Lisa Eilbacher

Lisa Marie Eilbacher (born May 5, 1956) is a retired American actress. She is best known for her role as Jeanette Summers in the Beverly Hills Cop film in 1984.
She is married to director and photographer Bradford May since 1988.
Lisa Marie Eilbacher was born in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, the daughter of an American oil company executive. She was raised in France.
Her two siblings are also actors: sister Cindy Eilbacher and brother Bobby Eilbacher.
Eilbacher started acting as a child, appearing on such shows as My Three Sons and Gunsmoke. She later made a transition into adult roles on such shows as The Amazing Spider-Man.
Eilbacher starred as Callie Shaw in The Hardy Boys Mysteries in 1977. The same year she appeared in the episode "The Innocent" of the short-lived Logan's Run TV series. She also guest starred on the TV series Man from Atlantis in an episode where she played Shakespeare's Juliet. She also appeared in the 1974 television movie Bad Ronald.
In 1981, she starred in the television film This House Possessed with Parker Stevenson, with whom she worked on The Hardy Boys Mysteries.
That year she acted in Lee Philips's film On the Right Track starring television star Gary Coleman. Some reviews concluded that it was sappy and capitalizing on Coleman's TV following, many found the film charming, well written, and well acted. Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times, felt she stood out by saying it "is Coleman's picture, but its unexpected pleasure is Eilbacher".
Eilbacher is best known for her roles in two 1980s films: An Officer and a Gentleman and Beverly Hills Cop. In An Officer and a Gentleman, she played Naval Aviation Officer Candidate Casey Seeger, a popular and charming woman who nearly flunked out of the program due to her inability to complete the obstacle course; however, she persevered and graduated. An amateur bodybuilder in real life, Eilbacher said the hardest aspect of this role was "pretending" to be out of shape. In Beverly Hills Cop, she played Jenny Summers, a childhood friend of Eddie Murphy's character who reunited with him to solve the murder of a mutual friend.
Eilbacher was also featured in the 1983 miniseries The Winds of War, playing Madeleine Henry.
In 1985, she co-starred with Holland Taylor in the ABC detective series Me and Mom.
Fuirseoir

Is ionann Fuirseoir nó Fear grinn agus duine a chuireann siamsaíocht ar fáil do lucht féachana trí hiad a chur ag gáire. Is gnách go n-íoctar an duine as an obair seo. Déantar é seo trí scéalta grinn a insint nó trí eachtraí áiféiseacha a chur ar siúl nó trí ghreann ropánta. Tugtar 'fuirseoirí ar a mboinn' ar fhuirseoirí a bhíonn ag caint go díreach leis an lucht féachana os a gcomhair, agus iad ag déanamh iad féin a chur in iúl.
Bíonn stíleanna grinn difriúla ag na fuirseoirí éagsúla. Bíonn blas na polaitíochta agus cúrsaí reatha ar ghreann Bill Maher agus George Carlin i Meiriceá, agus bhí an aoir pholaitiúil le sonrú go mór ar ghreann an fhuirseora Éireannaigh, Dermot Morgan. Ach bíonn an greann ag leithéid Tommy Tiernan bunaithe ar a shaol féin nó ar chúrsaí an tsaoil, áit a mbeadh leithéidí Ross Nobel ag baint leasa as áiféis chun daoine a chur ag gáire. Cuireann fuirseoirí iad féin i láthair go beo, nó ar an raidió nó ar an teilifís go minic. Is minic go mbíonn an chuid is mó fuirseoirí ag déanamh a gcoda agus iad ag dul ar camchuairt lena seó féin ar fud na tíre nó ar fud an domhain, go háirithe ag Féilte Grinn a bhíonn á reáchtáil ar fud an domhain.
Tá rath mór ar ghnó na fuirseoireachta in Éirinn i láthair na huaire. Tá cáil idirnáisiúnta bainte amach ag go leor fuirseoirí Éireannacha agus duaiseanna idirnáisiúnta amhail Duais Grinn Perrier, buaite ag breis is duine amháin acu.
San áireamh leis sin, tá cáil idirnáisiúnta ar na himeachtaí agus ar na féilte grinn a chuirtear ar siúl go bliantúil in Éirinn, amhail Féile Ghrinn Chill Chainnigh agus Féile Ghrinn Bulmers i mBaile Átha Cliath (luaite thíos).
Fuirseoireacht

