Call for an anti-imperialist contingent in antiwar march: 1972 by Washington Area Spark

1

A flyer by Youth Against War and Fascism (YAWF), a youth group affiliated with the Workers World Party, calls on people to join an anti-imperialist contingent in a larger march on Washington, D.C. to oppose the Vietnam War May 21, 1972.

While speeches took place at the U.S. Capitol to an assembled crowd of about 15,000, another 3-4,000 battled police at the foot of the U.S. Capitol. YAWF, along with the Attica Brigade, were the primary sponsors of the confrontation.

D.C. police chief Jerry Wilson was hit six times with rocks and a large stick and had blood running down his head from a number of cuts in one of the more intense clashes in Washington of the Vietnam War era.

Wilson was quoted, “They usually run when I walk toward them. This time they threw bigger rocks.”

A dozen police officers were injured and 178 protesters were arrested during the confrontation.

As U.S troops were being drawn down, President Richard Nixon escalated the war in other ways. Later in the year he would conduct expanding bombing campaigns through “Operation Linebacker” and “Operation Linebacker II,” the latter being the largest U.S. bombing campaign since World War II.

Ukrainian national contingent in DR Congo camp "Goma" awarded UN medals "For Service to Peace".

В рамках святкування 26-ї річниці Незалежності України в Демократичній Республіці Конго, на аеродромі міста Гома відбувся «Парад медалей» українського національного контингенту.

На церемонію нагородження прибули заступник Командуючого Місії ООН зі стабілізації в ДР Конго генерал-майор Бернард Комінс, начальник авіації Місії ООН Азам Айат, начальник Генерального штабу Збройних Сил Уругваю, командир бригади «Північне Ківу» бригадний генерал Харі Б Піллаі та інші посадовці.

– Сьогодні, військовослужбовці українського підрозділу є еталоном стандарту виконання обов’язків миротворця. Своїми діями ви постійно підтримуєте високий міжнародний авторитет Організації Об’єднаних Націй на усій території ДР Конго. Ось чому внесок українських миротворців до почесної місії підтримання миру в ДР Конго сьогодні нагороджується медалями ООН «За службу миру», – сказав генерал-майор Бернард Комінс

В свою чергу командир 18-го окремого вертолітного загону льотчик-снайпер полковник Юрій Вербельчук запевнив керівництво Місії ООН в ДР Конго, що український національний контингент й надалі гідно та професійно виконуватиме свій обов’язок заради підтримання миру в цій країні.

– В цей час, коли наша Батьківщина бореться за свою незалежність і суверенітет, військовослужбовці українського контингенту, як ніхто інший знають ціну миру і спокою на землі. Ми віримо в незалежність кожної держави на планеті, яка хоче її та бореться за неї, – наголосив командир 18-го окремого вертолітного загону льотчик-снайпер полковник Юрій Вербельчук.

Наприкінці «параду медалей» відбулось спільне фотографування українських військовослужбовців з представниками командування Місії ООН зі стабілізації в ДР Конго.

Lough Lene Gaels New Year's Resolution Races 2014 by Peter Mooney

This is a photograph from the second annual running of The Lough Lene Gaels Hurling and Camogie Clubs "New Year's Resolution Run" which was held in Collinstown, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Sunday 12th January 2014 at 13:00. There were two races on offer today - a 10KM road race and a 5KM road race, fun run, and walk. This is one of the first road races in the midlands of the New Year. As this was a community orientated event families were especially welcome in the 5KM race. The race was organised to raise funding for the development of the GAA pitches for the Lough Lene Gaels Hurling and Camogie Clubs. Overall this was a very successful event with a very large field of well over 300 participants in both races combined. The great local effort was exemplified by a very big local contingent from Collinstown and neighbouring areas.

The 5KM race was an out and back course on the Collinstown to Fore Road. The 10KM was also on an out and back course with a deviation between 2KM and 7KM for the longer race. There were several tough hills but an equal amount of down-hill. The turn around on the course for the 10KM came at Doyle's Pub [goo.gl/maps/WxPSy - Google Streetview] at Glenidan.

Refreshments were served afterwards in the Lough Lene Inn where the prize ceremony was also held.

Note: Due to the inclement weather and poor lighting we had to, unfortunately, delete a lot of our photographs as there were very many blurs and fuzzy pictures. You will find lots more photographs and race results on the Facebook pages outlined below.

However, we have an extensive set of photographs from today's event on the following Flickr Photoset Page: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157639654608496/

Can I use these photographs directly from Flickr on my social media account?

Yes - of course you can. Flickr provides several ways to share this and other photographs in this Flickr set. You can share to: email, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Tumblr, LiveJournal, and Wordpress and Blogger blog sites. Your mobile, tablet, or desktop device will also offer you several different options for sharing this photo page on your social media outlets.

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

All of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available free, at no cost, at full image resolution. We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, etc or (2) other websites, blogs, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you must provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us.

This also extends the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.

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 - 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 does take 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.

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.

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 www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
