This is a photograph from the start second annual running of the Renault Mullingar Half Marathon which was held on Friday 17th March 2017 St. Patrick's Day Lá Fhéile Pádraig 2017 in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 10:30. Following on from the incredible success of the first two years of the race this year the total numbers participating rose from just under 600 in 2015, 900 in 2016 to over 1200 in this year 2017. As was the case last year the nominated charity was Childline. The roots of the successs of the event last year was the perfect running weather, excellent organisation and a very flat and fast route. All of these characteristics were repeated this year.

Last year's weather was not repeated. Indeed the race could be described as a race of two halves in terms of weather. The first half participants had the strong, fresh westerly wind on their backs. However, turning for home along the Royal Canal this became a very strong headwind for 3 - 4 miles. Participants travelled from all over Ireland with a very large participation from runners around Mullingar and the midlands. The race has an AAI permit. The race's early start time was to facilitate the annual St. Patrick's Day parade which brings a large number of local visitors to the town on an annual basis. Parking is free in Mullingar town for the entire day. A small change to the course configuration seen the race cross the M4 Motorway at The Downs via a winding pedestrian footbridge.

The race began on Pearse Street/Austin Friar's Street in the town and proceeds North East out of the town to the N52 Delvin/Dundalk road towards Lough Sheever. The course then follows beautiful rural country roads out to The Downs at the M4. The only significant hill or rise on the course occurs here at about 7 miles when runners cross a pedestrian footbridge over the M4 near Junction 14 Thomas Flynn and Sons The Downs. The race then joins the now local access route of the old N4 road and then joins the Royal Canal at Great Down. The remainder of the race follows the Royal Canal back westward to Mullingar town. The towpath on the Canal is perfectly flat and in excellent condition. Runners will notice how the level of the canal changes dramatically along the route - at points the canal is level with the towpath. In other places the canal is at least 3 meters lower than the canal path. However the path is perfectly flat and firm the whole way. The course then leaves the Royal Canal at the Ardmore Road/Millmount area of the town and finishes in the Mullingar Town Park on Austin Friar's Street beside the Annebrook Hotel which is the Race Headquarters. The park provides a very nice setting for the finish of the race and runners and their families can mix and congregate around the finish area and the hotel.

Père Lachaise Cemetery (French: Cimetière du Père-Lachaise,; formerly, cimetière de l'Est, "East Cemetery") is the largest cemetery in the city of Paris (44 hectares or 110 acres),[.

Père Lachaise is in the 20th arrondissement and is notable for being the first garden cemetery, as well as the first municipal cemetery. The cemetery takes its name from the confessor to Louis XIV, Père François de la Chaise (1624–1709), who lived in the Jesuit house rebuilt in 1682 on the site of the chapel.Père Lachaise Cemetery was opened on 21 May 1804.

The first person buried there was a five-year-old girl named Adélaïde Paillard de Villeneuve, the daughter of a door bell-boy of the Faubourg St. Antoine. Her grave no longer exists as the plot was a temporary concession.

At the time of its opening, the cemetery was considered to be situated too far from the city and attracted few funerals. Moreover, many Roman Catholics refused to have their graves in a place that had not been blessed by the Church.

In 1804, the Père Lachaise had contained only 13 graves. Consequently, the administrators devised a marketing strategy and in 1804, with great fanfare, organised the transfer of the remains of Jean de La Fontaine and Molière.

The following year there were 44 burials, with 49 in 1806, 62 in 1807 and 833 in 1812. Then, in another great spectacle in 1817, the purported remains of Pierre Abélard and Héloïse d'Argenteuil were also transferred to the cemetery with their monument's canopy made from fragments of the abbey of Nogent-sur-Seine (by tradition, lovers or lovelorn singles leave letters at the crypt in tribute to the couple or in hope of finding true love).

