Whilst bad weather continues and rain miserably dampens spirits and impractical foot wear, a cheerful group of brollies adds colour to the otherwise grey mood.

...continued from the last set i uploaded. This was a fun day taking photos of Gig wearing her black ballet slippers outdoors. Hopefully this summer we can do it again.
Continuing the lab theme, I have a falcon tube (basically plastic screw top test-tubes) containing ethanol. Main uses of ethanol in a molecular biology lab are sterilizing equipment and precipitating DNA. We're also fond of drinking the stuff, although generally while not in the lab, and usually not neat.

American actor Zachary Scott (1914-1965) was known for his roles as sinister villains and well-dressed, suave 'mystery men'. Although his acclaimed performance in Mildred Pierce (1945) seemed to cement him as a star, it led to his typecasting and his subsequent films declined in prestige. He continued to work in films, including the Luis Buñuel classic La joven/The Young One (1960), but Scott never quite reclaimed the level of stardom that he'd achieved in the mid-1940s.
Zachary Thomson Scott Jr. was born in Austin, Texas, in 1914. He was the son of Sallie Lee (Masterson) and Zachary Thomson Scott, a wealthy surgeon. Scott intended to follow his father into medicine and attended the University of Texas at Austin. At 19, he dropped out and worked as a seaman on an England-bound freighter. There he appeared in almost two dozen provincial repertory theatre productions in the next 18 months, gaining confidence and skill. When he returned to Texas, he married actress Elaine Anderson and he began to act in local theatre productions. He and his wife were spotted in a play in Austin by Alfred Lunt and his wife Lynn Fontanne, who recommended them to the producers of New York's Theatre Guild. Zachary Scott made his debut with a small role as a bartender in a 1941 revival of 'Ah, Wilderness!'. He was also in 'The Damask Cheek' (1942), 'The Rock' (1943), and 'Those Endearing Young Charms' (1943). Jack L. Warner saw Scott perform in 'Those Endearing Young Charms' and signed him to his first film contract. Scott made his screen debut in the Film Noir The Mask of Dimitrios (Jean Negulesco, 1944) opposite Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. Scott played the title role, of Dimitrios Makropoulos, an international intriguer and master criminal, whose body was just washed up on a local beach. Craig Butler at AllMovie: "The Mask of Dimitrios is an intricate little conspiracy thriller-cum-film noir that provides a great deal of entertainment value for fans of intrigue and betrayal, all cast in shadowy light that obscures as much as it illuminates" Scott seemed destined for a top-level career in Hollywood. He was one of the many Warners stars who had small roles in Hollywood Canteen (Delmer Daves, 1944). Then he was loaned to United Artists to play the lead in the classic The Southerner (1945) directed by Jean Renoir. The film portrays the hardships of a poor family struggling to establish a cotton farm in Texas in the early 1940s. It received three Oscar nominations. Though he received great acclaim for his performance, Scott was not particularly well promoted by Warners. His profile was immediately reversed by his well-received performance as the cad in the dark melodrama Mildred Pierce (Michael Curtiz, 1945). Scott played the duplicitous lover of both Joan Crawford and her daughter. His mysterious murder forms the basis of the plot and frames the film's opening and closing. Variety noted that Scott "makes the most of his character" in "a talented performance." Scott co-starred with Faye Emerson, the daughter-in-law of President Franklin D. Roosevelt by her marriage to Elliott Roosevelt, in the Film Noir Danger Signal (Robert Florey, 1945). He then co-starred with Janis Paige and Dane Clark in another mediocre Film Noir Her Kind of Man (Frederick De Cordova, 1946).