Is cur i láthair greannmhar atá i gceist le fuirseoireacht nó greann ar na boinn, os comhair slua de ghnáth. Tá go leor cineálacha éagsúla grinn i gceist léi.
Bíonn fuirseoirí ag bualadh bleid ar dhaoine den lucht féachana ag pointí áirithe sa seó ar mhaithe le haird an tslua a mhúscailt agus a choinneáil, agus fitear tagairtí do na sealanna gearra comhrá sin isteach sa chuid eile den seó, ar bhealach nádúrtha más féidir. "Tugtar le fios nach script dhocht atá á leanúint, rud nach fíor ach go hannamh."
Áirítear mar léiriú ar chumas maith grinn é nuair nach mbíonn "an té atá thíos á bhualadh" de shaint ar gháirí.
Bíonn a lán scileanna éagsúla i gceist leis an gceird, dar leis an bhfuirseoir mór le rá Aideen McQueen, m.sh. "conas aird an lucht féachana a choinneáil, conas thú féin a chur i láthair, agus déileáil le brú agus le daoine deacra." Is minic a ghlacann sé achar fada go leor sula mbíonn fuirseoirí in acmhainn maireachtáil uirthi. "Cuireann sé iachall ort an taobh éadrom den saol a fheiscint" áfach. "D’fhéadfadh an rud is mó atá ag cur as duit faoi láthair a bheith ina scéal grinn iontach".
Is gnách tosú amach ar oícheanta ‘maidhc oscailte’ agus cuid mhaith taithí a fháil ar an mbealach sin sula mbíonn airgead ar bith gur fiú trácht air i gceist.
"Tá an greann trí Ghaeilge tagtha chun cinn go mór le tamall de bhlianta agus feictear oícheanta éagsúla ar bun fud fad na tíre, ag GaelGÁIRÍ agus ag dreamanna go leor."
Bhunaigh an fuirseoir le Gaeilge Aideen McQueen cúrsa 10 seachtaine fuirseoireachta i mBaile Átha Cliath mar a fhoghlaimíonn daoine "faoina stíl, a gcur i láthair, scríobh ábhair grinn, teacht i láthair ardáin, an phearsantacht ardáin, an greann comhaimseartha, an greann carachtair, seiftiú ar an láthair agus scéalaíocht."
Johnny Carson

Aisteoir, scríbhneoir agus fuirseoir Meiriceánach ab ea John William "Johnny" Carson (23 Deireadh Fómhair, 1925 – 23 Eanáir, 2005). Bhain sé cáil amach sna Stáit Aontaithe agus ar fud an domhain ina láithreoir teilifíse ar The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson ó 1962 go dtí 22 Bealtaine 1992, nuair a tháinig fuirseoir Jay Leno isteach ina áit.
An Chomhdháil Náisiúnta Afracach

Is páirtí polaitíochta san Afraic Theas í an Chomhdháil Náisiúnta Afracach (Béarla: African National Congress nó ANC).
Is iad an ANC páirtí ghluaiseacht saoirse na hAfraice Theas a tháinig chun cinn go mór san iarracht Nelson Mandela a shaoradh ó phríosún agus deireadh a chur le réimeas bán na cinedheighilte sa tír i 1994.
Ba é Umkhonto we Sizwe eite mhíleata na gluaiseachta go dtí 1990.
Comhdháil Yalta

Tugtar Comhdháil Yalta nó Comhdháil na Crimé (códainm: Comhdháil an Arganátaigh) ar chruinniú mullaigh idir chinn rialtais na Stát Aontaithe, na Ríochta Aontaithe agus Aontas na bPoblachtaí Sóivéadacha Sóisialacha idir 4–11 Feabhra na bliana 1945, agus an Dara Cogadh Domhanda ag druidim chun deiridh.
I bhFeabhra 1945 bhuail an "Triúr Mór" - Winston Churchill, Franklin D Roosevelt agus Iósaf Stailín le chéile in Yalta sa Rúis. Cé nach raibh an cogadh thart go fóill, ba shoiléir go mbeadh an bua ag na comhghuaillithe. Ba é aidhm an chruinnithe an rud a bhí le tarlú san Eoraip i ndiaidh an chogaidh a shocrú.
Bhí an chomhdháil ar siúl ar feadh seachtaine i ngar do Yalta na Crimé, a bhíodh mar chuid den Aontas Sovéideach, sna Páláis Livadia, Yusupov, agus Vorontsov.
Bhí aidhmeanna difriúla ag gach ceannaire.
In ainneoin na ndifríochtaí, d’éirigh leis an "Triúr Mór" roinnt socruithe a aontú ag Yalta.
• Roinnfí an Ghearmáin ina ceithre chuid; lonnófaí arm na Breataine, na Fraince, na Rúise agus na Stát Aontaithe sna ceantair dhifriúla;
• Roinnfí Beirlín ar an dóigh chéanna;
• Bheadh ar an Ghearmáin cúiteamh a íoc;
• Bhunófaí Eagraíocht na Náisiún Aontaithe;
• D’fhógródh an Rúis cogadh ar an tSeapáin trí mhí i ndiaidh ghéilleadh na Gearmáine.
• Aontaíodh ar theorainn na Polainne i ndiaidh an chogaidh... cé nár aontaíodh ar an chineál rialtais a bheadh ag an tír.
• Socraíodh go mbeadh oirthear na hEorpa faoi thionchar na Sóivéadach. Aontaíodh fosta, áfach, go mbeadh toghcháin dhaonlathacha sna tíortha seo le ligean do phobail Oirthear na hEorpa a gcuid rialtas féin a roghnú.
Reáchtáladh cruinniú mullaigh eile, Comhdháil Potsdam, in aice le Beirlín, ó 17 Iúil – 2 Lúnasa 1945. Ní raibh an chomhdháil iarchogaidh chomh cairdiúil agus a bhí an cruinniú in Yalta.
Ar 1 Bealtaine 2004, tháinig ocht dtír atá i lár agus in oirthear na hEorpa isteach san Aontas Eorpach, agus is mar sin a cuireadh deireadh, faoi dheireadh thiar thall, le deighilt na hEorpa a shocraigh na Cumhachtaí Móra ag Comhdháil Yalta sa Chrimé.
Comhdháil Pugwash

