Northrop N-1 (I think; I may be wrong) in flight, high above the crowd. This plane was pretty interesting, since it featured a pusher configuration (where the propeller is situated behind the plane, and pushes rather than pulls). Also, it was extremely hard to capture it on my viewfinder, especially at 150+mm. It was extremely thin, and would constantly disappear once it knifes through the air.

Three different oblique transmitted light configurations created using a home-made sector stop placed in the condenser filter tray. Note how the centre image has an inverted relief compared to the other images; flipping this image over vertically would make the surface appear lit from above rather than below, and thereby give the nucleus a positive relief.

 

With conventional brightfield microscopy, the nuclei in the onion cells could barely be discerned, but with OTL, not only are the nuclei clearly visible, but also their contained nucleoli. Further detail in the cells appears as textural elements which I'm unable to interpret, but apart from some diffraction bands, I don't believe they're artefacts of the lighting regime.

 

The cells came from a thin peel off some shallots that were destined for cooking.

The church dedicated to the Saviour's Configuration ("Metamorfosi tou Sotira") is built in the middle of "Palio Chorio" ("Old Village"). It was constructed in the 16th century (1520) and it has the same architectural style as the other two small churches of the village, that of "Panagia Theotokos" and that of Saint George "Perachoritis". Up until 1994, liturgies were conducted daily since it was considered as the village's main church.

It is a rectangular church of the Basilica style and with elements of the Byzantine style. It can accommodate up to 100-150 faithful. Externally it is made of stone and whitewashed.

 

The inhabitants built extensions to the church in 1880 and 1960 because the village was continuously growing. When they dug the floor they discovered many pieces of frescoes, which surely came from this church. Indeed, they were able to read the name of the hagiographer who was named Symeon Afxentis. He is known for his frescoes of the "Panagia Theotokos" and "Archangel" churches in the village of Galata.

The icon screen is woodcut, as also are the two Psalters that can be found in the church.

There are various remarkable representations dating back to the 16th and 17th century. The icon screen is of various different chronologies.

www.kakopetriavillage.com/churches.html

 

The settlement of Kakopetria, although mentioned by the mediaeval annalists, existed -at least- since the Frank domination era. The village's region was inhabited around the 6th - 7th century and the various excavations that have been conducted in 1938 around the old village of Kakopetria (in the Ailades venue) prove this.

 

During the excavations a dispenser of an ancient shrine -most probably belonging to the goddess Athena- came to light. A large number of movable findings were found, mainly terra-cotta, many of which depict the goddess Athena, as well as small, limestone, statues and parts of statues and bronze and iron shafts from spearheads and arrows. The findings most probably date back to the Archaic and Classic eras of Cyprus. Other statuettes represent Hercules and are an indication that he was also worshiped in the area along with the goddess Athena. These findings are found in the Archaeological Museum of Nicosia.

This is a photograph from the SSE AIRTRICITY Dublin Marathon which was held in Dublin, Ireland on Bank Holiday Monday 26th October 2015 at 09:00.The Dublin Marathon has been held annually since 1980. The marathon course starts at Fitzwilliam Square in the city center and finishes at Merrion Square. For the past number of years there have been some changes to the configuration of the route at the start and finish due to traffic and transportation infrastructure work around the city center. However the majority of the race proceeds in an anti-clockwise direction around the city passing through the Phoenix Park, Chapelizod, Inchicore, South Circular Road, Walkinstown, Terenure, Clonskeagh, UCD, Stillorgan Dual Carriage Way, Ballsbridge and finishing up Northumberland Road and Mount Street. As always the organisation is first class and this seen just under 13,000 people complete the marathon course.

 

The weather conditions were not very good for marathon running with runners facing race and windy conditions around much of the course.

Overall the poor weather conditions did not make for very good photographic conditions particularly around the start and finish area where it was a little darker around the tall buildings and streets.

 

The full set of photographs from the start and the finish are available at our Flickr set for Dublin Marathon 2015 https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157658064057124

You can download this photographic image here directly to your computer or device. This version is the low resolution web-quality image. How to download will vary slight from device to device and from browser to browser. Have a look for a down-arrow symbol or the link to 'View/Download' all sizes. When you click on either of these you will be presented with the option to download the image. Remember just doing a right-click and "save target as" will not work on Flickr.

 

I want get full resolution, print-quality, copies of these photographs?

 

If you just need these photographs for online usage then they can be used directly once you respect their Creative Commons license and provide a link back to our Flickr set if you use them. For offline usage and printing all of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available free, at no cost, at full image resolution.

 

Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.

 

In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us - If you are using the photographs online all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. You will find the link above clearly outlined in the description text which accompanies this photograph. Taking these photographs and preparing them for online posting takes a significant effort and time. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around your social media, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc. If you are using the photographs in newspapers or magazines we ask that you mention where the original photograph came from.

