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.

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!

So far, I've been flying my quadrocopters in "+" configuration all the time. This weekend I reconfigured my current rig into "X" configuration. It will take me a while to get used to it, but it looks much better and will be required anyway when a video camera comes into play.

 

A video of the first test flights can be found here.

The baseline configuration of the Oshkart SMTV (Scalable Medium Tactical Vehicle) family, the Mk601A is the standard two-door 6x6 cargo hauler configuration.

  

Features include opening doors and top hatch, a cab capable of seating 2 minifigs with body armor and headgear, foldable gunner’s seat, turning front wheels, center-pivoting rear axles, and spare tire with lift arm.

  

A special thanks needs to be given to Abdullah750Pakistan. This originally started as a project to clean up and make a buildable and more minifig-friendly version of his Ural 63708. As you can see though, it’s turned into a project to create a series of trucks in the same vein of the Oshkosh MTVR, Navistar 7000 MV, and Ural 63704-0010 families.

  

As with my other builds, all parts used in this are real production pieces.

A different configuration (up to 20 shopping cart stations may be used) is set up depending on the recipe used at each event. Each station is manned by an experienced kitchen hands. Daily events are scheduled at one of six locations across Toronto. Each event is free.

  

About the TCI:

 

June 8-17 marks the 6th annual Luminato, Toronto’s Festival of Arts and Creativity, a festival celebrating art from a variety of genres that purportedly has other cities lusting after its creativity and success. One of the new installments this year links Luminato’s well attended Food and Visual Arts programs for the first time. The result is the Toronto Carretilla Initiative (TCI), a delicious, contemporary artistic experience that’s open and free to the public. The TCI will launch this weekend at the Festival’s popular 1000 Tastes of Toronto event. Afterwards the kitchen will be in David Pecaut Square, with late afternoon snacks or suppers being served at Berczy Park, Fort York or Loblaws at Maple Leaf Gardens; on June 16th the carts will be at Evergreen Brick Works.

 

The TCI concept began in February when Austrian artist Rainer Prohaska – who has a history of successfully presenting participatory cooking performances in other cities – noticed that Toronto had a numerous hotdog carts but not other street food vendors. Prohaska wanted to set up mobile cooking stations in the city aimed at engaging the public to make meals together while still complying with Toronto’s public health department’s exacting standards of safety.

 

During Luminato Prohaska will take his mobile kitchen concept out into six public spaces, creating a customized, curbside cooking cart sculpture that’s as visually interesting as it is functional. An assortment of household objects – from plywood, clamps, zip ties and straps – attached to 20 orange shopping carts will assembled into a specific configuration depending on the recipe being made. The fine-tuned kitchen will be equipped with health requirements from hand washing stations to waste disposal; each cart will have a specified task and a trained supervisor. Members of the public are encouraged to collectively prepare – and partake in – one of nine potato-centered dishes carretillainitiative.net/recipes/gnocci/ that will be made for the communal meal. At the end of the event, Prohaska and his crew will dismantle the station, with a hope that participants will be left with a “memory of the flavourful experience in the mind and on the palate.”

 

We had the chance to get our hands dirty in a rehearsal run of the TCI, preparing two varieties of gnocchi: a sweet version topped with poppy seeds and icing sugar, and a savoury version with grated beet, garlic and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Check out experience of the fun afternoon in the following slideshow.

When F-86Ds were upgraded to the F-86L configuration, an AN/ARR-39 datalink receiver was fitted, which had a blade-like antenna sticking out of the fuselage just forward of and below the starboard wing. The AN/ARC-27 command radio of the F-86D was replaced by an AN/ARC-34 set. An AN/APX-25 identification radar was added, and a new AN/ARN-31 glide slope receiver was provided.

 

All Follow-On aircraft were brought up to F-86D-45 standards before starting with the electronics upgrades, including the installation of the drag chute in the tail. In the F-86L, two protruding cooling air intakes were added to the fuselage sides just aft of the wing, replacing the older recessed cooling ducts. The same J47-GE-33 or J47-GE-17B engine of the F-86D was retained, but the F-86L was fitted with the F-86F-40 wing, with twelve-inch wingtip extensions and "6-3" leading edge extensions with slats. The wingspan and wing area were 39.1 feet and 313.37 square feet respectively. The new wing improved the handing ability and provided better turning at high altitudes. The reconditioned F-86Ls retained the armament of twenty-four rockets of the F-86D.

