Thank you everyone for attending our parties. Keeping a party brand going is a very difficult thing to do, but we did it. For everyone that does not know our story, three of our organizers (DJ Antomattei, Travis, and Yukina) were apart of another party brand "VivaTokyo" prior. In November 2011 shortly after the VivaTokyo 1st Anniversary Party, the three made the decision to form their own new international party brand. On November 13, 2011 a meeting was held, and along with two new members (Yui and Mizuha), "TOKYO KNIGHTS ♛ 東京ナイツ" was formed.
Since our launch event we have been producing a party monthly for Tokyo's A-list crowd, hipsters, and the cool young people that define us. For the demographic of men and women aged between 20 - 40 years old, we would say that we have the best international party in Tokyo. Our parties are for everyone. Please come to our "1st Anniversary Party" and celebrate with us as we head into a new year of our fun history.
今まで東京ナイツに来てくれた皆様、ありがとうございます！私達オーガナイザーが東京ナイツを始めようと決めたのは2011年11月13日でした。

A Double-crested comorant (Phalacrocorax auritus ) struggles to takeoff using up a long stretch of the river before getting airborne.
"The gangly Double-crested Cormorant is a prehistoric-looking, matte-black fishing bird with yellow-orange facial skin. Though they look like a combination of a goose and a loon, they are relatives of frigatebirds and boobies and are a common sight around fresh and salt water across North America—perhaps attracting the most attention when they stand on docks, rocky islands, and channel markers, their wings spread out to dry. These solid, heavy-boned birds are experts at diving to catch small fish.". - www.allaboutbirds.org
This is a photograph is one of a set of photographs from the Castlepollard 5KM Road Race and Fun Run 2013 which was held in Castlepollard, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 14th August 2013 at 20:00. The race is hosted by North Westmeath Athletic Club. The race has grown in stature and popularity over the years and is now one of the most well attended road races in the midlands. The race offers prizes in all categories. Castlepollard 5KM Road Race attempts to support young runners and walkers by organising a range of underage races around the town square before the adult race at 20:00. Profits from the race go towards grassroots athletics in the region - North Westmeath Athletics, Schools Cross Country, and local community games. Due to the slightly late start and the fading light it was difficult to capture as many photographs as normal and we ended up with many blurs and mistakes. This photograph belongs to a larger set of photographs from the race event which are accessible at this link [http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157635070120285/]
Event Management and Race Timing were provided by PRECISION TIMING: See their website at [www.precisiontiming.net/result/racetimer] and their Facebook Page at [www.facebook.com/davidprecisiontiming?fref=ts]
The Castlepollard 5KM can be considered as the final major race in summer road racing in the midlands as with the fading light of the late summer comes less opportunities to hold races in the evening time. Castlepollard is a small town located in North County Westmeath amongst the lakes of Lough Lene and Lough Derravagh.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: There was about 470 participants which is a significant increase on previous years.
Weather: This was a warm humid night. There was little or no breeze which made for very favourable conditions for 5KM racing.
Course: The race begins near the Church and ino the town square and proceeds directly out the R395 towards Coole and Edgeworthstown. The first KM is flat and quick allowing the field to spread out. The race then enters the Tullynally Castle estate and proceeds up the tree-lined avenue. The gardens, like the castle are on a magnificent scale, taking in nearly 12 acres. This allows the race to make a big loop of the gardens with a quick downhill stretch followed by a sharp climb before the race rejoins it's outgoing path for the final 1.5KM of the race. The final 800M from the gate of the Castle grounds to the finish is as the first - fast and flat and allows for a great finish at the GAA grounds.
Location Map: See the links below: goo.gl/maps/J6HUl (Google Satellite Imagery)
Refreshments: There was a very impressive selection of refreshments provided for participants in the GAA hall afterwards.

How can I get a full resolution copy of these photographs?
All of the photographs here on this Flickr set have a visible watermark embedded in them. All of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available offline, free, at no cost, at full image resolution WITHOUT watermark. We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, etc or (2) other websites, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us. This also extends the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember - all we ask is for you to link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. Taking the photographs and preparing them for online posting does take a significant effort. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around your social media, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc.
If you would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?
Many people offer payment for our photographs. As stated above we do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers 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.
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
Difficult to date. Probably after 1900. It appears to be a snapshot (small format film), which means that it was taken with an affordable camera, and so early 1900s or after 1910. The building stood on the east end of town and is visible in one of the pictures of the flood of 1913 (around eight pages forward from here, or in my Indiana & Ohio set). Sitting on the second story porch you could look out over the Wabash River (just behind the cameraman) towards Terre Haute. I cannot identify any of the three in the picture.
Difficult to make a choice among the pictures taken in this temple since everyone wanted to be shooted !
Actually more difficult than I expected as the bleed nipple and valve are not so easily accessed. And my bleed hose was only just long enough to go down between the bell housing and the body into the jar.

CHRISTMAS CAKE
Préparation : 30 mn
Temps de cuisson : entre 3h et 3h30 (selon le four)
Temps total : 4 h
Difficulté : Moyenne
Ingrédients :
Pour un moule de 20 cm de diamètre sur 5 cm de haut :
- 250 g de beurre
- 250 g de sucre brun
- 250 g de farine
– 575 g de sultanines foncées, de sultanines dorées et de raisins de Corinthe
- 100 g d'écorce d'orange confite coupée en dés
- 50 g de cerises confites rincées, séchées et coupées en deux
- 50 g d'amandes effilées
- 1 c. à c. de quatre-épices
- 4 œufs
- sel (1/4 de c. à c.)
- 3 c. à s. de cognac
Pour la décoration :
- 500 g de pâte d'amandes
- 1 kg de sucre glace
- 4 blancs d'œufs
- 2 c. à s. de jus de citron
- 2 c. à c. de glycérine
Préparation :
Cake :
Battre le beurre avec le sucre pour en faire un mélange léger. Ajouter chaque œuf séparément tout en battant. Tamiser dans un saladier la farine, les épices et le sel. Ajouter la farine et les fruits secs au mélange beurre-sucre-œufs. Ajouter le cognac. Bien mélanger. Beurrez le moule abondamment. Garnissez le fond et les bords de papier cuisson double-épaisseur en le faisant dépasser de 3 cm du bord.. Verser la pâte dans le moule. Placer le moule sur un journal plié sur la plaque de cuisson. Mettre au four à 140°. Vérifiez la cuisson à la lame de couteau. Sortir le gâteau et laisser refroidir 24 h dans le moule. Envelopper de papier-alu et garder dans une boîte en fer hermétique pendant au moins 15 jours.
Décoration (une semaine ou dix jours avant Noël) :
Appliquer au pinceau sur toute la surface du gâteau un peu de confiture d'abricot tiédie. Etendre la pâte d'amandes comme une pâte à tarte en usant de sucre glace en guise de farine, sur 1/2 cm d'épaisseur. Couvrir le gâteau de pâte d'amande en appuyant. Laisser sécher la pâte d'amande 24h.
Délayer les blancs sans les battre avec le citron et la glycérine. Ajouter le sucre glace en mélangeant à la cuillère en bois pour obtenir une pâte lisse très pâteuse. En enduire le gâteau sur 1 cm d'épaisseur. Lisser à la spatule mouillée. Couvrir le reste de glaçage, dans le bol, d'un torchon mouillé pour qu'il ne durcisse pas. Avec une seringue à douille cannelée décorer le gâteau. Le glaçage doit être assez ferme pour que les pointes du décor restent droites.
La glaçage durcit à l'air et le gâteau se conserve très bien dans une boîte hermétique.
Close-up image of mantle of Jorunna onubensis. Found under a stone at 14 m depth. Cadaqués, Catalonia. October 2007. © M. Pontes.
A: Crowded, match-like, retractile tubercles with subapical ring of sharp projecting spicules (caryophyllidia). Found on both J. tomentosa and J. onubensis. Difficult to photograph because small and transparent-colourless.
The bright white opaque cap on some of them is mentioned in the original description of J. onubensis as 'iridescente'; no iridescence can be seen in this image, but the camera may not have captured it. The white caps appear to be quite frequent on the caryophyllidia of J. onubensis, but some specimens of J. tomentosa also have some white caps.
Jorunna onubensis Cervera, García-Gómez & García, 1986,
is very similar to J. tomentosa; reliable identification of this species requires examination of dissected anatomical features and, ideally, D.N.A sequencing. The external features below are described in the original description of J. onubensis [based on four intertidal specimens from Huelva, southern Spain]. The features illustrated in this Flickr account are on a specimen from Catalonia of J. onubensis identified by Miquel Pontes and confirmed by Prof. J. Lucas Cervera. Many features are common to both J. onubensis and J. tomentosa; confirmation by dissection and/or D.N.A, sequencing is desirable. Specimens of J. onubensis photographed by one of the authors of its first published description, J. C. García Gómez, can be seen at opistobranquis.info/en/guia/nudibranchia/euctenidiacea/do...
and other images by L. Sánchez-Tocino at

Difficult to photograph as it is secured behind bars, this is the historically significant Anne Boleyn Cup. This chalice was presented to Doctor of Medicine, Dr Richard Masters by Queen Anne Boleyn in gratitude for his care of her daughter Elizabeth, the future Elizabeth I of England. The chalice is sculpted in gilt silver.
The only thing more difficult and challenging than discovering the truth is then acting on that truth - it is a great challenge - however it is possible for each of us.
Difficult mooring for me tied up against the stern of Loch Ness. When I awoke next day there was a large rib tied alongside, they left at 6am.

