With one in six adults in Britain experiencing depression, anxiety or problems relating to stress at any one time, a statistic that is replicated in many areas of the globe, we need to relook at stress and how to manage it.
Often when we think of stress, we ask ourselves “why am I stressed?” in search of a single cause. The issue with this is that stress is rarely derived from a single moment, instead, it is a build up of incorrect habits that we have developed throughout our life. This infographic will help you understand your body and empower you with a toolkit that will enable stress-free productivity. Check out more tips at: thinknoo.com
Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.
Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
Most of these are shot outdoors where I have the room to literally spin and throw my little camera several feet up into the air, with some throws going as high as 15 feet or more!
None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final

The earliest recorded owner of Drimnagh Castle was Sir Hugh de Bernival (his name is recorded in state papers relating to Ireland in 1216). His family, owners of Drimnagh Castle for centuries, were later known as Barnewell, sometimes Barnewall. The last occupants of Drimnagh Castle were the Hatch family.
In the very early 1900s, the castle and its lands were bought by Joseph Hatch (born 1851), a dairy man, of 6 Lower Leeson Street. Joe Hatch was a member of Dublin City Council, representing Fitzwilliam Ward, from 1895 to 1907. He bought the castle in the first instance to provide grazing land for his cattle. He restored the castle, which became a summer home for his family and a splendid location for the celebration of the silver wedding anniversary of Joseph Hatch and his wife, Mary Connell, as well as the marriage of their eldest daughter, Mary, in 1910.
Upon his death in April 1918, ownership of the castle passed to their eldest son, Joseph Aloysius (born 1882), known as Louis. Together with his brother Hugh, Louis managed the dairy farm and the dairy shop in Lower Leeson Street. Louis (who never married) died in December 1951. (Hugh, who did not marry until the age of 60 in 1944) died in 1950.
Drimnagh Castle was left by Louis Hatch to Dr. P. Dunne, Bishop of Nara (‘Castle Bequest to Bishop’, The Irish Times, 9 January 1953), who sold it (reportedly for a nominal sum) to the Christian Brothers to build the school that now stands there.
The buildings within the moat consist of a 15th-century great hall with an attached 16th-century tower, also a large, early-20th-century stone building used as a stable and a ballroom at one time and a coach house. Initially the brothers lived and ran a school there until 1956 when they moved to their new schools and monastery close by. By the mid 1980s the castle was a ruin with fallen roofs, missing windows and partly collapsed masonry.
In 1978 the local GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) Club, An Caisleán GAA (The Castle GAA), took possession of the Castle Coach-house and renovated it to give them a clubhouse of Community hall, kitchen and changing rooms with adjoining showers.
In 1986 Peter Pearson, a well-known artist with An Taisce, the national trust for Ireland, set up a local committee and got FÁS (Foras Áiseanna Saothair) the state training authority, involved in a conservation and restoration programme. All work was carried out by hand; the construction of a 15th-century medieval oak roof over the great hall, mullioned stone windows, lime mortars for building stone and plastering and wood carving in oak. A formal 17th-century–style garden was also created.
“Urban art is a style of art that relates to cities and city life. In that way urban art combines street art and graffiti and is often used to summarize all visual art forms arising in urban areas, being inspired by urban architecture or thematizing urban live style.
The notion of 'Urban Art' developed from street art that is primarily concerned with graffiti culture. Urban art represents a broader cross section of artists that as well as covering traditional street artists also covers artists using more traditional media but with a subject matter that deals with contemporary urban culture and political issues.”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_art
“Wild Flowers are not weeds"
Street Art is the modern, urban wildflowers
What's the difference between Graffiti Tagging and Street Art?
1. Street Art is constructive, Graffiti Tagging is destructive.
2. Street Art adorns the urban landscape, Graffiti Tagging scars it and accelerates urban decay.
3. Street Art stretches your mind, Graffiti Tagging is a slap in your face.
4. Street Art is about the audience, Graffiti Tagging is about the tagger.
5. Street Art says "Have you thought about this?", Graffiti Tagging says "I tag, therefore I exist".
6. Street Art was done with a smile, Graffiti Tagging was done with a scowl.
7. Street Art takes skill, Graffiti Tagging takes balls.
8. We mourn losing Street Art and celebrate losing Graffiti Tagging.
Good Street Art is great, good Graffiti Tagging is gone!

