What you may need to know:
1. Heaven is for real. And so, believe it or not, is this movie.
2. Faith-themed cinema is so hot right now. Jesus hot, not Satan hot. Even Nick Cage wants a bit of the Holy action.
3. Heaven Is… is based on the New York Times Bestseller.
4. Greg Kinnear? Dude! Come on! You were in Little Miss Sunshine (2006)!
5. Yes, it’s based on a moving true story. So was Thor: The Dark World (2013). Fact.
Release Date: 2014

They come here, etc.,etc.
But what do they think of us?
From Banter:
The New Dubliners will look at the city through the eyes of those who’ve moved here to make the city their home by talking a group of new Dubliners about their experience of living in the city: the good and the bad, the stuff that keeps them here and the things which make them pine for home, the ins and outs of making a home here.
Featuring Wissame Cherfi (film-maker), Monika Sapielak (Centre for Creative Practice), Hassan Lemtouni (cafe owner) and Minhee Won (financial data research specialist).
THIS Wednesday November 27 at the Twisted Pepper, Middle Abbey St., Dublin 1 from 8pm.
The new Dubliners Debate (Banter)
Admission is FREE (but you may sign up here).

I pity you if you’re a ghost
You’ve got a few months at the most
To count pennies and save
Up for a new grave
Because next year your home will be toast

This morning, The Irish Times reports:
“The States’s largest children’s hospital, Our Lady’s in Crumlin, has been paying its chief executive [Lorcan Birthistle] a top-up allowance of €30,000 per year funded from the profits of shops on the campus.”
“The allowance is paid on top of a regular salary of about €110,000.”

Previously: How Much?
NASA Goddard’s CGI vision of how the now Red Planet might have looked if – as many scientists believe – it once had water and thus, the potential for life.
Like Mars. With water on it.
The artist’s concept is based on evidence that Mars was once very different. Rapidly moving clouds suggest the passage of time, and the shift from a warm and wet to a cold and dry climate is shown as the animation progresses. The lakes dry up, while the atmosphere gradually transitions from Earthlike blue skies to the dusty pink and tan hues seen on Mars today.