 

The first flight took place on December 27, 1955. That particular aircraft had just the SAGE equipment installed, and the first conversion incorporating all of the Follow-On changes did not fly until May of 1956. A total of 981 F-86Ds were modified to the F-86L configuration. After conversion in 1956-57, F-86Ls were issued to most of the ADC wings that were using the F-86D. First to receive the F-86L was the 317th FIS at McChord AFB, which first received the planes in late November of 1956. The service of the F-86L with the ADC was destined to be quite brief, since by the time the last F-86L conversion was delivered, the type was already being phased out in favor of the Convair F-102A and F-106A delta-winged interceptors. The last F-86Ls left ADC service by 1960.

 

It should be noted that F-86L aircraft were also assigned to the 196th FIS, which was an integral part of Air Defense Command. The 196th FIS was based at Ontario ANGB, and the successor unit is the Guard refueling unit currently based at March Field. (Source: Ray V. Miller).

 

During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, six ANG F-86L squadrons were on alert. The last F-86Ls were withdrawn from ANG service during the summer of 1965.

Through 2014 our 1:100 scale model of International Space Station was further modified.

 

By the request from NASA we performed a few minor changes in ISS configuration - moved a few masts and small details. Replicas of Space Shuttle, ATV and CEV "Orion" were excluded from the set of accompanying logistics vehicles. Instead we developed and added replicas of Dragon and Cygnus spacecraft.

 

The model itself, however, was significantly upgraded. We made the internal support system even more durable, yet lighter, by using carbon fiber elements. Side supports were added, which increased model's stability. A great number of solar panels and other thin and vulnerable parts were replaced with metal equivalents.

The transit case foam lining and transport configuration of the model were also modified. The main solar arrays are transporting now detached from the model - it reduced the stress on the model itself and the solar arrays.

 

The models became stronger than ever, production time - reduced, transportation - became safer.

 

More models and photos at www.lifeinscale.net

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.

This is a photograph from a set of photographs taken at the St. Coca's AC 5KM Road Race 2017 which was held in Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 20:00 on Friday 30th June 2017. This superb road race is now firmly established again as one of the fastest and best organised road races of its kind in Leinster. The race follows a left handed course around a well known local walking route around Laragh and in the closing kilometer runs parallel to the Royal Canal into the finish at the railway station in the town having started at the primary school close to the St. Coca's running track. In fact for several hundred meters after the 4KM marker towards the finish the course runs parallel with the railway, canal and the R148 between Kilcock and Maynooth. This geographic feature is one of only a small number towns with this parallel configuration in all of Europe.

 

The members of St. Coca's AC and the many volunteers from the local community must be given great praise for organising another fantastic night of racing for runners, joggers, and walkers. The 5KM course is very flat with the exception of short incline up a motorway overpass and makes its way along narrow country lanes sheltered on either side by hedgerows. These roads offer a great contrast from the urban population of Kilcock which has grown as a satellite town of the greater Dublin area. The nice summer evening made for an enjoyable night for everyone with a large crowd gathering at the finish to cheer on participants. Refreshments and prize awards were held in the Gaelscoil near to both the race start and close to the St. Coca's running track. Running clubs and groups from all over Leinster and beyond were represented in the race tonight.

  

Electronic timing and event management was provided by Irish company MyRunResults.com (Website: www.myrunresults.com/)

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

 

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.

What is boho configuration style?

 

Bohemian or Boho style is a standard breaking, individual, and unpredictable way of designing a living space. Boho is enlivened by individuals who decide to have an offbeat existence like consistent voyagers, entertainers, and authors.

The Sandhurst Military Skills Competition has run in various configurations since 1967. This year, it is a two-day event conducted at the United States Military Academy West Point, New York, April 9 and 10. At its core, Sandhurst is an inter-company competition for USMA. However, West Point teams now compete, not only amongst themselves, but against teams from their fellow United States Service Academies, 8 select University ROTC teams, the United States Military Academy Preparatory School team, and international teams from Britain's Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS), Canada's Royal Military College (RMC) , Afghanistan's National Military Academy and, The Chilean Military School. Each USMA Cadet Company and Visiting Team selects a 9-member Squad (at least one member must be female) with two alternates. This squad is required to perform a series of challenging military tasks during a rapid, non-tactical move along a partly-prescribed 7 mile route.

