Situated on a slight rise about 200m NW of the original extent of Manorhamilton town and separated from it by NE-SW section of the Owenbeg River. Sir Frederick Hamilton received a grant of over 5,000 acres in 1621-2 which he proceeded to increase, and by 1631 he had over 16,000 acres. He had undertaken to build a castle, which was probably not finished until 1636. In January 1642, Manorhamilton was besieged by Irish rebels under such leaders as Brian McDonogh and Owen O'Rourke or Teige O'Connor Sligo, who were encamped at Lurganboy. On January 30th they burnt the town but failed to capture the castle, and they lifted the siege on April 3rd. In the following year Hamilton used the castle as a base for raids as far afield as Sligo and Donegal. Hamilton left Ireland in 1643-4 and died in Scotland in 1647, but the castle seems to have survived until it was burnt by the earl of Clanrickard in 1652.
The castle is a two or three-storey rectangular house, although most of the third storey does not survive. There are two wings projecting on the N side which are not separated from the main house by party walls. The house is U-shaped and open to the N. The wings have a court between them, but its S wall, which would have had the original doorway, does not survive. There is a sallyport which is partly below ground level at the centre of the S wall of the house. There are four slightly rhomboid corner-towers which have three storeys at SW and SE, but those at NE and NW have five and four storeys with the use of mezzanine floors.
The house had two large transom and mullion windows in the S wall at ground and first floors, but these are either robbed or blocked and there are smaller windows, either blocked or robbed, on the E and W walls. The NE wing was probably the kitchen as its W wall at the ground floor has a large robbed fireplace. The main house was poorly provided with fireplaces with only small ones at the S end of the E and W walls and in each wing at the first floor.
Each floor of the corner towers usually has a window and two gun-loops, and some even have fireplaces. The corner towers communicated with the main house through lintelled passages, but there are no garderobes or latrines in the house.
All the quoins, except those from two angles of the corner towers, have been robbed, as has most of the dressed stonework from windows and doorways. There is a plinth all around and string-courses externally over the ground and first floors. The corner towers have three courses of banded masonry only on their outward-facing walls over the first floor.
The house is within a bawn defined by a reconstructed wall at W and remnants of the N end of the E wall. The interior is flush with the surviving top of the S wall, but there is evidence of corner towers only at SW where the W wall survives to three floors, and at SE where the foundations of a tower are visible. Elsewhere the bawn is defined by more modern walls, but there is no indication of where the original entrance may have been. Archaeological testing in the vicinity of the castle has failed to produce any related material, but an excavation inside the bawn has produced evidence of a cobbled surface in the courtyard and evidence of a basement within the castle. The castle has now been conserved, and guided tours can be had for a modest fee.
This shows the extent of the fading of the current setting figures on my BOC LD-185 welder today, but when I bought it in 1996 I wrote down the figures before it faded anymore than it had then. The figures have been put into the diagram in the previous picture to this one.
The 50 volt figures aren't too bad but the 80 volts ones are mostly unreadable now. I stopped cleaning the top of the welder some years ago to avoid removing even more information.

