The Umbrella Movement or Umbrella Revolution (佔中), began in September 2014 when activists in Hong Kong protested outside the Hong Kong Government headquarters and occupied several major city intersections after China's Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) announced its decision on proposed electoral reform. In disallowing civil nominations, the NPCSC made it clear that a 1200-member nominating committee, in which the composition remains subject to a second round of consultation, would elect two to three electoral candidates with more than half of the votes before the general public could vote on them.
The movement got its name when the protesters used umbrellas to shield against the pepper spray, hence the umbrella becomes one of the "must have" tools during the protest.

Some explanation - the fabric is to keep bits of my corrugated iron ceiling from dropping onto the paintings (which get varnished flat and horizontal). The dry brush on the table is for cleaning the surface of the painting of dust first. The brush-on varnish goes on first, matte finish of course. The spray varnish (same type of varnish) is for the last coat (or two) just to equal out the finish and/or cover any bits that might have gone slightly wrong.
Slightly wrong this time around was pinholes in the brush-on varnish, wipe marks from something bumping the painting (probably my bum, haha!), streaking in the varnish, and fallen dust in the surface. These mean first trying a spray to fix it if appropriate, or unvarnishing the whole piece with cloths soaked in white spirits. At this point insert various sighs, swearing, and sobbing when I realised the painting that needed a total re-do was the 120x150cm one.
Digital transformation is accelerating, and with that, in recent years, endpoint security, automation, and IT framework garnered more attention. Content distribution has been around, but shifting to the cloud for greater flexibility and cost savings has made content distribution more prominent and inextricably tied as enterprises grapple with network health. So why this buzz around endpoint content distribution? To understand, let’s check out its benefits in modern environments.
This is a photograph from the annual BHAA Government Services/Social Protection Group's 5 Mile Road Race took place on Tuesday 27th May 2013 at 20:00 in Dunboyne, Co. Meath, Ireland. The course is a fast flat course which begins on the Dunboyne-Maynooth Road between the two entrances to Dunboyne Castle Estate. The race then proceeds in an anti-clockwise direction back to the Dunboyne Athletic Club on the Rooske Road in Dunboyne. The race reaches higher standards with every passing year. Paul Gorey and his team of volunteers must be given great credit for putting on such a wonderful race event. Thanks are also extended to Dunboyne Athletic Club, the BHAA, and the local community who all make this possible.
This photograph is part of a large set of photographs taken at the finish line area of the race. There are also some races of the buildup and the start of the race. The full set is available at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157644466844507/
Overall Race Summary
Participants: There were approximately 500 participants .
Weather: A bright sunny evening with little breeze
Course: This course is fully left handed with very little in the way of inclines. Good road surface. These are nice narrow country roads with shelter provided by mature hedgerows. This year the race finished with 3/4 of a lap of the Dunboyne AC track.
Refreshments: Lots and lots as is the tradition with BHAA Events - served outside the scouts hall at the track.

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!

There were two groups, one from Italy and the other Poland, that were watching near us. They both arrived by charter buses early in the morning and all stayed until the end of the eclipse.
Elmo's nose and Teddy's nose. Post surgery.
On Wednesday morning 30th Jan 2008, Elmo showed signs of discomfort, was gagging, and began to bloat around his abdomen. Sometimes, due to his list of allergies, he experiences strange symptoms- and so we tried to calm him and let it pass, but to no avail.
We took him to the vets expecting to hear that he had colic or a similar condition, to be told emergency surgery needed to take place, his stomach had twisted under the weight of the gas in his stomach.
Surgery on Elmo is very dangerous as his server allergic reactions do not allow anything to be injected into his body. The surgery on a normal dog has a 50/50% chance of survival. Elmo was given 20% chance of pulling through. We were devastated.
Elmo has quite a history. He is 9. At 18 months old he was disabled is all legs due to over stretched ligaments. He cannot be inoculated due to his allergies and so does not have any protection against usual doggy disease. He can only eat organic chicken legs, and drink mineral water. (We found this through trial and error.) Elmo is so allergic, he has been diagnosed as being allergic to himself- the yeast his skin produces in excess. He has two back discs about to pop out. His trachea is collapsing, causing a strange bark. He has a tail bent in two points at a 90 degree angle. 2 years ago he has an emergency castration due to a torsion, which he, due to an excellent vet, managed to pull through. He is a delightful, extremely happy and active dog, despite all of this.
But now this. He pulled through the surgery which saved his life. Yet he was going into shock, which could cause complications. The toxins that had been trapped could have caused heart problems- and because of the pressure of the bloat against his veins, vital organs were not getting the blood supply they needed.
Amazingly lucky- we were told the torsion was serve, but had only happened recently, within a couple of hours. He was transferred to another vet for that night. He remained stable. He was transferred to an intensive care surgery when he showed no sign of improvement. Soon after, thinking it was less stressful we took him home, where he remains. He has perked up, and has a stomach tube in which we feed him antibiotics and painkillers, which we cannot inject, due to the allergies.
We hope the little guy will be ok. He is not a usual dog and incredibly dependant on his humans. This next week is critical. We beg that he will pull through without infection.
"This condition in the dog has a sudden onset, usually within one to two hours of eating a large meal. The dog is first breathless and, if examined closely, the abdomen is excessively large.
The dog will stand, lie still, or move only with caution. He will generally pass feces and gas so that eventually the entire gut with the exception of the stomach has been emptied. There are often attempts at vomiting although these attempts are rarely successful. In a period varying from one-half to three hours, the stomach becomes grossly distended, and there is severe dyspnea, or difficulty in breathing. The dog may live up to 36 hours but many will die within one to two hours. "
This is all a bit much with M in Hong Kong, but we will keep you updated here and on our myspace page:

Prima fotografie HDR! Si apoi nu mi-a mai placut atat de mult ideea de HDR. Eram la Talea, incercam sa vizitam un fost penitenciar, insa nu ne-a lasat nimeni sa intram, mai ales cu aparatele foto. Am poposit langa un lac si am fost creativi.