Sraith comhdhálacha ag eolaithe a bhí buartha faoi bhagairt na n-arm núicléach. Tionóladh an chéad ceann i bPugwash in Albain Nua Cheanada i 1957, go mór faoi anáil Bertrand Russell. Ag comhdháil 1963 thug na Stáit Aontaithe eolas don Aontas Sóivéadach ar na córais sábháilteachta d'airm núicléacha, mar chéim ar aghaidh chun srianadh a chur ar na hairm sin. Joseph Rotblat a bhí ina uachtarán ar na comhdhálacha thar bhlianta fada.
Phillip James de Loutherbourg

Péintéir is dearthóir stáitse Briotanach a rugadh i Strasbourg na Fraince ab ea Phillip James de Loutherbourg (31 Deireadh Fómhair 1740 - 11 Márta 1812). Cáil air as a stáitsí nuálaíocha mionsamhlaithe meicnithe. Ina chomhairleoir ealaíonta in Amharclann Drury Lane i Londain (1771-1781), mar ar thug sé isteach forbairtí ceannródaíocha i ndearadh radhairc agus soilsiú stáitse a d'athraigh na gnéithe seo den amharclannaíocht go mór. I 1781 shaothraigh sé an t-eideafusacón, stáitse mionsamhlaithe le claochluithe lánléargais trí úsáid tréshoilseán is plátaí daite.
Paz Vega

Is ban-aisteoir Spáinneach í Paz Campos Trigo nó Paz Vega mar is fearr aithne uirthi. Rugadh í ar 2 Eanáir 1976 in Sevilla na Spáinne.
Rugadh Vega i Sevilla, Andalucía, Spáinn, agus tógann sí a hainm stáitse óna seanmháthair. D'fhreastail sí ar an scoil stáitse Centro Andaluz de Teatro.
Is é Orson Salazar a fear céile.
Siobhán Nic Cionnaith

Ban-aisteoir Éireannach ar an stáitse agus sna scannáin ab ea Siobhán Nic Cionnaith (nó Siobhán McKenna sa Bhéarla) (24 Bealtaine 1922 – 16 Samhain 1986).
Siobhán Giollamhuire Nic Cionnaith a tugadh uirthi nuair a saolaíodh í i mBéal Feirste i dtuaisceart na hÉireann. Tógadh i gContae Mhuineacháin í le Gaeilge.
Bhí sí go fóill ina déagóir i 1940 nuair a ghlac sí páirt ar an stáitse den chéad uair i dTaibhdhearc na Gaillimhe, Amharclann Ghaelach na hÉireann. Cuimhnítear chomh maith uirthi mar gheall ar an obair a rinne sí i mBéarla in Amharclann na Mainistreach i mBaile Átha Cliath. Ach is sa bpríomhpháirt i St. Joan, dráma cáiliúil le George Bernard Shaw, agus mar Pegeen Mike i The Playboy of the Western World le John Millington Synge a bhain sí an clú is mó amach.
Nuair a bhí sí ag obair in Amharclann na Mainistreach, bhuail sí le Denis O’Dea agus pósadh iad i 1956. Bhí mac acu.
Ghlac sí páirt ar an stáitse i Londain den chéad uair i 1947 agus i Nua-Eabhrac i 1955 sa dráma The Chalk Chalk Garden le hEnid Bagnold agus ainmníodh í do Ghradam Tony. Nuair a bhí St Joan á léiriú aici i Nua-Eabhrac i 1956 dúirt an léirmheastóir amharclainne Elliot Norton gurbh é seo an léiriúchán is fearr den pháirt dá bhfaca sé riamh. Mar gheall ar an tóir a bhí uirthi, cuireadh a grianghraf ar chlúdach na hirise Life.
Cé go ndearna sí an chuid is mó dá cuid oibre ar an stáitse, ghlac sí páirteanna chomh maith ar an teilifís agus sna scannáin. Ina measc seo, bhí King of Kings (1961), Of Human Bondage (1964) agus Dr Zhivago (1965). Rinneadh scannán freisin de Playboy of the Western World.
Bronnadh Bonn Óir Chumann Éireannach Bhostúin uirthi toisc go raibh sí tar éis “idéil an Chumainn Éireannaigh a chomhlíonadh go bunúsach, go háirithe eolas faoi éachtaí cultúrtha mhuintir na hÉireann a scaipeadh go forleathan”.
Tháinig Siobhán McKenna ar ais go dtí Amharclann na Mainistreach sna seascaidí chun an phríomhpháirt a thógaint i The Loves of Cass Maguire le Brian Friel agus sna hochtóidí chun Bessie Burgess a léiriú i The Plough and the Stars le Seán O'Casey.
Is é Bailegangaire le Tom Murphy an dráma deireanach gur ghlac sí páirt ann (1985). Cailleadh í bliain ina dhiaidh sin tar éis d’ailse scamhóige teacht uirthi.
Táin Bó Cúailnge