 

I would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?

Many people offer payment for our photographs. As stated above we do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers or in other circumstances we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.

 

Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs

We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?

The explaination is very simple.

Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

 

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

 

     ►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

     ►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

     ►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

     ►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

  

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

 

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

 

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

 

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

 

What does it mean to create a truly autonomous machine, independent from human control? And what happens when organs live outside of a body? Could this help us understand that the power of the human body lies in its ability to be different and to take on unexpected forms and identities?

 

Violently entangled within the performance space are three elements: an artificially intelligent prosthesis, out-of-body organic wombs and a human body. The prosthesis uses artificial intelligence algorithms to learn in real time how to move, exist and perform on stage. The wombs live and pulsate through the activity of microbial cultures. The sounds of the performer’s body are re-synthesised and transformed into a powerful and visceral auditory experience.

Having thrown out the original print of the photograph I wasn't quite sure what this vehicle was. It appeared to have a vertical rear transverse engine ...unusual in single-deck buses. Might it be a Daimler Fleetline with single-deck bodywork? It was to that invaluable resource Bus Lists on the Web (http://www.buslistsontheweb.co.uk/) that I turned. Here it was given as a Daimler SRL6, which would make it a Daimler Roadliner with Leyland engine I think. Fleetlines were CRG6 weren't they? Have I got this right? The grille and access flap certainly look like those of a rear transverse engine. Was the Roadliner so equipped? It seems perverse to provide a single-deck vehicle with an engine configuration that was undesirable from an engineering point of view, but necessary in double-deck vehicles for height-saving reasons. Bodywork was by Willowbrook. The vehicle was snapped at Northampton on Thursday 17th January 1980.

Because someone wanted to know how I set it up.

They're here--the nesting answer for traditional Straight Ahead players! Since a nested configuration requires at least 3" of difference in diameter between nested drums, a 12" mounted tom doesn't fit into a 14" floor tom. Some players feel that the 10" mounted doesn't provide the depth of tone they need from a first tom, so in a nod towards traditional sizes, meet the CS-BOP featuring an 11" mounted tom into a 14" floor tom that's deeper and whose bass is shallower than our popular Standard CS-18 configuration. Also featuring as Standard is an audience-side wood hoop on the bass. Now carry your Bop kit in just two cases: toms-n-bass in one, and your favorite (deep?) snare in another. This kit also features a ride cymbal arm on the bass. Swing It!! P.S. another fun detail is that we've maintained the 2:3 ratio seen in an 8"x12" tom here--the 11" tom is 7⅓" deep. 7⅓x11, 12x14, 14x18; plied maple; satin wax.

Second configuration, changed out the saddle for a Selle Italia turbo and the handlebars for Soma Sparrows. The additional setback on the saddle and the new handlebar geometry was a huge improvement. The wine corks are a bit cheesy, but I needed a temporary fix to keep the bars from denting the top tube until I could find a better alternative.

 

This saddle was a stopgap until I could determine what kind of leather saddle I wanted. In the end though, it wasn't very comfortable with street clothes. The handlebars were about perfect for fit though.

A quick sketch of mine of the general configuration Wilshire/Vermont Red/Purple Line station. Generated from several engineering source documents and direct observation. Purposefully not drawn to scale for clarity. Some details also omitted.

This configuration in the Highland Park Diner immediately had me thinking of a cross section of people bunched together in an elevator.

With it's unusual V tail configuration, specially painted Belgian Air Force Fouga Magister MT11 in the static park at a 1990's RAF Mildenhall 'Air Fete'.

 

Designed by the French, the Magister was the mainstay of their Air Force two-seat fast-jet training syllabus and was used by their National Aerobatic team along with 'Les Diables Rouge' (The Red Devils) of the Belgian Air Force. Both Air arms eventually transitioned to the Dassault-Breguet Alpha-Jet, the latter replacing the Magister with the Patrouille de France in which they still fly today.

 

Other users were the Irish Air Corps which have long been withdrawn but a couple of Belgian military examples have appeared on the show circuit in recent years so their is still life in these rather unusual looking 1950's designs.

Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

 

     ►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

     ►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

     ►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

     ►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

  

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

 

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

 

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

 

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

 

In 2012 we received from NASA an order for 6 new models of International Space Station. NASA requested to modify our current model in order to represent the latest changes and additions to ISS so the model will depict the most current and updated configuration.

The foam lining in the transit cases for modified models was adjusted accordingly to accommodate the models and new separate elements.

 

Along with the order of 6 modified models for NASA we also produced one model in luxury edition for CERN, which was shipped to Geneva, Switzerland and receive excellent feedbacks for its accuracy and versatility.

 

Visit www.lifeinscale.net/ISS_model-2012_configuration.asp for more information.