Malaysia has been highly regarded as a developed country, at least ever since the leadership of Tun Mahathir Mohamed. Strong & stable in economics and technological achievements while to a certain extent, has proven itself as an independent sovereign when the neighbors succumb to the IMF offerings in the previous economic turmoil, indeed the achievement of this country is to be envied by many.
The center of the achievement would be the capital city – Kuala Lumpur, where amongst the locals, there exists thousands of foreign workforce, both legal and illegal. All are here with but one aim - apart from contributing to the success and wealth of this nation – to earn a decent living for their family back in their home countries.
Sadly, unknown by many, a sub-set of this vast number of foreigners would be a group of 50 Bangladeshis. Originally being brought into the country by "an agency", they have been showered with many but still unfulfilled sweet promises. Now, they are literally living in a limbo.
Living underneath the concrete structure of a railway station, almost unseen to the eyes of the public, they simply could not care about the hygiene factors and the daily conditions they are in. The reality is, their only concern in life would be to settle an amount of USD4000 they each "owe" to "the agency" or face a brutal consequence, so brutal in fact death would be a blessing in disguise.
Without any legal documents and work permit, they are truly helpless creatures in a limbo. Their best logical options would be either to be caught by the local enforcement and shipped back to their home country where they will face a certain death by the hands of "the agency", or die here, in a foreign land, leaving nothing but traces of stain depicting a painting of their desperate struggle.
Indeed, death would be a blessing – though never a wish dare even to be thought by them, nor their loved ones back home.
To the extent employment and pay are worried, there is no demonstrated contrast in the vicinity of 1year and 2 year MBA programs. On the off chance that two year program gives you a chance to have natty gritty information of administration abilities, 11 year mba online program hones your aptitude and you have work understanding alongside that. Both the degrees are all around acknowledged and more often than not your insight and experience assume a noteworthy part in landing a position.

Regardless of the extent of the ongoing tyranny and oppression I have been forced to deal with in Greece for nearly a decade under the harshest environment, my efforts in finding Justice and Freedom for my life have not stopped and it never will until my last breath.
Hence, on December 23rd, 2022, while enduring day 140th of my 4th Hunger Strike outside the UNHCR office in Athens, I left my shelter again to reach the Indian Embassy and plead for their help in providing urgent Humanitarian aid and mediation with this UN Agency.
Although I managed to speak with two Embassy representatives and even though they said they would help, ultimately they had gotten the Police involved to take me away. This time I was held in Police Custody for 2-hours before being let go.

Every year in London there is one singular opportunity to get caffeinated in a style and to an extent that is far beyond any other. Part festival, part industry gathering and ALL coffee - The London Coffee Festival is, as far as I can tell, the biggest java palaver / caffeine powered and related event in our glorious capital. I look forward to it every year...
Founded back in 2011 and attracting a âmereâ 7,500 visitors, the festival has grown, year on year, with over 23,500 coffee aficionados, neophytes (and everything inbetween) making their way to the legendary Truman Brewery (on Brick Lane) last year. They come for many reasons, amongst these (presumably); the specialty teas, artisan foods, educational seminars, live music/DJs, and a predictably insane combination of coffee - in all its myriad and magical forms. The festival also serves as the focal point/launch for UK Coffee Week, and is the host of the Coffee Masters Competition - where 16 top notch baristas compete for the title, the fame and a £5000 cash prize.
This year saw over 250 stalls - everything from an espresso bar set up by Illy and Campari to chocolate tastings/pairings with Hotel Du Chocolat and tastings of unusual blends from independent coffee roasters such as Caravan and Origin. Asides from this, thereâs an area called Milk & Sugar dedicated to coffee related design and fashion (and restaurants). âBasicâ tickets start at £14.50 - you can quite happily spend no money, floating around purely on a haze of free espressos and cold brew (though youâll have to get in line for most of theseâ¦). That said, half of the proceeds from ticket sales go to the excellent Project Waterfall, a charity that brings sanitation and clean water to coffee-growing communities in Rwanda, Tanzania and Ethiopia.

