We have created a support spinning bowl that has combined the efficiency of a ceramic surface with the stability of a wide beautiful wooden base. Our ceramic bowl measures 1 3/4 inches in diameter, and the gorgeous koa wood base is 2 3/4 inches in diameter. Cork has been added to the bottom of this bowl to keep the wood from scratching other hard surfaces.
We are making the ceramic inserts for our support spinning bowls in a variety of glazes, and no two pieces ever come out of the kiln the same. The glaze on this insert is called "Blue Grotto".
The LEGO Foundation and UNICEF support conflict-affected children in Iraq through play
Baghdad, 16 December 2015 – UNICEF Iraq received a contribution from the LEGO Foundation that will help give around 50,000 children in Iraq a chance to play and learn. The organizations welcomed the contribution of 4,800 boxes containing LEGO play materials. The donation is part of the three-year global partnership between UNICEF and the LEGO Foundation signed in early 2015. Through the partnership, the two organizations promote quality early learning through play for children around the world. While play helps children address stress, it also performs a critical role in the development of the intellectual, emotional, social and creative skills needed to build the foundation for human development and lifelong learning.
Iraq has seen decades of conflict. Currently, nearly 3 million children have had their education disrupted, and nearly 1 million are internally displaced. Furthermore, over 100,000 Syrian children have taken refuge in Iraq.
Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq (SRSG), Mr. Ján Kubiš, reaffirmed the United Nations’ commitment to children. “Many Iraqi children bear emotional scars from the violence around them, but it is those rendered homeless by conflict who suffer the heaviest consequences. Millions of children, in camps for displaced people and refugees as well as those in host communities have limited or no access to education or recreational activities. It is with their predicament in mind that UNAMI and UNICEF called on LEGO for assistance to extend children affected by the crisis in Iraq with a combination of study and play in the form of creative toys, which might be the first for many of them since they lost their homes and possessions. The donation from LEGO Foundation should be a reminder to Iraqi politicians of the responsibility they share for the future generations, who deserve to live a life of peace and normalcy.”
Generations of children in Iraq have grown up in the midst of conflict, and have witnessed unimaginable acts of extreme violence and have been displaced from their homes and communities. Some children have been displaced multiple times as conflict reaches their new homes. “The opportunity given by the LEGO Foundation should also be used to call for more support to humanitarian programmes, particularly child protection,” Kubiš added.
Representing UNAMI at the delivery ceremony in Baghdad, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq, Gyorgy Busztin appealed to the Iraqi politicians to think about the children of Iraq as they “are the hardest hit by violence and lack of stability. Their fate needs to be the responsibility of all decision makers. We want for them a happy future, away from violence, conflict and displacement in a country that provides equal rights to all its men, women and children. We want national reconciliation for Iraq that will give back to the children of Iraq what they were deprived of, play, learning and happiness, in other words a full childhood. The LEGO toys will teach them to build so that in the future they will be able to reconstruct their villages and towns ruined by terrorism. They will prove that building is superior to destruction” added DSRSG Busztin.
“The negative impact of this crisis on children cannot be over-emphasized,” said Peter Hawkins, UNICEF Representative in Iraq. “Continuing violence has cheated millions of children of their fundamental rights to safety, education and play. Many children have come into this world and grown up knowing only displacement and conflict. The donation from the LEGO Foundation is one positive step forward, allowing some of the most disadvantaged children to play and learn in a fun and safe environment and become the next generation to build a better future for Iraq.”
“Play is the most effective and inspiring way for children to acquire the skills needed to create new possibilities and meet the many challenges of the future. In the midst of violence and instability, playing and education can help to alleviate trauma for conflict-affected children,” said Mirjam Schöning, Global Head of Programmes and Partnerships at the LEGO Foundation. “Through play, children can address stress and develop physical, intellectual and social skills, as well as creativity. Together with UNICEF, we work to put a stake in the ground for children and their development through quality play-based learning.”