This strategy achieved its desired effect: people began clamoring to be buried among the famous citizens. Records show that, within a few years, Père Lachaise went from containing a few dozen permanent residents to more than 33,000 in 1830. Père Lachaise was expanded five times: in 1824, 1829, 1832, 1842 and 1850. Today there are over 1 million bodies buried there, and many more in the columbarium,

"Refusing to walk on the newly built dust road, I climb up high above Jomsom." - Reto.

Check your map. There are many possibilities to the main trail. This trail climbs out of Jomsom and over to Phakling from where you can descend again to the Kali Gandaki river and cross to Kagbeni. When the water is high, use the bridge just before Ekibati.

These days you can fly easily to Jomsom from Pokhara. The name Jomsom in Nepali is derived form the original 'Dzong Sarpa' meaning 'New Fort'.

This is a photograph from the 6th annual running of the Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were promoted and hosted by Bohermeen Athletic Club at Bohermeen, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 12th of March 2017 at 11:00. The half marathon consists of a 11KM and 10KM repeated loop around the roads of Bohermeen and Oristown. The 10KM race just completes the 2nd part of the half marathon. The finish line is on the running track within Bohermeen Community Center. The course is a fast fair course with a few small hills. Last year the course was 'reversed' which just meant that the traditional course changed to accomodate the large number of participants and the narrow country roads on which both the race participants and race traffic must both share before, during and after the race. Most runners agreed that this made the course much faster as a result. There was almost a total of 1,000 participants in both races.

The other great variable in road racing - the weather - was dry, clear but rather windy. At several parts of the course there was a stiff headwind which made these sections that bit more difficult. Temperatures were around a seasonal 10C for this time in March in Ireland.

Bohermeen AC is steeped in Irish athletics history since 1927 and it is this experience and exceptional community spirit and volunteering which has made this event today so successful. Having now organised the event for six years running it is certain that the event will continue to grow and expand become one of the mainstays on the Irish athletic club road racing calendar for many years to come.

This race takes place about one month after the Bewley's 10 Mile Road Race in Trim (just down the road from Bohermeen). Indeed these races truly kick-start the whole road racing season of fixtures amongst the clubs in Meath who are now famous for the quality and standard of the road races staged and organised.

The race is supported by substantial local sponsorship from businesses in the local area. McNally Logistics and Transportation are the main sponsors of this year's event. The company specialises in national and international haulage.

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!

Twenty-one American servicemen and one British soldier who decided to remain with communist forces pose January 26, 1954 for a group portrait at the Panmunjom peace hut where the cease fire that effectively ended the Korean War was negotiated.

The group held interviews with western journalists before journeying to the People’s Republic of China where they took up residence.

Kneeling (l-r) Andrew Condron, the only British soldier; Sgt. Scott L. Bush, Cpl. John R. Dunn, Pfc. Richard Tenneson, Cpl. Lowell D. Skinner, unidentified, and Pfc. Morris R. Wills.

Standing (l-r) Cpl. William C. White, Sgt. Rufus D. Douglas, Sgt. Richard O. Cordon, Sgt. Howard G. Moss, Pfc. Samuel D. Rankins, Cpl. William R. Cowart, Sgt. Laurence G. Sullivan, unidentified, unidentified, Sgt. Andrew Fortuna, Sgt. Lewis Griggs, Cpl. Clarence O. Adams, unidentified, and unidentified.

As the Red Scare of the late 1940s and 1950s continued in the United States, the prisoners who refused repatriation were labeled as “brainwashed” and fear of communists’ ability to shape people’s minds was spread across the country.

However some were African Americans who did not wish to return to face racial discrimination. Others agreed with their hosts that communism represented a better hope for mankind than the capitalism of the United States.

Most, though ultimately had difficulty adapting to the culture and language of the host country and eventually returned to the United States.

Prisoner repatriation was one of the greatest stumbling blocks in the long cease-fire negotiations between the forces of the United Nations and those of China and North Korea.

In June 1953, the two sides agreed that no prisoner who did not wish to be repatriated would be forced to do so (this had long been a sticking point in negotiations, with the Chinese and North Koreans wanting all prisoners returned to their home countries).