In 1948, the USAF requested Ryan Aircraft to develop a jet-powered target drone aircraft, as it was anticipated that propeller-driven drones would be too difficult to intercept for fast jet fighters then coming into service. Ryan responded with the Q-2 Firebee, which could be launched from modified A-26 Invader drone controllers, or from the ground.
While the Q-2 was adequate, the rapid progression of aviation in the 1950s rendered it obsolete. Ryan then developed an advanced version, the Q-2C, which was larger, used swept wings, and used an uprated engine with a different style intake. This subsequently became the BQM-34 after 1962.
Most Firebees were (and remain) used as targets for weapons training, and could be configured with flares or radar reflectors to simulate different types of aircraft. If the drone was not destroyed, the controller could then cut off the engine and deploy a parachute, after which a helicopter would recover it for future use. Drone controllers either flew the Firebee from a ground station, or more often, converted DC-130 Hercules aircraft. BQM-34 drones are still in service.
Besides their use as targets, the BQM-34 series was also converted to reconnaissance duties prior to the Vietnam War. Under various codenames (Firefly, Lightning Bug, and Buffalo Hunter), a dizzying amount of Firebee variants for these purposes were built and used. Some were equipped with cameras, others with infrared detectors and signals intelligence (SIGINT) equipment. The advantage of Firebees were that, if they were shot down or crashed, there would be no loss of a pilot. Between 1968 and 1970, when American aircraft were officially banned from flying over North VIetnam, BQM-34s were used instead. Several were shot down, though North Vietnamese MiG fighters found them elusive targets; rumors persist that one MiG-17 crashed while in pursuit of a Firebee, and the controller claimed it as an aerial victory. Firebees were also used over China and North Korea, and as late as 2003 over Iraq, where they were used as decoys for Iraqi surface-to-air missiles.
Losses of Douglas EB-66 Destroyer standoff jamming aircraft over North Vietnam led to the USAF to consider modifying drones to act as ECM aircraft. Not only would this no longer risk the lives of aircrew, the drones could precede the strike force to the target area. The USAF began Project Combat Angle in 1966, modifying AQM-34G Firebees to carry ECM suites and chaff dispensers as AQM-34Vs. As ECM pods that could be carried on strike aircraft improved, Combat Angle did not receive much attention, and the first AQM-34V was not tested until after the Vietnam War was over, in 1976. Though the AQM-34V was never used in combat, similarly modified BQM-34-53s were used in the Second Gulf War in 2003.
Though it is painted as an AQM-34L, this is actually a K model Firebee. It depicts "Tom Cat," an AQM-34L Compass Bin used over North Vietnam in the late 1960s; "Tom Cat" was one of the more successful Firebees, flying 68 missions over North Vietnam (most of them in the lethal Pak Six area) before its luck ran out in 1974, when it was shot down by flak near Hanoi. "Tom Cat" was assigned to the 556th Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron at Bien Hoa, South Vietnam, where it dropped AQM-34s from DC-130 motherships.
Though many Vietnam-theater Firebees were either camouflaged or painted black, "Tom Cat" wore ADC Gray, which made it harder to see against the clouds. This AQM-34K was repainted and donated to the SAC Museum at Ashland, Nebraska by the 100th SRW. It is slightly inaccurate: the real "Tom Cat" had a different sharkmouth, didn't carry a tail number, and didn't carry a SAC stripe on the rear fuselage. It currently hangs by the entrance area at the museum, between the SR-71 and the museum's restoration facility.
From the base of Chinese strokes, from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult, interesting teaching, to help students sum up the composition of Chinese characters, understanding parts and radical, and find their commonalities and differences.
Chinese characters play an important role in Chinese culture. Learning Chinese characters can help students better understand Chinese and speed up their learning of Chinese so that they can read Chinese newspapers and magazines. In addition, Chinese calligraphy art is an important derivation of Chinese characters, and mastering Chinese characters can open the door to understanding Chinese calligraphy. Whats more, if you want to pass the HSK test and go to a Chinese University, Chinese must be mastered.

Learn to Read and Write Mandarin Chinese
1. Learn Pinyin. Pinyin is a kind of Chinese writing system. The letters of Pinyin originate from the Rome alphabet, not the Chinese characters. Pinyin is very useful for Chinese learners, even if you haven't learned traditional Chinese characters, you can learn to read and write mandarin with Pinyin. There are many Chinese textbooks with Pinyin, as well as learning materials. Although Pinyin is derived from the Rome alphabet, English native speakers cannot get hang of its pronunciation immediately. Therefore, it is very important to have a correct pronunciation guidance when learning Pinyin.
2. Learn to read Chinese characters. Although recognizing Chinese characters is not a necessity for learning Chinese, many people are attracted by Chinese characters because Chinese characters will make them feel closer to traditional Chinese culture. However, in fact, it is not easy to recognize Chinese characters. In order to understand the contents of the Chinese newspapers, an ordinary Chinese reader needs to familiarise himself with about 2000 Chinese characters - and this is just the beginning. It is said that there are more than 50000 Chinese characters (though some of them are no longer used). The greatest advantage of recognizing Chinese characters is that you can learn more about other cultures, including Cantonese, Japanese and Korean. These languages, though different from Chinese in pronunciation, use Chinese characters (or simplified versions of Chinese characters) in writing.
3. Learn to write Chinese characters. Once you learn to read Chinese characters, you may be interested in the writing of Chinese characters. Learning chinese writing is a complex skill. It requires patience and a little sense of art. The first step in learning Chinese characters writing is to learn the "basic unit", that is, the independent radicals, which form the basis of Chinese characters. There are 214 radicals in Chinese, some radicals are single words, others are just part of complex Chinese characters. When writing Chinese characters, the stroke order is very important. You must follow certain rules - for example, from top to bottom, from left to right, first horizontal and then vertical. If the stroke is not correct, then the word you write is wrong.
4. Read Chinese. If you want to improve the level of Chinese reading, you need to read at least 15-20 minutes a day. First of all, you can read some children's books (basically with Pinyin) to improve your reading level, and of course, you can also find some good materials on the Internet to read. You can also use the Chinese you learned in your daily life. You can try to read the Chinese tags on food, or ask a waiter at a restaurant for a Chinese menu. Once you have improved your reading level, you can get some Chinese newspapers (Chinese version) and try your best to read the articles. This is also a good way to help you understand Chinese culture and current affairs in China.
5. Learn to write Mandarin Chinese every day. In order to improve your Chinese writing level, you can write something in Chinese every day, no matter in Pinyin or in Chinese character. One way is to write a Chinese diary every day, write something about the weather, write what you feel or what you have done every day. If you are brave enough, find some friends who speak Chinese to help you check if there are any mistakes. Or you can also find a Chinese pen pal to write to each other. This is a win-win way, you can improve your Chinese level, and your pen pal can improve his or her English level. You can also ask your pen pal to help you modify your letter and send it back to you in reply. The last way to practice Chinese writing ability is to make a Chinese list, such as shopping lists, or Chinese tags for the household objects.

