As one of the office newbies, I was thrilled to volunteer to serve on our Christmas Party Planning Committee. In addition to the nuts and bolts of the party planning, I decided to start a new office tradition...giving back to the community. So for our "first annual Christmas contribution," we each brought in new, unwrapped toys for the young patients at Children's Mercy Hospital. Here's a shot of the whole enchilada of collected toys in our conference room. See that cute little froggy in the middle? He's a very special little guy. See my next photo for the entire story. :)

Philadelphia, commonly referred to as Philly, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania and the second-most populous city in the Northeast megalopolis and Mid-Atlantic regions after New York City. Philadelphia is known for its extensive contributions to United States history, especially the American Revolution, and served as the nation's capital until 1800. It maintains contemporary influence in business and industry, culture, sports, and music. Philadelphia is the nation's sixth-most populous city with a population of 1,603,797 as of the 2020 census and is the urban core of the larger Delaware Valley (or Philadelphia metropolitan area), the nation's seventh-largest and one of the world's largest metropolitan regions consisting of 6.245 million residents in the metropolitan statistical area and 7.366 million residents in its combined statistical area.
Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn, an English Quaker and advocate of religious freedom. The city served as the capital of the Pennsylvania Colony during the British colonial era and went on to play a historic and vital role as the central meeting place for the nation's founding fathers whose plans and actions in Philadelphia ultimately inspired the American Revolution and the nation's independence following the Revolutionary War. Philadelphia hosted the First Continental Congress in 1774, preserved the Liberty Bell, and hosted the Second Continental Congress during which the founders signed the Declaration of Independence, which historian Joseph Ellis has described as "the most potent and consequential words in American history". Once the Revolutionary War commenced, the Battle of Germantown and the siege of Fort Mifflin were fought within Philadelphia's city limits. The U.S. Constitution was later ratified in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. Philadelphia remained the nation's largest city until 1790, when it was surpassed by New York City, and it served as the nation's first capital from May 10, 1775, until December 12, 1776, and on four subsequent occasions during and following the American Revolution, including from 1790 to 1800 during the construction of the new national capital of Washington, D.C.
With 18 four-year universities and colleges, Philadelphia is one of the nation's leading centers for higher education and academic research. As of 2018, the Philadelphia metropolitan area was the state's largest and nation's ninth-largest metropolitan economy with a gross metropolitan product of US$444.1 billion. The city is home to five Fortune 500 corporate headquarters as of 2022. As of 2023, metropolitan Philadelphia ranks among the top five U.S. venture capital centers, facilitated by its proximity to New York City's entrepreneurial and financial ecosystems. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange, owned by Nasdaq since 2008, is the nation's oldest stock exchange and a global leader in options trading. 30th Street Station, the city's primary rail station, is the third-busiest Amtrak hub in the nation, and the city's multimodal transport and logistics infrastructure, includes Philadelphia International Airport, and the rapidly-growing PhilaPort seaport. A migration pattern has been established from New York City to Philadelphia by residents opting for a large city with relative proximity and a lower cost of living.
Philadelphia is a national cultural center, hosting more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other city in the nation. Fairmount Park, when combined with adjacent Wissahickon Valley Park in the same watershed, is 2,052 acres (830 ha), representing one of the nation's largest and the world's 45th-largest urban park. The city is known for its arts, culture, cuisine, and colonial and Revolution-era history; in 2016, it attracted 42 million domestic tourists who spent $6.8 billion, representing $11 billion in economic impact to the city and its surrounding Pennsylvania counties.
With five professional sports teams and one of the nation's most loyal fan bases, Philadelphia is often ranked as the nation's best city for professional sports fans. The city has a culturally and philanthropically active LGBTQ+ community. Philadelphia also has played an immensely influential historic and ongoing role in the development and evolution of American music, especially R&B, soul, and rock.
Philadelphia is a city of many firsts, including the nation's first library (1731), hospital (1751), medical school (1765), national capital (1774), university (by some accounts) (1779), stock exchange (1790), zoo (1874), and business school (1881). Philadelphia contains 67 National Historic Landmarks, including Independence Hall. From the city's 17th century founding through the present, Philadelphia has been the birthplace or home to an extensive number of prominent and influential Americans. In 2021, Time magazine named Philadelphia one of the world's greatest 100 places.

