  Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm going to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  Tributes have poured in for Irish novelist Edna O'Brien after her agent
  announced her death aged 93.
  
  The statement said: 'Our thoughts are with her family and friends, in particular her sons Marcus and
  Carlo. The family has requested privacy at this time.'
  
  O'Brien's career saw her face controversy over her books' daring themes, the likes of Elizabeth Taylor
  and Michael Caine starring in movies based on her novels and answering the very first question on BBC's Question Time in 1979.
  
  
  Paying tribute to the author, publishing house Faber said she
  was 'one of the greatest writers of our age'.
  
  
  
  'She revolutionised Irish literature, capturing the lives
  of women and the complexities of the human condition in prose that
  was luminous and spare, and which had a profound influence on so many writers who followed her.
  
  
  
  
  
  Tributes have poured in for Irish novelist Edna O'Brien after her agent announced
  her death aged 93
  
  
  
  
  
  She found literary stardom and notoriety since her first novel, The Country Girls, was published in 1960

  the 1972 film X, Y and Zee, based on O'Brien's book
  
  
  
  
  
  Paying tribute to the author, publishing house Faber said she was
  'one of the greatest writers of our age'
  
  'A defiant and courageous spirit, Edna constantly strove
  to break new artistic ground, to write truthfully, from a place of deep feeling.
  The vitality of her prose was a mirror of her zest for life: she was the very best company, kind,
  generous, mischievous, brave.
  
  'Edna was a dear friend to us all, and we will
  miss her dreadfully. It is Faber's huge privilege to publish
  her, and her bold and brilliant body of work lives on.'
  
  Irish President Michael D Higgins described O'Brien as 'one of the outstanding writers
  of modern times'.
  
  'Edna was a fearless teller of truths, a superb writer possessed of the moral courage to confront Irish society with realities long ignored and
  suppressed,' he said.
  
  'Through that deeply insightful work, rich in humanity,
  Edna O'Brien was one of the first writers to provide a true voice to the experiences of women in Ireland in their different generations and played an important role in transforming the status of women across Irish society.
  
  
  'While the beauty of her work was immediately recognised abroad,
  it is important to remember the hostile reaction it provoked among those who wished for the lived experience of women to remain far from the
  world of Irish literature, with her books shamefully banned upon their early
  publication.'
  
  O'Brien was born in Ireland in 1930 on a farm in County Clare to her parents Lena and Michael.
  
  
  She found literary stardom and notoriety since her first novel, The Country Girls, was published in 1960.
  
  
  
  
  
  O'Brien was born in Ireland in 1930 on a farm in County Clare to her
  parents Lena and Michael
  
  
  
  
  
  O'Brien pictured in 2016 on stage at the Letters Live event in London
  
  It was a book that changed the nature of Irish fiction and scandalised Ireland
  in the 60s because of the frank portrayal of the character's sex lives
  and the female body.
  
  It was banned, burned and it mortified her own mother.
  After her mother's death, O'Brien found her copy of the book with all the offending words inked out.
  
  
  The local postmistress told her father that she deserved to
  'be kicked naked through the town' and in her village O'Brien said people would draw back behind
  a window curtain if she went up the street - as if she was a Jezebel.
  
  
  The scandal it caused made other Irish writers of the day extremely envious, as 'to be banned was a hot ticket
  to fame and recognition'.
  
  Her career as a writer began when she moved to London but she drew most of her
  material from her formative years in Ireland.
  
  After the reaction to her first novel, O'Brien said she was glad not to
  be living in Ireland. She believed that exile and separation were both very good and very essential for her to have the
  inner strength to write her following novels.

  In a flurry of creativity, O'Brien wrote The Country Girls
  in just three weeks

  Before leaving Ireland, O'Brien had worked in a chemist's
  shop in Dublin and contributed short nature pieces to Irish newspapers.
  In London she found work with a publishing company, reading novels
  and writing book reports.
  
  It was on the strength of those book reports that her boss Iain Hamilton and Blanche Knopf, of American publishing giant Alfred A.
  
