Washington DC, March 26, 2017. Over a thousand Palestinian rights activists and supporters rallied in front of the White House and marched to the Washington Convention Center to protest the American Israel Public Affairs Committee yearly meeting. Around a dozen activists affiliated with the Jewish youth peace group If Not Now were removed (but not arrested!) by police for blocking one of the many entrances to the AIPAC event. A handful of counter protesters affiliated with AIPAC and the Jewish Defense League were very well protected by DC Police as they taunted the much larger contingent of peace marchers. The event was largely peaceful but some isolated scuffles broke out late in the day.

This is a photograph from the 41st Rennicks Cup and 38th Father Delany Cup 5 Mile Road Race and 5KM Fun Run organised by Bohermeen AC and held at Bohermeen AC, Ardbracan, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 8th of September 2013 at 12:00. This is great local club support as the race forms part of the Meath Road Race League.
Electronic timing and event management was provided by Precision Timing [www.precisiontiming.net].
The wonderful atmosphere, the great racing and participation, the work by the club, Meath Athletics, and the local community are a great tribute to the resilience and long tradition of this race. Congratulations to everyone involved. Everything that is good about grassroots athletics and running in Ireland is always on show in Bohermeen.
Bohermeen AC can rightly claim to be one of the most active accredited race organisers in Ireland. In the Spring they host their Spring Half Marathon (see www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157632906920970/), in the summer they host their Patrick Bell 5KM Road Race (see here www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157634010225199/), with proceedings finishing in the early Autumn with the Rennicks Cup. Astonishingly over their 3 race series this year Bohermeen AC have had a total of almost 1,500 participants. These numbers speak for themselves with the proceeds of these races going directly back into the athletics club and grass-roots athletics in the county.
This is photograph is part of a largest set of photographs from the start and the end of the race which are organised into the following Flickr set [http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157635427779978/].

Overall Race Summary
Participants: Approximately 150 people took part in the 5 mile event. The 5KM had many families involved.
Weather: The weather was slightly mixed. There was a cool breeze seemingly on the face of runners for many parts of the left handed course. There was a very light sure during the early part of the race whilst later in the race there were some heavier showers.
Course: The race starts just west of the Bohermeen Athletics Track and Club House (about 500 meters from the finish line) and proceeds down the straight road (Newline) passing the club house. The race takes runners over the M3 motorway and the a very sharp left turn uphill at Arbraccan brings the runners heading northwards to another left turn and back up a rise over the M3 motorway again. For the remainder of the race the route is flat with no hills or drags. The section between miles 3 and 4 are sheltered by high hedgerows and passes Durhamstown Castle one of the oldest lived in houses in Ireland. The final mile brings runners into Bohermeen village with the school and church to their left. The race then takes its final left turn back onto the straight newline road where runners pass the start of the race and the final 400 meters which brings runners onto the gravel track and across the finish line.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

These are the 8 gauge copper wires installed. These will support the reels and keep them off the bottom of the tank. The ends are filed flush with the outside of the tube. This is one of the photos from some film washing tanks. I finished the first one then began thinking about it and decided to try a second design. This one is with galvanize pipe instead of copper so that is cheaper, they are still over $25 to build though.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Dozens of Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined members of veteran services organizations to honor the families of fallen heroes during the 6th Annual Operation: Love Letters event conducted March 24, 2018, at St. John Vianney Catholic School in Orlando.
Hosted by the Orlando Survivor Outreach Services, a U.S. Army community support program dedicated to helping families cope with grief from losing loved ones who have served their country. Operation: Love Letters provides a forum of fellowship for family members to share their memories of the deceased through food, games, music, arts and crafts. Conceived in Orlando in 2013, this local activity has transformed into a U.S. Army sponsored flagship program for the entire nation with international reach.
The event commenced with full military honors as the 143d ESC’s color guard and the Patriot Riders Guard led the opening ceremony in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star-Spangled Banner. The color guard then set up a Fallen Comrade table and conducted a “13 Folds” ceremony to honor all American service members who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Miles Espaillat, the youngest of three sons of Maj. Gen. Francisco Espaillat, lit the candle on the Fallen Comrade Table. Espaillat’s father served as the commanding general of the 143d ESC from 2014-2016. He died of a heart attack April 7, 2017, while serving as general officer for the Office of the Chief of the Army Reserve.
After the opening ceremony, the family members shared their most cherished memories of their son, daughter, parent or spouse. Some brought framed photos while others baked their loved ones’ favorite dessert. The 143d ESC Soldiers joined several family members in creating crafts and writing love letters.
Representatives from the USO, Veterans Affairs, Operation Military Matters and the Orlando Vet Center also attended the festivities to share the many free resources such as grief counseling, care packages, and financial assistance tailored to families coping with the loss of a loved one.
Operation: Love Letters concluded with its most cherished tradition as Soldiers, families and volunteers gathered at the school’s courtyard to release dozens of balloons with messages addressed to their fallen heroes.

