Comparing & Contrasting Pocket and Pinterest 

# data[].attributes.body
Pinterest and Pocket are two online social bookmarking sites and apps. Pinterest is a widely known app that many around the world use day to day for inspiration. Pinterest allows you to get inspiration on anything you can think of such as hair, home, travel, food, fashion, cars, pet names, almost literally anything. A feature widely used on Pinterest is the option to create boards. This involves essentially ‘pinning’ a post you like and adding it to a board. This is a useful tool as it allows you to go back and look on things and allows users to be creative and feel inspired. Alongside this, Pinterest is interactive, users may like and comment on things, giving them the opportunity to be more inspired.

Similarly, Pocket is also a social bookmarking site which allows users to be inspired about things they are passionate about or simply interested in. Pocket allows users to also read articles and posts, like blogs. A feature which Pocket does not have is a search bar, this can just create a limitation to the inspiration a user can access. However, although it does not have a search bar, it does have options users can select so that their feed is catered to their interests.

Pocket and Pinterest have very similar functions, and are both good ways to create, be inspired, and broaden knowledge. With them both having pinning options, it allows users to look at things at their convenience without losing something they had liked, if they simply pin it they can return to it at any stage.

The Oscar-nominated The Banshees of Inisherin is just the latest film to tap into the rugged beauty and timeless atmosphere of Ireland's western isles. For decades, moviemakers from David Lean (Ryan's Daughter) to J.J. Abrams (Star Wars) have been drawn to their haunting landscapes, ancient forts, abandoned stone villages, and seabird colonies.

Caught between myth and reality, these dozens of islands-just 20 of them occupied-also possess uncommonly cinematic weather. "We're far north, so the sun moves fast across the sky, and light and shadow become very compelling for filmmakers," says cinematographer Cian de Buitléar, who has worked on movies such as Islandman (2003), shot around the Aran Islands.

Here's what travelers need to to know to get their own close-up with the region.

Pubs and pirates on Achill Island

Writer/director Martin McDonagh's Banshees is set on a fictional Atlantic island with a Gaelic name that translates as "the island of Ireland." Amid green mountains, rushing seas, and bucolic villages, the movie's estranged best friends-Pádraic Súilleabháin (Colin Farrell) and Colm Doherty (Brendan Gleeson)-have pints at a pub, farm their land, and experience the joys and despairs of island life. One of Inisherin's real-life stand-ins was Achill Island.

Ireland's largest island, Achill is connected to the northern mainland of County Mayo by a bridge. Its 57 square miles hold verdant peaks, rocky beaches, and lots of sheep. Hikers and cyclists come for its challenging trails and country lanes, including the clifftop road winding from the village of Keel to Keem Beach. The latter, a mountain-framed horseshoe cove with a sandy beach, was a major filming location for Banshees.

Though the atmospheric local pub in the movie was a set erected above Keem Beach, watering holes with a similar feel (turf-burning fireplaces, fine fiddle music) include Lynotts in Cashel and McLoughlin's Bar near the village of Achill Sound.

Other spots worth visiting while in Achill include the Deserted Village on Slievemore on the north part of the island. It has dozens of crumbling stone "boolies"-huts used by shepherds following their flocks. Nearby is the Tower at Kildavnet, the remains of a 16th-century stone structure that was used by the legendary pirate queen Granuaile (Grace O'Malley).

(Ireland's new tourist trail follows a 16th-century female pirate.)

A Celtic mermaid on the Blasket Islands

Lying off the tip of the Dingle Peninsula, the six Blasket Islands resemble a school of whales. Until they were abandoned in the 1950s, the Blaskets were inhabited by hardy islanders who raised sheep, gathered seaweed, and told stories. The most famous was the Celtic legend of the selkie, a shape-shifting mermaid that may have been inspired by the grey seal colonies that still fill the Blaskets rocky shores each summer.

This mythical half woman/half seal shows up in multiple Irish movies including The Secret of Roan Inish (1994) and Ondine (2009); the latter starring Colin Farrell as a fisherman who catches a selkie in his nets. While both were filmed in other coastal areas of Ireland, the animated feature Song of the Sea (2014) sets its tale of selkies and fairies amid islands that are ringers for the Blaskets.