Is cuid de chnuasach laochscéalta na Rúraíochta é Táin Bó Cúailnge, nó An Táin. Scríobhadh na scéalta ón 6ú haois ar aghaidh. Baineann na scéalta le himeachtaí i gCúige Uladh nuair a bhí Conchúr mac Neasa ina rí, agus cogadh curtha orthu ag Banríon Chonnacht Méabh. Déanann sise agus a fear Ailill mac Máta ionradh ar Ulaidh agus iad sa tóir ar an nDonn Cúailnge - graí-tarbh thar a bheith torthúil - ach éiríonn an laoch óg Cú Chulainn ina n-éadan.
Scríobhadh na scéalta sa tSean-Ghaeilge. Is iad na scéalta Táin Bó Cuailgne agus Oidheadh Chlainne Uisnigh na scéalta is tábhachtaí den Rúraíocht. Aicmítear de ghnáth mar eipic é, cé go bhfuil sé scríobtha mar phrós in áit filíochta.
Coimhlint acmhainní (lionraí)

I réimse na teileachumarsáide, is éard atá i gceist le coimhlint acmhainní ná iomaíocht maidir le hacmhainní i ngréasán cumarsáide. Úsáidtear an téarma go háirithe i dtaca le líonraí le cur síos ar chás ina ndéanann dhá nód nó breis iarracht teachtaireacht a tharchur thar an sreang céanna ag an am céanna.
Mar shampla, b'fhéidir go ndéanann dhá nód iarracht teachtaireachtaí a sheoladh thar líonra go comhuaineach. B'éigean an prótacail líonra do nóid dul i gcoimhlint le rochtain líonra a fháil. Sainmhíníonn an prótacal coimhlinte céard ba chóir tarlú sa chás seo. Is é CSMA/CD, a úsáideann Ethernet, an prótacal coimhlinte is coitianta.
Cogadh

Aighneas i gcaidreamh idirnáisiúnta é cogadh, ina bhfuil foréigean eagraithe á úsáid ag aonaid míleata náisiúnta nó grúpaí neamhrialta chun bua míleata a fháil, nó cuspóir áirithe a bhaint amach. Is coimhlint armtha é, idir dhá ghrúpa míleata nó níos mó.
Tugtar cogadh cathartha ar choimhlint inmheánach, ina cuireann grúpa amháin cogadh ar ghrúpa eile sa stát nó náisiún céanna.
Coimhlint na nOrd

