Re: True Irish Ghost Stories
There are numerous books about Irish Fairies, but this was one of the first to focus on the Irish Ghost. The text visits haunted houses from one end of the island to the other. We learn about garden-variety ghosts as well as poltergeists and Banshees, and find out what to do if a 'Headless Coach' shows up. Seymour solicited the stories from newspaper readers, and many of them are from respectable military, clergymen, and gentry. Seymour also wrote Irish Witchcraft and Demonology. True Irish Ghost Stories is a unique and very entertaining read, particularly for fans of Irish tales, as well as the paranormal investigator.--J.B. Hare, May 6th, 2009.

THREE LIVELY POLTERGEISTS

THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED
THE COMPILERS
p. xi
This book had its origin on this wise. In my Irish Witchcraft and Demonology, published in October 1913, I inserted a couple of famous 17th century ghost stories which described how lawsuits were set on foot at the instigation of most importunate spirits. It then occurred to me that as far as I knew there was no such thing in existence as a book of Irish ghost stories. Books on Irish fairy and folk-lore there were in abundance—some of which could easily be spared—but there was no book of ghosts. And so I determined to supply this sad omission.
In accordance with the immortal recipe for making hare-soup I had first to obtain my ghost stories. Where was I to get them from? For myself I knew none worth publishing, nor had I ever had any strange experiences, while I feared that my friends and acquaintances were in much the
p. xii
same predicament. Suddenly a brilliant thought struck me. I wrote out a letter, stating exactly what I wanted, and what I did not want, and requesting the readers of it either to forward me ghost stories, or else to put me in the way of getting them: this letter was sent to the principal Irish newspapers on October 27, and published on October 29, and following days.
I confess I was a little doubtful as to the result of my experiment, and wondered what response the people of Ireland would make to a letter which might place a considerable amount of trouble on their shoulders. My mind was speedily set at rest. On October 30, the first answers reached me. Within a fortnight I had sufficient material to make a book; within a month I had so much material that I could pick and choose—and more was promised. Further on in this preface I give a list of those persons whose contributions I have made use of, but here I should like to take the opportunity of thanking all those ladies and gentlemen throughout the length and breadth of Ireland, the majority of whom were utter strangers to me, who
p. xiii
went to the trouble of sitting down and writing out page after page of stories. I cannot forget their kindness, and I am only sorry that I could not make use of more of the matter that was sent to me. As one would expect, this material varied in value and extent. Some persons contributed incidents, of little use by themselves, but which worked in as helpful illustrations, while others forwarded budgets of stories, long and short. To sift the mass of matter, and bring the various portions of it into proper sequence, would have been a lengthy and difficult piece of work had I not been ably assisted by Mr. Harry L. Neligan, D.I.; but I leave it as a pleasant task to the Higher Critic to discover what portions of the book were done by him, and what should be attributed to me.
Some of the replies that reached me were sufficiently amusing. One gentleman, who carefully signed himself "Esquire," informed me that he was after "reading a great book of ghost stories, but several letters of mine failed to elicit any subsequent information. Another person offered to sell me ghost stories, while several
p. xiv
proffered tales that had been worked up comically. One lady addressed a card to me as follows:
"The Revd.—
(Name and address lost of the clergyman whose letter appeared lately in Irish Times, re apparitions")
Cappawhite."
As the number of clergy in the above village who deal in ghost stories is strictly limited, the Post Office succeeded in delivering it safely. I wrote at once in reply, and got a story. In a letter bearing the Dublin postmark a correspondent, veiled in anonymity, sent me a religious tract with the curt note, "Re ghost stories, will you please read this." I did so, but still fail to see the sender's point of view. Another person in a neighbouring parish declared that if I were their rector they would forthwith leave my church, and attend service elsewhere. There are many, I fear, who adopt this attitude; but it will soon become out of date.
Some of my readers may cavil at the expression, "True Ghost Stories." For myself I cannot guarantee the genuineness of a single
p. xv
incident in this book—how could I, as none of them are my own personal experience? This at least I can vouch for, that the majority of the stories were sent to me as first or second-hand experiences by ladies and gentlemen whose statement on an ordinary matter of fact would be accepted without question. And further, in order to prove the bona fides of this book, I make the following offer. The original letters and documents are in my custody at Donohil Rectory, and I am perfectly willing to allow any responsible person to examine them, subject to certain restrictions, these latter obviously being that names of people and places must not be divulged, for I regret to say that in very many instances my correspondents have laid this burden upon me. This is to be the more regretted, because the use of blanks, or fictitious initials, makes a story appear much less convincing than if real names had been employed.
Just one word. I can imagine some of my readers (to be numbered by the thousand, I hope) saying to themselves: "Oh! Mr. Seymour has left out some of the best stories. Did he never hear of such-and-such a
p. xvi
haunted house, or place?" Or, "I could relate an experience better than anything he has got." If such there be, may I beg of them to send me on their stories with all imagined speed, as they may be turned to account at some future date.
I beg to return thanks to the following for permission to make use of matter in their publications: Messrs. Sealy, Bryers, and Walker, proprietors of the New Ireland Review; the editor of the Review of Reviews; the editor of the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research; the editor of the journal of the American S.P.R.; the editor of the Occult Review, and Mr. Elliott O'Donnell; Messrs. Longmans, Green and Co., and Mrs. Andrew Lang; the editor of the Wide World Magazine; the representatives of the late Rev. Dr. Craig.
In accordance with the promise made in my letter, I have now much pleasure in giving the names of the ladies and gentle-who have contributed to, or assisted in, the compilation of this book, and as well to assure them that Mr. Neligan and I are deeply grateful to them for their kindness.

