This is a photograph from both of the races in the 8th annual Longwood Village 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were held in Longwood Village, Longwood, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 22nd October 2017 at 11:00. The races are held annually to support the development of the local GAA club while also supporting local charities. The race has support from Trim AC which sees the race have full AAI premit status. These races have grown steadily over the years and this year almost 400 participants to part in the two races. This is an impressive statistic given that a very large number of local runners will be preparing for the Dublin City marathon 7 days from now. However both races provide marathon runners and all other runners, joggers and walkers with an ideal opportunity to race on a very fair course in a beautiful rural setting. Barry Clarke of Longwood GAA and Trim AC and his very large group of volunteers deserve the highest of praise for the very high standard of organisation immediately apparent to anyone taking part in the race. Overall the whole day was a great success with the hard work put in by the organising committee ensuring that participants enjoyed their race experience. Both routes were accurately measured, kilometer points clearly marked, junctions well stewarded, and electronic timing provided. The event provided many local runners, joggers, fun runners and walkers with a local event to support whilst at the same time providing runners preparing for events such as the Dublin marathon with an opportunity to race a short, fast, distance in the lead up to marathon day. The GAA club provided excellent stewarding and traffic management all around the course. The race had a professional feel to it and it is sure to grow next year given the very positive feedback from many of the participants today. The weather in the week leading up to the race was hardly ideal with both Storm Ophelia and Storm Brian bringing windy and rainy conditions to Ireland all week. The weather for race day was more suitable for running. Dry, with a fresh breeze, the weather remained dry for both races with the sun making an appearance also.
We have an extensive set of photographs from all of the races today in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157661720601468

Longwood is a small village in South East Co. Meath and is close to the town of Enfield with access to the M4 Motorway.
5KM Course: The 5KM started in Longwood village. Runners then took a left turn in the Village down St. Oliver's Road. This straight section of road brings runners to a left turn onto a very well maintained boreen road for less than one kilometer. The race then emerges and joins with the 10KM at Stoneyford where the runners take a left and then another left before arriving back at the finish line in Longwood GAA club. Overall this is a very fast and flat 5KM with no hills to speak of.
10KM Course: The 10KM event begins in Longwood Village outside Dargan's Pub and proceeds westward out of the village. There are some interesting points along this part of the course. At the 2KM point the runners will run under the double bridges - an aquaduct for the Royal Canal and a bridge carrying the Dublin Sligo Railway line. The race then enters county Kildare just before the 3km and after taking a right turn at the four-cross roads known locally as Lally's Cross it returns to County Meath on top of the River Boyne Bridge (Ashfield Bridge) which forms the county boundary. The race follows a straight road for the next 2KM until runners encounter Blackshade bridge which is the toughest climb on the route. As a point of interest Blackshade bridge brings runners back over the Royal Canal and the Railway line. The race then crosses the River Boyne again at Stoneyford before taking a right which will bring runners on a testing two kilometer stretch with some short hills. The 10KM course then joins with the 5Km course for the final 1.5KM back to Longwood GAA club for the finish.

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.

Vysehrad Cemetery is the graveyard attached to the Basilica of Saint Peter & Saint Paul in Vysehrad (notes at the end about the Vysehrad complex).
The complex is over a thousand years old, but the cemetery was only established in 1869, which explains the newness of the headstones. It's an active cemetery, though it seems pretty packed walking around. As noted below, this could basically be seen as the Czech pantheon, given the number of notable Czechs interred here from the arts, letters, and medicine.
Among those you'll find here (that non-Czechs may recognize, by name or contribution) are: Jan Neruda (a poet, and the man from whom Pablo Neruda took his pen name), Antonin Dvorak (composer of the New World Symphony), Josef & Karel Capek (brothers, Josef created the word "robot" and Karel used it in his play R.U.R., which introduced the word to the world), Karel Ancerl (conductor of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and Toronto Symphony Orchestra), Hana Maskova (1968 bronze medalist in Olympic figure skating), and Jan Evangelista Purkyne (who, in 1839, coined the term "protoplasm"). There are many others of note, and very ornate headstones -- hence this large set. I don't intend to slight anyone, so feel free to do some research on your own if you wish.
