Ireland: geography and landscape
Ireland is an island nation on the westernmost edge of
Europe. It is the continent's second largest island (after
Great Britain). The Republic of Ireland occupies 80
percent of this landmass, while a large chunk of land in
the north, called Northern Ireland, is part of the United
Kingdom. All together, the island of Ireland is made up of
32 counties.
Ireland is known for its wide expanses of lush, green
fields − so much so, that its nickname is the Emerald Isle.
But there are also large areas of rugged, rocky
landscape, too. About 15,000 years ago, Ireland was
completely covered by thick glaciers. The movement of
these giant sheets of ice stripped the soil, leaving huge
tracts of flat, limestone ground.
The midlands and west coast of Ireland are dotted with
damp peat bogs, the soggy remains of dried-up ancient
lakes left by the glaciers. Ireland's highlands rise mainly
in the southwest, often ending at sheer cliffs that plunge
thousands of feet into the Atlantic Ocean.
Ireland's wildlife and nature
The Irish have a great affection for nature and rural life. The country's first coins even featured pictures of animals. Low levels of development and pollution in Ireland have left most of the nation's open spaces relatively undisturbed.
Did you know that there are no wild snakes in Ireland?
The sea has stopped many animals common on
mainland Europe from reaching the island. There are also
only two wild mouse species (the wood mouse and house
mouse), one type of lizard (the common lizard) and just
three kinds of amphibians (the natterjack toad, smooth
newt and common frog).
Irish wildlife is protected by government conservation programs. To preserve natural habitat, the governmenthas established six national parks and hundreds of national heritage areas throughout the country. Great news!
Irish history
Archaeologists think the first people to settle in Ireland arrived around 6000 B.C. By 3500 B.C., settlers were using stone tools to clear farmlands. Around 700 B.C., a diverse and technologically advanced culture from central Europe, called the Celts, began to settle on the island. They would thrive there for nearly 2,000 years.
n the ninth century A.D., Viking invaders began raids into Ireland. They eventually established settlements that later became some of the country's main cities, including the capital, Dublin. These aggressive arrivals fought with the Celts often for 200 years until a battle in 1014, known as the Battle of Clontarf, united the country. Peace broke down quickly though and Ireland was divided into many kingdoms.
In 1170, Norman Vikings who had taken control of
England invaded Ireland and made it an English territory.
In the early 1600s, England's official religion became
Protestant, while most Irish remained Roman Catholic.
This would create tensions that would eventually lead to
revolution and Ireland's independence.?
the 1820s, British laws unfair to Catholics had sparked a mass movement for Irish sovereignty. In 1829, many of those laws were overturned, but Ireland still wanted freedom. In 1922, after violent uprisings, the Irish Free State was created within the British Empire.
In 1948, most of Ireland became an independent country,
while six mainly Protestant counties in the northeast
remained a British territory.
Irish people and culture
Ireland is a nation of storytellers. The tradition dates back to Celtic bards, who would record and recite the country's history. Many famed writers come from Ireland, including four winners of the Nobel Prize for literature. The Irish also excel in sports, music and dancing!
Irish government and economy
The government of Ireland consists of an elected parliament, which makes the laws, and a president, who is head of state. The head of the government is the Taoiseach (pronounced tee-shuck), which means "chief." The Taoiseach is the prime minister, and leader of the political party with the most parliament members.?
For most of its history, Ireland's economy has been based on farming and agriculture. But beginning in the late 1950s, government efforts to attract business turned the country from one of Europe's poorest nations to its second wealthiest. The amazing turnaround and economic boom in the mid 1990s and early 2000s earned Ireland the nickname the "Celtic Tiger."
During the global financial crisis of 2008, Ireland entered a recession and the country experienced serious financial problems. But in the past few years Ireland's economy has started to recover and is once again on the rise.

Educating future technology engineers
While much of the world's wireless communications technologies, such as cell phones, run on 5G mobile networks, engineers already have their eyes on developing future-generation networks. One of these engineers is Yanchao Zhang, a professor of electrical engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University.
Zhang runs the DOD Center of Excellence in Future
Generation Wireless Technology, or FutureG Center of
Excellence. Led by ASU and funded by the U.S.
Department of Defense (DOD), the center includes
collaborators from the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities
Development Command Army Research Laboratory, the
U.S. DOD and The Ohio State University.