Of all species of ghostly phenomena, that commonly known as "haunted houses" appeals most to the ordinary person. There is something very eerie in being shut up within the four walls of a house with a ghost. The poor human being is placed at such a disadvantage. If we know that a gateway, or road, or field has the reputation of being haunted, we can in nearly every case make a detour, and so avoid the unpleasant locality. But the presence of a ghost in a house creates a very different state of affairs. It appears and disappears at its own sweet will, with a total disregard for our feelings: it seems to be as much
part and parcel of the domicile as the staircase or the hall door, and, consequently, nothing short of leaving the house or of pulling it down (both of these solutions are not always practicable) will free us absolutely from the unwelcome presence.
There is also something so natural, and at the same time so unnatural, in seeing a door open when we know that no human hand rests on the knob, or in hearing the sound of footsteps, light or heavy, and feeling that it cannot be attributed to the feet of mortal man or woman. Or perhaps a form appears in a room, standing, sitting, or walking—in fact, situated in its three dimensions apparently as an ordinary being of flesh and blood, until it proves its unearthly nature by vanishing before our astonished eyes. Or perhaps we are asleep in bed. The room is shrouded in darkness, and our recumbent attitude, together with the weight of bed-clothes, hampers our movements and probably makes us more cowardly. A man will meet pain or danger boldly if he be standing upright—occupying that erect position which is his as Lord of Creation;
but his courage does not well so high if he be supine. We are awakened suddenly by the feel that some superhuman Presence is in the room. We are transfixed with terror, we cannot find either the bell-rope or the matches, while we dare not leap out of bed and make a rush for the door lest we should encounter we know not what. In an agony of fear, we feel it moving towards us; it approaches closer, and yet closer, to the bed, and—for what may or may not then happen we must refer our readers to the pages of this book.
But the sceptical reader will say: "This is all very well, but—there are no haunted houses. All these alleged strange happenings are due to a vivid imagination, or else to rats and mice." (The question of deliberate and conscious fraud may be rejected in almost every instance.) This simple solution has been put forward so often that it should infallibly have solved the problem long ago. But will such a reader explain how it is that the noise made by rats and mice can resemble slow, heavy footsteps, or else take the form of a human being seen by several persons; or how our imagination

Birdman Movie Review: The sound of my voice
A couple of Golden Globes already under its belt, Birdman has garnered seven Oscar nominations.
Written by Shalini Langer |
January 31, 2015 3:12:16 am
Keaton as former movie star Riggan Thomas explodes in Birdman.
DIRECTOR: Alejandro G Iñárritu
CAST: Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, Emma Stone, Zach Galifianakis, Andrea Riseborough
What do we talk about when we talk about movie stars? Likely, not Raymond Carver. But that's the beauty of the latest film by director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu that frames Hollywood vs theatre, age vs youth, fame vs memory, and hope vs dream within the author's short story, What Do We Talk About When We Talk About Love, on the meaning of love.
All the action but for a scene or two happens within the confines of a hallowed Broadway theatre, more precisely between its stage, the backstage, the green rooms, the narrow and colourful corridors, the roof, and a small bar round the corner. In long takes, often reminiscent of a bird's keen view, Keaton as former movie star Riggan Thomas explodes within that territory — be it levitating, literally, in his underwear; handling bad actors; tackling his harried producer Jake (Galifianakis, in a role completely unlike his others); juggling his roles as a debut screenplay writer-director and main actor; and, above all, handling criticism, including from a particularly trenchant New York Times's reviewer, that he isn't up to his new role at all. And then there is the voice in his head, of Birdman — the superman character he played in a hit series in the 1990s — that is trying to convince him that he can still be the star who raked in "billions".
It isn't just age or a decision to "mean something" that have brought Riggan away from Hollywood to the theatre though. It is also increasing irrelevance in times where he doesn't have a Facebook or Twitter account and looks down upon bloggers — "it's you who don't exist", judges his daughter, played with adequate youthful scorn and cynicism by Emma Stone.
Riggan has pale, freckled skin, a patchwork of discoloured hair, and that Birdman voice that won't let him sleep. However, his eyes still believe, and his heart won't allow him to stop trying. Even if it is to beg and later put up with the shiny new thing on Broadway, Mike Shiner (Edward Norton), no less. Mike takes his "realism" seriously, to the extent of demanding real gin instead of water in a crucial scene in the Carver play, and insisting on actually doing it on stage in a lovemaking scene. Norton is fabulously cast as the pretentious smooth talker who takes himself as seriously as his persona, and his Mike is the perfect foil to Riggan, who believes he has got a chance to be himself for the first time.
Watts and Riseborough make up the rest of the cast, in both the play and the film.
Inarritu, who has ployed parallel narratives in films such as Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Babel, jettisons those for straight story-telling in a movie where the secondary universe only lives in Riggan's head. A particularly satisfying scene involves Riggan streaking through Times Square dazzled and dazed, hailed and heckled by crowds that only faintly recall him as Birdman. Keaton himself played Batman in two films, a fact that isn't lost on anyone watching Birdman. And the Birdman voice, by Keaton himself, sounds not unlike Batman, especially lately.
Even the string of actors whose names are thrown about in the film — Woody Harrelson, Michael Fassbender, Jeremy Renner, Johnny Depp Jr — all have successful film franchises behind them. There's even a not-so-subtle stab at George Clooney, who has also played Batman, as well as his "damn chin" — with Riggan expressing apprehension that Clooney would overshadow his legacy.
However, no fear, this is among Inarritu's best works and certainly Keaton's. A couple of Golden Globes already under its belt, Birdman has garnered seven Oscar nominations. Keaton is angry, confused, desperate, funny, but never, ever bitter in a role that is easy to dismiss as a damnation of show business but is actually an affirmation of it. In a lesser actor, that could have gone the other way.
There is virtue in ignorance, but sometimes, equally unexpectedly, also in knowing something really well.

