This is a photograph from a set of photographs taken at the St. Coca's AC 5KM Road Race 2019 which was held in Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 20:00 on Friday 28th June 2019. 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. Over the last 10 to 15 years Kilcock has undergone very extensive and development particularly in housing. However, the race route has almost remained untouched by this.
One of the usual features of tonight's race was the very warm temperatures. Following on from the heatwave temperatures of 2018 the weather was warm, sunny and dry for road racing with a temperature of around 18C.
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 very hot 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.

Overvoorde is een buitenplaats in de Nederlandse plaats Rijswijk (Zuid-Holland).
Hoewel er al in de 12e eeuw een geslacht met de naam Overvoort in Rijswijk leefde, is de naam van het landgoed met de naam Overvoorde pas in de 17e eeuw ontstaan.
Jan Jacobsz van Hogenhouck, burgemeester van Delft, nam in 1559 een stuk land met woning over van Otger Cornelis. Van Hogenhoucks dochter Alide trouwde met Jacob Ewoutsz. van der Dussen, eveneens bestuurder van Delft. In 1623 liet hun zoon Ewout van der Dussen, net als zijn vader en grootvader een belangrijk bestuurder, een herenhuis bouwen en transformeerde het land tot een buitenplaats, dat hij de naam Overvoorde gaf. [1] Het landgoed bleef tot 1777 in handen van het geslacht Van der Dussen, waarna het door vererving in het bezit kwam van mr. Jacob van Vredenburch. Deze breidde het landgoed uit met de grond van de aansluitende buitenplaats Outshoorn. Hij bouwde bovendien de buitenplaats De Voorde en kocht in 1802 Steenvoorde. Jacobs zoon Johan Willem, die de eerste burgemeester van Rijswijk na de Franse tijd werd, heeft zijn stempel op het landgoed gezet. Het uiterlijk van het landgoed, zoals het er nu nog is, is voor een belangrijk deel door hem bepaald.
De familie van Vredenburch heeft tot 1931 op Overvoorde gewoond, waarna de gemeente Den Haag het landgoed kocht. In de tweede wereldoorlog bouwden de Duitsers een aantal bunkers in het park, die na de oorlog door de BB zijn gebruikt. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog kreeg Overvoorde de functie van jeugdcentrum en conferentieoord. Het landhuis is gerestaureerd en het park is voor het publiek toegankelijk.
Pichavaram, Chidambaram, Cuddalore.
Pichavaram is a village near Chidambaram in Cuddalore District. The area is surrounded by Mangrove forests which is the world’s second largest by area.
It is located between the Vellar estuary in the north and Coleroon estuary in the south. The Vellar-Coleroon estuarine complex forms the Killai backwater and the mangroves that are permanently rooted in a few feet of water.
Pichavaram consists of a number of islands interspersing a vast expanse of water covered with mangroves. The area is about 1100 hectare and is separated from the Bay of Bengal by a sand bar.
The biotope consists of species like Avicennia and Rhizophora. It also supports the existence of rare varieties of economically important shell and finfishes.
Samarkand is a city in southeastern Uzbekistan and among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia. Samarkand is the capital of the Samarkand Region and a district-level city, that includes the urban-type settlements Kimyogarlar, Farhod and Khishrav. With 551,700 inhabitants (2021)] it is the third-largest city in Uzbekistan.
There is evidence of human activity in the area of the city dating from the late Paleolithic Era. Though there is no direct evidence of when Samarkand was founded, several theories propose that it was founded between the 8th and 7th centuries BC. Prospering from its location on the Silk Road between China, Persia and Europe, at times Samarkand was one of the largest cities in Central Asia, and was an important city of the empires of Greater Iran. By the time of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, it was the capital of the Sogdian satrapy. The city was conquered by Alexander the Great in 329 BC, when it was known as Markanda, which was rendered in Greek as Μαράκανδα. The city was ruled by a succession of Iranian and Turkic rulers until it was conquered by the Mongols under Genghis Khan in 1220.
