St Brigid's Celebration - Intimate Performances from Powerful Irish Women
Join us in welcoming spring with a celebration of powerful Irish female talent as part of the Irish Embassy's St Brigid's Day Festival presented by Tara Flynn. This night of musical and spoken word performances is the perfect way to wave goodbye to winter and look forward to the year ahead with some of the most creative and talented female performers Ireland has to offer.
There will be individual performances by the artists, followed by a panel discussion with Irish women who came to London in the 50/60s. From 10pm until midnight, there will be trad music on in the Hub bar with Elaine Finn-Davies (accordion), Angela Brooks (fiddle) and Rita Farrell (pipes/flute).
Tara Flynn - MC
Tara came to international attention in 2013 for her satirical video Racist B&B, for which she was named Satirist of the Year at the Swift Satire Festival. She also co-wrote and appeared in the marriage equality campaign PSA Armagayddon with Kevin McGahern. She did stand up for many years and is a popular host and MC. She's a core member of Dublin Comedy Improv. Recent TV includes Irish Pictorial Weekly (RTE), Moone Boy (Sky 1), Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle (BBC) and Line of Duty (BBC). She played Miss Fitt in Out of Joint's All That Fall, directed by Max Stafford-Clark. Tara is the author of Irish bestseller You're Grand: the Irishwoman's Secret Guide to Life (Hachette Books Ireland 2014) and Giving Out Yards: the Art of Complaint, Irish Style (Hachette). She is a regular contributor to radio & TV discussion panels. Recently she has launched her own podcast 'Taranoia' and 'Between Ourselves', a BBC Radio 4 show with Marian Keyes.
Angela Scanlon - Panel host
Angela co-hosts the legendary BBC2 show Robot Wars alongside Dara Ó Briain. She is a regular presenter on The One Show and has recently joined BBC Radio 2 presenting her own show "Angela Scanlon on Sunday". Earlier this year she fronted a BBC One documentary 'World's Oldest Family'. Angela's first major documentary, OI GINGER, aired in 2014 on RTE to critical acclaim – the show trended worldwide on Twitter and showed off Angela's playful presenting style and her ability to dig deep into a subject matter. The success of the show led to a follow-up series, Angela Scanlon: Full Frontal in 2015, where she tackled taboo subjects such as extreme makeovers, fitness and nudity. A further series followed Angela Scanlon's Close Encounters, which saw her dive into the world of WWE with world champion Sheamus, head to NYC to chat books and babies with Dawn O'Porter and take on Katie Hopkins in a very honest and candid interview. Shortly after, she co-hosted the BBC's live coverage of 'T in the Park' and, most recently, BBC Three's Red Carpet BAFTA Show where she interviewed nominees including Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett and Idris Elba. Angela previously co-hosted the travel series Getaways with Joe Lindsey for BBC Northern Ireland. Following that, she received the role as digital host of The Voice UK 2016.
Emma Langford
In 2018 Emma Langford's debut album Quiet Giant garnered huge critical acclaim and steered the artist toward winning the inaugural RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Award for Best Emerging Artist. She has since toured internationally, gracing festival stages in Ireland, the UK, Germany, Austria and the US. This year, with the help of a star-studded backing band and Grammy-nominated duo The Production Suite, she will release her highly anticipated second album, Sowing Acorns, a fusion of folk, motown, trad and pop genres distilled into 13 sensational original tracks. The young artist deftly weaves that fine art of story-telling into her captivating live performances, with audiences often moved to tears - usually of laughter. Langford has proven herself a genre-defying artist, with lyrics that lure you deep into the narrative, and a voice that packs a punch beneath its delicate veneer.
Sarah Clancy is a poet from Galway City although she now lives in Clare. She is the author of three collections of poetry, including The Truth and Other Stories ( Salmon Poetry, 2014), Stacey and the Mechanical Bull (Lapwing Press, Belfast, 2011) and Thanks for Nothing, Hippies (Salmon Poetry, 2012).

RICHMOND, Va. – Freshman Mo Alie-Cox from VCU Men's Basketball program received recognition for his outstanding start to his academic career on Thursday when he was received the "Black History in the Making" Award from the Wilder School.