How Local Businesses Can Take Advantage Of Their 'Frenemy' Relationship With Amazon
As Amazon's local sales ambitions expand, the e-tailer will need SMBs and stores to augment its fulfillment centers, notes Be Like Amazon author Bryan Eisenberg.
By David Kaplan Jan 12, 2018 1:13PM
As large and small retailers head to the NRF's Big Show this weekend, the question of Amazon as a friend/enemy or "frenemy" will hang over most of the discussions as the industry seeks to find a way to adjust to the e-tailer's hegemony and influence with consumers.
Earlier this week, Amazon touted the benefits to SMBs during 2017. Among the highlights Amazon pointed to was that more than 300,000 U.S.-based small and medium-sized businesses joined the Amazon Marketplace.
The company also said that more than 140,000 SMBs selling on Amazon surpassed $100,000 in annual sales, while Amazon Lending surpassed $3 billion lent to small businesses on Amazon since the program started in 2011.
"More and more small and medium-sized businesses are choosing to join the Amazon Marketplace and sell right alongside Amazon to reach customers around the world. Entrepreneurs and small business owners are succeeding on Amazon – they sell half the products that Amazon customers buy, and more than 140,000 small and medium-sized businesses surpassed $100,000 in sales on Amazon in 2017," said Peter Faricy, VP for Amazon Marketplace. "These businesses are reinvesting in their local communities – creating jobs and supporting local suppliers. We are proud of how the Amazon Marketplace helps empower so many small businesses, not just in the US, but around the world."
Amazon's Gravitational Force On Retail
The growth of e-commerce and the decline of store sales has largely been blamed on the gravitational pull Amazon exerts on the space.
And stats cited by Bryan Eisenberg, co-founder of marketing consultancy BuyerLegends and co-author of Be Like Amazon: Even A Lemonade Stand Can Do It, would seem to suggest that this is not a case of mass paranoia: Amazon captured 89 percent of all online holiday spending in the five-week period beginning on Thanksgiving, according to an analysis of credit- and debit-card transaction data by Earnest Research in New York.
In comparison, Walmart, which purchased Jet .com in 2016 for $3 billion, remained a distant second a 4.4 percent, Eisenberg notes.
Amazon has continued to move aggressively in expanding its promise of near-immediate delivery and physical pick-up options for its online shoppers by rapidly opening up fulfillment centers in major cities. But as Eisenberg suggests, there is a lot that local businesses can do to take advantage of Amazon rather than be crushed by it.
The Instant Pot Model
The first thing retailers need to do is come to terms with the fact that Amazon is determined to reach every city, town, and block with ease over the next few years.
"You can't even say 'Amazon dominates,' because it's beyond that when it comes to retail and retail search," Eisenberg says. "When someone wants a product, they're going to Amazon. It's their choice to be there or not. I think retailers have to be there. Yes, you can keep them as a 'frenemy.' But keep in mind two things."
The first is that when brands are exceptional, and they behave like Amazon, they can grow massively without having to compete with the e-tail giant.
One example Eisenberg offers is the phenomenal success of the Instant Pot.
While Amazon has been adding its own versions of many products sold on its platform, it isn't going to compete with Instant Pot for two reasons, says Eisenberg: Instant Pot is priced fairly and has built a cult-like community around it. The latter is something Amazon would not be inclined or able to do.
As a result of all those factors, Instant Pot thrives in Amazon's world.
Another example Eisenberg points to is Anker, which makes cell phone accessories, which has similarly built its brand through Amazon despite facing white labeled items sold under Amazon's banner. Amazon doesn't slight or mind Anker because it adheres to what Eisenberg says is Amazon's "four pillars":
"They take care of their customers, they get the products to them quickly, they're constantly innovating and creating new products, they price their products fairly, and they sell well," Eisenberg says. "So if you live by Amazon's rules, they leave you alone. But if you're an Energizer or a Duracell that have gauged consumers on batteries, Amazon will create a private-label knock-off and price it to allow it to take over that market."
The Amazon Advantage
That product proposition can also be applied to local stores, Eisenberg adds, though many of the benefits are still a few years off.
"The advantage to local businesses is – and I don't think you're going to see that today — that you will be able to get global reach," Eisenberg says. "Amazon has out-Googled Google by becoming a better product search engine. They're also potentially be competitive in retail services such as plumbers and contractors."
That's a space that Google, Yelp, and Facebook have been aiming to capture as well. And that competition from Amazon will give those local businesses a good deal of leverage, especially as the marketing battle among voice-activated assistants heats.
"We know that Amazon is betting the farm on Alexa and implanting that beyond Echo devices," Eisenberg notes. "Alexa will be more deeply embedded on other people's phones, it will be on watches and wearables, it will be on refrigerators, and most importantly, it will be in cars. It will have an important place in self-driving cars at some point."
In the not-too-distant future scenario Eisenberg paints, a consumer will be traveling in their autonomous vehicle and decide they need a shirt for a conference they're attending next week. They'll tell Alexa to find it. Considering that Alexa knows the person's size, where you like to shop, and has their payment info, the voice activated assistant will have the details in seconds. After scanning listings near the route, Alexa will ask if it should navigate to a selected store.
The store will get the sale and Amazon will be able to take a piece of that advertising business, while taking another piece through its payment system. And because Amazon can't do everything itself, it will be a win-win for retailers, Eisenberg says.
"There are more things that Amazon can offer in terms of services that can't fit into a warehouse or fulfillment center," he says. "It's also more cost efficient to rely on a retailer than on its fulfillment center."
Eisenberg's view is already borne out by at least two local retailers that shared their stories with Amazon.
"Since selling on Amazon, we've been able to grow our business from three to 40 employees, right here in Delray Beach, Florida," said Michael Dudley, managing director of Salon's Choice. "We recently launched on Amazon in the U.K., and are now shipping thousands of orders a day through Fulfillment by Amazon to customers around the world."
"We launched on Amazon two years ago and are now operating in more than seven countries around the world," said Phil Williams, CEO and founder of Coffee Gator. "2017 was our biggest year on Amazon, with sales growing by more than 100 percent year-over-year, and we expect 2018 to be even bigger."
Nevertheless, for those retailers who plan to take their chances in terms of opposing Amazon's local incursions, Euclid Analytics CEO Brent Franson presented his own battle plan that calls for updating co-op data and marketing strategies.
"Building an effective data co-op for retail is challenging – 55 percent of online shoppers start their product searches on Amazon, says BloomReach – but ultimately worth the battle," Franson wrote on GeoMarketing this week. "More choice will force the industry's three major players – Amazon, Facebook, and Google – to improve what they offer to marketers. If the competition is better, then the Big Three runs the very real risk of significant losses. Either way, the consumers – in this case, the marketers – win.
"The right co-op structure will yield better personalization based on actual customer needs and intent. It will earn customer trust by balancing privacy concerns with personalization; for example, the co-op should outline clear rules that ensure obfuscation of certain kinds of data (e.g. PII) before sharing with the pool. Finally, it will prioritize optimized marketing for long-term value. This is about building long-term relationships that reward both the retailer and the consumer; it's not merely about immediate conversions. Each member of the cooperative should believe in, and be working toward, that goal."

