Pilot boating program charts course for future use
LOS ANGELES - Guides from the Los Angeles Conservation Corps' "Paddle the LA River" escorted a mix of project partners, politicians and journalists for the inaugural LA River tour Aug. 8.
Results from the seven week pilot program will quantify the feasibility of seasonal non-motorized boating.
"Providing safe and healthy recreation experiences to meet the needs of current and future generations is part of the Corps' Recreation Strategic Plan," said Col. Mark Toy, Los Angeles District Commander. "But I must be clear, nothing we do can jeopardize human safety or reduce the flood carrying capacity of this river."
Accompanying the group was Fernando Gomez of the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority. He is a law enforcement ranger and the guide supervisor for this program. His team is swift water certified and their kayaks are prepared for any emergency from band aide to defibrillator.
"We want to provide a safe environment for everyone to enjoy, something that's brand new, it's a pilot program that we want to go even further," Gomez said. "We are fortunate to be partnered with the Conservation Corps and the Army Corps of Engineers; this should be one of the things that people can enjoy... the LA River."
Weekends through Sept. 25 the LACC offers two educational trips a day down a 1.5 mile stretch of the Los Angeles River within the Sepulveda Basin. Groups are limited to 10 for each tour and there is a $50 per person fee. The minimum age is ten. Those 18 and under must be accompanied by a guardian.
Nationwide the Corps of Engineers is a major federal, water-based recreation provider, host to more than 370 million visitors annually. The Los Angeles River at Sepulveda Dam sees more than 7 million visitors annually.
"We recognize the critical role we have in balancing our responsibilities among increasing interests in recreational opportunities along this great river," added Toy. "We are proud of these facts and we continue to work diligently with our partners and stakeholders on future opportunities for recreation and revitalization along the river."
BUILDING STRONG and taking care of people!

This barren bed of stone and rocks and the occasional lump of concrete is a water catchment running through Nizwa. The mountains in the distance are part of the Hajjar range and when it rains during the winter months the rain water cascades off the slopes and if not for the water course catchment the city would be soon flooded. Flash floods occur every year when it rains and water can be 3 - 4 feet deep within a few minutes.
This is a University Professor of Physics. Despite the special sound system that is often usd in demonstrations he is not doing a political meeting :-) He is teaching Physics, in the train station "Gare de Lyon". Several courses happened today in all train stations in Paris. Lots of people stopped a while to listen and after to understand what's going on. We are still on strike here. Third week.
Three New York Army National Guard Soldiers, along with five other National Guard Soldiers from across the country, rehearse the specific movements and commands of a full military funeral during the 80-hour, Train-the-trainer Military Funeral Honors course at Camp Smith Training Site on June 21, 2016.
Ten Army National Guard Soldiers were selected to attend the two-week training at Camp Smith, NY from June 13-24, 2016, which is designed to "train the trainer" so current Honor Guard members can return to their home states and train others. The training prepares each Soldier to execute the six different positions in a military funeral detail. This is the first time that
Camp Smith Training Site is holding the course.

The 3rd Donadea 50KM Ultra Marathon and Irish 50KM Championships were held at Donadea Forest Park, Donadea, Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday, 16th February 2013 at 10:00. The race is an International Association of Ultrarunners Bronze Label Event. The course is ten loops of the outer loop of the beautiful Coilte managed Donadea Forest Park. Overall this was a fantastic event. There were 107 participants on the start list including 8 runners who have started all of the three Donadea 50KMs held so far. Several runners from the nearby club Donadea Running Club took part. The race was organised by race director Anthony Lee who must be commended on doing a wonderful, professional job on organising this race to the very highest standards. The recent forest thinning works that have been carried out created a little muddy stretch near the hills on the back part of the loop but otherwise the loop (see garmin trace below) is a forest path in very good conditions. The high standard of organisation, the great camaraderie and atmosphere amongst the runners will see this become one of the must-do ultra marathon events in Ireland in years to come. The race was won by Barry Minnock in 3-05 (new course record) and the ladies race was won by Crusaders' Olywn Dunne in 4:01

I ran the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set!
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 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.
If you want to contribute something for these images?
We do not charge for these images. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that they are good enough that you would ordinarily pay for their purchase 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.
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.

La course camarguaise est un sport dans lequel les participants appelés raseteurs tentent d'attraper des attributs primés fixés au frontal et aux cornes d'un bœuf à l'aide d'un crochet. Le but étant de couper ou lever les cocardes, glands, ou ficelles.
Ce jeu sportif, sans mise à mort, est pratiqué dans les départements français du Gard, de l'Hérault, une large partie des Bouches-du-Rhône, ainsi que dans quelques communes du Vaucluse.

The first class of our International Trainer Course was a huge success for the Romanian military, Boboc, Romania.
Maryland Army National Guard Soldiers from the 29th MP Company negotiate a leadership-reaction course designed to combine leadership and problem-solving skills with teamwork. Soldiers were given ammunition boxes, ropes, pipes and wooden planks to help tackle each obstacle, which required them to get their squad from one side of the obstacle to the other. About 85 Citizen Soldiers from the Westminster and Cascade, Md., unit are conducting their annual training July 14-28 at Camp Dawson, W. Va.