  Knopf, Inc., commissioned her to write a novel, paying her £25 each.
  
  
  
  In a flurry of creativity, O'Brien wrote The Country Girls in just three
  weeks.
  
  Her husband, Ernest Gébler, was also a writer and though he had already achieved literary success in the US, he was jealous
  of his young wife's abilities.
  
  He appeared at breakfast in their London home one
  morning holding a manuscript copy of the novel, The Country
  Girls, in his hand.
  
  'You can write,' he said. 'And I will never forgive
  you.'
  
  O'Brien's career as a writer soon eclipsed his.
  
  Gébler later claimed that he was the writer of her early books in a mentoring capacity.
  It was a strain that broke the family up.
  
  
  Their marriage was unhappy and the divorce was
  messy involving a bitter custody battle over the children, which O'Brien eventually won.
  
  O'Brien had left the marriage 'in a big hurry' taking the boys with her.
  
  
  However, she agreed to Gébler's request that his sons should come to stay with him.
  
  When she dropped them off, they ran inside and he said: 'Thank you, Edna,
  you have just legally deserted them.'
  
  In the courtroom fight to get her sons back, extracts
  from her fourth novel August Is A Wicked Month were used as evidence against her to disparage her character.
  
  
  Edna O'Brien was born in Catholic Ireland in 1930 on a farm in Tuamgraney,
  County Clare, the youngest child of Michael O'Brien and Lena Cleary.
  
  
  She was a quiet child but very observant and was always inclined to write on little scraps of paper torn out of her copybook.
  
  
  
  From 1941 to 1946 she went to a school run by the
  Sisters of Mercy in Galway which she once described as: 'No education, a rich chaotic
  education.'
  
  As a young woman, O'Brien moved to Dublin and worked as a trainee chemist.
  
  It was there, aged 22, that she met Ernest Gébler in a bar on Henry Street
  through a mutual friend.

  O'Brien and John McGahern at The South Bank Show Awards in London in 2006
  
  He was an author, intellect, 16 years her senior and he had been married before.
  
  When she first went to his house, in Lake Park, County Wicklow,
  O'Brien described it as like being in a story. 'There was a first wife,
  rooms full of her clothes, oil paintings, a coffee pot.
  I had never seen a coffee pot before.'
  
  O'Brien fell for him quickly, meeting in December and eloping with
  him as the daffodils were coming out in March.
  
  'Had there been time for a courtship,' she said, 'I might have seen some of the
  qualities that later came to the fore.'
  
  They married in 1954 and had two sons, Carlo and Sasha.
  The couple moved to London and lived in suburbia
  in Wimbledon before their marriage ended in 1964.
  
  
  In the years after her divorce, as a glamorous and successful author in the mid-60s,
  O'Brien threw parties in her house every Saturday night,
  attended by the likes of Judy Garland, Paul McCartney, and Princess
  Margaret.
  
  'How I came to know all the people who came to the parties to this day baffles me,' she said in a 2012 interview.
  
  
  'I was mad for life. I thought mistakenly that parties were
  the ticket to life.'

  In 2018, she was appointed a Dame of the British Empire for her services
  to literature

  most of her material from her formative years in Ireland
  
  O'Brien had many friends and a few 'flames', including an affair with an unnamed British politician, though she never married again.
  
  She was a patient of RD Laing, the Scottish psychiatrist, in the 70s and asked to undergo an LSD
  trip under his guidance. She described the LSD trip as 'disturbing
  beyond words' saying: 'It deepened my already dark self and it deepened my writing.'
  
  Through all her years of parties as a cosmopolitan socialite,
  she was always writing.
  
  'Hope eternal' was what she called her habit of carrying sheets
  of paper and a pen on her in case inspiration struck.
  
  
  Although it was the opposition to her early books that somewhat defined Edna O'Brien's career,
  it is the longevity of her career, spanning over six decades, that gives it its permanence.
  
  
  In September 1979, she appeared on the first episode
  of the BBC topical debate programme Question Time, joining the
  panel of guests including Labour MP Michael Foot, Conservative politician Teddy Taylor and the Archbishop of Liverpool Derek Worlock.
  