In 1946, exhibitors voted Zachary Scott the third most promising "star of tomorrow". Although his performance in Mildred Pierce (1945) was acclaimed it also led to his typecasting as a portrayer of amoral characters. His subsequent films declined in prestige. Scott supported Ann Sheridan in the murder mystery The Unfaithful (Vincent Sherman, 1947) and Ronald Reagan and Alexis Smith in the Western Stallion Road (James V. Kern, 1947). MGM borrowed him to support Lana Turner and Spencer Tracy in the romantic drama Cass Timberlane (George Sidney, 1947). He had the lead in a Film Noir for Eagle Lion, Ruthless (Edgar G. Ulmer, 1948), and then returned to Warners for another Film Noir, Whiplash (Lewis Seiler, 1948). He supported Virginia Mayo in the Film Noir Flaxy Martin (Richard L. Bare, 1949) and Joel McCrea in the independent Western South of St. Louis (Ray Enright, 1949). He was reunited with Joan Crawford in the Film Noir Flamingo Road (Michael Curtiz, 1949). Crawford played an ex-carnival dancer who marries a local businessman to seek revenge on a corrupt political boss who had her railroaded into prison. It was one of the top-grossers of 1949. Warners tried Scott in a comedy, One Last Fling (Peter Godfrey, 1949), with Alexis Smith. He starred in some films outside the studio: the crime drama Guilty Bystander (Joseph Lerner, 1950) and the psychological thriller Shadow on the Wall (Andrew Jackson, 1950) with Ann Sothern. At Warners, he supported Randolph Scott in the Western Colt .45 (Edwin L. Marin, 1950) and Besy Drake and Dennis Morgan in the comedy Pretty Baby (Bretaigne Windust, 1950). He co-starred with Joan Fontaine in Nicholas Ray's Film Noir Born to Be Bad (1950). At AllMovie, Craig Butler writes: "Although it's hardly a great movie, Born to Be Bad is a lot of fun – if one is in the mood for a bitchy, campy, over-the-top melodrama."
In 1950, a divorce and a rafting accident, in which he was badly injured, sent Zachary Scott into a depression. After being dropped by Warners, he married actress Ruth Ford and began to concentrate more on stage and television work. Scott appeared in a variety of television series such as Armstrong Circle Theatre (1950) and Pulitzer Prize Playhouse (1951). In 1951 he was arrested at a bar in Louisiana for violating segregation laws. He was in a black establishment drinking alcohol with African-Americans. he protested in court that he was invited to the bar by black men in uniform and that he was proud to drink with US soldiers. Scott's first film after he left Warners was the Western Stronghold (Steve Sekely, 1951) with Veronica Lake. It was financed by Filmadora Studios, a Mexican company. He also did the crime melodrama Lightning Strikes Twice (King Vidor, 1951) starring Ruth Roman and Richard Todd, and the Western The Secret of Convict Lake (Michael Gordon, 1951) starring Glen Ford. The latter was a critical and commercial success. Scott followed it with Let's Make It Legal (Richard Sale, 1951) in which he played a millionaire chased by Marilyn Monroe. He was on TV in Tales of Tomorrow (1951) and Betty Crocker Star Matinee (1952) and went to England to make the crime film Wings of Danger (Terence Fisher, 1952) with Kay Kendall. In Hollywood, he was in Studio One in Hollywood (1953) and Medallion Theatre (1953) on TV, and in Appointment in Honduras (1953), directed by Jacques Tourneur. He was in The Revlon Mirror Theater (1953), Chevron Theatre (1953), Suspense (1954), Schlitz Playhouse (1954), The Motorola Television