Coimhlint pholaitiúil a bhí i gCoimhlint na nOrd, ar a dtugtar Streachailt na nOrd uaireanta, idir na pleibigh (na comóntaigh) agus na paitrígh (an uasalaicme) de Phoblacht na sean-Róimhe a mhair ó 500 RCR go 287 RCR, inar lorg na pleibigh comhionannas polaitíochta leis na paitrígh. Bhí ról mór aige seo i bhforbairt Bhunreacht Phoblacht na Róimhe. Go gairid i ndiaidh bhunú na Poblachta, mar thoradh ar an gcoimhlint seo scar na paitrígh leis an Róimh chun dul go dtí an Sliabh Naofa (Mons Sacer) ag am cogaidh. Ba é an toradh a bhí air sin ná oifig na dtreabhann pleibeach (tribunus plebis) a chruthú, agus leis sin fuair na pleibigh fíorchumhacht den chéad uair
Ar dtús, ní raibh cead ach ag paitrígh seasamh i dtoghchán d'oifig pholaitiúil, ach le himeacht ama cúlghaireadh na dlíthe seo, agus sa deireadh osclaíodh na hoifigí go léir do na pleibigh. Ós rud é gur tugadh ballraíocht i Seanad na Róimhe don chuid is mó de na daoine aonair a toghadh chuig oifig pholaitiúil, chabhraigh an fhorbairt seo leis an Seanad a athrú ó chomhlacht na bpaitríoch go comhlacht na bpaitríoch uasalaicmeach agus na bpleibeach uasalaicmeach araon. Tharla an fhorbairt seo ag an am céanna a raibh cumhacht breise á fháil ag gcomhthionól reachtach na bpleibeach, Chomhairle na bPleibeach. Ar dtús, ní raibh feidhm ag a chuid gníomhartha (“pobalbhreitheanna”) ach maidir do na pleibigh, ach tar éis 339 RCR, nuair a thionscain an chéad deachtóir Plebánach Q. Publilius Philo na dlíthe seo, bhí feidhm acu ar na pleibigh agus na bpaitrígh araon. Ba é an t-athrú is bunúsaí, áfach, ná bronnadh tribunicia potestas ina bhféadfadh binsí na bpleibeach reachtaíocht neamhfhabhrach a chrosadh.
Coimhlint Iosrael–Gaza 2014

i gcoimhlint Iosrael–Gaza sa bhliain 2014, maraíodh 2,100̹̟+ Palaistíneach ar taobh amháin agus ar an taobh eile, 71 Iosraelach.
I mí Aibreáin 2014, bhí an sprioc am a bhí socruithe ag Meiriceá d'Iosrael agus don Phalaistín le comhaontú síochána a bheith déanta sa Meán Oirthear caite gan aon réiteach a bheith déanta.
Ar 12 Meitheamh 2014, fuadaíodh agus dúnmharaíodh triúr déagóirí Iosraelacha i Heabrón (is in Heabrón atá an choilíneacht mhíchlúiteach Kiryat Arba). Dúirt rialtas na hÉireann ag an am, “Is den tábhacht freisin é go mbeadh na húdaráis freagrach agus srianta ina bhfreagra agus nach mbeadh aon íospartach neamhurchóideach eile mar thoradh ar an gcoir uafásach seo.”
Mhúscail an drochscéal seo conspóid agus thionscain sé ráig foréigin. Is lú ná fríd máthair an oilc, deirtear.
Dúirt Príomh-Aire Iosrael Benjamin Netanyahu go n-imreofar an lámh láidir ar Phalaistínigh mar gheall ar an ionsaí. Ar 8 Iúil 2014, chuir Iosrael tús le hionsaithe aeir agus talún ar stráice Ghaza. Sa chogaíocht a lean, maraíodh 2,100+ Palaistíneach ar taobh amháin agus ar an taobh eile, 71 Iosraelach. Tharla ionsaithe gan ábhar is cosúil, sárú ar chearta an duine.
Fógraíodh an Éigipt sos comhraic don chéad uair ar 14 Iúil.
Thosaigh cainteanna idir Iosrael agus Hamas i gCaireo ar 12 Lúnasa. D'fhógair Iosrael ar 19 Lúnasa go raibh sos lámhaigh thart. Stop na hionsaithe faoi dheireadh ar 26 Lúnasa 2014.
Níos déanaí, ar 18 Samhain 2014, maraíodh ceathrar Iosraelach agus gortaíodh ochtar eile nuair a rinne beirt fhear ionsaí ar shionagóg in iarthar Iarúsailéim. Bhí gunna, sceana agus tua ag an mbeirt. Mharaigh póilíní Iosraelacha an bheirt. Dúirt an eagraíocht thuata Fronta Pobail i gcomhair Shaoirse na Palaistíne gurb iad a bhí freagrach as an ionsaí.
Vótáil an Dáil ar 10 Nollaig 2014 ar son rún ó Shinn Féin le haitheantas mar stát a thabhairt don Phalaistín. Tugadh aitheantas sa rún freisin do cheart mhuintir na Palaistíne a dtodhchaí féin a roghnú. Dá bharr, d'éirigh Éire an 135ú tír a thug aitheantas mar stát don Phalaistín.
Madame Lazare