An extremely rare World WarTwo (one of few in England) 5.25-inch Battery, consisting of three Gun Emplacements, located within the western extent of Weybourne Anti-Aircraft Training Camp, the site is centred on TG 0975 4381. The group consists of a Command Post building and three 5.25-inch Gun Emplacements, one of which was constructed in the post World War Two phase of the camp, potentially post 1953. A national plan was devised in 1944 to construct 5.25-inch batteries across Britain, although the Weybourne guns may have been installed as late as 1946, although there are no available aerial photographs of the camp in between 1941 and June 1946, so it is possible that the guns were constructed earlier. However on the 1946 aerial photographs there are obvious signs of relatively recent construction and activity around the site.
The Command Post building is centred on TG 0982 4387 and measures 55ft 9in by 19ft 8in. This building now houses the Environmental Centre operated by the University of East Anglia.
The eastern emplacement is centred on TG 0977 4381, a circular encasement, 39ft 4in in diameter, surrounds the gun and a 18ft long magazine is located to the immediate southeast. The central emplacement is centred on TG 0972 4381 and the post war gun is located at TG 0968 4382. A loop of access trackway runs to the south, which continues to the south towards the airstrip.
The site of the World War Two and post war Weybourne Anti-Aircraft Training Camp located alongside the cliffs at Weybourne to the north west of the village. The camp originally started out as a temporary summer camp for the Anti-Aircraft Division of the Territorial Army in 1935. At first the majority of the camp consisted of wooden and tented structures, although in 1937 it was decided to make the camp permanent and more fixed structures and defences were erected. The camp closed in 1959. During World War Two the camp was surrounded by a perimeter Anti-Tank Ditch and defended by a system of Gun Emplacements and Barbed Wire obstructions. The interior of the camp consisted of groups of Nissen huts and barracks and other military buildings. The cliff top to the north was covered by a line of Heavy Anti-Aircraft Guns and Batteries, Slit Trenches and Pillboxes.
RAF Weybourne was a World War Two Anti-Aircraft Establishment, ''X'' Flt, No. 1 Anti-Aircraft Co-Operation Unit were based at the station between 16th May and 14th September 1939, with ''T'' Flt, No. 1 Anti-Aircraft Co-Operation Unit there between 25th February and 29th April 1942. No. 6 Anti-Aircraft Co-Operation Unit were based there between 7th December 1942 and 30th November 1943. Associated with the Anti-Aircraft Gunnery, the station operated the De Havilland DH-82B Queen Bee target drone aircraft, a radio-controlled target tug version of the Tiger Moth II.
Although the published closure date known for this airfield relates to the World War Two airfield, the Army maintained an Anti-Aircraft Training Camp across from RAF Weybourne using Bofors 40mm Anti-Aircraft Guns linked to AA4 Mk.7 Gun-Laying Radar. When that closed in 1958 the radars were transferred to the RAF. A very small permanent detachment was maintained there using the obsolete radar into the 1980's for cross-tell training, decoy work and to extend low level coverage. In the late 1980's, after the obsolete radars were removed, trials were carried out to confirm the site's suitability for deployment of the new mobile radars that were coming into service.
A Marconi Type 91 ''Martello'' radar was moved from RAF Trimingham to Weybourne in September 1996, operated by 432 Signals Unit acting as a Ready Platform (along with RAF Hopton and RAF Trimingham) for the IUKADGE Series II (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment) Radar System controlled from the R3 Underground Control Centre at RAF Neatishead. In October 1997 the Type 91 at RAF Weybourne was de-built, replaced when the Type 93 at RAF Trimingham became operational.

This full-year graph puts 2011 sea ice extent in context. The gray line shows the 1979 to 2000 climatology, thick blue-gray indicates the 1981 to 2010 (30-year) climatology. NOAA this year switched to using the period 1981 to 2010 for their thirty-year climate comparison period
2011 year in review
Arctic sea ice extent fell to its seasonal minimum on September 9, 2011, falling just short of the record low set in September 2007, when summer weather conditions were extremely favorable for ice loss. This summer, the weather was not as extreme as 2007, so it was surprising that ice extent dropped so low. The low ice extent, along with data on ice age, suggests that the Arctic ice cover remains thin and vulnerable to summer melt.
Northern Hemisphere snow cover retreated very rapidly last spring, with record and near-record low snow cover extents in May and June despite higher-than-average winter snow extent as of February and March.

