MERMAIDS A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1990 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule review: While a comedy on the surface MERMAIDS has a serious underside.  Rating: low +2 (-4 to +4).
Rachel Flax (played by Cher) has not handle responsibility well. On the surface she seems a likable kook with some odd ways of getting through life with minimal commitment. When life gets too hectic for her, she packs up and moves on, together with her two daughters. What she refuses to face is that she is hurting everyone around her and making both daughters incredibly neurotic. At first the viewer chuckles at the odd quirks of the family, but with time the chuckling becomes more uneasy and we get a feel for the painful contortions the Flax family is being put through by their mother's willful avoidance of any commitment. The movie is seen from 15- year-old daughter Charlotte's point of view as she desperately tries to understand her coming-of-age with no guidance whatsoever from her mother. (Charlotte is played by the ubiquitous Winona Ryder, who is currently in EDWARD SCISSORHANDS and WELCOME HOME, ROXY CARMICHAEL and is rumored to have had a nervous breakdown that prevented her from also being cast as Michael Corleone's daughter in THE GODFATHER III. Predictably she gets everything confused.
Mrs. Flax is having her current affair with a Lou Landsky who owns the local shoe store "Foot Friendly." There are a couple of problems here, actually. "Foot Friendly" at least sounds like a take-off on the phrase "user-friendly," but MERMAIDS is set in 1963, before terminology like "X- friendly" was familiar or perhaps even invented. The second is that the script apparently calls for Lou to be Jewish and from the Midwest and the role is something of a stretch for actor Bob Hoskins. His character Lou realizes that behind all the weirdness there is a lot of pain in the Flax family. He wants to help but must tread a narrow line of helping the children and not scaring Rachel into "moving on."
Richard Benjamin directed, though a recent PBS discussion said that Cher was able to maintain much of the artistic control. The script's worst faults are its lulling the audience into believing the material would be light-weight, and a gratuitous piece of suspense toward the end that cheapens the effect of the film and makes it seem more manipulative where earlier it had been more sensitive. Still MERMAIDS has more to it than first meets the eye. I rate it a low +2 on the -4 to +4 scale.

Panorama, vista, and prospect deliver to viewers the freedom of choice
that derives from an overview, a capacity to compare and sort through
detail. And that micro-information, like smaller texture in landscape
perception, provides a credible refuge where the pace of visualization
is condensed, slowed, and personalized.
These visual experiences are universal, rooted in human information-processing capacities and
in the abundance and intricacy of everyday perceptions. Thus the power of
micro/macro designs holds for every type of data display as well as for
topographic views and landscape panoramas. Such designs can report
immense detail, organizing complexity through multiple and (often)
hierarchical layers of contextual reading.

