SMOTHER actor Lochlann Ó Mearáin today reveals his distress at his character Rory Dwyer having to violently hit his son Callum in the RTÉ show.
And Lochlann believes such incidents have exploded in real life due to cabin fever tensions in lockdown homes. We tried to make it as real as possible, he explains about the assault. It was quite a heavy backhanded slap in a public place, it s difficult. It s really hard to apologise for something like that, it s really not acceptable. I know it s a coming-of-age thing for a lot of young boys, that tension builds up between a son and a father, it s a natural enough thing, of the boy turning into a man.
All planetary systems have this point, called a barycenter, where their mass is perfectly balanced.
For some systems like Pluto and its moon, Charon the barycenter is outside the planet.
The moon orbits Earth right? The answer is actually a little more complicated than that.
The moon is circling a point about 3,000 miles from our planet s center, just below its surface. Earth is wobbling around that point, too, making its own circles.
That spot is the Earth-moon system s center of mass, known as the barycenter. It s the point of an object (or system of them) at which it can be balanced perfectly, with the mass distributed evenly on all sides.

It will be the only mission to land on the surface this month, with an expected arrival date of Feb. 18. Perseverance builds on an impressive history of interplanetary exploration, with its sibling rover Curiosity coming up on nine years on Mars, delivering breathtaking photographs and some puzzling data.

LIKE THE REST of us, inter-county players are creatures of habit.
Often times a new member of a squad will arrive into the dressing room for the first time, plonk himself down in a seat and remain in that spot for the remainder of his days on the panel.
The same applies on the team bus.
Everyone approaches game day differently. Some players tend to have a chat or a laugh on the bus journey to keep their minds relaxed. Others prefer to get pumped up by listening to music or sit silently with their own thoughts.