Prisoners who did not wish to go back to their home countries would be given 90 days in a neutral compound near Panmunjom to reconsider before being allowed to stay in enemy territory.‪ Following the armistice that was signed on 27 July 1953, effectively ending the Korean War (South Korea never signed), the main prisoner exchange was free to proceed.

One British and 23 American soldiers (along with 327 South Koreans) refused to be returned to their homelands. Two, Corporal Claude Batchelor and Corporal Edward Dickenson, changed their minds before the 90-day window expired. Both were court-martialed and sentenced to prison terms, with Batchelor serving 4½ years and Dickenson 3½.‪

This left 22 U.N. soldiers who voluntarily stayed with the Communists after the final exchange of prisoners. The 21 Americans were given dishonorable discharges.

This had the unintended consequence of rendering them immune to court-martial when they finally returned to the United States (which the majority eventually did), because they were no longer active-duty military. However, they were still criminally culpable for any acts of collaboration or offenses against fellow prisoners committed while they were POWs.

About 4 a.m. on February 24, 1954, a train carrying the 21 American defectors rumbled across the Yalu River into China. The Chinese soon shipped some of the men off to study language and politics. Others went to mills, factories, and farms across Eastern China.‪

Sri Lanka's path to the last-eight stage of the 1996 World Cup was made easy by two walkovers they received as a result of Australia and West Indies refusing to travel to Sri Lanka on security grounds, and it remains a bit a of myth that they were propelled by the explosive starts provided by Sanath Jayasuriya and Romesh Kaluwitharana. Kalu scored a mere 73 runs in the World Cup at 12.16 and crossed 20 only twice.

Their legend was built mainly on a spectacular assault they mounted on India in the league match at New Delhi. Chasing 272, the openers blasted 53 in the first five overs with Manoj Prabhakar going for 11 and 22 in his first two overs. Jayasuriya went on to score 76.

It was in the backdrop of this massacre that India and Sri Lanka squared up for the semi-final at Eden Gardens. Mohammed Azharuddin's decision to invite Sri Lanka to bat was clearly influenced by the ease of the Delhi chase.

The match couldn't have begun in more dramatic fashion. Both of India's tormentors were gone in the first four balls, playing mirror-image shots - slashes to third man off Javagal Srinath. But what happened in the next one hour was breathtaking and magical.

Aravinda de Silva batted as if he was in a trance, untouched by the gravity of his team's situation, immune to the roars of a 100,000-strong partisan crowd, and undaunted by the occasion. He was in the zone.

His 50 came off 32 balls and contained 11 fours. Yet there was no trace of violence in it. Not for a moment did it feel manic. Instead, he was a picture of serenity and played the purest of cricket strokes, hitting cleanly and crisply between cover and extra-cover with such precision that fielders were rendered redundant. It inspired Christopher Martin-Jenkins to invoke Nevile Cardus who once said wrote of Reggie Spooner: "He uses the bat as a lady might use her fan."

Such was de Silva's command over the proceedings that while Sri Lanka galloped along at nearly seven an over, Asanka Gurusinghe scored only a run in 29 balls and de Silva barely noticed when his partner went, trying to play a rare stroke. He hit three more sublime fours after reaching 50 and was gone on the stroke of the 15th over, inside-edging Anil Kumble onto his stumps as casually as he had caressed all his fours.

It left Sri Lanka at 85 for 3, but India had been stunned and Roshan Mahanama, Arjuna Ranatunga and Hashan Tilakeratne batted sensibly to take Sri Lanka to 251, a total that would prove beyond India on a fast-deteriorating pitch.

The match finally ended in shame and tears for India when passionate Calcutta fans found the Indian collapse - seven wickets for 22 runs to reduce them to 120 for 8 from a relatively comfortable 98 for 1- too hard to bear, and expressed themselves by throwing water bottles and any other objects they could grab on to the field, while also setting fire to the seating. Vinod Kambli left the field in tears as Clive Lloyd, the match referee, summoned the players in and later awarded the match to Sri Lanka.