Transparence Santé is a public database containing informations declared by companies related to their relationships with healthcare actors in France.
Parasol is used here to view these relationship between companies and healthcare actors. The visible nodes have been limited on the postal code 31000 (Toulouse).
Hansa was an online darknet market, it's been closed after a multinational law enforcement operation "Operation Bayonet".
Parasol was used during a presentation at THSF #8" to show the relationships between the vendors and clients of this marketplace.
More informations are available about this research.
The works of Mark Lombardi are famous for their elegant narration of various scandals in a globalized world. A profound body of research into the images has already been performed both concerning the stories and the aesthetics of his works.
Lombardi Networks is a project by Robert Tolksdorf that aims to open new means to electronically analyse Lombardis network.
Parasol is used to visualize digitized network files provided by the Lombardi Networks project.
Usage
Basics
This is the minimum html code you'll need to launch Parasol:
In this case, the settings will be loaded from the settings.json file located inside the same folder as your index.html file.
You can also specify the url of the location of the settings.json file:
You can also specify the settings directly in a data-settings attribute inside the html tag:
Settings.json
Your tool exploration settings need to be setup in the file settings.json. Please consult Basic Usage to know where this file is located.
Minimum configuration
Here is an example of a minimum configuration, just loading a json graph file:
{
"networks": [
{
"url": "data/les-miserables.json",
"name": "Les Misérables",
"options": {
"layout": "forcelink",
"loader": {
"name": "json"
}
}
}
]
}
You might want to load more than one network in your Parasol settings, there're various way to achieve this.
Visible networks at launch
Your settings networks array contains all the networks visible in the Network List UI component.
You can add more network there if you want to have these other networks available by a simple click.
Example:
{
"networks": [
{
"url": "data/les-miserables.json",
"name": "Les Misérables",
"options": {
"layout": "forcelink",
"loader": {
"name": "json"
}
}
},
{
"url": "data/le-petit-prince.json",
"name": "Le Petit Prince",
"options": {
"layout": "forcelink",
"loader": {
"name": "json"
}
}
}
]
}
'Add Network' modal
You can configure your Parasol with and url containing more networks available that can be loaded in your app.
When you'll click on the 'Add Network' UI button, a modal will open and let you choose which network you want to import inside your Parasol interface.
Example:
{
"networks_loader": {"path": "data/more_networks.json"},
"networks": [
{
"url": "data/les-miserables.json",
"name": "Les Misérables",
"options": {
"layout": "forcelink",
"loader": {
"name": "json"
}
}
}
]
}
Here is the possible content of data/more_network.json file:
[
{
"url": "data/le-petit-prince.json",
"name": "Le Petit Prince",
"options": {
"layout": "forcelink",
"loader": {
"name": "json"
}
}
},
{
"url": "data/dune.json",
"name": "Dune",
"options": {
"layout": "forcelink",
"loader": {
"name": "json"
}
}
}
]
Various loaders are available to read your graph network data source.
The simplest loader you'll probably want to use is the json loader. It use the simple json format currently used in sigma.js project.
If you have a data source you'd like to convert to a Parasol readable format, you can contact me or open a Github issue with the requirements you have.
Available loaders:
- Json: simple json format from sigma.js
- LdaJson: extended json format that includes a topic array based on latent Dirichlet allocation.
- JsonFeed: specialized json format that follows the specification from JSON Feed project.
- Lombardi: specialized json format that reads networks available on Mark Lombardi Networks project.
- TSNE: proof of concept to load a csv file, send it to a Deep Detect server, and displayed the result of a TSNE transformation.
Loader options
Some options might be available in some loaders, for example to reduce the number of loaded edges on some huge networks:
...
"loader": {
"name": "ldajson",
"options": {
"minEdgeWeight": 0.4,
"limitEdgeCount": 500
}
}
...
Until more documentation is available, you can check in the Loaders source code if the options object is used in the Loader you want to use.
You can also open a new Github issue to request a new option on for your application.
Left and right drawers are configurable, you can choose which one to display, and which components to load inside each of them.
Here you can see how to modify your default settings.json file with a custom configuration that will just display an AppBar UI Component inside the left drawer:
{
"networks_loader": {"path": "data/more_networks.json"},
"networks": [
{
"url": "data/les-miserables.json",
"name": "Les Misérables",
"options": {
"layout": "forcelink",
"loader": {
"name": "json"
}
}
}
],
"drawers": [
{
"id": "left",
"open": true,
"components": [
{"name": "AppBar"}
]
}
]
}
By default, it uses the following configuration available in AppState.jsx:
...
drawers: [
{
id: 'left',
open: true,
openSecondary: false,
components: [
{name: 'AppBar'},
{name: 'NetworkInput'},
{name: 'NetworkList'},
{name: 'Divider'},
{name: 'ForceLinkSettings'},
{name: 'Divider'},
{name: 'Legend'},
{name: 'TopicSelector'},
]
},
{
id: 'right',
open: true,
openSecondary: true,
components: [
{name: 'SearchInput'},
{name: 'NodeSize'},
{name: 'EdgeWeight'},
{name: 'HideOrphan'},
{name: 'Divider'},
{name: 'ShowSelected'},
{name: 'SelectedNode'},
{name: 'Divider'},
{name: 'NeighborNodes'}
]
}
],
...
Loadable components are visible in Components/Drawer.jsx source file.
You'll find a list of Networks and Filters components you can use in your drawers.

