Police make arrests on the campus of George Washington University outside Monroe Hall at 21st and G Streets NW November 5, 1968 following a march protesting the presidential election being held that day.
Earlier a demonstrators against the presidential election gathered in Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C.
Close to 1,000 demonstrators marched from a football field near the Lincoln Memorial on a winding route to the park in front of the White House.
The demonstration, along with others across the country, was called by the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam and backed by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).
The protest blasted the candidates for presenting a poor choice and for not focusing on issues. None of the candidates favored an immediate end to the Vietnam War.
The marchers carried likenesses of Hubert Humphrey, Richard Nixon and George Wallace with a sign that read, “Are you kidding us?”
The crowd dwindled upon reaching Lafayette Park and police moved in to clear demonstrators despite a permit for up to 500 people.
Park police chief Grant Wright said the gathering “far exceeds 500 in my judgment.” A reporter on the scene counted 505.
According to the Washington Post, many police had removed their nametags and badges.
Those about to be arrested sat in a large group singing “we shall overcome” and other protest songs. About 80 were arrested.
The remaining protesters regrouped near George Washington University where a brief confrontation between protesters and police resulted in more arrests. Later in the night about 150 protesters gathered and again had a brief confrontation with police.
Elsewhere, clashes with police occurred in New York City and Newark. Students seized a building in Ann Arbor, Mi. while 2,000 marched in Boston.
In Waterville, Maine 150 students holding signs reading “Choice???” shouted at Sen. Edward Muskie and his wife as they went to vote. 50 members of the Black Student Union at Claremont Men’s College in California blocked traffic calling the election “a farce.” A draft card burning demonstration was held at Hubert Humphrey’s home in Minnesota.

Un aporte clave que ha permitido incentivar programas como Jóvenes en Acción y focalizar la inversión en temas educativos, ha facilitado el Mapa Social herramienta creada en 2013 por Prosperidad Social, el Banco de Desarrollo de América Latina (CAF) y Microsoft. Así lo destacó el director de la entidad, Nemesio Roys Garzón, durante el evento "Convergencias educativas: Aprendizajes sobre la inversión social en educación".
Al participar en el conversatorio "¿Quiénes invierten y quiénes reciben inversión en educación?", Roys Garzón presentó una radiografía sobre el impacto de las intervenciones sociales y explicó que de los más de 14.000 proyectos registrados en Mapa Social por parte de actores privados, públicos y cooperantes, educación participa con el 13.88%, después de infraestructura y cultura.
"Los aprendizajes brindados por la herramienta con la que podemos por ejemplo consultar, más de 2.000 proyectos ejecutados por el sector privado en temas de educación en 31 departamentos, nos ha permitido contrastarlos con las necesidades en la dimensión de educación del Índice de Pobreza Multidimensional en cada región, evitando además la duplicidad de esfuerzos en territorio redireccionando la inversión en territorios donde más se necesita", aseguró el director Roys Garzón.
Se han documentado 62 casos c onsiderados ejemplo de buenas prácticas como la Escuela Activa Urbana de la Fundación Luker, proyecto que responde a la problemática de alta deserción escolar y baja calidad de la educación pública en Manizales. Del proyecto se benefician 12 mil niños, niñas y adolescentes entre los 6 y 17 años de población vulnerable y es reconocido por sus altos niveles de calidad y por el trabajo conjunto entre las distintas organizaciones y esferas sociales involucradas.
Mapa Social es una plataforma web que contiene 400 indicadores sociales divididos en diferentes categorías (salud, educación, pobreza, servicios financieros, finanzas departamentales) que facilitan la búsqueda de cifras y permiten conocer las necesidades de la población con datos de más de 2.700 organizaciones privadas, 362 públicas, 33 mixtas, 182 cooperantes y de más de 14.600 proyectos. Se han formalizado 150 alianzas con empresas del sector privado.
Unos 200 líderes y representantes de organizaciones públicas y privadas tomaron parte de este encuentro entre ellos la Ministra de Educación y directivos de empresas como el Grupo Sura, la Fundación Empresarios por la Educación, Fundación FORD, Proantioquia, la Fundación ANDI, así como representantes del sector académico.
Finalmente, el director Roys Garzón exaltó el trabajo que se viene desarrollando con las fundaciones Ford y Empresarios por la Educación, la ANDI y otras organizaciones, a través de alianzas o actividades de capacitación para mejorar la articulación entre diferentes actores que desean contribuir a brindar mejores herramientas y condiciones en favor de la educación. / Jun. 07, 2017.

In response to the Congressional budget debacle which proved that DC is but a colony -- prone to being singled out unlike any other city in the country -- a number of activists, elected officials, and general citizens came out in force upon the grounds of Capitol Hill.
The crowd first formed on the sidewalk, but after some opening remarks by elected officials and activists: they quickly spilled into the street. The Capitol Police had been on hand & I'd thought it amusing that a couple were taking photos & videos... it wasn't until I saw the wristbands come out when I realised these weren't officers enjoying the moment; they were recording evidence.