Úrscéal le Tadhg Mac Dhonnagáin is ea 'Madame Lazare', foilsithe sa bhliain 2021 don chéad uair. Is é an comhlacht foilsitheoireachta aitheanta Futa Fata agus Barzaz, inphrionta nua de chuid an chomhlachta sin, a d’fhoilsigh Madame Lazare.
Baineann plota an úrscéil le bean óg a dhéanann iarracht tuiscint a fháil ar rúndiamhair shaol a seanmháthar, a theith ón Eastóin sna 1930idí chun géarleanúint na Naitsithe ar Ghiúdaigh a éalú. "Is leabhar é faoi chúrsaí cuimhne, na rudaí a gcuimhníonn daoine orthu, nach rudaí nach bhfuil daoine ag iarraidh a bheith ag cuimhneamh orthu, agus an chaoi a dtagann rudaí aniar ó chúl na cuimhne, uaireanta i ngan fhios do dhaoine agus uaireanta in ainneoin a gcuid iarrachtaí rudaí a choinneáil faoi chois,” a dúirt Tadhg Mac Dhonnagáin.
Thóg sé thart ar cúig bliana an t-úrscéal a scríobh. "ag foghlaim teicnící a bhaineann leis an úrscéal. Bhí mé ag teacht ag an úrscéal mar chineál printíseach.”
Beirt bhan, mamó agus a gariníon agus an caidreamh céasta atá eatarthu croí an leabhair seo, bean óg, Levana, a tógadh ina Giúdach i bPáras agus a seanmháthair, Hana Lazare, nó Madame Lazare, a thóg í.
Ó bhí sí ina páiste óg, tá Levana bródúil as a dúchas Giúdach agus as na mná láidre a chuaigh roimpi. Theith a seanmháthair, Hana, agus í ina cailín óg óna tír dhúchais i dtuaisceart na hEorpa (an Eastóin), is cosúil. Bhí Hana an t-aon duine amháin dá muintir a tháinig slán ó shlad an Shoah.
Nó sin an tuiscint a bhí ag Levane ó bhí sí óg. Creideann Levana gur theith Hana ó na Naitsithe aimsir an Chogaidh, gur maraíodh gach aon duine a bhain léi sa gcogadh, gur tháinig sí féin slán agus nach raibh sí ag iarraidh a bheith ag caint faoi.
Ach i ndeireadh a saoil, éiríonn an tseanbhean cineál scaipthe ina hintinn agus tosaíonn blúirí eolais ag teacht uaithi.
Fiosracht na hóige ag spochadh na mná óige le ceisteanna go leor a chur ar Mhamó, ceisteanna nach mian léise a fhreagairt.
Nuair a thagann mearbhall intinne ar Hana, sceitheann blúirí eolais óna béal a fhágann Levana trína chéile.
Seoltar an bhean óg ar aistear a thugann uirthi gach rud a dúirt a seanmháthair riamh léi a cheistiú. Giúdach a d’éalaigh as an Eastóin sula ndíothófaí í, arb as an scéin sin a tháinig an drogall atá uirthi a scéal a inseacht? Cén fáth nach bhfuil sí ina Giúdach chomh dúthrachtach deabhóideach céanna lena hiníon, a mharaigh an ailse, agus a gariníon óg atá faoina cúram féin is a fir ina seanaois?
De réir mar a ghluaiseann an scéal ó Pháras go dtí an Bhruiséil go hiarthar na hÉireann (Árainn), druideann Levana le fíorscéal a seanmháthar agus leis an tubaiste ba chúis leis an saol rúnda atá caite ag Madame Lazare. Tráthúil go leor, tá aistritheoir Gaelach na Bruiséile, in ann cabhrú léi cuid dá cuid rún a aimsiú le cabhair Bhailiúchán na Scol.
Bhí an gradam ‘Leabhar Gaeilge na Bliana’ buaite ag Madame Lazare ag na An Post Irish Book Awards. agus duais liteartha an Oireachtais chomh maith.
Verona Murphy

Is polaiteoir agus Teachta Dála, ina ball den Ghrúpa Réigiúnach Neamhspleách, as Contae Loch Garman í Verona Murphy (a rugadh sa bhliain 1971). Ceapadh í mar Cheann Comhairle Dháil Éireann ar an 18 Nollaig 2024. Níl aon eagla uirthi roimh chonspóid.
D'fhás Murphy suas sa Ghráinseach, Loch Garman.
Cúlra Fhine Gael atá aici agus tá gréasán tacaíochta láidir aici sa Wexford Independent Alliance. Is minic a chloistear í ar na meáin náisiúnta. Nuair a bhí an pobalóir Mick Wallace i bParlaimint na hEorpa le linn 2019-2024, bhí bratach an neamhspleáigh i Loch Garman ardaithe ag Murphy, agus toghadh í gan mórán dua in Olltoghchán 2020 agus arís in Olltoghchán 2024.
Toghadh Murphy ina Ceann Comhairle ar an 18 Nollaig 2024, an chéad bhean leis an ngradam sin a fháil. Tháinig an ceapachán conspóid.
Bhí cúrsaí ina gcíor thuathail sa 34ú Dáil go minic agus Murphy i mbun. Tharraing na cearta labhartha sa Dáil conspóid.
Cáineadh an cinneadh Verona Murphy a ainmniú le bheith ina Ceann Comhairle toisc gan aon Ghaeilge a bheith aici, rud a bhí riachtanach don phost dar lena réamhtheachtaí.
Dúirt Murphy sular ceapadh í mar Cheann Comhairle go gcuirfeadh sí feabhas ar a cuid Gaeilge agus dheimhnigh sí go raibh sé i gceist aici go mbeadh leibhéal líofachta aici a bheadh “ag teacht” lena ról.
I mí Feabhra 2025, bhí easpa líofachta Gaeilge an Cheann Comhairle i mbéal an phobail mar gheall ar achrann a tarraingíodh sa Dáil nuair a dúirt an Taoiseach Micheál Martin gur “ag insint bréaga” a bhí ceannaire Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald; bhí leas bainte aige as easpa Gaeilge an Cheann Comhairle agus as an teanga féin chun McDonald a mhaslú.