This is a photograph from the 30th annual Bohermeen AC Patrick Bell 5KM Road Race, Jog, Walk, and Fun Run which was held at Bohermeen AC, Ardbracan, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland at 19:30 on Saturday 6th June 2015. The race was held in warm sunshine but with the presence of a very strong headwind which made running conditions difficult in places for all participants. The race commemorates Patrick Bell, the late Bohermeen clubman who died tragically in the summer of 1985 following a traffic accident, whilst returning home from Cork having competed in the National track championships. The wonderful atmosphere, the great racing and participation, the work by the club, Meath Athletics, the local community, and the long summer evening is, yet again, a fitting tribute to Patrick's memory and his contribution to Athletics in Ireland. The race also commemorates clubman Nicky Philips. Congratulations to everyone involved. Everything that is good about grassroots athletics and running in Ireland was on show in Bohermeen tonight. The race route reverted to the 2013 course as last year (2014) the course had to be changed at the last moment due to a funeral which was taking place in the area. The folks at Bohermeen AC and the local community hosted a barbeque, cook-out, and entertainment late into the night. It has earned the reputation as having one of the best after race atmospheres you are likely to find in Ireland. The race started 400m from the Bohermeen AC track and heads towards Navan. The course then makes 3 right hand turns around some beautiful rural country roads and turns back to Bohermeen AC and then back for the final kilometer which is straight to the track and the finish on about 60 meters of athletics track. Over 600 participants took part making it one of the largest 5KM races in the region
This is a set of photographs from the end of the race until about the 25 minute finish time. The full set is available at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157651804660314

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

Waitangi Day
Or 'your unpronounceable holiday' as one of my English friends described it. It's not difficult. Why Tang Ee. Waitangi.
1. I started the day with the traditional public holiday thing for home owners, doing some maintenance, tying up the clematis. There is a gorgeous clematis plant growing across the front of the garage. It needed to be pinned back. Although I am at home during the week I did not want to get up on a ladder on the steep drive while there was nobody else home, just in case I fell.
2. It is also the day of the NFL Super Bowl. Well, in the USA, where it is being played, it is Sunday evening but here in NZ we 'live in the future'. Rik is a fan and is pleased that this year it coincides with a public holiday so he can be home and watch it live. One of our American friends, Dave, came over to watch it with him and with Joe. I have no interest in the football so left the guys to enjoy the game, their beers and some chips'n'dips while I set about using the BBQ for the first time. It's been used before, but not by me. Joe, who had made some delicious meatballs, wandered out to help me.
3. One of the things I cooked on the barbie was corn on the cob. I love how fresh it is here.
4. When we were at the supermarket yesterday Rik suggested we buy a 'pav' (a pavlova) for today. As I had no time to make one (and very little experience of it, and that a long time ago) I thought this a great idea. It is, after, the traditional kiwi dessert. I served it with some defrosted berries and whipped cream.
A year ago today I had thank you gifts from a Swiss couchsurfer.

Bangor bounce back against Portadown
by Roger Corbett
Determined to put their disappointing performance against Dundalk behind them, Bangor produced a patient display against Portadown to win by 17-10.
Last weekend had been a difficult one for both sides. Bangor were well and truly humbled by an exemplary performance by Dundalk, losing by the largest margin in recent years. For Portadown’s part, they travelled to Donaghadee only to be put to the sword by a merciless 46-0. Bangor needed the win today to show that still had what it takes to remain a powerful force in the league. Likewise, Portadown were hoping to stop the rot of several poor results and remain in contention for an all-important top four place, keeping alive their hopes to contest the All Ireland Junior Cup next season. With both sides fielding teams that reflected their growing injury lists, this had all the ingredients for an interesting and competitive encounter. Bangor had 6 changes from last weekend, the most notable being a 1st XV debut for David Caughey coming in for Freddie Black at second row.
Portadown kicked off with the wind at their backs, and for the first half hour of the game play was almost entirely held within the centre of the pitch, between the two twenty twos. Although Bangor were producing the more meaningful attacks, they suffered from knock-ons when tackled, and some miss-timed passes that went astray. On a positive note, the scrums looked solid and the line-outs showed signs of improvement. However, after 35 minutes a good Portadown break saw Bangor desperately defending their line. In the resulting series of defensive rucks, Bangor were eventually penalised and a yellow card was shown to Curtis Stewart. The stalemate was then broken on the stroke of half time when Bangor conceded another penalty, this time in front of their own posts. The straightforward kick was successful giving Portadown the narrowest of leads as the sides turned around at 0-3.
Now playing with the wind advantage, Bangor got the second half underway. However, it was Portadown who showed the early initiative, winning another penalty after 12 minutes of play. With the wind in their faces, the kick was pushed wide and Bangor were let of the hook. Bangor now started to lift their game and were showing signs of promise with characteristically good runs from Curtis Stewart and Davy Charles. The sustained pressure eventually paid off when Portadown conceded a penalty which Neil Cuthbertson successfully converted, levelling the scores at 3-3.
As the game entered the final quarter, Bangor were making better use of the wind than their opponents had in the first half. Although some kicks went too long, others provided just enough pressure on the Portadown defence to cause them problems. This is exactly what happened when a kick deep into Portadown’s twenty two looked like it might have been going long, but the Portadown full back decided to play it. However, he underestimated the flight of the ball and only managed to get his hands to it, slowing its progress to the goal area. Realising the danger of his actions, he tried to keep the ball in play and then clear up-field, but it overran and Bangor were awarded the 5 metre scrum. Finding themselves in one of their best attacking positions for some time, Bangor’s scrum proved too much for Portadown who were duly penalised. This hadn’t been the first offence of this nature, so the yellow card was shown to the offending Portadown player. Now with the extra man advantage in the scrum, Bangor set about the weakened Portadown pack, resulting in another collapsed scum. The referee, having just warned the Portadown players about the implications of such repeated offences, had no hesitation in awarding Bangor a penalty try under the posts. With the added conversion from Cuthbertson, Bangor were now ahead for the first time, by 10-3.
Bangor now started to look more relaxed, and were keeping play in Portadown’s half. After another 10 minutes, a Bangor scrum on the right hand wing resulted in quick ball to the back line. A long pass by Mark Thompson at out half missed the centres and went straight to Davy Charles, coming into the line from full back. With the Portadown defence trying to cover across, Charles had the pace to get through and dive over in the left hand corner for a try. The touchline kick by Cuthbertson was superbly judged, added the extras and extending Bangor’s lead to 17-3.
Although Bangor enjoyed further scoring opportunities, these came to nothing as poor passing saw the ball go to ground and the attack falter. Portadown, on the other hand, were anxious to come away with something to show for their efforts and mounted a late surge towards Bangor’s line. In the ensuing waves of attack, a series of penalties conceded by Bangor resulted in a yellow card for Charles. The combination of a quickly taken tap penalty and an out of shape Bangor defence, provided Portadown with enough space to dart through for a converted try, and earn a losing bonus point in the process, as the final score came to 17-10.
While this performance could hardly be described as champagne rugby, it still tasted good for Bangor to return to winning ways, and go some way to putting last week’s loss behind them. The mixture of old and new players worked well together, and demonstrates the depth in strength Bangor enjoy within their senior squad. With no match next week, the players and coaching staff have time to regroup and prepare for another ‘cup final’ game – this time against our closest neighbours and rivals, Donaghadee. With the Dee currently enjoying a purple patch and fighting for their survival in this league, and Bangor looking to maintain their hold at the top end of the table, this fixture promises to be an intriguing encounter.

Most of these photos, for the exception of the Willemstad photos, were take at or around the Santa Barbara Beach and Golf resort. For more information on this resort go to www.santabarbararesortcuracao.com/ . This is one fo the top five islands in Caribbean it is especially popular for snorkelers and divers because it boasts of 100m of visibility in their emerald blue waters. It is 25 miles from the coast of Venezuala and one of the ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao) The landscape is beautiful but rugged full of thick brush and cactus. The temperature (in November) was close to 90 degrees F each day I was there. The capital city, Willemstad, is rich with history with fort walls and cannons protecting its coastline. The buildings are colorful and rich with the Dutch influenced architecture. For more information on this island to to www.curacao.com/ or en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cura%C3%A7ao
HISTOIRE(S) STÉPHANOISE(S) 1950 à nos jours : modernisation, crise et reconversions @ A partir des années 1950, Saint-Étienne se voit confrontée à une double difficulté : un parc immobilier particulièrement médiocre (20 % de taudis, 56 % de logements médiocres) et une forte croissance démographique accompagnée d'un afflux d'une main d'oeuvre issue d'Afrique du Nord. Ainsi, de nombreux grands ensembles sont construits dans les quartiers périphériques à partir des années 1950 (Beaulieu, Marandinière, La Métare, etc.). Saint-Étienne atteint alors son apogée démographique : 220 000 habitants en 1968. Le territoire s'agrandit en 1973 avec l'absorption des communes de Saint-Victor et Terrenoire et l'association avec Rochetaillée.
Les Trente Glorieuses et la société de consommation bénéficient encore à Saint-Étienne, Manufrance en constitue le meilleur exemple. Les conflits coloniaux entretiennent la production d'armes.
A partir des années 1960, Saint-Étienne n'échappe pas à la crise : concentration des entreprises, concurrence du pétrole et du gaz au détriment du charbon, concurrence de l'Asie dans le textile. Le puits Couriot ferme en 1973, Creusot-Loire en 1985, et tout un symbole : Manufrance en 1980. Pourtant, les industries mécaniques subsistent.
La création d'une université, le développement de grandes écoles, l'installation d'une maison de la culture, de la Comédie de Saint-Étienne, dans les années 1960, effacent progressivement l'image traditionnelle de la cité-usine. La ville connaît alors une stabilité politique, plutôt au centre avec les maires de Fraissinette et Durafour.
A partir des années 1970, vient le temps de la désindustrialisation et des reconversions. La friche de Manufrance, plus grande d'Europe, est reconvertie dans les années 1990 et abrite le Centre des congrès, la Chambre de commerce et d'industrie, une partie de l'École des mines, etc. Un exemple emblématique : le musée de la Mine s'installe au Puits Couriot.

