In 1950 two brothers, Kedarnath and Satyanarayan Aggarwal, moved to Delhi from Bikaner to plan an expansion of their traditional business. Initially the brothers set up a stall in Chandni Chowk by the name of Bikaner Bhujia Bhandar (lit. 'Bikaneri bhujia store'), on Paranthe wali Gali. In the 1960s, they increased their line of products by including more varieties of traditional sweets and namkeens, and opened several shops as Bikanervala in prominent parts of Delhi, including Karol Bagh.

Caryota urens

Caryota urens is a species of flowering plant in the palm family, native to Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar and Malaysia (perhaps elsewhere in Indo-Malayan region), where they grow in fields and rainforest clearings, it is regarded as introduced in Cambodia. The epithet urens is Latin for "stinging" alluding to the chemicals in the fruit. Common names in English include solitary fishtail palm, kitul palm, toddy palm, wine palm, sago palm and jaggery palm. Its leaf is used as fishing rod after trimming the branches of the leaf and drying. According to Monier-Williams, it is called moha-karin ("delusion maker") in Sanskrit. It is one of the sugar palms.
Caryota urens species is a solitary-trunked tree that can measure 18 metres (59 feet) in height and up to 30 centimetres (12 inches) wide. Widely spaced leaf-scar rings cover its gray trunk which culminate in a 6 m (20 ft) wide, 6 m tall leaf crown. The bipinnate leaves are triangular in shape, bright to deep green, 3.5 m (11 ft) long, and held on 60 cm (24 in) long petioles. The obdeltoid pinnae are 30 cm long with a pointed edge and a jagged edge.
The 3 m (10 ft) long inflorescences emerge at each leaf node, from top to bottom, producing pendent clusters of white, unisexual flowers. The fruit matures to a round, 1 cm (3⁄8 in) drupe, red in color with one seed. Like all Caryotas, the fruit contains oxalic acid, a skin and membrane irritant. As these plants are monocarpic, the completion of the flower and fruiting process results in the death of the tree.
The trunk contains a high quantity of starch and a juice can be extracted from the shoots of the flowers. The latter can be boiled into a sugary syrup. The cabbage can be eaten raw or cooked.
This species is called kithul (කිතුල්) in Sri Lanka. It is best known as the source of kithul treacle, a liquid jaggery. The sap of the tree is boiled for many hours until it turns into the thick, dark treacle, unique to Sri Lanka. Kithul treacle is used as a sweetener in both Sri Lankan and Western cooking.
Toddy is extracted from the inflorescence, and is considered somewhat powerful compared to toddy extracted from other palm trees. The pulp of the mature plant is cut, sun dried, and powdered, and is edible. It is sweet in taste. This powder is considered cool and nutritious in Coastal districts of Karnataka. In Sri Lanka, the powder is mixed with coconut milk and cooked to make Kithul Thalapa (කිතුල් තලප).
Elephants are fed both the leaf and the pulp of this plant.
The leaves possess strong fibres and are used for basketry in Cambodia, where the plant is named tunsaè. The heart of the trunk contains a starch similar to sago, as well the trunk can be used for building. The fruit, when its stiff hairs are removed, is pleasant and sweet to eat, and, as elsewhere, the Cambodians cut the stalks to make sugar, which in turn can be made into wine.
Caryota urens is cultivated as an ornamental tree, and planted in gardens and parks in tropical and sub-tropical climates. It is also used as an interior and houseplant when smaller.
Pootharekulu

