This is a photograph from the 7th annual Longwood Village 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were held in Longwood Village, Longwood, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 23rd October 2016 at 11:00. The races are held annually to support the development of the local GAA club while also supporting local charities. The race has support from Trim AC which sees the race have full AAI premit status. These races have grown steadily over the years and this year almost 400 participants to part in the two races. This is an impressive statistic given that a very large number of local runners will be preparing for the Dublin City marathon 7 days from now. However both races provide marathon runners and all other runners, joggers and walkers with an ideal opportunity to race on a very fair course in a beautiful rural setting. Barry Clarke of Longwood GAA and Trim AC and his very large group of volunteers deserve the highest of praise for the very high standard of organisation immediately apparent to anyone taking part in the race. Overall the whole day was a great success with the hard work put in by the organising committee ensuring that participants enjoyed their race experience. Both routes were accurately measured, kilometer points clearly marked, junctions well stewarded, and electronic timing provided. The event provided many local runners, joggers, fun runners and walkers with a local event to support whilst at the same time providing runners preparing for events such as the Dublin marathon with an opportunity to race a short, fast, distance in the lead up to marathon day. The GAA club provided excellent stewarding and traffic management all around the course. The race had a professional feel to it and it is sure to grow next year given the very positive feedback from many of the participants today. The weather didn't exactly play ball with some heavy showers of rain for both races. However this didn't do anything to dampen the atmosphere of the race.
We have an extensive set of photographs from all of the races today in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157672030705623

Longwood is a small village in South East Co. Meath and is close to the town of Enfield with access to the M4 Motorway. The weather was almost perfect for road running. A beautiful crisp autumn morning with dry cool conditions. 5KM Course: The 5KM started in Longwood village. Runners then took a left turn in the Village down St. Oliver's Road. This straight section of road brings runners to a left turn onto a very well maintained boreen road for less than one kilometer. The race then emerges and joins with the 10KM at Stoneyford where the runners take a left and then another left before arriving back at the finish line in Longwood GAA club. Overall this is a very fast and flat 5KM with no hills to speak of.
10KM Course: The 10KM event begins in Longwood Village outside Dargan's Pub and proceeds westward out of the village. There are some interesting points along this part of the course. At the 2KM point the runners will run under the double bridges - an aquaduct for the Royal Canal and a bridge carrying the Dublin Sligo Railway line. The race then enters county Kildare just before the 3km and after taking a right turn at the four-cross roads known locally as Lally's Cross it returns to County Meath on top of the River Boyne Bridge (Ashfield Bridge) which forms the county boundary. The race follows a straight road for the next 2KM until runners encounter Blackshade bridge which is the toughest climb on the route. As a point of interest Blackshade bridge brings runners back over the Royal Canal and the Railway line. The race then crosses the River Boyne again at Stoneyford before taking a right which will bring runners on a testing two kilometer stretch with some short hills. The 10KM course then joins with the 5Km course for the final 1.5KM back to Longwood GAA club for the finish.

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!

Given abundant rainfall and warm sun, nearly everything grows here. You can literally eat the snap green beans right off the stalk.
Duke Givens is years into and still passionate about an interesting, community-oriented photography project. From what I saw, he gets his subjects to let him into their lives for intimate portraits. (Unfortunately my snapshot was not well-timed and is not too flattering!)

Given that there's not a day in the office without serious phone or internet issues I started wondering if we might need this guy here!
Today Worcester was given the honour of a march through the city by the Grenadier Guards. After a service at the Cathedral the 40-strong regimental band led 100 guardsmen plus some former soldiers on a march through the centre or Worcester.
The parade contained about 300 bandsmen, guards and former soldiers and they were marching to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the regiment. The Grenadiers were also exercising their freedom of the city which was granted in 1999.
The celebrations of the anniversary are taking place in only four cities which are Birmingham, Manchester, Bruges (yes that's in Belgium) and Worcester. The Grenadier Guards was established in Bruges as part of the exiled King Charles II's bodyguard.

