The locality, which had had several different Irish-language names, was first referred to as Cove ("The Cove of Cork") in 1750. It was renamed Queenstown in 1849 to commemorate a visit by Queen Victoria and so remained until the name Cobh was restored in 1922 with the foundation of the Irish Free State. It was spelt Cobh instead of the original Cove as a way of "gaelicising" an English placename, as many Irish placenames had been anglicised by English settlers.

Language in the human realm is profound in its impact. Thus what does one do with it? Especially if coupled with a deep spiritual "experience". What auditory energy do you emit? Would your speech be squandered on the mundane and selfish? Mindfulness of speech coupled with the aspiration to benefit others, oh the joy and compassion expressed. There are those among us whose mindfulness is unwavering and their speech never parts from the melodies of bodhicitta!

I recently learned about something called competitive birding, in a most fascinating article in the latest issue of the Scientific American magazine. As one of the participants in the contest says, “This isn’t birding. This is war.”
So if you like war, or if you like to shoot birds, try competitive birding instead. Leave your gun at home and pick up a pair of binoculars. Birds didn’t do anything to hurt you -- why would you hurt them? Shoot with a camera instead.
Speaking of not hurting, if you have birds in a cage, please let them go. They belong in the open skies, not in a tiny prison. Thank you. (Think about how you’d feel if you were simply going about your day, on your way to get groceries for your family, and someone captured you and put you behind bars for the rest of your life. Same with the fish.)
A word in the mind is worth two in the book. This week we’ll share with you birds that have become metaphors in the English language. Call them bird words.
Are you into birding? Share your stories with us. Email us at words@wordsmith.org. Even if you are not a birder, write us anyway and tell us about your bird encounters.
Today's word is dovecote (also spelled dovecot). From dove, from Old English dufe + cote (shelter, coop), from Old English cote. Earliest documented use: 1425. A synonym is columbarium.
NOTES:
The word is sometimes used in the idiom “a flutter in the dovecote” meaning “a disturbance in a settled, conservative group”. In Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, the title character, Roman general Caius Marcius (later given the name Coriolanus), has a thing for bird metaphors. He calls allowing plebeians (commoners) to have any power over the patricians (ruling class) as allowing “the crows to peck the eagles”.
When asked where he lived, he replies, “In the city of kites and crows”. Later, he brags “like an eagle in a dove-cote, I flutter’d your Volscians in Corioli” meaning that he destroyed Volscians in Corioli. Corioli was a town in the ancient territory of Volsci in Italy. It was in recognition of his military feat in Corioli that he was given the nickname Coriolanus.

Urmia or (Turkish Language: اورمو, Urmu, Orumiyeh, Urmiye, Urmiya) is a city in Northwestern South Azerbaijan (Iranian Azerbaijan) and the capital of West Azerbaijan Province. The city lies on an altitude of 1,330 m above sea level on the Shahar Chaye river (City River). Urmia is the 10th populated city in iran and 2nd of Azerbaijanian Turks provinces after Tabriz. Urmia is the trade center for a fertile agricultural region where fruit (Specially Apple and Grape) and Tobacco are grown.An important town by the 9th cent. Urmia was seized by the Oghuz Turks (11th cent.), sacked by the Seljuk Turks (1184), and later occupied a number of times by the Ottoman Turks.The name Urmia or Urmu is thought to have come from Sumerian tongue, the earliest known civilization in the world located in southern Mesopotamia. Ur was a principle Sumerian city. Some believe the name is derived from Syriac. Ur, meaning "cradle," and mia, meaning "water". Hence, Urmia, situated by a lake and surrounded by rivers, would be the cradle of water.The population of Urmia is predominantly Azerbaijanian Turks (over 90%), but with Kurdish,Assyrian and Armenian minorities.
We all know this look, right? Our mother, a teacher, someone looked at us like this, and instantly we knew that there was something important that we *didn't* know. And ought to. Is there a word for this? I can't think of one. (I wish I could get pics like this in better focus, but Muruga is just not himself standing still. I need better light ... )
sammi allen(11) gives a speech for a project in ap language, the speech she decided to do was called "perils of indifference" by elie wiesel "I choose perils of indifference because in today's society- especially with teenagers and young adults-with our huge spike in suicide, depression anxiety and other mental illnesses,it is so important for us as a nation, as a species, to wake up and start caring. Apathy is not better than torture,and the perils of indifference is the wake up call we need.