Des exemples concrets sont présentés afin d'illustrer l'utilisation des différentes innovations : les coffrages outils, coffrage glissant, le tunnel, des procédés pour accélérer le durcissement du béton. Le procédé dit de coffrage glissant est illustré sur le chantier des tours Pablo Picasso à Nanterre. Le principe est de s'affranchir des échafaudages : le coffrage épouse le contour du bâtiment, il s'élève avec la construction et permet de réaliser simultanément l'ensemble des murs verticaux. Au centre du plancher de travail, une grue distribue en continu le ferraillage et le béton.

Le reportage se penche ensuite sur la préfabrication en usine. Ces procédés de préfabrication en usine selon le commentaire sont bien adaptés aux pays en voie de développement, cela est illustré dans le reportage par une réalisation en Libye à Benghazi. Dans la course à l'allégement des matériaux un procédé l'isola béton est présenté. Un chapitre sur la construction métallique explique les avantage de ce procédé. La fabrication de composants ouvre de nouvelles perspectives à l'industrie du bâtiment.

Ministère de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire - Dotation par la France d'autoroutes modernes "nécessité vitale" pour palier à l'inadaptation du réseau routier de l'époque voué à la paralysie : le reportage nous montre des images d'embouteillages. Le ministre de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire dans les deux gouvernements de Pierre Messmer, de 1972 à 1974, Olivier Guichard explique les ambitions du programme de construction qui doit atteindre 800 km par ans en 1978. L'ouverture de section nouvelles va bon train : Nancy / Metz par exemple. Le reportage nous montre l'intérieur des bureaux d'études qui conçoivent ces autoroute dont la conception est assistée par ordinateurs dont le projet d'ensemble en 3D est visualisé sur un écran. La voix off nous informe sur le financement de ces équipements. Puis on peut voir des images de la construction du pont sur la Seine à Saint Cloud reliant l'autoroute de Normandie au périphérique, de l'échangeur de Palaiseau sur 4 niveau : record d'Europe précise le commentaire. Le reportage nous informe que des sociétés d'économies mixtes ont étés crées pour les tronçons : Paris / Lille, Paris / Marseille, Paris / Normandie. Pour accélérer la construction l’État a eu recours à des concessions privées par exemple pour le tronçon Paris / Chartres. "Les autoroutes changent le visage de la France : artères économiques favorisant le développement industriel elles permettent de revitaliser des régions en perte de vitesse et de l'intégrer dans le mouvement général de l'expansion" Sur le plan européen elles vont combler le retard de la France et réaliser son insertion. Images de l'inauguration de l'autoroute entre Paris et Bruxelles par le président Georges Pompidou. Le reportage rappel que l'autre fonction capitale des autoroute est de favoriser la sécurité. La question de la limitation de vitesse est posée au ministre de l’Équipement, qui n'y est favorable que sur certains tronçons. Un des facteur de sécurité selon le commentaire est l'humanisation des autoroutes : aires de repos, restaurants, signalisation touristiques... "Rien n'est impossible aux techniques modernes" nous apprend la voix off qui prend comme exemple le déplacement sur rail de 65 mètres d'un château classé afin de faire passer l'autoroute Lille / Dunkerque.Durée : 4 minutes 30 secondes

www.dailymotion.com/video/xw6lak?playlist=x34ije - Rue neuve 1956 la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, villes, villages, grands ensembles réalisation : Jack Pinoteau , Panorama de la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, ce film de commande évoque les villes et villages français détruits puis reconstruits dans un style respectant la tradition : Saint-Malo, Gien, Thionville, Ammerschwihr, etc. ainsi que la reconstruction en rupture avec l'architecture traditionnelle à Châtenay-Malabry, Arles, Saint Étienne, Évreux, Chambéry, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, Abbeville, Le Havre, Marseille, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Dunkerque. Le documentaire explique par exemple la manière dont a été réalisée la reconstruction de Saint-Malo à l'intérieur des rempart de la vieille ville : "c'est la fidélité à l'histoire et la force du souvenir qui a guidé l'architecte". Dans le même esprit à Gien, au trois quart détruite en 1940, seul le château construit en 1494 pour Anne de Beaujeu, fille aînée de Louis XI, fut épargné par les bombardements. La ville fut reconstruite dans le style des rares immeubles restant. Gien est relevé de ses ruines et le nouvel ensemble harmonieux est appelé « Joyau de la Reconstruction française ». Dans un deuxième temps est abordé le chapitre de la construction des cités et des grands ensembles, de l’architecture du renouveau qualifiée de "grandiose incontestablement".

Thème Histoire Cité Moderne MRU Période contemporaine 1946-1975 des Trente glorieuses .. Le bonheur est dans le béton .. Les premiers grands ensembles musee-hlm.fr/discover/focus/31#/home www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbbaIAK7RLk&lc=UgzBYTN2uj9aPh... www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGpMyJdxIcY A partir des années 1950, Saint-Étienne se voit confrontée à une double difficulté : un parc immobilier particulièrement médiocre (20 % de taudis, 56 % de logements médiocres) et une forte croissance démographique accompagnée d'un afflux d'une main d'oeuvre issue d'Afrique du Nord. Ainsi, de nombreux grands ensembles sont construits dans les quartiers périphériques à partir des années 1950 (Beaulieu, Marandinière, La Métare, etc.). Saint-Étienne atteint alors son apogée démographique : 220 000 habitants en 1968. Le territoire s'agrandit en 1973 avec l'absorption des communes de Saint-Victor et Terrenoire et l'association avec Rochetaillée. Les Trente Glorieuses et la société de consommation bénéficient encore à Saint-Étienne, Manufrance en constitue le meilleur exemple. Les conflits coloniaux entretiennent la production d'armes. A partir des années 1960, Saint-Étienne n'échappe pas à la crise : concentration des entreprises, concurrence du pétrole et du gaz au détriment du charbon, concurrence de l'Asie dans le textile. Le puits Couriot ferme en 1973, Creusot-Loire en 1985, et tout un symbole : Manufrance en 1980. Pourtant, les industries mécaniques subsistent.La création d'une université, le développement de grandes écoles, l'installation d'une maison de la culture, de la Comédie de Saint-Étienne, dans les années 1960, effacent progressivement l'image traditionnelle de la cité-usine. La ville connaît alors une stabilité politique, plutôt au centre avec les maires de Fraissinette et Durafour.A partir des années 1970, vient le temps de la désindustrialisation et des reconversions. La friche de Manufrance, plus grande d'Europe, est reconvertie dans les années 1990 et abrite le Centre des congrès, la Chambre de commerce et d'industrie, une partie de l'École des mines, etc. Un exemple emblématique : le musée de la Mine s'installe au Puits Couriot.La ville, marquée par une tradition industrielle très forte, doit aujourd'hui vivre une mutation économique en profitant d'un environnement technologique favorable avec des leaders mondiaux (industrie de pointe dans l'optique, textile de haute technologie) et des établissements d'enseignement supérieur (École Telecom, École des Mines). La ville, héritière d'une tradition de savoir-faire et du second tissu de PME/PMI de France, compte également sur le design. Elle est ainsi devenue "Ville creative design Unesco", seule ville française.
- La Palle, c'est Beaulieu IV, à cette époque là, l'on passe de 114 logements construits en 1948 à 531 en 1951, 1 085 en 1954, 1 694 en 1957 et même 2 932 en 1959 ! L'effort est gigantesque. Le quartier de la Palle réalisé de mai 1967 à mars 1970, comprenait 1049 lgts du studio au T6, répartis sur 12 barres, dont 3 pour la rue Colette, le groupe de la Palle sera le seul groupe de logements sociaux que comprendra la Métare en 1967, le reste ne sera que des copropriétées nommée BEAULIEU V, qui elles, seront construite en "Accession a la Propriété"(il s'averrera plus tard un échec, bref..) de 1962 à 1973, en 3 opérations succesives de 725 lgts, de 549 & 518 lgts, çe sur le versant dominant le parc de l'Europe (voir mes photos d'Ito Josué qui à photographié les constructions de nos quartiers Stéphanois lors des 30 glorieuses, tirées de ses livres, qui me passionne & me font voyagé dans le temps..) - l'Opération de Construction - BEAULIEU IV - un concept de nos G.E. spéçifique à nos 30 Glorieuses de rendre Jolie çe qui jadis, ne l'etait pas, voir plu, fautes aux guerres ... "les chantiers de l'O.P.A.C." de 1962 à 1972* (à savoir 1962 à 1966 pour le groupe de Colette, apres 1966 le reste ne sera que de la copropriété*, mais relevant toujours de la même équipe d'architectes, une dixaine tout de même Farat/Gouyon/Bertholon & d'autres, Edouard Hur lui à été tres important sur la 1ere tranche de Beaulieu, soit beaulieu1 sur la CAF et les 2 tours en copropriété une de 17 etage & l'autre de 15, du 7 et 11 rue de la Métare 42100 ,une construction de 1971 à 1974 ),içi la derniere tranche des constructions, la suite & la fin ! - Voiçi la Métare I, II, et III., retour sur son histoire .... La ville de St-Etienne Métropole & l'ETAT à choisit de construire un immense quartier neuf de plus de 4.600 logements, prévu pour loger 30.000 habitants, sur les basses pentes du Pilat, à la sortie sud-est de Saint-Etienne...Entre les forêts, qui seront classées parc naturel quelques années plus tard, et les quartiers chics du cours Fauriel, c'est un des endroits les mieux situés de la ville.