Lichfield Guildhall - glass from the former great north transept window of Lichfield Cathedral by Betton & Evans of Shrewsbury 1813.
Figures of King Offa & King Stephen, part of a sequence of nine figures relating to the foundation and history of the Cathedral.
Between 1813 & c1880 the 9-light north transept window at Lichfield was glazed with a fine sequence of late Georgian (partially) enamel painted historical figures of kings & bishops (one row of nine). No photographs have so far been found to show how this appeared, however the window can be glimpsed in it's original form in a late Georgian watercolour now preserved in Lichfield's St Mary's Heritage Centre.
Betton & Evans of Shrewsbury were prolific in the first half of the nineteenth century in the the western midlands and parts of Wales and were signifcicant in crossing the transition from enamel painting back to more traditional pot-metal leaded windows (this example combines both approaches) Most of their compositions were either derived from old master paintings (Rubens etc) or geometric/heraldic work. Where they created new figurative images the drawing was often primitive and naive.
An exception to those rules is this magnificent series from Lichfield where another designer was employed for the 9 standing figure of this window (plus a later 18 for the corresponding south window). Martin Harrison (our greatest authority on 19th century glass) has identified the designer as John James Halls, a pupil of Henry Fuseli at the Royal Academy.
The painting is bold and vigorous, showing a remarkable freedom of brushwork combined with superb individual characterisation of the figures, making these panels some of the finest late Georgian glass to have survived. .
The glass was removed from the cathedral c1880 during Giles Gilbert Scott's restoration, when the late fifteenth century tracery was replaced with the current five lancets, in order to reinstate the original 13th century design of the north facade.. This dramatic alteration of the window's apertures rendered retention of the 1813 glazing virtually impossible, so it was replaced with the Clayton & Bell Tree of Jesse we see there today.
The dismantled window soon found a new home in the large north facing window of the main hall of Lichfield's Guildhall where it remains to this day. Of course it had to be extensively reconfigured to fit it's new setting, a five light window as opposed to nine; this entailed the nine figures being arranged as two rows of five (a new figure of Queen Victoria by a different workshop was added to fill the vacant space in the centre of the top row). Much of the architectural canopywork that formerly towered above each figure was lost in this process, though elements remain rather patchily worked into the three tracery lights above.
I hope eventually to attempt a digital reconstruction of the window in it's original setting using these images superimposed over the present south window of the cathedral (which is built to the same design as the former north window, prior to it's alteration by Scott)..
An impression of the original setting can be gained here www.flickr.com/photos/amthomson/2949125778/in/set-7215760...
Colonial Williamsburg is the historic district of the independent city of Williamsburg, Virginia. It consists of many of the buildings that, from 1699 to 1780, formed colonial Virginia's capital. The capital straddled the boundary of two of the original shires of Virginia, James City Shire (now James City County), and Charles River Shire (now York County). For most of the 18th century, Williamsburg was the center of government, education and culture in the Colony of Virginia.
Colonial Williamsburg is meant to be an interpretation of a Colonial American city, with exhibits including dozens of authentic or accurately-recreated colonial houses and relating to American Revolutionary War history. Prominent buildings in Colonial Williamsburg include the Raleigh Tavern, the Capitol, The Governor's Palace, and Bruton Parish Church. However, rather than simply an effort to preserve antiquity, the combination of extensive restoration and thoughtful recreation of the entire colonial town facilitates envisioning the atmosphere and understanding the ideals of 18th century American revolutionary leaders. It was here that Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, James Monroe, James Madison, George Wythe, Peyton Randolph, and dozens more helped mold democracy in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States.
The Historic Area is located just east of the College of William and Mary, founded at Middle Plantation in 1693, just prior to the establishment of the town as capital of Virginia and its renaming. The university's historic Wren Building stands at the west end of Duke of Gloucester Street.
Colonial Williamsburg is a major source of tourism to Williamsburg, as well as a touchstone for many world leaders and heads of state, including U.S. Presidents. The United States hosted the first World Economic Conference at Colonial Williamsburg in 1983. It is the centerpiece of the surrounding Historic Triangle of Virginia area, which has become a popular tourist destination for visitors domestic and foreign. The other two points of the Historic Triangle are Jamestown and Yorktown.
Contents
Early in the 20th century, the restoration and recreation of Colonial Williamsburg, one of the largest historic restorations ever undertaken, was championed by the Reverend Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin and the patriarch of the Rockefeller family, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., along with the active participation of his wife, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, who wanted to celebrate the patriots and the early history of the United States.
Many of the missing Colonial structures were reconstructed on their original sites during the 1930s. Other structures were restored to the best estimates of how they would have looked during the eighteenth century, with all traces of later buildings and improvements removed. Dependency structures and animals help complete the ambiance. Most buildings are open for tourists to look through, with the exception of several buildings that serve as residences for Colonial Williamsburg employees.
Notable structures include the large Capitol and the Governor's Palace, each carefully recreated and landscaped as closely as possible to original 18th century specifications, as well as Bruton Parish Church and the Raleigh Tavern.
The major goal of the Restoration was not to merely preserve or recreate the physical environment of the colonial period, but to facilitate education about the origins of the idea of America, which was conceived during many decades before the American Revolution.
