Jockey Daniel Centeno won two races at Tampa Bay Downs on Tuesday to record his 124th win of the meeting and break the 14-year-old record for victories in a single season at the Oldsmar, Florida, track.
Centeno guided Alie Took a Chance to a front-running win as the 2.20-to-1 favorite in the second race and secured the milestone victory with an 11 1/4-length romp aboard 3-to-5 favorite Ide Rejoice in the eighth race.
Ide Rejoice opened a clear lead under Centeno and set an uncontested pace in the 1 1/16-mile claiming race on a sloppy main track that was sealed. The six-year-old Ide gelding, trained by Bruce Alexander, powered to a commanding lead in early stretch to win comfortably.
“It’s so exciting,” Centeno said. “We made it—we did it! I looked back at the quarter pole and knew my horse had won it. It was his first time in the slop today and he ran wire to wire.”
Centeno surpassed the previous record of 123 wins held by both Willie Martinez (1991-’92) and William Henry (1992-‘93). Centeno also moved past Russell Baze to take over as the leading North American rider by victories with 108 wins.

The reimposition of checks at the Schengen area’s internal borders has put one of the greatest and most tangible achievements of the European project at risk, observed most MEPs speaking in a debate with the Commission and the Council on Wednesday. They agreed that, in order to restore the normal functioning of the passport-free zone, the EU’s external borders need to be properly secured.

The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was published by the Photochrom Co. Ltd. They state on the divided back of the card that it is an all-British production.
The Photochrom Co. Ltd.
The Photochrom Co. Ltd. of London and Royal Tunbridge Wells originally produced Christmas cards before becoming a major publisher and printer of tourist albums, guide books, and postcards.
These mainly captured worldwide views as real photos, or were printed in black & white, monochrome, and color.
They also published many advertising, comic, silhouette, novelty, panoramic, and notable artist-signed cards in named series as well. The huge number of titles that Photochrom produced may well exceed 40,000.
In 1896 they took over Fussli’s London office established three years earlier, and began publishing similar photo-chromolithographic postcards after securing the exclusive English licence for the Swiss photochrom process.
This technique was used to produce a great number of view-cards of both England and Europe. While they captured the same fine details as the Swiss prints, their colours were much softer and reduced.
Apart from their better known photochroms, they produced their Celesque series of view-cards printed in tricolor.
One of the largest unnamed series that Photochrom produced was of view-cards printed in brown rotogravure. Many of these cards were simply hand coloured with a dominant red and blue, which gives these cards a distinct appearance. They are similar to cards produced in their Photogravure and Velvet Finish Series.
Photochrom postcard series include:
-- Night Series - Line block halftone over a blue tint depicting London.
-- Carbofoto Series - Black & white real photo cards.
-- Sepiatone Series - Sepia real photo cards.
-- Grano Series - View-cards printed in black & white.
-- Exclusive Photo-Color Series - View-cards printed in colour.
-- Duotype Process Series - View-cards printed in two tones.
The Cumberland Hotel
The building on the left is the enormous Cumberland Hotel.
The www.kzwp.com/ website created by Kattie Zion has a detailed history of the Cumberland Hotel building. She writes that:
"In 1901 the island site bounded by Oxford Street, Old Quebec Street, Bryanston Street and Great Cumberland Place, was progressively acquired by Joseph Lyons for the erection of the Cumberland Hotel.
The Cumberland project was formidable. The excavations alone entailed the removal of over 100,000 cubic yards of material, during which historical relics from all periods were unearthed. All building work was carried out by Lyons' own staff.
The Cumberland Hotel featured all the latest developments of comfort. It was sound-proofed, double glazed, air conditioned, and all 900 bed-rooms had their own en-suite. All air entering the hotel was filtered, including the supply to the kitchen areas. Here the exhaust was treated in order to eradicate cooking smells.
The structure consisted of thirteen floors, ten of them above ground and three below. Part of the hotel backbone was an enormous 100-ton girder which required the world's largest lorry to convey it. Fifteen thousand tons of steel-work was used in the hotel's construction. Four hundred thousand square feet of 'Empire grown timber' was used in the making of bedroom furniture.