The F-86L was the designation given to late-1950s conversions of existing USAF F-86Ds to use the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) datalink system.
The SAGE system was developed during the early 1950s by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory. It was based on the use of a large, high-speed ground-based computer to handle and coordinate air surveillance data from various ground radar installations. This information was transmitted in real-time to a special data receiver aboard the interceptor, and an on-board system converted this data into heading, speed, altitude, target bearing, and range information that would be used to guide the pilot in his interception. No voice instructions were used, and the interceptor was automatically positioned for a lead-collision attack with its own E-4 fire control system.
In the mid 1950s, it was decided to adapt the F-86D to the new SAGE system, and in 1956, 2192 conversion kits were ordered for the F-86Ds of the Air Defense Command (ADC). Under a project code-named Project Follow-On, starting in May of 1956, certain low-time F-86D interceptors were withdrawn one-by-one from service and fitted with the upgrade. This work was done at North American plants in Fresno and Inglewood, California. Following the upgrade, they were redesignated F-86L. All F-86L block designations were changed to reflect their original F-86D block numbers. The F-86D-10 to F-86D-45 became F-86L-11 to F-86L-46, but blocks 50, 55, and 60 just changed the type from D to L, that is, the F-86D-50 became F-86L-50.
When F-86Ds were upgraded to the F-86L configuration, an AN/ARR-39 datalink receiver was fitted, which had a blade-like antenna sticking out of the fuselage just forward of and below the starboard wing. The AN/ARC-27 command radio of the F-86D was replaced by an AN/ARC-34 set. An AN/APX-25 identification radar was added, and a new AN/ARN-31 glide slope receiver was provided.
All Follow-On aircraft were brought up to F-86D-45 standards before starting with the electronics upgrades, including the installation of the drag chute in the tail. In the F-86L, two protruding cooling air intakes were added to the fuselage sides just aft of the wing, replacing the older recessed cooling ducts. The same J47-GE-33 or J47-GE-17B engine of the F-86D was retained, but the F-86L was fitted with the F-86F-40 wing, with twelve-inch wingtip extensions and "6-3" leading edge extensions with slats. The wingspan and wing area were 39.1 feet and 313.37 square feet respectively. The new wing improved the handing ability and provided better turning at high altitudes. The reconditioned F-86Ls retained the armament of twenty-four rockets of the F-86D.
The first flight took place on December 27, 1955. That particular aircraft had just the SAGE equipment installed, and the first conversion incorporating all of the Follow-On changes did not fly until May of 1956. A total of 981 F-86Ds were modified to the F-86L configuration. After conversion in 1956-57, F-86Ls were issued to most of the ADC wings that were using the F-86D. First to receive the F-86L was the 317th FIS at McChord AFB, which first received the planes in late November of 1956. The service of the F-86L with the ADC was destined to be quite brief, since by the time the last F-86L conversion was delivered, the type was already being phased out in favor of the Convair F-102A and F-106A delta-winged interceptors. The last F-86Ls left ADC service by 1960.
As F-102A and F-106A interceptors became available to the ADC, the F-86Ls were transferred to Air National Guard units beginning in late 1957. The first ANG squadron to receive the F-86L was the 108th, based at O'Hare Field in Chicago. The following ANG squadrons got F-86Ls: 108, 111, 124, 127, 128, 133, 146, 147, 151, 156, 156, 158, 159, 173, 181, 182, 185, 187, 190, 191, 192, 194, 197, and 199.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, six ANG F-86L squadrons were on alert. The last F-86Ls were withdrawn from ANG service during the summer of 1965.
In 1964, seventeen F-86Ls were supplied to the Royal Thai Air Force. So far as I am aware, Thailand was the only foreign user of the F-86L. They served with No. 12 Squadron at Don Maung Airport until they were finally retired in 1976.
Specification of the F-86L:
Engine: One General Electric J47-GE-33, 5550 lb.st. dry, 7650 lb.st with afterburner. Performance: Maximum speed: 693 mph at sea level, 616 mph at 40,000 feet. Initial climb rate was 12,200 feet per minute, and service ceiling was 49,600 feet. Dimensions: wingspan 39 feet 1 inch, length 40 feet 3 inches, height 15 feet, wing area 313 square feet. Weights: 13,822 pounds empty, 18,484 pounds gross.