The FutureG Center of Excellence aims to advance
mobile network technology for wireless communications
that are more secure, faster and more reliable. Artificial
intelligence, or AI, and machine learning are also up for
potential inclusion.
The center also has outreach and workforce
development initiatives to increase the number of workers
in the wireless communications engineering field. As part
of this initiative, the center hosted a five-day FutureG
Summer Research Camp on ASU's Tempe campus in
May that is planned yearly.
The inaugural camp hosted 25 undergraduate students from the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering and the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, both part of the Fulton Schools. The participants learned about a variety of engineering disciplines related to electronics, including cybersecurity, signal processing, augmented and virtual reality, or AR and VR.
To choose the 25 students, Zhang and his colleagues in the FutureG Center of Excellence — Antonia Papandreou-Suppappola and Chaitali Chakrabarti, both Fulton Schools professors of electrical engineering — selected from 78 applicants.
"I was thrilled to see so many motivated, highly qualified young minds interested in cutting-edge research topics," he says. "Notably, half of the participants were women and underrepresented minority students, who were selected based on the same criteria as all applicants."
In line with the Fulton Schools value of building a
foundation for all to be successful, students participated
in sessions each day featuring lectures and
demonstrations from experts in the topic areas. The
presenters beyond Zhang included a variety of Fulton
Schools electrical and computer engineering and computer science faculty members and external FutureG
Center of Excellence collaborators.
"The goal of this summer camp is to expose highly qualified Fulton Schools undergraduate students to the latest topics and opportunities in the future generation wireless technology field and within the FutureG Center of Excellence," Zhang says. "We aim to motivate their academic and research interests in the future wireless technology area, ultimately contributing to the U.S. workforce in this field."
Among the student participants inspired to further research future wireless communications technology is Diego Quintero, a Fulton Schools undergraduate student majoring in electrical engineering who just completed his sophomore year.
Before the program, Quintero was only considering studying electrical engineering through the Fulton Schools accelerated master's degree program, which enables students to complete graduate coursework while completing their bachelor's degree, saving them time. Now he's planning to apply to the program in the 2024− 25 academic year.
Quintero says the FutureG summer camp helped him understand how the engineering skills he learned in the classroom are applied to technology development.
"Learning about such fascinating advancements in the thriving tech industry has strengthened my ideologies and passion for pursuing a career in this field," he says. "There are so many interesting careers and research opportunities. I believe it's a great way to learn more about specific roles in engineering."
For Mounia Bazzi, an undergraduate electrical engineering student who just completed the first year of her program, the FutureG summer camp helped her build on principles she learned while exploring engineering specializations. While Bazzi initially learned about using the MATLAB programming software in her FSE 100: Introduction to Engineering class, she explored MATLAB's signal processing tools in a session led by Papandreou-Suppappola.
Bazzi found that hearing from graduate students who are working with session presenters was especially helpful in learning about research conducted at ASU. The presentations inspired her interest to pursue her own research, and she contacted Guoliang Xue, a Fulton Schools professor of computer science and engineering involved in the camp, to ask if she could work under him in fall 2024.
Bazzi says her favorite part of the experience was the final day of the camp, which took place at ASU's Media and Immersive eXperience Center, or MIX Center.
"The most fun part of the camp was experiencing AR and VR systems with Dr. Robert LiKamWa," Bazzi says. "After going through different VR immersive narratives, we formed groups and used Dreamscape to build our own VR world that we then got to experience."
The session led by LiKamWa, a Fulton Schools associate
professor of electrical engineering with a joint appointment in ASU's School of Arts, Media and Engineering, was also Shannen Aganon's favorite part of the camp.
"Exploring and developing VR experiences was both
exciting and educational," says Aganon, a rising senior
majoring in computer science. "It is definitely interesting
to see how immersive technology can transform so
much."
During the camp, Aganon aimed to learn more about different engineering fields within electrical engineering.
"Attending this camp session broadened my appreciation
of how different engineering disciplines interconnect and
definitely allowed me to reach my goal," she says.
Aganon says the camp confirmed her passion for engineering through the variety offered within the field and the hands-on collaborative activities. She also enjoyed the networking, new friendships and skills the camp taught her
"If you would like a unique way to gain hands-on
experience, this camp offers invaluable opportunities,"
Aganon says.

