Given our ongoing living situation and delayed house closing, ALL of our belongings, including all of Jack's toys have been in storage for two months. TWO long months.

 

I'm so grateful for the various toys that I was able to bring the kid who has been so, so resilient through all of this. So, for that, thank you to the BlogHer sponsors and private event sponsors for making my kid smile :)

Given the long-suffering look Dweez affected moments after I took this picture, I suspect he was not the instigator of this little cosy-up.

Another grainy snapshot which has been given an OTT Edit! ;-)

I shot this picture in my kitchen after dinner, when some evil lil dude slunk in having stolen Yoda's lightsabre.

 

The lighting came from available tungsten so I threw the aperture wide at f~2 to make sure I could get the shot. Again a high ISO caused the horrid digital grain which is so difficult to recover. I am starting to seriously hanker for some new camera gear...

 

Anyhow, today's two impromptu photo subjects both came out a bit crappy - the other thing being a fried egg face in a pan!

 

Tomorrow though, I MUST try harder. I have some lighting kit and a strobe on loan, so all need now is a subject!

August 25, 2018. Boston, MA.

Housing activists and concerned citizens organized by City Life/Vida Urbana rallied at Our Lady Guild House (OLGH), a rooming house in the Fenway.

OLGH is owned by an order of Catholic nuns called Daughters of Mary of the Immaculate Conception. It was originally part of the order's mission to create homes for single women, especially mature women. About 5 years ago, the mission changed. Older women were told they had to get out.

In the last year, no-fault evictions began and move-out deadlines were given. The OLGH management company, Marc Roos Realty, started advertising on their web site that they only want to rent to women age 18 to 50 years old. In response to the evictions and the apparently clear age discrimination, residents are organized and defending themselves in court.

Two of the women face forcible removal in the first week of September. Another is in the middle of an eviction case. Five or more women expect a court summons at any moment. City Life/Vida Urbana and Fenway CDC are pledging resistance.

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”.

Bangor bounce back against Ballymoney

by Roger Corbett

Putting the disappointment of last week’s defeat at Instonians behind them, Bangor produced a solid performance at home to beat Ballymoney by 20-13.

This was going to be an interesting and important fixture given the nature of Bangor’s defeat against Instonians and Ballymoney’s win at Portadown last weekend. Although at different ends of the league, the earlier meeting at Kilraughts Road was a dogged affair, with Bangor only managing to get on top within the closing stages of the game. Starting as favourites for this fixture, Bangor started brightly, but after 23 minutes of missed opportunities by Bangor, it was Ballymoney who started the scoring with a penalty. This was the spur the home side needed, and just 5 minutes later Mike Aspley, making a welcome return from injury, made a great run through the centre before passing to Mark Widdowson on the left wing. Mark’s clever chip over the advancing defence was caught cleanly and then carried over for an unconverted try, and putting Bangor ahead by 5-3.

Ballymoney returned to the attack and pushed Bangor back into their own twenty two. Although on the back foot, Bangor secured their scrum and quickly broke out of defence. It was Aspley again who made the decisive break before passing to Davy Charles on the right wing. Although chased down by the Ballymoney winger, Charles shrugged off the tackle to score under the posts, which Widdowson subsequently converted, for a half time lead of 12-3.

Bangor looked good for their two tries so far, but if their off-loads when tackled and handling in general had been more controlled, there is every chance they could have secured a 4-try bonus point by half this stage. Hopes were therefore high that they would settle quickly in the second half and steadily work towards this.

Unfortunately, from the opening kick-off by Ballymoney, Bangor knocked the ball on, giving the visitors an attacking scrum inside Bangor’s twenty two. However, the forwards had proved strong so far, and were causing problems for their opponents. On this occasion, a concerted push overpowered the Ballymoney pack, and Bangor were able to turn the ball over, winning a penalty in the process. With this initial panic over, Bangor built good attacking platforms but, just like in the first half, their passing and handling fell short at crucial moments and more scoring chances went begging. Bangor’s frustration was compounded after just 8 minutes when a Ballymoney penalty was kicked to touch, deep inside their opponent’s twenty two. From the resulting line-out, the Ballymoney forwards produced a driving maul that Bangor were unable to stop, resulting in a try, which was also converted, narrowing the score to 12-10.

Once again, it looked like Ballymoney weren’t going to lie down. The touchline spectators may have been getting a little nervous, but the Bangor men stuck to the task and after a further 13 minutes were rewarded with another good score. From another secure Bangor scrum in their own half, Curtis Stewart picked up at number eight and barged his way through the immediate Ballymoney defence. Having broken through the line, he passed to Charles on his right. Once again Charles sprinted off down the touchline, and again was pursued by his opposite number. This time the tackle was more effective, but Charles’ pace was enough to see him squeeze over in the corner for his second try. Widdowson’s conversion wide, but the lead was now a little more comfortable at 17-10.

By now, Bangor’s forwards were dominating the scrums and, having won a penalty inside Ballymoney’s twenty two, and in front of the posts, it may have crossed captain Jamie Clegg’s mind to go for another scrum which would hopefully build a good platform to go for their bonus point try. However at this stage in the game, and with only a converted try between the two sides, Clegg wisely opted for the kick at goal, which Widdowson successfully converted, stretching the lead to 20-10 and denying the visitors a losing bonus point.

From the restart, Bangor repeated their earlier mistake by knocking the ball on again. Further mistakes shortly afterwards gave Ballymoney a penalty which they successfully kicked, bring the score back to 20-13, and restoring their losing bonus point.

As the game entered its final minutes, Bangor looked strong and were pressing forward again. However, more knock-ons saw another opportunity go begging and, before they could apply more pressure to the now-tiring Ballymoney scrum, the referee blew for full time. Bangor will be thankful to have returned to winning ways, and without any serious injury concerns. However, the poor display in basic ball-handling skills was costly as it undoubtedly denied them a valuable bonus point.

Next week sees Bangor travel to Armagh to play their 2nds in the Towns Cup. This will certainly be a stern test but will also help to prepare for Bangor’s biggest game in recent years – the final of the All Ireland Junior Cup against Dundalk the following week. With Bangor’s 2nds and 3rds performing well and sitting at or near the top of their respective leagues, and also still in cup competitions, these are exciting times at Upritchard Park.