Pootharekulu (plural) or poothareku (singular) is a popular Indian sweet from the Andhra Pradesh state of south India. The sweet is wrapped in a wafer-thin rice starch layer resembling paper and is stuffed with sugar, dry fruits and nuts. The sweet is popular for festivals, religious occasions and weddings in the Telugu states.
The name of the sweet literally means 'coated sheet' in the Telugu language—pootha means 'coating' and reku (plural rekulu) means 'sheet' in Telugu. The making of pootharekulu is a cottage industry in Atreyapuram, where around 400 families are dependent on the making and marketing of the sweet. As of October 2018, the state of Andhra Pradesh was said to be in the process of applying for Geographic Indication (GI) tag for the sweet.
Pootharekulu were created in Atreyapuram, a village and mandal headquarters in the East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh.
The sweet has a history of a few centuries (three centuries by some accounts). It is said that a village woman first prepared the sweet by adding sugar and ghee to leftover rice starch. Atreyapuram villagers soon started making wrappers from rice flour, put sugar and ghee inside and folded them. They supplied the sweets to candy manufacturers all over the two Telugu states.
Normally, women make pootharekulu in their free time while men are engaged in the marketing of the sweet. The annual turnover of the cottage industry is estimated to be Rs. 3 crore in 2016.
In August 2018, a group of cooks from East Godavari prepared a 10.5-meter long poothareku, as part of an attempt by the Andhra Pradesh tourism department to popularize Andhra cuisine.
Pootharekulu is made from a particular kind of rice batter called jaya biyyam ('biyyam' meaning rice), combined with powdered sugar and ghee (clarified butter). To make the edible film, a hot pot is prepared. To make the pot suitable, a hole is made in it, and to smoothen the surface for three days, the pot is alternately heated and wiped with a cloth dipped in oil. To make the films, coarse rice is ground for nearly two hours and made into a batter. This batter is then diluted; a thin cloth is dipped in the solution and put on the inverted pot with flame under it. The edible film forms on the pot instantly. The edible film is then wrapped with sugar and/or jaggery and coated with ghee.
Pootharekulu can be stuffed with different fillings, including fine powdered sugar, jaggery, dry fruits, and chocolate powder. Hot and spicy pootharekulu are a relatively new variant.
List of Indian classical music festivals

The following is an incomplete list of Indian classical music festivals, which encapsulates music festivals focused on Indian classical music. The origins of Indian classical music can be found in the Vedas, which are the oldest scriptures in the Hindu tradition dating back to 1500 BC. Indian classical music has also been significantly influenced by, or syncretised with, Indian folk music. There are two divisions in Indian classical music. Hindustani music is mainly found in North India. Carnatic music, from South India, tends to be more rhythmically intensive and structured than Hindustani music. While some festivals such as the Carnatic event Tyagaraja Aradhana (founded in the 1840s) continue to focus on traditional Carnatic classical music, an emergent trend of the past few decades has been that of fusion music, where genres such as khyal and western music are intermixed to appeal to a wider audience.

Metcalfe accused Festival of "intentional, deliberate and willful" violations of trademark laws, since Metcalfe applied for a trademark on its "Wisconsin Food Miles" road sign as compared to Festival's "Locally Grown" road sign. Festival said that it would fight the suit.
In September 2019, Festival Foods was fined $32,016 by a state agency for labeling errors.

Immram curaig Ua Corra

Ar cheann de thrí Immram, scéalta aistear mara, atá fós ar marthain is ea Iomramh Currach Uí Chorra (Sean-Ghaeilge Immram curaig húa Corra). Caomhnaítear an scéal i dtrí lámhscríbhinn, iad uile sa leabharlann in Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann.
Bhí triúr mac ag Connall ó Corra, as Connachta, a bhí margadh déanta aige leis an diabhal sular rugadh iad. D'fhás na deartháireacha suas agus d'éirigh ina gceannairí ar bhuíon mhíchlúiteach a dhírigh ar shéipéil an cheantair, go dtí go bhfacadar fís agus rinneadar aithrí. Chuadar triúr chuig mainistir Naomh Finnian Chluain Ioraird, a dúirt leo gach cill a scriosadar a athchóiriú.
Mar ghníomh deireanach dóláis, spreagtha ag Naomh Comán Chinn Mhara, coimeádaí na cille deireanaí cóirithe acu, d'imigh leo triúr ar turas mara i gcurach ar Aigéan Atlantach, i dteannta le cúigear eile (easpag, sagart, deagánach, ceoltóir agus a tréadaí a thóg an curach).
Agus iad ag triall ar muir, ag tabhairt sciuirdé ar oileán i ndiaidh oileáin, bhuail siad le fíní éagsúla agus tharla eachtraí draíochta dóibh (inste mar fáthscéalta Críostaí). Shroich siad faoi dheireadh Leithinis na hIbéire, áit a shocraigh siad síos agus thóg siad cill.
Tar éis tamaill, d'imigh an t-easpag leis chuig an Róimh, i dteannta le hógánach amháin. Chuadar beirt ansin ar ais go hÉirinn agus d'inis scéal a chuid eachtraí, a scríobhadh síos i bhfoirm dáin.
D'fhéadfadh go bhfuil gaol leis an immram seo agus scéal Andalúiseach de chuid na 12ú haoise inste ag al-Idrisi, maidir le hochtar Maghurin (fánaithe) as Liospóin, a théann ar turas mara agus a shroicheann oileáin draíochta. B'fhéidir go bhfuil gaol idir turais mara na n-iomhramha agus seanscéalta Lochlannacha.
Is féidir Immram curaig Ua Corra a chur i gcomparáid le sliocht as an Rāma-ayana.