"François Mitterrand, après la visite de deux quartiers -
l'un à Saint Etienne et l'autre à Vénissieux, inscrits sur la liste de ceux à réhabiliter -, parle du plan de réhabilitation pour de meilleures conditions de logement
Le Président > 1er septennat 1981-1988 > 1981-1986
Depuis la fin des années 1970, la région lyonnaise apparaît comme l'épicentre des violences urbaines qui se déroulent en France. Durant l'été 1981, des violences urbaines ont conduit le gouvernement à engager le plus tôt possible une nouvelle politique en faveur des quartiers dégradés. Malgré les premières opérations de réhabilitation engagées par la Commission nationale pour le développement social des quartiers, la situation demeure extrêmement tendue dans un certain nombres de quartiers populaires. L'assassinat d'un jeune de la Cité des 4 000 par un habitant en juillet 1983 a ravivé les débats autour du thème du "mal des grands ensembles" selon l'expression de l'époque. D'autre part, le contexte politique conduit également le pouvoir à s'intéresser encore davantage à la question de la dégradation urbaine dans la mesure où de très nombreux quartiers populaires n'ont pas cette fois-ci apporté leurs suffrages aux candidats de la gauche. La visite de François Mitterrand dans deux quartiers dégradés de la région lyonnaise constitue donc un signal fort à l'égard des populations qui y vivent. Ce déplacement fait également écho à celui réalisé quelques jours plus tôt au sein de la Cité des 4 000 à La Courneuve en Seine Saint Denis (voir Visite de François Mitterrand à La Courneuve). Le principe est d'ailleurs le même et il est exprimé par le président de la République : voir par lui-même l'état réel de ses quartiers. Le fait qu'il soit mentionné dans le reportage que "ces visites surprises" se soient faites dans la "plus grande discrétion" (notamment sans les élus locaux concernés) marque effectivement la volonté du président de la République d'établir une sorte de lien direct avec les habitants qui vivent dans ces quartiers. Il ne s'agit pas de faire l'annonce de nouvelles mesures mais "de voir les choses par moi-même" selon l'expression utilisée par François Mitterrand lors de son allocution à la Préfecture à Lyon. Au moment où la Commission nationale pour le développement social des quartiers établit la liste définitive des 22 quartiers qui bénéficieront d'un programme de réhabilitation, la visite du président de la République sur le terrain suggère une forme de "présidentialisation" du thème de la réhabilitation des grands ensembles. La création au même moment de Banlieue 89 suscitée par deux architectes proches de François Mitterrand, Roland Castro et Michel Cantal-Duparc, suggère également l'intérêt du président de la République pour les questions urbaines (voir Inauguration de l'exposition organisée par Banlieue 89)."http://fresques.ina.fr/.../visite-de-francois-mitterrand...
Visites surprises qui se sont déroulées dans la plus grande discrétion, seule Madame Georgina Dufoix, Secrétaire d’Etat à la Famille et aux Immigrés, Monsieur Gilbert Trigano, le PDG du Club Méditerranée qui participe à la Commission Dubedout, et deux collaborateurs du Chef de l’État étaient présents. Ni à Saint-Étienne, ni à Vénissieux, les autorités locales n’y ont participés. Peu avant midi, le Président est arrivé à la Préfecture du Rhône à Lyon où s’est déroulée pendant 45 minutes une séance de travail avec les élus locaux et notamment Messieurs Dubanchet, Maire de Saint-Étienne et Houël, Maire de Vénissieux. Réunion qui a donné l’occasion d’aborder les problèmes de fond, devait souligner François Mitterrand. Les deux quartiers que je viens de visiter, celui de Montchovet à Saint-Étienne et celui de Monmousseau à l’intérieur des Minguettes sur la commune de Vénissieux, sont inscrits sur la liste des 22 quartiers à réhabiliter, retenus, proposés par la Commission Dubedout devenue la Commission Pesce, et retenus par le Gouvernement. Et je compte appliquer nos efforts pour qu’effectivement, ces quartiers soient réhabilités, c’est-à-dire, soient habitables. Qu’on y trouve, pour ceux qui y vivent, euh, suffisamment de convivialité, de capacité de développer une famille et, euh, revenant de son travail quand on en a, de pouvoir vivre avec les autres. Les conditions de logement, la construction de ces ensembles, les liaisons avec l’extérieur, l’école, le sport, les espaces verts, bref, l’espace tout court, contribuent, vous le comprenez bien à, au futur équilibre, ou contribueront au futur équilibre de ces quartiers. Alors, je préfère voir les choses par moi-même. Il faut bien se dire que à l’origine de nombreux désordres sociaux se trouvent ces fâcheuses, ces déplorables conditions de vie. Et moi, je veux lutter contre ces désordres et pour cela, il faut que je m’attaque avec le Gouvernement et ceux qui ont la charge auprès de moi, je veux absolument m’attaquer aux sources d’un malaise et d’un déséquilibre social qui sont d’une immense ampleur. Raison de plus pour commencer par un bout avec énergie et continuité. Et de ce point de vue, je compte bien, au cours des semaines et des mois à venir, persévérer dans cette enquête personnelle qui me permet ensuite de donner des instructions précises à ceux qui participent à la gestion de l’État à Saint-Étienne comme dans les communes de sa proche banlieue. Une sorte de grand monument à la gloire des HLM, comme si on avait fait exprès de la faire aussi énorme pour montrer comme les gens étaient fiers de ce quartier. Autour on construit tout ce qu'il faut pour les habitants : une école, Montchovet, qui donne sur le grand pré derrière, une MJC, une piscine, un centre commercial, avec la Poste, plus tard le bureau de police. En 1978, comme les enfants des habitants grandissent, on ouvre un deuxième collège dans la ZUP. Il prendra le nom de Jean Dasté, qui a créé la Comédie de Saint-Etienne, le plus grand théatre de province en France, et son école de comédiens. Après 1984 les loyers des HLM ont augmenté, beaucoup d'habitants sont partis. La population de Saint-Etienne diminue surtout dans les quartiers sud : beaucoup de gens déménagent vers la plaine du Forez, moins froide, où il y a la place de batir des maisons. On a rénové beaucoup d'appartements anciens en ville : la crise du logement est finie. On ne sait même plus qu'elle a existé. Les ZUP ont vieilli et la plupart des gens préfèrent se loger dans des appartements récents. Alors on ferme : le collège de Beaulieu, l'école de la Marandinière, la Poste. La Muraille coute très cher à entretenir : il n'y a plus asssez d'habitants pour payer les frais. Les HLM ont décidé de la détruire: c'est le plus gros projet de démolition jamais réalisé en Europe. Les familles qui restaient ont du déménager. On va faire exploser la Muraille de Chine au printemps de l'an 2000. Peut être qu'il fallait le faire, mais pour les gens du quartier c'est un gros morceau de notre Histoire qu'on nous détruit. 1954: les premiers travaux à Beaulieu : la campagne devient une ville à grands coups de bulldozer..Le projet est de construire en grande quantité des logements de bonne qualité, avec tout le confort, des chambres pour les enfants, l'eau, le chauffage central, des sanitaires, des arbres et des pelouses, et surtout .... des loyers accessibles pour tous. Ce seront les Habitations à Loyers Modérés, les HLM.
Il faudra les construires en dehors des villes, pour en finir avec le mélange des industries et des logements, qui amène le bruit et la pollution. Y prévoir tous les équipements : commerces, écoles, collèges, lycées, transports, parcs, équipements sportifs, police, pompiers, Postes. Construire des villes entières où tout le monde aura accès à ce qui n'était encore que le luxe de quelques gens très riches. Cinq villes sont choisies pour être prioritaires : Paris ( Pantin ) et Lyon ( Bron-Parilly) à cause de leur taille, Angers et Rouen détruites dans les bombardements de 1944, Saint-Etienne, la ville la plus sinistrée de France pour le logement. C'est là que naissent les cinq premières Zone à Urbaniser en Priorité, les ZUP, modèles de l'urbanisme pour toute une génération. Elles ne s'appellent pas encore comme ça : on les construites avant que l'expression de ZUP existe, c'est de leur réussite que naitra le modèle repris partout pour lequel on inventera le mot plus tard. NBeaulieu I: le projet d'urbanisme
Maquette de 1953 - Projet des architectes Gouyon-ClémentUne architecture géométrique, de grands espaces, des arbres, des formes qui soulignent le relief.
La ZUP de Beaulieu est construite en quatre tranches:
- Beaulieu I ( Beaulieu ) de 1953 à 1955
- Beaulieu II ( La Marandinière ) en 1959
- Beaulieu III ( Montchovet ) en 1964, dont fait partie la Muraille de Chine, le grand immeuble le long du boulevard à gauche.
- Beaulieu IV ( La Palle ) en 1971
Le quartier: Au premier plan, en bas à droite Beaulieu, la Marandinière est à droite derrière l'autoroute, Montplaisir à gauche, Monchovet au milieu, le long du boulevard de la Palle. A gauche des tennis, les batiments du collège de Beaulieu. C'était l'autre collège de la ZEP, le seul collège "sensible" de France a avoir été fermé, en 1995. Nouvelles techniques, nouveaux matériaux : Construire vite pour un prix raisonnable oblige à inventer de nouvelles techniques, d'autant que l'on manque de travailleurs qualifiés. La construction s'industrialise: immeubles à structure porteuse ( des poteaux en béton armé tiennent les dalles, ce ne sont plus les murs qui soutiennent les immeubles ), murs rideaux ( les murs sont fait de morceaux préfabriqués accrochés aux dalles ), éléments standardisés ( les éléments: murs, tuyauterie, portes et fenêtres, sanitaires, etc... sont tous identiques, fabriqués en usine en grande série, installés de la même façon dans tous les immeubles ), nouveaux matériaux ( matières plastiques, béton armé, acier ) qui ne s'utilisaient pas dans la construction traditionnelle.
Cela permet de diminuer les prix, en automatisant les fabrications, mais aussi parce qu'on peut utiliser des ouvriers beaucoup moins qualifiés, qui ne font que du montage et que l'on paye moins cher. Bien après les gens se plaindront de ces appartements tous identiques, de ces matériaux peu agréables, de la taille inhumaine des batiments. Mais à l'époque il faut compter deux à trois ans d'attente pour obtenir un appartement dans le quartier. Les familles sont si contentes de leur quartier tout neuf que les collègiens qui prennent le bus emportent une paire de bottes en plus de leur chaussures pour aller des immeubles à l'arrêt de bus : pas question de ramener de la boue dans les bus ou dans les escaliers. La crise du logement:
1950 : la France connait la pire crise du logement de son Histoire. La crise économique de 1929 puis la guerre de 1939-1945 ont arrêté la construction de logements, déja insuffisante avant 1930, pendant plus de vingt ans.
La France est au maximum du "baby-boom" ( période de très forte natalité qui commence à la fin de la guerre ) : les 40 millions de français de 1950 font deux fois plus de bébés que les 60 millions d'aujourd'hui. La très forte croissance économique relance l'immigration. Plus de la moitié des familles sont mal logées alors que la France commence la plus forte croissance démographique de son Histoire.
La IV° République, héritière du programme de la Résistance donne la priorité aux besoins sociaux : école, santé, logement, sur la rentabilité financière. L'Etat, les villes, sont décidés à investir dans le logement, qui est déclaré prioritaire dans le Plan d'organisation de l'économie. Entre les années 50 et 60, et suite à la seconde guerre mondiale, la municipalité stéphanoise a vu sa population passée d’un peu moins de 180 000 habitants en 1950 à plus de 200 000 habitants dix ans plus tard en 1960. Cette forte augmentation de la population pouvait s’expliquer par le fort taux de natalité de cette époque (baby-boom), mais aussi par l’afflux de travailleurs de la classe ouvrière venus dans la grande cité stéphanoise pour trouver un travail. De ce fait, la construction d’un logement sain pour chaque ouvrier était devenue une priorité absolue pour les élus qui considéraient à raison que cela était une condition vitale dans le cadre de ce grand développement. Pour ce faire, la ville a lancé dans les années 50 une vaste opération de construction de barres d’habitation dans la zone de Beaulieu, destinée à fournir un logement à une population grandissante. Une barre d’habitation innovante
A l’époque, avec une majorité d’architectes, les appartements modernes construits possédaient des cloisons lourdes empêchant toute modification interne ainsi que des espaces de renvoi sombres et non ventilés ressemblant à des alcôves.