North American Debating Championship

The North American Debating Championship is one of the two official university debate championships of North America. It is sanctioned by the national university debating associations in the United States and Canada, the American Parliamentary Debate Association and the Canadian University Society for Intercollegiate Debate. It has been held each winter on an alternating basis between the United States and Canada since 1992. The host university arranges all judging and is not allowed in the competition. The most frequent hosts have been the University of Toronto and McGill University, which have each hosted the championship three times. Bates College, Cornell University, Johns Hopkins University, and Queen's University have each hosted twice. This tournament, often abbreviated as NorthAms, is not to be confused with the North American Universities Debating Championship, abbreviated as NAUDC, which is hosted separately in the fall of each year as a British Parliamentary Style tournament. The two events are coordinated such that each is hosted by a different country, the United States or Canada, in a given year.
The most recent iteration was held by the Odette School of Business in January 2025. The current North American champions are from the University of Chicago.
Since 1992, the most successful university overall has been Yale University with nine championship victories, including three of the last four. Following it is the University of Toronto with seven wins. After that, Princeton University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and McGill University have two championships each, and no other university has won more than once.
No team has ever repeated as the top team at the championship. Five individuals have won the top team award twice. Most recently, Matthew Song won in 2022 and 2024, representing Yale University. Matthew Wansley of Yale University won back-to-back championships from 2005 to 2007. Prior to that, Nathan MacDonald and Robert Silver won first together for the University of Western Ontario in 1997–1998, then MacDonald for the University of Guelph in 1998–1999, and Silver for the University of Ottawa in 1999–2000. Three people have won the top individual debater award twice: Casey Halladay of the University of Ottawa in 1997–1998 and 1999–2000, Rory Gillis of Yale University in two consecutive years from 2004 to 2006, and Kate Falkenstien of Yale in two consecutive years from 2010 to 2012.
Every year from 1992 to 2001, and biannually from 2003 to 2007, individual public speaking was also an event at the championship. It was run as a parallel tournament, with a grand public speaking final before the final round of debate. After 2007, it was discontinued as APDA had shortened debating tournaments and discontinued public speaking as a regular event at US tournaments. No individual ever repeated as North American Public Speaking Champion. McGill University and the University of Ottawa each had three public speaking champions, the most of any university.

Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album

The Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album is presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement in comedy." The award was awarded yearly from 1959 to 1993 and then from 2004 to present day.
There have been several minor changes to the name of the award over this time:
In 1960 and 1961 two separate awards were presented for the best spoken and for the best musical comedy performance.
In 1994, after four consecutive years of wins by classical music comedy albums, the award was restricted to spoken word comedy albums and moved into the "spoken" field. From then through 2003, it was awarded as the Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy Album.
In 2004 the award was reinstated within the comedy field as the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album, once again allowing musical comedy works to be considered.
Bill Cosby holds the record for most consecutive wins, with six earned between 1965 and 1970. Peter Schickele (of P.D.Q. Bach fame) is the runner-up, with four wins between 1990 and 1993.
The winner is the first-named artist and work for each year, or, for 1960 and 1961, category.