Although no people (or mythical beings) live on the Blaskets today, visitors can catch a ferry or take a private boat tour from the mainland to Great Blasket, the largest of the islands. There's a single café, and an eco tour operator can set up overnight stays in self-catering cottages.

Ancient ruins and Gaelic on the Arans

Sparse and treeless, the three Aran Islands-Inis Mór, Inis Meáin, and Inis Oírr-rise out of the Atlantic Ocean near the mouth of Galway Bay. These wind-blasted isles contain Gaelic-speaking villages and ancient ruins. Some of the bleaker scenes in The Banshees of Inisherin were filmed here amid shallow fields and rustic cottages.

To reach the Arans, take a ferry from Doolin on the mainland. On Inis Mór, you can hike or bike around the stonewall-lined fields or visit the cliff-top fort of Dún Aengus, a filming site from Banshees. Playwright J.M. Synge lived in a cottage on Inishmaan that's now open for tours. Shops on Inis Meáin sell the region's trademark white cable sweaters.

Lodgings on the Arans used to mean sleeping over a local pub or bunking at a simple B&B. But since 2007, the sleek Inis Meáin Restaurant and Suites has offered minimalist-chic guest rooms in a stone-covered, modernist building plus a restaurant serving multi-course dinners using local fish and grown-on-site vegetables.

Star Wars and the Skelligs

The Skellig Islands rise out of the wild Atlantic Ocean like two sandstone cathedrals, their weather-sharpened spires pointing heavenward. About an hour's boat ride off County Kerry, the remote pair of isles holds the ruins of a medieval monastery, the summer nesting grounds for puffins and gannets, and two defunct lighthouses.

Skellig Michael, the largest of the two islands, was cast as a remote planet with a Jedi temple in two Star Wars movies, The Force Awakens (2015) and The Last Jedi (2017). Since then, a May the 4th Be With You (May 4) festival for Star Wars fans has been held on a nearby Kerry beach with vistas of the islands.

(Eight places to visit if you love Star Wars.)

Popular, weather-dependent boat tours to Skellig Michael take off in summer months from a visitors center on nearby Valentia Island. Boats deposit visitors not far from the steep, 618-step shale stairway to the ruins of the sixth-century St. Fionan monastery with beehive-like rock huts where monks once dwelled.

It's the nuns, for one thing. They're the first sign you've stepped off Southeast Asia's generic elephant-and-temple tour into someplace different: willowy nuns in buffalo-grey habits, showing surprising strength as they heft their luggage off the carousel at Manila airport, signalling your arrival in a Catholic country.

Then there's the heat. The heat in the Philippines is different from Thailand's urban furnace or the dusty fug of Cambodia: it's a heat that has the sea in it. It folds you into a belly hug, thawing away a tough British winter. It's a heat that says to me: welcome home.

My mother is Filipina; trips to the country have been a bienniel fixture since I was born. This time, however, it's been almost five years since my last trip. I'm visiting at the start of December, just as the Philippines has dropped Covid tests as an entry requirement for vaccinated travellers - although the unvaccinated will still need to test negative.

It is an active struggle to live in harmony on an airplane. It's amazing that more conflict doesn't ensue when you smash a dozen to a couple hundred people into a confined space with conflicting cultural norms, minimal elbow room and limited bathroom availability.

One of the touchiest subjects in all of air travel is the seat recline. To some, leaning your seat back on a flight is a no-brainer. Why wouldn't you take that precious spare space for relief? For others, the sight of the seat in front barreling toward them is a living nightmare. Not only would they never recline - they think the practice is rude.

Chaos can erupt when opinions clash over the recline feature. In 2020, a passenger on a flight from New Orleans to Charlotte repeatedly punched and nudged the seat of a woman in front of him after she reclined. Another passenger filmed the incident.