Mais à l’inverse, pour certains architectes précurseurs de la région à l’image d’Yves et Henri Gouyon, la modernité reflétait le gout de la clarté, de l’air, et du soleil, avec de larges horizons. Ainsi, ces derniers donnaient la priorité non pas aux façades qu’ils considéraient comme de simples élévations du plan, mais aux cellules d’habitations et à leur orientation. Dans cette optique, le bâtiment proposé par Henri Gouyon, qui était donc un partisan de l’espace ouvert moderne, supprimait les circulations et profitait de ce gain de place pour aménager de nouveaux espaces de vie communes. De plus, dans ces cellules d’habitations, les architectes ont tirés profit au maximum de la double orientation des appartements (ces derniers étaient traversant) avec par exemple l’accolement de balcons. Conception et réalisation d’un quartier entier
Pour le projet de Beaulieu, l’on confia la conception ainsi que la réalisation des interventions aux agences Henri et Yves Gouyon puis Yves Gouyon et associés. Ainsi, dés le milieu des années 50, des études concernant Beaulieu II – La Marandinière furent conduites, suivis de la construction du bâtiment entre 1957 et 1959. S’en suivit Beaulieu III – Montchovet entre 1962 et 1964, surnommé la « Muraille de Chine », qui comprenait entre autres, une barre de type HLM haute de 10 à 17 mètres et longue de 270 mètres, avec 560 logements. Suites à ces constructions, l’urbanisation des vallées et collines du sud-est de Saint-Etienne continua jusque dans les années 70 avec les séries de la Métare I, II, et III. Au total, ce sont plus de 8 000 logements, pour l’essentiel de type HLM, qui ont été construits durant cette période. Ces constructions ont également contribué à la création du parc de l’Europe et d’un boulevard circulaire qui servait de jonction entre les différents édifices et le centre-ville de la cité stéphanoise. Un projet pharaonique
Le centre commercial fut un projet d’une dimension sans précédent pour la ville, plus grand centre commercial intra-urbain de la région Loire-Auvergne, avec 100 magasins, 1500 places de stationnement, 90 000 m² de surface, et sur 3 niveaux (4 niveaux avec la terrasse). Le 2 octobre 1979, CENTRE DEUX ouvre ses portes pour la première fois, et constitue une renaissance et un véritable tournant pour la ville. L’avis de l’architecte De toutes les constructions de cette époque, Beaulieu est un des ensembles construits qui se porte le mieux si l’on en croit les nombreuses enquêtes menées auprès de la population de ces logements, dont certains l’occupe pratiquement depuis le début. Les arbres atteignent désormais le haut des immeubles, et la rue Le Corbusier adjacente a pris les allures « d’une banlieue des années 30 » avec un niveau d’urbanisme parfaitement acceptable. En conclusion, on peut parler pour cette construction d’un véritable savoir faire architectural et en quelques sortes d’art urbain. Ce projet a été récompensé par un prix d’urbanisme, mettant en valeur le travail en amont du projet. St-Etienne Cimaise Architectes -
- Entretien avec François Tomas, géographe, spécialiste de l'aménagement urbain, et enseignant à l'université et à l'école d'architecture de Saint-Etienne. Il est notamment l'auteur des Grands Ensembles, une histoire qui continue (Publications de l'université de Saint-Etienne, 2003). Cet intellectuel a également mis la main à la pâte. Entre 1977 et 1983, il fut adjoint à l'urbanisme du maire communiste de l'époque, Joseph Sanguedolce. Engagé au PC de 1974 à 1985, il a, depuis, rejoint le Parti socialiste «comme militant de base»
Quelle est l'ampleur des destructions provoquées par la Seconde Guerre mondiale à Saint-Etienne?
La ville subit un important bombardement des Alliés le 26 mai 1944. Celui-ci vise les usines qu'utilisaient les Allemands dans la région pour leur effort de guerre et les noeuds de communication ferroviaire. Comme prévu, la gare de Châteaucreux, les usines de Marais et le tunnel de Tardy sont touchés. Mais les bombes, larguées trop rapidement, atteignent aussi les quartiers du Soleil et de Tardy - notamment les écoles - ainsi que l'église Saint-François, emplie de fidèles. Au total, le bilan est lourd: un millier de morts, 1 500 blessés, 22 000 sinistrés; 800 immeubles ont été plus ou moins détruits.
Que prévoit-on pour la reconstruction?
Pas grand-chose. A la différence de la refonte spectaculaire du Havre, par exemple, on se contente ici de bâtir de petits immeubles, plus modernes bien sûr, mais sans réelle innovation architecturale ou urbanistique.
Est-il vrai que Saint-Etienne, après guerre, traîne une réputation de «capitale des taudis»?
C'est exact, et celle-ci n'est pas usurpée. En 1946, 7% seulement des logements sont jugés «confortables», et 17%, «acceptables»; 56% sont médiocres, et 20% peuvent véritablement être qualifiés de taudis: 1 logement sur 5 n'a pas d'eau à l'évier, les deux tiers ne disposent pas de WC, et 95%, de salle d'eau. Mais le problème n'a pas été créé par la guerre. Depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, Saint-Etienne a beaucoup grandi, mais très peu construit. Résultat: la ville a vieilli sur elle-même et se trouve après guerre dans une situation désastreuse, que les bombardements ont simplement aggravée. C'est alors qu'Alexandre de Fraissinette, maire élu en 1947, fixe le logement comme l'une de ses priorités.
Oui. Et ce ne sera pas un vain mot. Rendez-vous compte: on passe de 114 logements construits en 1948 à 531 en 1951, 1 085 en 1954, 1 694 en 1957 et même 2 932 en 1959! L'effort est gigantesque. Mais le changement est aussi qualitatif. A la fin des années 1940 et au début des années 1950, la France va connaître une rupture architecturale avec l'apparition des premiers grands ensembles. Saint-Etienne sera l'une des villes symboles de cette rupture. Comment cette nouvelle architecture est-elle accueillie?
Très favorablement par les classes moyennes, beaucoup moins par les classes populaires. Cela paraît paradoxal, pour du logement social! Le paradoxe n'est qu'apparent. On l'a oublié aujourd'hui, mais les premiers grands ensembles sont réservés aux familles de moins de trois enfants ayant des revenus corrects, autrement dit aux classes moyennes. Alors que, depuis la guerre, celles-ci devaient se contenter d'une ou de deux pièces mal équipées, elles se voient soudain proposer des logements spacieux, avec de la verdure, de la lumière, une salle d'eau, des WC, le chauffage central. Cela leur paraît merveilleux! Les pauvres, eux, continuent de s'entasser dans de petits appartements sans confort, quand ce ne sont pas des taudis, en particulier à Tarentaize et à Beaubrun, ou des bidonvilles, du côté de Méons, près des puits de mine et des usines sidérurgiques. Ce n'est que plus tard, à partir des années 1970, que les grands ensembles seront prioritairement réservés aux pauvres et aux familles immigrées. Mais, dans les années 1950, les grands ensembles sont encore synonymes de progrès social. Et même au-delà. On est persuadé que ce nouvel habitat va entraîner le recul de la maladie, de la délinquance, voire de la mésentente entre les époux! Il existe ainsi une «commission du bonheur ou des grands ensembles»! On croit rêver...
C'était l'ambiance de l'époque, avec ses utopies et ses excès. Pour les architectes, si l'un des repoussoirs est le taudis de centre-ville, l'autre est le petit pavillon de banlieue, symbole à leurs yeux de l'individualisme petit-bourgeois, avec ses gaspillages de terrain, son absence d'horizon et son coût pour la communauté...Quels sont les quartiers typiques de cette période, à Saint-Etienne? Le premier est constitué par le très bel ensemble de la place du Maréchal-Foch. Il s'agit d'une étape intermédiaire entre l'îlot traditionnel (des immeubles accolés, formant un pâté de maisons) et sa suppression totale. Du côté de la Grand-Rue, plusieurs immeubles constituent encore des semi-îlots. Mais, à l'ouest, deux immeubles sont déjà totalement indépendants: ils sont construits au milieu de la verdure. Et cela, c'est très nouveau. Jusqu'à présent, tous les immeubles érigés à Saint-Etienne, y compris les plus hauts, étaient accolés à d'autres édifices. Cela reste encore, cinquante ans plus tard, l'un des quartiers chics de Saint-Etienne. L'autre grande opération de l'époque, c'est Beaulieu I. Evidemment. On est, cette fois, face à un grand ensemble «pur». Le chantier commence en 1953 - il y a juste cinquante ans - et s'achève en 1955. Ce nouveau quartier de 1 264 logements est remarquablement conçu. Non seulement il respecte la topographie des lieux, mais aussi il joue avec elle: les bâtiments sont implantés soit parallèlement, soit perpendiculairement aux courbes de niveau, ce qui met en valeur la colline tout en préservant son sommet. Pour rompre l'anonymat, les entrées, les façades et les balcons sont individualisés. Les logements sont de qualité, et les espaces verts, confiés aux services de la ville, tout simplement magnifiques. Beaulieu produit d'ailleurs un effet prodigieux sur ses premiers habitants. Son implantation n'est pas non plus le fait du hasard...En effet. Compte tenu des préoccupations hygiénistes de l'époque, le conseil municipal a choisi ce site «loin des zones minières et industrielles, à l'abri des poussières et des fumées, au climat salubre». Il souligne qu'il ne sera «jamais exploité par les houillères, car son sous-sol est stérile» et qu'il est également «bien relié à Saint-Etienne par le cours Fauriel, la seule avenue large de la ville». C'est véritablement le contre-modèle du taudis. Il a d'ailleurs, lui également, remarquablement bien vieilli.
Etes-vous aussi enthousiaste pour les projets qui ont suivi Beaulieu I? Hélas!... Beaulieu II-La Marandinière (1957-1959), Beaulieu III-Montchovet (1962-1964), avec la fameuse «muraille de Chine», Beaulieu IV-la Palle (1967-1970) et la Métare (1962-1974), représentant à eux tous quelque 6 000 logements, constituent - à l'exception de la Métare, qui ne comprend que des appartements en copropriété - des échecs complets. Et tragiques.
Pourquoi cette différence?
Beaulieu I a bénéficié d'une accumulation de partis pris judicieux qui n'ont pas été appliqués par la suite. Outre la qualité de son architecture et de ses espaces verts, on a évité le zonage bête et méchant, qui allait s'imposer plus tard: les zones commerciales, d'un côté; les tours et les barres d'habitation, d'un deuxième; les emplois, d'un troisième. Enfin, Beaulieu I, réservé presque exclusivement aux classes moyennes, n'a pas connu le processus de dégradation que l'on constatera ailleurs, et dont la destruction de la «muraille de Chine» constituera le symbole.
This is a photograph is one of a set of photographs from the Castlepollard 5KM Road Race and Fun Run 2013 which was held in Castlepollard, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 14th August 2013 at 20:00. The race is hosted by North Westmeath Athletic Club. The race has grown in stature and popularity over the years and is now one of the most well attended road races in the midlands. The race offers prizes in all categories. Castlepollard 5KM Road Race attempts to support young runners and walkers by organising a range of underage races around the town square before the adult race at 20:00. Profits from the race go towards grassroots athletics in the region - North Westmeath Athletics, Schools Cross Country, and local community games. Due to the slightly late start and the fading light it was difficult to capture as many photographs as normal and we ended up with many blurs and mistakes. This photograph belongs to a larger set of photographs from the race event which are accessible at this link [http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157635070120285/]
Event Management and Race Timing were provided by PRECISION TIMING: See their website at [www.precisiontiming.net/result/racetimer] and their Facebook Page at [www.facebook.com/davidprecisiontiming?fref=ts]
The Castlepollard 5KM can be considered as the final major race in summer road racing in the midlands as with the fading light of the late summer comes less opportunities to hold races in the evening time. Castlepollard is a small town located in North County Westmeath amongst the lakes of Lough Lene and Lough Derravagh.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: There was about 470 participants which is a significant increase on previous years.
Weather: This was a warm humid night. There was little or no breeze which made for very favourable conditions for 5KM racing.
Course: The race begins near the Church and ino the town square and proceeds directly out the R395 towards Coole and Edgeworthstown. The first KM is flat and quick allowing the field to spread out. The race then enters the Tullynally Castle estate and proceeds up the tree-lined avenue. The gardens, like the castle are on a magnificent scale, taking in nearly 12 acres. This allows the race to make a big loop of the gardens with a quick downhill stretch followed by a sharp climb before the race rejoins it's outgoing path for the final 1.5KM of the race. The final 800M from the gate of the Castle grounds to the finish is as the first - fast and flat and allows for a great finish at the GAA grounds.
Location Map: See the links below: goo.gl/maps/J6HUl (Google Satellite Imagery)
Refreshments: There was a very impressive selection of refreshments provided for participants in the GAA hall afterwards.