Mhair a réimeas ar feadh 63 bliain, an réimeas is faide a bhí ag aon mhonarc na Breataine riamh, go dtí gur éirigh Eilís II ar an mbanríon is faide i réim i 2015. Tugtar 'An Ré Victeoiriach' ar aimsir a réimis.
Tháinig a mac, Éadbhard VII, i gcomharbacht uirthi.
In am Victoria, bhí Éire ina cuid den Ríocht Aontaithe. Thug an Bhanríon Victoria cuairt ar Éirinn ceithre huaire: in 1849, in 1853, in 1861 agus in 1900.
1849
Tugadh ‘Banríon an
Drochshaoil’ uirthi óir tháinig sí féin agus an Prionsa Albert go hÉirinn in 1849, i rith an Ghorta Mhóir, agus is minic a deirtear nár thug sí ach £5 chun cabhrú leis na daoine a bhí ag fáil bháis leis an ocras. Is é fírinne an scéil gur bhronn sí £2,000, áfach; agus gríosaíodh í i rith na cuairte sin ag muintir Corcaí, ag muintir Bhaile Átha Cliath, agus i mBéal Feirste (tá an scéal níos casta áfach). Athainmníodh Cóbh (a tugadh Cove air i mBéarla roimhe seo) mar Queenstown ('baile na banríona') chun an chuairt seo a cheiliúradh.
1853
Tháinig an bhanríon agus a céile go hÉirinn arís in 1853, chun the Exhibition of Art and Art Industry a fheiceáil i mBaile Átha Cliath.
1861
D’fhill sí ar an tír arís in 1861, le triúr dá gclann, chun a mac is sine, an Prionsa Albert Éadbhard, a fheiceáil (bhí sé ag traenáil leis an arm sa Churrach). Le linn na cuairte seo, d’fhan an teaghlach ríoga i dTeach Fhear Ionad na Banríona (Áras an Uachtaráin anois) agus ansin i dTeach Mhucrois. Ina dhiaidh sin, bhí ar úinéir Theach Mhucrois, Henry Arthur Albert, an teach a dhíol chun íoc as na costais.
1900
D’eagraíodh an chuairt dheireanach go hÉirinn, i mí Aibreáin 1900, chun crógacht na saighdiúirí Éireannacha sa Chogadh in Afraic Theas a chomóradh. Bronnadh bonn do gach uile phóilín a bhí ar dualgas ag a coinní agus do gach uile státseirbhíseach a bhí ar dualgas i mBaile Átha Cliath le linn na cuairte.
Sheas Victoria an fód in aghaidh Rialtas Dúchais na hÉireann, áfach, agus níor réitigh sí go maith leis an bPríomh-Aire William Ewart Gladstone, a chuir an Chéad Bhille Rialtas Dúchais agus an Dara Bille Rialtas Dúchais os comhair na parlaiminte.
Contae Chiarraí