Vysehrad is a pretty neat place to visit in Prague, in my opinion -- especially if you want to relax away from tourists.
It has a combination of things that make it wonderful for me. Its history, its current use, its location (and views it affords), and what's left on site -- taken individually, warrant a visit in my world. Collectively? Winner.
We'll start with what Vysehrad was, which involves local beliefs and legends. The (unproven) thought is that this is the original site of Prague, founded by Duke Krok in...who knows what year? Duke Krok is a myth, though may have been real. And since he's a myth, his daughters, too, are mythical. One of them is Libuse, who has a "bath" here, and she can be found in some architecture around town. I recall seeing her on a building on Karlova.
Duke Kroc was the first duke of the Czech people. Princess Libuse, the youngest (and wisest) of his three daughters later became queen and married a ploughman named Premysl, founding the Premyslid dynasty (interesting...she's royalty, he's a commoner, yet the dynasty is named for him because he's a man...yea for sexism?). The three sisters had special powers (one a healer, one a magician, and Libuse could predict the future). She prophesied the founding of Prague in the 8th century. So believe the Czechs.
What does history tell us? Well, this fortress-castle has been here for a thousand years give or take. Precise origin dates are unknown (or I can't seem to find them). One of the buildings here -- St. Martin's Chapel -- is known to have been built sometime between 1060-1090, so we can say it's conservatively a thousand years old.
Part of the fun of the legend that could support its continuing existence is its location high on a bluff directly overlooking the Vltava River. It was a perfect place to build a defensive fortress, that eventually became a royal castle. As the city grew, and Prague Castle was built, Vysehrad's importance waned.
The two castles competed (kind of) for two centuries to be the most important in Prague. The heyday for Vysehrad was in the late 11th century (when St. Martin's Chapel was built). Vratislaus II, the first king of Bohemia (until him, all were dukes or duchesses) moved his seat of power here from Prague Castle, at which point the original Vysehrad fortress received a major upgrade: a new palatial home, a church, a chapter house.
Growth continued, but only for a short time. Vratislaus's son, Duke Sobeslav (I'm not sure why he was duke, if his dad was king) moved the royal seat right on back to Prague Castle.
The death knell for Vysehrad (as a royal residence) came when Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV (yeah, the same one for whom Charles Bridge is named) renovated Prague Castle to its current dimensions. Vysehrad was abandoned. However, Charles did renew the fortifications with new gates, a royal palace (though never official seat of government), and started repairing the basilica. This was early 14th century. About a hundred years later in 1420 at the start of the Hussite War, Vysehrad was rancasked. And again, a few decades later. Finally, Vysehrad was left to ruin...
...Until the Austrians came along. Austria-Hungary gained Czech lands as a prize of the Thirty Years' War, remodeling it as a baroque fortress, to use as a training center for their troops.
The main building that dominated Vysehrad (to this day) is the Basilica of St. Peter & St. Paul. It's pretty big. Hard to miss, for sure. Like St. Martin's Chapel, it was also (originally) built in the 11th century. Unlike little St. Martin's, though, the big fella was remodeled in the late 1300s and, again, by the Austrians in 1885 & 1887. It's now a neo-Gothic church. Also dating to this baroque renovation are the Tabor and Leopold gates.
So...what do you get when come to Vysehrad now? A city park, really. It's free to come and go (though I think going inside the church may cost a little money).
The bastion walls are fantastic to take a walk around and enjoy panoramic views of every part of the city, the river, the bridges, just to reflect on the here and now, and the past. The bastions are big enough, and long enough, that you can take some time to just do that alone. There are also benches if you want to relax and enjoy the view.
Inside the fortress walls, you'll find mostly wooded land (thanks to its having been abandoned) with the aforementioned church and chapel, plus some other historic recreations, a few trails, and...well, all around, pleasant places to be. There are a handful of statues around the grounds, including Good King Wenceslaus, and Princess Libuse.
