The Hastings Jack-in-the-Green festival was revived by local group Mad Jacks Morris Dancers in 1983 and is now one of the biggest annual gatherings of Morris Dancers in the country. The Jack is “released” every year and is central to the festival. The main procession of the Jack takes place on the May Bank Holiday Monday through the streets of Hastings Old Town, starting from the Fisherman's Museum. The Jack is accompanied by Mad Jacks Morris, the Green Bogies, dancers, giants, musicians and various others. The procession ends on the West Hill where Jack is "slain" to "release the spirit of summer"
A Jack in the Green (also Jack in the green, Jack-in-the-green, Jack i' the Green, Jack o' the Green, etc.) is a participant in traditional English May Day parades and other May celebrations, who wears a large, foliage-covered, garland-like framework, usually pyramidal or conical in shape, which covers his body from head to foot. The name is also applied to the garland itself.
May 1st has long been an important part of the annual Calendar. It is the start of summer in these latitudes and as such has always been a day for celebration: the Celts celebrated May Day as Beltane; The Romans dedicated the day to the Goddess Flora and would go to the woods to cut a tree and decorate it with ribbons and flowers, this is the origin of the May Pole. In the 16th and 17th centuries in England people would make garlands of flowers and leaves for the May Day celebration, they became increasingly elaborate. Works Guilds would try to outdo each other, in the late 18th century this became a matter for competition, milkmaids in London carried garlands on their heads with silver objects on them, but the crown had to go to the chimney sweeps. Their garland was so big it covered the entire man. It became known as Jack in the Green.
In Hastings there were at least two groups who paraded a Jack in the Green until about 1889. By the turn of the century the custom was seen no more. The reasons were twofold: the Act which stopped boys climbing chimneys had been passed and these had been the main performers; secondly the Victorians had a different attitude to such customs, the prettification of customs took place, no more the giant maypoles with drunken and promiscuous behaviour, replaced by small poles imported from Germany with happy skipping children around them. The Lord and Lady of the May with their practical joking were replaced by a pretty May Queen. Certainly there was no place for the drunken noisy Jack in the Green.
The custom was revived in Hastings by Mad Jacks Morris Dancers in 1983. We do not say we are following exactly what happened, this is a custom for now, not a fossil. Jack is returned, he is not the property of a small group of dancers, but belongs to us all. Long may he dance!
Further information about the Jack in the Green in Hastings can be obtained by reading the excellent booklet "The Hastings Jack in the Green" written by Keith Leech. Keith, a long time member of Mad Jacks Morris was instrumental in reviving the tradition in Hastings and is a usually seen dressed as a "bogie" or green man, one of Jacks' attendants, during the procession on the May Bank Holiday.
In July 2012 I had a chance to do something I've wanted to do for years - kayak in Glacier Bay in SE Alaska. I was able to pull it off on a guided trip - we had excellent guides and the other castaways were fine characters - great bunch to kayak with. The trip started with great weather the first day - we did a lot of kayaking and some hiking - what a beautiful place. Second day was a long paddle but worth it - we camped near an active calving glacier that kept exploding all night - next morning we kayaked a safe distance from the front of it and just sat mesmorized - it was great; long paddle after that with a promise of more adventure - and then the rain rolled in - solid, steady, for about 40 straight hours - it was miserable - being cold and wet for so long was not fun but everyone stayed in good spirits even though we were tent bound most of the time. Oh well - guess I'll have to go back again!