The algorithm/size.h
header defines an algorithm that counts the elements in a generic data structure.
#include <chaos/preprocessor/algorithm/size.h>
The CHAOS_PP_SIZE
macro counts the elements in its argument.
CHAOS_PP_SIZE
(g)
The generic data structure whose elements are to be counted.
This macro expands to the number of elements in g.
If g contains more than CHAOS_PP_LIMIT_MAG
elements, the result is saturated to CHAOS_PP_LIMIT_MAG
.
The efficiency of the algorithm's use of the recursion backend can be described in terms of the number of recursion steps required to complete the algorithm. The asymptotic upper and lower bounds are Θ(n+1), where n is the number of elements in g.
This macro uses bypass semantics.
If bypass semantics are already in effect, CHAOS_PP_SIZE_BYPASS
must be used instead.
CHAOS_PP_ARRAY_SIZE
CHAOS_PP_SEQ_SIZE
CHAOS_PP_SEQ_SIZE_ALT

CHAOS_PP_SIZE_ID
()
This macro exists only for uniformity with other macros that require indirect invocation.
The CHAOS_PP_SIZE_

The current bypass recursion state.
The generic data structure whose elements are to be counted.
If bypass semantics are already in effect, this macro must be used instead of CHAOS_PP_SIZE

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS A film review by Jeremiah Kipp Copyright 2000 filmcritic.com filmcritic.com
You know you're in big trouble when halfway through a movie you ask yourself, "What would be better? Sitting through the rest of this garbage or receiving a scratch to the retina?" Ultimately, the question is moot, since both are examples of ocular mayhem.
The impulse as you sit through Dungeons & Dragons is to close your eyes, thereby shielding yourself from those atrocious computer-generated zooming up and down gaudily-colored castles and cloud-capped palaces. Unfortunately, the sound design is so brutal with those sharp rings as swords clash, glitter dust swirls, and magic spells go WHOOSH that sleep is not a viable option.
Consider just this small aspect of the film: Why is it that the main characters are dressed like Tolkein's rangers but sound like The Real World, some gaudy hybrid of Conan the Barbarian and Star Wars: Episode I?
Indeed, it's nearly impossible to look at the young Empress Savina (Thora Birch, American Beauty) without thinking about Natalie Portman's headdress. Say what you will about the George Lucas film, Portman did manage to appear regal. Birch, on the other hand, comes off as a bubble-headed Valley Girl whose glib talk of equality for everyone would fit comfortably on the stage of a high school beauty contest.
In our opening tracking shot across the sea, while dragons fly underfoot, we hear a ponderous voice-over throwing out strange names and places. We haven't been introduced to anyone yet, and I defy the viewer to make sense of it. What we do get is this: The Mages are attempting to overthrow the Empire of Izmer, while the commoners struggle for equal rights. Profion (former Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons) seeks the scepter to control the power of the Golden Dragons, but we also learn of an equally powerful rod which unites the Red Dragons. Are you with me so far? There's a quiz afterwards.
 Actually, the Wayans character is called Snails, who will sacrifice anything, even his life if need be, to save Massah. Spike Lee would have a field day with Wayans' bug-eyed performance. Of course, Wayans is bringing it on himself -- he's clearly set up as the white man's burden and is handled as such.
Ridley and Snails sneak into the inner sanctum of a wizard who has some sort of secret scroll (another prop) that the bad guys are after. As the good guys set off on their adventure, they team up with a young magician (Zoe McLellan) who never actually uses her magic -- she's too busy waiting for the boys to rescue her. Since Jeremy Irons only wants to pick up his paycheck for this film, he sends the sinister Damodar (Bruce Payne) in hot pursuit.
Together, the thieves, the young magician, and a few other trusty sidekicks run through a series of hoops, with the crazy kids wandering through forests and towns, thieves' mazes, and enemy castles. To keep things entertaining, they never let up on their sarcastic repartee, slapping each other high-fives. Meanwhile, Snails ponders the immortal question, "Massah, why do you always get to save the girl while I go after the dwarf?" Riddle me that, Batman!
The sorry excuse for a plot builds up to an elaborate, if incomprehensible, dragon war. Buildings are smashed, swords are drawn, and the sky runs red with blood (actually, computer generated clouds that might have been swell in Tomb Raider but won't be fooling anyone here). Jeremy Irons gets to stand at the top of a tower cackling, contorting his face, and, ultimately, destroying his career with such aplomb that I wonder when he'll work in this town again.
Is there anything good which can be said about Dungeons & Dragons? Fans of the role-playing game will be distressed as they see their beloved world contorted into a travesty. Those who loved the Saturday morning cartoon will wonder why the filmmakers didn't simply use that cute, kid-friendly story as source material.
Everyone else out there is on their own. Just pretend this review is a large iron gate where, written large, are the words Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Enter Here.
POSTSCRIPT: There is one good thing I can say about the film, which perhaps will be of little interest to anyone who never saw the wonderful British sci-fi show, Doctor Who. My boyhood hero, Tom Baker, who played the good doctor throughout the '70s, makes a cameo appearance in D&D as the Lord of the Elves. It made me feel good to know that he is still getting work.