Standard Configuration. Frame and weapons updated as well as a red paintjob to make it shoot faster.

This is part of the documentation for our new open-source LED menorah project.

latest configuration:

Vixen Polarie on Sxg-71 tripod (this is the tripod that comes with the Photo guider)

Borg fork mount for slow mo control.

Canon 500D with RDF cos cant use laser pointer at star parties.

Polar Alignment with Vixen Polar Scope (great engineering work but a pain to use because its not illuminated. Figuring out a DIY illuminator soon)

Tripod legs has Kick-me-nots (led lights from Astro Gizmos, Jeff was at the star party)

 

Kicking the tripod is a real hassle because you have to polar align again. Actually putting the lights on the front of your shoes makes more sense so you know where the tip of your shoes are.

 

The Borg Fork mount is great for slo-mo but a little fiddly to use at night. You need to get used to which knobs to turn, in the dark.

 

Last thing - cover everything with Red cellophane - back of DSLR, laptop on switches etc.. You be amazed how much white light comes from the various equipment.

 

pete configured extra weight beneath the tripod for extra stability. winds were forecast to increase to 30 mph on the 3rd night with freezing temperatures.

This is a photograph from the SSE AIRTRICITY Dublin Marathon which was held in Dublin, Ireland on Bank Holiday Monday 26th October 2015 at 09:00.The Dublin Marathon has been held annually since 1980. The marathon course starts at Fitzwilliam Square in the city center and finishes at Merrion Square. For the past number of years there have been some changes to the configuration of the route at the start and finish due to traffic and transportation infrastructure work around the city center. However the majority of the race proceeds in an anti-clockwise direction around the city passing through the Phoenix Park, Chapelizod, Inchicore, South Circular Road, Walkinstown, Terenure, Clonskeagh, UCD, Stillorgan Dual Carriage Way, Ballsbridge and finishing up Northumberland Road and Mount Street. As always the organisation is first class and this seen just under 13,000 people complete the marathon course.

 

The weather conditions were not very good for marathon running with runners facing race and windy conditions around much of the course.

Overall the poor weather conditions did not make for very good photographic conditions particularly around the start and finish area where it was a little darker around the tall buildings and streets.

 

The full set of photographs from the start and the finish are available at our Flickr set for Dublin Marathon 2015 https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157658064057124

Special configuration!

The Windows Boot configuration Data (BCD) store file contains some invalid information. WINDOWS 7

 

Answer from Google Gemini AI..

 

What does this mean on a failed reboot.... The Windows Boot configuration Data (BCD) store file contains some invalid information. WINDOWS 7

  

That message indicates that your computer's Boot Configuration Data (BCD) file has become corrupted or contains errors. The BCD is a critical file that tells your computer how and where to boot the Windows operating system. When it's invalid, the system can't find the necessary files to start Windows, leading to a failed reboot.

 

What is the BCD?

The BCD is a file that holds important boot-related information. Think of it as a map for your computer's startup process. . It tells the computer things like:

 

Which hard drive and partition to boot from.

 

The location of the Windows operating system files.

 

The boot menu options (if you have more than one operating system installed).

 

When the BCD file is "invalid," it means the map is unreadable or has wrong directions, so your computer gets lost during the boot process.

 

Why does the BCD get corrupted?

Several things can cause the BCD to become invalid:

 

Sudden power loss during a system update or file write operation.

 

Improper shutdown of the computer.

 

Hard drive failures or bad sectors.

 

Malware or virus attacks that target system files.

 

Installing a new operating system in a way that overwrites or corrupts the existing boot data.

 

How to Fix the Problem

The most common way to fix an invalid BCD is by using the Windows 7 installation or repair disc. Here's the general process:

 

Boot from the installation media. You may need to change the boot order in your computer's BIOS.

 

Choose "Repair your computer" from the installation screen.

 

Navigate to the System Recovery Options and select "Command Prompt."

 

In the Command Prompt, you can use specific commands to rebuild the BCD. The most common commands are:

 

bootrec /fixmbr

 

bootrec /fixboot

 

bootrec /rebuildbcd

 

These commands will scan your system for a Windows installation and rebuild the BCD file with the correct information, effectively creating a new, valid "map" for your computer to follow.

  

I just did a power reset....

  

When you perform a power reset, also known as a hard reset or power cycle, you're essentially clearing all temporary data from your computer's memory (RAM) and some peripheral devices. This is different from a simple restart or shutdown because it physically drains all power from the system, forcing it to reload everything from scratch.

 

How a Power Reset Works

A power reset involves three main steps:

 

Shut down the computer.

 

Unplug all power sources. This includes the AC power cord for desktops and the battery and AC adapter for laptops.

 

Hold down the power button for 15-30 seconds. This drains any remaining electrical charge from the capacitors on the motherboard and other components. .

