While more probably a local priest from Jerpoint Abbey, it lies in the medieval lost town of Newtown Jerpoint, just west of the Cistercian Jerpoint Abbey. It is located southwest of Thomastown in the grounds of the privately owned Jerpoint Park. St. Nicholas's Church and graveyard are in the town, where the earthly remains of St. Nicholas of Myra are said to be buried. Belmore House 	Tomb of Saint Nicholas

The lost town of Newtown Jerpoint was founded by either Earl Marshall or Griffin Fitzwilliam in the 12th century at the main crossing of the River Nore by a toll bridge, giving Jerpoint its name, meaning 'Nore bridge'. It was a 	Tomb of Saint Nicholas

Newtown Jerpoint lasted at least into the 17th century, but eventually declined, perhaps from the loss of its bridge and the re-routing of the road. Its visible remains and its proximity to one of Ireland's best-known and well-preserved Cistercian abbeys makes Newtown Jerpoint one of the most important sites in the study of medieval settlements in Ireland. The ruins of St Nicholas's medieval parish church dates from the 12th to 13th century, with a late medieval 	Tomb of Saint Nicholas

Belmore House was commissioned as a hunting lodge by Earl Belmore in the 18th century and designed by the Irish architect Sir Richard Morrison. An extension of the house was planned as a square villa at the east end of the house with the rest of the house to become a service wing, but it was never built.

The grave's stone slab is carved with the image of a cleric with the heads of two knights behind each shoulder, said to be those of the two crusaders who, so the story goes, brought Nicholas's remains to Ireland. Evidence lends some credence to this tale as the Normans in Kilkenny were keen collectors of religious relics, and it is known that Norman knights participated in the Holy Land Crusades.

Members of this genus have no stems but have five pairs of feathery arms arising from a central concave disc. There are a number of cirri or unbranched appendages on a low, cone-shaped dorsal ossicle, a bone-like structure in the centre of the disc.

4257503	Serious Sam Serious Sam Serious Sam is a video game series created and primarily developed by Croteam. It consists predominantly of first-person shooters. The series follows the advances of mercenary Sam Serious" Stone against Mental, an extraterrestrial overlord who attempts to destroy humanity at various points in time. The first game, "", was released for Microsoft Windows in March 2001. Several spin-offs were developed by other developers, such as a Palm OS conversion of "The First Encounter" by InterActive Vision, "" (on GameCube and PlayStation 2) by Climax Solent, and "Serious Sam Advance" (on Game Boy Advance) by Climax London. All three  were published by Global Star Software. Development. Croteam created a proprietary engine for use in both "" and "". At the time Croteam was making "Serious Sam", licensing other engines was costly (upwards of ), so they made their own from scratch, following the feature set of the first "Doom" engine, which simulated 3D spaces in 2D, and did not include up or down targeting. As they were creating their own, both "Duke Nukem 3D" (which added up-and-down freelook) and "Quake" (a fully 3D rendered environment) were released, requiring Croteam to incorporate these features into their engine for their game to  be competitive. Development was further complicated when the first 3D accelerators were released, forcing Croteam to develop for hardware rendering over software. Recognizing they needed to bring something new to what other games were pushing at that time, Croteam decided that they would make their Serious Engine support extremely large environments, with virtual view distances of over a kilometre, physics support, and capable of rendering up to a hundred enemies on screen at a time, and do this on the processing power of what current low-end computers using the original Pentium CPUs could handle. The team devised ways of  doing object path caching so that they only had to perform collision detection with environmental features every few seconds rather than every cycle. Collision detection was also sped up by approximating the environment with spheres rather than boxes. This also enabled them to have multidirection gravity which was used for some of the game's secret areas. Serious Engine 1 is available as open-source software. A more powerful iteration of the Serious Engine was developed for use in "Serious Sam 2" and is known as Serious Engine 2. It supports many features of modern GPUs such as pixel and  vertex shaders, HDR, bloom and parallax mapping. Serious Engine 3 was used in "" and "". It includes detailed shading, and enemies are re-modelled to look more realistic. This engine is also being developed to harness the full capacity of HDR and high definition mapping. An updated version, Serious Engine 3.5, is used in "Serious Sam 3". Serious Sam is voiced by John J. Dick. After the release of both HD remakes of the original "Serious Sam" episodes, Devolver Digital re-released both classic encounters in 2010 and "Serious Sam 2" in 2011.