Alie-Cox was chosen by the Criminal Justice program as its award winner. He was recognized at an awards ceremony last night at Grace Street Theatre. The Middleburg, Va. native earned Dean's List honors during the fall semester.
"In his short time here at VCU, Mo has done a phenomenal job of focusing on his studies and really working hard to achieve his goals in the classroom," Associate Vice Provost of Student Services and Senior Associate Athletic Director for Academic Support Sofia Hiort-Wright said. "It's not easy for freshman to transition to college so quickly, but Mo's done a great job and we're extremely proud of him for earning this recognition."
The Department of African American Studies at VCU put on their annual Black History in the Making Awards, which spotlight students who are in the process of making black history.

Why Matthew McConaughey Is One Of the Bravest Actors Out There
Diana Drumm
@@dianaddrumm
Matthew McConaughey is charismatic. It's obvious
and oft repeated, but true. The actor with a distinctly Texan twinkle
in his eye and drawl from his grin manages to draw the audience to himself
onscreen fairly consistently, whether he is at the film's center or
on its periphery. His career has seen some highs ("Amistad"), some lows ("Surfer, Dude"), and some up-for-debate rom-com bows ("How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days"), but McConaughey has persevered
onto a recent string of risky, off-the-beaten-path roles and giving
one of the bravest and not-so-coincidentally most critically acclaimed
performances of the year in "Dallas Buyers Club."
READ MORE: Review: Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar' is Smart Sentimentalism as We've Never Seen It Before
Over two decades ago (according to McConaughey's March
interview on NPR), the 23 year-old University of Texas
film student was out at a bar with his girlfriend at the time, getting
a few free drinks off of a classmate who was bartending, and met casting
director Don Phillips. Four hours later and after they closed down the
bar, Phillips turned and asked McConaughey, "You ever acted before?"
This exchange led to a script six hours later and an audition in which
he nearly didn't get the part. According to his interview
last year with the Chicago Tribune, with McConaughey's
combed hair, ironed shirt and clean-shaven face, the director said,
"You're not this guy." Not so easily disheartened, McConaughey
pressed further, "No, but I know who this guy is," and went on to slouch into character convincingly enough
to get role. The director was Richard Linklater, the "guy" was Dave
Wooderson, and the film was "Dazed and Confused."
At the film's 20th anniversary NYFF screening
earlier this month, Linklater corroborated this, saying his initial
reaction to McConaughey was that he was "too good-looking" but after
the actor "settled in," he saw that "Matthew was so perfect when
he fell into that character" of the government employee still living
out his high school glory days and preying on high school girls ("I
get older, they stay the same age."). According to Linklater, McConaughey
based his performance of Wooderson partially off of one of his older
brothers and Jim Morrison, with the latter being the specific inspiration
for the now-iconic "All right, all right, all right" line (which
McConaughey recently quoted in his HFA
acceptance speech last week).
During the same Q&A, co-star Parker Posey shared
that on-set, McConaughey had a certain aura around him, enough of one
that the film's makeup artist declared to Posey, "He's going to
be a big star," and on first sight, she immediately asked Linklater
if she could be in a scene with him (which is how Darla ended up at
the Emporium pool hall and, with a little more back story, greeting
Wooderson with a slap on the derriere). For a first film role and in
a supporting part, McConaughey sure left his mark, receiving praise
from critics and audiences alike. Through his off-the-charts likeability,
McConaughey managed to carve a place for a very seedy character in the
hearts of high school nostalgists everywhere and to begin to pave his
own way into movies.
Stuck a few years on the Hollywood sidelines (including
a blink-and-you'll-miss-it role in Angels in the Outfield), McConaughey made a bigger name for
himself in the late '90s with highlights including Joel Schumacher's
legal thriller "A Time To Kill," Steven Spielberg's historical drama "Amistad" and
Robert Zemeckis' sci-fi "Contact." In each of these roles, McConaughey exuded a rugged
idealism which was neither naïve nor delusional but convincingly portrayed
the character's conviction. This ability combined with his chiseled
good (but not too pretty) looks and six-pack parlayed itself into a
few higher-profile studio roles in would-be blockbusters and romantic
comedies. Or as William Friedkin (who would later direct McConaughey
in "Killer Joe")
said in an interview with the A.V. Club, "If you're
that good-lucking, they just want you to be that good-looking and make
love convincingly to the leading lady." Unfortunately, these became
his trademarks throughout the 2000's alongside gratuitous paparazzi
snaps of him exercising while shirtless. (I'd like to blame this on
a curse cast on him during a 2000 appearance in the "Sex and the City" episode "Escape from New York," but no
one else is buying it.)