With many minutes of warning, large portions of the group shifted over the sidewalk; whilst a core of dedicated supporters -- including our Mayor, a number of councilmembers, and members of DC Vote -- remained behind to block the roadway. The officers began to surround the group & repeated their warnings to get back on the sidewalk or face arrest.
Now in all fairness to the Capitol Police: they were doing their job. They were quite courteous about it & the protest was similarly jubilant right back. One woman was first to be bound, soon followed by several other activists. Then came Muriel Bowser: first councilmember to be arrested.
In general, I tend to dislike political grandstanding... but this was different. If our council was being arrested by our own police, I'd think it a cheesy photo op... but now our locally-elected officials were being arrested by the very forces we were out to protest: the Feds. This wasn't a mere photo op arrest; this was actually a legitimate arrest... the kind of thing that goes on your record; the kind of thing you spent a night in jail for.
Now granted, I don't expect anyone will be in jail longer than tomorrow; I'd be surprised if any were still locked up by midnight tonight. But it was Councilmember Bowser's arrest which really hit a moment... you could see the look on her face was of some worried concern: someone who had never been arrested before & didn't show up here today expecting to be arrested. As she was placed into the police van: her look of concern changed to a bit more worry. I mean this as no knock against Councilmember Bowser's committment; rather I felt it really help to humanise the entire event. It made me respect her all the more.
Yvette Alexander stood right beside us for quite some time, complicated in that she didn't have her ID on her. While it was entertaining to see our top officials being frisked, it was also quite entertaining that our easily-recognisable councilmember needed her ID... prompting a standerby to call one of her staffers with the best introduction I've ever heard over a phone: "Hi, your councilmember has been arrested." Also, kudos to Councilmember Alexander for going to jail in high heels!
There is a lot I can complain about with the council in general; and certainly with individual councilmembers & even the mayor. Heck, that's what politicians are for: you're not supposed to always like them. But this was an opportunity to set aside some of those issues (frankly, I'd say DC was glad to have a unifying moment after the past couple weeks) and cheer on our own brothers & sisters as they stood up in support of our rights.
It was certainly a proud moment to be a DC resident and a fine boost to our collective esteem after several weeks of turmoil within our local & federal levels of government. It's aggravating that my support for small & local government is inhibited by those in Congress whom advocate small & local government. If I wanted to live in a colony, I'd have moved to Williamsburg.

The control of the departure permit for trains by signals are gradually disabled. The operation of these orange boxes by the train attendants has been replaced by SMS on the duty telephone. Some of the boxes are already removed or deactivated and marked with a label: For departure permit use SMS. The boxes were manufactured by a company Schnyder, as can be seen at the top left.

Arriba: Destino incierto para la línea H. Por ahora y, viendo como viene la mano, para fin de año terminaría en Lavalle y Av. Pueyrredón. La línea H actualmente corre entre Av. Caseros y Plaza Once.
Ingresó a la comisión de Presupuesto de la Legislatura porteña el proyecto del Ejecutivo que busca permitir a la empresa estatal porteña de autopistas utilizar parte de los fondos del Bono Tango destinados a la ampliación del Subte, para la construcción de pasos bajo nivel. En el macrismo buscan discutir el proyecto y llevarlo al recinto antes de agosto. En la oposición ponen requisitos y exigen aplicar sobre AUSA una comisión de control.

Si no contesto la petición de las fotos, quiere decir que no estoy interesado en la oferta (petición válida solo para aquellos que residan en Capital Federal y alrededores).
Pasar 150 millones de dólares de las cuentas del Banco Ciudad, donde hoy están depositados parte de los fondos que ingresaron a la Ciudad en abril por el Bono Tango aprobado en la Legislatura para obras de ampliación del Subte, a la empresa estatal AUSA es el nuevo objetivo del macrismo. El proyecto del ejecutivo para permitir el endeudamiento de la Sociedad Anónima ingresó a la Comisión de Presupuesto. Desde la oposición negocian acompañar, pero con modificaciones. Entre los requisitos estarían la creación de una comisión de control sobre AUSA y un fondo específico constante para la ampliación de las líneas de Subte.
Por ser una Sociedad Anónima, AUSA tiene mayores libertades burocráticas y menor control en los llamados a licitación, contrataciones y gastos. Desde la oposición advierten que este sería el motivo por el cual el macrismo busca realizar las obras a través de AUSA y no de forma directa. Por eso, entonces, es que los diputados del ibarrismo y la Coalición Cívica propondrían modificaciones sustanciales al proyecto oficial, entre ellas la creación de la comisión auditora.