Situated on a slight rise about 200m NW of the original extent of Manorhamilton town and separated from it by NE-SW section of the Owenbeg River. Sir Frederick Hamilton received a grant of over 5,000 acres in 1621-2 which he proceeded to increase, and by 1631 he had over 16,000 acres. He had undertaken to build a castle, which was probably not finished until 1636. In January 1642, Manorhamilton was besieged by Irish rebels under such leaders as Brian McDonogh and Owen O'Rourke or Teige O'Connor Sligo, who were encamped at Lurganboy. On January 30th they burnt the town but failed to capture the castle, and they lifted the siege on April 3rd. In the following year Hamilton used the castle as a base for raids as far afield as Sligo and Donegal. Hamilton left Ireland in 1643-4 and died in Scotland in 1647, but the castle seems to have survived until it was burnt by the earl of Clanrickard in 1652.
The castle is a two or three-storey rectangular house, although most of the third storey does not survive. There are two wings projecting on the N side which are not separated from the main house by party walls. The house is U-shaped and open to the N. The wings have a court between them, but its S wall, which would have had the original doorway, does not survive. There is a sallyport which is partly below ground level at the centre of the S wall of the house. There are four slightly rhomboid corner-towers which have three storeys at SW and SE, but those at NE and NW have five and four storeys with the use of mezzanine floors.
The house had two large transom and mullion windows in the S wall at ground and first floors, but these are either robbed or blocked and there are smaller windows, either blocked or robbed, on the E and W walls. The NE wing was probably the kitchen as its W wall at the ground floor has a large robbed fireplace. The main house was poorly provided with fireplaces with only small ones at the S end of the E and W walls and in each wing at the first floor.
Each floor of the corner towers usually has a window and two gun-loops, and some even have fireplaces. The corner towers communicated with the main house through lintelled passages, but there are no garderobes or latrines in the house.
All the quoins, except those from two angles of the corner towers, have been robbed, as has most of the dressed stonework from windows and doorways. There is a plinth all around and string-courses externally over the ground and first floors. The corner towers have three courses of banded masonry only on their outward-facing walls over the first floor.
The house is within a bawn defined by a reconstructed wall at W and remnants of the N end of the E wall. The interior is flush with the surviving top of the S wall, but there is evidence of corner towers only at SW where the W wall survives to three floors, and at SE where the foundations of a tower are visible. Elsewhere the bawn is defined by more modern walls, but there is no indication of where the original entrance may have been. Archaeological testing in the vicinity of the castle has failed to produce any related material, but an excavation inside the bawn has produced evidence of a cobbled surface in the courtyard and evidence of a basement within the castle. The castle has now been conserved, and guided tours can be had for a modest fee.
The extent of ozone depletion for any given period depends on complex interaction between chemical and climatic factors such as temperature and wind. The unusually high levels of depletion in 1988, 1993 and 2002 were due to early warming of the polar stratosphere caused by air disturbances originating in mid-latitudes, rather than by major changes in the amount of reactive chlorine and bromine in the Antarctic stratosphere.

To some extent I have ignored Harold's Cross except for my visits to Mount Jerome Cemetery.
While travelling on the 16 bus today I overheard a group of young American visitors saying that Harold's Cross and nearby was the cool area of Dublin as it is now a hotspot for cafes and restaurants and they also mentioned the Harold's Cross Festival which includes everything from table quizzes to writing workshops and much to do in Harold's Cross Park. As a result of this conversation I decide to get off the bus and visit the park ... I always carry a very small Sony RX0 camera in my pocket.
This 1.25 hectare (3 acres) park was developed in 1894 by the Rathmines / Rathgar Commissioners and officially opened on May 1st 1894. The site of the park was used as commonage from medieval times. Designed by William Sheppard and Sons, “specialists in new parks and dripping pools” and costing £700 to construct, the park is essentially Victorian with a mixture of formal and natural styles. Dublin City Council took over the park in 1934 and has developed flower gardens and a play area while retaining the original design.
There are historical signs in the park explaining the parks history.