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!

This is a photograph from the Tullamore Harriers AC "Quinlan Cup" Half Marathon which was held on Saturday 29th August 2015 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 12:00. This is the third year of the event. The race is organised and promoted by Tullamore Harriers AC. The race starts on the Charleville Road just outside the entrance to Tullamore Harriers. The race proceeds south along the R421 and onto the N52 before taking a route onto local back roads. The race then completes a large rural road route before it joins to the R421 again and the final 1.5 miles are the same as the first mile of the race. The runners enter Tullamore stadium and complete one lap of the tartan track before the finish line. The course is challenging in places with some undulations along the route. But overall it is fair course. 2013 seen the first year of the event as the club commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the formation of Tullamore Harriers AC which today is one of Ireland's best known athletics clubs.
The race was perfectly organised. The weather was good for racing but there was a very strong headwind for the first 6 miles of the race which made the conditions difficult. The weather was dry and warm except for the torrential downpour at around 1:45pm which cleared the whole finish area of spectators and runners. There were stewarts all along the route, 3 drink stations with bottled water, superb facilities, and great after-race refreshments. The stewards along the route provided great encouragement to all of the runners. Tullamore Harriers and the local community really worked together to make this is a wonderful event. There was also a relay option where teams of two can run approximately 10.5km each. In total almost 700 participants took part. This was higher than the 568 participants who completed the race which is almost 150 more than the 2013 event.
We have a large set of photographs from today's race at the start and the finish until the 2-00 finish time. They are available on Flickr at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157655560294853

