This rambling text relates to these 3 images but they are not necessarily posted in order… I am not sure that you will all (or any of you!) be able to make sense of it …but here goes
I have recently seen a few explanations of how to draw ellipses by enclosing it in a square that is in perspective. I discovered that setup trick quite a few years back but it never really helped me draw teacups because I never setup a perspective for my tea cup sketches and it is hard to work out where the square is anyway. At one stage I had a little sheet of plastic I would put over the top of the cup to help me see the square…but that was SILLY (kept the tea warm though while I was draw the cup!)
Coincidentally around the time of those other explanations appeared, I happened to be doing my own crazy analysis of circles and centre-points. This was in preparation for the start of my class (way back in late April) I took some photos of a lid with centre-points marked and tried to get a grip on how the centre-point varied and with very inaccurate photos I did some crazily accurate measurement on my CAD programme. This was a true left brain moment!
I then had a total brain switch (to the right hand side) and thought.."the shape I am looking at is a true ellipse which is bounded by a rectangle and the centrepoint is in the centre. My head went into a spin and I need an emergency call to the perspective guru - Gerard. Anyway, he set me straight. But I didn't get around to putting it all together…or how to find a way to explain my dilemma about how the circle can have a different centre-point from the ellipse… but it normally does! (Gerard agrees!)
The long and the short of all this rambling is that totally regardless of my analysis…
to draw a tea cup all I do is
1. establish a vertical axis that will pass through the centre of cup rim, base and saucer
2. 'measure' the height and the width of the cup. And draw a cross-hair with these distances meeting at the centre-point.
3. Draw an ellipse connecting these points… if you need more set up- think of a squashed circle in a rectangle and use the 'little less than 3/4 rule for the diagonal)
4. do this for each of the edges of the cup/saucer
5. accept that they might be wonky… colour and pattern will make up for it!
Especially wonky to be expected if one draws slower than normal speed like I did here
Ok… have I confused everyone???
My best advise: go and make yourself a cup of tea and draw what you see!!!

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.

For this week's assignment, I chose to post five photos about an issue that concerns me. I chose to capture photos relating to drug use and its abuse by millions of people every day. I do not have a drug problem myself, although the issue is very close to me because my uncle lost his life to alcoholism and a couple of my very close friends have had trouble overcoming an addiction. I also chose to change the colored background to a subtle greyscale to convey the seriousness of the issue. The first photo is of a cigarette that I found in front of my house. It was left by one of our landscapers and I chose this photo because it looks even more dangerous with a small plant right next to it, showing that its main ingredient tobacco is a plant itself. The second photo shows an empty recycle bin filled with wine and beer bottles. I chose this photo because it shows how something so attainable like alcohol, can still have deadly consequences when abused. The third photo is from my home and it shows our collection of various liquors and spirits. My family does enjoy collecting wine as well, and we always try to have a variety of drinks because we entertain a lot. I chose this photo because it is interesting to see how something as popular as alcohol still needs to be taken responsibly. The fourth photo displays various prescription and over-the-counter drugs along with a heart monitor. I chose this photo because drug overdoses are not only extremely dangerous, but they are also very easily accesible to those who wish to abuse them. The last photo is of my Sociology textbook with an empty whiskey bottle in the back and a drug bottle. I chose this photo because the course is very important to me and it explains how people need to be much more responsible about drug use and its abuse.

