Alison Carr-Chellman from University of Dayton has developed the theory of negentropy, the opposite of entropy. Negentropy can be defined as distance to normality, and in a piece published by phy.org, Alison describes five steps for negentropic success in our daily lives, She explains that by keeping the concept of negentropy in mind in our work and everyday lives, we can more easily decide to reduce the loss of energy and structure by proactively doing the chores or work items that we might otherwise let build up, resulting in chaos! :-)

Axis Ballymun released a fantastic love-letter to the Irish Langauge this week, written and performed by Roxanna Nic Liam. Siúcra elegantly addresses the tension many Irish people experience when it comes to Gaeilge. The excellent video mixes Irish & English throughout and covers the beauty of Gaeilge, the excuses and tropes used by those hesitant in using the language, and the permission to use and learn Irish without taking on the burden of upholding its vast traditions.
Is í ár dteanga féin í, it is our language, even if we do get stuck in a gramadach hole go minic.