Confronto in musica tra le bande cittadine di Desenzano e di Peschiera, domenica 20 settembre a San Martino della Battaglia.
A suon di fiati e percussioni si confronteranno sul palco in piazza Per la Concordia a San Martino della Battaglia le bande cittadine di Peschiera e Desenzano del Garda. “La sfida del Basso Garda”, concerto a ingresso libero, si terrà la prossima domenica 20 settembre alle ore 18. L’evento, rinviato a inizio estate a causa del maltempo, chiuderà la stagione estiva del Comune desenzanese e offrirà al pubblico un simpatico e brillante “duello” in musica, tra sponda bresciana e veronese del lago, con protagonisti i quasi cento musicisti dell’Ente filarmonico Banda cittadina di Desenzano, diretti dal maestro Guido Poni, e della Banda musicale cittadina di Peschiera, guidati dal maestro Andrea Loss.
La formazione desenzanese ha festeggiato lo scorso anno i suoi 140 anni d’attività bandistica (dal 1874), a cui si è aggiunta la Scuola di Musica, prezioso vivaio per il futuro dell’ente, le cui lezioni riprendono proprio in questo mese. Mentre la banda arilicense, con i suoi 34 anni d’esperienza, vanta origini antiche, a quando cioè le truppe austriache occuparono la cittadina fortificata facendone uno dei punti strategici del famoso “Quadrilatero”; nell’800 nacque a Peschiera la prima fanfara militare e poi la prima banda tra le due guerre mondiali. Anche la formazione di Peschiera è affiancata da una scuola di musica attiva, frequentata da allievi di ogni età.
The Katyń massacre ("zbrodnia katyńska" in Polish) was the mass murder of approximately 22000 Polish nationals carried out by the Soviet secret police (NKVD) in April and May 1940. The massacre was prompted by a proposal (dated 5th March 1940) from Lavrentiy Beria, Minister of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union, to execute all members of the Polish Officer Corps who had been captured and imprisoned by the USSR during the Nazi-Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939. This official document was approved and signed by the Soviet Politburo, including its leader Joseph Stalin.
As well as approximately 8000 officers of the Polish army, the victims of the Katyń massacre included 6000 police officers and thousands of university lecturers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, civic leaders, politicians, government officials, priests and other members of the "bourgeoisie" who had been targeted for arrest following the Soviet occupation of eastern Poland.
By physically eliminating Poland’s military and civilian elites, Stalin wanted to decapitate the Polish nation and ensure it was less able to resist the enforced Sovietisation of the occupied Polish territories.
The victims were all citizens of Poland, but not all were ethnically Polish - for example, the murdered army officers included Ukrainians, Belarusians and several hundred Jews, among them Baruch Steinberg, the Chief Rabbi of the Polish army. The majority were interned at three Soviet camps (Kozielsk, Starobielsk and Ostaszków) before being taken to NKVD mass murder sites, where they were executed and buried in mass graves.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baruch_Steinberg
Although the killings took place at several different locations in Soviet Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, the massacre is named after the Katyń forest in the Smolensk Oblast of western Russia where the graves of the Kozielsk prisoners were discovered in 1943. The exact fate of the other victims and the location of their graves was not confirmed until five decades later. After the discovery of the Katyń burial site the USSR denied responsibility for the massacre and tried to blame it on the Germans, and continued to lie about the killings for 50 years until finally admitting Soviet guilt in 1990 and revealing where the remaining victims were buried.
It eventually became possible to exhume and identify the bodies from the mass murder sites at Charków (Kharkiv), where the NKVD murdered the prisoners who were interned at Starobielsk, and Miednoje (Mednoye), where the NKVD murdered the prisoners who were interned at Ostaszków - as well as other locations such as Bykownia (Bykivnia).
Most of the Ostaszków prisoners were killed by Beria's chief executioner Vasily Blokhin, who was awarded the Order of the Red Banner by Stalin at the end of April 1940 for demonstrating "skill and organisation in the effective carrying out of special tasks".
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Blokhin
Although several other ex-members of the NKVD eventually confessed to participating in the Katyń massacre, none of the perpetrators were ever brought to justice, and neither the Soviet government nor successive governments of Russia have ever permitted a full investigation of this war crime.
There's also no shortage of vatniks, tankies and other useful idiots out there who are still in denial about it, even though claims that the murders were carried out by the Germans have zero credibility and have been comprehensively debunked (it's actually impossible for the Polish prisoners interned at Ostaszków - who disappeared without trace in 1940 and whose bodies were found in Miednoje in 1991 - to have been captured, killed and buried by the Germans, who never reached either of these locations in Russia at any time during World War 2)....

The monument in Gunnersbury Cemetery was unveiled on 18th September 1976 after much delay. The Polish community in London had tried in vain to get permission to create a memorial to the victims of the Katyń massacre for many years, which was prevented by successive British governments, bowing to Soviet pressure. No government representative was present at the opening ceremony.

I have had the good fortune to work in Dun Laoghaire for about fifteen years.
Dún Laoghaire is a suburban seaside town in County Dublin, about 12 km (7.5 miles) south of Dublin city centre. Formerly a major port of entry from Britain, from 1821 to 1920 it was named Kingstown.
The town's name means "fort of Laoghaire". This refers to Lóegaire mac Néill (modern spelling: Laoghaire Mac Néill), a 5th-century High King of Ireland, who chose the site as a sea base from which to carry out raids on Britain and Gaul. Traces of fortifications from that time have been found on the coast, and some of the stone is kept in the Maritime Museum.
The name is sometimes unofficially spelt as Dún Laoire or Dún Laoighre. In some cases, the old anglicised spelling Dunleary is seen … this is also how the town's name is commonly pronounced.
The harbour, one of the largest in the country, is notable for its two granite piers. The East Pier is particularly popular with walkers, and was featured in the 1996 movie Michael Collins, where Liam Neeson (as Collins) and two of his co-stars are seen walking along a seaside promenade, which is actually the Dún Laoghaire East Pier. A band is seen playing on a bandstand in this movie scene, and this is the actual bandstand on the East Pier. The bandstand was restored to its original condition in 2010 by the Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company.
It took 42 years to construct the harbour, from 1817 to 1859. The obelisk near the old ferryport terminal at the harbour commemorates the construction of this harbour.
A lighthouse was at the end of the East Pier, while the new headquarters of the Commissioners of Irish Lights (the General Lighthouse Authority for Ireland) is on Harbour Road.
South of the harbour is Scotsman's Bay, where there was a Victorian seaside amusement area, with walks, shelters and baths. The walks and shelters are largely intact. The Dún Laoghaire Baths have been derelict for many years, but were repainted in bright colours in 2012. Plans for restoration of this area are much debated, and some of the more ambitious ideas have been highly controversial.
A traditional Victorian-style park, the People's Park, is at the eastern end of George's Street, and including still-functioning tea rooms.
At least one traditional "cabman's shelter" survives [I photographed two] – these were small buildings built for the drivers of horse-drawn taxis.

