as (1979), (1979–94) and (1983). At Thames and Euston, Lambert enjoyed the most sustained period of critical and popular success of her career. The Naked Civil Servant won a (BAFTA) for its star as well as a Award and a prize at the ; Rock Follies won a BAFTA and a Award, while Widows also gained BAFTA nominations and ratings of over 12 million — unusually for a drama serial, it picked up viewers over the course of its six-week run. Minder went on to become the longest-running series produced by Euston Films, surviving for over a decade following Lambert's departure from the company. Television historian Lez Cooke described Lambert's time in control of the drama department at Thames as "an adventurous period for the company, demonstrating that it was not only the BBC that was capable of producing progressive television drama during the 1970s. Lambert wanted Thames to produce drama series 'which were attempting in one way or another to tackle modern problems and life,' an ambition which echoed the philosophy of her mentor Sydney Newman." , the writer of Rock Follies, also later praised the bravery of Lambert's commissioning. "Verity Lambert had just arrived as head of drama at Thames TV and she went for broke," he told newspaper in 2002. "She commissioned a serial, Jennie: Lady Randolph Churchill, for safety, but also Bill Brand, one of the edgiest political dramas ever, and us... Before we had even finished making the first series, Verity commissioned the second." Lambert's association with Thames and Euston Films continued into the 1980s. In 1982, she rejoined the staff of parent company Thames Television as Director of Drama, and was given a seat on the company's . In November 1982 she left Thames, but remained as Chief Executive at Euston until November of the following year, to take up her first post in the industry, as Director of Production for . Her job here was somewhat frustrating as the British film industry was in one of its periodic states of flux, but she did manage to produce some noteworthy features, including the 1986 film . Lambert later expressed some regret on her time in the film industry in a feature for newspaper. "Unfortunately, the person who hired me left, and the person who came in didn't want to produce films and didn't want me. While I managed to make some films I was proud of — 's , and Clockwise with John Cleese — it was terribly tough and not a very happy experience." [] Cinema Verity In late 1985 Lambert left Thorn EMI, frustrated at the lack of success and at restructuring measures being undertaken by the company. She established her own independent production company, . The company's first production was the 1988 feature film , starring and and based on the "" case in . Cinema Verity's first television series, the BBC1 , debuted in 1989 and ran until 1994. The company also produced another successful BBC1 sitcom, , which ran from 1992 to 1994. Lambert executive produced 's hard-hitting drama serial for in 1991, winning critical acclaim and several awards. Lambert's relationship with Bleasdale was not entirely smooth, however — the writer has admitted in subsequent interviews that he "wanted to kill Verity Lambert" after she insisted on the cutting of large portions of his first draft script before production began. However, Bleasdale subsequently admitted that she was right about the majority of the cut material, and when the production was finished he only missed one small scene from those she had demanded be excised. A less successful Cinema Verity production, and the most noted mis-step of Lambert's career, was the soap opera , a co-production with the BBC set in a British community in . At the time it was the most expensive commission the BBC had given out to an independent production company. Launched with a major publicity campaign and running in a high-profile slot three nights a week on BBC1, the series was critically mauled and lasted only a year, from 1992 to 1993. Lambert's biography at Screenonline suggests some reasons for this failure: "With on-location production facilities and an evident striving for a genuinely contemporary flavour, Lambert's costly Euro soap Eldorado suggested a degree of ambition ... which it seemed in the event ill-equipped to realise, and a potentially interesting subject tailed off into implausible melodrama. Eldorado's plotting ... was disappointingly ponderous. As a result, the expatriate community in southern Spain theme and milieu was exploited rather than explored." Other reviewers, even the best part of a decade after the programme's cancellation, were much harsher, with Rupert Smith's comments in in 2002 being a typical example. "A £10 million farce that left the BBC with egg all over its entire body and put an awful lot members back on the dole... it will always be remembered as the most expensive flop of all time." In the early 1990s, Lambert attempted to win the rights to produce Doctor Who independently for the BBC; however, this effort was unsuccessful because the Corporation was already in negotiations with producer in the . Cinema Verity projects that did reach production included (BBC1, 1991) and (BBC One, 2001), the latter co-produced by actress , whose idea it was to adapt the novels by . Lambert continued to work as a freelance producer outside of her own company. She produced the popular BBC One comedy-drama series , by writer , ever since taking over the role for its second series in 1998. From then until 2004 she produced eighteen episodes of the programme across four short seasons, plus two Christmas Specials. She and Renwick also collaborated on another comedy-drama, , starring and transmitted on BBC One in the autumn of 2005. In 1973, Lambert married television director Colin Bucksey (a man ten years her junior), but the marriage collapsed in 1984, and they divorced in 1987. She had no children, once telling an interviewer, "I can't stand babies — no, I love babies as long as their parents take them away." In 2000 two of her productions, Doctor Who and The Naked Civil Servant, finished third and fourth respectively in a poll of the of the . In the 2002 Lambert was appointed an (OBE) for her services to film and television production, and the same year she received BAFTA's Award for Outstanding Contribution to Television. She died of cancer five days before her 72nd birthday. She was due to have been presented with a lifetime achievement award at the Women in Film and Television Awards the following month.