Si bien aún no hay ninguna definición, en el Pro buscan instalar el tema y apurar los tiempos de la oposición para que formalice una propuesta alternativa y el cambio del destino de parte de los fondos del bono Tango pueda votarse antes de agosto. Esos fondos fueron asignados en Marzo, para la ampliación de la red de subterráneos y el cambio de destino se debe, en parte, a los constantes atrasos en el comienzo de licitación de la Línea H de Subtes para construír los tramos Norte (de estación Corrientes a Plaza Francia) y Sur (de estación Parque Patricios a Pompeya). Aunque estas obras debían haberse licitado en diciembre de 2009, por diferencias en la forma de hacer el llamado entre el ministro de Desarrollo Urbano, Daniel Chain, y el presidente de Sbase, Juan Pablo Piccardo, aún ni se aprobaron los pliegos. Serían esos 150 millones los que el Ejecutivo buscaría destinar a AUSA.
En 2010 los diputados porteños autorizaron al Gobierno de Mauricio Macri a tomar deuda pública por 500 millones de dólares. Ese préstamo tenía un destino específico: 200 millones irían para el Fondo de Infraestructura Social (FOISO) y 300 para la construcción de la Línea H y nuevas estaciones en las Líneas A y B de Subtes. Desde que llegó el dinero en abril hasta que termine julio, Sbase utilizaría unos 65 millones de dólares de los 300 y alcanzaría a ejecutar un total de 150 de acuerdo a las obras ya licitadas.
Con esos 150 millones de dólares, unos 600 millones de pesos, el Gobierno de la Ciudad buscaría construir unos 25 pasos bajo nivel y pavimento de calles que permitan aumentar la conectividad de autopistas. Para este último punto se destinarían unos 160 millones de pesos directamente al ministerio de espacio y Ambiente público que conduce Diego Santilli.
En su artículo primero el proyecto del Ejecutivo dispone: "Autorízase a Autopistas Urbanas S.A. (en adelante AUSA) a celebrar operaciones de financiamiento/endeudamiento por hasta la suma de pesos seiscientos millones ($ 600.000.000,-) con fondos provenientes de operaciones de crédito público".
Mientras que en el segundo, especifica que "el destino de los fondos tendrán por objeto el financiamiento, mejoramiento y ejecución de obras nuevas que faciliten la interconectividad entre las distintas áreas de la ciudad, el desplazamiento entre y por las vías secundarias, y la integración de estas con la red de autopistas y vías interconectadas".
AUSA es una sociedad anónima, cuyo accionista principal es el Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires con 95% del paquete accionario y el 5% restante pertenece al sistema de Subterráneos porteño.
La empresa necesita acceder a los recursos para mejorar los accesos a la ciudad de Buenos Aires por donde ingresan unos 800 mil coches todos los días .
El tránsito promedio en los tramos gratuitos de las autopistas y avenidas que AUSA conserva y mantiene es de 500.000 vehículos diarios (Dellepiane, 9 de Julio Sur, Presidente Cámpora, Cantilo y Lugones).
En tanto, el promedio diario de tránsito en las autopistas con sistema de peaje (25 de Mayo, Perito Moreno y Arturo Illia) que AUSA explota y administra es de aproximadamente 300.000 vehículos.

These days I continued to make photographic hay while the permit sun is shining since additional Covid-19 lockdowns seem to be looming. The target for last weekend was the R Pond complex starting south of Bedwell Bayfront Park in Menlo Park and continuing down to the Facebook Headquarters. This set of fallow salt ponds has always presented photographically interesting colors and textures – testimony to residual salt dating back to their production days. However, change is coming as the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project has construction underway in the area.
Sometime next year, Salt Pond R4 should be once again connected to the tides and this will start its slow transformation back into marshland. R4’s neighbor, Salt Pond R3 will be managed to provide a dry, exposed pond suitable for Snowy Plover habitat. These two ponds were once separated by a brine distribution canal. Construction is currently underway to fill that canal thus creating an impressively wide levee with a shallow slope facing R4.
The weather made this photo session doubly challenging due to an overcast sky and highly variable winds. After hiking out to the R3/R4 levee, I found myself in a dead calm. When the wind began to stir out of the north I was able to launch my 8.5-foot, lightweight Rokkaku and this marvel was able to lift the Canon M3 cradle in an almost imperceptible wind. Unfortunately, the wind continued to build and the 8.5-foot kite was considerably overpowered about 20 minutes into the photo session. The phrase “pulling like a mule” comes to mind as in these conditions the principal concern is kite spar failure, which might strand my camera gear somewhere downwind. So, I swapped out for the 7.5-foot Rokkaku at the southern end of the levee which, of course, prompted slack wind from the breeze gods. The answer here was waiting patiently for 15 minutes anticipating the return of the breeze. When it returned, I continued the photo session and by the time I walked back to the northern end of the levee the 7.5-foot kite was overpowered. Again the mule.
In terms of light, it was a predominantly overcast day with generous hints of smoke due to an inversion layer. Now and then, the sun would peek through a gap in the clouds and this was delightful. But, for the large part it was a hazy, sober light. I look forward to reshooting on a brighter day.
I am taking these documentary photographs under a Special Use Permit from the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge. Kite flying is prohibited over the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge without a Special Use Permit.