Paragraph 1
Out of another, I get a lovely view of the bay and a little private wharf belonging to the estate. There is a beautiful shaded lane that runs down there from the house. I always fancy I see people walking in these numerous paths and arbors, but John has cautioned me not to give way to fancy in the least. He says that with my imaginative power and habit of story-making a nervous weakness like mine is sure to lead to all manner of excited fancies and that I ought to use my will and good sense to check the tendency. So I try.
Paragraph 2
Dave wasn't exactly sure how he had ended up in this predicament. He ran through all the events that had lead to this current situation and it still didn't make sense. He wanted to spend some time to try and make sense of it all, but he had higher priorities at the moment. The first was how to get out of his current situation of being naked in a tree with snow falling all around and no way for him to get down.
Paragraph 3
The red ball sat proudly at the top of the toybox. It had been the last to be played with and anticipated it would be the next as well. The other toys grumbled beneath. At one time each had held the spot of the red ball, but over time they had sunk deeper and deeper into the toy box.

CHAPTER 7
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
1.1 I am conscious of both the length and complexity of this Part of the Report. For ease of reference, I have decided to place all my recommendations in summary form at the conclusion of this Part rather than to follow the approach I have pursued elsewhere. I recommend to the Ministry of Justice that:
The exemption in section 32 of the Data Protection Act 1998 should be amended so as to make it available only where:1
- the processing of data is necessary for publication, rather than simply being in fact undertaken with a view to publication;
- the data controller reasonably believes that the relevant publication would be or is in the public interest, with no special weighting of the balance between the public interest in freedom of expression and in privacy; and
- objectively, that the likely interference with privacy resulting from the processing of the data is outweighed by the public interest in publication.
The exemption in section 32 of the Data Protection Act 1998 should be narrowed in scope, so that it no longer allows, by itself, for exemption from:2
- the requirement of the first data protection principle to process personal data fairly (except in relation to the provision of information to the data subject under paragraph 2(1)(a) of Part II Schedule 1 to the 1998 Act) and in accordance with statute law;
- the second data protection principle (personal data to be obtained only for specific purposes and not processed incompatibly with those purposes);
- the fourth data protection principle (personal data to be accurate and kept up to date);
- the sixth data protection principle (personal data to be processed in accordance with the rights of individuals under the Act);
- the eighth data protection principle (restrictions on exporting personal data); and
- the right of subject access.
It should be made clear that the right to compensation for distress conferred by section 13 of the Data Protection Act 1998 is not restricted to cases of pecuniary loss, but should include compensation for pure distress.3
The procedural provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 with special application to journalism in:
- section 32(4) and (5)
- sections 44 to 46 inclusive should be repealed.4
In conjunction with the repeal of those procedural provisions, consideration should be given to the desirability of including in the Data Protection Act 1998 a provision to the effect that, in considering the exercise of any powers in relation to the media or other publishers, the Information Commissioner’s Office should have special regard to the obligation in law to balance the public interest in freedom of expression alongside the public interest in upholding the data protection regime.5
Specific provision should be made to the effect that, in considering the exercise of any of its powers in relation to the media or other publishers, the Information Commissioner’s Office must have regard to the application to a data controller of any relevant system of regulation or standards enforcement which is contained in or recognised by statute.6
The necessary steps should be taken to bring into force the amendments made to section 55 of the Data Protection Act 1998 by section 77 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 (increase of sentence maxima) to the extent of the maximum specified period; and by section 78 of the 2008 Act (enhanced defence for public interest journalism).7
The prosecution powers of the Information Commissioner should be extended to include any offence which also constitutes a breach of the data protection principles.8
A new duty should be introduced (whether formal or informal) for the Information Commissioner’s Office to consult with the Crown Prosecution Service in relation to the exercise of its powers to undertake criminal proceedings.9
The opportunity should be taken to consider amending the Data Protection Act 1998 formally to reconstitute the Information Commissioner’s Office as an Information Commission, led by a Board of Commissioners with suitable expertise drawn from the worlds of regulation, public administration, law and business, and active consideration should be given in that context to the desirability of including on the Board a Commissioner from the media sector.10
I recommend to the Information Commissioner’s Office that:
The Information Commissioner’s Office should take immediate steps to prepare, adopt and publish a policy on the exercise of its formal regulatory functions in order to ensure that the press complies with the legal requirements of the data protection regime.11
In discharge of its functions and duties to promote good practice in areas of public concern, the Information Commissioner’s Office should take immediate steps, in consultation with the industry, to prepare and issue comprehensive good practice guidelines and advice on appropriate principles and standards to be observed by the press in the processing of personal data. This should be prepared and implemented within six months from the date of this Report.12
The Information Commissioner’s Office should take steps to prepare and issue guidance to the public on their individual rights in relation to the obtaining and use by the press of their personal data, and how to exercise those rights.13
In particular, the Information Commissioner’s Office should take immediate steps to publish advice aimed at individuals (data subjects) concerned that their data have or may have been processed by the press unlawfully or otherwise than in accordance with good practice.14
The Information Commissioner’s Office, in the Annual Report to Parliament which it is required to make by virtue of section 52(1) of the Act, should include regular updates on the effectiveness of the foregoing measures, and on the culture, practices and ethics of the press in relation to the processing of personal data.15
The Information Commissioner’s Office should immediately adopt the Guidelines for Prosecutors on assessing the public interest in cases affecting the media, issued by the Director of Public Prosecutions in September 2012.16
The Information Commissioner’s Office should take immediate steps to engage with the Metropolitan Police on the preparation of a long-term strategy in relation to alleged media crime with a view to ensuring that the Office is well placed to fulfil any necessary role in this respect in the future, and in particular in the aftermath of Operations Weeting, Tuleta and Elveden.17
The Information Commissioner’s Office should take the opportunity to review the availability to it of specialist legal and practical knowledge of the application of the data protection regime to the press, and to any extent necessary address it.18
The Information Commissioner’s Office should take the opportunity to review its organisation and decision-making processes to ensure that large-scale issues, with both strategic and operational dimensions (including the relationship between the culture, practices and ethics of the press in relation to personal information on the one hand, and the application of the data protection regime to the press on the other) can be satisfactorily considered and addressed in the round.19