The city is noted as a centre of Islamic scholarly study and the birthplace of the Timurid Renaissance. In the 14th century, Timur made it the capital of his empire and the site of his mausoleum, the Gur-e Amir. The Bibi-Khanym Mosque, rebuilt during the Soviet era, remains one of the city's most notable landmarks. Samarkand's Registan square was the city's ancient centre and is bounded by three monumental religious buildings. The city has carefully preserved the traditions of ancient crafts: embroidery, goldwork, silk weaving, copper engraving, ceramics, wood carving, and wood painting. In 2001, UNESCO added the city to its World Heritage List as Samarkand – Crossroads of Cultures.
Modern Samarkand is divided into two parts: the old city, which includes historical monuments, shops, and old private houses; and the new city, which was developed during the days of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union and includes administrative buildings along with cultural centres and educational institutions. On 15 and 16 September 2022, the city hosted the 2022 SCO summit.
Samarkand has a multicultural and plurilingual history that was significantly modified by the process of national delimitation in Central Asia. Many inhabitants of the city are native or bilingual speakers of the Tajik language, whereas Uzbek is the official language and Russian is also widely used in the public sphere, as per Uzbekistan's language policy.

The Port Authority Building (Dutch: Havenhuis), or the Port House, is a government building located in Antwerp, Belgium, built between 2009 and 2016. It is located near the area of Eilandje, in the Port of Antwerp, and acts as the new headquarters of the Antwerp Port Authority, housing various departments. Designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, the building opened in 2016, the year of her death. It is the sole government building designed by Hadid. The design of the building incorporates the use of a fire station, integrating it into the building. Attached above and connected to the fire station is a contemporary diamond-shaped structure marked by straight edges, with an additional column providing support from the floor.
The building houses approximately 500 employees, and acts as a meeting place for international contacts of the Antwerp port community. According to the Antwerp Port Authority, the building is meant to "symbolise the dynamic, reliable, ambitious and innovative nature" of the Port of Antwerp
The expansion of the building is located directly above the renovated fire station. It has a glass-covered facade to "reflect the complex interaction of shades and colours in the air", a reference to the building's location surrounded by water. The volume measures over 100 meters in length. The expansion resembles the hull of a sailing ship, with a protruding bowspirit and the surface of the facets of a diamond facing the Kattendijk dock. This is also a reference to Antwerp's association with the diamond industry.
The exterior of the "diamond" consists of transparent and opaque triangular facets. This allowed the architects to control the amount of sunlight entering the building. The placement of the facets mimicks the nearby River Scheldt. Project manager Joris Pauwels stated that concrete pillars and 900 tonnes of steel hold the glass workspace above the former fire station. A bridge level joins the two structures and gives employees a 360-degree view of the public square and the Scheldt below.
The design of the building took energy efficiency into account, reaching a 'Very Good' BREEAM environmental rating. A borehole energy system pumps water to a depth of 80 meters below grade in over 100 locations around the building to provide heating and cooling. The company Cegelec was in charge of installing and unifying the energy networks of the two buildings, with the insertion of plastic pipes to achieve an energy storage volume of 12 cubic metres.
The restored and preserved fire truck hall contains a public reading room and a library. The whole building has a total floorplan of 12,800 square metres, with 6,600 square metres in the refurbished fire station and a further 6,200 square metres in the extension.

Carlisle Cathedral
Carlisle Cathedral is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Carlisle in Carlisle, Cumbria, England. It was founded as an Augustinian priory and became a cathedral in 1133.
Carlisle is the second smallest of England's ancient cathedrals. Its notable features include figurative stone carving, a set of medieval choir stalls and the largest window in the Flowing Decorated Gothic style in England.
Carlisle Cathedral was begun in 1122, during the reign of King Henry I, as a community of Canons Regular following the reform of the Abbey of Arrouaise in France, which followed a strict form of the canonical life, influenced by the asceticpractices of the Cistercians. Many large churches of Augustinian foundation were built in England during this period as the Archbishop of Canterbury, William de Corbeil, was a member of this order, but Carlisle is one of only four Augustinian churches in England to become a cathedral, most monastic cathedrals being Benedictine. The church was begun by Athelwold, an Englishman, who became the first prior. In 1133, the church was raised to the status of cathedral and Athelwold became the first Bishop of Carlisle (1133–55). In 1233, the cathedral priory community were joined by two friaries in the city. A Dominican friary and a Franciscan friary were founded close to the cathedral. The building was refurbished in the 13th and 14th centuries, receiving impetus from the presence of the court of Edward I in 1307.