En el marco de los Honores a la Bandera, que se realizaron en la Primaria “Centenario 1867-1967” ubicada en la Delegación Centro Histórico, la Presidenta Municipal de Querétaro, Ma. del Carmen Zúñiga Hernández hizo un llamado a niños, jóvenes y sociedad en general para conformar un gran equipo y vivir los valores, que permitan construir un mejor Querétaro y un mejor país.
Ante más de 400 alumnos y personal docente, reflexionó sobre el significado de los valores, “Díganme ustedes ¿Qué es un valor? un valor es un bien que elegimos de manera libre y consciente. Y hoy, México necesita que ustedes sus jóvenes elijan vivir con valores, para cambiarle la cara a nuestro querido país. Que elijan ser buenos hijos, buenos amigos, buenos estudiantes, y buenos ciudadanos. Que elijan vivir sanos y fuertes, cerca del deporte, la cultura y los valores que les permiten ser felices y alejados del ocio y de los vicios, que destruyen nuestro cuerpo y nuestra mente y muchas veces a nuestra familia y a nuestra sociedad.”
De igual manera, Zúñiga Hernández, enfatizó “¿Por qué creen que es importante esta ceremonia? En primer lugar, porque por medio de los Honores a la Bandera expresamos nuestro respeto y nuestro amor a México, exaltando nuestros símbolos patrios y fomentando valores cívicos. En segundo lugar, porque por medio de esta ceremonia, alumnos, maestros, directivos y autoridades municipales trabajamos en equipo, descubriendo que la participación de todos es necesaria para mejorar como País. Y en tercer lugar, porque estamos convencidos de que impulsar la educación y la formación en valores, de niños y jóvenes como ustedes, es la clave para que México tenga un rostro más humano.”
Durante la ceremonia, la Alcaldesa, señaló “Precisamente con el objetivo de apoyarlos e impulsar su tarea diaria, hoy vengo con mi equipo de colaboradores a entregarles el tramo lateral de la barda perimetral, obra que da seguridad y confianza a alumnos, docentes y padres de familia. Como lo dijo su director, la barda no estaba totalmente destruida, pero vimos que había un riesgo para todos ustedes, les quiero decir que todo aquello que implique un riesgo para los niños, jóvenes y ciudadanos de Querétaro Capital, estaremos muy atentos para protegerlos. Invertimos 150 mil pesos en esta obra, en beneficio de más de 700 alumnos para mejorar su infraestructura educativa, pero sobre todo, para decirles que queremos seguir formando un gran equipo con todos ustedes.”
También, destacó que el próximo 24 de febrero se celebrará el Día de la Bandera, “Es el símbolo más importante de Nuestra Patria. Nuestra Enseña Nacional, es el producto de la evolución y las luchas que ha sostenido nuestro país en diferentes etapas, por alcanzar su pleno desarrollo como Nación. Poco a poco se ha concretizado en el Lábaro Patrio nuestra realidad, conjuntando los elementos tradicionales e históricos en su escudo, con el águila posada en un nopal devorando a una serpiente y en sus colores, el verde, que simboliza la esperanza del pueblo, el blanco, que representa la pureza de sus ideales y el rojo, que simboliza la sangre derramada por los héroes patrios”.
Finalmente, felicitó al Director Federico Montes, “Por seguir conservando nuestras tradiciones, porque me dio mucho gusto que durante los Honores agregaron una canción dedicada a la Patria. Espero que en nuestras escuelas federales donde con mucho orgullo nos formaron, sigamos promoviendo la poesía coral. Sigan preparándose día con día, elijan vivir valores y demuestren su gran amor a México.”
Por su parte, Tonatiuh Cervantes Curiel, Secretario de Desarrollo Social, resaltó “En Querétaro Capital, tenemos como tarea hacer un gran equipo que nos permita seguir construyendo una gran Ciudad con calidad de vida y oportunidades para todos. Hoy venimos precisamente a honrar ese compromiso con todos ustedes, que desde hace más de 14 años los gobiernos humanistas permiten realizar por lo que consideramos la mejor inversión para el futuro de México: la Educación. Por ello hoy, por instrucciones de nuestra Presidenta Municipal estamos desarrollando y continuando con este proyecto, que tiene como único objetivo mejorar la calidad de educativa en las escuelas.”
“Quiero hacer referencia a un pensamiento de Edmund Burke, un economista y parlamentario inglés, que decía que ‘la educación es la menos cara de las defensas de una nación’. Me gusta esta frase, porque si cada mexicano se compromete con estos valores y principios, si cada mexicano, lucha por alcanzar sus sueños trabajando honradamente y ayudándose unos a otros, seremos un país más fuerte, con mejores oportunidades y con la capacidad construir un gran equipo juntos. Aquí hay futuros ciudadanos, hombres y mujeres que estudian para defender a su país con las armas de la inteligencia valores y principios”, agregó Cervantes Curiel.
