FUTURE: Improving the quality of humanity’s future requires serious, significant action on the part of governments, businesses and everyday individuals. To inspire such action, we need to align economic incentives and deploy a healthy dose of political pressure. But let’s not neglect the importance of nudging the human mind. Coupled with sound evidence and well-reasoned logic, an enhanced level of feeling for the people of coming generations can give us the motivation we need to steer our collective future in the right direction.

Saint Hugh of Grenoble’s Story
Today’s saint could be a patron for those of us who feel so overwhelmed by all the problems in the world that we don’t know where to begin.
Hugh, who served as a bishop in France for 52 years, had his work cut out for him from the start. Corruption seemed to loom in every direction: the buying and selling of Church offices, violations of clerical celibacy, lay control of Church property, religious indifference and/or ignorance. After serving as bishop for two years, he’d had his fill. He tried disappearing to a monastery, but the pope called him back to continue the work of reform.

Vatican, 04 October, 2022 / 8:05 pm (ACI Africa).
Pope Francis is featured in a documentary film on climate change and the environment that premiered at the Vatican on Tuesday.
“The Letter,” which can be streamed for free on YouTube Originals starting Oct. 4, follows a climate activist, an indigenous leader, a climate refugee, and married marine biologists as they travel from their corners of the world to the Vatican to speak to Pope Francis.
The film includes video from the meeting with Pope Francis as well as never-before-seen footage from Francis’ papal inauguration on March 19, 2013.

India has overtaken or is about to overtake China as the world’s most populous nation, with a population of 1,400 million, with a fast-growing economy. Even if Indians are not, right now, big spenders on apps, preferring to make use of the free goodies available in the ecosystem, there is no gainsaying the potential market power of India’s 1.4 billion people, 65% of them below 35 and, presumably, potential users of phone apps. Being forced to be absent from such a market, ceding the space for others to stake out their market shares, while you look on from the outside, can be hard for a Chinese company with global ambitions.

Bing was the son of Peter Bing, a doctor and philanthropist who specialised in public health, and the grandson of Leo Bing, a New York real estate developer who left him hundreds of millions of dollars that he inherited when he turned 18.
In the 1980s, Steve Bing dropped out of his father's alma mater, Stanford University, where the elder Bing had donated $50 million, for a career in Hollywood. He got early credits as a co-writer for the 1984 Chuck Norris Vietnam vet movie Missing In Action and its two sequels. He wrote an episode of the sitcom Married… With Children and in 1994 wrote and directed his own small film starring Judd Nelson, Every Breath.
Bing donated millions to the Democratic Party and its candidates, including Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi, and to the campaigns for liberal-leaning ballot initiatives in California.

The more you practice, the luckier you get!!
Domhnall de Barra
One of television’s great entertainer’s, Bruce Forsythe, died last weekend at the ripe old age of 89. He would be better known to those on the east coast who could get BBC back in the middle of the last century for his role as MC of “Sunday Night at the London Palladium” but he was known by all for one of his last big shows “Strictly Come Dancing”. In between he starred in many high profile shows and was regarded by his peers as one of the best in the business.
Unlike today when people can have instant success, he had to learn his trade and make his way up from the bottom. I suppose it was inevitable that he would go into showbiz since his Dad was a musician and his Mum was a singer. Like all the great artists of the day he learned the tools of the trade in small halls and pubs for very little money. He was a good singer and a fantastic dancer but he also had the gift of the gab and a personality that lit up the stage whenever he was on it. For years he scraped by going from venue to venue, sometimes at the bottom of the bill and sometimes higher up until he reached the age of thirty and decided he was going to give it all up and settle down running a small shop. As luck should have it he had to finish his contract and he was spotted by a BBC producer who watched what he thought was one of his final shows. He was looking for a compeer for their new show “Sunday Night at the London Palladium” and he thought Bruce was the man for the job. How right he was and the rest, as they say, is history.
I don’t normally go overboard about British stage personalities but Bruce had something special. He had the ability to make the audience like him even when he was poking fun at them as he usually did. It was all taken for what it was; good clean fun. There was no vulgarity or sleaziness, unlike today when every second word is a swearword and nothing is left to the imagination. He will be fondly remembered by all who had the good fortune to have seen him in action and we can safely say we will not his likes again, God rest him.
There is a lesson to be learned from his life and times; nothing comes easy. Like I said before, all the great actors, comedians, singers etc had to earn their stripes the hard way. There was very little money and a lot of travel involved and sometimes the show would not go down so well but they believed in what they were doing and those that deserved it eventually got the break into the big time. Unfortunately many more did not and ended their days broke and disillusioned. Today people can become celebrities overnight just by having the right looks and the right contacts. They do not have to go through the gruelling hours of practice and rehearsal to achieve their ambitions and are paid away too much money for doing so. Look at the salaries of those who work in RTE.
Is there any great skill in being a chat show host except being able to read what the team of researchers have come up with and having the gift of the gab?. Are they more skilful or hardworking than the nurses and doctors who slave in our hospitals yet we are prepared to give them “celebrity” status and overpay them. I know the powers that be in Montrose will tell us that they won’t be able to keep their big “stars” because the going rate is dictated by what other stations pay but it is not right. By all means pay them a decent salary if what they do is appreciated by the public but do not reward some who, at best, are mediocre.
There was a time when actors, in particular, had to ply their trade on the stages throughout the country before they would be considered for film or TV. Not anymore, as can be witnessed by some of the acting in soaps like “Fair City” which would not do in any respectable theatre. There was a show one time called “Glenroe” which was very popular and starred the great Joe Lynch as “Denny”. It was set in a village in Wicklow but the only actor who made an attempt at the Wicklow accent was Joe himself. We had Dublin accents, Galway accents and many “made-up” ones but whoever the producer was did not demand that the actors learn the Wicklow accent.
Some recent productions have been very good and I don’t want to be seen as knocking RTE for the sake of it. Acting is a rare skill and if one takes it up as a profession one must be prepared to accept rejection and criticism, some of it unfounded, as part of life. Roles may not be that easy to come by so there is no great security but those who have the talent and really work at it will be rewarded.
For any budding show person I would recommend learning about the life of Bruce Forsythe. He was an example to all and a shining light in what may have been simpler times. We could do with those simpler times again.
