Liam McCormick was an Irish architect born in 1916 who is renowned for his modernist church designs in Donegal, particularly St. Aengus' Church in Burt. The church uses circular geometry inspired by a nearby Bronze Age fort, with interior and exterior rings to house facilities in the crescent-shaped space between. Natural light illuminates the altar through an oculus in the tower above, symbolizing God's light. McCormick's innovative and metaphor-rich design for St. Aengus' Church cemented his reputation as one of Ireland's most influential 20th century architects.

A guide to burial grounds in Leamington SpaMark Ellis
This slideshow provides information on the various historic burial grounds that existed in Leamington, including their locations, dates of use, and current status.

This 18th century manuscript is the meticulous record by an early Dublin meteorologist, who documented the weather in the city on a daily basis during the period 1716 to 1734. The manuscript is part of the Gilbert Collection and is held in the Special Collections of Dublin City Libraries. Until recently it was not known who the author of the work was, but thanks to the research of historian Alan Smyth the diarist has now been identified as Isaac Butler (c1690 – 1755).

This presentation discusses Anglo Irish Bank’s early days and its move into the property and developer niche. It covers the ‘relationship banking’ model where Anglo worked with developers during the day and entertained them at night. The story developed as we moved into the boom years caused by access to cheap funding through being in the Euro and the rise in house prices.
Following the crash and the infamous night of the bank guarantee Simon outlines what the bank bailouts are costing the State, and also details some of the dubious practices since uncovered that the bank was using to try and cover up its problems.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Saint-Philippe-du-Roule was designed by Jean-François-Chalgrin in 1764 and built between 1774 and 1784. As shown here, and as built,
there was no ambulatory behind the apse, as in the Pro-Cathedral. This was re-ordered in 1846 by Hippolyte Godde to the present plan
shown. This means that the apsidal arrangement in the Pro-Cathedral was not copied from Saint-Philippe-du-Roule.
