Dry January

The natural world and the artificial world

How to prepare future generations for a workplace dominated by A.I.

Ideally artificial intelligence would leave us more free time to pursue our hobbies …. music, sport, nature etc. but we seem to have been unprepared for the remarkable speed of changes in technology in the recent past.

Highly sophisticated A.I.  is being used while we are still in the industrial era as regards welfare, education and our social structure.

Tell us  it from your viewpoint

Farewell

Ode To My Family sung by Dolores O Riordan

The Cranberries had many hits. This is just one. A very sad and sudden loss for Limerick, Ireland and the world.

2018 Welcome back!

Start the new year well and in good company and what could be better company than a good story?
Come and see if you agree.

18.30h   Wednesday 10th January

    HAPPY EXCITING NEW YEAR! 

WELCOME

The good thing about Christmas in English speaking countries and many others is that everything is over on Christmas Day. The anticipation and build up happen during the month of December. All the family can relax after that and school children enjoy the Christmas holidays with their toys. Also, you have the day off on Boxing Day, 26^th December.

Here in Spain the hustle and the bustle go on until the 6^th January because the children wait to receive their presents from the three kings who arrive with spectacular Christmas parades in every town on the night of the 5^th January. So the Spanish have been faithful to the three kings despite Hollywood, despite television and despite the rest of the world rendering homage to Santa Claus or Father Christmas. That is remarkable. Obviously the three kings are number one here.

Come and tell us about the magic of 6^th January.

Different countries different gestures

Learn that in some countries nodding your head means that you are saying no.

How important is it to know these cultural differences?  😒😑😖😊😟💭😀

CHRISTMAS ART AND CRAFT FAIR IN PLAZA ESPAÑA

Also in Plaza de España, at the cines Renoir here is a film you don´t want to miss.

El Viaje

This film comes out on 8th December in Madrid. You can see it in English with Spanish subtitles. Forced to travel together  two politicians from Northern Ireland who were poles apart in their political views are able at last to talk to each other and find some common ground to build a path to peace in Ulster.

The film gives credit where credit is due.