stageRunner_around(other_runner)
If we want to execute some behavior just before and just after executing terminal nodes in a stageRunner, a solution without this method would be to overlay two runners -- one before and one after. However, this is messy, so this function is intended to replace this approach with just one function.
Consider the runner
sr1 <- stageRunner$new(some_env, list(a = function(e) print('2')))
If we run
sr2 <- stageRunner$new(some_env, list(a = function(e) {
print('1'); yield(); print('3') }))
sr1$around(sr2)
sr1$run()
then we will see 1, 2, and 3 printed in succession. The yield()
keyword is used to specify when to execute the terminal node that
is sandwiched in the "around" runner.

Finite Geometry Notes
|
"Qui nimium probat, nihil probat. That is, if you prove too much, you prove nothing. I cannot tell in which sense the inventor of this classical saying intended to use it, but I wish to explain a meaning of the sentence that I found extremely helpful when I started doing some work in mathematics, and ever since. The sentence reminds me of one of the most useful signs by which we can judge the workability of a plan of the solution.
Here is the situation: you wish to prove a proposition. This proposition consists of a conclusion and a hypothesis which has several clauses, and you know that each one of these clauses is necessary to the conclusion, that is, none of them can be discarded without rendering the conclusion of the proposition invalid. You have conceived a plan of the proof, and you are weighing the chances of your plan. If your plan does not bring into play all the clauses, you have to modify your plan or reject it: if it would work as it is and prove the conclusion, although it leaves aside this or that clause of the hypothesis, it would prove too much, that is, something false, and so it would prove nothing.
I said that your plan should bring into play those clauses. I mean that mere lip-service is not enough, just mentioning them does not do: your plan should provide for essential use of each clause in the proof. The framework intended to support the conclusion cannot stand up unless it has a solid foothold in each clause of the hypothesis.
It may be very difficult to devise a plan that duly brings into play all the clauses of the hypothesis. Therefore, if a plan promises to catch all those clauses, we greet it with relief: there is an excellent sign, a strong indication that the plan may work.
.... If you prefer a French sentence to a Latin saying, here is one: 'La mariee est trop belle'; the bride looks too good. I do not think that I need to amplify this; after the foregoing the reader can picture all the details to himself."
-- George Polya, Patterns of Plausible Inference (Volume II of Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning), Princeton University Press, 1954, pages 162-163
In Dharwadker's attempted proof of the four-color conjecture, the clauses of the hypothesis include the assumption that N is the minimal number of colors that suffices to properly color any map on the sphere. But a first reading of Dharwadker's attempted proof does not reveal how Dharwadker uses these properties of N in any essential way. Apparently the only place they appear in the proof is in the fourth sentence of the paragraph that precedes Lemma 4. This sentence is, "Note that the subsets 0,1,...,N-1 are each nonempty (since [the map] m(N) requires all of the N colours to be properly coloured) and form a partition of the set of regions of m(N) (by virtue of proper colouring)."
This sentence is what Polya calls "mere lip-service," "just mentioning" the clauses of the hypothesis.