  
  It was at a time when The Troubles plagued Ireland. IRA
  attacks were rife and tensions were high. The late Queen's cousin, Lord Louis Mountbatten,
  was killed in County Sligo when an IRA bomb was placed on his fishing boat, one month
  before O'Brien appeared on Question Time.
  
  O'Brien answered the first ever question on the show, asked by
  audience member and teacher Ms Charlton, 'To what extent do you
  consider the forthcoming visit of the Pope to Ireland will help towards
  peace and reconciliation? Would a visit to Ulster have been of any value?'
  
  To which O'Brien replied: 'Well, I think it high time that
  Ireland had a miracle. I believe there was one at Knock
  a hundred years ago, so there might be a repetition. 
  
  'I think the Pope's visit is very good, certainly as a gesture and as a journey and I think if he
  were to go to the north of Ireland it would be
  a tremendous strength to the people there, both Catholic and Protestant.
  I think they would be impressed by it. 
  
  'I don't think, however, that anything could happen in the two days that he
  is there but I would hope that if he went it might enjoin the British government, whose concern it chiefly is, to start and try and do something about the terrible situation in the north of Ireland. 
  
  'I have great admiration for the Pope, I am not an ardent
  Catholic but at the same time I am thrilled he is making
  that journey and I wish he will go to Ulster.'
  
  In her late 80's, she travelled to Nigeria for several weeks
  to research her 2019 novel, Girl, that was based on the horrors experienced by schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram.
  
  
  It was an arduous trip with dangers and uncertainties,
  for which she prepared for by smuggling £15,000 into the country in her sleeves and her underwear.
  
  
  The one book, however, that O'Brien swore she would never write was her memoirs.
  She felt it was too naked, or naked making. Her agent managed to convince her otherwise and Country Girl was published in 2012.
  
  
  
  It took her three years to write and she said it brought
  her a lot of pain and anger, having to relive certain times in her life.
  
  
  
  In 2018, she was appointed a Dame of the British Empire for her services to literature - which, as a republican sympathiser, she received some criticism back
  home for. One Irish Times writer claimed
  that O'Brien had been 'seduced by this empty honour'.
  
  
  Her response? Crafted by her agency said: 'The honour
  is for her services to literature and her belief is that literature transcends politics
  and borders.'
  
  Edna O'Brien was praised as one of the world's greatest living writers but her ultimate
  purpose as a writer was simple.
  
  It was what caused her so much scandal in the beginning and ostracised her
  in her own country. In a 2019 interview, she said:
  'I want to go out as someone who kept to the truth. I can't bear phoneys.
  
  I want integrity.'

  Hey everyone,
  
  I've been exploring the world of internet gambling lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s surprisingly fun. At first, I was honestly suspicious. I mean, how do you even rely on an online platform with your money, right? But after doing a ton of research (and trying out a few questionable sites so you can avoid that mess), I figured out a few things that set apart a legit casino from a total scam. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **regulation is key**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper legal status (like from the Malta Gaming Authority or the UKGC), just walk away. No bonus is worth the trouble of never seeing your funds again. Also — and I know no one wants to — read the T&Cs. That’s the only way to know what kind of hidden traps they’ve slapped onto those so-called “amazing” bonuses.
  
  Now, let me share a site I’ve been using these last few weeks. It’s been a game-changer. The interface? Super clean. Payouts? No waiting around. And the game selection? *Insane*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some weird niche games I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: http://firststar-nagasaki.com/gym/taiikukan_kyudou2/ What really won me over was the customer service. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like 10 minutes. Compare that to other sites where you’re just shouting into the void — yeah, no thanks.
  
  Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some awesome ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just go crazy over promos. It’s smarter to stick to fair terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and blow your whole paycheck — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra spending money and you’re looking for a bit of online excitement, online casinos can totally deliver. Just stay sharp, know your limits, and don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s curious or trying to find a decent place to play. If you’ve got your own recommendations or even some wild losses, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff.
  
  Good luck out there, and spin smart, win big ??