The LEGO play materials will be distributed to 538 schools, 46 community centres and 8 child-friendly spaces across Iraq, giving over 50,000 children access to learning activities. The LEGO Foundation and UNICEF will provide training to build the capacity of teachers, facilitators and community members who will then guide children through LEGO activities as part of the initiative.

1st MSC Public Affairs Officer
Fort Buchanan, PR- It was 5:00 a.m. and the soldiers assigned to the Headquarters-headquarters Company (HHD), 1st Mission Support Command (1st MSC), were already getting prepared to conduct the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) at Fort Buchanan, 22 Oct.
Since 1980, the U.S. Army has assessed physical aptitude through the APFT, commonly known as the “PT Test”. The APFT is a three-event physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardio respiratory fitness.
“Passing the PT Test is very important because it is part of the standards expected from a soldier”, said 1st Sgt. Ariel Feliciano from the HHD, 1st MSC Company.
There are over 90 soldiers assigned to the HHD. About 25 percent of those soldiers took the APFT two days in advance because they were part of the support team for this APFT event.
“We always have high passing rates in HHD for the APFT,” said Maj. Rafael Cruz, Commander of the HHD Company.
“We also always have had a great participation on APFT day. The Commanding General always establishes the example which is very visible”, added Cruz.
Brig. Gen. Fernando Fernández, 1st MSC Commanding General, always takes the APFT with the troops, which motivates high participation, according to Cruz.
The event’s Noncommissioned Officer in Charge (NCOIC) was Sgt. 1st Class Juan E. Gonzalez, who works in the G3, Operations section.
“I have a good support team to conduct this event. I hope everyone passes the PT test,” said Gonzalez, minutes before the first formation.
The troops formed up at 5:15 a.m. and Sgt. 1st Class Edgar Paez, from the 1st MSC logistics section, was in charge of conducting the warming up. Paez used the preparatory drills of the new Army Physical Readiness Test (APRT), which is expected to become effective in the near future, to conduct the warming up. The APFT was conducted following the current standards.
“Today we only used five preparatory drills as warm up exercises, with the intent of start getting our soldiers familiar with the new APRT,” said Paez.
Paez was very pleased with the soldier’s reaction to the new warming up exercises. “The soldier’s reaction was very good. They were very attentive and motivated, while conducting the preparatory drills. I think that the 1st MSC soldiers should not have any problems adjusting to the new PT test standards, when they become effective,” added Paez.
Lt. Col. Samuel E. Licorish, G3 Officer in Charge, and Sgt. 1st Class Saby Calo, HHD’s Personnel Administration Specialist, were expected to perform very well during this APFT, according to 1st Sgt. Feliciano.
“I am always nervous on PT test day. My goal is at least a 290,” said Calo, while waiting in line to do her pushups.
“It is humid today. I am also always nervous on APFT day. Even if you train, you get nervous out here, because you want to do your best. My goal is a 296 or better,” said Licorish.
As expected, the first individual crossing the finish line of the two-mile run was Licorish.
“I think my time was 13 minutes and 35 seconds, unofficial. It is hard to go out in a fast pace and keep it there. Next time you see me I will be doing twelve’s,” said Licorish shortly after crossing the finish line.
The first female finishing the two-mile run was, also as expected, Calo.
“I feel well. I wanted 14 minutes, but 15:22 is good also. My maximum time is 17 minutes,” said Calo.
The 95% of all tested soldiers passed the APFT.
On May 9, 2018, the 644th Regional Support Group (RSG) from Fort Snelling, Minn., furled its unit colors to signify the end of its mission within the Mobilization and Deployment (MaD) Division at Fort Bliss, Texas. During the transfer of authority ceremony, the 210th Regional Support Group (RSG) from Puerto Rico resumed the mission throughout the upcoming year.