Well, I was afraid this day would come. Not the day that I missed a photo of the day for Project365, because I've done that before. But today is the day that I bow my head in shame of admission that I am throwing in the towel for Project365 for year 2010. Too much and too little has been going on. Hey, at least I got one year in. And what a year last year was.

The rose was given to me by my husband, one of a bouquet for our 40th wedding anniversary. The embroidery was created by me especially for the occasion, which was on December 7th last. We were joined by our family for a lovely meal on the day. It was lovely, can't believe its been 40 years!
The jigsaw was given to the owner by an old lady who didn't want to throw the jigsaw away as her family had instructed her to. The jigsaw was painted with watercolour and had a full size linen guide picture - used to make the two replacement pieces. Linda Hammas dated it as c1840, by the artist JR Barfoot, who was rather secretive about his side-line in jigsaw manufacture. It is a relatively early non-map jigsaw.
Its dark but fascinating wooden box can be seen in another photo. 'The Farm Yard' has about 35-40pc and is cut with a simple 'interlocking' frame and push-fit centre.
The image shows a very crowded farm yard, full of incident surrounded by thatched buildings with a landscape beyond. Labourers work on a hay wain and feed cattle, women fill a pail and feed chickens, there are bee hives, poultry and birds of all kinds, pigs cattle, horses and cows, and most surprisingly a peacock on the open shed roof.
We have been given an assignment / challenge by Jonathan when we arrived (at the Mon Tribe/Village) in Sangklaburi, Thailand..
The assignment was to create a story focusing on the daily activities of the Mon village people, wherein the starting point of the story should be the bridge, which connects the Mon Village to the township of Sangklaburi..
We only have to choose five photos.. And those five photos should have a travel magazine 'quality'..
It was a cool assignment, but I had a hard time creating a story line.. So I thought 'what the heck, I could document whatever things that I see along this bridge'..
I took a couple of shots of the Mon people passing and walking along the bridge.. strangely, most of my shots were only their feet and it made me excited.. i think i already have a strange story!!
This photo was taken at the Mon Village, Sangklaburi, Thailand
-----------------------------------------------------
To anyone who's interested of his photography styles, tips, techniques and his photojournalism/journalism stories, book a workshop with him.. It's worthwhile!! Trust me! I've learned a lot from his workshop! Do visit Jonathan's Photography School Asia..

The Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) is also known as the Cobra moth due to the wing tips resembling that of a cobras head, thought to be a way of warding off predators.
They have up to a ten inch wingspan and are found in Asia from India to the Philippines and south to Indonesia. It belongs to the family Saturniidae, or giant silkworm moths, which has a worldwide distribution and the females are larger and heavier than the males. It's short lifespan is between one and two weeks.

Lowestoft’s third crossing officially named as project given final green light.
Suffolk County Council’s Cabinet has unanimously approved the building of the Lake Lothing Third Crossing in Lowestoft [25 August 2020], now officially named as the Gull Wing by children from Somerleyton Primary School.
Somerleyton Primary School pupils, including Jack and Hayden (pictured) thought up the name, Gull Wing. Headteacher, Louise Spall, explains their thinking behind it:
“The children wanted to come up with a name which reflected living by the seaside, but they also thought that the shape of bridge was really interesting. The V-shape of the new bridge looks like a bird’s wings and, of course, what seaside town is complete without gulls!
“They are really excited that their name is going to be part of Lowestoft’s history, it is something they can be proud of and tell their children in years to come.”

During the speech given on 14 May at the ceremony to celebrate Europe day, in the presence of Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman and Mayor of Vinnytsia Serhiy Morhunov, the Vice-President of the Congress praised the efforts made by the City of Vinnytsia in order to improve living conditions of citizens, to fight corruption and promote higher education of young people. She said these results were made possible by a dynamic and determined municipal policy within a peaceful Europe. She stated that Europe day symbolises the reconciliation between people after the Second World War and celebrates peace and unity in Europe. “We should never forget that it is the process of European construction that has allowed us to make peace with the past and to live without any major conflict since then” she underlined. Mentioning the crisis that have rocked European countries for several years – including the return of war in some parts of Europe and in Ukraine in particular – she said” we must find again the path towards political will and solidarity, to make our societies more prosperous and more inclusive”. Quoting the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Gudrun Mosler-Törnström concluded that “Ukraine has much work ahead of it and Europe is here to help”.