At Planes of Fame Air Show in Chino, CA in 1978. USAAF AT-6D transferred to the US Navy as an SNJ-5.

 

Temporarily converted to a crude 'Zero' replica for the TV show 'Blacksheep Squadron' using the canopy from the Museum's authentic 'Zero.' It has since been returned to SNJ configuration.

 

Scanned from a slide.

Latest configuration set up as my every day commuter with lights, guards and moustache bars. I've also removed the Suntour components and replace with Shimano. The derailleur is better but thinking I should have stayed with the suntour shifters. That point is probably mute though because sooner or later she is going to become a 2-speed kick back. Currently running as 7-speed with single chainring and wide range cassete.

 

Tyres will need replacing soon. Currently white Vittoria 23c which have been super reliable and hard wearing, but thinking I'd like something a little more comfortable. Pretty sure I can go up to about 28mm on these rims. Will need to make a decision soon.

Through 2014 our 1:100 scale model of International Space Station was further modified.

 

By the request from NASA we performed a few minor changes in ISS configuration - moved a few masts and small details. Replicas of Space Shuttle, ATV and CEV "Orion" were excluded from the set of accompanying logistics vehicles. Instead we developed and added replicas of Dragon and Cygnus spacecraft.

 

The model itself, however, was significantly upgraded. We made the internal support system even more durable, yet lighter, by using carbon fiber elements. Side supports were added, which increased model's stability. A great number of solar panels and other thin and vulnerable parts were replaced with metal equivalents.

The transit case foam lining and transport configuration of the model were also modified. The main solar arrays are transporting now detached from the model - it reduced the stress on the model itself and the solar arrays.

 

The models became stronger than ever, production time - reduced, transportation - became safer.

I'll see how long it takes to fix. You can see it here, for now. I dropped them a note about it. Also enjoying this kb article today.

When F-86Ds were upgraded to the F-86L configuration, an AN/ARR-39 datalink receiver was fitted, which had a blade-like antenna sticking out of the fuselage just forward of and below the starboard wing. The AN/ARC-27 command radio of the F-86D was replaced by an AN/ARC-34 set. An AN/APX-25 identification radar was added, and a new AN/ARN-31 glide slope receiver was provided.

 

All Follow-On aircraft were brought up to F-86D-45 standards before starting with the electronics upgrades, including the installation of the drag chute in the tail. In the F-86L, two protruding cooling air intakes were added to the fuselage sides just aft of the wing, replacing the older recessed cooling ducts. The same J47-GE-33 or J47-GE-17B engine of the F-86D was retained, but the F-86L was fitted with the F-86F-40 wing, with twelve-inch wingtip extensions and "6-3" leading edge extensions with slats. The wingspan and wing area were 39.1 feet and 313.37 square feet respectively. The new wing improved the handing ability and provided better turning at high altitudes. The reconditioned F-86Ls retained the armament of twenty-four rockets of the F-86D.

 

The first flight took place on December 27, 1955. That particular aircraft had just the SAGE equipment installed, and the first conversion incorporating all of the Follow-On changes did not fly until May of 1956. A total of 981 F-86Ds were modified to the F-86L configuration. After conversion in 1956-57, F-86Ls were issued to most of the ADC wings that were using the F-86D. First to receive the F-86L was the 317th FIS at McChord AFB, which first received the planes in late November of 1956. The service of the F-86L with the ADC was destined to be quite brief, since by the time the last F-86L conversion was delivered, the type was already being phased out in favor of the Convair F-102A and F-106A delta-winged interceptors. The last F-86Ls left ADC service by 1960.

 

It should be noted that F-86L aircraft were also assigned to the 196th FIS, which was an integral part of Air Defense Command. The 196th FIS was based at Ontario ANGB, and the successor unit is the Guard refueling unit currently based at March Field. (Source: Ray V. Miller).

