Remembrance Sunday, 8 November 2015

In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.

Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.

The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by Queen Elizabeth II, principal members of the Royal Family normally including the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of York, the Princess Royal, the Earl of Wessex and the Duke of Kent, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.

The parade consists mainly of an extensive march past by veterans, with military bands playing music following the list of the Traditional Music of Remembrance.

Other members of the British Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.

From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.

Each year, the music at the National Ceremony of Remembrance remains the same, following a programme finalised in 1930:

Rule, Britannia! by Thomas Arne

Heart of Oak by William Boyce

The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore

Men of Harlech

The Skye Boat Song

Isle of Beauty by Thomas Haynes Bayly

David of the White Rock

Oft in the Stilly Night by John Stevenson

Flowers of the Forest

Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar

Dido's lament by Henry Purcell

O Valiant Hearts by Charles Harris

Solemn Melody by Walford Davies

Last Post – a bugle call

Beethoven's Funeral March No. 1, by Johann Heinrich Walch

O God, Our Help in Ages Past – words by Isaac Watts, music by William Croft

Reveille – a bugle call

God Save The Queen

Other pieces of music are then played during the march past and wreath laying by veterans, starting with Trumpet Voluntary and followed by It's A Long Way To Tipperary, the marching song of the Connaught Rangers, a famous British Army Irish Regiment of long ago.

The following is complied from press reports on 8 November 2015:

"The nation paid silent respect to the country's war dead today in a Remembrance Sunday service. Leading the nation in remembrance, as ever, was the Queen, who first laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in 1945 and has done so every year since, except on the four occasions when she was overseas.

Dressed in her customary all-black ensemble with a clutch of scarlet poppies pinned against her left shoulder, she stepped forward following the end of the two-minute silence marked by the sounding of Last Post by 10 Royal Marine buglers.

The Queen laid her wreath at the foot of the Sir Edwin Lutyens Portland stone monument to the Glorious Dead, then stood with her head momentarily bowed.

She was joined by King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, who was invited to the Cenotaph for the first time to lay a wreath marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands by British troops.

Watched by his wife Queen Maxima, who stood next to the Duchess of Cambridge in the Royal Box, the King laid a wreath marked with the simple message, 'In remembrance of the British men and women who gave their lives for our future.'

Wreaths were then laid by members of the Royal Family, all wearing military uniform: Prince Philip; then Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Prince William at the same time ; then Prince Edward, Princess Anne and the Duke of Kent at the same time.

Three members of the Royal Family laying wreaths at the same time was an innovation in 2015 designed to slightly reduce the amount of time of the ceremony and thereby reduce the time that the Queen had to be standing.

Prince Charles attended a remembrance service in New Zealand.

The Prime Minister then laid a wreath. The Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, appeared at the Cenotaph for the first time. He wore both a suit and a red poppy for the occasion.

His bow as he laid a wreath marked with the words 'let us resolve to create a world of peace' was imperceptible – and not enough for some critics. Yet unlike the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Battle service earlier this year, Mr Corbyn did join in with the singing of the national anthem.

Following the end of the official service at the Cenotaph, a mammoth column more than 10,000-strong (some 9,000 of whom were veterans) began marching along Whitehall, saluting the Cenotaph as they passed, Parliament Street, Great George Street, Horse Guards Road and back to Horse Guard Parade. The Duke of Cambridge took the salute from the column on Horse Guards Parade.

Time takes its inevitable toll on even the most stoic among us, and this year only a dozen World War Two veterans marched with the Spirit of Normandy Trust, a year after the Normandy Veterans' Association disbanded.

Within their ranks was 95-year-old former Sapper Don Sheppard of the Royal Engineers. Sheppard was of the eldest on parade and was pushed in his wheelchair by his 19-year-old grandson, Sam who, in between studying at Queen Mary University, volunteers with the Normandy veterans.

'It is because of my admiration for them,' he says. 'I see them as role models and just have the utmost respect for what they did.'

While some had blankets covering their legs against the grey November day, other veterans of more recent wars had only stumps to show for their service to this country during 13 long years of war in Afghanistan.

As well as that terrible toll of personal sacrifice, the collective losses – and triumphs - of some of the country’s most historic regiments were also honoured yesterday.

The Gurkha Brigade Association - marking 200 years of service in the British Army – marched to warm ripples of applause. The King’s Royal Hussars, represented yesterday by 126 veterans, this year also celebrate 300 years since the regiment was raised.

They were led by General Sir Richard Shirreff, former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander of Nato and Colonel of the regiment who himself was marching for the first time.

'We are joined by a golden thread to all those generations who have gone before us,” he said. “We are who we are, because of those that have gone before us.' "

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.

These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.

I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.

Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

World War 2 Reenactment by kawkawpa

Observed from the sidelines by a casual G.I....

Fort Indiantown Gap PA hosted the annual WWII Battle of the Bulge Reenactment January 27 - 30, 2011. One of my brothers and I drove there on the 29th. I was interested in portraits, and managed to take a number of decent ones, This year we could actually see some of the mock battle through the trees and undergrowth - and mass of spectators – so there are many shots of reenactors in combat roles posted. The sky was overcast all day, and it snowed most of the time...

What you see here is one of many photos I'll be posting of reenactors in US and German uniforms. (Please note: You may catch an occasional glimpse of a military swastika on a German uniform or helmet - not often, but enough that if it would be something you'd rather not to have happen to you, then I recommend you look only at the GIs & Brits.)