In the 15th and early 16th centuries, the monastic buildings were renewed. With the Dissolution of the Monasteries from 1536, and the establishment by Henry VIII of the Church of England as the country's official church, the Dominican and Franciscan friaries were dissolved and Carlisle, along with the other monastic cathedrals, was run by a secular chapter like the cathedrals at Lincoln and York, which practice has continued to this day. During the time of the English Civil War, a portion of the nave of the cathedral was demolished by the Scottish Presbyterian Army in order to use the stone to reinforce Carlisle Castle. Between 1853 and 1870 Carlisle Cathedral was restored by Ewan Christian. In the early 19th century, the cathedral became the subject for a geometric analysis by Robert William Billings.
Carlisle Cathedral was commenced in 1123 as a monastic church, possibly on the foundations of an earlier church, in the Norman architectural style with solid masonry, large round piers, round arches and smallish round headed windows. These features may still be seen in the south transept and the remaining two bays of the nave, which are now used as the Chapel of the Border Regiment. The stone is the local red sandstone, which has discoloured almost to black on parts of the exterior. The building has also suffered from subsidence which is evidenced by the piers, which lean at different angles.
In the 13th century, the choir of the cathedral was rebuilt in the Gothic style, wider than the original and on a different axis. However, the new work was severely damaged in a fire in 1292, and the work was recommenced. By 1322 the arcades and the easternmost bay were complete, with the elaborate tracery and glass of the east window being in place by about 1350. The upper stages of the walls were finished, probably by the architect John Lewen who died in about 1398. The Gothic arcade has richly moulded arches with dog's tooth decoration, and the twelve capitals are carved with vegetation along with small lively figures representing the labours of the months.
The choir is roofed by a fine wooden barrel vault dating from the 14th century. In 1856 this was restored and repainted to a new design by Owen Jones. It is thought the eastern bays of the cathedral never received a stone vault because at some point the central spire blew down, and funds were required to rebuild the damaged tower and north transept, completed in about 1420.
The tracery and stained glass of the East Window
The most significant architectural feature of Carlisle Cathedral is its East Window. The tracery of this window is in the most complex of English Gothic styles, Flowing Decorated Gothic. It is the largest and most complex such window in England, being 51 feet high and 26 feet wide. It has nine lights, and tracery, which, it has been calculated, was drafted from 263 points.The tracery of the window still contains much of its original medieval glass.
Carlisle Cathedral has a fine set of 46 carved wooden choir stalls with misericords, which were installed in the early 15th century. Misericords are hinged seats, "constructed to keep the monks from falling asleep while at prayers,"and carved with numerous figures and creatures. Despite their purpose, the "pillars supporting the canopies bear traces of having been burnt, by weary monks who dropped off to sleep in the midst of their interminable devotions while holding a lighted candle in their hands." The misericords were made out of black oak, and their backs carved with scenes of the legends of St. Anthony the Hermit, St. Cuthbert, St. Augustine, and the twelve apostles, as well as mythical themes. The misericords of Carlisle include typical iconography of "half-length angels, beasts deriving from the Bestiary, hybrid creatures, and narrative scenes, including the inverted world theme of the Woman beating a Man that no decent set of misericords could be without."
The delicate gilt canopy over the High Altar is a modern work designed by Sir Charles Nicholson.
Other buildings of interest in the precinct are the Fratry dating from about 1500 and the Gatehouse of 1527. In mediaeval times the Fratry building was the dining hall of the Cathedral Priory.

This is the largest Parrotfish family. It is found in small schools in lagoons and seaward reefs, sleeping in caves and shipwrecks at night. It feeds on live corals and benthic algae.
Parrotfish are hermaphrodites and live in harems with a dominant male. They are not territorial and live in harmony with other species, often found feeding together.
They have teeth that are fused into powerful beaks which are used for grabbing filamentous algae from dead coral, often found feeding in a cloud of sediment.