In this environment, Colonial Williamsburg strives to tell the story of how diverse peoples, having different and sometimes conflicting ambitions, evolved into a society that valued liberty and equality.
There are a few tales to tell about the Murray Earls of Dunmore - they were after all good Jacobites, but it's getting late and I want to go to bed! There is one story I will relate though, which I found in an article written in 2020 by Australian journalist Charles Woolley. The Australian connection is because the 12th and current Earl of Dumore, was born and lives in Tasmania - as you will see! Over to Charles Woolley:-
In the 1960s policemen everywhere, would bail up speeding drivers to ask, “Who do you think you are? Stirling Moss?”
Stirling Moss died recently at the age of 90. He always described himself as happy to be regarded as, “The greatest Formula One Driver never to win the world championship.”
In 1955 Moss at 25 made his claim on world pre-eminence by winning the famous Mille Miglia.
For those of you not into motor racing it is a spectacular 1600km road race through some of the most beautiful country in Italy. Moss finished way ahead of the field beating the world-famous Argentinian, Juan Manuel Fangio by a sensational thirty minutes.
You might have heard of Fangio. His was another name invoked by traffic cops everywhere. As in “Pull over Fangio. Do you know how fast you were going?”
I met Moss once in the eighties in London. A short, slight man, balding and charming, he was with a beautiful young woman who gave every impression of being bedazzled by his charisma and devil-may-care attitude. As were many.
“If you are not trying to win at all costs,” he would often say, “Then what on earth are you doing out there.”
Consequently, the playboy racing driver had as many accidents as girlfriends. He broke both his legs, severely damaged his spine and injured his brain. He suffered lasting nerve damage and impaired eyesight.
Sensibly he quit young, giving up motor racing for a successful business career in property development. He once said, “I knew if I didn’t get out, I’d kill myself and maybe someone else.”
And with that thought (having exhausted the sum-total of my knowledge of motor racing) comes the time to shift gear to the year 1992 and a tale about colliding worlds and random chance. For you never know who you might run into on a Sunday drive on a quiet country road in the northwest of Tasmania.
This is the scene as two quite different motor vehicles are closing on one another in peaceful rolling farmland near the tiny town of Moriarty.
One vehicle, a souped-up Ford Falcon is travelling at high speed, past blurred hedge rows and flashes of chocolate brown soil, roaring uphill and down through the green landscape this fine day in early March.
The driver of the Ford is Stirling Moss. He is too intent on memorizing every twist and turn of the narrow bitumen road to notice a familiarity of scenery: how much this pleasant land resembles his own English countryside.
At 150 kilometers an hour on an unfamiliar winding road he’s not here for the scenery. He is here to win an upcoming race and for that he needs to practice. In the coming days he will need to know every twist and turn.
Moss has been in Tasmania only a few hours, having flown from London and is likely tired and jetlagged and in need of rest.
But always he has that rule; “If you are not trying to win at all costs then what are you doing here?”
The other oncoming vehicle, a modest Toyota Corona (again unrelated to the present plague) is travelling at a much more sedate speed. The driver who is only five minutes from home is accompanied by his wife. They have enjoyed a rare weekend away together without the kids and are in no hurry to get back.
The Corona is doing only 80 kilometers an hour, almost half the speed of the Falcon but the closing speed of the two vehicles is 230 kilometers per hour.
The head-on collision destroys both cars. But it is the occupants of the smaller Toyota Corona who are most seriously injured.
Stirling Moss’s premonitions about what might happen if he continued to race have almost come true.
Moss was in Tasmania for the 1992 inaugural Targa Tasmania which he was fully expecting to win, driving the not yet released new Ford Falcon XR8.
It was to be a great coup for Targa Tasmania and even bigger for his sponsor Ford Australia. But the grand plans suddenly ended with a car crash.
This week the driver of the Corona, Malcolm Murray told me, “No one knew Stirling was here, least of all me. It was all supposed to be a big surprise. A secret marketing strategy. Out of nowhere Stirling Moss would win Targa and the XR8 would be launched with a huge fanfare. At least that was the plan.”
Malcolm Murray, to this day has no recollection of the accident from which he and his wife took years to recover.
Malcolm was a local electrical engineer and a pilot- instructor, married to wife Jan and with two kids.
“But,” as they say in the steak-knife commercial, “There is more!”
The bloke Stirling Moss cleaned up that sunny March day on Bonney’s Hill at Moriarty also turned out to be Sir Malcolm Kenneth Murray, Chief of the Scottish Clan Murray and the twelfth Earl of Dunmore.
Tasmanian born Malcolm inherited a British peerage which entitled him to sit in the House of Lords in Westminster. Accordingly, his wife Jan became the Countess of Dunmore.
In political reforms during the Blair era the British Government abolished hereditary seats in the House of Lords.
Malcolm retained his titles but lost his seat after making only two speeches in the House; one when he took his seat, the other when he gave it up.
Jan’s death five years ago was unrelated to the motor accident but according to Malcolm she never fully recovered. “Whenever we were out driving and a car approached, she became alarmed that we were going to have a head on.”
For his part, Malcolm considers himself lucky. “I don’t remember a thing about the accident. I’m a pilot and when I woke up in hospital all strapped up, the first thing I asked was ‘Whose plane did I crash?”
Malcolm was unconscious when the police arrived and had to be cut out of the wreckage. But he does remember and believes to be true, the wonderful story that did the rounds at the time.
The crash scene told the whole truth. It was clear the Ford was on the wrong side of the road and travelling much too fast.
So, the indignant traffic cop approached the driver of the XR8 and asked the classic question.
“Mate, who do you think you are? Stirling Moss?”
The driver sheepishly replied, “Well actually …….”
Later in court Stirling Moss had a conviction recorded for failing to keep to the left.
He never returned to Tasmania.
Malcolm Murray still avoids the backroads during Targa.