Xerox considers takeover offer for PC maker HP: Report
The US printer maker's board discussed the possibility on Tuesday, the newspaper said, citing people familiar with the matter.
by ReutersXerox Holdings Corp is considering making a cash-and-stock offer for personal computer maker HP Inc at a premium to its market value of about $27 billion (20.96 billion pounds), the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
The US printer maker's board discussed the possibility on Tuesday, the newspaper said, citing people familiar with the matter.
There is no guarantee that Xerox will follow through with an offer or that one would succeed, it added.
Xerox has also received an informal funding commitment from a major bank, known as a "highly confident letter", WSJ said.
Both U.S.-based companies did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
On Monday, Xerox had said it will sell its 25% stake in Fuji Xerox, its joint venture with Fujifilm Holdings , for $2.3 billion, after investor activism scuppered a deal involving the two companies.
Xerox had scrapped its $6.1 billion deal to merge with Fujifilm last year after lobbying by two of its main investors, Carl Icahn and Darwin Deason.
HP has been struggling with its printer business segment recently. The company's segment revenue was down 5% on-year when it reported its third-quarter results in August.Special Thursday Expiry on 10th 7th Nov

Adaptor function for the Syk kinases-interacting protein 3BP2 in IL-2 gene activation.
Abstract
Syk-family tyrosine kinases are essential for lymphocyte development and activation. Using a yeast two-hybrid screen to identify Syk kinases-interacting proteins (SKIPs), we isolated 3BP2, an Abl SH3-interacting protein of unknown function. 3BP2 was selectively expressed in hematopoietic/lymphoid tissues and bound via its SH2 domain activated Syk-family kinases in mammalian cells, including in antigen receptor-stimulated T cells. In addition to Zap-70, the 3BP2 SH2 domain associated in vitro with LAT, Grb2, PLCgamma1, and Cbl from activated T cell lysates. Transient 3BP2 overexpression induced transcriptional activation of the IL-2 promoter and its NFAT or AP-1 elements. This activity was dependent on the SH2 and pleckstrin-homology domains of 3BP2, and required functional Syk kinases, Ras, and calcineurin. Thus, 3BP2 is an important adaptor that may couple activated Zap-70/Syk to a LAT-containing signaling complex involved in TCR-mediated gene transcription.


Son of Olympians Rob and Marian Heffernan scores for Ireland U15s
There was also a stunning goal from Shamrock Rovers’ Kevin Zefi in the 2-1 win over Poland.
by Ben BlakeIRELAND’S U15S ENJOYED a 2-1 friendly win over Poland at Eamonn Deacy Park last night.
Kevin Zefi of Shamrock Rovers scored the opener on 32 minutes and what a goal it was.
The midfielder picked the ball up in his own half and set off on a mazy run — exchanging a one-two with Caden McLaughlin before gliding past a couple of defenders and stroking the ball into the bottom corner.
Five minutes into the second half, Cork City defender Cathal Heffernan then doubled the advantage for Jason Donohue’s side.
The son of Irish Olmpians Rob and Marian Heffernan, who made his debut in a 3-1 win over Latvia in October, headed home from close range after Sam Curtis had put Luke O’Brien’s half-cleared free-kick back into the danger area.
Poland pulled one back two minutes later but Ireland claimed their fourth win from as many games.
