EKC's Derek O'Neill's Big Heart Featured In Variety Ireland


Variety at Work

A Big Thank You to Derek O'Neill
International Humanitarian and Philanthropist

Derek became involved in Variety, The Children's Charity a number of years ago when he met the Late Kevin Wall (Chief Barker at the time) who brought him to see a swing, called the Variety Liberty Swing. This allows wheelchair-bound children and young adults to access a swing without having to lifted from their chair - the wheelchair is rolled onto the swing, secured and the fun begins.

Derek O'Neill works tirelessly through his work with the SQ Foundation and has donated millions to various charities around the world, quietly, anonymously and without ever asking for anything in return.

We are proud and honoured that Derek has chosen Variety as one of his charities of choice and has taken the Liberty Swing Project and in Kevin's memory he has taken on a personal promise to have one of these swings placed in every county in Ireland.

Derek has committed to donating two swings every year for ten years and to date has dotted four around the country.

Thank you Derek O'Neill and SQ Worldwide for your support and commitment to the Liberty Swing Project.

Love Advice In Time For V-Day With EKC Numerologist Donetta Huffman

Photo: Getty Images

By Donetta Huffman

Finding out if you and your sweetheart are meant to be is sometimes a gut feeling, judged by your relationship’s strengths and flaws. However, many couples (more often women) seek clarity by visiting psychics and astrologers. Whether for fun or to validate some serious decision-making about the fate of a relationship, these ‘supernatural’ predicting methods are a trend for young women looking for advice. If you’re a numbers gal, numerology may be the thing that you crave.

Numerology is the study of the symbolism of numbers to determine a couples life path, destiny, soul and overall compatibility. It can lead you to some interesting romance facts. You may have heard about numerology, but thought it was a complicated mathematical process that was difficult to master. Don’t worry; it’s not like those hard to memorize, crazy x-y equations that made your palms sweat and gave your stomach butterflies while taking high school algebra tests. It’s much simpler and can be easier applied and utilized in your everyday life. The math is fairly simple. Here’s what you do:

Related: How to Define Your Aura to Find Lasting Love

First, take the birthday of your boyfriend, husband, fling or love crush and add the numbers together one-by-one. For example, Justin Timberlake was born on: 1-31-1981. So add 1+3+1+1+9+8+1. The sum that you get should be double digits. In this example we get the number 24. Now add those two numbers together to get the single digit Life Path for that person. In this case, Justin’s Life Path number is 2+4= 6. This number has a meaning that numerology specialists use to decode relationships.

Take a look at these three celebrity couples below to see if numerology ranks true for these Hollywood Sweethearts:

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel

These two have very compatible numbers, Justin is a 6 and Jessica an 8. Both are goal-oriented and do not shy away from responsibilities. These two may pursue their goals in different ways, but as long as they play off of each other’s strengths, their relationship has a chance to last. In addition, Jessica has an 8 Soul and Personality and Justin has an 8 Destiny, so the couple feels like they understand one another on a deeper level. Jessica feels protected by Justin, with his nurturing 6 Life Path. They actually share numbers with an actress who eventually became a princess. Grace Kelly transformed into Princess Grace when she left Hollywood and married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956. This is still known as one of the greatest love stories of all time.

Related: Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Show PDA at Dinner Party

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian

This couple got off to a somewhat rocky start, as they were both married to other people when they met. LeAnn is a Life Path 2 and Eddie is a Life Path 6. Considered one of the most loving unions, this is a romantic combination, as both numbers love easily, without holding back. Neither number is afraid to show their true feelings. Also, with LeAnn’s 2 Life Path, she sees herself in Eddie’s 2 Personality. His 6 Life Path recognizes her 9 Soul, thus having a deep artistic connection. LeAnn and Eddie are in great company when it comes to lasting relationships. With the same number combinations, Hollywood icon Bob Hope and his wife Delores were married for 69 years, while Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have it all – three lovely children and very busy, successful careers.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Somewhat of a curious combination of numbers, with Angelina’s 5 Life Path and Brad’s 4 Life Path. This can sometimes be a challenging combination, as 4’s usually like routine, whereas 5’s love change and the unexpected, but that is where the initial attraction might have started. They are so different, but could have found admiration in these qualities. Angelina not only has a 6 Soul, but also a 6 Destiny – it is no wonder she keeps having and adopting children. 6’s are the maternal, paternal number. When she met Brad, she saw this in Brad’s 6 Personality. The qualities they show to the world are that of loving parents. With Angelina’s adventurous Life Path 5, life with her promises never to be boring!

Originating from the most well-known Greek mathematical thinker, Pythagoras, Numerology predates Tarot, and is quickly becoming the biggest craze in self help. Semi-Circle Numerology cards can give people the ability to feel powerful in the realization that they have been sent here for a purpose and given many tools to accomplish life’s mission.

New York Media Looks to Eileen Koch for Insight on Blue Ivy's Birth

Jay-Z dropped a lullaby for his new baby girl Monday called "Glory," complete with vocals from Blue Ivy Carter, his new bundle of joy.

"The most amazing feeling I feel/Words can't describe what a feeling, for real/Baby I'll paint the sky blue, My greatest creation was you," the Brooklyn-born hip-hop star raps in the track, released on his website, LifeandTimes.com.

In the song, which ends with a wail by his new baby, Jay-Z reveals that he and superstar wife Beyonce endured an agonizing miscarriage and painful fertility problems before their child's Saturday arrival.

"Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/We was afraid you disappeared/But nah, baby you magic," he sings, also revealing that the child, whom he calls "B.I.C." in the song, was "made in Paris."

The baby's name was confirmed by fellow friend and actress Gwyneth Paltrow on Twitter and swiftly became a trending topic on the social media site.

Beyonce, 30, and Jay-Z, 42, married in 2008, and the "Single Ladies" singer was reported multiple times in the past two years to have been pregnant.

But Jay-Z's lyrics in the new song on Monday were thought to be the first time the couple had publicly spoken of previous pregnancies and a miscarriage.

Eileen Koch CEO of Eileen Koch Public Relations - who has done publicity for Jay-Z's 40/40 club - shot down the idea that "Glory" was an attempt to divert attention from reports that Lenox Hill Hospital was on "lockdown" to families of other newborns when Beyonce checked in on Friday.

"They had to block it off!" Koch said. "They're a very powerful couple and people go crazy when it comes to celebrities; this was about safety."

(with Reuters)

***

His tribute

Some excerpts from Jay-Z's revealing song "Glory," about his newborn daughter:

"Flase dreams and false starts/
All made better by the sound of your heart/
All the pain
of the last time/
I prayed so hard it was the last time."

"You're mama
said that you
danced for her/
Did you wiggle your hands for her?"

"God makes no mistakes, I made a few/
Rough sledding here and there, but I
made it through/
I wreak havoc on the world, get ready
for part two/
A younger, faster me."