Lost in Space________Episode # 1_______Death to Deniers !
Danger - Will Robinson, Danger ! Sensors detecting thought-police !
These fine ladies want prison sentences handed down to individuals who dare to be themselves and to think differently from them calling anyone with a different opinion from theirs to be a denier or a hater ?
No one can deny the existence of residential schools. And so why are an infinitesimal tiny minority like Leah Gazan (NDP), Lindsay Mathyssen (NDP), Nahanni Fontaine (NDP) and Kimberley Murray (Liberal Government investigator) so dissatisfied and why are they trying to force their own radical ego-driven personal viewpoint based on unproven allegations on everyone else ? Why do they want you to think the same way that they think, believe in the same way that they believe, and be forced by law into accepting their individual self-centred and self-serving narrative, (that they get paid to expound) as being Gods' truth, and if you dare resist them you are then to be called a hater and a denier and a criminal that could be sent to jail for up to life in prison under the law enshrined in their new Bill C-63 or C-9 ?

An EPA surface supplied diver hands off the sample for processing.
EPA divers demonstrate a passive sampling technique in the Duwamish River. We know that porewater relates to fish tissue data, so sampling techniques that target this area are very useful in gauging a site cleanup. EPA divers have deployed a variety of passive samplers to support Superfund work. This technique has the capability of integrating data over a longer period of time--making it more likely that a contaminated groundwater plume discharging to a river like this one will be captured, vs. other techniques that might produce more of a snapshot. The sampling technique gauges the effectiveness of carbon in sediment in binding PCBs. This aspect could demonstrate the effectiveness of sediment amendments to lower available PCBs.

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

Fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) in Zejmarská roklina (Zejmarská gorge) in Slovenský Raj (Slovak paradise), Slovakia.
This is the first real-life fire salamander I've ever seen in my whole life :-)
The title "Lurchi" relates to the main character of the advertising comics of the German Salamander shoe factories which probably every living German grew up with. Lurchi (from Lurch=amphibian) is a fire salamander (wearing Salamander shoes, of course) that goes through many adventures with his friends (a frog, a dwarf, a hedgehog, a mouse and a toad), and they always save themselves from several dangerous situations with the help of - guess what? - their fantastic Salamander shoes...
Although I never ever wore a Salamander shoe in my life as far as I know, I really loved the little illustrated and rhymed stories as a child.
Slovenský Raj is a mountain range and a national park in the karst area of the West Carparthians in central/eastern Slovakia. It is characterized by several gorges and waterfalls. There are many well-marked hiking trails in the area. Even the steepest gorges were made accessible by treads, chains, boardwalks and ladders. All this together makes Slovenský Raj a spectacular and popular hiking destination which is called a "paradise" for good reason.