This is my first attempt at a Rainmeter design....very cool program. It's fun to look at my desktop now. This was a big collection of various skins, customized in sizes, fonts and colors to fit my needs.
Whats really cool is everything actually works, has a function, and monitors things, the reticule on the Enterprise spins & so does the little Earth in the weather section.
I wanted it to be a computer screen from another station, or satellite that was monitoring the Enterprise returning home to Starbase.
Family.
Sometimes you just don't know how important family is, until they are gone. One the block my family grew up on, they've been here for nearly a century. As time has passed, luckily mine still remains on the block, however many have left the block. The images are of extended family members.
There are neighbors that lived across the street that moved in, in the 1970s, the Ingrams. A beautiful family that we have had the pleasure of knowing for half if that century since we have been here. One of the last of 3 black families that still live on the street including us. The had a celebration of life for their patriarch Mr. William Ingram, who recently passed a few weeks ago.
And even in this time of pain and sadness we still found a way to love on one another and be there for each other. It was a honor to photograph for them. Many of friends and family that attended had only known me when I was one years old, so to see me as a 25 year old man and to be able to learn about further history on the block, the interactions they had with some of my family members I never had the opportunity to meet as well their advice on just how to live reminded me just how important South Central LA is to me. How vital our history and how honored I was to be able to document them. I hope through this we see how important love is as well as preserving our own history and cementing that. Knowing that we may not live forever, but we always have something to pass down and to give to each other.
Corpus Christi is a Catholic holiday that honours the Holy Eucharist. It is also known as the Feast of the ‘Most Holy Body of Christ’, as well as the ‘Day of Wreaths’. Celebrated throughout Spain, it is held in either May or June depending on when Easter occurs; generally on the 8th Sunday after Easter. Today it is still typical for townsfolk to work alongside each other in carpeting the streets of towns and villages with greenery for the solemn Corpus Christi processions that follow. Some people may also set up beautifully decorated altars in the street which the priest - leading one of the processions - is likely to stop at later. All of this adds a special ambiance and solemnity to the occasion. Certainly in Olvera, Corpus Christi is celebrated with great enthusiasm and due reverence. Situated in the north-eastern corner of the Cadiz province and with a population of about 8,500, the beautiful Andalucian town of Olvera is one of the larger "pueblo blancos" (white villages) in the area with white houses, steep and narrow streets leading up to an old Arab fortress at the top of town. Close by is an impressive church, the 'Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación' (the Parish of Our Lady of the Incarnation). There are plenty more photos of Olvera and other Spanish towns/locations if you take a look at my 'Albums' page, www.flickr.com/photos/36623892@N00/sets/ - thank you.

This is a photograph from the 3rd running of the newly situated Irish 3/4 Marathon (formerly the Athlone 3/4) which was held in Longwood, Enfield, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 7th of October 2018 at 10:00. The event is positioned perfectly in the calendar as a key training race before the Dublin City Marathon at the end of the month. Participants are advised to use this long distance race as a preparation for the Dublin City Marathon and to pace themselves accordingly. This year was the third year that the event was held in Longwood, Co. Meath which is now well known for its hosting of the Longwood 10KM/5KM annual races and a host venue for East of Ireland Marathon series marathons several times per year. The race started and finished at Longwood GAA club just outside the village of Longwood. It followed an anti-clockwise course around the beautiful picturesque countryside of south Meath. The course went through the townlands of Longwood, Castlerickard, Killyon, Hill-of-Down, Anneville and Ashfield Clonard, Blackshade, Stoneyford and back to Longwood. The locally famous Blackshade bridge at 17 miles provided the largest climb of the day. The river Boyne and Blackwater were crossed as was the Royal Canal and the Dublin-Sligo Railway line at Hill-of-Down. The overall elevation of the course works out at 3/4 of the total elevation of the Dublin Marathon course. The south Meath countryside around the course looked on a beautiful with some lovely quiet traditional 'Irish'-type roads to run on. There was a large local effort with stewarding and many local people watched from their gardens as the race passed by. The organisation of the race was first class with every detail taken care of from the start until the finish. As usual the weather is the only variable that cannot be controlled. Subsequently, the only negative from a runners' view was the very very strong headwind from the turn at 6 miles right through Killyon and Hill-of-Down. However, other parts of the course offered a strong tailwind and flat terrain.
