Ciamar a tha an t-seachdain agad a’ dol gu ruige seo? Bho àm gu àm, tha e a’ còrdadh rinn a bhith a’ toirt sùil air rudan iongantach a tha air tachairt tro eachdraidh. ’S e an t-Iuchar a th’ ann a-nis... a bheil cuimhne agad fhèin air tachartasan sònraichte sam bith a tha air tachairt sa mhìos seo? Lorg sinn fhèin rud no dhà a bha glè inntinneach

How’s this week going so far? From time to time, we enjoy looking at interesting things which have happened throughout history. It’s July now... do you remember any significant events which have happened during this month? We’ve found a couple of interesting things

Eachdraidh an Iuchair | History of July

Haidh a charaid,
Tha sinn an dòchas gu bheil thu gu math! Cha mhòr nach eil an samhradh seachad a-nis. Ciamar a tha thu a’ faireachdainn mu dheidhinn? Tha sinne a’ smaoineachadh gun deach e seachad ann am priob na sùla! Tha mìosan romhainn a-nis de dh’oidhcheannan fada, dorcha. Nach eil e inntinneach a bhith a’ coimhead air speur na h-oidhche? Tha a’ ghealach is na rionnagan a’ coimhead cho faisg, ach a’ faireachdainn cho fada air falbh. Chan eil e an-còmhnaidh furasta bruidhinn air na speuran sa Ghàidhlig, oir chan eil cuid de na faclan tric a’ nochdadh ann an còmhradh làitheil. Mar sin, tha sinn an dòchas gum bi na seantansan seo nan cuideachadh dhut: 
Gealach | Moon – Nach eil a’ ghealach a’ coimhead faisg a-nochd? | Doesn’t the moon look close tonight? 
Reul-chearbach | Comet – Seall, tha reul-chearbach thall an sin! | Look, there’s a comet over there!
Fànas | Outer Space – Nuair a bha mi na b’ òige, bha mi airson siubhal chun fhànais. | When I was younger, I wanted to travel to outer space. 
Reul-bhad | Constellation - Chan eil mi riamh air reul-bhad fhaicinn, ach ’s dòcha gum bi cothrom agam a-nochd. | I’ve never seen a constellation, but I might get the opportunity tonight. 
Na Fir-chlis – The Northern Lights | Fhuair mi dealbh sgoinneil de Na Fir-chlis a-raoir! | I got an excellent photo of the Northern Lights last night!
Rionnag | Star – Cia mheud rionnag a th’ anns a’ chruinne-chè? | How many stars are in the universe?
Planaid – Planet | 'S e Neaptun a' phlanaid as fhaide air falbh bhon ghrèin. | The planet furthest away from the sun is Neptune. 
Slighe Chlann Uisnich | The Milky Way – Tha sinne anns an t-Slighe Chlann Uisnich... am badeigin! | We’re in the Milky Way... somewhere! 
An Talamh | Earth - Tillidh an rocaid dhan Talamh a-màireach. | The rocket will return to Earth tomorrow. 
Gus èisteachd ri na faclan seo is gu leòr a bharrachd, thèid gu LearnGaelic.scot > Reifreans > Fichead Facal is tagh Na Speuran.
Seadh a-nis... a bheil dealbhan shnoga sam bith agadsa de Na Fir-chlis? Ma tha, dh’fhaodadh tu an cur thugainn le post-d no air na meadhanan sòisealta againn! 
Sin e airson seachdain eile. Bho do charaidean aig LearnGaelic, mar sin leat.

Benedictus

Brackish is a site-specific environmental sound installation and live real-time continual broadcast. A single hydrophone placed within a fishing creel (functioning both as protective enclosure and microphone shock mount) records the daily activity of a sea loch adjacent to the port of Lochmaddy on the island of North Uist.

The microphone is strategically located behind the small island of Eilean Casaig at a confluence of edge habitats between the industrial port, connecting marine traffic to the Minch, and the tidal sea lochs which extend into uninhabited natural lands. Among the tidal ebb and flow of currents anthropogenic sounds of seaweed harvesting, ferry traffic, and fishing boats compete with natural sounds of the marine habitat of the bay.