After the 2009 bomb "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," McConaughey decided to take a break
from rom-coms (though never having officially "retired" from the
genre) and looked towards smaller, riskier projects. Going back to his
lawyerly roots, he played a defense attorney in Brad Furman's "The Lincoln Lawyer" and a district attorney in Richard Linklater's Bernie (their third film together after 1998's "The Newton
Boys"). Having matured out of his heyday of young, earnest lawyers,
a more tarnished McConaughey brought an admirable combination of pragmatism
and dark wit to both roles that had not been showcased in previous performances.
With the former being a surprise hit and the latter giving him some
more critical cred (winning the National Society of Film Critics and
New York Film Critics Circle Awards for Best Supporting Actor, both
marking his first-time nominations from those bodies), McConaughey decided
to keep the momentum going on this "renaissance."
Keeping on this darker, more serious, winding-with-risks
road, McConaughey signed on to play a detective/contract killer in William
Friedkin's "Killer
Joe," based on the first play of Tracy Letts ("August: Osage County"). Remember, this is the same actor who
sang a "You're So Vain" duet with Kate Hudson and talked about
why brown M&Ms were his favorite with Jennifer Lopez. How did he
wind up in a NC-17 crime thriller involving an infamously unsavory chicken
wing scene? In an interview with Movieline, Friedkin explained that
he had seen McConaughey on a television talk show and saw the real McConaughey,
"not this guy in the romcoms." Recognizing that McConaughey "had
the right accent" and "could charm the mustard off a hotdog" (there's
that charisma again), Friedkin sent him the script, which the actor
originally tossed aside. After thinking it over, McConaughey "saw
the humor in it as well as the danger," and as Friedkin continued
to share, "he decided to take control of his own career and challenge
himself with this." This challenge paid off as McConaughey won his
first Saturn Award (also his first award for a leading role) and was
nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead.
With a hat trick of critical triumphs in 2011, McConaughey
kept on going with more unconventional roles in 2012 with Lee Daniels' "The Paperboy,"
Jeff Nichols' "Mud" and Steven Soderbergh's second-to-last feature film "Magic Mike."
In "The Paperboy,"
McConaughey played both against and with type as an idealistic reporter
who's also a closeted homosexual. Premiering at Cannes, "The Paperboy" didn't fare too well with critics (with a "Rotten"
on Rotten Tomatoes and a "C"
average on Criticwire), but McConaughey escaped the
reviews relatively unscathed, with co-stars Zac Efron and John Cusack
receiving most of the vitriol. Also premiering at Cannes that year, "Mud" was hailed
by critics (with Certified Fresh 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, a B+ average
on Criticwire and Godfrey Cheshire calling it "The Best
Southern Film in Years") with specific praise for
McConaughey's performance as the titular Mud, an on-the-run murderer
hiding out on an island in the middle of the Mississippi River and a
role which had been written by Nichols with McConaughey in mind from
the very beginning back in the '90s (after the writer-director saw
him in John Sayles' "Lone Star").
Not hitting the festival circuit, "Magic Mike" was the smash hit of that summer, grossing over
$167 million worldwide off of a $7 million budget. Coincidentally enough
(considering the curse proposed above), the fact that during its opening
weekend its audience was 73% female led Warner Bros. President of Domestic
Distribution to compare its success to that of the "Sex and the City" movie. On a fun trivia note, it took only
ten minutes of Soderbergh pitching the film over the phone for McConaughey
to laughingly accept the role of Dallas (who he called "a man of action"),
the former exotic dancer turned strip club owner with sights on a strip
club empire.
The role became the first of McConaughey's to receive serious
(and semi-serious) Oscar buzz and though he did not receive
a nomination, he did win Best Supporting Male at the Independent Spirit
Awards and Best Supporting Actor a second year in a row from the National
Society of Film Critics and the New York Film Critics Circle Awards.