There is a large set of photographs from today's race mostly taken on the Ashfield road at the 25KM mark outside near our home.
They are available on our Flickr photostream at the following set. www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157674229321898

This is the end
This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear
Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath
I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea
I spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all could mean
I know that this is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart
You know that you are not alone
Need you like water in my lungs
"Play Crack the Sky" ~ Brand New
Part 1
*********************************************************************************************************
This is the first of a 3-part photo story. The lyrics are from a song by Brand New- which is almost ten years old now- scary. I hadn’t listened to it for quite some time and it randomly came up on my iPod a couple weeks ago. As I listened to the lyrics, I came up with a photo idea. I was missing one element that I knew was likely never going to work out, so I dismissed the idea. Then last Sunday, that element was suddenly smack in my face. It will be shown in the following two photos tomorrow and the day after.
Taking this particular shot was really painful. I knew the water was going to be pretty cold, but I didn’t think this cold. I only had a limited number of shots to work from for this image because I couldn’t stay in that long. My brother accompanied me on this shoot with his dog, which was cool. Usually I shoot on my own so it was nice to have some company. Although I think my brother regards me as crazy.
Werf 35 is a former municipal yard in Hilversum. It comprises a factory complex from 1916, which is still largely in almost original condition. karres+brands developed an urban concept for the transformation and redevelopment of the former city services yard into a creative incubator. The starting point of the long-term plan for Werf 35 is to preserve the spaciousness of the yard, with its distinctive and robust shed roofs, and to also integrate these in new construction so that a flexible system emerges, which gives a self-evident direction to the extensions.
Navaratri is a festival celebrating the nine forms of Goddess Durga. On the second night, Goddess Brahmacharini Devi is venerated.
Here ‘Brahma’ means meditation. The Goddess is the meditator or practitioner of penance. She is showing us how important our Sadhana and our penance is, our expression of devotion to the Divine.

Bootstrapped Brews is a celebration of the things that make Colorado the state it is today: entrepreneurship, beer and charity.
Bootstrapped Brews, now in its second year, is the annual members’ conference (21 & up) of the Bootstrapped Brews Association (BBA). It is an opportunity to connect with like-minded Colorado-area startups, to secure bragging rights for making some of the finest homebrew in town, and to help an amazing cause with 100% of proceeds benefiting Promise Ranch. It is part networking event, part competition, and completely fun. We welcome any Colorado-based company with a startup mentality and a passion for brewing.
How it works
Participating startups will be given a space and a table to set up any promotional materials they like. Additionally, startups will be provided with a bucket (for kegs or bottles) and ice to keep their beer cold. In return, each startup must brew and provide at least 5 gallons of beer by August 1st, 2015 (1 week prior to the event for judging purposes). Startups, you are also responsible for serving your beer at the event.
The bulk of the event will be unstructured, so participants can mill around, visit with fellow startups, and drink plenty of beer. Around 8:00 pm, a panel of judges will share their picks for the best brews (first, second, and third place), as well as People’s Choice, and awards will be handed out.

Westmeath, Ireland on Sunday July 24th 2022 at 11:00. Dalystown is a rural parish situated about 6 miles south of Mullingar. The race was organised by the Mullingar Harriers Athletics Club who promote the event. Timing and event management was again provided by Irish company MyRunResults. All of the results from today's race and associated media are available on their website.
The race follows a simple 'figure of 8' route. The race starts from Dalystown National School and heads north briefly to Dalystown cross-roads where there is a left turn which brings runners along the L1122 road. The only real cross-over of the route is at the 2.5 and 7.5 mile mark. The race completes a loop between 2.5 and the 7.5 mile mark which brings runners into the locality of Ballinagore. The final 2.5 miles of the race brings runners back through Cloneheigue and the final 1.5 miles of the race is along straight road heading north back to Dalystown and the finish outside of Wallace's Pub. The race start/finish/HQ are accessible from the Mullingar-Tullamore road (the N52).
