Ever arrived back from holiday with the feeling that you need another holiday to get over the first one? Leave some days to be spontaneous, agrees Dr Rowe. 3) Be mindful of diminishing returnsThe positive effects of a break on health and wellbeing are short-lived, says Lodola. “Your brain seeks novelty,” says Dr Rowe, “so new experiences boost dopamine – the brain’s pleasure and reward system. It's important to recognise when a holiday is a holiday and not just a trip9) Or at least put the phone down occasionally .

Read More:The money will allow for new local partnerships to undertake enterprising projects and create a network of “protected landscapes” across the country, it added. Julian Glover, Heritage Fund trustee, said: “We have some of the most beautiful, loved and famous landscapes in the world but they can do a lot more for nature and more for people. “The National Lottery Heritage Fund has set a model with this excellent initiative, which government and the private sector should follow in the race to halt the decline of nature.”Landscapes Connection is the latest National Lottery Heritage Fund initiative, and was shaped in consultation with stakeholder groups right across the UK, the organisation said.

However, there’s a new kid on the block: The ‘Atlantic diet.’ Before you despair, let me explain what this comprises. ResearchThe University Hospital of Santiago de Compostela conducted a study in 2014-15 and found that what they dubbed the Atlantic diet reduced metabolic syndrome by one-third over six months. A butcher in Fisterra, northern Spain, told The Guardian: “It’s a way of living and a way of doing things: The Atlantic diet is a diet that relies on good quality ingredients,” he says. If I lived closer to a good fish shop, I think I’d eat somethinglike the Atlantic dietPersonal preferencesIf I lived closer to a good fish shop, I think I’d eat something like the Atlantic diet.

Irish Medical emigration is not a new phenomenon. The majority of these doctors ended up working in England, or with the British military in some far-flung destination. Many Irish doctors at the time were not particularly well-off, although there were exceptions. In the 100 years from 1860-1960, our little island produced more medical graduates than the system could absorb, which was another reason for emigration. The issue of Irish medical emigration is a complex one, and all that these column inches allow is a skim across its surface, rather than a deep dive.

AI roles are leading a recovery in employment in the Irish tech sector, after the so-called ‘tech wreck’ wave of job losses that struck the industry in 2022 and 2023. The tracker is based on research which analyses data from LinkedIn’s professional network, assessing the skills of existing professionals and skills required by organisations across the country. The latest research found a 142pc increase in demand for AI professionals followed by data analytics (36pc) and cloud computing (21pc). It contrasts with numbers from the IDA earlier this month that showed tech hiring still fairly strained. In the first six months of this year, IDA Ireland said it supported 131 investments, most outside Dublin, that will enable future delivery of 8,900 jobs.

This according to the forum will end the injustice that has continued for 36 years to Romi Konkani. There is also a demand to ensure equal financial support for the Roman script and that Konkani in Roman script be taught in schools from class I to XII. Be that as it may, it is pertinent to note that Konkani in the Roman script is also used in tiatr. Even though Romi Konkani is widely used by tens of thousands of Goans, it is not recognized by law. The usage of Romi Konkani was seen as representative of the Goan Catholic identity.

Thriston Lawrence holds narrow lead midway through final round at the 152nd OpenBy Phil Casey, PA Golf CorrespondentSouth African Thriston Lawrence held a narrow lead midway through the final round as the 152nd Open headed for a thrilling climax at Royal Troon. A birdie on the first gave Horschel the ideal start, but a bogey on the third allowed England’s Justin Rose to take over top spot thanks to birdies on the second and fourth. Playing alongside Horschel, Lawrence was reaping the rewards for an attacking approach and birdied the third, fourth, seventh and ninth to edge a shot in front of Rose on seven under par. Horschel and US PGA Championship winner Xander Schauffele were two shots off the lead, with Russell Henley on four under and Shane Lowry another stroke back. World number one Scottie Scheffler had been within two of the lead until amazingly four-putting the ninth for a double bogey.