Flaithbertach Ua Néill  (né avant 978 mort en 1036) est un roi d' Ailech, un royaume situé dans le nord-ouest de l'Irlande. Il abdique en 1030 et entreprend un  pèlerinage à  Rome, d'où son surnom Flaithbertach an Trostáin (i.e: Flaithbertach du  pèlerinage). À la suite de la mort de son fils Áed en 1033, Flaithbertach abandonne sa retraite et reprend le commandement des Uí Néill du nord. Selon le Baile In Scáil il est même considéré comme un « Rig Érenn co fressabra » (i.e: Haut roi en opposition).

Situation régionale

Flaithbertach, un petit-fils de  Domnall mac Muircheartach, règne sur le  Cenél nEógain   une des familles des  Uí Néill.  Les  Familles Uí Néill du Nord  postérieures, rois de  Tír Eógain et ensuite  comte de Tyrone, descendent  de la lignée de  Flaithbertach une des familles du Cenél nEógain, et leur nom dérive de celui de son arrière-arrière-grand-père  Niall Glúndub. la lignée rivale des  Mac Lochlainn, autre branche du  Cenél nEógain, dont l'importance croitra dans les générations postérieures à celle de  Flaithbertach descend probablement du frère de Niall Glúndub  Domnall mac Áeda

La plus grande partie de la  province d'Ulster, de la rivière Bann à l'est à la rivière Foyle dans l'ouest constitue le domaine du  Cenél nEógain et de ses nombreux vassaux comme l'Airgíalla le plus important. Leur domaine propre  est compris dans l'actuel Comté de  Tyrone, qui porte leur nom s'étend  du  Lough Neagh  au Lough Foyle et vers le nord à Inishowen.