Hour (1954), Campbell Summer Soundstage (1954), The United States Steel Hour (1954), Omnibus (1954), Climax! (1955) and General Electric Theater (1955), In Robert Montgomery Presents (1956), he played Philip Marlowe in a version of The Big Sleep. Other TV appearances were in Science Fiction Theatre (1955), The Star and the Story (1956), Celebrity Playhouse (1956), Theatre Night (1957) and Pursuit (1958). He made occasional films such as the Westerns Treasure of Ruby Hills (Frank MacDonald, 1955) and Shotgun (Lesley Selander, 1955) starring Sterling Hayden and Yvonne DeCarlo. DeCarlo was also his co-star in the Republic Film Noir Flame of the Islands (Edward Ludwig, 1956). The following year, he appeared in the British crime films The Counterfeit Plan (Montgomery Tully, 1957) with Peggie Castle, and Man in the Shadow/Violent Stranger (Montgomery Tully, 1957) co-starring Faith Domergue. Scott returned to Broadway with 'Requiem for a Nun' (1959).
Zachary Scott starred in the English-language Mexican drama La joven/The Young One (1960), co-written and directed by Luis Buñuel. "Inspired by" the story 'Travelin' Man' by Peter Matthiessen, the film deals with issues such as racism and statutory rape by depicting the interactions between two men and a teenage girl on a private island game preserve. The film was co-written by Hugo Butler (under the pseudonym H. B. Addis) and produced by George Pepper (as George P. Werker), two Americans who had moved to Mexico after being blacklisted in Hollywood. The Young One was screened in competition at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival and has received highly positive reviews since its release. Scott guest starred on The Chevy Mystery Show (1960), Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1960) and Diagnosis: Unknown (1960). In 1961, he portrayed White Eyes, a Native American Chief, in the Rawhide episode Incident Before Black Pass. He was in the now-lost film Natchez Trace (Alan Crosland Jr., 1960). The film takes place in the 1820s focusing on the exploits of John Murrell, a slave trader and bandit who worked the central part of the Natchez Trace in the 1820s and 1830s. Zachary Scott played roles in such TV shows as The DuPont Show of the Month (1961), Play of the Week (1961), The New Breed (1961), The Defenders (1961) and The DuPont Show of the Week (1962). Scott's last roles included the TV movie The Expendables (1962), and episodes of The Doctors and the Nurses (1962) and The Rogues (1965). His final film was the comedy It's Only Money (Frank Tashlin, 1962) with Jerry Lewis. Scott returned to Broadway for 'A Rainy Day in Newark' (1963) by Howard Teichmann. He then moved back to Austin. During his time at Warner's, Scott and his first wife Elaine socialised regularly with Angela Lansbury and her husband Richard Cromwell. Elaine Scott had met Zachary Scott in Austin and she made a name for herself behind the scenes on Broadway as stage manager for the original production of Oklahoma! The Scotts had one child, Waverly Scott. In 1950, Scott was involved in a rafting accident. Also during that year, he and Elaine divorced. She later married writer John Steinbeck. Possibly as a result of these developments or due to a box-office slump, Scott succumbed to depression, which affected his acting for Warners. Scott married his second wife, actress Ruth Ford, in 1952. Scott adopted her daughter, Shelly, from Ford's previous marriage to Peter van Eyck. Scott died in 1965, from a malignant brain tumour at the home of his mother in Austin, Texas at the age of 51. In 1950, a star was dedicated to Scott at 6349 Hollywood Boulevard in the Motion Pictures section of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

