ADULT Children; These days, you hear more and more about parents and adult children being estranged from each other.

REFLECTION: Take criticism seriously, but not personally. If there is truth or merit in the criticism, try to learn from it. Otherwise, let it roll right off you.
DRUG thalidomide, It is estimated that more than 24,000 babies were born with congenital disabilities worldwide as a side effect of drug.
MARGARET STACK (1883-1959) The Cook
Margaret Stack worked as the Wickwire family cook from 1904 to 1911. She emigrated from Athea, County Limerick, Ireland in 1904. Her aunt, Catherine Stack Quirke, already lived in Cortland, and may have arranged for her employment in the Wickwire mansion. Margaret was single and 21 years old when she began working for the Wickwires.
Stack socialized with the substantial Irish population in Cortland. A March 19, 1910 article in the Cortland Standard describes a St. Patrick’s Day Banquet, hosted by Ladies Auxiliary of the Ancient Order of Hiberians (AOH). The AOH was an Irish Catholic fraternal organization who assisted Irish immigrants and protected Catholic churches from anti-Catholic discrimination. Margaret Stack danced at this event as one of a four-person Irish reel. A reel is a traditional Irish step dance.

Right from the start, we were graciously given the space and freedom to have a say in what we do; even designing our very own group logo. We have had the pleasure of volunteering at our local Sera Husky rescue centre as well as visiting nursing homes, providing some good music, song and smiles. https://listowelparish.com/

TALK: ‘Excavations at Tlachtga, Athboy Co. Meath 2014-2016’ presented by our members Dr Steve Davis and Cathy Moore as part of IAI’s 2023 Heritage Week. This talk details the findings of excavations at the Hill of Ward, Co. Meath from 2014-2016, funded by the Royal Irish Academy and Meath Co. Council. It outlines the biography of the monumental complex, from Bronze Age enclosure to high-status early medieval site (‘Tlachtga’) through at least four stages of development. Artefactual and ecofactual evidence is discussed in an attempt to provide context for this significant place, its landscape and how it has changed through four millennia.

How Long Do Solar Batteries Last?
The lifespan of a solar battery depends on several factors, including the type of battery and how often it is charged and discharged. Generally, a well-maintained solar battery can last up to 10 years. However, it is essential to note that the battery’s performance will gradually decline over time.
Conclusion
Well, you have everything you need to know about solar battery storage! Solar batteries offer many benefits, including saving money on energy bills, reducing your carbon footprint, and even providing power during a blackout.
Of course, there are some downsides, such as the upfront cost and potential maintenance issues.
But as solar technology advances and costs come down, we can only expect to see more and more homes taking advantage of this renewable energy source.
So join the solar revolution and maximize your energy efficiency with a solar battery storage system!