This infographic relates to research forecasting the global spread of invasive plant pests and pathogens. Understanding the history of how and where species have traveled helps inform their distribution and where new outbreaks can be expected. While we focus primarily on invasive insects and diseases that affect ecologically and agriculturally important plants, our modeling efforts are "species agnostic", and the broader field of invasion science informs how our models describe fundamental demographic processes like dispersal and spread.
Because of recent news relating to the development [re-development] of Cherrywood in the South of County Dublin I decided to see if I had any relevant photograph but the earliest usable photographs were taken in July 2013. I do know that I did photograph the area in 2010 and possibly in 2009 but I cannot locate the original photographs.
This photograph was taken in 2013 but nothing really changed between 2010 and 2013,
Back in 2010 I made the following comment online:
“The New Luas Extension Has Been Criticised By Commuters Who Cannot Park.”
“When it comes to transport in Dublin there have been two success stories in recent years. The DublinBike scheme is one and the other is the Luas tram system. Last Monday was a beautiful sunny day and after photographing the Dublin Marathon I decided that it would be a good idea to get the Luas to Cherrywood to see if I could take a few photographs. It was explained to me, by a gentleman that I met on the tram, that the land is now tied up in NAMA and as a result it cannot be developed as a park and ride facility. Commuters were turned away from the new Cherrywood terminus on opening day as there were no parking facilities available.”
“Cherrywood is one of Dublin's newest suburbs and as can be seen from my photographs it is partly developed and there are some very large empty spaces and believe it or not there is a shortage of parking spaces. Some time ago a decision was made to extend the Sandyford (Green) Luas line to Cherrywood and construction started in February 2007 and the line became operational this month (October 2010) There are now two Luas stops in Cherrywood: Cherrywood and the terminus, Brides Glen.”
I would suggest that the tram stop at Laughanstown could be described as being in the area.
FRIDAY 10 FEB 2016:
Hines Ireland has officially started work on the first key phase of construction at Cherrywood in South County Dublin. If all goes well up to 30,000 people will live at Cherrywood by early in the next decade meaning that it will be as large as Bray and even larger than a town such as Athlone.
Brian Moran said, “The upfront delivery of the roads, cycle and pedestrian network and three wonderful parks is a pivotal moment for the Cherrywood project. These will be the green lungs for this modern new town and this not only strikes the right environmental note for Cherrywood to come but it also underpins our commitment to expedite the delivery of the 4,000 modern new homes within the Hines land holding."
"We are acutely aware of the enormous public demand for new housing stock and the submission of planning for the new €875 million Cherrywood Town Centre in the coming months will include 1300 new smart design apartments as part of this highly ambitious plan.”
In 2014, Hines acquired Cherrywood in South Dublin. The two components of this investment include an existing 52,000-square-meter office park and a 390-acre master-planned development site. The Cherrywood site has been acquired with approval for the construction of a new, retail-led mixed-use town center; up to 3,800 apartments and houses; and zoning capacity to expand the second largest office park in Dublin to three times its current size.
Mr. Moran is the Senior Managing Director responsible for developing Hines’ Ireland projects. He established the Hines platform in Ireland which currently has more than €1.2 billion of retail, office and residential assets under management, in addition to a major development pipeline which includes an additional €500 million of retail development and over 4,000 residential units. He rejoined the firm in 2011 having previously worked with Hines in Russia in the 1990's.
Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final

Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.

Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.
@krys_aubs I think we can both relate? Lol! #clinicals #laughter #giggles #whitepanties #whiteuniforms #equalsbadcombo lol
I've been posting photos the past week relating to the Marine Corps' 235th birthday celebration on November 10th and Veterans Day, November 11th. It's been very enjoyable looking through the old photos and getting them scanned. One thing I miss from my days in the Corps is wearing the uniform. I honestly never thought I would miss that. Civvies, as we called civilian clothes, were treasured because we could only wear them off duty, which wasn't very often. I grew weary of keeping up with the Brasso on the brass, and spit shine, literally, on the boots and shoes. Now the Marines wear rough out swede boots which are light years ahead of the combat boots I wore. There is no need to shine them, just a good brushing will clean them and they are comfortable to wear. I buy them now for normal use when I'm wearing jeans. And they have the Eagle Globe and Anchor embossed on the outboard side of the heel. Nice touch.
My uniform now is a suit and I don't mind that. A nice crisp white shirt and tie along with a suit isn't a bad daily uniform. Since I'm the boss I sneak into the office wearing my favorite Wranglers more than I should, but neither jeans nor suits are officially uniforms. There isn't the instant recognition of fraternal brotherhood or the sense of pride we all feel seeing someone in full dress uniform. There isn't the history associated with a tie like there is with the blood stripe on the trousers of the dress blue uniform. The white cover on the dress cap and the bright Eagle Globe and Anchor device on the front don't have any comparisons in civilian attire. If you want to see the impact the military has had on civilian life just watch the news tonight and see how the SWAT teams dress when they go about their business. Without the military influence and training there would be no SWAT teams, no Hostage Rescue Teams, and cops probably wouldn't be wearing uniforms. They recognized the value of unit cohesion, instant recognition of organization and the psychological impact on each other and criminals by wearing a uniform. And sometimes it's just plain cool.
After active duty ends in the Marine Corps the only uniform authorized for wear is the dress blue and then only if the individual meets the regulations of appearance and demeanor of a currently serving active duty Marine. That isn't easy to meet, trust me! Hair cuts and extra weight are a big deal and when you get to the sunset of your life the hair cut is much easier to deal with than the weight. But it does feel good when you slip on the Dress Blue uniform with white gloves and cap and it still fits, albeit snugly. And it brings back the sense of accomplishment and brotherhood and Marine Corps pride that a suit and tie can never offer. So on the rare occasion I get to slip on that uniform to pay tribute to the real heroes who wear it on a regular basis it makes me proud I had a chance to serve my country and be a part of something bigger than any one individual. I'm glad i was ready when my country called and I had the chance to wear the uniform.
Happy 235th birthday Marines!