Das Schloss Oberhofen ist ein Schloss in der Gemeinde Oberhofen am T.hunersee im
Berner Oberland im Kanton Bern in der Schweiz.
.
.
.
Es gehörte einst Walter IV. von E.schenbach, der 1308 zusammen mit weiteren
Verschwörern König Albrecht von H.absburg ermordete.
.
.
Der Bergfried stammt aus dem 12. Jahrhundert, der Palas mit der K.apelle aus dem
15. Jahrhundert.
Im 14. Jahrhundert gelangte das Schloss an die H.absburger und wurde nach der
S.chlacht bei S.empach von bernischen Truppen besetzt.
Die Burg und die dazugehörende Herrschaft gingen zuerst an die Familie von
S.charnachtal und danach an andere bernische Patriziergeschlechter über.
1652 bis 1798 war das Schloss Sitz eines bernischen Landvogts und gelangte 1801
in P.rivatbesitz.
1954 wurde hier eine Z.weigstelle des H.istorischen M.useums B.ern eröffnet.

An seinem nördlichen A.usfluss, der A.are, liegt die namengebende S.tadt T.hun.
Nach der letzten E.iszeit bildete sich dort, wo heute zwei Seen liegen, der so genannte
Wendelsee. Durch A.blagerungen von G.eschiebe der verschiedenen B.ergbäche (vor allem
durch den L.ombach und die L.ütschine) bildete sich ungefähr in der M.itte des Sees eine
E.bene, das „B.ödeli“, auf der heute die G.emeinden I.nterlaken, M.atten und U.nterseen
liegen. Diese S.chwemmebene teilte den See in den Thuner- und den B.rienzersee.
.
.
Bei Normalwasserstand liegt der Seespiegel auf 558m. Der Thunersee hat ein E.inzugsgebiet
von 2500 km². Bei längeren, starken N.iederschlägen kann er über die U.fer treten, da die
A.bflusskapazität der A.are nur beschränkt ist.
Diese wichtige Staufunktion des Thunersees erspart der tiefergelegen S.tadt B.ern
einige Ü.berschwemmungen, führt in T.hun hingegen hin und wieder zu Problemen.
Der maximale A.bfluss beträgt 345 m³ pro Sekunde, der mittlere A.bfluss liegt bei 110 m³/s.
Sein H.auptzufluss, die A.are, wird im S.üdosten vom 6 Meter höhergelegenen B.rienzersee
gespeist.

The 29th Annual AXA Raheny 5 Mile Road Race 2013 took place in Raheny Village, Dublin, Ireland on Sunday January 27th 2013 at 15:00. There was also an earlier set of junior/childrens races at 14:00 and the walkers' race at 14:40. The 'Raheny 5' has become one of the most famous road races in Ireland. The race has continued to grow year-on-year and this year was no exception. Almost 3,000 participants took part in the various events of the day. The incredible voluntary organisational work carried out by Raheny Shamrocks and the local community in staging the race every year must be acknowledged.
The weather was postively wintery today. There was an icy wind blowing into the face of the runners at various points in the course. This made for some very variable mile-splits. Overall the weather was favourable in that the rain stayed away and there was some helpful 'wind at the back' for the runners in places.
This is a large set of photographs where images are captured from the ONE MILE Mark and at the finish straight with about 300 Meters remaining (up to an overall finish time of 55 minutes). The overall winners where Joe Sweeney and Mary Cullen.
How can I get a full resolution copy of these photographs?
All of the photographs here on this Flickr set have a visible watermark embedded in them. All of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available, free, at no cost, at full resolution WITHOUT watermark. We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. We do not know of any other photographers who operate such a policy. 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+, Google Orkut etc or (2) other websites, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us. This also means the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a wall post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other 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.
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. 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 below.
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.
Please note: that we cannot be responsible for the content of any external links (outside of our Flickr account) as we have no control over them. Links are provided for your information only. Responsibility lies solely with the operators of these websites.