In iarthar Chúige Mumhan atá Ciarraí nó Contae Chiarraí. Tá dhá pháirc náisiúnta sa chontae. Tá Corrán Tuathail, an sliabh is mó in Éirinn, suite i gCiarraí. Bíonn an fhéile "The Rose of Tralee" ar siúl i Mí Lúnasa. Is iomaí féilte a bhíonn ar siúl ann i rith na bliana. Is é an dTrá Lí an príomhbhaile sa chontae.
Bhí 64,105 duine ábalta Gaoluinn a labhairt. Labhair 13,109 daoine teanga eile seachas Béarla nó Gaeilge. Ba í an Pholainnis an teanga ba chomónta de na teangacha seo agus 3,942 duine á labhairt gach lá.
Tá stair fhada agus rathúil ag Contae Chiarraí maidir le peil Ghaelach. Is í foireann idirchontae Chiarraí an fhoireann is rathúla sa tír sa lá atá inniu ann.
Mícheál Ó Lócháin

Bhí Mícheál Ó Lócháin (1836 – 1899) ar na gníomhaithe Gaeilge ab éifeachtaí sna Stáit Aontaithe. Eisean a bhunaigh an chéad iris a raibh mórán Gaeilge le léamh inti.
Rugadh é i gCurrach Doire, Baile an Mhuillinn, Contae na Gaillimhe. De mhuintir Oisín (Hession) ó Gharraí Mór an tSléibhe i gContae Mhaigh Eo ba ea a mháthair. Is dócha nach raibh aon Bhéarla aici. Níl aon amhras ná gur chainteoir dúchais Gaeilge é Mícheál Ó Lócháin, agus bhí Béarla aige freisin. Bhí sé ag freastal ar scoil sa cheantar go dtí an bhliain 1854, agus seans go ndeachaigh sé chun ceann de scoileanna neamhspleácha Sheáin Mhic Héil.
Bhain sé Meiriceá amach sa bhliain 1870, agus deirtear go bhfuair sé a chéad phost ann mar mhúinteoir scoile. Sa bhliain 1872 scríobh sé chun The Irish World, nuachtán Gael-Mheiriceánach, faoi “the necessity of preserving the Irish language in order to preserve Irish nationality”. Mhol sé go gcuirfí ranganna agus cumainn ar bun chuige. An bhliain chéanna bhunaigh sé rang “Philo-Celtic” do dhaoine fásta sa scoil Chaitliceach in Brooklyn mar a raibh sé ina mhúinteoir. Uaidh seo a d’eascair craobhacha de Chumann Carad na Gaeilge i mBostún, in Brooklyn agus i Nua-Eabhrac.
Sa bhliain 1881 bhunaigh an Lóchánach An Gaodhal, iris dhátheangach an Chumainn. Mhair sí anuas go dtí an bhliain 1904 agus tháinig ar ais anois agus arís ina dhiaidh sin nó gur bunaíodh An Gael sa bhliain 2009. Tháinig a lán ábhair ó pheann an Lóchánaigh ar an iris agus é idir bhríomhar agus throdach.
Idir na blianta 1878 agus 1899 bhí craobhacha den Chumann á gcur ar bun ar fud na Stát, cé nach mó ná sásta a bhí an Lóchánach toisc tús áite a bheith á thabhairt don chuidiúlacht ar an nGaeilge. Sa bhliain thug Dubhghlas de hÍde cuairt ar na Stáit agus fuair rang de chuid an Chumainn sa Bowery a bhí lán de Ghaeilgeoirí. B’fhéidir go ndeachaigh sé sin i bhfeidhm air agus é ag cuidiú le Conradh na Gaeilge a chur ar bun sa bhliain 1893.
Cailleadh an Lóchánach sa bhliain 1899 agus cuireadh é i Reilig na Croise Naofa in Brooklyn.
Bull boat