Being as that it's a church -- and a large one -- there's also a church cemetery attached directly to the side and back of it. Creatively, it's called "Vysehrad Cemetery."
As far as cemeteries go, I've been to many, and this one has some of the most interesting headstones I've seen. Not only that, as far as Czechs go, this could almost be their Pantheon. While royalty are buried elsewhere (Prague Castle, for starters), the literati all seem to be buried here -- except Kafka. He's in the New Jewish Cemetery. And, not every famous Czech is buried here, of course, but quite a few prominent ones from arts and letters are taking their dirt naps here. At the end of the day, this is a big, beautiful public park, well worth a visit, and the locals love it. This seems to be one of the places they come to celebrate New Year's Eve. I love that it's not overrun by tourists, though hope that anyone who has read this can make it there and see for yourself.
2011 - Amber's 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Horn, explaining what the kids can use to decorate their pumpkins.
When we were rearranging the sitting room to accommodate the cooker, fridge and washing machine, we discovered the old bookcase was dangerously wobbly. I ordered another two (because, as Rey knows, you can never have too many bookcases!) cheap ones that got delivered today, and Olivia was really keen to have a go with the screwdriver. She lost interest soon after this shot....
This is a photograph from the 1st running of the Father Murphy AC 10KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Kildalkey, Trim, Co. Meath Ireland on Easter Sunday 5th April 2015 at 12:00. The 10KM race replaces the traditional 5 Mile road race which has been hosted by the club over the past number of years. The 10KM race today also incorporated the Meath 10KM Road Championships. The route started and finished in Kildalkey and took a route westward out to Ballivor and Franye before returning to Kildalkey. The route brings the runners through beautiful Meath Countryside on low-traffic country roads. The weather conditions were near to perfect with cool temperatures and the absence of any breeze. This made for excellent and pleasant racing and running conditions. Just over 160 participants took part.

A live demonstration of the rebuilt Colossus Mk II at Bletchley Park - a reconstruction of the world's first programmable digital electronic computer.
Colossus was designed to help staff at Bletchley Park decrypt messages sent between different parts of the German Army High Command. These had been encrypted using a Lorentz cipher machine - a device more complex than Enigma.
The Bletchley Park codebreakers were able to figure out the behaviour of the Lorentz machine two and a half years before they actually laid their hands on one, thanks to a horrendous mistake made by a German operator sending a message from Athens to Vienna on 30th August 1941. By the beginning of 1942, engineers at the Post Office Research Laboratories at Dollis Hill had produced a device called 'Tunny' that emulated the Lorentz machine's logic. Once cryptographers had worked out the Lorentz machine settings, these could be plugged into Tunny and the ciphertext could be fed in; if all was well, Tunny would produce the plaintext of the message as its output (in German, of course).
The problem was that working out the required Tunny settings by hand took weeks. A first semi-automated solution involved a machine nicknamed 'Heath Robinson' but this was later improved by Post Office electronics engineer Tommy Flowers, who designed and built the Mk I Colossus. This 1,500-valve machine was assembled in Bletchley Park F Block over Christmas 1943 and operated on its first message in January 1944, reducing the time to break the Lorentz cipher from weeks to hours.

I make the first move to turn on the tv
It's late at night and your in no danger
Here in my arms as we watch power rangers
I know i'm not clever, I know i'm not smooth
But when it comes to ddr i know how to bust a move
I do this so you smile, I'm not gonna lie
I'll keep on doing this as long as i'm your geeky guy
You could be my wonder woman I could be your superman
We can fight the crime together even when were hand in hand
I'm not much on saving worlds that don't mean i'm a zero
Yet when you need me most i could be your guitar hero
Baby I know
I know im not the coolest or "the bomb"
but i can name every pokemon
I'll be your mario, I'll be your link
I'll save your world before you even think girl
I see you giggiling giving me those little looks
im so oblivious with my nose in those comic books
Realize i fell for you long before my nintendo days
I just hope you fall for me and all of my nerdy ways
Our love is risin', I see you smilin'
Believe me there aint a reason for cryin'
Doing everything to gain a level in your heart
But I can't make the move until you press start
So am I just so out of date that you just wish to throw away
Am I just a bonus round that takes a part in all your games
Maybe just a pop up that you click delete from your fate
Could I be the one whos all up in your top eight
Girl I can't wait
I cant explain this feeling you been giving me
Unknown forces makes me want to turn off my 360
Forget my wii I know that we got have this specialty to see
That love and hope will be our rope to hold til we live happily
So just for a moment be that damsel in distress
Where I can carry you within my arms and my chest
When they ask about this song I'll say I need to show her
Why am I so in love with her even after game over
Another shot from my sister's recital. During the intermission, my dad spent some time explaining how the harp works. I'm rather happy with this photo!
