    John Arnold: Napoleon, William of Orange... and my own take on ‘history’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I suppose ‘keeping it in the family’ was very important long ago. This was especially so when it came to money, land, and power. Amazing, isn’t it, that decades - even centuries - after an event happening, the repercussions can still reverberate down the corridors of time. Over the weekend, echoes of 1998, yes, and 1798, and even the 1600s dominated the news in this small country of ours. The ‘will we, won’t we - yes ye can, no ye can’t’ stand-off at the Garvaghy Road in Armagh showed clearly ho

    John Arnold: 100 years after his death, Cork will remember Sam Maguire (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The town of Dunmanway wasn’t overcrowded on Tuesday, February 8, 1927. Despite ‘discouragement’ from Church and State, ‘Old’ IRA men - most of them Catholics, friends, and neighbours - turned up for a funeral in the local Protestant Church, St Mary’s. Two days earlier, Sam Maguire had died in his family home at Maulabracka just outside the town. A month short of his 49th birthday, Sam had suffered with TB for a number of years - his brother William was present when he died. The funeral service i

    John Arnold: A day at the races... but using AI to select bets lost me €60! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Ye all know that I know very little about this new AI (Artificial Intelligence) thing, but apparently it can be used in several beneficial ways like helping to scrutinise X-ray results and other medical tests. A warning of a possible Doomsday scenario in relation to AI came just last week from an unlikely source. Two years ago, Geoffrey Hinton won a Nobel Prize for Physics for his pioneering work on ‘learning machines to think’. Indeed, many regard Hinton as the real ‘founder’ of AI. But lately

    John Arnold: Mystery of life and death of a Cork emigrant is finally solved (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I’d never heard of the Western Sydney University until a few days ago when I was going back over bits and pieces I had written over the last half-century or more. Sixty-five years ago this week, my father died - I was just four years of age and in truth never really remember him. That’s sad, of course, and yet maybe it was that lack of contact with or knowledge of my own father that gave me such an inquisitive and questioning outlook on life and everything else too! They say that absence makes t

    John Arnold: Dave was buried in England... but his home was always Cork (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Walking slowly along the path, looking at all the names, all the Irish surnames, was a strange experience. I could have been at home in practically any part of Ireland. Of course, there were plenty other names too, but Meara, Burke, Cassidy, Beirne, Murphy and so, so many others - amazing. I was never in the city of Manchester until last week when I attended a funeral there. The burial took place in the Southern Cemetery in the city. Opened in 1879 and extended in 1926, it covers more than 180 a