John George Diefenbaker's contribution to his country needs no repeating here. His declaration, "I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand up for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of Freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind," was a basis for the Canadian Bill of Rights.
I met Mr. Diefenbaker while I was attending the Canadian Police College in Ottawa on a four-months study scholarship. In the evenings I would stroll through Rockcliffe Village, where the homes of diplomats, politicians and the embassies are situated in idyllic surroundings. As I passed one particular house,I often saw an elderly man in his garden,pulling weeds or trimming bushes and we customarily passed the time of day. It was not for some weeks that I realised that this was the Rt.Hon John Diefenbaker, a past Prime Minister of Canada and a colourful politician.
On my next trip around Rockcliffe I was disappointed that he was not in his garden but screwed up courage enough to go knock on the door. It was answered by his housekeeper who explained that he was away at a meeting. I related my request for a portrait sitting to her and she advised me to write a short note, giving a contact number, and she would explain to Mr. Diefenbaker who had called.
Some days later, during a lecture, a member of the RCMP burst into the room and asked for "Dave Roberts, the New Zealand guy". I was then told to contact Mr. Diefenbaker's secretary at Parliament. The stunned silence and open-mouthed looks attested to the reverance in which he was held and I became not a little apprehensive.
Appointment arranged, I went to Parliament and to Mr. Diefenbaker's suite. I had brought a flash with me as I intended to use bounce flash to soften the lighting. Imagine my horror when I was requested not to use flash as Mr. Diefenbaker's health was not too good and he was not to be startled. I was futher horrified by the low light level in the room. I was using Ilford FP4, which I normally rated at 320ASA and developed in Promicrol developer. Taking a reading for the slowest shutter speed I could hand-hold at and the widest aperture that the camera would give me revealed that I would be rating the film at 6400ASA! There was nothing else to do but to get on with it and I engaged my subject in conversation ranging through his political past to my reasons for being in Ottawa. He was an interested conversationalist and the details were as much about me as about him. When I had finished I thanked him for his generous gift of time and wished him better health. He wistfully replied, "Mr. Roberts, I don't think I'll be around too much longer to help guide Canada's destiny." I was left with a memory of a great and gracious man in the twilight of his life. To my knowledge it is the last portrait taken of him, for scant months later he had passed away.
It probably looks better! :) Since this is International Silly Face Week, according to several other Flickrites, I wanted to join in. I took a couple shots and this was the sillier one so I went with it.
Go ahead and LYAO. That's what it's here for!

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 http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Greyson's contribution to Liam's nursery. It's the two of them. His first drawing was a big circle with a scribble inside with him standing next to it. I was confused. He explained it was Liam in my belly..... Makes perfect sense. We kept drawing for fun and this was what he decided on. He was so proud of it. #babyzamot

Over 1,300 personnel from all three armed services, veterans and cadets made the 2019 National Armed Forces Day parade in Salisbury the largest one to date. Originally conceived as Veterans Day, the name of the event was changed in 2009 to National Armed Forces Day to celebrate the contributions of both past and present members of the British Armed Forces. Taking place on the last Saturday of June, the parade is one aspect of a whole weekend where the national lead event is hosted by a different town or city each year around the UK.
The national event was held from 28 to 30 June 2019 in Salisbury and hosted by Wiltshire Council and its council leader Baroness Scott of Bybrook OBE.
Her Royal Highness Princess Anne reviewed the parade on 29 June 2019 of more than 1,300 service personnel, cadets and veterans and took the salute on the dais in front of the Guildhall, accompanied by the Mayor of the City of Salisbury John Walsh, as the procession went by. The parade was preceded by a fly past by the Red Arrows at 10 am. The parade was led by a detachment from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, followed by bands and marching contingents from the three armed services, veterans and cadets and finished with the British Army units which hold the Freedom of the City of Salisbury.
The order of the procession was as follows:
Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment
Band of HM Royal Marines Portsmouth
Royal Navy drawn from ships across the Fleet
Corps of Royal Marines
King’s Royal Hussars
Royal Tank Regiment
Coyote Tactical Support Vehicle
22 Engineer Regiment, Corps of Royal Engineers

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster David Lidington, Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt, senior military officers and civic dignitaries also watched the parade.
Defence Secretary, Penny Mordaunt said: “On Armed Forces Day we celebrate the exceptional contribution service personnel, regular or reservist, veterans and their families make to our security and prosperity. The Armed Forces protect us and defend us around the world and serve communities throughout our country. With more than 300 events taking place across the UK, it’s incredible to see people coming together to show their support for the Armed Forces.”
The national event provided an opportunity to welcome the troops returning from Germany to Wiltshire, as one-quarter of the British regular army will be based in the county by 2020.
The Armed Forces and Salisbury have a close and historic relationship and the national event gave the people of Salisbury the chance to thank the Armed Forces for their tireless support towards the city’s recovery following the Novichok poison attacks in 2018.
Baroness Scott of Bybrook OBE, leader of Wiltshire Council, said: “Wiltshire is the beating heart of the Armed Forces and we are extremely proud of our long association with the military. The Armed Forces Day National Event is a unique opportunity to recognise and pay tribute to the specialist military teams, the emergency services and the other organisations that managed the incident and the subsequent clean-up that has helped south Wiltshire to return to normal.”

The A10 motorway extends 160 kms along Italy’s 'Flower Riviera' (Riviera dei Fiori) in Liguria from the French border to Genova. This autostrada might be the only stretch of roadway on earth to have more than 100 tunnels. The route is also filled with dozens of such towering viaducts, several of them are 90 meters in height. These include the Viadotto Taggia (90 meters high), which you can see here, Viadotto Crovetto (90 meters high) and Valle Latte (90 meters high). Other high viaducts along the A10 include the Viadotto Sasso (80 meters high), the Viadotto Borghetto and a viaduct near Casa Serena.