A bull boat is a useful small boat, usually made by the Nueta and frontiersmen, made by covering a skeletal wooden frame with a buffalo hide. It was used for traveling and fishing.
When the traders of Hudson's Bay Company first visited the Nueta in 1790 they found that tribe possessed tublike boats with a framework of willow poles, covered with raw buffalo hides. Later, frontiersmen who ascended the Missouri River noted this light, convenient craft. From 1810 to 1830, American fur traders on the tributaries of the Missouri regularly built boats eighteen to thirty feet long, using the methods of construction employed by the Native Americans in making their circular boats. These elongated bull boats were capable of transporting two tons of fur down the shallow waters of the Platte River. These larger boats required joining the buffalo hides with waterproof seams, a technique not used by the American Indians.
A bull boat's framework was made of willow branches bent in a huge bowl shape about four feet across the top and eighteen inches deep. A bull buffalo hide (thus the bull phrase) was then stretched around this framework. The entire boat weighed about 30 pounds. The hair was left on the hide because it prevented the craft from spinning and aided in keeping the water out. The tails were also kept intact and used to tie numerous bull boats together. Once in the water, it was not very steady because it bobbed around like a cork, but it was serviceable for short trips.
William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition described them thus:
A bull boat closely resembles a Welsh coracle, an Irish/Scottish currach, and an Iraqi/Mesopotamian quffa. This similarity was used to support a theory that a Welsh party colonized the New World in the 12th century. However, circular boats of similar design and construction appear in many different regions and do not share a common origin. In fact, these boats are similar solutions to common transportation needs on rivers: ferrying passengers and freight and serving as lighters and fishing boats. Their common design is so widespread because it is easy to make using materials readily available since the Stone Age—wood, animal hide, etc.—and very sturdy and effective.
Flat-bottomed boat

A flat-bottomed boat is a boat with a shallow draft, two-chined hull, which allows it to be used in shallow bodies of water, such as rivers, because it is less likely to ground.
The flat hull also makes the boat more stable in calm water, which is good for hunters and anglers. However this design becomes less stable in choppy water. This is because it causes the boat to travel on the water, instead of through it, as a boat with a rounded or V-shaped hull would.
Flat hulls are simple to construct, making them popular with boat-building hobbyists.
In Britain they came to popular notice during the planned French invasion of Britain in 1759, when a large-number of flat-bottomed boats were prepared by the French to ferry their invasion force across the channel and a number were destroyed during the British Raid on Le Havre. The flat-bottoms are mentioned in the song Heart of Oak written by David Garrick during 1759.
Milwaukee Irish Fest

Milwaukee Irish Fest (locally known as Irish Fest) is a yearly Irish-American festival held at the Henry Maier Festival Park, on Lake Michigan, United States, every third weekend in August. Over 130,000 people attend the Fest each year to watch nearly 250 acts on 17 stages. The four-day festival started in 1981, founded by Edward J. Ward. Irish Fest is the largest of the ethnic festivals held at the Summerfest grounds which report attendance, and holds claim to the largest celebration of Irish Culture in the world.
Festival highlights include:
The annual closing event is the Scattering, a gathering of many of the festival's musicians playing together in one combined session, with fifty or more musicians on the stage at one time not uncommon.
Irish Fest celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2005, which saw the opening of the new Celtic Roots stage. President of Ireland, Mary McAleese also attended that year's fest. There was no Irish Fest in 2020 as officials cited the COVID-19 pandemic as grounds for scrapping most events & moving others online.
Flats boat