This refuse lorry turned over negotiating a roundabout.

The driver managed to kick his way out of the windscreen and was quite safe.

Refusing War, Affirming Peace: A History of Civilian Public Service Camp No. 21 at Cascade Locks

Jeffrey Kovac

Published by OSU Press

"One of the untold stories of America’s World War II experience belongs to the thousands who refused military service for reasons of conscience, instead serving their country through non-military alternate service. Refusing War, Affirming Peace offers an intimate view of a single Civilian Public Service Camp, Camp #21 at Cascade Locks, Oregon, one of the largest and longest-serving camps in the system—and one of the most unusual.

Under the leadership of a remarkable director, Rev. Mark Y. Schrock, and some outstanding camp leaders, the men at Camp #21 created a vibrant community. Despite the requisite long days of physical labor, the men developed a strong educational program, published a newspaper and a literary magazine, produced plays and concerts, and participated in a special school and research project called the School of Pacifist Living. They also challenged the Selective Service System in two political protests—one concerning the threatened removal of a Japanese American, George Yamada, and a second concerning a war- related work project. Their story shows the CPS system at its best.

Jeffrey Kovac’s thorough research has resulted in one of the very few histories of a single Civilian Public Service Camp, shedding light on a generation of men who, during the 'good war,' created a community for peace. Refusing War is an important contribution to World War II history, peace studies, and the history of the Pacific Northwest."

The original T-series Pakamatic Refuse Collection Vehicle was manufactured by Shelvoke & Drewry Ltd. of Letchworth in 1972. It was first owned by Oldham Borough Council then after 16 years with Oldham Council it was bought by a Brighouse man for £400. It was eventually found in a breaker’s yard in Denholme and was bought in 1997 by Bradford City Council to be used in a restoration training exercise. A team of Keighley workers, led by fitter Allen Freer, rebuilt the vehicle between 1997 and 1998. They sourced original parts from as far afield as Belfast and spent 2,100 hours completing the project. It was repainted in the livery of the old Keighley Corporation. Many of these pictures were taken during that restoration exercise. The vehicle made appearances at many transport festivals. It was used for filming in a series of “Heartbeat” for the episode “Bin man”, filmed on location in Goathland and first broadcast in June 2005. In 2014 the vehicle was donated to the Keighley Bus Museum Trust by Bradford City Council.

This is a local Detroit cartoon about embattled mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Kilpatrick refuses to step down even after he's been criminally charged. 14,000 text messages revealed that he didn't just have an affair--he paid his friends overtime as bodyguards to help him cover up said affair, and when whistleblowers tried to stop the madness, he had them demoted/fired and lied about it and they sued for $9 million... just go Google it. Trust me, it's messed up. And he is very fond of LOL LOL talk, as his messages reveal.

International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY) has confirmed that there are four mass graves containing the bodies of approximately 320 Srebrenica victims, in Sultanovici / Liplije (Zvornik Municipality). Part of the grave-sites have been used by the Zvornik authorities as a municipal rubbish dump, despite repeated complaints by returnees about the use of this land for this purpose.

Municipal authorities made a rubbish dump out of private land belonging to cleansed Bosniaks who were in the process of clearing their destroyed homes in preparation for permanent return. Municipal trucks reportedly dump between 30 and 35 loads of rubbish a day, all of which was slowly smouldering, causing irreparable damage to the bodies underneath, thereby destroying evidence for use in future war crimes trials related to the Srebrenica massacre.

A cheapo diecast which is wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to begin! Half plastic and half metal this box on wheels if you study it is actually a crude copy of a generic casting made for the Toys R Us Fast Lane range! Why you'd want to copy it i've no idea but that's what several Chinese toy companies have done.

Whoever made this clearly takes recycling and rubbish collecting very seriously, failure to do so risks instant death and destruction by its roof mounted weapons! ;-p

Sold in European Tedi stores under their Speed Stars brand.

Mint and boxed.