As mentioned above this race half marathon started in 2013 and celebrated the 60th Anniversary (a Diamond Anniversary) of the foundation of Tullamore Harriers AC. The club was formed in the town in November 1953. However, it was almost 1979 before facilities close to what we see today open in the present day site. Over 50 provincial and national athletics meetings are held at Tullamore Harriers every year. The facilities available combined with it's central geographical location joining routes from North, South, East, and West make it a very attractive venue. The half marathon today firmly brings competitive national road racing back to "The Harriers". The Quinlan Cup which will be awarded to the winning club team. For more than 40 years the Harriers Quinlan Cup was the most prestigious event on the road racing calendar. Having started as a cross-country race back in 1957, it became a road race in 1967 and remained so until 2000 when the race was last held. During its reign as a blue-ribband event the Quinlan Cup was won by the likes of John Treacy and Eamonn Coughlan.
Today, the facilities at Tullamore Harriers are the envy of many athletics clubs in Ireland. The facilities provided by Tullamore make it one of the premier venues for local and national level athletics in Ireland. There is an Olympic standard tartan track, a fully equipped gym, changing facilities, press and media facilities, meeting room spaces, etc. The club also provides a social center and niteclub which makes "The Harriers" a very well known on the local social scene. Esssentially, the town of Tullamore would be a different place if it weren't for the presence of Tullamore Harriers AC.

It's very difficult getting a photo of this arch without people in it.This one is three shots put together in Photoshop.Each shot was framed to leave out the people which would have been in the shot if it was all done as one.
One of great things about Difficult Run is the complex rock formations. Water run through the rocks and creates interesting patterns. This is the middle section of Difficult Run and the patterns of water flow are great to photograph - definitely the lines add some interests to the image. Also the color of water is wonderful.
Determined Bangor grab vital win against Ballyclare
By Roger Corbett | Sunday 10th March 2013
In difficult playing conditions, it was Bangor who dominated and took their opportunities to win by 13-3, and close the gap to their rivals in this thrilling league contest.
At last the waiting was over and the two contenders for this season’s league title finally got to face up to each other in this crucial game for both sides. In difficult conditions, it was Bangor who took their opportunities to win by 13-3, and close the gap to their rivals to 3 points, with 2 games in hand.
With both sides fielding strong teams, and the internet pundits split on which way they reckoned the game would go, this was the pick of the QL2 fixtures with no clear favourite. Obviously home advantage would play its part, but the cold and wet weather coupled with a heavy pitch would add to the complexity of the situation.
Ballyclare got the game underway, playing into the breeze. From the outset, the home side were determined not to let Ballyclare get a foothold. Sensible, close quarter play saw Bangor move into the Ballyclare half and remain there for much of first half. However, Ballyclare’s defence, when called upon, was sound and withstood everything that was thrown at them. The eagerly awaited battle of the packs did not disappoint, with Ballyclare holding the normally rampant Bangor driving maul. However, the early indications were that Bangor had the upper hand in the scrums, having turned and disrupted them on Ballyclare’s put-in on a number of occasions.
The first score came mid-way through the half, when Chris Morgan converted a penalty from far out on the right hand side, making it 3-0.
Shortly afterwards, on 28 minutes, the Ballyclare hooker suffered a bad ankle injury and had to leave the field of play. Losing any player in a QL2 game is a major set-back, however it could be argued that this might have been worse for Ballyclare. With no hooker, the remainder of the game would be played with uncontested scrums, thus ensuring good possession for Ballyclare in this area – something that had been missing up to this point.
As the referee blew for half time, and with the score still at 3-0 for Bangor, there were anxious faces on the touchline, worried that this would not be enough of a lead when now playing into the wind.
Thankfully this worry appeared to be confined to the touchline, as Bangor restarted the second half in the same vein as the first. They were rewarded with another penalty after just 5 minutes, this time in front of the posts which Morgan again converted, doubling the lead to 6-0.
Just 7 minutes later, Ballyclare were awarded a penalty – in front of the posts, but quite a distance out. The well-taken kick just carried enough distance to go over, and reduce the deficit to 6-3.
Although the rain had all but stopped, and the wind eased, the players were all now suffering from the cold, resulting in many handling mistakes for both sides. However, it is testament to the fitness of both sides that the game never appeared to be running out of steam, and anything could happen before it was all over.
With just 2 minutes of normal playing time remaining, the constant harrying by the Bangor forwards finally forced the handling error in the Ballyclare line that provided the game’s decisive moment. Pouncing on a loose Ballyclare ball, Bangor prop Chris Schofield booted the ball through and set off in pursuit. The stunned Ballyclare defence was wrong footed, allowing Schofield, showing a tidy turn of speed, to touch down under the Ballyclare posts. Morgan’s simple conversion added the extras, extending Bangor’s lead to 13-3 and thus, more importantly, depriving Ballyclare of a losing bonus point which, up to this time had looked the likely outcome.
Although Ballyclare hurried back to try and add to their points tally, sensible positional play from Bangor, especially by out-half Jason Morgan, kept Ballyclare in their own half and denied them any further realistic opportunities. As the referee blew for full time, Bangor knew that their league destiny was now in their own hands.
Although this was a highly significant victory, there are still a number of testing games ahead, before playing the return away fixture against Ballyclare at the close of the league competition. Ballyclare may feel disappointed by the result, but all is not lost for them, especially as they contest the Towns Cup semi-final next week, and have fewer, more straightforward games left in their closing run in the league.

It was a bit difficult to take this picture: The collapsible elmar offers only f2.8 as maximum aperture and ISO400 is not much a few minutes after the sun went down. So I worked with a shutter time of 1/15s to get a correctly exposed picture. It works out marvelous with the Leica as long as the subject's not moving.