Private W. Reynolds (top right), 1st Grenadier Guards, died in October in Germany. He was wounded and taken a prisoner in October, 1914, and was looking forward to coming home, when he was taken with fever, and never recovered. Being a Reservist he was recalled to the colours in August, 1914. Previous to being called up he was employed at the Culwell Works, Heath Town.
Private Thomas Cartwright (top left) was killed in action. He enlisted on August 30th, 1914, and went to France on July 14th, 1915. He had two cousins killed at the front and one wounded. He also had three brothers who have enlisted under Lord Derby's scheme. The oldest (Arthur) went to enlist at the same time as his brother Tom, but was rejected. The other brothers are George and Isaiah, both of whom are married. Deceased was a well-known footballer. He had two or three medals which he won whilst playing for Britannia Vics; he also helped the reserves to win the Churchfield Cup. He was well-known to all in the Hill Top district.
Private Isaiah Wantling (middle right), of Willenhall, died on August 25th last at the 10th Casualty Clearing Station, France, from wounds received in action. The late soldier had served 11 years in the Special Reserve Militia, and enlisted in the 8th South Staffords on August 25th, 1914, just one year previous to his death, and had gained high marks for good shooting. Prior to his enlistement he was employed at a roller mill at Darlaston. He was 36 years of age, and leaves a widow and young family to mourn his loss.
Private Thomas Clinton (middle, left), whose parents reside at the Holly Bush Cottage, Ebstree, near Wolverhampton, has given his life for King and country. He enlisted in the West Yorkshire Regiment at the outbreak of the war, afterwards being drafted into the Royal Engineers. Private Clinton was killed on his 27th birthday, and was married on June 23rd of this year before proceeding to the front. The deceased soldier had already lost two cousins in the war. Prior to joining the Army Private Clinton was employed as a foreman gardener at Becca Hall, Aberford.
Private James Callaghan (bottom right), of Wade's passage, Tipton, was killed in France on November 5th. Callaghan, who was only seventeen years of age, joined the 1st South Staffords nearly twelve months ago, but after the battle of Loos he transferred to the Royal Engineers.

Private Alfred Cheeseman (19) (bottom left), 1/6th South Staffords, has died from wounds. He was called up at the general mobilisation, and had been with his regiment ever since. He was employed by Messrs. J. Evans and Sons, pump manufacturers, Heath Town. He was a member of Heath Town Church Choir, and was educated at St Faith's School, Park Village. Several boys from this school are now serving, but A. Cheeseman is the first of them to make the supreme sacrifice. Deceased's home was at 36, Bank street, Park Village. He was a member of the machine gun section. An officer, writing to Private Cheeseman's father, said deceased was very popular with his comrades, and a most capable member of the section.
Debbie's Perfect Day in Orange County We'd head out to Laguna Beach for breakfast at friendly local spot White House (they have killer omelets). Then we'd drive up to Top of the World for gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island, and afterward spend the day at Treasure Island

Given that I was so close to him, I have no idea how he did not know I was taking his picture. So, this is my grandfather. He is one of the greatest men I know. Conversely, he is one of the most insufferable SOBs out there! He is quite a combination.
There is nothing he would not do for you, or anyone you know. He is a genius with anything mechanical. If there is something he does not know about, he will look it up, and figure it out very quickly.
Everyone who knows him loves him and we all roll our eyes when he gets into one of his moods, and we mutter, 'That's just Pa, you know how he is'.
If I can ever amount to be half the man he is, I will consider myself lucky.

