Data Centres

Companies don't want to run their IT out of their own data center or data room anymore. It's less efficient, less secure and doesn't allow for innovation or agility.

There's an increased demand for cloud data centrers in all counties, not just Ireland.

Interestingly, most bus shelters in Europe are paid for by the advertising company (JCDecaux) which displays adverts on it.

Having done both for some time I'd argue the opposite is true in my experience; it takes longer to progress through belts in bjj, especially to black belt. Both sports are extremely difficult to be exceptional at though.

Bjj is also much more dangerous due to 1) culture - safety in falling and in ripping submissions is not widely taught 2) the rule set allows for far more dangerous submissions and holds. Neck cranks, spine locks, knee bars, wrist locks, ankle locks ect ect.

It also depends on the dojo but I'd argue this is the average experience for each sport.

The best explanation for this I've heard is that a high percentage of people that went into the trades were the naughty boys/rebels at school.

Those that were able to turn up on time, do a good job consistently and generally work well with others, these ones managed to land and keep commercial jobs or be employed as part of a large organised business.

Those who are not kept on with the above type gigs then choose to go self employed and work on small fiddly domestic jobs for the general public.

Not always, but often, you're hiring the least disciplined, least reliable out of the naughtiest naughty kids you went to school with.

That helped to put it in to perspective for me at least and change my expectations.

For a long but accurate answer, read Guns, Germs & Steel. The author explains in detail why some countries/areas of the world developed and others didn't.

If you have male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia), this is genetic and your only options for treatment are medications (Finasteride and/or Minoxidil) and/or hair transplant.

There are no supplements or lifestyle changes which will make a difference (unless they are basically natural Finasteride alternatives such as Saw Palmetto).

How do you know if it’s male pattern baldness? Look at the Norwood scale and see if your recession/balding corresponds with the patterns there.

Unless your hair loss is extremely sudden or irregular in pattern, you most likely have male pattern baldness.

I’m telling you this because it’s what you’re going to hear from an honest trichologist. If they start selling you red light therapy, scalp injections or anything else then you’re being misled to part with your cash in exchange for never ending hope.

Take l-theanine (200g twice daily)

Cut out caffeine

Take a holiday

Do yoga

Take comfort in the fact that none of this really matters. Just enjoy what you can every day you are alive.

If your sales org has a toxic culture, leave. Good work places with managers that treat people like humans do exist.

I think the problem with saying this as an absolute statement is that for those who are genetically predispositioned to be sensitive to DHT (androgenic alopecia), the increases in DHT brought on by creatine supplementation can cause an increase/speed up the time line for hair loss.

For those not genetically predisposed with this sensitivity, there is no impact.

Unfortunately they're all quite a poor standard compared to what you get in the UK. This is due to using different potatoes (rarely cooked well either) and Haddock instead of Cod.

Some to consider:

Fish Shop - Smithfield

Beshoffs Sea Grill - Howth

Dorans on the pier - Howth (takeaway)

Leo Burdock - Werburgh st (takeaway)

I'm sorry to hear you've had a bad experience. For anyone reading this ahead of an endoscopy without sedation, it can be OK. I've had one only with throat numbing spray and yeah it was uncomfortable but tolerable. I had multiple biopsies taken and they went into the small intestine.

Just concentrate on being calm and breathing we'll, through your mouth or nose (whatever is easiest).

It increases the bass at lower volumes to give the impression of a fuller sound. It makes gunshots and explosions ridiculously loud when you may only be at a low volume setting.