Although many critics focused on his Academy Awards snub,
it should also be noted that the MTV Movie Awards overlooked him for
Best Shirtless Performance, in favor of his co-star Channing Tatum,
leaving us to ponder whether awards actually mean anything anymore.
While on the topic of awards, 2013 marks Matthew McConaughey's
latest and, dare we write, greatest role yet. As a culmination of a
long career buildup (see above, if you scrolled down/over), McConaughey
has reached the pinnacle of his indie rebirth with his bravest and riskiest
role yet in Jean-Marc Vallée's "Dallas Buyers Club." As Ron Woodroof, McConaughey plays a bigoted,
drinking, drug-abusing, fucking without condoms, borderline criminal,
Texan electrician/bookie/bull rider/"drug" dealer who contracts
H.I.V. that later develops into AIDS. Having lost 47 pounds for the
part of Woodroof, McConaughey is barely recognizable at first sight
onscreen. Then you begin to notice the distinct, though now much rougher
and rawer, swagger and charisma punching out of his skeletal frame.
Funnily enough, when asked at a TIFF roundtable about
whether Woodroof could be a continuation of Dave Wooderson ("Dazed and Confused") after a bit of a discussion about his weight
fluctuations for roles over the years, McConaughey laughingly said,
"Wooderson and Woodroof? Oh that's what got you, the 'Wood'
part. I never put that together. No, I don't think so…" and continued,
"That's a much larger change than going from 210 to 135 [lbs.],
from Wooderson to Woodroof, no… I think Wooderson is doing just fine
wherever he is." So no, our favorite '70s creeper did not catch
a terminal STD, or at least not AIDS, and you can catch a glimpse of
an updated, Linklater-approved Wooderson in this 2012
Butch Walker and the Black Widows music video.
Receiving a 30-days-left-to-live prognosis, Woodroof
does not take the news sitting down, literally bursting in and out of
hospital rooms (or at least to great dramatic effect onscreen). In the
film and in real life, he fought like hell, researching all he could
about H.I.V. and AIDS and finding means outside the medical establishment
for survival (or as McConaughey reflected, "A guy with a seventh grade
education and he became a damn scientist of H.I.V. He studied that and
knew more than a lot of the doctors did and did his own research.").
Inadvertently, he helped many people along the way by dealing healthier,
FDA-unapproved medicine through the legal loophole of a buyers club
(hence "Dallas
Buyers Club"). In the film, Woodroof befriends Rayon, an A.I.D.S.-infected
homosexual transvestite (played by Jared Leto in a transformative performance),
a relationship that does not deviate from Woodroof's stock character
as McConaughey clarifies that its progression is "on a business sense
first, and then on a more human level where they give a damn about each
The role of Woodroof is remarkable not only in that
his story dealt with contracting H.I.V. from a staunch heterosexual,
let alone bigoted, point of view during the earlier days of the AIDS
epidemic (the film starts with the news Rock Hudson's death), but
also that the character never feels some sort of grandiose epiphany
to change his ways (an obligatory Hollywood trope) or a greater character
arch beyond self-preservation, remaining a real down-right jerk until
the end. Identifying these two elements as what drew him to the role,
McConaughey explained with the latter that there was never "that third
act turn of 'woe be my ways,' 'I'm sorry,' 'I need to be
the white knight and do good now,' " and that such a turn "would
have been false, it would have been bullshit."
In approaching this character's story, McConaughey
(a co-producer on the film) said, "Stay with the anarchy of this guy.
Stay with the bigoted bastard. Stay with the guy's who is out for
self-preservation. Stay with the guy as a businessman. The guy wants
to be Scarface, man" and that then through this man's humanity and
without shoving a saint-faced turnaround down the audience's throat,
"the cause, and the crusader, and the activist will be revealed."