His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere”

Here's Bailey's story:
Given from one home to another...the 2nd abandoned her...she must've been on her own for awhile, hungry, lonely, confused, wandering back roads, and meadows.
One morning my Dad stepped outside and there she was...thin, covered in burrs, and as sweet & friendly as any dog could ever be.
Her story was made clear when my Dad called the vet on her tag. Her original owner was contacted and given my Dad's address. She came and told Dad she'd had to give Bailey up because of her new husband. She called the "new owners" from my Dad's backyard and asked them how Bailey was doing...they said "fine".
Needless to say...Bailey still needed a home. I was there when woman had arrived and all I could say to all this was: Bailey already chose a great home. My Dad had just retired, my Mom rarely let him keep any dog he came home with, and this seemed like the perfect solution for everyone...even my Mom couldn't deny that after all that dog had been through...she deserved a good home.
And so here she is...about 5 years later...and Bailey is still the perfect dog.
UPDATE:
This past Fall 2008 my Dad had a heart attack, open heart surgery, a small stroke, more surgery and was in the hospital for weeks...he is still recovering.
Anytime he'd leave town and I'd dog-sit...she'd get sadder & sadder the longer he was away. She'd eventually not eat or want to go outside at all. Then she'd be thrilled to see him return & be back to normal.
She'd had her own small stroke about a year ago. We thought she'd need to be 'put to sleep' because she was unable to walk at all. We all said our goodbyes before my Dad took her to the vet. Imagine our surprise when he returned WITH her---walking! The vet had given her a shot and she was fine--stiff but fine...and happy :)
Bailey was very sad while my Dad was hospitalized... She grew sadder & sadder. My Mom & I were running back & forth to the hospital...hardly home for long at all. Soon Bailey wasn't eating & didn't want to go outside... she just seemed to be sad...and waiting....waiting for my Dad to come home.
Bailey died while my Dad was in the hospital.
There is nothing harder than telling a man that his dog has died...when he wasn't there to say 'goodbye' or even able to bury her himself.
She touched us all.
She will be so very missed.
This is a photograph from the 7th annual Longwood Village 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were held in Longwood Village, Longwood, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 23rd October 2016 at 11:00. The races are held annually to support the development of the local GAA club while also supporting local charities. The race has support from Trim AC which sees the race have full AAI premit status. These races have grown steadily over the years and this year almost 400 participants to part in the two races. This is an impressive statistic given that a very large number of local runners will be preparing for the Dublin City marathon 7 days from now. However both races provide marathon runners and all other runners, joggers and walkers with an ideal opportunity to race on a very fair course in a beautiful rural setting. Barry Clarke of Longwood GAA and Trim AC and his very large group of volunteers deserve the highest of praise for the very high standard of organisation immediately apparent to anyone taking part in the race. Overall the whole day was a great success with the hard work put in by the organising committee ensuring that participants enjoyed their race experience. Both routes were accurately measured, kilometer points clearly marked, junctions well stewarded, and electronic timing provided. The event provided many local runners, joggers, fun runners and walkers with a local event to support whilst at the same time providing runners preparing for events such as the Dublin marathon with an opportunity to race a short, fast, distance in the lead up to marathon day. The GAA club provided excellent stewarding and traffic management all around the course. The race had a professional feel to it and it is sure to grow next year given the very positive feedback from many of the participants today. The weather didn't exactly play ball with some heavy showers of rain for both races. However this didn't do anything to dampen the atmosphere of the race.
We have an extensive set of photographs from all of the races today in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157672030705623

Longwood is a small village in South East Co. Meath and is close to the town of Enfield with access to the M4 Motorway. The weather was almost perfect for road running. A beautiful crisp autumn morning with dry cool conditions. 5KM Course: The 5KM started in Longwood village. Runners then took a left turn in the Village down St. Oliver's Road. This straight section of road brings runners to a left turn onto a very well maintained boreen road for less than one kilometer. The race then emerges and joins with the 10KM at Stoneyford where the runners take a left and then another left before arriving back at the finish line in Longwood GAA club. Overall this is a very fast and flat 5KM with no hills to speak of.
10KM Course: The 10KM event begins in Longwood Village outside Dargan's Pub and proceeds westward out of the village. There are some interesting points along this part of the course. At the 2KM point the runners will run under the double bridges - an aquaduct for the Royal Canal and a bridge carrying the Dublin Sligo Railway line. The race then enters county Kildare just before the 3km and after taking a right turn at the four-cross roads known locally as Lally's Cross it returns to County Meath on top of the River Boyne Bridge (Ashfield Bridge) which forms the county boundary. The race follows a straight road for the next 2KM until runners encounter Blackshade bridge which is the toughest climb on the route. As a point of interest Blackshade bridge brings runners back over the Royal Canal and the Railway line. The race then crosses the River Boyne again at Stoneyford before taking a right which will bring runners on a testing two kilometer stretch with some short hills. The 10KM course then joins with the 5Km course for the final 1.5KM back to Longwood GAA club for the finish.