À l'est se trouve le royaume d'Ulster, réduit à guère plus que le moderne Comté de Down et au sud de celui   d'Antrim;  à l'ouest le Tír Conaill  dans l'actuel Comté de  Donegal) est divisé entre les branches d'une autre famille des  Uí Néill, le Cenél Conaill. Et plus au sud se trouvent le  royaume de  Breifne et le  royaume de Mide.

Les rois d'Ailech du  Cenél nEógain  tirent leur nom de  Grianan d'Aileach,  une forteresse de pierre de l'âge du fer qui a servi de site pour l'intronisation des anciens rois. Au   le pouvoir du  Cenél nEógain s'est étendu vers l'est dans les domaines du royaume d'Ulster et de l'Airgíalla, et les rois sont désormais  élus  à Tulach Óg (Tullyhogue Fort dans le comté de Tyrone) et inhumés à  Armagh.

Armagh  n'est pas directement sous le contrôle des rois d'Ailech mais reste sous  leur influence et il est précisé  les souverains y possédaient une maison. Bien que  la Province ecclésiastique d'Armagh ait été divisée lors du  synode de  Kells-Mellifont en 1152,  son autorité sur les églises du nord et du centre de l'Irlande à l'époque de  Flaithbertach était très grande comme le montrent les première limites fixées entre les provinces établies par le  Synode de Ráth Breasail en 1111, lequel  avait divisé l'Irlande entre  Armagh et Cashel dans le comté de Tipperary. Armagh était non seulement la ville de  Saint Patrick mais aussi dans une certaine  mesure celle du  Cenél nEógain.

Avant  la bataille de Clontarf

La date de naissance de  Flaithbertach n'est pas connue avec précision mais son  père Muirchertach est tué en 977 par Amlaíb Cuarán. Une entrée complémentaire  des Annales d'Ulster précise que  Flaithbertach est né cette même année. Sa mère est  Cres Cumal des Uí Maine.  Son grand-père paternel  Domnall ua Néill, Ard ri Erenn,  meurt en  980, et le royaume d' Ailech échoit d'abord à  Fergal mac Domnaill meic Conaing, qui abdique peut-être en 989 et meurt en 1001. Fergal a comme successeur après un interrègne d'une année  l'oncle de  Flaithbertach;  Áed mac Domnaill, qui est réputé être dans sa 29 année lors de sa mort la  de son règne en 1004.

La première mention relative à  Flaithbertach est de  1005 lorsqu'il dirige une expédition contre le  Leth Cathail, une des composantes du royaume d'Ulster dont le roi  Áed mac Tommaltaig, est tué. Flaithbertach pille de nouveau le Leth Cathail en 1007 et tue le successeur d' Áed  Cú Ulad, ce qui détermine la situation prise en  compte lorsqu'en 1005Brian Bóruma vient à  Armagh avec une grande armée et reçoit la soumission de Flaithbertach.

Brian revient en 1006 et de nouveau en 1007, à cette occasion il prend avec lui une partie des otages que  Flaithbertach avait obtenus de l'Ulster, par la force selon les  Annales d'Innisfallen. C'est peut-être à cette époque que  Flaithbertach épouse dans un souci d'apaisement Bé Binn une fille de  Brian dont au moins deux fils sont issus  Áed et Domnall.

Flaithbertach continue à manifester son agressivité envers ses voisins. Il aveugle un roi du  Cenél Conaill puis le met à mort en 1009, il pille ensuite la plaine centrale jusqu'au cours inférieur de la rivière Boyne  plus tard dans l'année.  Cette activité incite Brian Boru à revenir dans le nord en 1010, à recevoir de nouveau la soumission de  Flaithbertach et à prendre des otages du  Cenél nEógain avant de revenir à Kincora.

la Cenél Conaill est envahi  en 1011, cette fois Flaithbertach agit comme allié de  Brian, et son armée accompagne celle des fils de Brian  Domnall et Murchad. Une  seconde expédition menée par Brian lui-même plus tard dans l'année entraine la soumission du  Cenél Conaill. Flaithbertach, cependant revient à ses vieux démons  et attaque de nouveau l'Ulster, prenant  Dún Echdach (Duneight, au sud de  Lisburn) et reçoit la soumission du principal roi d'Ulster  Niall mac Duib Tuinne.  Il attaque de nouveau l'Ulster et le Cenél Conaill  en 1012.

En 1013 Flaithbertach effectue un raid contre le  royaume de Mide,  sur lequel règne l'ancien Ard ri Erenn Mael Seachnaill II Mór. Les deux armées se rencontrent près de  Kells, mais  Máel Sechnaill se retire sans combattre.  Cet incident mineur incite les voisins  et concurrents de   Máel Sechnaill à la considérer comme affaibli et vulnérable et une guerre avec le  Leinster et   Dublin  en découle.  Le conflit se généralise et se termine  par la  bataille de Clontarf le ,  au cours de laquelle Brian Bóruma est tué bien que ses armées alliées à celle de Máel Sechnaill aient écrasé celles du Leinster et de Dublin.