This year the Urdd Eisteddfod was held in Glynllifon, near Caernarfon in Gwynedd. It was the first of our many summer shows and events in 2012. The Assembly Outreach Bus opened its’ doors to the public on the first day of the festival and welcomed over 800 visitors including many competitors. The activities on the bus were very popular including the Bus Quiz, where children had to find information relating to the Assembly using the information panels inside the bus and the illustration outside. The feedback form was also popular as it offered a chance to win a digital camera, encouraging people to participate in the Presiding Officer’s photography competition.
Our main attraction for this year’s summer shows was the Member Wall outside the bus. Members of the public could see which AMs represented them and postcards were available for them to highlight any issues that affected them or their local area and stick to their constituency or region on the map of wales. We hope to feedback the results to Members to show what subjects are of importance to their electors. The main issues that cropped up during the week were within the Sport & Recreation and Environment subject areas.
On Monday Simon Thomas AM for Mid & West Wales held a drop in session, he spoke to Schoolchildren about highways and transport issues in Wales. Mike Hedges AM for Swansea East also held a drop in session on Wednesday and spoke to members of the public about his role in the Assembly.
Unfortunately the rain and mud affected the attendance figures which dwindled towards the end of the week. Despite this we had over 2000 visitors on the bus to learn about the Assembly and how they can have their say.
The next stop will be at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod 3rd – 7th of July. Come and see us there if you didn’t get the chance to visit us at the Urdd.
Cynhelir Eisteddfod yr Urdd eleni yng Nglynllifon, ger Caernarfon yng Ngwynedd. Hwn oedd y digwyddiad cyntaf yng nghalendr sioeau haf y bws Allgymorth y flwyddyn hon. Egyr drysau’r bws i’r cyhoedd ar ddiwrnod cyntaf yr ŵyl gan groesawu dros 800 o ymwelwyr gan gynnwys sawl cystadleuydd. Roedd gweithgareddau ar y bws yn hynod o boblogaidd megis Cwis y Bws. Roedd rhaid i blant ddarganfod gwybodaeth am y Cynulliad gan ddefnyddio’r paneli gwybodaeth tu fewn i’r bws, ac wrth edrych ar y murlun tu allan. Hybwyd cyfranogiad yng nghystadleuaeth ffotograffiaeth y Llywydd gan gynnig cyfle i ennill camera digidol wrth lenwi ffurflen adborth.
Atyniad pennaf y bws oedd Wal yr Aelodau. Galluogodd hyn i aelodau’r cyhoedd ddarganfod pwy oedd yn eu cynrychioli nhw yn ogystal ag amlygu unrhyw faterion oedd yn eu poeni nhw yn eu hardaloedd lleol ar gardiau post oedd yn cael eu glynu ar fap o Gymru. Gobeithiwn i adborthi’r canlyniadau i’r Aelodau I ddangos pa bynciau sydd o bwys i'w hetholwyr. Y pynciau oedd yn codi amlaf oedd o fewn meysydd pwnc Chwaraeon & Hamdden a'r Amgylchedd.
Dydd Llun daeth Simon Thomas AC i Ganolbarth & Gorllewin Cymru I ddal sesiwn galw heibio ar y bws, fe gafodd sgwrs gyda phlant ysgol am faterion yn ymwneud a Phriffyrdd a Thrafnidiaeth yng Nghymru. Daeth Mike Hedges AC I Ddwyrain Abertawe ar y bws hefyd, gan sgwrsio gydag aelodau’r cyhoedd am ei rôl ef yn y Cynulliad.
Yn anffodus, lleihaodd y nifer o ymwelwyr i’r maes tuag at ddiwedd yr wythnos oherwydd y glaw a'r mwd. Serch hynny fe groesawyd dros 2000 o ymwelwyr ar y bws i ddysgu mwy am y Cynulliad a sut i ddweud eu barn.
Os nad oedd cyfle gennych i ddod draw i’r bws yn Eisteddfod yr Urdd, dewch draw i Eisteddfod Ryngwladol Llangollen rhwng 3ydd - 7fed o Orffennaf, dyma fydd arhosfa nesa’r bws.

