One day I just woke up and was tired up being unhealthy and overweight. I started off slowly going to the track and doing a little bit of Zumba! and then I met up with WayOutTexas! We instantly shared the same passion and commitment to becoming healthier happier individuals and we work out almost everyday at our local gym. I want to thank her for inspiring me to live out my dreams of becoming a healthier parent, wife, and best of all friend!

ANSH #25 "Success" from list 28 item #22
I know! Yet another photo of my dog, Zac, but as well as being a not bad snap of my good chum, this one represents success after I carefully, with some trepidation, updated the firmware on my D800 so as to use a facility called "Trap Focus", of which I'd never previously heard! It involves pre-setting the focus distance, holding down the shutter release button, and leaving it to the camera to take the photo when something runs into the focus area. It sounds dodgy but amazingly it works! The focus on his eyes is the best I've achieved to date. Thank you Nikon D800 and David Busch's book!
Now to try it with a non-nikkor lens (should be OK) and to snap some of the mountain bikers behind my house!

Spare driver came while I was at school and collected it YAY! I think it may have been truck #10 (MkIII/MkIV) that came to collect it due to the dusty grabber markings in the side and they wrap around the bin to much to be raptors and to thick to GenV's.

Belfast (/ˈbɛl.fɑːst/ or /ˈbɛl.fæst/; from Irish: Béal Feirste, meaning "mouth of the sandbanks") is the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland, on the River Lagan. At the 2011 census, it had a population of 286,000. Belfast was granted city status in 1888.
Belfast was a centre of the Irish linen, tobacco processing, rope-making and shipbuilding industries: in the early 20th century, Harland and Wolff, which built the RMS Titanic, was the biggest and most productive shipyard in the world. Belfast played a key role in the Industrial Revolution, and was a global industrial centre until the latter half of the 20th century. Industrialisation and the inward migration it brought made Belfast the biggest city in Ireland at the beginning of the 20th century, and industrial and economic success was cited by unionist opponents of Home Rule as a reason why Ulster should fight to resist it.
Today, Belfast remains a centre for industry, as well as the arts, higher education, business, and law, and is the economic engine of Northern Ireland. The city suffered greatly during the period of conflict called "the Troubles", but latterly has undergone a sustained period of calm, free from the intense political violence of former years, and substantial economic and commercial growth. Additionally, Belfast city centre has undergone considerable expansion and regeneration in recent years, notably around Victoria Square.
Belfast is served by two airports: George Best Belfast City Airport in the city, and Belfast International Airport 15 miles (24 km) west of the city. Belfast is a major port, with commercial and industrial docks dominating the Belfast Lough shoreline, including the Harland and Wolff shipyard, and is listed by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) as a global city.
Name
The name Belfast is derived from the Irish Béal Feirsde, which was later spelled Béal Feirste. The word béal means "mouth" or "rivermouth" while feirsde/feirste is the genitive singular of fearsaid and refers to a sandbar or tidal fordacross a river's mouth. The name would thus translate literally as "(river) mouth of the sandbar" or "(river) mouth of the ford". This sandbar was formed at the confluence of two rivers at what is now Donegall Quay: the Lagan, which flows into Belfast Lough, and its tributary the Farset. This area was the hub around which the original settlement developed. The Irish name Béal Feirste is shared by a townland in County Mayo, whose name has been anglicised as Belfarsad.
An alternative interpretation of the name is "mouth of [the river] of the sandbar", an allusion to the River Farset, which flows into the Lagan where the sandbar was located. This interpretation was favoured by Edmund Hoganand John O'Donovan. It seems clear, however, that the river itself was named after the tidal crossing.
In Ulster Scots the name of the city is Bilfawst or Bilfaust, although "Belfast" is also used.
History
The site of Belfast has been occupied since the Bronze Age. The Giant's Ring, a 5,000-year-old henge, is located near the city, and the remains of Iron Age hill forts can still be seen in the surrounding hills. Belfast remained a small settlement of little importance during the Middle Ages. John de Courcy built a castle on what is now Castle Street in the city centre in the 12th century, but this was on a lesser scale and not as strategically important as Carrickfergus Castle to the north, which was built by de Courcy in 1177. The O'Neill clan had a presence in the area.
In the 14th century, Cloinne Aodha Buidhe, descendants of Aodh Buidhe O'Neill built Grey Castle at Castlereagh, now in the east of the city. Conn O'Neill of the Clannaboy O'Neills owned vast lands in the area and was the last inhabitant of Grey Castle, one remaining link being the Conn's Water river flowing through east Belfast.
Belfast became a substantial settlement in the 17th century after being established as a town by Sir Arthur Chichester, which was initially settled by Protestant English and Scottish migrants at the time of the Plantation of Ulster. (Belfast and County Antrim, however, did not form part of this particular Plantation scheme as they were privately colonised.) In 1791, the Society of United Irishmen was founded in Belfast, after Henry Joy McCracken and other prominent Presbyterians from the city invited Theobald Wolfe Tone and Thomas Russell to a meeting, after having read Tone's "Argument on Behalf of the Catholics of Ireland". Evidence of this period of Belfast's growth can still be seen in the oldest areas of the city, known as the Entries.
Belfast blossomed as a commercial and industrial centre in the 18th and 19th centuries and became Ireland's pre-eminent industrial city. Industries thrived, including linen, rope-making, tobacco, heavy engineering and shipbuilding, and at the end of the 19th century, Belfast briefly overtook Dublin as the largest city in Ireland. The Harland and Wolff shipyards became one of the largest shipbuilders in the world, employing up to 35,000 workers. In 1886 the city suffered intense riots over the issue of home rule, which had divided the city.
In 1920–22, Belfast became the capital of the new entity of Northern Ireland as the island of Ireland was partitioned. The accompanying conflict (the Irish War of Independence) cost up to 500 lives in Belfast, the bloodiest sectarian strife in the city until the Troubles of the late 1960s onwards.
The Troubles
Belfast has been the capital of Northern Ireland since its establishment in 1921 following the Government of Ireland Act 1920. It had been the scene of various episodes of sectarian conflict between its Catholic and Protestant populations. These opposing groups in this conflict are now often termed republican and loyalist respectively, although they are also referred to as 'nationalist' and 'unionist'. The most recent example of this conflict was known as the Troubles – a civil conflict that raged from around 1969 to 1998.
Belfast saw some of the worst of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, particularly in the 1970s, with rival paramilitary groups formed on both sides. Bombing, assassination and street violence formed a backdrop to life throughout the Troubles. The Provisional IRA detonated 22 bombs within the confines of Belfast city centre in 1972, on what is known as "Bloody Friday", killing eleven people. Loyalist paramilitaries including the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) claimed that the killings they carried out were in retaliation for the IRA campaign. Most of their victims were Catholics with no links to the Provisional IRA. A particularly notorious group, based on the Shankill Road in the mid-1970s, became known as the Shankill Butchers.
In all, over 1,600 people were killed in political violence in the city between 1969 and 2001. Sporadic violent events continue as of 2015, although not supported by the previous antagonists who had reached political agreement in 1998.
Ferguslie Parks, Pals of the Privies Foam Party in Glen Coats park was great success for all involved on Sunday July 18th 2021. With giant inflatable’s, a huge wet soapy slide, Clyde ones George Bowie dj ing the event and the star of the show, the foam machine its self. This was a cracking day for parents and kids alike and it was mobbed.
One person told me when he bragged to his work mates about all the events the Ferguslie community groups have staged over the years. Only for their jaws to drop when it was pointed out, it was all free.
All this due to the hard work of the many groups who caught the eyes of so many local business and whose donations made it possible for locals to come together and build community spirit to makes it a safer places to live for all.

