水晶是愛爾蘭的國寶，幾乎大部分對外饋贈的禮物和比賽的獎品都是水晶，而又以Waterford招牌最聞名。
但近年愛爾蘭經濟不景，這門手工藝需要熟練技工，年輕一輩又怕辛苦不肯入行，最馳名的Waterford工廠，在兩年前關閉，只餘下部分製造較大物件，小型飾物和擺設，設計仍在愛爾蘭，製造則大部分在東歐捷克或斯洛伐克等工資較平的國家。
不過國粹始終是國粹，部分失業的熟練技工，則自設小工廠，繼續以個體戶形式生產。雖然用不上Waterford的品牌，卻用地區名字如Killarney、Kinsale等。這些地區名牌，打磨及設計不遜當年Waterford，也有在公司上架，價錢與Waterford差不多，始終愛爾蘭人工貴過東歐。
我在愛爾蘭時去過疊柏尼及Kinsale，也參觀過小工廠，當地用家庭式生意去生產，務求將這門手藝一代接一代該傳下去。
You are absolutely correct. By supporting a lot (as much as possible)
One can ascertain that one will achieve some kind of relative response depending on how co incidental the responsive data is to the attention. If the optimal supportive motivation is relative to the foundation (wether valid or not) a supportive return will follow.
Accuracy is the issue. This is an hypothetical deduction (not quite as comprehensive as educational requirements are about here in North America) but by any of the individuals motive intelligence. Linguistics and vocabulary play the most important part of communication. Gaps of data in verbal communication only provide confusion.
To express anything at all one must work untill one can say what one means in its entirety otherwise one will express a peer groups distrust and desire to avoid the issue. The bottom line is to study practical, basic, fundemental, primary, ground level technicalities of domestic level to know for sure one is known for sure and this aspect goes far and beyond the experience of the
marriage relationship which is considered by most the most complete education for the poor. From your good friend Bruce K. Paxton