The course was a mixture of long straight level sections of road with some short rolling hills which makes for a challenging but overall fair course. The race took place is rather warm temperatures for distance running with little or no breeze/wind. A temperature of around 19C was recorded at the start of the race. However some beautiful mature hedgerows along the mostly rural roads provided shade and shelter from the sun for runners. Three water stations were provided on the route to help keep participants hydrated.
This was the sixth year of the event (with a COVID-19 pandemic enforced break) with clubs from all over the North Leinster region and beyond were represented today. Refreshments were provided outside Wallace's Pub at the Finish line. Well done to Mullingar Harriers and all the many volunteers who helped make today's race a wonderful success. There is a very significant amount of volunteer organisation and work required to make a distance race like this a success.

Voronezh is a city and the administrative centre of Voronezh Oblast in southwestern Russia straddling the Voronezh River, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from where it flows into the Don River. The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk). In recent years the city has experienced rapid population growth, rising in 2021 to 1,057,681, up from 889,680 recorded in the 2010 Census, making it the 14th-most populous city in the country.
For many years, the hypothesis of the Soviet historian Vladimir Zagorovsky dominated: he produced the toponym "Voronezh" from the hypothetical Slavic personal name Voroneg. This man allegedly gave the name of a small town in the Chernigov Principality (now the village of Voronizh in Ukraine). Later, in the 11th or 12th century, the settlers were able to "transfer" this name to the Don region, where they named the second city Voronezh, and the river got its name from the city. However, now many researchers criticize the hypothesis, since in reality neither the name of Voroneg nor the second city was revealed, and usually the names of Russian cities repeated the names of the rivers, but not vice versa.
A comprehensive scientific analysis was conducted in 2015–2016 by the historian Pavel Popov. His conclusion: "Voronezh" is a probable Slavic macrotoponym associated with outstanding signs of nature, has a root voron- (from the proto-Slavic vorn) in the meaning of "black, dark" and the suffix -ezh (-azh, -ozh). It was not “transferred” and in the 8th - 9th centuries it marked a vast territory covered with black forests (oak forests) - from the mouth of the Voronezh river to the Voronozhsky annalistic forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and in the west to the Don (many forests were cut down). The historian believes that the main "city" of the early town-planning complex could repeat the name of the region – Voronezh. Now the hillfort is located in the administrative part of the modern city, in the Voronezh upland oak forest. This is one of Europe's largest ancient Slavic hillforts, the area of which – more than 9 hectares – 13 times the area of the main settlement in Kyiv before the baptism of Rus.
In it is assumed that the word "Voronezh" means bluing - a technique to increase the corrosion resistance of iron products. This explanation fits well with the proximity to the ancient city of Voronezh of a large iron deposit and the city of Stary Oskol. As well as the name of Voroneț Monastery known for its blue shade.
Folk etymology claims the name comes from combining the Russian words for raven (ворон) and hedgehog (еж) into Воронеж. According to this explanation two Slavic tribes named after the animals used this combination to name the river which later in turn provided the name for a settlement. There is not believed to be any scientific support for this explanation.
In the 16th century, the Middle Don basin, including the Voronezh river, was gradually conquered by Muscovy from the Nogai Horde (a successor state of the Golden Horde), and the current city of Voronezh was established in 1585 by Feodor I as a fort protecting the Muravsky Trail trade route against the slave raids of the Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The city was named after the river.
17th to 19th centuries
In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a sizable town. Weronecz is shown on the Worona river in Resania in Joan Blaeu's map of 1645. Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh where the Azov Flotilla was constructed for the Azov campaigns in 1695 and 1696. This fleet, the first ever built in Russia, included the first Russian ship of the line, Goto Predestinatsia. The Orthodox diocese of Voronezh was instituted in 1682 and its first bishop, Mitrofan of Voronezh, was later proclaimed the town's patron saint.
Owing to the Voronezh Admiralty Wharf, for a short time, Voronezh became the largest city of South Russia and the economic center of a large and fertile region. In 1711, it was made the seat of the Azov Governorate, which eventually morphed into the Voronezh Governorate.
