Rachael Lavelle released her long-awaited debut album Big Dreams on November 10. A brilliant collection of 10 tracks, the press release says: Big Dreams is an existential coming-of-age album that chronicles the journey of a young woman searching for direction and meaning in a very strange world. Inspired by sounds of everyday life and an intriguing obsession with YouTube self-help videos, the album explores romance, directionlessness, ambition and the expectations of the unsatisfied digital native. Recorded in various locations including an artists studio in Lisbon, the album is the result of years of experimentation and destruction. Written and produced by Lavelle, it was created alongside long-time collaborator, multi-instrumentalist and co-producer Ryan Hargadon and engineer and co-producer Alex Borwick. Throughout, the album features the voice of the Luas, Doireann Ní Bhriain, who narrates the inner monologue of the millennial mind; the ever-wondering, ever-doubting, the contradicting and the aspiring. On this episode of the TPOE podcast, Rachael talks us through Big Dreams track by track, as well as her features with Villagers, Crash Ensemble and others, influences, sleep, CMAT, and dreaming.

Dr. Willie Soon, an astrophysicist and geoscientist, is a leading authority on the relationship between solar phenomena and global climate. In this 32+ years of singular pursuit, he seeks to understand the Sun-Earth relations in terms of not only meteorology and climate, but also in terms of orbital dynamics of Sun-Earth-other planets interactions, magmatic (volcanoes) and tectonic (earthquakes) activities. His discoveries challenge computer modelers and advocates who consistently underestimate solar influences on cloud formation, ocean currents, and wind that cause climate to change. He has faced and risen above unethical and often libelous attacks on his research and his character, becoming one of the world's most respected and influential voices for climate realism. In 2018, he founded the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES-science.com) in order to tackle a wider range of issues and topics without fears nor prejudices. — Dr. Michael Connolly is an independent scientist, based in Ireland. Lecturer and tutor at third level in the fields of physics, chemistry, electronic engineering, computer science, mathematics, and statistics. I qualified as a plasterer in 1969, as an electrician in 1970 and have experience in all building trades. In 1975, I built our first house entirely on my own. The last time this house was sold it went for approx. $1 million. Since then, I have designed and built hundreds of buildings and houses. — About Ronan Connolly: I am an independent scientist, environmentalist and writer. My primary university degree was in Chemistry, and my PhD in computational chemistry/polymer physics. However, in 2004, I shifted to environmentalism, and began working with my father, Dr. Michael Connolly, on developing sustainable methods of fish-farming, aquaponics and waste-water treatment. We also carried out research into developing low-cost heat exchanger systems and new energy efficient building materials and techniques. — Slides for this podcast: https://tomn.substack.com/p/challenges-of-the-detection-and-attribution — Willie Soon on my podcast #29: https://youtu.be/SWox_kECjfM?si=iVOqBumAgq01sEbG Willie Soon on my podcast #79: https://youtu.be/djvfutJWRhY?si=Ad9JBbJocaXsU2mL Michael Connolly on my podcast #38: https://youtu.be/B-4w1CXFd1c?si=Erz4tlTE-Yoym1Cx Ronan Connolly on my podcast #36: https://youtu.be/Y0lx16vIPdQ?si=2K8Gf5iHLwLqUJrH CERES news: https://www.ceres-science.com/news Please help support independent science by donating to CERES-science.com: https://www.ceres-science.com/support-us https://globalwarmingsolved.com/ Relevant links: https://www.ceres-science.com/ “The Detection and Attribution of Northern Hemisphere Land Surface Warming (1850–2018) in Terms of Human and Natural Factors: Challenges of Inadequate Data” https://www.mdpi.com/2225-1154/11/9/179 “Challenges in the Detection and Attribution of Northern Hemisphere Surface Temperature Trends Since 1850” https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1674-4527/acf18e “Evidence of Urban Blending in Homogenized Temperature Records in Japan and in the United States: Implications for the Reliability of Global Land Surface Air Temperature Data” https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/apme/62/8/JAMC-D-22-0122.1.xml “Evaluation of the Homogenization Adjustments Applied to European Temperature Records in the Global Historical Climatology Network Dataset” https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4433/13/2/285 ========= About Tom Nelson: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89cj_OtPeenLkWMmdwcT8Dt0DGMb8RGR Twitter: https://twitter.com/tan123 Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about
Most of my work is aimed at helping people have a better relationship with thoughts and emotions. Working with people one to one but also working with groups & business. Most people are caught up in focussing on what we need to do to feel better rather than prioritising how we want to feel. It's not about me saying 'do this to feel' this because that's not realistic. It's about pointing in a direction or asking questions so that whoever I'm working with can become aware of their own experience. It's all about self awareness and exploration of that. Recognising that part of us which is already at peace & all that springs from being in that space.So here's a few resources to help with that exploration:So first of all heres a guided meditation I've recorded which you may want to have a go at (it's one you can't get wrong, just follow me) there's also a chance for you toask any questions you have.www.johngcoaching.com/sligo-lifeBooks John recommends All can be ordered through Liber Bookshop SligoA New Earth - Eckhart TolleShift Into Freedom - Loch KellyLiberation Is - Salvadore PoeBeing Aware Of Being Aware - Ruper SpiraBeyond Mindfulness - Stephan BodianIf you are curious about the types of companies or events I work with heres a client list http://www.johngcoaching.com/businessclientsWhat do you love about living in Sligo?: I love the laid back nature of the place. I enjoy the outdoors so to have so many trails & walks and fields & beaches to run on is amazing. I love the community buzz of Strandhill. I also enjoy the peace and quiet.If you could wave a magic wand what would you fix or bring to Sligo ie. facilities, shops, restaurants, culture/arts?: I would love for there to be a good quality small sized venue that could bring some alternative music to the area. When living in Dublin I was spoiled for choice with gigs where as here although theres an amazing wealth of talent it all seems to be folk and rock. Trickys used to be a great place for alternative gigs, since thats gone theres nothing really the hits the spot.What are your must do Sligo recommendations? Restaurants/Walks etc.: Well I turned plant based 14months ago so favourite places to eat would be Stoked (defo my fav),Sweetbeat, Gallery Cafe & Miso. Im kinda lazy so only really go to the pubs within 100m of the house so thats The Dunes & The Venue (a special mention to the Swagman & Connollys if I get brave and venture out).
This episode is with Brendan Tierney who was recommended to me by a few previous guests to interview on the show. We talked about how he ended up moving from Galway to Sligo, life in the lockdown and his passion for seeing Sligo businesses succeed plus much more.Here is some more about Brendan and his incredible work . . .I have a Marketing & Events Company - Fox Events & Marketing (primarily social media work but event-wise, I work with the Sligo Summer Festival as Production & Marketing Manager)I am also a Driving Instructor or over ten years.Last year I started the So Funny Comedy Festival in Sligo.

