Irish Examiner is reporting how former Kerry footballer Paul Galvin is now making more money from his men’s fashion website than he was as a teacher in St Brendan’s College, Killarney.
“There were just opportunities happening and I had a small presence online and it kept growing and growing,” explained Galvin. “I didn’t know if I could, to be honest. I just took a punt, really. I make a decent living. It’s not like I’m making, you know… but it’s better than what I earned teaching.

A microscopic time-lapse of snowflakes forming by Vyacheslav Ivanov.
i09’s Robert Gonzalez explains:
The ice crystal(s) in snowflakes owe their six-fold rotational symmetry to the hydrogen bonds in water molecules. As water freezes, water molecules bound to other water molecules crystallize into a hexagonal structure, where each point on the hexagon is an oxygen atom and each side of the hexagon is a hydrogen bonded to an oxygen. As freezing continues, more water molecules are added to this microscopic six-sided structure, causing it to grow in size into the six-sided macroscopic structure that we recognize as snowflakes.
