Hi all!<\/p>\n

This is it! I promised you a new layout or look &feel and this is the FIRST\u00a0phase of the new look of the Dublin Event Guide. There have been some hiccups (as you can imagine) and it is not yet all perfect, but hopefully it is a promising start. Thanks so much to\u00a0all the great people who helped with donations for the new software. Let me know (via dublineventguide@gmail.com<\/a>) if you think it is an improvement and also let me know what you would improve next. I still have a long list of things, but I will do it step by step over the next few weeks. And I am really really excited that we will move now to a less “cobbled together” and much prettier AND much more flexible Dublin Event Guide newsletter.<\/p>\n

As with most things in life, there is a sweet and a sour side to the changes, though. The winners are all the\u00a0Dublin Event Guide e-mail subscribers<\/u> (you can subscribe on the Dublin Event Guide website if you are not on the list yet!! ;-) ). The relative loosers are the Facebook user of the Dublin Event Guide. (This is not your fault instead it is Facebook’s fault.) If you follow the link at the VERY bottom of this post (if you are reading this on Facebook) you will also see the nice new layout and the FULL Dublin Event Guide If you just read the text version on Facebook, then it will only be a PART\u00a0of the complete newsletter, only with this intro and the weekend events. The events for next week will not be posted on Facebook.<\/p>\n

The Dublin Event Guide will always be full of high-quality content\u00a0 and it is the ONLY publication in Dublin that focuses on all the free cultural events that are there for us! It is full of free events and it is free to susbcribe to\/read\/use the Dublin Event Guide. However, since nothing in life is free – unfortunately – and the bills for sending this newsletter\u00a0every week have to be paid,\u00a0I invite you to help with a voluntary donation.<\/p>\n

Any amount will help, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I would suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. That\u2019s just one Euro per month for four, sometimes five editions, where can you get so much value for so little cost. :-)<\/p>\n

To donate you can use the PayPal or the Revolut link OR you can buy me a virtual coffee (I won’t drink it but will use the money to put into the Dublin Event Guide). YOUR contribution really counts! Thank you! :-)<\/p>\n

Please donate via www.paypal.me\/DublinEventGuide<\/a>
\nor for Revolut users among you just use @joergbrb (Revolut is moving away from phone numbers and to addresses like this one.)<\/p>\n

If PayPal or Revolut don\u2019t work for you, you can buy one or two or even three virtual coffees (or Hot Chocolates!) for the Dublin Event Guide and you can do that on the \u201cBuy Me a Coffee\u201d page here www.buymeacoffee.com\/DublinEventG<\/a>\u00a0 .<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n


\n\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

And if you come to\u00a0www.DublinEventGuide.com<\/a>\u00a0and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent!<\/p>\n

Thank you!!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

CHINESE NEW YEAR FESTIVAL<\/strong>
\nThe Chinese New Year is on Friday 12 Feb this year. It is based on the lunar cycle and therefore changes every year. In 2021 we are moving from the Year of the Rat to the Year of the Ox and to celebrate this Dublin is celebrating the “Dublin Chinese New Year Festival” or as it is suddenly called this year the “Dublin Chinese Lunar New Year Festival”. (No idea why “Lunar” was added for the first time. :-O)
\nBecause everything has to be online this year, it will be very much a different experience. but nevertheless there are a range of events (and nearly all of them are free) from 09-14 February. Check them out at https:\/\/www.dublinlunarnewyear.ie\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

COLLINS BARRACKS – NATIONAL MUSEUM<\/strong>
\nWhat do you know about Collins Barracks, the home of one of four sections of the National Museum? It once was a Barracks as the name suggests, but do you know more? Watch this video clip to see an introductory tour and to learn about the history of Collins Barracks: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=o9V4ArvvMTc<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

THE GREEN NIGHT OF IDEAS – FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL <\/strong>
\nThe FIlm Festival “The Green Night of Ideas” by the French Embassy continues. From 04-18 Feb you can watch LEGACY\u00a0by Yann Arthus-Bertrand for free (https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/947572909110704<\/a>) and HOME, also by Yann Arthus-Bertrand\u00a0 is still available until 12 Feb https:\/\/ie.ambafrance.org\/The-Green-Night-of-Ideas-in-Ireland-2021<\/a> All films require booking.<\/p>\n

Last week I told you about the film “Spread Your Wings\u201d (Donne-moi des ailes), which looks really great when watching the trailer. Some people got back to me with a somewhat frustrating experience with the online screening platform volta.ie for this film. It\u00a0seems that there are\u00a0some technical issue with using Chrome as your browser, but MS Edge should work ok.
\nThe films Home and Legacy are screened from a different platform so give it a go and hopefully it will be a smoother experience.<\/p>\n

JERUSALEMA CHALLENGES EVERYWHERE<\/strong>
\nThe Jerusalema song by Master KG sticks in your head and is hard to shake off again. Already last year the dance that goes with it got some traction, but now it has the potential to go “ice bucket challenge”-crazy! After a challenge by the Swiss police, the Gardai have “retaliated” here
\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/gardainfo\/status\/1356554527806259200<\/a> (The video clip already has 1.3mio views!). Then last night the other “frontline services” didn’t want to miss out and did their dance on the Late Late Show here https:\/\/twitter.com\/RTELateLateShow\/status\/1357808269910237186<\/a> and if you search for it you find Jerusalema performances from Bray Beach (https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/brayopenforum\/permalink\/1583210018544508\/<\/a>) to a nursing home in Offaly (https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/stephen-tabb-b6625323_jerusalemachallenge-gardajerusalema-stayhomestaysafe-ugcPost-6762709030587707392–3ya\/<\/a>). Watch out or you might get roped in somewhere as well. :-D<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Covid-19 Fines – Have they lost it? <\/strong>
\nFor the speedy resolution of wars, insurgency and other conflicts, the concept of “Winning Hearts and Minds” is used in modern times. It\u00a0means that one side is trying to win the conflict not by the use of superior force, but by making emotional or intellectual appeals to convince supporters of the other side.
\nThe idea behind it is that if you convince the other side of the sense of your actions, then you need to fight less and you will ultimately be MUCH more effective, efficient AND there will be less victims.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

Our (previous) government made a weak attempt in using this strategy in early days. We were told that laws can’t be enacted to prevent people from breaking the lockdown and Simon Harris kept telling us that we should just hold together for one more push before things would get better.
\n—<\/p>\n

The current\u00a0 government is clearly taking a different route. Laws are suddenly possible and they are in place and are used a LOT. This week the RTE News reported that the crazy amount of 4500 people have been fined for breaching Covid-19 regulations. https:\/\/www.rte.ie\/news\/coronavirus\/2021\/0205\/1195336-garda-restrictions-fines\/<\/a>
\nThe total amount of serious crimes that lead to a charge or summons in 2019 was just measly 550 and out of more than 16,000 burglaries that happened, it seems that just 13 were punished appropriately, based on Central Statistics Office details. https:\/\/www.cso.ie\/en\/releasesandpublications\/ep\/p-rcd\/recordedcrimedetection2019\/crimesleadingtochargeorsummons\/<\/a>I really hope that I am misinterpreting the numbers and that someone can tell me that I made a big mistake, but if not, then this means that breaking the (random) 5km movement restriction is pursued with significantly more vigor than burglaries. :-O
\nI think we can clearly say that the government has lost the support from the people. Maybe a serious\u00a0“Winning Hears and Minds” approach would have us in a different place?<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