En su intervención, Jesús Arredondo Velázquez, Delegado del Centro Histórico, dijo “El Escudo y la Bandera, así como el Himno Nacional, son símbolos máximos de nuestra mexicanidad son resultado de los procesos históricos que han conformado nuestra identidad nacional, constituyen la expresión de nuestro origen y representan el espíritu que reúne a todos los mexicanos como Nación. Éste es el compromiso de Querétaro Capital, la promoción y difusión en valores y actos cívicos. Nuestro compromiso es incrementar la calidad educativa con los apoyos de infraestructura de equipo para el desarrollo de nuestra niñez y juventud del Municipio.”
Asimismo, Arredondo Velázquez, hizo una mención especial al Ejército, “Aunque ya mencionaron las efemérides de la semana, hay que recordar que el día de ayer 19 de febrero se celebró el “Día del Ejército”, una institución leal, de servicio, honorable y sobre todo, formada en valores que deben fomentarse y preservarse en los ciudadanos de nuestro México”, recalcó.
Al hacer uso de la palabra, Federico Montes Medina, Director de la Primaria “Centenario 1867-1967”, expresó “Presidenta Municipal, Carmelita Zúñiga, a nombre de la Escuela Centenario, a nombre de todo el alumnado, de mis compañeros maestros y de todos los que laboramos en este institución queremos agradecerle su presencia el día de hoy en nuestro edificio y sobre todo, con el beneplácito del apoyo recibido por parte de ustedes del Municipio de Querétaro. Es nuestra barda perimetral que aunque aparentemente estaba en buen estado, sí constituía ya un riesgo para nuestros alumnos y esto viene a apoyar la seguridad en nuestro alumnado.”
Estuvieron presentes en el evento, Miguel Parrodi Espinosa, Síndico Municipal; Tonatiuh Silva Granados y Jesús Pozas García, Regidores del H. Ayuntamiento; Luis Bernardo Nava Guerrero, Secretario de Gobierno; Juan Marcos Granados Torres, Secretario de Seguridad Pública; José de la Garza Pedraza, Secretario de Servicios Públicos; Fernando González Salinas, Secretario de Obras Públicas; Sandra Diez Alvarado, Coordinadora del Copladem; Martha Yáñez Carbajo, Directora del Sistema Municipal DIF; Jorge Echanove Carrillo, Director de Inspección; y Alex Calvillo Salgado, Director de Gobernación; entre otros funcionarios.

The officers began to surround the group & repeated their warnings to get back on the sidewalk or face arrest.
Now in all fairness to the Capitol Police: they were doing their job. They were quite courteous about it & the protest was similarly jubilant right back. One woman was first to be bound, soon followed by several other activists. Then came Muriel Bowser: first councilmember to be arrested.
In general, I tend to dislike political grandstanding... but this was different. If our council was being arrested by our own police, I'd think it a cheesy photo op... but now our locally-elected officials were being arrested by the very forces we were out to protest: the Feds. This wasn't a mere photo op arrest; this was actually a legitimate arrest... the kind of thing that goes on your record; the kind of thing you spent a night in jail for.
Now granted, I don't expect anyone will be in jail longer than tomorrow; I'd be surprised if any were still locked up by midnight tonight. But it was Councilmember Bowser's arrest which really hit a moment... you could see the look on her face was of some worried concern: someone who had never been arrested before & didn't show up here today expecting to be arrested. As she was placed into the police van: her look of concern changed to a bit more worry. I mean this as no knock against Councilmember Bowser's committment; rather I felt it really help to humanise the entire event. It made me respect her all the more.
Yvette Alexander stood right beside us for quite some time, complicated in that she didn't have her ID on her. While it was entertaining to see our top officials being frisked, it was also quite entertaining that our easily-recognisable councilmember needed her ID... prompting a standerby to call one of her staffers with the best introduction I've ever heard over a phone: "Hi, your councilmember has been arrested." Also, kudos to Councilmember Alexander for going to jail in high heels!
There is a lot I can complain about with the council in general; and certainly with individual councilmembers & even the mayor. Heck, that's what politicians are for: you're not supposed to always like them. But this was an opportunity to set aside some of those issues (frankly, I'd say DC was glad to have a unifying moment after the past couple weeks) and cheer on our own brothers & sisters as they stood up in support of our rights.
It was certainly a proud moment to be a DC resident and a fine boost to our collective esteem after several weeks of turmoil within our local & federal levels of government. It's aggravating that my support for small & local government is inhibited by those in Congress whom advocate small & local government. If I wanted to live in a colony, I'd have moved to Williamsburg.

These days I continued to make photographic hay while the permit sun is shining since additional Covid-19 lockdowns seem to be looming. The target for last weekend was the R Pond complex starting south of Bedwell Bayfront Park in Menlo Park and continuing down to the Facebook Headquarters. This set of fallow salt ponds has always presented photographically interesting colors and textures – testimony to residual salt dating back to their production days. However, change is coming as the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project has construction underway in the area.
