“Irish is a dead language!”
Listen to Misha Yerhidzé, a 10 year old Ukranian boy who fled the war with his mother just over two years ago and settled in Baile an Fheirtéaraigh, in the West Kerry Gaeltacht. He has embraced the language and music of his new community.
@ao1964 I'm impressed. He starts to pronounce correctly near the end of the report. It looks like it's going to be a crap few days unfortunately. I would have preferred some snow.
So Oisín is a very popular boy's name in Ireland because of the Tír na nÓg story. It also means fawn... which is gas because Oisín's mother was briefly turned into a deer.
@ao1964 They look cool. Could be useful in our house now. Going hoarse shouting up the stairs to get teenagers attention. I now know what to get you for your birthday.
Seventy years ago, the United States received news about Stalin's death through a coded message intercepted by a 21-year-old Air Force Staff Sergeant. This individual happened to be the renowned singer/songwriter, Johnny Cash. Back in 1950, at the young age of 18, Johnny Cash joined the U.S. military and was later stationed in Landsberg, West Germany for a three-year tour. Landsberg served as an important outpost during the outbreak of the Cold War that followed World War II, confronting Soviet aggression.
Due to Cash's exceptional proficiency in deciphering Morse Code, he was assigned a significant role at his post in Landsberg, where he monitored Soviet communications. On March 5th, 1953, while on duty, Staff Sgt. Cash transcribed a crucial communication from the Russians. This communication held great importance as it revealed the deteriorating health of Soviet Leader Joseph Stalin. Given Stalin's position as the head of the Soviet Empire, his well-being was of utmost concern to the United States intelligence community and other Western powers.
By relaying this information to his superiors, Cash became the first American to learn of the Soviet supreme leader's death, marking a significant moment in history.