The Cumberland Hotel officially opened its doors on the 12th. December 1933.
Two thousand staff were employed at the hotel, and a specially built annex provided accommodation for 300 girls who slept in single or double rooms. There was one bath to every four girls, and they ate in their own restaurant on the ground floor of the annex."
The Cumberland has seen many famous guests over the years; in the music world these include Bob Dylan, Diana Ross, Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Holly.
In the Spring of 2019 the hotel changed its name to the Hard Rock Hotel, but reverted back to the Cumberland name four years later in May 2023.
The 2014 Cumberland Hotel Hammer Attack
In April 2014 the Cumberland Hotel was the scene of a devastating hammer attack.
Three sisters, Ohoud, Khaloud and Fatima Al-Najjar were staying in adjoining rooms at the Cumberland Hotel in Marble Arch, when Philip Spence hit all three of them violently with a claw hammer.
Spence was able to enter their seventh floor room, which was not locked, after he walked in off the street.
Philip Spence
Thirty-three year old Philip Spence from Harlesden in north-west London carried out his attack in front of Khaloud’s three children, aged seven, ten and twelve.
He hit one of his victims, Ohoud al-Najjar, 34, with such force that her skull split open as her nine-year-old nephew cowered under the sheets next to her.
Spence was permanently excluded from school at the age of eight, smoked cannabis from the age of 11, and was addicted to crack cocaine and heroin by 18.
Spence’s history of violence includes chasing his landlord with a hammer and punching a woman at council offices in 2007, as well as biting a passer-by in 2011.
Spence has 37 convictions for 62 offences dating back to 1993.
The three women left their hotel rooms unlocked on the night of the attack in order to allow a fourth sister to return later in the evening.
The fourth sister, Sheika al-Mheiri, on returning discovered her sisters lying injured on the floor, with blood spattered on the walls.
Spence had fled the scene with a suitcase stuffed with iPads, gold jewellery and mobile phones, having dumped the hammer just outside the hotel.
CCTV footage captured Spence on a bus examining items that he had stolen from the women after his attack.
The Criminal Trial
A year later at his criminal trial, Spence’s barrister, William Nash, said in mitigation that his client had consumed a large amount of drugs at the time of the attack:
“He didn’t know of any other crackhead
as big as him. He can’t forgive himself.
He describes himself as being a totally
different person. He is not unempathetic.”
Nevertheless Spence was convicted of three counts of attempted murder.
The "hotel creeper" was initially ordered to serve life with a minimum of 18 years, but this was increased to 27 years on appeal.
The High Court Case
The BBC provided the following information on the 7th. May 2019 relating to the attack and its legal consequences:
"Three sisters who suffered devastating injuries in a hammer attack by a thief are suing the owners of the London hotel where it happened.
At the start of the case at the High Court, lawyers described the injuries to the women, who were from Abu Dhabi in the UAE:
-- Ohoud was left with five per cent brain capacity, and will require care for the rest of her life.
-- Khaloud has had 20 operations to rebuild her head and face.
-- Fatima cannot taste or smell, and has problems with her memory.
Spence admitted the attack,, but denied attempted murder.
The family's barrister, Susan Rodway, said that Spence - who had a history of sneaking into hotel rooms to steal - had "great knowledge and familiarity" of the Cumberland Hotel.
She said that he told his criminal trial he was a regular intruder at the hotel, and had even been able to sleep in maids' cupboards.
She added that security "failures" led Spence to directly target the hotel, where he knew he could make an easy buck from the rich pickings there.
The court heard that it was "well-known" to the hotel that it was common for Middle Eastern guests to leave doors on the latch in order to enable family members to go between rooms.
The hotel's owners deny liability, arguing that by leaving their door open, the women voluntarily assumed the obvious risk of allowing anyone to enter the room while they were asleep inside.
Neil Block QC, for the hotel, said in a written submission:
"Each guest room was fitted with a heavy duty
fire door with efficient self-closers and automatic
locks, deadlocks, security chains and spy-glasses.
The rooms were designed so that guests could
not leave them open accidentally."