Sometime next year, Salt Pond R4 should be once again connected to the tides and this will start its slow transformation back into marshland. R4’s neighbor, Salt Pond R3 will be managed to provide a dry, exposed pond suitable for Snowy Plover habitat. These two ponds were once separated by a brine distribution canal. Construction is currently underway to fill that canal thus creating an impressively wide levee with a shallow slope facing R4.
The weather made this photo session doubly challenging due to an overcast sky and highly variable winds. After hiking out to the R3/R4 levee, I found myself in a dead calm. When the wind began to stir out of the north I was able to launch my 8.5-foot, lightweight Rokkaku and this marvel was able to lift the Canon M3 cradle in an almost imperceptible wind. Unfortunately, the wind continued to build and the 8.5-foot kite was considerably overpowered about 20 minutes into the photo session. The phrase “pulling like a mule” comes to mind as in these conditions the principal concern is kite spar failure, which might strand my camera gear somewhere downwind. So, I swapped out for the 7.5-foot Rokkaku at the southern end of the levee which, of course, prompted slack wind from the breeze gods. The answer here was waiting patiently for 15 minutes anticipating the return of the breeze. When it returned, I continued the photo session and by the time I walked back to the northern end of the levee the 7.5-foot kite was overpowered. Again the mule.
In terms of light, it was a predominantly overcast day with generous hints of smoke due to an inversion layer. Now and then, the sun would peek through a gap in the clouds and this was delightful. But, for the large part it was a hazy, sober light. I look forward to reshooting on a brighter day.
I am taking these documentary photographs under a Special Use Permit from the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge. Kite flying is prohibited over the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge without a Special Use Permit.

Sinagoga del Tránsito
La Sinagoga del Tránsito, o Sinagoga de Samuel ha-Leví, situada en la ciudad de Toledo, es un edificio del siglo XIV erigido bajo el mecenazgo de Samuel ha-Levi en tiempos del rey Pedro I. Es una sinagoga construida en estilo mudéjar en la que destaca una armadura de par y nudillo , la Gran Sala de oración ornamentada con arquillos que permiten la entrada de luz exterior y frisos policromados en yeso decorados con motivos vegetales, geométricos y epigráficos, además de motivos heráldicos de la corona de Castilla.
Contenido
Contexto histórico
La sinagoga fue construida entre los años 1357 y 1363, según las inscripciones que aparecen en el propio edificio. Fue realizada por orden de Samuel ha-Leví, miembro de la comunidad judía que, entre otros cargos, fue consejero y almojarife del Reino de Castilla durante el reinado de Pedro I de Castilla. La construcción se realizó pese a la existencia de la prohibición de erigir sinagogas, hecho que figura en Las Siete Partidas de Alfonso X, pero se incluía una provisión que permite a la Corona hacer excepciones a esta norma. Este fue el caso de la Sinagoga del Tránsito, cuya construcción fue permitida por Pedro I como agradecimiento por el apoyo y fidelidad de los judíos de la ciudad de Toledo al monarca en su lucha por la recuperación de la ciudad tras haber pasado a estar bajo control de Enrique de Trastámara.
En esta época la aljama de Toledo se convirtió en la más rica e influyente de Castilla y algunos judíos, de la misma manera que en época árabe, ocuparon cargos importantes dentro de la Corte. Castilla, y como máximo exponente dentro de ella la ciudad de Toledo, presentaba una religión dominante y dos minorías aceptadas (mudéjar y judía) siempre que no interfiriesen con el cristianismo. Además, se facilitaba la conversión de las religiones minoritarias al cristianismo, mientras que el caso contrario era castigado. La comunidad judía se encontraba presente en Toledo desde época romana y visigoda. En época árabe estaba situada en la Madinat al Yahud, en la parte sudoccidental de la urbe, y tenía un carácter semi independiente dentro de la propia ciudad. La aljama de la ciudad de Toledo contaba con su propia organización y tres áreas fundamentales: fiscal, jurisdiccional y religiosa. Aunque eran siervos del rey, poseían privilegios, teniendo los rabinos una amplia autoridad en aspectos de derecho privado y ritual.
La sinagoga era la institución fundamental judía en los principales núcleos urbanos de Castilla, después de su conquista a los musulmanes. En los fueros municipales eran entendidas como el "lugar donde los judíos podían reunirse para hacer sus juramentos", además de resolver litigios y pleitos. Esta interpretación hacía referencia a la presencia de una sinagoga comunitaria, pero esto no impedía la existencia de otras casas de oración más pequeñas para uso privado, establecidas a menudo por las familias más ricas.