In 2014, a United Airlines flight was rerouted when two passengers got into an altercation over seat reclining and the use of the Knee Defender, a device that prevents the person in front of you from reclining. A week later, a Frenchman had a recline-related meltdown on a flight from Paris to Miami, causing yet another reroute. And because good things come in threes, a third incident went down just days after that, when a woman on a Delta flight had her head bonked by a seat reclining in front of her. Screaming ensued, and the plane was rerouted.

Do these travelers have a case? When, if ever, is it okay to hit that recline button on a flight? Here are some considerations.

Recline: When You're Sitting in Front of a Child

Children and babies on flights get a bad reputation for being rambunctious, but at least they're small. Relative to their body size, the airplane seat they get is a lot bigger than yours. Reclining into a child's territory does put you at risk of getting your seat back trampled by a pair of baby Crocs, but that's a risk you might be willing to take.

Don't Recline: When the Person Behind You Is Tall

Take a peek at the person sitting behind you. Are they clocking in under 6 feet? You're good to recline. But if you look back and the passenger appears to be a starting center for the New York Knicks, take your finger off of that recline button. Airlines these days offer economy passengers roughly 31 to 38 inches of legroom (or "seat pitch") on long-haul flights. Think of the perils of being in coach when you're 6-2 with legs some 40 inches long.

Recline: When You're on a Long-Haul

Planes aren't designed to be the most comfortable places to rest but, rather, to get you from Point A to Point B. It takes a lot out of a person to sit on a plane for extended periods of time. In cases where you're trapped for several hours, a couple inches of recline can provide absolutely crucial relief.

"I think reclining seats are necessary to surviving long-haul flights in economy," says Jessica Nabongo, an American travel writer on track to be the first black woman to visit every country on Earth. "For me, there is absolutely no possibility of my sitting upright in economy for eight-plus hours."

If taking those two to four inches of lean takes the edge off the backbreaking agony of a long-haul trapped in coach, go forth and recline.

Don't Recline: When Food Is Being Served and Eaten

With the exception of Super Bowl Sunday, when you're free to kick back in a La-Z-Boy recliner and nosh on wings, we generally sit upright when eating food. While having the seat reclined on a plane may offer you some comfort, don't keep it that way when it's time for your flight's meal service. That'll mean a cramped dining experience for the passenger behind you.

If you're already reclined, do your fellow travelers a courtesy and at least (slowly) pop back up when a meal is served.

Recline: When You're Taking a Red-Eye

Most people book a late-night flight with the intention of sleeping on the plane. The whole plane goes dark, and passengers are expected to at least try to get some shut-eye. You're good to recline here.

When it's 3 a.m. and the lights are off, there's less chance of disrupting the person behind you. Chances are, they're probably trying to snooze, as well. But remember that it's still good form to look back before you lean, just in case.

Don't Recline: When You're Going to Sit up Straight Anyway

For sweet goodness' sake, do not recline your seat if you're not taking advantage of those precious and controversial inches. The person behind you is getting less room and comfort because of your action. Not sitting back on your reclined seat is a cruel and unusual thing to do. Don't be cruel and unusual.

Recline: If the Person in Front of You Has Reclined

A passenger in the front of the plane can trigger a chain reaction and cause a succession of leaning, all the way to the back. Even though you were taught growing up that you shouldn't do something just because everyone else is doing it, we're telling you the opposite. There seems to be an unsavory general consensus that if the person in front of you is reclining, you're entitled to, too. When the dominoes start to fall, give in.

Don't Recline: When You Hear the Person Behind You Beg for Mercy

Flying isn't easy for everyone. Whether tall, claustrophobic, anxious or just in the middle of a terrible day, it can become a gruesome endeavor. If you go to recline and someone asks you not to, reconsider. Sure, it's technically within your right to do so - why would the function be there in the first place if not to use it?

But take the high road and collect some traveler karma instead.

Ultimately, flier discretion is advised. Assess individual situations, use your best judgment, and recline or remain upright accordingly. Are there other hypothetical situations for reclining we should consider? Sound off in the comment section or tweet them to me at @ natbco - we may update with a ruling.