He said that after the incident, police tested a closed bedroom door, and found it impossible to gain access with a hammer similar to that used by Mr Spence.
Ms Rodway said that the hotel's CCTV system was "purely reactive" and that:
"it was clearly only there to enable review
should an incident occur, but not to enable
any anticipation or prevention of an incident".
But Mr Block said the fact that there was no system for live monitoring of all 130 CCTV cameras at the hotel "was, and indeed remains, the norm for similar hotels".
He concluded:
"But for the deliberate interference with
the door's locking mechanism, the attack
would not have occurred."
The case is expected to last for two weeks."
The High Court Judgement
On Friday the 21st. June 2019, the High Court judge Mr. Justice Dingemans ruled that:
"There was no liability on the part of the
Cumberland Hotel to Ohoud, Khaloud
and Fatima for the attack carried out by
Mr Spence".
He said that the case raised issues about whether a hotel proprietor owes a duty to guests to take reasonable care to protect against injury caused by the criminal actions of third parties, and if so whether the duty was breached in this case.
Dingemans concluded that there was such a duty of care, but based on the facts of the case, there was no breach of that duty.
The judge said that:
"The hotel acted with reasonable care to
protect guests at the hotel against injury
caused by the criminal acts of third parties".
However Khaloud and Fatima said in a statement after the ruling:
"Re-living the horrors of that terrifying night
where we almost lost our lives has been
extremely traumatic for us to endure, and
we are devastated that it has all been for
nothing.
We lost our sister, and our lives were
changed forever when we were attacked
by Spence in the privacy of our own room."
Khaloud and Fatima said that they felt the decision was "a travesty" and that "justice has not been done".
A spokeswoman for the owner of the Cumberland, GLH Hotels, said after the ruling:
"We believe today's judgement is the
correct outcome.
Regardless, the al Najjar family's
experience was deeply shocking and
wholly unprecedented and we reiterate
our heartfelt concern for their well-being
as they continue to receive all necessary
support."

This can only be done through field research on the ground.”

„In den meisten EU-Beitrittsländern ist Diskriminierung aufgrund sexueller Orientierung weit verbreitet. Jeder lesbische, schwule oder bisexuelle Mensch, der seine sexuelle Orientierung nicht verborgen hält, geht ein sehr hohes Risiko ein. So fasst Nigel Warner von der „International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) die Situation in Osteuropa zusammen. Meinungsumfragen in mehreren osteuropäischen Ländern haben gezeigt, dass große Teile der Gesellschaft homophob sind, erklärte Warner. So haben in Rumänien fast neunzig Prozent, in Litauen nahezu siebzig Prozent und in Slowenien sechzig Prozent der Befragten erklärt, nicht in der Nähe von Homosexuellen wohnen zu wollen. Auf Grund der Nachteile im privaten wie auch beruflichen Leben scheuen sich viele Homo-, Bi- oder Transsexuelle, sich öffentlich zu ihrer sexuellen Identität zu bekennen. Gruppen und Organisationen, die sich für die Rechte von nicht-heterosexuellen Menschen einsetzen, entwickeln sich nur langsam und werden vielfach von staatlicher Seite behindert.

This is a photograph from finish of the fourth annual running of the AON Mullingar Half Marathon which was held on Saturday 17th March 2019 (St. Patrick's Day Lá Fhéile Pádraig 2018) in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 10:30. This photograph was taken at at the 13 mile mark in the home straight within Mullingar Town Park. Following on from the incredible success of the first three years of the race this year the total numbers participating rose from just under 600 in 2015, 900 in 2016, over 1200 in 2017 and yet again over 1200 this year. Proceeds raised by the AON Mullingar Half Marathon will go directly to T.E.A.M (Temporary Emergency Accommodation Midlands) finding safe & secure accommodation for homeless women and children. The roots of the successs of the event last year was the excellent organisation and a very flat and fast route. All of these characteristics were repeated this year except for the weather. This was a bitterly cold day with air temperatures struggling to get above 4C and a severe wind chill from an easterly breeze making it for very difficult running conditions. Indeed the race could be described as a race of two halves in terms of weather. The first half participants had the strong, cold easterly wind at their faces. However, turning for home along the Royal Canal this became a very strong tailwind for 4 - 5 miles from around Flynn's Machinery/Junction 14 M4. Participants travelled from all over Ireland with a very large participation from runners around Mullingar and the midlands. The race has an AAI permit. The course reverted to its original route this year. Last year saw a small change to the course configuration when the race crossed the M4 Motorway at The Downs via a winding pedestrian footbridge. This was not included this year.