Estate Collections often contain material relating to other properties, and this is no exception. This image shows the first page of an inventory of the effects of Sir Henry Ingram, 1st Viscount Irvine (1641-1666), a title created by the Peerage of Scotland. His mother was Eleanor Slingsby, a cousin of the Slingsbys who held the Manor of Kippax and were related to the Graham’s through marriage.
The inventory, taken after Sir Henry’s death in August 1666, at Temple Newsam, is a twenty page document and shows, room by room, what was held therein. As you can see from the first page here, the ‘best chamber over the kitching’, being used as a bed chamber, is richly furnished with tapestries, carpets, quilts, blankets and fabrics such as dimothy (dimity), sarcenett (sarsenet), damask and velvet, plus serge and worstead for the items requiring heavier use.
The trusted appraisers comprised Sir John Lewis (1615-1671) of Ledstone (8 miles SE of Temple Newsam) who had acquired his large fortune from trading in Persia and India and had been invested as a Knight at The Hague, in 1660. He was created a Baronet later that same year and held several manors in Yorkshire.
Henry Bethell (c.1606-1668) had held several Offices within Yorkshire and was MP for Knaresborough in 1660. He was the son of Mary Slingsby, sister to Eleanor Slingsby and therefore, a cousin of Sir Henry Ingram.
Finally, William Marwood, not to be confused with a nineteenth century hangman of the same name! This William Marwood was brother-in-law to Henry Bethell mentioned above, whose sister Frances had married William’s brother George, a Sherriff of York.

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
Most of these are shot outdoors where I have the room to literally spin and throw my little camera several feet up into the air, with some throws going as high as 15 feet or more!
None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.
Albeit supremely risky this is one of my favorite ways to produce abstract photographs.