Comparing the role to one of his all-time favorite films "Hud," McConaughey continued to share, "Whether you like him
or not, you respect him at the end of the story because you're like,
'I can't believe somebody has the courage to be that much of an
ass and can still sleep at night' … This is a character who, like
him or not, you're like, 'Well, that's just who he is.' And
if you can go 'that's who he is,' then you get the human. And
if you've got the human, he can be a bastard, a homophobe, a bigot,
Tuning into Woodroof's driving force of rage, McConaughey
gives a commanding, sometimes chilling, warts-and-all performance, fully
encapsulating the really awful, politically incorrect elements of the
guy while also shedding a light on his deeper core. Rather than assuming
an attitude or blending together a few key characteristics, McConaughey
became Woodroof, an undeniably unique and heavily flawed character.
As an actor, McConaughey stuck to his gut in following the basic crux
of this man's story to the end. In another's hands, Woodroof most
likely would have been intolerable, let alone unlikable, and/or fallen
into the trappings of self-righteousness. Instead, McConaughey and his
unique combination of earnestness and charisma enabled this performance
to bring forth an unadulterated conviction that rises beyond the character
flaws. In so doing, the character strikes the audience to their own
most human core, that of self-preservation and survival, turning it
into an admirable quality and the character into a true anti-hero.
In the role of Ron Woodroof, Matthew McConaughey took
on the bravest role of his career, with the challenge being due to more
than just character complexities. Dallas Buyers Club tackles issues ranging from H.I.V. and AIDS
to homosexuality to big corporations to the medical establishment, with
McConaughey as the de facto face of the project. A small independent
film years in the making (after a few team changes, director Jean-Marc
Vallée joined in 2010 and filming started in 2012), it was shot in
New Orleans over the course of 6 weeks with an estimated $4 million
budget. In 2012, the production became international news due to tabloids
picking up images of a very gaunt McConaughey. With that, anticipation
began to build and Oscar buzz began to swirl even before the film hit
the editing room. This combined with McConaughey's recent upswing
meant that "Dallas
Buyers Club" could either cement him as a serious dramatic actor
in an echelon he had yet to reach or leave him in the dust of a few
smaller, low-profile (outside of the film world) successes.
The risk has already begun to reap a few rewards with
McConaughey winning a Hollywood Award for Best Actor and a pending nomination
for the Gotham Award for Best Actor. It's not even Halloween and many
have begun to declare McConaughey a frontrunner in the Best Actor Oscar
race, including our own Peter Knegt. Whether or not McConaughey
wins the bald-headed golden statue, his performance has earned a spot
amongst film's bravest performances and this role will go down in
history as a career-defining one for the actor.
McConaughey himself looks at this three-year upswing
simply as "a really healthy time in my career." After being pigeonholed
in the system for a decade, he took his work in his own hands and changed
course towards more fulfilling roles — "I'm enjoying and loving
acting more than I ever have and I'm getting an experience from my
work." With Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" being released next month (Nov. 15th)
and Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" lined up for 2014, it looks like McConaughey is
on track for even more success both commercially and critically along
with his probably Oscar nomination.

By the early s, Spanish reports indicated that there were Utes living in northwestern Arizona, north of the Colorado and San Juan Rivers, and in eastern Colorado.

Ordinance Regulating Cell Phone Towers When Proposed Project Is Not a Land Development Nor a Subdivision
Does a Tower Company Have to Comply With An Ordinance Regulating Cell Phone Towers If its Proposed Project Is Not a Land Development Nor a Subdivision ? In Tu-Way Tower Co. v. Zoning Hearing Board of Township of Salisbury, 688 A.2d 744 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1997), this Court held that a special exception filing made by Tu-Way was not a land development. Tu-Way made this argument so as to avoid the application of the pending ordinance doctrine. Tu-Way proposed to add 200 feet to its existing tower and to construct two additional towers and accessory buildings, which, in it words, would allow it to "subdivide" its new tower capacity by entering multiple "leases" with its new customers. The Court held that these "leases" were licenses because they did not divide the land, but rather, conveyed antenna space on Tu-Way's towers. Indeed, Tu-Way's interest in the land was unchanged. Thus, the Court held that Tu-Way's proposed project was neither a land development nor a subdivision, thereby requiring Tu-Way to comply with the new ordinance regulating cell phone towers.

Horton International UK Expands Global Healthcare Arm
September 14, 2020 – Horton International UK has expanded with the addition of Mark Johnson as senior partner of its Oxford-based global healthcare arm. His appointment reflects the company's ambition to grow its services to support specialized biotechs access specialized talent.