The race began on Pearse Street/Austin Friar's Street in the town and proceeds North East out of the town to the N52 Delvin/Dundalk road towards Lough Sheever. The course then follows beautiful rural country roads out to The Downs at the M4. The only significant hill or rise on the course occurs here at about 7 miles when runners cross a pedestrian footbridge over the M4 near Junction 14 Thomas Flynn and Sons The Downs. The race then joins the now local access route of the old N4 road and then joins the Royal Canal at Great Down. The remainder of the race follows the Royal Canal back westward to Mullingar town. The towpath on the Canal is perfectly flat and in excellent condition. Runners will notice how the level of the canal changes dramatically along the route - at points the canal is level with the towpath. In other places the canal is at least 3 meters lower than the canal path. However the path is perfectly flat and firm the whole way. The course then leaves the Royal Canal at the Ardmore Road/Millmount area of the town and finishes in the Mullingar Town Park on Austin Friar's Street beside the Annebrook Hotel. The park provides a very nice setting for the finish of the race and runners and their families can mix and congregate around the finish area and the hotel.

The top-seeded Army West Point Women’s Basketball team won its third Patriot League title with a 69-51 victory over No. 3 Loyola on Saturday evening at Christl Arena. Army secures the Patriot League’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and will make its third appearance in the dance, following trips in 2006 and 2014.
Army extends its winning streak to 19 games and improves to 29-2. The Black Knights’ 29 win tie the 2009-10 Lehigh squad for the most total wins in Patriot League history. Loyola finishes the year 16-16 after the setback.
Senior Kelsey Minato earned Patriot League Tournament MVP honors for the second time in her career after scoring 25 points and shooting 4-of-8 from beyond the arc. Classmate Aimee Oertner and sophomore Janae McNeal joined Minato on the league’s all-tournament team, as Oertner posted a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double, to go along with four blocks, and McNeal totaled 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting.
Sophomore Destinee Morris netted eight points off the bench, while classmate Aliyah Murray and freshman Madison Hovren each contributed four points.
Diana Logan led Loyola with 15 points, while Colleen Marshall and Bri Betz-White also scored in double figures, with 12 points and 11 points, respectively.
Minato knocked in a three-pointer 2:28 into the contest to give Army a 5-2 advantage before sinking all three free-throws after being fouled on a long-range attempt with 5:03 to play in the first quarter. Her three foul shots made the score 10-4.
Oertner registered three blocks in the first 2:19 of the evening to limit Loyola’s offense early, as the Greyhounds were held to nine points in the opening frame.
McNeal converted lay-ups on consecutive possessions to cap a 9-0 Army run and extend the margin to 10 points, 14-4, with 3:41 remaining in the first period. The Black Knights went on to outscore the Greyhounds, 13-5, over the final 6:48 of the opening frame, as the hosts led, 20-9, at the end of one.
Logan scored the first seven points of the second quarter to begin a 9-0 run that brought Loyola back to within two, 20-18, with 6:45 left until halftime. Logan buried her second triple of the half to extend the scoring run to 12-0 and give the Greyhounds their first lead of the game, 21-20, with 6:12 remaining in the second period.
Army answered back with 10 straight points of its own, including three-pointers from Minato and Morris, to build the advantage to nine points, 30-21, by the 2:39 mark. Morris drained her second three-pointer of the quarter with 19 seconds remaining in the half to make the score 33-23 heading into the break.
The Black Knights maintained a 10-point advantage until building the lead to 14 after a pair of free-throws from Minato and a bucket from Oertner that came with 4:04 on the clock in the third quarter.
