How to Pronounce SAORADH and SAOIRSE?

 According to the webpage at 

https://www.teanglann.ie/en/fuaim/saoradh

Saoradh is 

• SEARruh  / [SEER-uh ]  (Connact), or
• SAyR ruh  / SAIR-uh  (Munster) , or
• SEE ruu  or [SEER hu] (Ulster) [/is this true? "saortha" is [ SAIRhha ]), 
  
  * the announcer in this video  sounds like he's saying [ SIH-Ruu ], similar to "cereal" (maybe SEEru or SAY rul )?

(Munster seems to be most Irish/Gaelic: see "Saor" at www.teanglann.ie/en/fuaim/saor
; see also "saortha" [sayr ha] (sayrr(t)ha) teanglann.ie/en/fuaim/saortha

Accoribg to Wikitionary, the "IPA"^(key): for these is 

• (Munster) IPA:        /ˈsˠ eː ɾˠ ə /
• (Galway) IPA          /ˈsˠ iː ɾˠ ə  /
• (Mayo) IPA^(key): /  ˈsˠiːɾˠuː/
• (Ulster) IPA^(key): / ˈsˠiːɾˠu/

from "Saoirse Ronan Explains How to Pronounce Her Name"

"so actually is Saoirse [[SEER-sheh ], but it's easier for americans to pronounce it {SUR-sha}."--quote from Saoirse Ronan

[me; but note  SEER-sha is essentially SaUR-shuh with just a slight change is accent!] 

--

"We say seer-sha / ser-sha, Americans tend to say sur-sha"

[note: it's a very subtle "SEER"[SEAR] ... ]]

---

Saoirse is an Irish female given name which became popular in Ireland in the 1920s. ... The word saoirse, meaning 'freedom'

Siobha'n : god is gracious [SHI'van]

=================================

Saoradh = 

    SEER-ruh, SEE'rah

   or SaUR-rah or SaUr-rahv

 or [SEHR RAH] (sarrah)

or SAOR-rah [SAY'orra] = Sa+oradh = almost SAY+orav (orabh) > [= SAY O RA hh]

   ...or, like SAOR in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7Y-BzHYlBs&t=10s ?

---

Saoradh [SEERah] [SEAHrah] [sˠiːɾˠə]

(SEE AHR rah?)

(I prefer my made up pronunciation of  SORahv / SOAR av / Sirav / sierab/ sehrah ]

> IPA : 

  [  e:  ] = [ ay ] as in 'pay'

  [   i:  ]  = [ ee ] as in 'tree', 'sheer' or [ea] is in 'shear', 'mean' 

"... the IPA phonetic symbol /iː/ corresponds to the vowel sound in words like "fleece", "tree" and "seat "..."

(per wikitionary: "[ iː ]   >> example:  [ 'mín '  (irish)] >> [pronounced as in English "mean"]") 

BUT  [ i ] could be just [ ih ], when used as [sihr], pronounced like "cer' in "cereal" .

> therefore 

  [siɾˠə] = SEER rah

  [ˈsˠeːɾˠə]=SAYR ruh

  /ˈsˠiːɾˠəvˠ/ = SEER rev

??

>>  COMBINE TO MAKE sir'rahv / sirrah/ sih rahh

SAOR(adv) (([SIRR/SEE+ the letter "R"(ahr)

 = SEahr] )) 

  versus 

SAOIR(se) [SEER](sha)

* Acccording to YOutube video, the name Saor

pronounced 3 ways in Ireland:

> SEERr (rolled r)

> SEE-R / SEEah (almost silent r: SEE-uh(r)

> odd way: SAH-YA

BUT I THINK THIS IS WRONG! SAYorrah is more likely

becuase SEER is used in "Saorse'[SEERshih]

------

Another website says "SAR'RAH" !!! == [sehrah] !

----

>>> IPA PER WIKITIONARY =

sˠiːɾˠə], == SEER eh  (ə= 'ah' as in 'sofa')

/ˈsˠi ː ɾˠə / = S

DLRAC Adopted by Cultural-Appropriation-Resistance Leaders in response to LGBT!

[Leaked internal directive! This appears to be one of the earliest mentions of "DLRAC" -- apparently was intended to be shared confidentially; I can't find it published anywhere online using web searches!]

Please begin using referring to the "DLRAC+ Community" in all public messaging.

We can only be effective in public change if we have a unified labeling. Clearly the "branding" strategy used to control the language in political, corporate, and social activism has been proven highly effective.

DLRAC (or DLRAC+) is an acronym for self-identified Democratic Liberals, Republicans, Atheists, & Christians, 

It is a term used to replace the bigoted, offensive, demeaning and threatening labels used by Sexual-Identity-culture activists and by society and the media as a whole. It refers to the shared interests and goals (of positive social change, and self-protection) by those who self-identify by those terms.

Together we can overcome the bigotry, hate and imposed directed change of the Sexuality-based cultural imperialists.

Gamefly Shutting Down Video Game Streaming Service (8/2018)

The  culture of 'lifestyle' technology (games, stores, internet, business models) I and my peers enjoyed
continues it's demise ...

 Gamefly ended its streaming games service this year (2018). The webpage announcement reads only

 " Due to the sale of our technology to Electronic Arts earlier this year, GameFly Streaming will no longer be operating after August 31, 2018."

Similarly, the new model of digital download games and the inability to sell used games ((as you no longer own the tech you buy)), suggests that GameStop may soon be the next casualty of the times....

Smoking Radiation?

[Tobacco Smoke as Another Source of Radiation]

Actual cause of the lung cancer ,associated with cigarette smoking, is Radioactivity ??



  Per [Tobacco Smoke | Radiation Protection | US EPA]:

Radioactivity may be one of the key factors in lung cancer among smokers....†.

The tobacco leaves used in making cigarettes contain radioactive material, particularly lead-210 and polonium-210. ...
The radionuclide content of tobacco leaves depends [on fertilizer use]...


"... phosphate fertilizers, favored by the tobacco industry,
contain radium and its decay products (including lead-210 and polonium-210).
When phosphate fertilizer is spread on tobacco fields year after year,
the concentration of lead-210 and polonium-210 in the soil rises... ..."

(more at http://www.epa.gov/radiation/sources/tobacco.html )


...So what about other plants (foods)?

Primorsky, Vladivostok, Irkusk, China, and Japan

Did you realize that Russia interjects itself squarely between China and Japan?


Google maps will tell you that Vladivostok [ Владивостока ] is located in\at the "Region of Primorsky, Russia" *
But that won't be evident looking at their map...

View Larger Map

It seems that this was tranditionally known (to us in the west) as "Primorsky Kray" [pree.mohrrsk'CRY]:
aka. the Primorsky Maritime Territory' .... ... Incidentally, in browsing the map today, I realized I always thought that Russia dipped down towards Japan by way of Kamchatka; but I guess I wasn't remembering my 'Risk' map correctly ;-) (See Kamchatskaya oblast... )