Flats boats are a category of boat designed primarily for fishing in protected, shallow water areas often referred to as "flats" by anglers.
While the name may be misconstrued to mean the boat hull is flat, this is not generally the case and include various v-hull designs. However some flats boats designs, sometimes called skiffs are truly a flat-bottomed boat design.
The deadrise (which, simplified, is a measure of the angle of bottom in v-hull boats) of most flats boats is generally a small angle because larger deadrise often requires more water displacement which increase the boat's draft and is not desirable for flats boats in shallow water. However, lower deadrise may produce a rougher ride in choppy water than a comparable boat with larger deadrise angle.
Flats boats are often small easily trailerable boats although some may reach up to 23 ft in length or more. They are typically equipped with outboard motors and offer a relatively shallow draft compared to other boats of the same length, to allow for passage over sandbars, oyster beds or other submerged objects or underwater features with less risk of damaging the hull or engine.
Some flats boats may be equipped with features such as a "jack plate" which allow the operator of the boat to lift the outboard vertically in addition to the tilt and trim mechanisms generally offered by many outboard motors. They may also be equipped with trim tabs. Both jack plates and trim tabs can offer an advantage in shallow water starts to plane among other uses. Additionally, some flats boats may be equipped with a "poling platform" which allows for a fishing guide or other person to push the boat in shallow water while an angler fishes from the bow.
Flats boats may be designed as an open cockpit and tiller controlled outboard motor, a side console or center console.
Micro-skiffs (which are, generally, a smaller and lighter, no-frills design similar to a number of flats boats) may be considered by some as a subcategory of flats boat.
Some concerns have been raised about the safety of certain designs of flats boats, particularly the tunnel vee, according to a USCG study in 2013.
Tunnel vee boats, sometimes referred to as tunnel hull boats, are a design in which the center of the boat hull is essentially cut out for some length into a shape which may be somewhat similar to a catamaran in that in that section the boat hull may resemble sponsons instead of coming to a "vee" shape at the bottom. This design allows for mounting (or raising with a jack plate) the outboard motor higher while still allowing significant water flow to the propeller and the motor's cooling water intake. One advantage of this design is when operating the boat at speed in shallow waters with the engine raised where there is less restriction for the upward flow of water to the outboard motor's cooling water intake.
Galway hooker

The Galway hooker (Irish: húicéir) is a traditional fishing boat used in Galway Bay off the west coast of Ireland. The hooker was developed for the strong seas there. It is identified by its sharp, clean entry, bluff bow, marked tumblehome and raked transom. Its sail plan consists of a single mast with a main sail and two foresails. Traditionally, the boat is black (being coated in pitch) and the sails are a dark red-brown.
From the late 20th century, there has been a revival of and renewed interest in the Galway hooker, and the boats are still being constructed. The festival of Cruinniú na mBád is held each year, when boats race across Galway Bay from Connemara to Kinvara on the border between County Galway and County Clare.
The hooker refers to four classes of boats. All are named in Irish. The Bád Mór (big boat) ranges in length from 10.5 to 13.5 metres (35 to 44 feet). The smaller Leathbhád (half-boat) is about 10 metres (28 feet) in length. Both the Bád Mór and Leathbhád are decked forward of the mast. These boats were used to carry turf to be used as fuel across Galway Bay from Connemara and County Mayo to the Aran Islands and the Burren. The boats often brought limestone on the return journeys, to neutralise the acid soils of Connemara and Mayo. The Gleoiteog ranges in length from 7 to 9 metres (24 to 28 feet), and has the same sails and rigging as the larger boats. They were used for fishing and carrying cargo. Another boat, the Púcán, is similar in size to the Gleoiteog but has a lug mainsail and a foresail. These smaller boats were entirely open.
There was also a class fitted with a cockpit floor over the ballast used for fishing. When the Irish settlers at Boston in North America needed fishing craft, they built the hooker that they knew from home. These boats became known as 'Boston Hookers', 'Irish Cutters' (in official reports), or 'Paddy Boats'.
While a utilitarian boat, suited for the shallow waters of Galway Bay and being capable of being beached where necessary, the Galway Hooker is prone to being swamped and sinking in a short time in the absence of a cabin and high freeboard. Eighty-two shipwrecks are recorded in the unpublished 'Shipwreck Inventory of Wrecks for Galway Bay'. These wrecks date to between 1750 and 1938; of them, 59 are from the 19th century. No records are known to exist for the period prior to the 18th century. Cargo throughout this period would usually be held in wooden casks varnished with fish oil for waterproofing.
The origins of the craft are not clear and remain a matter of conjecture. A major spark in the revival of interest was the publication in 1983 of The Galway Hookers: Sailing work boats of Galway Bay (Richard J. Scott, d 24/01/08)—now in its fourth edition—in which for the first time detailed construction and sail plans were published.
Walter Macken