Marakoopa Cave is a wet cave and contains spectacular decoration, sediment deposits relating to past periods of glaciations and significant communities of cave fauna – including the largest glow-worm display in any public-access cave in Australia.
Typical of a wet cave, Marakoopa Cave displays signs of former stream activity in its upper levels, including stratified deposits of sand, clay and conglomerate.
Marakoopa Cave contains numerous attractively decorated chambers on different levels, extensive areas of flowstone and a variety of other interesting formations.
Marakoopa Cave has four surface openings associated with the entrance and exit of the two creeks which run through the cave, three of which are navigable. These two streams, known as Long Creek and Short Creek, begin as runoff from the slopes of Western Bluff, some 100 metres above the cave, and have created two independent cave passages.
A little background on the development of Marakoopa Cave
Like King Solomons Cave, Marakoopa Cave was first discovered in 1906 and it was initially known as Byards Cave. Two boys, James and Harry Byard, are believed to have originally entered the cave via its top entrance. The boys kept their discovery a secret, returning to the cave in 1910. James Byard obtained a land grant which included the cave area and its discovery became common knowledge in 1911, by which time a track had been cut to the river entrance, which is currently in use, and a heavy iron door covered the entrance.
In 1912 Marakoopa Cave was opened to the public, lit by 24 handheld carbide bicycle lamps which were carried by James, Harry and their younger siblings. In 1921 the cave was purchased from James Byard by the Tasmanian Government Tourist Bureau, but Harry stayed on as a guide for a number of years and helped with the installation of the first electric lighting system, switched on in May 1940 by the then Premier of Tasmania.
* 'The Building of an Icon' using 'air-borne' traction!
As 'promised', this is a follow up to the 7-part mosaic piece relating to Adrian Wynn's pictures in the Meadowhall area taken in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the 17th set, see-
www.flickr.com/photos/vinc2020/54893486202/
This 'follow-up' could almost be a 'Window on the Past' piece in its own right as there is much interest in the 4 pictures, all taken, this time during the building of Meadowhall, after all the old industrial infrastructure was swept away. I have to confess however, I know nothing of the 'aerial acrobatics' which took place when the site was being developed and access to certain areas would be clearly easiest by helicopter.
The helicopter in the 4 sots was a Sikorsky S-61N Mk.II, C/N 61-476, Built in 1970, built by 'British International Helicopters', registration number/call sign, G-AYOY.
See the following for more information about the early days of this mode of transport provided by, B.I.H, British International Helicopters-
www.helis.com/database/cn/186/
www.helis.com/database/model/687/
www.helis.com/database/modelorg/BIH-S-61/
As of November 2012, British International Helicopters ceased all helicopter flights to the Isles of Scilly and subsequently, the company went into liquidation. However, this site, Helis.com, indicates that B.I.H was acquired by 'Bristow', 22nd August, 2022, and is now named 'Bristow B.I.H.' adopting the former's name & branding, see-
www.helis.com/database/news/bih-bristow-acquisition/
In these four pictures, taken in 1988, as the Meadowhall development was rising from the ashes of the old industrial past, the Sikorsky Helicopter can be seen flying in with some construction part at top left then with an empty payload at top right. Below,G-AYOY is seen hoisting another load, this time flying towards the east, I am not sure if this isn't the same as the ones above but the negative numbers are in sequence so it looks as if there had been two 'lifts'. Further, there is one of these pictures in Adrian's book on Sheffield, 'A View of Sheffield 1982-1992', pub. by 'Pickard Communication' with the obvious caption, 'Construction of the Meadowhall shopping centre, 1988', on page 19.
In all four pictures, there are some intriguing glimpses of some still extant industries in the background at either side of the Meadowhall 'dome', an easily recognisable feature, then and now.. I have tried to work out what the buildings are, starting from the far left and over to the far right-
* Upper left & right. Look to the south-east and are dominated by the 'Shepcote Lane Steelworks' at both left and right of the dome, these works were still extant until quite recently but the are has now largely been taken over by new industrial buildings. To the right of these works, hidden somewhat in the diffused light, is the still extant but now 'Marcegaglia', S.M.A.C.C., 'Stainless Melting and Continuous Casting' & Alloy Steel Rods facility. The foreground sis dominated bye the also still extant, Meadowhall Electric Sub-Station. At far left in the upper-right shot, standing dimly in the haze, and having nothing to do with the industrial aspect of the site, is the still extant 2-story block of brownish looking flats on Ingfield Avenue off Bawtry Road, just 100m from the M1 motorway; it must be a noisy place...
* Lower left. With the camera now pointing to the right, south, of the dome, The Tinsley Wire Industries building can be made out in the gloom whilst just behind it, once more are the 'Shepcote Lane Steelworks' extending across much of the background. Somewhere, also in the gloom, to the left of the cube-shaped building, is Tinsley Yard. The road running across the picture in the foreground with a bridge over the River Don, is Meadowhall Road. The red-brick building at lower left, along Meadowhall Road, is still present and is a heavily fenced-off area, part of the Electric Sub-Station. Obviously, a lot has to happen before it looks like it does these days, 37 years after these pictures were taken.
* Lower right Now with camera viewpoint over to the south-east, looking in the Tinsley Viaduct direction looking, the prominent 2-story block of brownish looking flats on Ingfield Avenue off Bawtry Road can once more be made out, with a perfectly clear view over to them, 100m behind the M1 motorway. Directly in front of the flats, easily visible in those days, not so much now, one of Meadowhall's smaller, 'pointy towers' can be seen under construction quite close to the River Don loop around the site, and one of its attendant, tall NAtional Grid pylons. To the right of this, between the red jib of the crane and the dome, Tinsley Wire can now be seen on Sheffield Road and the cubic looking building of the 'Shepcote Lane Steelworks'. Part of the S.M.A.C.C. works can also be seen at the far right edge,,,
There may well be other features in the pictures which I have missed and I would be interested to know about these...