The ceremony began with 644th RSG and 210th RSG Soldiers forming in the front of the room. Chaplain (Capt.) Bradley Wysomierski, 644th RSG Chaplain, opened the ceremony with an Invocation, which was followed by Sgt. First Class Joanne Makay singing the National Anthem.
At that time, Col. Dominic Wibe, 644th RSG commander, and Sgt. Maj. William Dullea, 644th RSG acting Command Sgt. Maj., cased the 644th RSG unit flag. Immediately after, Col. Javier Rivera, 210th RSG commander, and Command Sgt. Maj. Mario Canizales, 210th Command Sgt. Maj., uncased the 210th RSG unit flag.
Col. Steven Murphy, Fort Bliss Garrison Command, was the first to share remarks with the group. To the Soldiers of the 644th RSG, Murphy expressed gratitude to each and everyone, including family members, for dedicating the time to be at Fort Bliss throughout the last year. “Thank you for the job you did in the last year. You set the standard as the RSG for the mobilization mission,” he said. “The role you played was critical and the way you did it was phenomenal.”
Col. Murphy referenced the number of Soldiers the 644th RSG processed through MaD in the last year, being more than 60,000. Regarding the 644th RSG’s leadership throughout and the role in Fort Bliss’ expansion as the Mobilization Support Force, he said, “I saw the breadth and depth of what you did was fantastic.”
Col. Murphy equally welcomed the 210th RSG for the upcoming year and stated confidence in their success as well. “Thank you for being a part of the mobilization and demobilization mission. I am honored to be a part of your team.”
Col. Wibe then provided remarks, explaining the 644th RSG’s mission throughout the past year was nothing short of “enterprise accomplishments” and that each and every Soldier has a significant role in the success of the mission, each and every one is important. “You took ownership of every task, to the lowest level. You did your piece and you did it well,” he said. “The 210th RSG will take this mission and move it forward.”
Final remarks from Col. Rivera, “The 644th RSG has set the standard.” He explained the 210th RSG is ready to take on the mission at MaD.
Chaplain (Maj.) Luis Cardoza, 210th RSG Chaplain, provided the Benediction and the ceremony was then complete with the singing of the Army song.
About the 644th Regional Support Group and the Mobilization and Deployment Division mission:
During the 12-month mobilization, the 644th RSG conducted mobilization management operations in support of military operations around the world. The 84 Army Reserve Soldiers within the 644th RSG consist primarily of members from Minnesota and throughout the Midwest and will return home after showcasing their talents and skills to the U.S. Army and the federal government. The Soldiers departed in May 2017 and are anticipating on returning home to their families, friends and communities the later part of May 2018.
The 644th RSG managed the entire Fort Bliss Mobilization and Deployment (MaD) Division supported by 22 Department of the Army Civilians and 450 Department of Defense contractors. The 644th RSG has provided 24/7 administrative and logistical support for more than 65,000 members of the Active, National Guard, and Reserve components of the Army, Air Force and Navy, federal agencies, coalition partners, and contractors, who have mobilized and demobilized through Fort Bliss to multiple locations around the world.
The 644th RSG facilitated countless overseas flights and created orders for all personnel while coordinating deployment training support and redeployment support for Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen deploying and returning from around the world. The 644th RSG Soldiers provided engineer support and information technology support in order to sustain and improve base facilities for support to contingency operations with a capacity of more than 9,000 troops at a time. They issued more than $2 million in food, fuel, and supplies, and maintain oversight of all integrated logistics policies, procurement functions, programs, and plans that enabled information operations support throughout the Army and other military forces while ensuring all sensitive item accountability. The 644th RSG operated the Soldier Readiness and Resiliency Center (SRRC), ensuring that all personnel who processed through the SRRC were 100 percent medically and administratively qualified to perform their unique missions in both the United States and overseas and are properly cared for upon their return from overseas.