McNeal added lay-ins 22 seconds apart to build the hosts’ lead to 17, 47-30, before seven unanswered points from Loyola brought the Greyhounds back to within 10, 47-37, entering the fourth period.
Oertner netted four quick points to begin the fourth quarter and Minato hit a triple at the 7:59 mark to bring the score to 54-41. Loyola didn’t come any closer than 11 for the last 7:59 of the contest.
“This team has never ceased to amaze me this year,” said head coach Dave Magarity. “It’s mind blowing that we are 29-2 and the way we got here, the teams we beat and we thought we put together a pretty tough schedule with Albany, the conference champion in the America East, Quinnipiac won the MAAC regular season and they were huge wins for us and put us in position to get the one-seed as things worked out for us with the tiebreaker over a great Bucknell team.
“This group of young ladies has just accomplished so much with 99 wins over four years at this level is incredible and they just continue to do what it takes. You don’t want it to turn into a cliché with being a team of destiny, but we put together the right pieces. Janae McNeal and the junior class with Aliyah Murray and the Morris twins, as well, and I consider my coaching staff the best in America. It’s the best coaching staff I’ve ever had and I’ve had some pretty good coaches."

Description:
The purpose of this project is to replace the Arkansas River Broadway bridge with approaches and ramps.
The men of 3rd Platoon, Bravo Company, Task Force 2-28, commanded by Capt. Craig A. Halstead, received a mission to secure a village from a suspected insurgent safe house. Following exhaustive troop leading procedures the men conducted operations just as they will in Afghanistan; on foot.
“If we’re going anywhere in Afghanistan, it’s by walking,” remarked Lt. Col. John V. Meyer III, commander, Task Force 2-28.
The men departed the safety of their combat outpost and established an objective rally point, from which they quickly appropriated a leader’s reconnaissance. The recon afforded the platoon leadership a first-hand view of the terrain, thereby allowing for an apprized decision regarding the positioning of forces for movement onto the objective.
Lieutenant Michael V. Stinson, 3rd platoon leader, worked seamlessly; at one moment sagaciously positioning his support-by-fire position to maintain security, at another maneuvering the remainder of his platoon into a deportment from which to violently assault through the objective, then finally flanking the enemy with his assault element.
While the men moved over 1 kilometer, they did so without noise. Then, red smoke punched through the air, signaling the initiation of outpouring fire. The support by fire position suppressed for two minutes from high ground while the assault position moved forward.
Brute force suddenly decapitated the enemy. Yellow smoke triggered the support by fire team to shift fire while the assault team moved through the objective, killing all insurgents in the safe house.
“We then pulled security on the objective,” explained Spec. Olanrewaju Alara, 1st Squad, Alpha Team Leader. “On the objective we realized we had a casualty, so we pulled security so that our aid and litter team could move him to the MEDEVAC site.”
Afterwards, Meyer and a spirited Command Sgt. Major Patrick Akuna congratulated their Soldiers. Their men had maneuvered quickly and violently, crashing through the objective with staggering force.
“When you get into Afghanistan it’s just going to be you guys,” said Meyer. “You did a great job today.”
Alara agreed. “Every day we get better,” he said. “We are ready for Afghanistan.”
Meyer later presented Specialist James E. Staples with a battalion coin for excellence during the operation.
Meyer knows what is at stake and is determined to prepare his Soldiers for combat.
“We are going to train hard so we can fight and win in Afghanistan.”

I made this for an open art project at the church I attend here in Knoxville but I may make another one instead.
Someone called security on me tonight for lighting fireworks... I saw him coming so I threw away my spent roman candle before I got close to him. He asked if I had been shooting firecrackers and I said no since it was a roman candle not a firecracker. Is that lying? Not technically, I guess... Anyways, I told him I didn't see anyone else but the runners I had surprised by flinging molten steel into the air and then he left.
I'm so glad that I finally got out to light paint again. This semester has been pretty busy so I haven't got to paint nearly as much as I wanted to. Hopefully I can go out more often. I said that I'd go out tonight even if was a downpour. Luckily, I finished my shot before it started to snow really hard.