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.

Urban (ɜːʳbən) adjective [usually ADJECTIVE noun]
Urban means belonging to, or relating to, a town or city.
Arborist (ˈɑːrbərɪst)
noun
A specialist in the cultivation and care of trees and shrubs, including tree surgery, the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of tree diseases, and the control of pests
collinsdictionary.com
How do you manage trees that were planted in the 1960s as part of post-war housing development in the third decade of the 21st Millennium? With great care, dinosaur smoke and mankind’s great pursuit in conquest over nature.
The process being undertaken in these photos is what's called pollarding, where a trees limbs are removed entirely to encourage later dense growth within 1 to 2 years. Only certain species of trees can handle this brutal operation, like these London Plane trees here. Once a tree is pollarded, it has to be regularly maintained in 5-10 year operations.
Historically, wood harvested from this method would be used to feed livestock or for light timber, but these days, thanks to the infernal combustion engine, two operatives can pollard five trees in as many hours, with the tree limbs being quite violently mechanically separated and carted off to be used either as mulch or biofuel.
I find arboriculture rather fascinating; living amongst the trees in an urban environment, arborists have been a regular sight over the years, performing everything from whole tree clearings to dead wood pruning, I’ve seen them do a lot.
It’s a highly skilled profession with some of the most dangerous and violent tools possible in the workplace – Darwin Award nominees are quickly weeded out.
There is a strange beauty to the brutality of efficiency, especially towards articles of nature.
This color represents compassion, nurturing and love. It relates to unconditional love and understanding, and the giving and receiving of nurturing.
A combination of red and white, pink contains the need for action of red, helping it to achieve the potential for success and insight offered by white. It is the passion and power of red softened with the purity, openness and completeness of white. The deeper the pink, the more passion and energy it exhibits.
Pink is feminine and romantic, affectionate and intimate, thoughtful and caring. It tones down the physical passion of red replacing it with a gentle loving energy.
Pink is intuitive and insightful, showing tenderness and kindness with its empathy and sensitivity.
In color psychology, pink is a sign of hope. It is a positive color inspiring warm and comforting feelings, a sense that everything will be okay.
Pink calms and reassures our emotional energies, alleviating feelings of anger, aggression, resentment, abandonment and neglect. Studies have confirmed that exposure to large amounts of pink can have a calming effect on the nerves and create physical weakness in people. Violent and aggressive prisoners have been successfully calmed by placing them in a pink room for a specified amount of time. Exposure for too long can have the opposite effect.
The color pink puts people in touch with the nurturing side of themselves, through either the need to receive or the need to give, nurturing and TLC (tender loving care!). Be aware of this if you have a friend who constantly wears pink as it may indicate a need for acceptance, support and unconditional love!
Pink is a non-threatening color seeking appreciation, respect and admiration. It doesn't like to be taken for granted and just loves to hear the words 'thank you'.
Pink can signify good health, being 'in the pink', and success as in 'everything's rosy'.
The color pink represents the sweetness and innocence of the child in all of us. It is the color of uncomplicated emotions, inexperience and naiveté. A constant and exclusive use of pink can often lead you to become immature, silly and girlish, abandoning your adult responsibilities.
Pink can also remind you of earlier childhood memories, associated with nurturing and comfort from your mother or a mother figure.
Pink, from a negative color meaning, can represent a lack of will power, a lack of self-reliance and a lack of self-worth. It can indicate an overly emotional and overly cautious nature.
Combining pink with other darker colors such as dark blue, dark green, black or gray, adds strength and sophistication to pink.