 

During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, six ANG F-86L squadrons were on alert. The last F-86Ls were withdrawn from ANG service during the summer of 1965.

The baseline configuration of the Oshkart SMTV (Scalable Medium Tactical Vehicle) family, the Mk601A is the standard two-door 6x6 cargo hauler configuration.

  

Features include opening doors and top hatch, a cab capable of seating 2 minifigs with body armor and headgear, foldable gunner’s seat, turning front wheels, center-pivoting rear axles, and spare tire with lift arm.

  

A special thanks needs to be given to Abdullah750Pakistan. This originally started as a project to clean up and make a buildable and more minifig-friendly version of his Ural 63708. As you can see though, it’s turned into a project to create a series of trucks in the same vein of the Oshkosh MTVR, Navistar 7000 MV, and Ural 63704-0010 families.

  

As with my other builds, all parts used in this are real production pieces.

The most significant architectural historic element of Montalbano, Elicona is the castle which dominates a haphazard and tortuous medieval urban fabric, meandering up and down the alleyways, molding itself to the configuration of the rocky promontory.The little houses constructed in sandstone are filled with authentic history, although in certain places a sense of abandonment is felt which should disappear with the planned restoration works.Erected on pre-existing Byzantine and Arab structures, the upper part of the castle is comprised of a Norman-Suevian fortress, while the lower part is made up of a fortified Suevian-Aragonese palatium (palace).The upper part, a rectangular fortress, is enclosed on its two extremities by two towers, one with a square plan and the other, typically Suevian, with a pentagonal plan, which functions as a donjon.The embattled perimeter walls date back to the Suevian period, and represent the most important and best preserved a saettiere defensive configuration in Sicily. The date 1270 still engraved in the cover of the large cistern is evidence of its Angevin phase.Instead it is to Frederick II of Aragon that we owe that reconstruction of the edifice and its transformation from fortress to regiae aedes, royal residence for summer sojourn (1302-08). The sovereign had eighteen large windows open on to the perimeter walls above the Suevian embrasures as well as a considerable number of portals and gates. Thanks to the modifications executed by the Aragonese king, the castle of Montalbano is one of the most coherent and harmonious of the Sicilian Middle Ages. The most extraordinary element in the entire castle is the royal chapel of the Byzantine era, which according to some scholars preserves the remains of Arnaldo da Villanova, one of the most important personages of his time. Physician, alchemist and religious reformer suspected of heresy, he died in 1310, and his numerous stays in Montalbano with king Frederick are well documented.

 

Il castello Svevo-Aragonese rappresenta l’elemento architettonico più illustre del luogo. Fulcro del centro storico, domina il suggestivo borgo medioevale, irregolare e tortuoso, che si adatta alla conformazione del promontorio roccioso.

Fu edificato e fortificato dall’Imperatore Federico II di Svevia intorno all’anno 1210 su preesistenti costruzioni bizantine ed arabe, raso al suolo a seguito di una rivolta popolare nel 1233, venne ricostruito tra il 1302 e 1308 dal re Federico II d’Aragona, e trasformato in reggia aedes, residenza reale per i soggiorni estivi, raggiungendo in quel tempo il massimo splendore. Egli trasformò il corpo svevo da fortezza a reggia, donandogli quell’imponenza elegante e composta che ne fanno un unicum nel suo genere, per cui il castello è costituito in alto da una piazzaforte normanno-sveva e in basso dal palatium fortificato svevo-aragonese.Sui lati corti spiccano due torri, una rettangolare, l’altra pentagonale. Nei vasti ambienti definiti da muri incisi da eleganti portali in pietra, si scorgono le zone un tempo adibite alla guardia, ai magazzini, alla rappresentanza, agli alloggi reali.L’elemento più straordinario dell’intero castello è la “cappella reale”, riconoscibile come “tricora” o “cuba” di epoca bizantina, caratterizzata da tre absidi, di cui le due laterali ricavate direttamente nello spessore delle mura e da tracce di affreschi. Qui, secondo il Fazello (1490-1570), sembra abbia avuto sepoltura Arnaldo da Villanova, medico, alchimista e riformatore religioso, morto intorno al 1310 e del quale sono attestate numerose presenze a Montalbano insieme al re Federico.