Evolución histórica de la sinagoga
La Sinagoga del Tránsito se encuentra dentro de la judería, que estaba conformada por carnicerías, zocos, murallas, puertas, casas, calles, adarves, casas de estudio de la ley y hasta un total de diez sinagogas más. Toda esta información es conocida gracias a un poema del siglo XIV de Yakob Albeneh. También son conocidos, gracias a él, el nombre de algunos barrios de la judería como el de Hamanzeit. La minoría hebrea se asentó en la parte occidental de la ciudad; la judería tenía su propia muralla interior y la multitud de adarves y callejones facilitaban la defensa con puertas y cierres en la calle. La conquista de Toledo por los cristianos no cambió la situación de la comunidad judía y en el siglo XIII desaparece la cerca y el barrio judío se mezcla con la ciudad.A través de una serie de excavaciones realizadas a principios de 2000, se pudo determinar que bajo los cimientos de la sinagoga se dispondría de un complejo de baños, llamado Hamman de Zeit, que fue destruido para la edificación de la sinagoga entre 1357 y 1363. Además del terreno de la zona de baños, se derribaron las casas cercanas y sobre ese terreno se levantó la sinagoga, de autor desconocido, gracias al mecenazgo de Samuel ha-Leví. Junto a la Sinagoga se construiría la Mikve posiblemente también sufragada por Samuel ha-Leví.
Tras la expulsión de los judíos en 1492, la judería es ocupada por la nobleza y el área de la sinagoga es concedido por los Reyes Católicos a la Orden de Calatrava, que sitúa allí el priorato de San Benito y la convierte en iglesia privada de la Orden, construyendo al lado norte un archivo para las Órdenes militares de Calatrava y Alcántara.
En el siglo XVII la iglesia de San Benito pasa a ser conocida popularmente como "del Tránsito" debido al encargo que un caballero calatravo realiza al pintor de la escuela toledana Juan Correa de Vivar, de un cuadro del Tránsito de Nuestra Señora, que adornó el altar plateresco desde entonces.
Hasta el siglo XIX la iglesia sigue perteneciendo a las órdenes militares, apareciendo en la documentación como "ermita de San Benito", extramuros de la ciudad, muy abandonada y en continuo deterioro.La desamortización de 1835 apenas afecta al edificio pero si a los bienes muebles y en 1877 el rey, de conformidad con la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando y a propuesta de la Dirección General de Instrucción Publica, declara la capilla del Tránsito como Monumento Nacional.
Posteriormente, en el año 1964, se decide que la Sinagoga Samuel ha-Leví sea la sede del museo sefardí, el cual tiene como objetivo conservar el legado de la cultura hispano-judía y sefardí para que quede integrada como parte esencial del Patrimonio Histórico Español, tarea que desempeña hasta la actualidad.
Análisis de la obra
Las dimensiones de este templo son 23 metros de longitud, 9,5 ancho y 17 m de altura. El edificio tiene una planta salón, rectangular, como en muchos edificios cristianos de la época. El alzado se divide en dos plantas, la primera es la zona donde se situaría la zona del rito y en la zona superior todavía se aprecia la ubicación de las vigas que sostenían el lugar dónde se ponían las mujeres, que ocultas de los hombres por celosías asistían a la liturgia.
Análisis técnico
Materiales
Los materiales principales de esta construcción son el ladrillo, la mampostería, la madera y el yeso. El exterior está formado por mampostería en el grueso del edificio, con ladrillos reforzando a la vez que realizando un efecto decorativo, en esquinas, alrededor de los vanos y estructuras superiores. El ladrillo se puede considerar la piedra angular, es la cantería del árabe que influenció directamente al mudéjar, que no se concibe sin este material. La alternancia de estos materiales consigue un enriquecimiento de la sinagoga, que por lo que podemos contemplar son materiales sencillos y de un coste bajo.
En el interior, destaca la utilización del yeso aplicado en las paredes con efecto decorativo, y la madera de artesonado, en concreto de conífera, que cubre toda la superficie de la sinagoga. También se puede encontrar madera en las celosías, ventanas y puertas, y un último material, el marfil, decorativo en incrustaciones de la techumbre. La yesería y la madera están policromadas, lo que supuso una utilización muy variada en lo pigmentos, son materiales ligeros, a los cuales se les saca el máximo partido arquitectónico. El pavimento está formado por losas de cerámica algunas vidriadas y otras no, de diferentes colores, pero podría ser que las que no están vidriadas se deba a un desgaste y no a un propósito concreto.

me gusto como salen mis ojitos... XD
aki les dejo un poema de un gran pensador....
La vida es una obra de teatro que no permite ensayos...
Por eso, canta, ríe, baila, llora y vive intensamente cada momento de tu vida...
...antes que el telón baje y la obra termine sin aplausos.
¡Hey, hey, sonríe! más no te escondas detrás de esa sonrisa...
Muestra aquello que eres, sin miedo...
Existen personas que sueñan con tu sonrisa, así como yo.
¡Vive! ¡Intenta!
La vida no pasa de una tentativa.
¡Ama!
Ama por encima de todo, ama a todo y a todos...
No cierres los ojos a la suciedad del mundo, no ignores el hambre
Olvida la bomba, pero antes haz algo para combatirla, aunque no te sientas capaz.
¡Busca! Busca lo que hay de bueno en todo y todos.