SLV title: Aerial views of buildings and factories, possibly relating to the agricultural industry, Clayton, Victoria.
Author /Creator: Airspy (Firm), photographer.
Date: 1956-10-08
The main building seen here is still part of the Clayton Business Park. The site, in Clayton South, was for some time a hub of automobile assembly and manufacture for the Volkswagen and Nissan brands. Volkswagen assembly began in 1954, using the Martin & King factory on Centre Road. Martin & King, railway and car coach builders (hence the railway tracks visible here), built the factory in 1951 and in 1952 announced a plan to assemble knocked-down Jowett Javelin cars at Clayton, but
Jowett ceased production in of the type in 1953 and
Locally built Volkswagen content rose to 95% before losses in the late 1960s saw a renewed emphasis on imported components and direct Volkswagen Australia management of the site give way to Motor Producers Ltd, a Volkswagen subsidiary, 1968. This company diversified the output of the Clayton plant to feature other marques, including Nissan Datsuns and Volvos. In 1976, Motor Producers Ltd and the Clayton factory were sold to Nissan, which, despite significant investment in the site, closed the factory in 1992.
Although outside the City of Monash, the site was within one of Monash's predecessors, the City of Oakleigh. Clayton, and later Clayton South, was the suburb's name during its time as a major vehicle production line.

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final

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.

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.

I've recently been very kindly gifted a fine item of ephemera relating to the Scottish General Omnibus Company Limited in the form of a booklet of six black and white photographs of locations on the Company's Braemar coach tour that has four colour cover plates. You rarely see much for the Scottish General so this is of particular interest.
The Scottish General appears to have been formed by the British Electric Traction concern in 1913, possibly to assist in developing road transport to supplement their tramway operation in the area. It may also have been one of the post-WW1 transport companies that made much use of both demobbed military staff versed in the maintenance of motor vehicles as well as the surplus sales of such vehicles to the civilian market. By the mid-1920 the company, whose managing director appears to be one D. Hays, had expanded from their original route which is shown as running from Bridge of Allan to Bannockburn via Stirling and St. Ninians. The company are also noted, in Commercial Motor for 1 April 1924, as running extensive motor coach tours such as this one to Braemar.
By the late 1920s the motor bus business was a crowded field and was expanding at a time of considerable technological development in vehicles - both of which required capital investment. From 1929/30 the main line railways, seeing that bus operation was a threat that buying into may help contain or generate additional profits for them, started to buy into existing bus companies. In Scotland this rapidly coalesced around the Edinburgh based Scottish Motor Traction Co. Ltd. who used the railways financial muscle to acquire, as subsidiaries, various other major concerns such as the Falkirk based W. Alexander & Sons, who also built bus bodies and still do to this day. W.. Alexander's acquired the Scottish General on behalf of SMT in 1929 and this added routes, vehicles and garages both in Central Scotland and, through an associated concern, up towards Aberdeen giving Alexander's a considerable operating area.
As can be seen from this booklet the SGOC had depots in Larbert, Stirling, Dunfermline and Crieff. I note these more 'central' Scottish locations as it appears that the SGOC, upon acquisition, was renamed as Western SMT and formed the basis of that subsidiary that was to develop an extensive operating territory in the counties to the south west of Glasgow. The use and renaming of existing companies was not unusual as it was a simpler way of setting up and operation and using its administration rather than setting up another concern.
Anyhow, the artworks are signed as by "D.M.R." and use scenery and hunour to market and advertise the General's tours that also seem to have included passing a blacksmith!

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.

Bangor Scorers: David Charles 1 try.
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.
Relating to others will put you in restlessness. Putting your faith in others (which is worse) means you are going to set yourself up for a loss.

I'm not sure these pictures relate the sense of size of the container ships close-up. The third dimension is missing in most of them.
Some of the older chaps on the deck were old dockers and were relating tales about how some of the first of the overhead cranes to be installed overbalanced and fell over. Urban Myth or Reality?
*************************
Our Physio was 40 this year and celebrated with an evening cruise for family, friends, and clients.
As we've contributed a fair amount towards the cost of the evening over the years of regular treatment for dance and cycling related injuries we accepted and had a good night.
We pootled slowly from Ocean Village to Calshot.
Original plan was to go up and down the solent but it was a bit choppy so we turned round and went back up the Test past the container port almost as far as Redbridge.