Freedom Golf Association leads the way in bringing adaptive golf to Illinois and is an integral part of the growing national movement, which has been embraced by major golf entities such as the PGA, LPGA and USGA.
“Freedom Golf Association encourages corporations with cause marketing programs that help the disabled to become FGA sponsors or corporate foundation grant providers and help us grow,” said Ruecking.
About Freedom Golf Association
Freedom Golf Association (FGA), a 501(C)3 non-profit charitable organization, is the leading adaptive golf organization in Illinois and is a charter member of the United States Adaptive Golf Alliance. FGA was founded in July 2012 by Edmund (E.Q.) Sylvester. E.Q. is a director of the Western Golf Association (WGA), member of the United States Senior Golf Association (USSGA), member of the United States Golf Association (USGA) and a triple amputee. FGA is dedicated to bringing joy and a sense of freedom to the special needs community through their inclusion in the game of golf.
FGA believes that all special needs individuals deserve a chance to accomplish the same things as any others do and work towards bringing a positive transformation to their lives. FGA contributes to the positive development of those with special needs through the magic of golf.
FGA works to assist individuals with disabilities in many ways:
•Provides professionally run adaptive golf instructional clinics and golf events
•Engages children, adults and veterans with special needs in FREE adaptive golf instruction with other classmates
•Conducts adaptive golf training workshops to increase the number of qualified adaptive golf coaches to instruct individuals with special needs
•Provides leadership and collaboration with nationally recognized organizations on how to expand/grow adaptive golf programs
Based on its growing understanding of the needs of disabled golfers, the FGA has developed a ground-breaking Adaptive Golf Enhancement Program™ that increases the golfing ability of special needs golfers. FGA’s golf coaches learn this six-step process, which helps them better understand and enhance the capabilities of special needs golfers.
To assist coaches and special needs golfers in determining what adaptive measures would be most beneficial, FGA recently invested in what they call a “personal swing sensors and computerized program” to 1) measure the disabled golfer’s initial swing path and limitations; 2) develop an appropriate exercise program to improve flexibility and range of motion; and 3) to chart the golfer’s progress, using the initial swing measurements as a baseline.
In 2016, FGA provided more than 1,300 adaptive golf lessons. In the same year, 110 special needs golfers went out and played on the course. Ten individuals became trained FGA Adaptive Golf Coaches, growing the total number to 42.
79 cents out of every dollar received goes to FGA’s special needs golf programs and events. FGA has led 40 Chicagoland courses in becoming accessible to the disabled community.

Remains of electrification supports, north of Penistone station.
INFO:The Woodhead line was the Great Central railway route from Sheffield Victoria to Manchester Piccadilly.
It has - well had - a claim to fame as the first electrified main line railway in the UK, when it went live in 1953. Unfortunately, due to the evils of Beeching, the passenger services ceased to be on January 5th, 1970...along with Victoria itself.
Several small intermediate stations had already shut during the years up to its demise, with Neepsend, Wadsley Bridge, Oughtibridge, Deepcar and Wortley all having sold their last tickets by 1968. Wadsley remained partly open for football services until the late 80s, with loco hauled services which required retaining the loop at the western end of the station to change ends.
The line continued as a major goods corridor for several years, although the wires went in 1981. Passenger DMUs from Sheffield to Huddersfield used the route until 1983, reversing and travelling through Victoria, before being route through Barnsley instead. The track was lifted from north of Deepcar up to Hadfield between 1985-86. The surviving single track branches off left towards Stocksbridge steel works, alongside where a new shopping village is shortly to appear.
The trackbed continues as The Transpennine Trail from this point. The ten-and-a-half mile section passes west through Wortley, Thurgoland, Oxspring and Penistone where it junctions with the still current Sheffield/Barnsley-Huddersfield line. An also electrified branch from Wath near Rotherham brought coal trains up and across the Pennines - this diverged near Stairfoot and junctioned with the Barnsley-Huddersfield route near Oxspring. The line was lifted in 1981 - the trackbed is now better known as the Dove Valley trail.
Beyond Penistone the former GC line leaves to head on through Millhouse Green, Hazelhead and eventually Dunford Bridge where the closed Woodhead Tunnel cuts the path short.
The climb up from Penistone was as steep as 1 in 100 and trains that travelled from the Wath line were push-pulled by up to two electric locomotives at each end.
Cyclists and walkers with the strength to continue can climb the near vertical Windle Edge left out of Dunford and then trek over the Pennines to Woodhead Station where the track remerged into daylight. This six mile section onward to Hadfield continues as the Longendale Trail.

Resembling an old-fashioned aerodrome, West Ham Garage consists of four long round-roofed blocks, two open-facing and two sealed.
The building was designed to replace Stratford and Waterden Road Garages (demolished as part of the Olympic Park developments). The garage was a brownfield site, previously occupied by a Parcelforce Depot.
Demolition at the ParcelForce site began late in 2007 and by February 2008 the operation of the Stratford garage had moved to part of the new site. Operations from the other garage, known as Waterden Road, relocated initially to newly acquired and refurbished premises at Rainham, moving to the temporary West Ham site in May 2008.
Construction of the new garage took place immediately to the south of the temporary premises and the main garage structure was basically complete by the end of March 2009, at which time ParcelForce vacated their site further to the south of the garage that would become the bus parking area. By December 2009 the garage’s engineering and operating staff had moved in to the new building, joined by head office staff from Ilford in February 2010. Work on the parking, washing and fuelling area was completed in June 2010 when the contractors handed over the site.
[Stagecoach Bus]
The building was Pringle Richards Sharratt Architects.
Environmental aspects of the design include green roofs (50% of which is covered in lichen) which also captures rainwater for re-use, natural lighting and ventilation in the offices, and a turbine generating power.