In the 19th century, Voronezh was a center of the Central Black Earth Region. Manufacturing industry (mills, tallow-melting, butter-making, soap, leather, and other works) as well as bread, cattle, suet, and the hair trade developed in the town. A railway connected Voronezh with Moscow in 1868 and Rostov-on-Don in 1871.
Trosa is an adorable and well-preserved seaside town. It is located about an hour south of Stockholm and situated in Sörmlands archipelago. This area is not as exploited as other places along the Swedish Coastline.
Trosa means “World’s end” because of its location at the end of a long peninsula. It received its township in 1610, burned down in 1719 by the Russians and it has been even showcased in a German tv program called Inga Lindström.
The color is way off on this -- too purplish. One thing that I hadn't noticed until I looked at this photo -- the variegation in the outer sections shows much more so than in the inner sections. I kind of like that now that I'm looking at it, but if I'd known it would happen before I started, I would have been grumpy about it.
See my knitting blog for more details.

This is Bordesley House on Coventry Road in Bordesley, nearby Digbeth, and the Bordesley railway station.
It is at 44 - 46 Coventry Road.
It is for Family Housing.
It might date from 1915 (carving above the doorway) but can't find nothing out about this building.
No 46 Coventry Road (Bordesley House) is in Birmingham locally listed as Grade B.
This is my first attempt at a steam engine. I'm working on Denver and Rio Grande Western's Engine 489. It now operates on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. Currently, it is powered by two M-motors in the boiler, but I'm not sure if it will stay that way. It would really need traction bands to perform well. Also, the IR receiver is only temporarily located in the cab. I am going to try to fit it in the tender. As you can see there is still a lot of work that needs to be done, any comments, suggestions, and ideas are welcome. Credit to GCarstensen for the counterweights.
This is one of my favorite lots in Sims 3, recreated for Sims 4. I've always kept my Avengers family in this lot an built it as an office building, barracks, and lab space. No CC, but there is copious use of buydebug, MOO, enlarge items, unlocked career items. Note: The house façade is copied from a fantastic Sims 3 skyscraper at My Sims House, but nothing else - 99% of this lot is my design. Most of the Sims walking around are someone else’s design, but I created a few.
Just inside the front entrance to the building is reception for the business offices and barracks to the left, and a “secure” entrance to the basement labs to the right. Once inside the business office side, there is a large vaulted reception area. Through the “secure” doors on the first floor is a large common room/kitchen area and barracks for the resident agents. Upstairs are the business offices, conference room, and gym. Landing pad on the roof, pool and recreation on the patios.
This is a photograph from the start of the 36th Michael Manning Memorial "Dunshaughlin 10KM" Road Race and Fun Run which took place in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath, Ireland on Saturday 20th June 2015 at 19:30. This race is widely acknowledged within the Irish running community as one of the best races in Ireland. While being very well attended and competitive it is also one of the oldest 10KM races in Ireland. The numbers for this race have exceeded expectations year on year for the past number of years. In 2008 a record field of 306 took to the start line but by 2012 this number had more than doubled with 647 runners taking part. The starting numbers in 2013 topped this again at 668. Last year, 2014, the numbers rocketed to a new record of 883. This year 862 finished the race showing that the race continues to attract very substantial crowds. This year, as in previous years, the race attracted runners from not just all of Leinster but from the four corners of Ireland. Who knows but this race could reach 1,000 entrants next year. The work of the organising committee must be commended on making this event possible. The Dunshaughlin 10KM has earned it's place at the top of the pedestal of Irish running through the sheer hard work of Dunshaughlin AC over the years. Road race events do not survive on their own. There must be dedication, hard work and a development vision amongst the committee and the host club. Well done to all.

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.

This is a photograph from the 6th annual Longwood Village 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs 2015 which were held in Longwood Village, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 18th October 2015 at 11:00. This is the sixth year which Longwood GAA/Village have hosted race events. This year's event was an outstanding success and builds on the fantastic success of last year's race. The overall number of participants, including walkers, was over 440 which is up on last year's final numbers. There was over 220 runners and joggers in the 10KM while there was almost 200 runners, joggers and walkers in the 5KM. The events were organised as fundraisers for both the adult and juvenille teams at Longwood GAA club. The event also provided a fundraising opportunity for the local St. Vincent de Paul charity. 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.