Dulce de membrillo rubio de San Juan

El dulce de membrillo rubio de San Juan es una denominación de origen (DO) argentina que protege e identifica al dulce de membrillo rubio producido en oasis productivos de la provincia de San Juan.​
El dulce de membrillo rubio de San Juan es un producto artesanal típico de la provincia. Su elaboración de un siglo de tradición en conjunto con la geografía característica de San Juan lo convierten en un producto muy diferente al dulce de membrillo industrial y al genérico.​
El color rubio claro, uniforme, con distintas tonalidades hacia el amarillo, naranja o castaño rojizo, son resultado del uso de las variedades de membrillo existentes en San Juan (Criollo y Champion), que poseen atributos distintivos de sabor, aroma y olor derivados de los factores agroecológicos de los valles en que son cultivados. Su elevada cantidad de pectina natural hace innecesario el uso de gelificantes y espesantes y contribuye a eliminar residuos y toxinas del organismo. Se genera debido a la alta heliofanía de San Juan, es decir, el tiempo en que el territorio y sus cultivos reciben radiación solar directa, con más de 300 días de sol por año.​​ A esto se suma un cuidado proceso de selección de frutos sanos, frescos, sin defectos por golpes o plagas y una elaboración a escala artesanal o empresarial, que evita la oxidación.​
Los membrillos son cultivados en varios oasis productivos. Para la elaboración del dulce se utiliza pulpa de membrillo y azúcar, sin agregados. Posee aroma y sabor a membrillo intenso, una textura suave, firme y tierna a la vez. Tiene asimismo una granulometría tal que hace percibir las células pétreas.​
El membrillo es uno de los principales cultivos frutícolas de la provincia de San Juan, que posee aproximadamente unas 700 hectáreas de este cultivo.​ Los productores de dulce de membrillo rubio de San Juan son:
Gâteau Basque

Gâteau Basque (Basque: etxeko bixkotxa; "cake of the house") is a traditional dessert from the North of Pays Basque, a region of France, typically filled with black cherry jam or pastry cream. Gâteau Basque with cream is more typical in the South of Pays Basque, a region of Spain.
Typically Gâteau Basque is constructed from layers of a butter-sugar wheat flour pastry dough (in this case pâte sablée, not brisée) with a filling of either black cherry jam or almond or vanilla pastry cream. It has been argued that only black Xapata cherries native to the Basque Country should be used.
The type of dough used may vary a little. If butter is warmed before mixing with flour the dough will be called pâte sucrée. If it is cold the mixing process will require more work and the dough is called pâte sablée (it is crumblier). The resulting textures are a little different but mostly for the initiated taster. The flour used is a soft wheat flour with little mineral content (that is, a refined flour, common pastry/cake flour) The proportion of sugar used also varies. But the principle of this cake is having a soft shortbread-type dough 3 to 6 mm thick filled with an almond pastry cream, also called frangipane, and with a shiny egg-coating.
The dough is rolled out like a double crust pie and filled with jam or pastry cream. Similar to the Boston cream pie, which is a cake and not a pie, the Gâteau Basque dough produces a crumb-textured pastry that is chewy and tender.
It is traditional to mark a Basque cross on the top if the cake is filled with black cherry jam, or to use a crosshatch pattern on top if filled with pastry cream.
The origins of Gâteau Basque are tied strongly with the town of Cambo-les-Bains, Labourd. It may have originally been made with bread and called bistochak in the 18th century. The fishermen took it out to sea. The first known commercialisation of the cake was by Marianne Hirigoyen in Cambo in the first half of the 19th century. Later editions were flavoured with rum, brought back to France by Basques from the West Indies.
The Gâteau Basque Festival (Fête du Gâteau Basque) is organized each year in Cambo-les-Bains. Eguzkia ("sun" in Basque), an association to promote quality Basque cake, was founded in France in 1994. There is a museum dedicated to the cake, Le musée du Gâteau Basque, in Sare, Labourd.
Goiabada

Goiabada ([goja'badɐ]; from Portuguese goiaba, guava) is a conserve made of red guavas and sugar, commonly found throughout the Portuguese-speaking countries of the world. It dates back to the colonial times of Brazil, where guavas were used as a substitute for the quinces used to make quince cheese. It required an abundance of sugar and slave labor for its production as it was made in large batches within cauldrons cooking over a slow fire. In rural areas of Brazil, it is still commonly made at home for family use or sale.
Very similar to goiabada is the closely related Colombian bocadillo, also made from guava but with more sugar.
It is known as guava paste or guava cheese throughout the English-speaking Americas, especially the Caribbean, and dulce de guayaba, barra de guayaba, pasta de guayaba, bocadillo or guayabate in Spanish-speaking Americas. It is commercially available, most often packaged in flat metal cans, or as long rectangular blocks in chipboard boxes.
It is called perad in Goa (India), a former Portuguese colony.
In Brazil, goiabada is often eaten with Minas cheese in a dessert known as Romeu e Julieta. It is also popular spread on toast at breakfast.
In Portugal, it is used as the filling of the popular bolo de rosas (rose cake) in which a layer of pastry is covered with goiabada, then rolled and cut into pieces that resemble roses. This same cake is called rocambole in Brazil, and also uses a layer of pastry covered with goiabada, then rolled and served, as a Swiss roll. Another popular dessert is the bolo de rolo.
Goiabada may come in many widely different possible textures, ranging from a thin paste, meant to be eaten with a spoon or spread on bread or cakes, to very hard slabs that can be sliced with a knife only with some difficulty. Canned varieties are usually half-way between those extremes, being easily cut into soft slices. The many different kinds of goiabada depend on the type of guava, the proportion of sugar, the amount of water, and the cooking process.