Après la bataille de Clontarf

Après la mort de  Brian, Máel Sechnaill et Flaithbertach entreprennent une série de campagnes qui aboutissent au rétablissement de Mael Seachnaill II Mór comme Ard ri Erenn.  Selon le  Cogad Gáedel re Gallaib, une œuvre de propagande composée à l'époque du petit-fils de Brian, Muirchertach,  en 1002,  peu après que  Brian se soit substitué à Mael Seachnaill II Mór comme Ard ri Erenn, Máel Sechnaill  aurait offert d'abandonner sa souveraineté sur l'Irlande en faveur de Áed mac Domnaill, l'oncle de Flaithbertach et son prédécesseur comme roi Ailech en échange de son aide contre  Brian. Le Cogadh avance que  Áed aurait refusé et qu'aucune aide n'est  parvenue à  Máel Sechnaill  de la part du Cenél nEógain et du nord de l'Irlande mais seulement du Connacht.  On ignore pourquoi  Flaithbertach accorde à  Máel Sechnaill  l'appui que son oncle lui avait refusé.

Mael Seachnaill II Mór meurt en 1022. Flaithbertach entreprend une campagne dans le Mide en 1025 et reçoit la soumission du royaume de Dublin, mais Donnchad mac Briain  fait de même en 1026, et Flaithbertach également la même année. Le Dublin semble avoir été également une proie tentante pour  Niall mac Eochada, le roi d'Ulster, qui effectue aussi un raid en 1026.  Cette même année l'Ulster est pillée et le  Cenél Conaill l'année suivante.

Flaithbertach avait à cette époque près de 50 ans. Son fils  Domnall meurt en 1027 et en 1030 il part en pèlerinage à Rome d'où il revient en  1031.  C'est à cette époque qu'il reçoit le surnom de Flaithbertach an Trostáin, c'est-à-dire  Flaithbertach du Pèlerinage (textuellement du personnel du pèlerin) . Cette même année Niall mac Eochada  lance une expédition contre Telach Óg tandis que le fils de Flaithbertach Aed entreprend un raid de représailles. En 1031 Flaithbertach et Aed attaquent  la partie sud de Cénel Conaill .

À cette époque  Flaithbertach abdique et la succession comme roi d' Ailech est assurée par Áed, mais ce dernier meurt dès le . Flaithbertach  sort de sa retraite et redevient roi  une nouvelle fois  les Annales d'Innisfallen  relèvent : "Flaithbertach Ua Néill prend Ailech de nouveau et le nord de l'Irlande se soumet à lui en raison de son ancienneté."

Cependant il se peut que ce ne soit pas la mort d'Aed qui soit la cause du rétablissement de Flaithbertach et les Annales d'Innisfallen composées dans le sud de l'Irlande place cet événement après  la mort de  Domnall Ua Maíl Doraid du Cenél Conaill<ref>Duffy, "Flaithbertach"; Annales d'Ulster, AU 1033.10; Annales d' Innisfallen, AI 1034.8. En rapport avec la mort de Ua Maíl Doraid, Byrne, "Ireland and her neighbours", .</ref>. Le second règne de Flaithbertach ne laisse aucune trace . Il meurt en  1036 comme roi d'Ailech.

Flaithbertach n'est pas inclus dans les listes modernes d'Ard ri Erenn.

Néanmoins plusieurs auteurs médiévaux l'identifient avec un roi inclus dans la liste d'Adr ri Erenn Baile In Scáil, et il est peut-être évoqué dans le texte en vers sur l'histoire  des rois d'Irlande et d'Écosse composé dans un style prophétique  nommé  la Prophétie de Berchán.

Ces deux sources sont problématiques et ne sont généralement pas considérées comme des listes de roi d'Irlande, contrairement au très antérieur  Baile Chuinn Chétchathaig, sur lequel  elles ont pris modèle. Sans doute plus  concluant est le fait que le poème historique  du contemporain de Flaithbertach Flann Mainistrech et les compilateurs pro-Uí Néill de la chronique d'Armagh ne le reconnaissent par comme Ard ri Erenn.

 Postérité
À la suite de la mort de  Flaithbertach les Ua Néill sont exclus pour plusieurs générations de la royauté d' Ailech par les Mac Lochlainn et les autres branches familiales. En 1167 Áed in Macáem Tóinlesc reçoit finalement une partie du royaume lorsque  Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair divise le Cenél nEógain entre les Mac Lochlainn et les Ua Néill .

Les entrées des Annales d'Ulster mentionnent le nom de plusieurs fils de Flaithbertach.