HOLSTEIN CATTLE AND MODERN DAIRY BARNS, WISCONSIN
The extent of the dairy industry in Wisconsin is suggested by this scene. Barn after barn has been built on the countless dairy farms to house the growing herds of cows.
Wisconsin stands first of all the states in the United States in its dairy products. New York ranks second. The yearly value of the dairy products of Wisconsin is almost $100,000,000. Ten years ago it was only half this amount. The center of the dairying industry is in the southeastern part of the state. Creameries, condenseries, and cheese factories are counted by the hundreds. There are more than 3,000 cheese factories in the state.
Wisconsin gave us the well known Babcock test. It was originated by Professor Babcock of the University of Wisconsin. By it one can tell the exact amount of butter fat in a given amount of milk. Creameries now buy milk on the "butter fat” basis. A dairyman by this test can tell which cows are most profitable. Some pay good returns; others do not give enough milk to pay for feed and care.
All the dairy breeds of cattle are common in Wisconsin. The Holstein-Friesians, such as are shown here, are favored by many dairymen for several reasons. They are a strong, thrifty cattle. Even though the milk of the Holstein is not rich in butter fat, the quantity each cow produces more than makes up for such a loss. Besides, the cattle are good feeders. They are, therefore, a valuable beef cattle as well as dairy cattle.
You can note the markings of the breed. They are black and white bodied, and usually have white legs. Observe the variety of coloring on their bodies. Contrast this breed of cattle with Jerseys.
In the city of Vigo and to be exact there is a real passion for cruising and to a lesser extent to ships in general, there are also other passion for sailing ships to warships, and there are also passionate in new construction of ships and are attentive to her sea trials for the first few shots finish them very often to say that he did a pretty picture.
Here I present a series of photographs of many people who show up to see the cruise both on arrival and departure, are very attentive to the details of the maneuvers, as the Captains manage these mega cruise ships to undock these behemoths very similar volume and spring technology, and while the maneuver begins heard some honking huge that is the way to say goodbye is three honks, and people almost applauds and salutes the passage that good weather is on deck and answer our greetings also waving arms and some photographs by rigor, like a family farewell as before emigrating to American soil.
While the kids roam happy and oblivious to the bustle of chambers with clips of the shots and movements of the tripod position it to improve the firing position like a photo contest, this privileged site that the Amigos dos Vigo cruceiros we call "the Office" is a fictitious name we put us to discuss the whole issue of entry and exit times cruise and our meetings to discuss the next arrivals.

Yesterday is gone, yet this day recalls,
There is no choice for fateful ways.
When worlds were stopped, inertia played the game,
Forward thrown, unsteady days, ricochet, and rebound!
Now more than hundreds past, but still they come,
Time is not straight, in all directions run,
An image comes, ‘conscience’ an internal fight,
Do I want to tell wrong from right?
The blade so Sharpe, perfection made, this ‘is’ art.
Now upon the ice we stand, and the sun is rising!
How to move from this undesired place,
Take the light, this gift is his, and it shows the way.
Taken then, direction without choice, what will it bring?
Does the knowledge rest in the pages of unread books?
Guide me from this edge, in trust you will not fall,
But tread upon a shore where time itself evaporates…

Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front secures 499 out of 547 seats, with allied parties winning a further 35
Ethiopia's ruling party and its allies won 99.6% of parliamentary seats in Sunday's election, according to preliminary results, raising serious questions over the country's democratic direction.
The Ethiopian national electoral board announced today that the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) – the party of the prime minister, Meles Zenawi – had secured 499 out of the 547 seats, with allied parties winning a further 35.
Opposition candidates won just two seats. Results from 11 constituencies are still outstanding.
The result is a significant reversal of the 2005 poll, when the opposition made large gains despite questions over the fairness of the vote.
The subsequent imprisonment or exile of opposition leaders, coupled with a curb on basic freedoms, meant Sunday's triumph for the ruling party, though not its scale, had been expected.
The victory means Meles will have been in power in Africa's second-most populous country for almost 25 years by the time of the next election.
Addressing a crowd of tens of thousands from behind a bulletproof screen in the capital, Addis Ababa, he warned that opposition protests of the sort that saw 200 people killed – mostly by security forces – after the 2005 election would not be tolerated.