The 644th RSG has been highly effective in ensuring all mobilizing and demobilizing units and individuals are ready to deploy throughout the world in support of National Defense. The 644th RSG has become a leading unit in the Army Reserve to provide necessary support to all units reporting through Fort Bliss, Texas, for contingency operations.
The 644th RSG is commanded by Col. Dominic J. Wibe. When not mobilized the 644th RSG consists of nine subordinate units, 1,150 Soldiers, that provide fuel, water, food, lodging, transportation, maintenance, and other logistical support as directed. The 644th RSG is charged with conducting base operations, base defense, and civil support missions both within and outside the United States.

Metropolitan Wharf
Warehouse Conversion
Metropolitan Wharf is a significant 6-storey, Grade II Listed, purpose built Victorian riverside warehouse. Built between 1862 and 1898 it sits as one of London’s most impressive collection of wharf buildings located within a context dominated by residential use at ground and upper levels.
In contrast to this context the brief to Hawkins\Brown Architects for the project was to produce modern, yet cost effective studio workspace aimed at start-up businesses and the creative industries. Crowning the building are eight 2,400-3,800 sqft penthouses designed in collaboration with Tom Dixon’s design company, Design Research Studio, with studio offices over the five upper floors to provide accommodation to suit a wide range of businesses.
The overarching concept that the architects developed for the building was to create ‘a village within the contours of the wharf’, providing a wealth of curated facilities to support new businesses and residents alike. It was envisioned that the ground floor would offer concierge lobby facilities, a destination restaurant, local grocers/deli, a newsagent, gallery space and a cafe, to be accessed from Met Walk, a cut that has been made through the building connecting the street to the river.
The Bell Phillips Architects Offices
The fit-out of our new offices in Wapping was carefully undertaken to minimise the impact on the Grade II listed warehouse building.
Free-standing partitions, shelving, kitchen and storage units constructed from naturally-finished plywood give a visual coherence and warmth to the open plan office space that contrasts with the white painted brick, timber and cast iron of the warehouse structure. The plywood is complemented by other natural materials; galvanised cable trays and cork pin-up boards.
The layout of the office emphasises the open, collaborative nature of the practice whilst providing different environments to work in.

The Tobacco Institute of Southern Africa (TISA) has published a leaflet (as part
of a larger mixed media campaign) to inform the South African public about
counterfeit cigarettes - and in the process they have inadvertently provided
counterfeiters with a check list of what to include in their production
techniques to prevent detection.
Just as in other countries, the increasing problem of counterfeit cigarettes
in South Africa is due to the steadily rising amounts of government levied
taxes on tobacco products.
Whilst almost every single form of cigarette advertising is banned in South
Africa, TISA wants you to buy genuine cigarettes so that the government can
build more clinics... (To treat more smoking related diseases?)
Support: Gus G. Very classic 80s style metal guitar which was rather good. The singer was excellent and the song where the singer played an acoustic guitar was really a cut above the rest. Incredible guitar solos but I found the vocals kept them in check so they didn't get too repetitive. One interesting point was that the bass player and drummer were the same for Gus G and Marty Friedman. I'm not sure who borrowed from whom but it's a nice idea of how to get more music with fewer people on the road.
The Co. Longford Sports and Leisure Center 10KM Road Race was held at The Mall Sportscomplex on Templemichael Road, Longford Town, Ireland on Monday, March 18th 2013 at 12:00. This race was supported and promoted by Pixels Promotions (see links below). The race was two loops of a 5KM course which took in Longford town and the Longford by-pass. The race started on the Longford by-pass road and then finished in the Longford Sports and Leisure Center car-park. This was a very well organised race with support from the local clubs and the Gardai. There were about 160 competitors all of whom enjoyed some wonderful spring sunshine for the race. Refreshments were served afterwards.

I ran the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set!
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 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 below.
If you want to contribute something for these images?
We do not charge for these images. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that they are good enough that you would ordinarily pay for their purchase we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
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.