The name "Phibsborough" comes from "Phipps" or "Phibbs." This is believed to relate to an English settler in Kilmainham, from the mid-17th century, the spelling being cited as Phippsborough in 1792.
The word Endurance as an Adjective is defined as:
denoting or relating to a race or other sporting event that takes place over a long distance or otherwise demands great physical stamina.
However, I feel the best way to describe how this season has gone is to use the Noun definition of the word: the fact or power of enduring an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way
The 3rd and final race of the 2016 season was held at the postponed Bang Saen Festival of Speed. The championship standings showed the #36 Toyota with such a commanding lead from the first two races that only a small miracle would see TR-Motorsport crowned as champions. However unlikely it may be the scenario was Thomas and the DC5 to finish in first while the Toyota failed to cross the line at all, being the slowest car on the grid - this was tall order!
As with all the endurance races this season the team was beset by mechanical issues.During the extended practice period, gearbox and clutch problems arose resulting in a complete change out of the gearbox. Luckily this rectified the problems and the team were ready for qualifying. Tony Percy, longtime friend of the team and co-driver took the reins of the Honda Integra DC5, with the previous issues still fresh in his mind Tony gently eased the car through qualifying and into a respectable 9th place, which is was an outstanding achievement considering that there were 61 other cars on the track at the same time all vying for a clean lap.
As with all endurance races the 6 hours is split between drivers, for the first stint, Tony pushed the Integra into 7th before the first changeover. The safety car period eventually became a red flagged race and all cars returned to the pits resulting in the team losing any advantage they had gained. Seven cars had been involved in the on-track pileup and although this meant fewer cars in the race and more space on track it took several hours to remove the cars and fix the damaged barriers.
At the restart, Thomas powered his way into 2nd place overall and was somehow setting faster times than the leading Toyota. He consolidated his position up until the next driver change however the gremlins were back playing with the clutch again causing the car to struggle to change gear. Eventually, all the gears except 4th had failed with Tony limping around the circuit. The decision was then made to pit early and see if the issue could be solved. No fix could be applied so it was 4th gear all the way to the chequered flag for the final 1 hour 24 minutes. Ironically the leading Toyota crashed several times and finished dead last but this was still enough to win the championship. TR-Motorsport finished 4th in class,later promoted to 3rd as another team had received a 30 lap penalty for a jump start behind the safety car.
TR-Motorsports final position in the Enduring Endurance Championship was 3rd in class, with just a little bit more luck who knows what might have been……
Super Production Class
Race One
An eventful weekend of racing greeted TR-Motorsport at the final rounds of the Thailand Super Series held at the picturesque Bang Saen Beach Street Circuit. The final event had been postponed from November ’16 to February ’17 due to the passing of the late King. With the postponement came a long gap giving us the perfect opportunity to concentrate on some R & D in the hope of closing the gap to Championship Victor Hideharu Kuroki. After some minor tweaks to the car, a major redesign of the front Air Intake was undertaken which provided very encouraging results after completing several simulations on the Dyno equipment.
Simulations are all well and good, however, it’s on the track where it counts and Thomas fully obliged with the fastest lap around the circuit in official practice. When qualifying began both Thomas and Hideharu were setting fastest lap after fastest lap, nip and tuck all the way. Eventually, Thomas managed to claim a fantastic Pole Position by just one-tenth of a second from Hideharu, being Pole on a tight and twisty circuit is always vital so the race to the first corner could possibly decide the race.
Due to our first gear ratio being longer and the race to the first corner uphill we knew wewould be at a disadvantage. Thomas got off the line perfectly and stormed up the hill defending his line to the left to try and outwit Hideharu who was virtually alongside the ‘Blue Blur’, paint was traded several times before Hideharu backed out and slotted in behind to mount another challenge. The final corner of lap 1 caused a gasp from the TR-Motorsport team and fans as Hideharu once again tried a move, this time on the inside but again showed professionalism by backing off at the right time.
By the middle of lap 2 Thomas had pulled out a small lead and held on for the remainder of the race even breaking the lap record on several occasions, Hideharu pushed Thomas all the way to the chequered flag and saw his 100% record gone as Thomas, 10 years after his first win at Bang Saen came home with the spoils and a much needed 20 points, cementing his second place position in the championship.
Race 2
After the elation of the previous victory had faded, the team of mechanics led by Sven Thummel got to work on the car to check everything over and prepare for Race 2. The team soon spotted an issue with the wishbones as the bushings were damaged and as a precautionary measure these were duly replaced. As with all previous rounds, the top 5 finishers from Race 1 started in reverse order meaning Thomas would start from 5th. As the cars assembled on the grid all looked good and a top 3 position looked more than possible.
As the car left for the warm lap Thomas felt an issue with the steering although not terminal, Thomas made the wisest choice to visit the pits to try and ascertain what the issue was. The team of mechanics could not find anything obvious so the car headed back out on track. People reading this familiar with the rules and regulations of motorsport, will of course know that our little visit to the pits would mean starting at the back of the grid, this was only compounded by the fact that due to a miscommunication with the stewards we forced to wait at the pit lane exit some 600 meters away from the back of the grid!
Regular readers will know that we have had similar issues before and still come out on top. However, today was not going to be one of those days! The first 3 laps of the race went perfectly with Thomas making his way through the field from a lowly 19th to a respectable 10th. The racing gods were smiling on us as a safety car deployment bunched the whole pack back up and with 9 laps to go top 3 was still an outside possibility. In came the safety car down went the throttle and that's where the problems began, a massive loss of power resulted in cars streaming past a limping Thomas. On the pit to car radio turning the electrics on and off to reset the car,was suggested - it worked! But by now Thomas was once again at the back of the grid. For the remaining laps, a valiant Thomas fought back to a very respectful 8th place and again set the fastest lap and broke the track record for the Super Production Class.
After the race, the car was checked over by the official Thailand Super Series scrutineers and as with all races we have competed in this year,they found nothing to report. Although dejected the team were still in good spirits after another great week of motorsport at Bang Saen Beach and look forward to returning in July to compete in the GTC Supercar Class with the new Porsche 911 (997).

Co-sponsored by Bitch Media and Museum of Contemporary Craft, this event is a two-fold investigation into conversations relating to women in the field of design, both as creators and as consumers.
First, a panel will discuss the role of women in the design industry and how a female perspective helps to define design today. Portland-based designers Julie Beeler, Kate Bingaman-Burt, Sara Huston, and architect Carrie Strickland will give voice to their experience in a male-dominated field and articulate how the gender landscape has changed since the start of their own careers. Plus, a reading on Architect Barbie: How do pink and blue toys influence gender stereotypes for future designers?
Second, a women in design pecha kucha organized in collaboration with LAWD, (the League of Awesome Women Designers), will feature work being done across the field in rapid-fire sequence.
The entire program will be moderated by Namita Gupta Wiggers.

Glebe Sugar Refinery, Ker Street, Greenock, Scotland
Many buildings relating to Greenock’s industrial heritage have been lost but here you see the wedge shaped Glebe sugar refinery built in 1840. It is the only surviving sugar house in Greenock which used to have over 20 such establishments.
Sugar refining began in Greenock in 1745. Most of the raw cane sugar was imported from the West Indies. Prominent amongst the refiners and the most successful was Greenock born Abram Lyle. He owned the Glebe sugar refinery and is also credited with the invention of syrup. In WW2 allied troops were billeted there.