Paulo Claudio of Pulaski Academy explains his science project to judges Bill Taylor and Weijiu Liu during the Southwestern Energy Arkansas Science and Engineering Fair was held Friday at UCA's HPER Center. The event features students from across the state competing in several different categories.
ok, let me explain: 19th September is International Talk Like A Pirate Day (or ITLAPD as those in the know refer to it). last year's ITLAPD was celebrated as a last minute thing in our office, so this year we're planning to make it bigger and more pointless than before. i had a hare-brained idea to make a pirate ship shaped (ship shape) cake but - having never attempted such a masterpiece, and having little if no artistic abilities - felt the need to practice first. i got a bit bored decorating it and couldn't be bothered to finish it off properly, which is why it looks like it was made by a 3-year old, but am rather pleased with the marzipan pirate figures. a picture of the proper cake will be posted on or around ITLAPD. yarrrrr.
(nb: i can count 4 of the 7 deadly sins in here - i wonder whether shamelessness /complete-and-utter-lack-of-pride cancel the others out though?)

I had an awesome day with my photo booth all set up at the festival then helped my parents in the chip stand (running on no sleep) and 1 firework left in my backpack. So what else do you do? Yup head on out and light it up on those tracks again. This is Mattawa my home town that i grew up in and its got a population of about 3000 people nestled in on the Ottawa and Mattawa rivers and again if your from Mattawa you will recognize this spot. Im standing at the start of the Train bridge that runs over into Quebec(which is another province in case your not familiar with Canada) and is the only way you can make it up the mountain to those 3 glowing crosses.(and side note this is where the train came from on yesterdays shoot) So as i was walking out hear i was setting up this photo and remember i have only 1 firework so its a 1 time deal) and as i was setting up the photo i seen someone coming from the sides of the tracks and it was Justin, a local from Mattawa who was waiting for his friends to come back from the Quebec. He asked me what i was up to and i told him i was about to light paint and try this firework shot out. I explained to him how light painting works and he was into it so i asked him if he wanted to help out on this photo. He said he was in and this was our colab shot from me and Justin. So after i got the composition all set up i got out the firework and tapped it to some odd handle, got my flashlight ready as well and then gave justin the sparklers so he could run up the tracks with them as i lit of that roman candle ---It was so windy but we finally got everything lit up. hit the camera and this is what happened. I stood at the end of the bridge shooting off the roman candle in the air and as i did that justin made his mad dash up the tracks light them up and after that i lit the ground in the center of the tracks with my flashlight. Theres even the 3 crosses glowing reflection off the water as well So this was day 210 with a 1 shot attempt --Thanks again to justin for the random help i appreciate that.
After the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in January 1893, the United States was considering annexing Hawaii.
In the late 1890s, American political cartoons illustrated manifest destiny, or America's geopolitical and colonial expansion. The United States considered annexing Hawaii, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines.
Cartoons portrayed the territories as children with dark skin, grass skirts, nappy hair, and bare feet. Uncle Sam personified the United States, their supposed warden.
Political cartoons expressed, shaped, reinforced, and reflected social, political, and racial conditions of a society. Therefore, newspapers used cartoons as propaganda to shape public opinion. As mirrors to public knowledge, cartoons showed what the public knew.