 Áed mac Flaithbertaig Ua Néill ou Áed Athlaman, roi d'Ailech mort en 1033.
 Domnhall mort en 1027
 Muiredach tué en 1039

Crank's News: Survey says you will not read this
Plus: A leave letter that made it to the news pages
New Delhi: In some happy news for journalists, it has been found that if on working days people don't have much time for reading newspapers, then on public holidays and weekends, they have a lot more time, which they cannot be bothered to waste by reading.
'The net result is newspapers can continue with the kind of s%@# they are publishing now because no one, under any circumstance, reads anything,' a survey undertaken by the newspaper industry has revealed.
The survey, quoting a respondent, said that even if newspapers published the leave letters of reporters and correspondents people wouldn't notice. But when asked how can he be sure that the newspapers have not done that already, the respondent sheepishly agreed that it was indeed possible that such a thing could have happened before, especially if you are talking of 'Editorials' and 'Open-Ed' pieces.
As an aside it should be pointed out that 'Editorial pages' are those sections in a publication that human gaze seldom falls on. In the newspaper industry, those who write the editorials are among the highest paid. Why pay top money to something that is not read at all? Well, those in the newspaper business have never asked this question, but still wonder why the industry is in the doldrums (By logical reckoning, the person in charge of TV and cinema listings pages has to be paid the highest).
Coming back to the survey, it further said that it is a fact that the circulation figures of weekend and holiday editions of newspapers are higher than they are on normal days. 'But more circulation merely means that there are officially more people not reading them. And more pages means there is more choice for people to ignore,' the survey added.
One person, interviewed as part of the nationwide survey, was quoted as saying: 'The newspaper industry must take the cue from the television news channels, which on holidays have become full-fledged music and cookery show channels.'
He added: 'I love them. One, you finally have something to actually watch on news channels. Two, it takes us back to the high days of television in India. I mean, to the days when Chitrahar ruled the roost.'
Going by current trends, if the Prime Minister or the President were assassinated on a weekend, news channels will break the news only on Monday morning, obviously loath to cut that three-hour show on the songs and tunes of Himmesh Reshmaiya, titled: The Man Who Has A Nose For Music. And the one on Bappi Lahiri: Worth The Gold In His Weight. And the one Pankaj Mullick: A Singer We Ourselves Don't Know Much About But Are Featuring Him Since We Have Caught Hold Of Visuals Of Some Of His Songs.
But, to be fair to the news channels, there is nothing wrong in them having become full-fledged music channels and started beaming music and songs during the weekends. For, it's nearly five year since the designated music channels like M-TV and V-Channel aired any.
Meanwhile, Crank's News has scooped a leave letter that actually got published in one of the newspapers.
Dear whichever colleague is reading this,
I understand that I should have addressed this letter to the boss. But, you know, when it comes to weekends, he is the one not seen in the office more than any of us.
I will not be making it to the office today and tomorrow. So don't wait for my piece. Ideally, a large picture of Katerina Kaif in a spandex outfit two sizes smaller than the one that her body actually requires would go well in the space allotted to me. But we did that last week. We cannot cheat our discerning readers. Opt for Deepika Padukone in a mini-skirt this time. But hey, this is important: Don't google for the images. Many of them are Photoshopped ones. (Pssst: If you want to see any of those photos, it's stored in the file 'Editorial' so that no one will open it).
I understand that I could have conveyed my absence over phone itself. But by sending at least this letter I have given you something to fill the pages with. Or else, you will have to make do with the speech of the Prime Minister at the United Nations. For the record, it was the first time in the history of the world body that total peace was ensured at its headquarters with everyone around totally asleep thanks to the speech.
By the way, why are you in the office on a weekend? Did your girl friend ditch you? OK, I understand how you must be feeling. Luckily for you this weekend CNN-IBN is breaking news with the 'bewafa' songs of K L Saigal: Broken Heart Through A Broken Nose.
One of your many colleagues not in the office now

Fetilisers contain nutrients which can be 'macronutrients' – because these are needed in greater quantities – such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sulphur and magnesium or 'micronutrients' such as zinc, copper, iron, boron, and molybdenum because they are needed in smaller quantities.
Marking, tracking and batch coding the bagged or packed product in this production environment requires well built/durable printing equipment and label materials.
Legislation in the animal feed industry requires that producers clearly mark all bags with identifiers containing information regarding ingredients including antibiotics or any additives.
These labels are often sewn onto bags in dusty Silo environments and must withstand weather and transportation conditions.
Traceability of fruit is not only legislated but also imperative for the marketing and export of fresh produce, to track the product from origin or grower to final distribution to supermarkets globally creating unique challenges in packing houses. Speed and reliability of labeling is essential.
Growers of nursery plants need identifiers to market and sell plants through retail outlets and provide traceable information of origin and planting instructions. Tags and labels need to adhere and remain intact through the entire supply chain.
Forestry seedlings need to be identified and tracked for growth and diseases and need to withstand weather conditions over long periods of time. Labels with the producer's logo's are available for flowers, ground covers, herbs and vegetables.
Large labels with perforated sections for warehouse and delivery stock control are needed to identify pallets of cut timber.
When the timber is used for furniture, flooring or cabinet manufacturing, barcodes follow the trail. As boards are cut into components and assembled into finished products, traceability of workmanship, pricing, care information or shipping information is needed.
Duratag's log tags are made of a cross woven synthetic plastic material printed in various colours, and stapled in the forest to the cut logs. These labels are numerically sequenced and barcoded. Tags are UV proof, waterproof, tear resistant, solvent resistant and designed to survive in the harsh, rugged environment of a forest.
Duratag also produces self tying tags, plain or printed full colour, made of Duratag/Tyvek and ideal for thermal and dot matrix printers. The tags can also be written on with permanent pens and BH pencils.
Duratag labels are ideal for harsh conditions, difficult silo environments and traceability.