This photograph is part of a larger set of photographs taken at the event. There were photographs taken at the start of the races and the finishes of both races in Longwood GAA. The full set is available at this link www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157660017638535
Longwood is a small village in South East Co. Meath and is close to the town of Enfield with access to the M4 Motorway. The weather was almost perfect for road running. A beautiful crisp autumn morning with dry cool conditions. 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.

Orlo is up for bids! cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300708299...
This is Orlo! He's really outgoing and sweet. He loves to eat mushrooms stuffed with cheese and bacon. Super cuddly dude! He just wants to make you laugh.
This is a one of a kind totally handmade art doll. Orlo's body is hand sewn with faux fur and stuffed with soft polyfill with plastic pellets stuffed in his bottom to help him sit by himself. The face, ears and claws are cast from lightweight but strong resin that has been hand painted and clear coated to prevents scuffs. The fur used for Orlo is a very rare, very luxurious fur.. an incredibly realistic color and quite soft.
15" ( 38 cm) tall from horn to toe tip.
The hair pieces are hand shaped wool with copper/brass wrapping and wooden beads taken from a bracelet from Botswana. Glass eyes. Necklace features an adorable but slightly sinister Russian antique metal imp pendant with quartz and stone skull beads. What does Orlo's key unlock? Ask him nicely, maybe he will tell you someday.
An iconic cinema and bingo hall is set to be demolished after plans to give it a new lease of life failed to come to fruition.
Bacup's Regal Cinema first opened on September 7 in 1931 with a total of 960 seats split between stalls and balcony. The circular Art Deco writing on the white façade once spelt out Regal but was later replaced by the word Bingo when it was transformed into a bingo hall in the late 1960s. The building was last used in the early 2000s and has remained empty ever since.
In 2020 Rossendale Borough Council revealed the cinema was one of 22 buildings set to be renovated after a successful bid of more than £1m for funding from the government's High Street Heritage Action Zone scheme. However, structural investigations later concluded the building was beyond repair, and plans have now been unveiled to demolish the cinema.
Peter Boys, of Waterfoot construction firm B&E Boys, has submitted a planning application to Rossendale Borough Council to replace the cinema with five modern commercial units. He argues the development will create employment in the town and will be named Bacup Technology Hub.
B&E Boys was founded as a joinery business in 1961. The company has grown through completing local work into a significant construction, property investment and house building company working nationally.
The firm's application includes a report from structural engineer Michael Pooler who said there was little prospect of preserving any of the original architectural features and "there are no elements of construction which could be economically saved". Structural elements such as the steelwork and timber frame are significantly deteriorated with floors having collapsed and brickwork subsiding.
In pre-application advice provided to the applicant last May, Historic England said that "the loss of such an iconic building which has important aesthetic and communal value will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the conservation area" but added: “We consider that overall the proposals could bring benefits to Bacup in providing a new employment units in the town centre and contributing to the wider economic viability of the area”. The public body, tasked with looking after England's historic environment, will submit a formal report to Rossendale Borough Council in the coming weeks.
Historic England inspector Daniel Jones said: "The loss of the Regal will harm the significance of the conservation area. One of two Art Deco buildings in Bacup, it is an iconic building. Its size, contrasting design compared to the prevalent townscape and the brilliant white glazed tile used in its front elevation give it aesthetic value.
"Having been a focal point socially throughout the majority of its existence, it will feature in the collective memory of many of the town’s inhabitants giving it important communal value."
The former cinema is one of just two Art Deco buildings in Bacup. The other is the premises which once housed Bacup Corporation Electricity Showroom.
The application to demolish the building reveals that a number of viability exercises were undertaken to assess whether it could be preserved but "it was concluded its retention would not be viable as the conservation deficit was too large".
The report adds: "The most viable option has been developed which involves the demolition of the former Regal Cinema to allow for a new build development with a commercial, industrial or technical use for the site and the demolition of the existing Regal Cinema.