in the wireless communications engineering field. As part
of this initiative, the center hosted a five-day FutureG
Summer Research Camp on ASU's Tempe campus in
May that is planned yearly.
The inaugural camp hosted 25 undergraduate students from the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering and the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, both part of the Fulton Schools. The participants learned about a variety of engineering disciplines related to electronics, including cybersecurity, signal processing, augmented and virtual reality, or AR and VR.
To choose the 25 students, Zhang and his colleagues in the FutureG Center of Excellence — Antonia Papandreou-Suppappola and Chaitali Chakrabarti, both Fulton Schools professors of electrical engineering — selected from 78 applicants.
"I was thrilled to see so many motivated, highly qualified young minds interested in cutting-edge research topics," he says. "Notably, half of the participants were women and underrepresented minority students, who were selected based on the same criteria as all applicants."
In line with the Fulton Schools value of building a
foundation for all to be successful, students participated
in sessions each day featuring lectures and
demonstrations from experts in the topic areas. The
presenters beyond Zhang included a variety of Fulton
Schools electrical and computer engineering and computer science faculty members and external FutureG
Center of Excellence collaborators.
"The goal of this summer camp is to expose highly qualified Fulton Schools undergraduate students to the latest topics and opportunities in the future generation wireless technology field and within the FutureG Center of Excellence," Zhang says. "We aim to motivate their academic and research interests in the future wireless technology area, ultimately contributing to the U.S. workforce in this field."
Among the student participants inspired to further research future wireless communications technology is Diego Quintero, a Fulton Schools undergraduate student majoring in electrical engineering who just completed his sophomore year.
Before the program, Quintero was only considering studying electrical engineering through the Fulton Schools accelerated master's degree program, which enables students to complete graduate coursework while completing their bachelor's degree, saving them time. Now he's planning to apply to the program in the 2024− 25 academic year.
Quintero says the FutureG summer camp helped him understand how the engineering skills he learned in the classroom are applied to technology development.
"Learning about such fascinating advancements in the thriving tech industry has strengthened my ideologies and passion for pursuing a career in this field," he says. "There are so many interesting careers and research opportunities. I believe it's a great way to learn more about specific roles in engineering."
For Mounia Bazzi, an undergraduate electrical engineering student who just completed the first year of her program, the FutureG summer camp helped her build on principles she learned while exploring engineering specializations. While Bazzi initially learned about using the MATLAB programming software in her FSE 100: Introduction to Engineering class, she explored MATLAB's signal processing tools in a session led by Papandreou-Suppappola.
Bazzi found that hearing from graduate students who are working with session presenters was especially helpful in learning about research conducted at ASU. The presentations inspired her interest to pursue her own research, and she contacted Guoliang Xue, a Fulton Schools professor of computer science and engineering involved in the camp, to ask if she could work under him in fall 2024.
Bazzi says her favorite part of the experience was the final day of the camp, which took place at ASU's Media and Immersive eXperience Center, or MIX Center.
"The most fun part of the camp was experiencing AR and VR systems with Dr. Robert LiKamWa," Bazzi says. "After going through different VR immersive narratives, we formed groups and used Dreamscape to build our own VR world that we then got to experience."
The session led by LiKamWa, a Fulton Schools associate
professor of electrical engineering with a joint appointment in ASU's School of Arts, Media and Engineering, was also Shannen Aganon's favorite part of the camp.
"Exploring and developing VR experiences was both
exciting and educational," says Aganon, a rising senior
majoring in computer science. "It is definitely interesting
to see how immersive technology can transform so
much."
During the camp, Aganon aimed to learn more about different engineering fields within electrical engineering.
"Attending this camp session broadened my appreciation
of how different engineering disciplines interconnect and
definitely allowed me to reach my goal," she says.
Aganon says the camp confirmed her passion for engineering through the variety offered within the field and the hands-on collaborative activities. She also enjoyed the networking, new friendships and skills the camp taught her
"If you would like a unique way to gain hands-on
experience, this camp offers invaluable opportunities,"
Aganon says.

Educating future technology engineers
While much of the world's wireless communications technologies, such as cell phones, run on 5G mobile networks, engineers already have their eyes on developing future-generation networks. One of these engineers is Yanchao Zhang, a professor of electrical engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University.
Zhang runs the DOD Center of Excellence in Future
Generation Wireless Technology, or FutureG Center of
Excellence. Led by ASU and funded by the U.S.