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?

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!

An arrest outside the Hatfield Federal Courthouse in Portland, Oregon on the night of July 26, 2020. The activists were protesting the presence of federal officers in the city, and continuing the Black Lives Matter protests that started after the murder of George Floyd.
Portland has been roiled by nightly protests following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. President Donald Trump said he sent federal agents to Oregon’s largest city to halt the unrest but state and local officials say they are making the situation worse.
The clashes in Portland have further inflamed the nation’s political tensions and triggered a crisis over the limits of federal power as Trump moves to send U.S. officers to other Democratic-led cities he says are violent.

This is about 10 miles away from Iao Valley (www.flickr.com/photos/52544814@N00/14419287660/). Such a vast difference between the north-east part of the West Mountain and the south-east part.
Obviously we are not in rain forest territory here.
This trail was quite old (about 200 years old) and used to be how the Hawaiians crossed the mountain to get to the west/desert side of the island (where Lahaina is, the town where I started my holiday with July 4th celebrations).
It gains ~1600 feet in 2.5 miles. I almost didn't do it as I set aside my final full day on Maui for relaxation (I rented a condo directly on the beach and intended to spend all day there reading and sipping Mai Tais). I am glad that the urge to climb took over me. This was a great hike.
Maulbronn Monastery was founded in 1147. The church, built in a style transitional from Romanesque to Gothic, was consecrated in 1178. Most other buildings followed within the 13th century. The complex is believed to be one of the the best-preserved medieval Cistercian monastery complex north of the Alpes (some claim "in Europe"). Since 1993 Maulbronn is part of the Unesco World Heritage.
Two clearly separated parts form the large Cisterian monastery, following Benedict of Nursia´s famous dictum "Ora et Labora" (Pray and Work). These half-timbered buildings seen on the previous shot belonged to the Labora-side. Here is the "Ora" side. In front of the church is a large narthex, called "Paradies".
As you can see from the scaffolding all around the church, my "bad luck", that had started a couple of days ago in Fritzlar, continued in Lorsch yesterday. now found me here. Wherever I arrived - the scaffoldings had arrived earlier ...
Georgia will continue to contribute to international efforts in addressing large movements of migrants and refugees - regardless of our small size or our own security challenges. - was a key note message in the speech delivered by H.E. Giorgi Kvirikashvili, Prime Minister of Georgia at a High Level Meeting on Large Movements of Refugees and Migrants held at the United Nations (UN) Headquarters today. Prime Minister also noted that 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was launched one year ago, from that very UN tribune, with a pledge that "no one will be left behind".
"With this statement the UN Member States committed to address the consequences of a migrant crisis which was already leaving millions stranded. Yet forced displacement has since then only increased, with a staggering 300 million international migrants, refugees and internally displaced persons registered this year. Against this backdrop conflicts and insecurity in parts of Africa and the Middle East continue to drive mass exodus, and the death toll of migrants crossing borders continues to climb. Millions globally are still at risk of being left behind" noted the Prime Minister of Georgia.
Head of the Government of Georgia stressed that burden of forced displacement has not bypassed Georgia.
Since the early 90s, Georgia's regions of Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia have witnessed several waves of ethnic cleansing under occupation by the Russian Federation. Approximately 400 000 persons have been forcibly displaced - when Georgia's entire population makes up only 4 million. Prospects of their safe return are grim with ongoing creeping annexation and installation of barbed wire fences along the occupation line. Meanwhile, ethnic Georgians in the occupied territories continue to suffer from daily discrimination. It is simply not possible to turn a blind eye to this, and to what is going on worldwide" added the Prime Minister of Georgia.
As noted by the Head of Government, Georgia has already received more than 4 000 asylum seekers from various parts of the world, e.g Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Egypt, and Somalia. Georgian Universities offer educational programmes for students from displaced communities. "We are committed to continuing our assistance in the educational sphere, together with interested partners, including donor countries or organisations that can provide financial support to this initiative" added the Prime Minister of Georgia.
In his opinion, International Organisation for Migration, Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and other international agencies have made immense efforts to alleviate the plight of victims. But the gravity of the situation requires a coordinated political response - the situation now is unprecedented. "We need to address the root causes of forced displacement to ensure the situation does not get out of control. We need to be proactive rather than reactive, prevent escalation of conflicts and preclude further waves of displacement. The question is: where do we start? Violation of international law is one of the root causes of conflicts. If we make sure that all actors abide by the law and strictly observe their commitments, we can start moving towards a more peaceful world. We can start preventing crises and the mass exodus that ensues from the millions affected. At the Istanbul World Humanitarian Summit this May we committed to promote a new approach and support the emergence of safe, dignified, and durable solutions for refugees and internally displaced persons. The right to safe return is a basic human right and it must be guaranteed, irrespective of political differences" concluded the Prime Minister of Georgia.

Overall impression. Splendido continues its splendid reign over Canadian cuisine. With much focus of the restaurant team likely on the newest member of the Spelendido family (Nota Bene opening the week after), I was afraid that the dining room would lack a bit of the usual attention and polish. Although not full, the staffs present were attentive and accommodating (don't expect snooty attitudes, but a friendly warm greeting), kind enough to make dietary substitutions and mixing and matching the current tasting menu with other fantastic menu offerings (and one created just for the evening) to suit our table's interest in trying out the restaurant's wears. Featuring many Canadian focused dishes (and wines – oh how I was spoiled with the recent bombardment of old world/French wines), the restaurant's fare may not be able to compete with its US neighbours for refined hotel styled cooking, but it is a wonderful representative of top notch Canadian cuisine. I have a bias for the rich and eclectic source of products that are produced from this country, including game, wild fruits, vegetables and plant products. Each experience at Splendido convinces me more that Splendido's kitchen is probably our country's best in producing Canadian fare using purely Canadian ingredients. The components in each dish were notably fresh and top notch; their pairings on the plate, safe – which may also be the only criticism – things are too safe. But Splendido is not known to be experimental or innovative, just refined and uncomplicated, in other words, good. Oh Canada indeed.