The explaination is very simple.

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

Ocean Plus passengers are given a key / pass to gain entry through doors on either side of the ship. But half way through the sailing one door simply remained open all of the time.
Photos of Condor Liberation’s maiden passenger voyage from Poole to Guernsey and Jersey on Friday March 27 2015. The new £50m fast ferry is over twice the size of those it replaces and is, obviously, an improvement in terms of a more modern feel on board, including the car decks. But the Liberation’s opening weekend of service turned out to be rather more dramatic than anticipated.
Friday’s first sailing departed Poole some 30 minutes late and arrived in St Helier, Jersey 80 minutes late. There was some sort of issue as Liberation was preparing to depart from St Peter Port in Guernsey which appeared to add to the already delayed journey. A loud crash was heard at the stern of the ship docked to the ramp as quayside staff seemed to wrangle with a jib of some kind - and another worker appeared to make calls about a taught rope on a bollard. Perhaps those more expert than me can look at those pics and shed some light on what was going on? But all was eventually sorted out and we left for Jersey.
However the next day (Saturday) on Liberation’s second passenger sailing, she unfortunately had an argument with the jetty at St Peter Port. Strong winds resulted in a collision. Although described as “minor damage” to the ferry, Liberation was taken out of service and Jersey-bound passengers on that second sailing had to later transfer to conventional ferry Commodore Clipper to take them on to St Helier.
As things turned out, Liberation had to be returned to Poole for repairs and was taken out of service for a week. So at the time of posting this - April 2 - the relatively small number of passengers left on Liberation after the Guernsey disembarkations on Friday maiden passenger voyage are still the first and only paying customers to have made the trip on Liberation all the way to Jersey. The ship is due back in service on April 4 and I wish Condor and all their staff well. (Update: Liberation finally returned to service on Sunday April 5 after wet weather delayed the final pieces of welding work)
The purpose of posting most of these photos is to both illustrate what the Condor Liberation looks like from a paying customer’s point of view and also to give those yet to travel on her an idea of what to expect. Check out individual captions for info on facilities, the “ride” experience in various sections and more.
Given FDA’s new guidance on risk‐based monitoring(RBM), there has been a lot of interest on identifying critical data points, drafting RBM plans, and executing RBM. TransCelerate, which is a consortium of biopharmaceutical industry personnel, issued a position paper to assist biopharmaceutical Sponsors/CROs with defining RBM activities; nonetheless, due to the level of subjectivity in clinical trials, clinical operations personnel seem to exhibit a level of confusion, particularly around interpreting risk and executing centralized monitoring.
I thought that I would finish the edging but there are pieces missing. However I've enjoyed doing the rest of the puzzle. I have no box so I've done some googling and found this '1995 Waddingtons 1000 Pieces Jigsaw - Old Manor Farm by Gordon Lees.'

In July 2014, Burnaby Public Library offered a series of creative workshops just for teens. These workshops were delivered by a series of talented guest instructors and attended by extremely talented teens! This series of workshops were given in memory of Julia Nelson, our late Teen Services Librarian, who inspired us all with her vivacity and courage.

I've been given those by my mom and they unfortunatly are too long. Any other family member which it could fit don't like the color. ( But I do! ) You can see the length on the picture.
They are (probably) made out of acrylic yarn. I say so because I've washed them in case they would shrink to my size (I have very little feet!) But they did not. And they are not itchy as well.