Married to Niamh and have two 9 years old boys Iarlaith and Finian.I studied an Environmental Science degree in IT Sligo, but never used it. In my second last year of my IT career, I became the student union president and this was really the start of me accidentally delving into Marketing/Events.Worked in a variety of jobs from radio presenter, owned a print business and then Sales & Marketing for a variety of local companies before setting up my own company.What do you love about living in Sligo?: More or less everything! I promote it to the world at any given chance.Mainly I love the more chilled speed of life. It's like a chilled Galway eg. So much arts/music and near the sea, but we don't have their traffic.I love the ability to be able to get to a beach, river, lake, forest trail in 5 mins from town.I love the mix of business in town, the music scene, the theatre scene (I'm involved in a few drama groups) and the newer generation of people involved in business/politics who have breathed some fresh thinking into the town.If you could wave a magic wand what would you fix or bring to Sligo ie. facilities, shops, restaurants, culture/arts?:Open every dormant building in town (via grants/incentives etc)-Get the greenway open-Create a better connection between local businesses (promote each other), I mean a proper system where you send a visitor onto the next place/business-Create a hub for everyone involved in theatre/arts/music. Like a building where there are studios/rehearsal rooms, storage for props/costumes, prop workshops as well as communal help for design/promotion.What are your must-do Sligo recommendations? Restaurants/Walks etc.I suppose my regular haunts would be-Filans centra upstairs for a coffee. My fav coffee in town and love the large space upstairs.The Blind Tiger for same reasons.-The Glasshouse bar area for meeting friends/business-Hooked for brunch-Andersons for gigs-Fav pubs: Connollys, McLynns, Shoot The Crows-People should try theatre more, so the Hawk's Well is special - until about 7/8 years ago, I'd never been to love theatre, I'm hooked since.- Walks - Rosses Point 3rd beach, Hazelwood, Union Rock (Views here are unreal)-Dive off the pier at Rosses PointHow can people find you online? https://www.facebook.com/brendantierneyschoolofmotoringhttps://www.facebook.com/sligonow/posts/2556737154440392

By the end of January 1914 the Lockout ended with a decisive and crushing victory for the employers. Many leave Dublin to seek work in English cities and the striking girls and women from Jacobs are worst off. Most do not get work again and those that do are not allowed back until April. Actor Ronnie McCann voices James Connollys prophetic words, Dublin is isolated, and we hear from Connollys great grandson James Connolly Heron and from Larkins great grandchildren, Jim and Aoife Breslin. Historians Emmet O Connor, Padraig Yeates, Theresa Moriarty, Ann Mathews and Diarmaid Ferriter vividly describe events while author Ruth Dudley Edwards, a biographer of Connolly assesses the leadership of Connolly, Larkin and Constance Markievicz.