From the poster ‘Carnival,’ the inspiration to create a more relatable, sporting piece was inevitable. Therefore by using a trainer and a stiletto, I created a new type of shoe showing a Darwinian experience of the morphing from a normal sports shoe to a stiletto.
Using PowerPoint and Photoshop, I was able to crop, rotate and group many of the photos which I had taken of the trainer as primary research to produce the first morphed trainer. By using the basic shape of a short healed stiletto, I layered each of the pictures in turn to make sure every line and lace was in place. The next step was to show the trainer in the form of the normal stiletto shape and therefore created the three stages of the evaluation.
The change in scale of the evolving shoe gives the feeling of progress incorporating a time scale to the poster and symmetry between each picture. The background was also created with symmetry in mind. Using the picture of the stripy legs, I was still able to keep the multi-sex colours and showed a basic link towards the white shoes. However, to give the poster a sense of movement and a creative edge, I added a trail to portray a track in which the competitors would run. Also by adding a figure at the end of the track, it shows a relatable side to the viewer.
I soon realized that using any text with colour onto the background would not contrast enough to stand out; therefore by using the black rectangular shape, it broke the poster up to make the text jump out the page. I used the blue/green colour so that the text would be relatable to Brighton incorporating the colour of the sea front railings and therefore the lower text (purple) to connect with the trainer.
I believe this poster shows a relatable side to the sport and basing the piece on Stephen Smith who used bold shapes and twists text showed me that the compositions do not have to be overcrowded or direct the eye in every angle to the piece, usually having one main object is enough to inspire people.
In the end, I believe this piece is a multi-sexual, combining sport and fashion within the shoe and brings an iconic activity to amuse and create fun.

Enigma, by definition, relates to something mysterious and complex.
My PhD research examines the most effective methods for teaching Chinese as a foreign language to beginner learners, with a focus on one of the most alien and complicated aspects of learning Chinese: the characters. Preliminary results from my PhD research suggest that repetition and use of colour are most beneficial to beginner learners in the acquisition and memorisation of character composition.
Much like a dancer, learners are required to repeat an action (writing the character) in order to successfully ingrain the particular sequence and shape (of the character) in the muscle memory. This self-portrait encapsulates the enigma of Chinese characters through a dancer, who also represents this tedious road to muscle memory. I chose to embody the Chinese character for female (女 - nǚ), as the female body in itself is an enigmatic entity.
This image relates to my research question "Can you tell a person's sexuality by their clothes?" because it depicts a grown man in the stages of transforming himself into a drag queen. People assume that if you are a drag queen that automatically means you are gay. Now this is not the case, just because a man dresses like a woman or a woman dresses like a man, that does not mean that they are gay or lesbian. Most people that dress in drag do so because they find it fun and enjoy the attention it brings when they are in a drag show, or maybe it happens to be a turn on to their significant other. This is another reason I choose this question, because I wondered why when people see someone they think they understand as being gay, they instantly come to the conclusion that they are in fact gay.
Design Brief: To produce a piece relating to the body
For this project we were given a very wide brief which gave me the opportunity to look at different ways of working. These wire sculptures were produced over 3 weeks and stand about a foot high. The idea behind them was 'body shape fashion' and how the fashion of a woman's figure has changed over time. One figure is very geometric (Tudors, Stewarts etc), one is very shapely with large hips (Roman and Greeks) and the last is more modern with a tiny waist.

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.

HB811 (Relating to Energy Information Reporting) simplifies the registration and reporting process for fuel distributors. Part of the Governor's legislative package, the bill also amends Public Utilities Commission (PUC) responsibilities and powers in relation to energy industry information reporting and allows the state Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to receive energy industry information.
HB1405 (Relating to the Public Utilities Commission) requires the PUC to include a summary of the power purchase agreements in effect during the fiscal year in its annual report to the Governor. It also expands the use of the public benefits fee to support clean energy technology, demand response technology, energy use reduction, and demand-side management infrastructure.
SB19 (Relating to Renewable Energy) removes barriers for landlords to invest in renewable energy and allows renters/tenants to benefit from lower energy costs. The bill also exempts landlords and lessors who install renewable energy systems on their property and provide, sell or transmit electricity generated from those systems to tenants or lessees.
HB1149 (Relating to Wind Energy Facilities) requires a wind energy facility owner to be responsible for facility decommissioning and provide evidence of financial security unless the owner has an existing lease or other agreement that provides for decommissioning. It also establishes standards and assurances of adequate financial resources to avoid abandoned or neglected wind energy facilities.