Department of Defense (DOD), the center includes
collaborators from the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities
Development Command Army Research Laboratory, the
U.S. DOD and The Ohio State University.
The FutureG Center of Excellence aims to advance
mobile network technology for wireless communications
that are more secure, faster and more reliable. Artificial
intelligence, or AI, and machine learning are also up for
potential inclusion.
The center also has outreach and workforce
development initiatives to increase the number of workers
in the wireless communications engineering field. As part

THANKSGIVING FOOD REVEALS A LOT ABOUT THE COUNTRY
What was on the table at the first Thanksgiving?
Much of the way that Americans remember the first Thanksgiving in its elementary school presentation is a myth. There were complex relationships among the British colonists and the Wampanoag Indigenous people they encountered, and later fought against, in what is today southeast Massachusetts. The idea of a huge breast-forward turkey and apple pie on those original tables is also a myth.
There are two primary-source historical records that give us a clue as to what was part of the 1621 feast. They suggest that the feast likely consisted of wild turkey and other fowl, venison, cod, bass, and corn. These are foods that would have been indigenous to the Americas, and the Northeast in particular, before the so-called Columbian Exchange that promoted cross-fertilization between the Americas on the one hand and Europe, Asia, and Africa on the other.
Apple pie, for example, wouldn't have been there because apples' botanical origin is in central Asia. They had barely been brought to the Americas by the time of the 1621 feast.
How did Thanksgiving evolve into the holiday it is today?
After that first Thanksgiving, the event receded from memory for two centuries. Then, in the early 1800s, some shaky historical evidence of that 17th century meal was unearthed. Amid a lot of tension over slavery and immigration, some leaders sought to elevate the bit of Colonial history as a unifying project that could bring a divided nation together. From there, the influence of home economics, advertising, industrial food production, animal science, factory farm breeding, and other transformations have made the Thanksgiving meal into one of abundance, standardization, and shortcut home cooking.
Sarah Josepha Hale, the editor of a very popular women's magazine called Godey's Lady's Book, wanted to create a Thanksgiving celebration as a project of national unity. For many years, she petitioned sitting presidents to make Thanksgiving a national holiday. She finally succeeded with Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, when he passed the Thanksgiving Proclamation in October 1863.
Lincoln doesn't actually reference the 1621 event at all, but he suggested that the Thanksgiving holiday was about national unity in the midst of the Civil War—a project I think we can all get behind.
Why are foods such as turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie Thanksgiving dinner staples?
Godey's Lady's Book was a major platform for Hale's advocacy on behalf of Thanksgiving, and the magazine published recipes and suggestions for ways readers could celebrate the holiday, even before it was official. Many of the Thanksgiving foods recommended in the magazine were those that have become very popular: roast turkey, herbed dressing, creamed onions, mashed potatoes.
American food tastes became more standardized around the turn of the 20th century with the rise of the field of home economics. Fannie Farmer's Boston Cooking School was a leading precursor of the movement. A November 1908 issue of the Boston Cooking-School Magazine, for example, featured dishes ideal for Thanksgiving, such as roast chickens, a garnish of fresh cranberries on the stem, and mashed potatoes.
Some popular foods, like pumpkins and cranberries, do
have some links to Indigenous foods with botanical
origins in the Americas. They became much more
available due to the rise of companies that produced and
processed these products.
Why is food such an important part of Thanksgiving?
First, at least in much of the US, it's one of the last fall
holidays before winter begins. We acknowledge the
fleeting harvest and the dark days to come. Even in a
modern society where food is plentiful, it harkens back to
the period in all of the preceding human history when
winter was a time of scarce resources and often of
hunger. So filling up with good food with what remained
from the end-of-summer and fall harvests was a way to
celebrate.
Thanksgiving is one of the few remaining occasions on which many people cook meals at home—even if they're often relying on mixes and packaged ingredients. The need to coordinate oven schedules, to give real thought to thawing times, to prep ingredients in advance, to devote significant time to cooking—this is all the kind of labor, especially women's labor, that had long been the mainstay of the American kitchen. In this way, food as part of Thanksgiving connects us back to the full spectrum of experience around cooking.

From the text, it can be inferred that the modern emphasis on convenience in Thanksgiving cooking is disconnected from the traditional labor-intensive practices of the past.
