Fighting Words: Happiness
As I watch the sky, the world falls quiet and for a few moments I feel happy.
Okay maybe not silent, the birds are chirping their lullabies but that makes me calm and happy as well.
As I look to my left, I see my best friend. She glistens in the daylight, swaying her head to the song of the outdoors. She brings me happiness.
The grass is chilly against my skin. It's a bit wet, sure, but who doesn't like getting a bit watery? All this brings me great happiness.
I've got my sunglasses on, whistling a basic tune. The sun blinding, my friend's sighing and me, happy.
As I lay back, I know that happiness is all around me. People, places and most importantly, nature. Life. Life, brings me happiness.
Tip. Tap. Tip. Tap. Tip. Tap. Tip. Tap. The rain poured like my tears. I was bawling my eyes out. Why was I not happy?
"It's raining cats and dogs." If only it was. If only I could just go outside as a cat or a dog fell right into my cold arms, I'd at least feel the slightest bit happy.
I didn't know why I wasn't happy; I would have been happy a few months before, a few days ago even. What changed then? Where was my happiness?
As I watch the sky turn from cloudy and gloomy to hot and sunny, I feel my tears drying, slowly disappearing. Am I happy?
I sniffle, breathing in the hot sun. Maybe I was. Maybe I was feeling better. Although I was crying a minute ago, I feel safe. I feel a sense of happiness blooming in me.
I run to my best friend, yes her. She comforts me in ways I didn't know I could be comforted. I hug her tightly, feeling a warm fuzzy feeling inside me.
Everything makes me calm. Everything makes me joyous. Everything makes me happy.

The Encampments review: Taut, disciplined documentary about Palestine protests at Columbia University
The Encampments Director : Kei Pritsker, Michael T Workman Cert : 12A Starring : Sueda Polat, Mahmoud Khalil, Grant Miner, Naye idriss, Bisan Owda, Ali Abunimah, Layan Fuleihan, Jamal Joseph Running Time : 1 hr 20 mins This fine documentary on the Palestine solidarity encampments at Columbia University, in Manhattan, makes much of comparisons with student protests against the Vietnam War in the late 1960s. We are reminded that the mainstream United States was not then much impressed with the students' actions. (A significant majority of those polled blamed the students themselves for the National Guard's killing of protesters at Kent State.) Over time, however, sympathy eventually drifted the way of the anti-war movement. 'Why do you think these encampments caused such an intense response from some of the most powerful people in the world?' the current film begins. We cut to Mike Johnson, speaker of the US House of Representatives, decrying 'radical, extreme ideologies'. Senator Tom Cotton then argues that 'these little Gazas are disgusting cesspools of anti-Semitic hate'. It all feels startlingly familiar – right down to the use of 'freaks', a very 1960s word, to describe the protesters. Sueda Polat, a graduate student at the heart of the movement, calmly notes widespread reluctance in the US media to engage with the continuing slaughter in Palestine. Yelling at students is a heck of a lot easier. Nobody would mistake The Encampments for an unaligned documentary. Kei Pritsker and Michael T Workman, reporting from the heart of the protest, structure their film around three key participants. Mahmoud Khalil , who acted as liaison between students and the university, later found himself arrested by the US immigration agency. Grant Miner, involved in the occupation of the college's Hamilton Hall, was subsequently expelled from Columbia. Along with Polat, those two, addressing the camera directly, provide a sober and reasoned defence for a campaign that, among other things, asked the Ivy League institution to divest from companies with ties to the Israeli government. READ MORE Counterarguments are sparse, mostly represented by spittle-flecked politicians and fulminating right-wing media. Fair enough. There is an honourable tradition of film-makers anchoring themselves to one core perspective – and, as the opening of the film clarifies, contradictory takes are available all day and every day. The Encampments may win over few hostile to the college occupations, but it offers an important record of how the campaign developed. Pritsker and Workman lay out the story in taut, disciplined fashion. There is no flash to the documentary – no animation, no re-enactments, no show-off montages. We learn about the demands for divestment. We hear how, after requests are ignored, students set up camps on the lawns. What seems to have set the Columbia occupation apart was the authorities' decision to allow the police in to arrest students. The directors get their camera in among the rough and tumble. The key difference between documentaries on the 1960s protests and those today is, of course, to do with technology. The students are wired in to one another and to the wider worlds with social media. The directors have equipment that can go anywhere (and that never runs out of film). [ Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat: A fleet-footed chronicle that never lets up Opens in new window ] Pritsker and Workman are able to inveigle an extraordinary amount of information into an economic running time. We get close into the students' faces. We learn how they fed themselves. We get a sense of the movement spreading out to the rest of the United States and the rest of the world. It's a raw, bald film, but one that never loses its focus. What the world ultimately comes to think of the protests and of this film depends on events in the Middle East. But the cases of Miner and Khalil confirm that those behind the barricades had – and still have – much at stake. This is no game. 'We are just getting started,' one protester says towards the close. 'We have a cause we believe in and we are going to fight until the end.' In cinemas from Friday, June 6th

Meath County Council awarded over €100,000 for biodiversity projects
The announcement was made by Minister for Housing, Heritage and Local Government James Browne, TD, and Minister of State for Nature, Heritage and Biodiversity Christopher O'Sullivan, TD. The funding comes under the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Local Biodiversity Action Fund (LBAF), a scheme established in 2018 to help local authorities implement biodiversity actions at local and regional levels. Since its creation, almost €11m has been distributed through the fund. Minister James Browne said: 'Local authorities are playing an essential role in protecting our biodiversity and the Local Biodiversity Action Plan recognises that role. Through these projects, each local authority will make a unique impact on their local biodiversity, but is also part of a bigger picture across the country. He added: 'I welcome the focus on partnership, research and best practice. I wish all of those involved the very best with the work and look forward to hearing more as they progress.' Minister Christopher O'Sullivan highlighted the range of work being undertaken: 'I'm really impressed with the diversity of projects funded this year. The Local Biodiversity Action Fund will enable every local authority around the country to enhance their actions on biodiversity, including research and recording of our unique species, from the Irish Mayfly, Woodland Bats to barn owls, and management of precious habitats such as meadows and wetlands.' Meanwhile Ben Malone, Biodiversity Officer with Meath County Council, also welcomed the support. He said: 'We're delighted with the support received this year through the Local Biodiversity Action Fund. Our projects in Meath build on the success of previous years, supporting people to create habitats for wildlife, managing our own lands better for biodiversity, addressing urgent conservation needs and adding to our state of knowledge on biodiversity in the county.' Among the projects funded in Meath this year are: County Meath Wetland Survey – Phase 1 County Meath Tree, Woodland and Hedgerow Survey – Phase 1 Invasive Alien Species Project – Quagga Mussel in Lough Sheelin Invasive Alien Species Project – Common Cordgrass in the Nanny Estuary Recording Irish Mayfly – establishing conservation status The Hare's Corner – assisting landowners to create new habitats for biodiversity Commons of Lloyd Biodiversity and Conservation Agriculture Project Continuation of Barn Owl Conservation Project Development of the Woodland Bat Monitoring Scheme Community biodiversity initiatives and outreach support This funding is said to support the objectives of Ireland's 4th National Biodiversity Action Plan, Actions For Nature, launched in January 2024. For the first time, the plan has been published on a statutory basis under the Wildlife Amendment Act 2023, requiring public bodies to integrate biodiversity into their policies and report on progress. By 2050, the plan envisions that 'Biodiversity in Ireland is valued, conserved, restored and sustainably used, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet and delivering benefits essential for all people.' Funded by the Local Democracy Reporting Scheme