"Mark has an impeccable reputation within the biotechnology space, with particular emphasis on helping cell and gene companies access top talent," said Dafydd Wright, managing partner. "Both his industry and consultancy experience bring a unique perspective to our clients and he is an excellent addition to the team."
With a background in manufacturing/quality and development for the vaccine industry, Mr. Johnson's expertise in executive search is for the pharmaceutical, life sciences and healthcare industries, from board level to middle management. For the past four years, he has focused on building high performing leadership/ technical teams for cell and gene therapy companies.
Most recently, he was a partner with global life sciences recruitment firm The RSA Group and has spent years focused upon building high-performance leadership and technical teams for fast growing biotechnology and cell and gene therapy companies, gaining a skill-set and level of expertise in these fields.
"I'm delighted to be joining what I know to be an incredibly dynamic and experienced team," said Mr. Johnson. "I believe there is a gap in the executive search market for us to partner with the advanced therapies sector, and this constitutes an exciting opportunity for Horton International to lead the way in this respect."
Global Search Firm
Recently named within the prestigious Hunt Scanlon Media's Global 40 Executive Search Companies, Horton International is a global retained executive search firm with more than 40 offices in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The firm works in close tandem with clients' internal staffing organizations and line managers. Horton offers solutions to recruiting and resourcing challenges for a diverse range of organizations, from small, privately held start-ups to leading global corporations.
Keep Calm and Recruit: Why Now is the Best Time to Assess Your Talent Assets
With all the drama around the coronavirus crisis, it can be easy to lose sight of the fact that it might – just might, and with luck – be short-lived. When that happens, the world can start to get back to normal.
"Many companies took advantage of the recent easy, good times to build their businesses," said Gary Woollacott, managing partner at Horton International. "Now that their sectors have shrunk back, those companies are exposed. The rest of us might also be feeling the pinch, but business goes on." He recalled client meetings during the 1997 Southeast Asian financial crisis: "I have 10 people, now I see that only four are any good. I need to retrench six and hire two more; can you help?" Well, yes we can.
In June, Horton added Mr. Wright as managing partner of its global healthcare arm. Beginning his career as a research scientist for the biotechnology and brewing industries, Mr. Wright brings more than 18 years' experience of international life sciences resourcing to the role, including 12 years in both consultant and management roles for a global, executive-level interim management service.
"Despite these challenging times, Horton International's portfolio grows as we continue to identify highly-qualified candidates for specific senior-level positions," said Mr. Wright. "Our retained search service is justly renowned for the quality and performance of our candidates and this is testament to the drive, commitment and quality of our hiring and talent advisory teams."

ReadyLift Suspension was founded on the principals of developing a line of economical suspension leveling and mild lifting products that would allow truck and SUV owners the ability to "level" or lift their vehicle in order to install plus-size wheels and tires. Until several years ago, truck and SUV owners had limited options available to them if they wanted to purchase larger aftermarket wheels and tires without "rubbing". There were virtually no companies developing quality front suspension leveling products that would simply "level" out a truck or SUV. ReadyLift realized that there was a huge consumer market that didn't want an expensive tall lift kit that would compromise gas mileage and that important nice factory ride. The product line of ReadyLift Suspension was developed to provide consumers with a cost-effective alternative for their needs, essentially designing the exact product they were looking for. That product is one that would take the "rake" out of the vehicle by raising the front end up enough to make the vehicle sit level from front to rear while affording the consumer the ability to purchase the wheels and tires they wanted. And most importantly, to do so without compromising the quality of the factory ride and handling.
How can ReadyLift accomplish all of this while maintaining or improving the factory ride quality? ReadyLift suspension kits are designed to retain the strong and durable factory springs and shocks. More importantly, ReadyLift lift kits are engineered to maintain the factory suspension geometry and suspension travel. Why throw out a perfectly good set of springs and shocks? The factory springs and shocks are much more durable than in the past and the manufacturer spent many hours to design them for the optimal ride quality and durability. Why spend thousands on a tall lift kit when you can spend much less for a well engineered ReadyLift mild lift kit. Don't waste your money and get exactly what you need from ReadyLift. ReadyLift has what you need and at a price that you can afford.