Look up toward the stars this month, and you just might spot the brightest comet to grace Northern Hemisphere skies in decades. In July 2020, comet NEOWISE (short for C/2020 F3 NEOWISE) has thrilled skywatchers in North America, in Europe, and in space. If you don't spot the comet this time around, you won't get another chance. It has a long, elliptical orbit, so it will be approximately 6,800 years before NEOWISE returns to the inner parts of the solar system.
The photo above and the time-lapse video below show NEOWISE as viewed from the International Space Station (ISS) on July 5, 2020. An astronaut shot more than 340 photos as the comet rose above the sunlit limb of Earth while the ISS passed over Uzbekistan and central Asia.
Comet Neowise has a nucleus measuring roughly 5 kilometers (3 miles) in diameter, and its dust and ion tails stretch hundreds of thousands to millions of kilometers while pointing away from the Sun. The icy visitor was discovered on March 27, 2020, by NASA's Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) spacecraft as the comet was headed toward the Sun. The comet made its closest approach to the Sun on July 3, and then turned back toward the outer solar system.
Comets are made of frozen leftovers from the formation of the solar system roughly 4.6 billion years ago. The masses of dust, rock, and ice heat up when approaching the Sun; as they get closer, they spew gases and dust into a glowing head and tail. Satellite data indicate the NEOWISE has a dust tail and possibly two ionized gas tails. The comet is made visible by sunlight reflecting off of its gas emissions and dust tail.
"It's quite rare for a comet to be bright enough that we can see it with the naked eye or even just with binoculars," said Emily Kramer, a co-investigator of the NEOWISE satellite, in a NASA Science Live webcast. "The last time we had a comet this bright was Hale-Bopp back in 1995-1996."
The photo above shows the comet (bottom-right) on July 14, 2020, against the backdrop of a green aurora in western Manitoba, Canada. The bright streak at the top is a meteor. The purple, ribbon-like structure is an aurora-like structure called STEVE (short for Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement), a phenomenon that was recently discovered with help from citizen scientists. Donna Lach, the photographer and an avid participant in the Aurorasaurus project, observed the scene for three hours and said the comet even out-shined the brilliant aurora at times.
NEOWISE is expected to make its closest approach to Earth on July 22, passing at a harmless distance of 103 million kilometers (64 million miles). From mid-July onward, viewers can spot the comet after sunset, below the Big Dipper in the northwest sky. For best viewing, make sure to find a spot away from city lights and with a clear view of the sky. While you may be able to see it with your naked eye, you might want to bring binoculars or a small telescope.

Here's what Facebook wants your VR home office to look like
An augmented reality demonstration of the home office of the future
With millions of people temporarily working from home at the moment, Facebook has shown off what it believes could be the future of the home office.
Using augmented reality technology, a brief demonstration published on Twitter this week demonstrates how multiple virtual computer displays could be arranged in a compact home working space.

Instead of struggling with a small laptop display, or filling the kitchen table with a couple of bulky monitors liberated from the office before coronavirus lockdown, augmented reality allows for a pair of displays to float in thin air.
The footage was posted to Twitter by Andrew Bosworth, Facebook's head of augmented and virtual reality. Using so-called Passthrough technology, the workers can see their real-life environment, including their desk, keyboard and mouse, but also see virtual computer displays.
These can be manipulated with hand gestures, moving them around and making them larger or smaller. Although just eight second long, the demonstration gives a good look at what a virtual, AR-powered home office could look like.
Bosworth said: "As we think through supercharging remote work and productivity, we've been working on mixed reality concepts that builds [sic] on existing technologies like Passthrough to allow people to switch between real and virtual worlds."

He said in a followup tweet: "This is real footage using prototype headsets. We're always experimenting with future concepts using different hardware configurations as part of our proof-of experience process." Bosworth also confirmed the footage was created using the Oculus Rift VR headset, which is produced by Facebook.
Facebook explained the concept further in a blog post. "We envision a dynamic virtual work environment anchored by genuine social presence. Next-generation devices would give people infinite workspaces with configurable virtual screens, whiteboards, and other visionary tools. You could work alone or collaborate in a persistent meeting room with remote coworkers like you were all sharing the same physical space, and with all the nuance of in-person conversation."
This demonstration combines virtual reality and augmented reality, in what's known as mixed reality. That way, the outward-facing cameras of the Rift give you a view of your keyboard and mouse (and your general surroundings), alongside the virtual computer displays.
Facebook describes creating virtual workplaces as "one of our greatest goals," adding: "We have taken significant steps toward this goal with new experiences built on today's technologies." Facebook sees a future "in which traveling for work is optional and a person's career is dictated by his or her choices – not geography."