Walter Macken (3 May 1915 – 22 April 1967; Irish: Uaitéar Ó Maicín), was born in Galway, Ireland. He was a writer of short stories, novels and plays.
Walter Macken was originally an actor, principally with the Taibhdhearc (where he met his wife, Peggy) in Galway, and The Abbey Theatre in Dublin. He also played lead roles on Broadway in M. J. Molloy's The King of Friday's Men and his own play Home Is the Hero. The success of his third book, Rain on the Wind (winner of the Literary Guild award in the USA), enabled him to focus his energies on writing. He also acted in films, notably in Arthur Dreifuss' adaptation of Brendan Behan's The Quare Fellow. He is perhaps best known for his trilogy of Irish historical novels Seek the Fair Land, The Silent People and The Scorching Wind.
In September 1966 he moved to the small Gaeltacht village of Menlo in County Galway. Many of Macken's works are rooted in the Galway area of Connemara. He died suddenly at home on 22 April 1967 and was survived by his wife and two sons. His son Ultan Macken is a well-known journalist in the print and broadcast media of Ireland, and wrote a biography of his father, Walter Macken: Dreams on Paper.
Two further novels, 'And then No More' (1946) and 'Cockles and Mustard' (1947) remain unpublished.
Macken wrote some 5 collections of short stories for children, and also:
* Previously published in The Green Hills (MacMillan, 1956)
* Previously published in The Coll Doll and other Stories (Macmillan, 1969) ** Previously published in God Made Sunday and other Stories (Macmillan, 1962)
Type 22 missile boat

The Type 22 (NATO designation: Houbei class) missile boat is a ship class in the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy. The first boat was launched in April 2004 by the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard at Shanghai. The boats incorporate stealth features and are based on Australian-designed wave-piercing catamaran hulls that are more stable than other fast missile craft in high sea conditions. 82 of these missile boats are currently in service with three flotillas having been produced over a span of seven years, operating in squadrons of eight vessels each.
The Type 22 fast attack craft are China's entry into a growing list of missile-armed attack craft which include Finland's Hamina class missile boat, and Norway's Skjold class patrol boat. The wave-piercing catamaran design may mean as much as a 50% reduction in vessel speed penalty in high sea conditions (in which monohulls may only perform at half or less of their maximum capability). Further, seasickness and disorientation is significantly reduced, improving the combat readiness/situational awareness of the small-craft operators during such conditions.
The polygonal-designed superstructure with its similarly angled gun mount indicates a reduced radar cross-section, but built out of aluminium rather than composites. The Type 22 has an advanced C4 datalink that may represent some kind of capability to allow AWACS planes or other ships to vector the Type 22's missiles. The aluminium hull is reported to use friction stir welding.
Faering

A faering is an open boat with two pairs of oars, commonly found in most boat-building traditions in western and northern Scandinavia.
Faerings are clinker-built, with planks overlapped and riveted together to form the hull. This type of boat has a history dating back to Viking-era Scandinavia. The small boats found with the 9th century Gokstad ship resemble those still used in Western and Northern Norway, and testify to a long tradition of boat building. Faerings may carry a small sail, traditionally a square sail, in addition to oars. The only significant difference being a conversion from a side-mounted rudder to stern-mounted. They are used as small fishing vessels in areas of modern Norway, and occasionally raced.
The word faering comes from the Norwegian word færing (Old Norse feræringr), literally meaning "four-oaring".
Curracloe

Curracloe (Irish: Currach Cló, meaning 'marsh of the impression') is a village in County Wexford, Ireland. Around 8 kilometres (5 mi) northeast of Wexford town, it is on the R742 road at the junction with the R743 road. It is linked to the long and sandy Curracloe Strand (beach) 4 km (2.5 mi) to the east. Curracloe sees an influx of holiday travellers every summer, who stay in bed & breakfast inns, mobile homes and caravan parks.
Ballinesker Beach and Curracloe Strand, Ballinesker, were used for the filming of the D-Day sequence in Saving Private Ryan, due to similarity to Omaha Beach in Normandy. Filming began 27 June 1997, and lasted for two months. The village of Curracloe lacked three-phase electricity but when the film company decided to film there, it was connected. Curracloe Strand was also used for the Irish beach scene in the movie Brooklyn.