 

Why do a Power Reset?

A power reset can fix various issues by clearing temporary glitches or corrupted data that a regular restart can't fix. It's often used when:

 

Your computer is frozen or unresponsive and a normal shutdown isn't possible.

 

Peripherals like USB devices, monitors, or keyboards are not working correctly.

 

The computer turns on but doesn't show anything on the screen (a "no POST" situation).

 

You are experiencing boot-related issues, as it can sometimes resolve minor conflicts that prevent the system from starting properly.

 

When NOT to do a Power Reset

While a power reset is a powerful troubleshooting tool, it's not a solution for every problem. It's not the same as a factory reset, which wipes your hard drive.

 

A power reset won't erase your files, but it also won't resolve software-level issues, such as corrupted drivers or a failing operating system. For those problems, you'd need to use software-based solutions like system restores or reinstallation.

07/10/25 Now the ebm died a few times powered off, and reset. Jiggled the SCSI plug, pulled the power cord off and performed a few reboots of the scanner.

 

All power to devices off overnight...

 

Made crunching noises a few times

Check SCSI PolarLight Shortcut not find a SCSI board!!!...... But SF Launcer does.... BUT no Adapter found when scan launched...

 

Finally got Holder recognised and doing a scan on the Neg holder, but SilveFast thought it was the slide holder.

went ahead to scan and the ebm crashed...

 

Restart with the large RED button failed!

 

The scanner is sitting, waiting with the amber light blinking.

Power on and bloody scanner crunching the holder again.

 

The ebm is DEAD ..

So go and have breakfast............................

 

I unplugged it, and it then booted up. Windows started!

 

BUT scanner won't load holder crunchers..... I gently forced the holder till it caught, and did a Scan of the Neg Holder with SilverFast, thinking it was a 4 slide Holder!

 

Then ran Overview gain with crunching noises... still only sees a "Slide Holder" and crunchers.... restart scanner. SF sill has the eject holder command and eject just crunches....

 

Doing a scan just crunches the gears of the holder. With thumb-holding the holder it shut up!

 

Overview is noisy... 'scanner not Ready"

 

Crounching of gears continues with the holder removed!!!!

 

Rebooted the scanner and the silent overview failed. won't even start. Overview command is visible..

  

11th Oct 2025

 

After a day's rest, restarted the ebm and Scanner OK

While scanning slides, the ebm crashed. I rebooted & It had recognised the slide holder, but would not scan a slide, just showed the empty slide space....and then I put the negative holder in and it loaded the B&W neg settings 12>8 Bit Greyscale!!

 

now scanned a few from Roll61.....

   

iss071e523308 (Aug. 21, 2024) --- NASA astronaut and Commander for Boeing's Crew Flight Test Butch Wilmore checks CubeSat configurations packed inside launch cases installed in the Kibo laboratory module's Small Satellite Orbital Deployer.

Today's activities included a three round bout against this wireless access point, which has been stubbornly refusing to work for me for a couple of weeks. Today I aimed to resolve it.

 

It's an older one rescued from a decomissioned system which means the static IP address was unknown. Not a problem though, as you can reset it and it defaults to a specific IP address, except it didn't!

 

Finally, after a very wide ARP scan on a huge subnet I found it lurking now in the 192.168 range but all the way on 10.0.0.1! The firmware was corrupt, and it seems in that instance it rather unhelpfully jumps to this address and awaits further instruction. It would have been nice if that was documented!

 

Blessedly with the firmware updated and a spot of configuration is functioned as expected and is now up and running. :)

Two Brampton Transit NovaBus LFSs with newly installed bicycle racks photographed from the same vantage point at Conestoga Drive and Elmvale Avenue. On the left, number 0635 on Route 23 is heading west to Mount Pleasant GO Station via Sandalwood Parkway while the bus on the right, number 0815, is following Route 3 to Shoppers World via McLaughlin Road. Both have just departed Heart Lake Terminal. Brampton Transit, like many transit jurisdictions, identifies the year in which the vehicle was placed in service by the first two digits in the ID number. Thus 0635, among the first NovaBuses operating in Brampton first saw service in 2006 while 0815 arrived in 2008. Subtle differences in the two series can be seen in the configuration of the headlights (see notes). Brampton Transit now equips all its buses with bicycle racks. Wonder when we will see one in use?

Macro-configuration:

Canon EOS 7D, Canon macro ring lite MR14-EX , remote control RS80 N3 and Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM

This configuration was offered in the Corvette from 1957 through 1965, in 283 ci size for 1957-61 and 327 ci for 1962-65. It was discontinued after 1965 in favor of the 427 ci big block engine which made more power for less cost.

 

The fuel injected small block was also available in full size Chevrolets from 1957 through 1959, after which it was dropped in favor of the first Chevy big block, the 348 / 409 ci "W-head".