success...after a lot of burnt rotis...or pitas...now I am free of old bread ...living all by yourself with hardly any eating outlets, makes one a survivor...fresh bread with no preservatives !!..using an empty wine bottle as a rolling pin !!!
The success of the venture meant that travelling patterns were different to what had been planned. Standard liveried Olympian 837 had also been drafted in to operate additional journeys on the X90.
The look of soaring success as depicted by "Spinnerin' Magazine", a magazine for needlework patterns and ideas.
All roads that lead to success have to pass through Hard Work boulevard at some point. #hardwork #success

SUCCESS. . . . VIEWING. . . . HERE. . . . WOW. . . . BIG. . . . UHM. . . . SASSI. . . . COME ON. . . . I LIKE. . . . THAT . . . . GIRL
Be careful chasing success, it's a steep mountain
Right up on top a beautiful looking fountain
You'll climb a few stairs and be lured by the fruit
But you'll lose your footing and with it, your worldly loot
Success is a false goddess, she will demand sacrifice
Do not begin to worship her, don't even think twice
For once you start the climb you'll loose sight of what's real
Your relationships, the people, for the community a fair deal
Do not measure you success in petty dollars and cents
Measure it by something that makes far more sense
Let your heart be strong and be careful where you tread
Don't be fooled into chasing success, you'll only lose your head.
