DRESS CODES are becoming more conservative on many AIRLINES. Don't get left behind. Dress accordingly. See the general rules below. Check with your carrier for their guidelines.

What are your thoughts on this?

Several airlines, including American, United, Delta, Spirit, and Southwest, are denying boarding for travelers dressed in Inappropriate Travel Attire.
Cultural awareness has become more essential than ever. Business travelers needed to dress with destination customs in mind.
Leisure travelers: NO poolside attire.
Some ask that offensive tattoos be covered

Warrior Women - Grace O'Malley 1

03/14/2025

Today on Pi Day, we celebrate the field of mathematics and, in honor of International Women’s Month, I would like to pay tribute to the remarkable female mathematicians who have made significant contributions throughout history. My favorite is Hypatia (born c. 355 CE—died March 415), the head of Alexandria’s Neoplatonist school of philosophy, recognized as the leading mathematician and astronomer. However, her political connections and the teaching of non-Christian philosophical traditions created a desire among some to silence her. Tragically, she was dragged through the streets of ancient Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt by a mob of Christian zealots, taken into a church, stripped naked, and torn to pieces with shards of roof tiles.

Today, a sculpture of Hypatia’s n**e form stands at the entrance of the Alexandria Bibliotheca; this modern library is an international collaboration to have once again an extensive collection of knowledge housed where the ancient library may have stood. The ancient library was destroyed during Cleopatra VII’s time by fire in 48 BC when a blaze set by Julius Caesar, aimed at the enemy fleets, spread. However, some scrolls were also kept in a daughter library, but were ultimately destroyed in 391 AD under a decree issued by Bishop Theophilus of Alexandria.

Exiting news from Author Anne Chambers! Come meet Anne in June.

★GRACE O'MALLEY FILM PROJECT ★

★Oscar®-Nominated Kirsten Sheridan to Bring Ireland’s Famous Pirate Queen Grace O’Malley to the Big Screen★

Acclaimed Irish filmmaker Kirsten Sheridan has optioned Grace O'Malley – The Biography of Ireland's Pirate Queen by renowned biographer Anne Chambers. The feature film, supported by Screen Ireland, will be produced by Wild Atlantic Pictures in collaboration with Reclaim Entertainment Ventures (Los Angeles), with a targeted production start in 2026.

Academy Award® and Golden Globe nominated writer and producer Sheridan, whose recent work includes Lockerbie (Sky/Peacock) and the Writer’s Guild of America and IFTA-nominated Say Nothing (Hulu/Disney+), has been developing the feature/TV project with Chambers for some time.

The film will chronicle the extraordinary true story of Grace O’Malley culminating in her famous meeting with Queen Elizabeth I, the most powerful ruler in British history. When her youngest son is taken prisoner, Grace sails up the Thames to confront Queen Elizabeth directly. While perceived enemies, as women, while they question each other's identity, pierce each other's wounds, they win each other's respect and come together as equals to define, not just their nationality, but their most intimate selves.

“This is a deeply personal passion project for both Anne and myself,” said Sheridan. “Every Irish woman now knows Grace O’Malley’s story now thanks to Anne’s innovative biography. It is one of power, resilience, and rebellion. Grace O’Malley defied gender norms, social and political female bias, controlled her own destiny and won the respect of the most powerful woman in history.

Unlike traditional period dramas, Sheridan’s vision for the film is raw and contemporary, exploring themes of sexuality, identity, and gender with a fresh and provocative lens. The project will not only depict Grace’s legendary exploits but will also dive into her complex personal journey as a leader, mother and survivor.
