At the Nordhausen concentration camp, an American soldier named Lee Davis found a prisoner so thin that he could not lift his head. The man blinked, barely alive. Davis knelt down, broke off a piece of his chocolate ration, and gently stuffed it into his mouth.
The man burst into tears, unable to chew, but holding the chocolate as if it were gold. "He hadn't spoken in weeks," another soldier said, "but he whispered 'thank you,' in English." Private Davis remained by his side all night. The man survived. For years, he wrote to Davis, calling him "the man who brought flavor back to the world."
It's always good to be good.

Today I asked the Taoiseach about the ongoing establishment of Ireland's National Security Authority.
This Authority is required in order to process Security clearances for personnel and facilities.
This is particularly important in the research & industry space where access to EU Research Funding can be contingent on obtaining the relevant Security clearance from a national body.

Peacekeepers maintain a visible presence by patrolling, monitoring developments, and clearing routes throughout UNIFIL’s area of operations. They identify & safely neutralize explosive hazards, helping make routes safer for peacekeepers to carry out their tasks & reducing risks.

“Until the children of Gaza, the men and women of Palestine, can play sport freely at home, abroad, on the international stage, we should never engage with Israeli team or any other sports team. Until we get justice and freedom for Palestine.