No hagas de los defectos una distancia, y si, una aproximación.
¡Acepta! La vida, las personas, haz de ellas tu razón de vivir.
¡Entiende! Entiende a las personas que piensan diferente a ti, no las repruebes...
Eh! Mira...
Mira a tu espalda, cuantos amigos...
¿Ya hiciste a alguien feliz hoy? ¿O hiciste sufrir a alguien con tu egoísmo?
¡Eh! No corras... ¿Para qué tanta prisa?
Corre apenas dentro tuyo.
¡Sueña!
Pero no perjudiques a nadie y no transformes tu sueño en fuga.
¡Cree! ¡Espera! Siempre habrá una salida, siempre brillará una estrella.
¡Llora! ¡Lucha! Haz aquello que te gusta...
Siente lo que hay dentro de ti.
Oye...Escucha lo que las otras personas tienen que decir, es importante.
Sube...
Haz de los obstáculos escalones... para aquello que quieres alcanzar.
Más no te olvides de aquellos que no consiguieron subir en la escalera de la vida.
¡Descubre! descubre aquello que es bueno dentro tuyo...
Procura por encima de todo ser gente, yo también voy a intentar.
¡Hey! Tú...ahora ve en paz.
Yo preciso decirte que... TE ADORO, simplemente porque existes...

El agua es esa sustancia tan importante que ha permitido el mantenimiento de la vida en este planeta durante millones de años. Muchos astrónomos denominan a nuestro planeta como “El planeta azul” por su elevada composición en agua que presentan muy pocos planetas y que nosotros tendríamos que considerarnos como privilegiados. Entonces, ¿Cómo puede ser el agua tan importante para los seres humanos?
La respuesta que me suscita a mí esta pregunta es porque el ser humano está compuesto en su gran mayoría de agua, pero me lleva a otra pregunta: ¿Por qué el ser humano valora tan poco este recurso que permite su existencia?
Para mí la respuesta se encuentra en un sistema capitalista liderado por el consumismo desenfrenado y sin miramientos hacía los problemas que este pueda causarle al planeta o simplemente sin tener las propias consecuencias que puede tener sobre el propio ser humano.
Desde mi opinión el agua es ese recurso esencial que nos ha permitido vivir durante mucho tiempo en este planeta y que está siendo muy infravalorado y derrochado en el mundo actual por culpa de un sistema económico consumista que está devorando poco a poco este planeta llevándolo a un uso desequilibrado del agua entre países “ricos” y “pobres”. Tenemos que encontrar un sistema económico justo y equilibrado que nos permita a todos los seres vivos de la tierra tener acceso a este recurso tan esencial para la vida antes que sea demasiado tarde. Me transmite mucha tristeza que para poder salvar nuestro planeta tengamos que hablar de economía y dinero, pero por lo que se ve el dinero y la economía es lo que mueve este planeta lleno de seres no tan humanos al venderse al dinero.
Toda esta reflexión me lleva a plantearme, si el agua es vida, ¿Por qué valoramos tan poco la vida? y por último ¿Estamos transformando el planeta azul en otro color derivado de nuestras acciones?

Permit from the Board of Health at Honolulu issued to Robert Louis Stevenson to visit the leper settlement at Molokai, dated May 20, 1889.
Penn Libraries call number: EC85 St485 890f
This building has the fire department's red X placard (meaning it's structurally unsafe and there shouldn't be an effort to save it in a fire), but it also has a city building permit. That permit is fairly new since it was not posted in a shot I took of this building last October.
The permit is hard to read because it's (strangely) posted on the second floor level. But it's not a demolition permit as a originally assumed. By digitally zooming in on a photo of the permit, I could read that it said the work to be performed was "Replace roof and windows." It also said "Historic [something] approved." It looks like this building is going to be restored.
This is a photograph from the Le Chéíle 'Leixlip 5KM' Road Race, Jog, and Fun Run was held in Leixlip, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday May 4th 2013 at 11:00. This race has steadily grown in stature over the past number of years and now is a well known fixture in the racing calendar in May annually. This was a big aattendance at the race which finished with the last 700 meters on the beautiful new tartan track belonging to Le Cheile AC at the Leixlip Amenities center. As always This was a great race with a great atmosphere. The weather was reasonably good (except for a head wind at a few places on the course). Good race times were reported by many participants. Congratulations to Kevin Roche and all of Le Chéíle AC for their huge volunteer work that goes into making this race the growing success that it is. As always the post race refreshments were awesome with some fabulous treats available for everyone. This year Lidl and Applegreen were title sponsors with support for prizes from Runworx. There was great support from local Kildare clubs and club of the day must go to Sliabh Buidhe Rovers AC of Ferns in Wexford who brought over 30 athletes up on a club day out for the race. The race was supported by FIT Magazine. Junior races for children aged between 7 - 16 years old took place on the track at 10:30 before the main race at 11:00. The race was AAI Permit Approved with a certified course measurement.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