The Battle of the Bulge was a momentous and historic event that proved decisive in the Second World War in Europe. This collection of reenactors' images reflects modern-day individuals' passion to portray soldiers and civilians from the nations involved in the actual event - the Second World War, and specifically, the Battle of the Bulge. That was a meaningful time for all the men and women who took part in it. Honoring their memory is key to those who participate in this annual reenactment, recreating the zeitgeist.

See more WWII reenactment photos in my World War 2 Reenactment Set.

USAID, UNICEF, & Minister of Education Observe Learning Kit Distribution by USAID in Africa

Liberia’s Minister of Education and representatives from USAID and UNICEF recently visited a warehouse to observe the packing and preparation of Learning Kits that USAID and UNICEF are distributing to students, teachers and schools across Liberia. Earlier in the week, USAID and UNICEF reps also visited 2 primary schools in Montserrado County that had already received their kits.

The Learning Kits contain supplies teachers and children require during the school year: pencils, erasers, sharpeners, rulers, notebooks, geometry sets, chalk, chalkboard erasers, soap, poster sheets, permanent markers, folders, registration and enrollment books, attendance registers, and lesson plan books.

New Fort At Lytton.

Plans Being Prepared

Brisbane, Saturday.

An important project in connection with the defences of the port of Brisbane is that for the construction of new fortifications at Lytton, by means of which it will be possible to completely command the entrance to the river. Some time ago the rough outlines of a scheme of this nature came before the Government, and after thorough consideration it was decided to have plans prepared for a new fort on what is known as Reformatory Hill, at Lytton. Ground plans of the proposed site were accordingly drafted, and these have been sent to London, in order that complete plans of the fort may be prepared by British military experts. The idea is to obtain two or three big guns having a long range, by means of which the approach of an enemy's ship to the shores of Moreton Bay will be rendered almost impossible. the exact character of the armament is a matter about which the strictest secrecy is observed, but it is probable that at least some of the powerful 9-inch wire guns, which have an effective range of several miles, will be obtained by the Government. The cost of one of the immense and deadly weapons is said to be £10,000.

By Rafiullah Mandokhail

ZHOB:

The 23rd death anniversary of Khudai Khidmatgar Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan and 5th of Rahbar-i-Tehreek Khan Abdul Wali Khan celebrated with honor and respect on Feb 2nd here in Zhob.

A public gathering was organized to mark the death anniversaries of Pashtoon nationalist leaders Bacha Khan and Abdul Wali Khan. Central Joint Secretary Muhammad Anwer Mandokhail presided over the gathering.

Addressing the participants Provincial Deputy Convenor Sardar Asghar Khan Achakzai, Central Deputy General Secretary Abdul Malik Panezai, Central Joint Secretary Muhammad Anwer Mandokhail, Provincial Convening Member Haji Sahib Jan Kakar, Former Provincial General Secretary Haji Nizam u Din Kakar, District Convener Sherani Malik Amanullah Harphal, District Convenor Zhob Abdul Rashid Sial and Muhammad Ibrahim Sherani said that Bacha Khan 37 years while Wali Khan had spent 17 years of their lives behind the bars for the Pashtoon rights and to up hold the banner of democratic system in Pakistan. They had never compromised over the Pashtoons rights. Both leaders disseminated a message of peace, adding late Wali Khan had further conveyed his father’s philosophy of non-violence. They added.

“ANP believes in the philosophy of non-violence of Bacha Khan and would never try to seek solutions to conflicts through wars and guns.” They said.

The speakers praised Bacha Khan and Wali Khan for their services for the independence of the Sub-continent and their fight for Pashtoons rights.

They further said “Pashtoons are leading a backward life in 21st century and they are deprived of all their genuine rights. Pashtoons do not have control over the recourses lying in their homeland”. They maintained.

Renaming the province as Pashtoonkhwa and burying the idea of controversial Kala Bagh dam forever were some of the achievements of Awami National Party, they added.

The speakers lashed at MQM and termed it as a terrorist organization, adding MQM is responsible for the deteriorating situation of law and order in Karachi . The role of Pashtoons in development of Karachi could not be ruled out. They maintained.

They also condemned the target killing of Pashtoons in Karachi and asked the governments to stop it forthwith otherwise the fire would engulf other parts of the country.

There is a dire need for the government to ensure the equal rights of Pashtoons, as Balochistan is the province of Baloch and Pashtoons. They added.

They demanded of the government through various resolutions to bane MQM, Construction of Zhob-Killa Saifullah, Zhob-Qamar Din and Zhob-Mir Ali Khail high ways and to maintain law and order situation in the area.

They also condemned terrorism in the country particularly in Khyber Pashtoonkhwa.

Junk Jet n°2 | Page 96_97 by asli serbest, mona mahall

1

Junk Jet contains all sorts of works: written, drawn, programmed, photographed, hacked, tinkered, cooked, and played; works that display an addiction for the speculative.

Sam Jacob observes the connection of the sacred and the technical, the moral and the functional. Temporal or reversible, informal networks, beyond the order of power, and observed in Russia or Turkey, are the topic analysed by Peter Mörtenböck and Helge Mooshammer. Within the WWW, but also challenging temporal conventions, Olia Lialina speculates on a mysterious webcam project of an empty bed. Reflecting on the computer as a new tool for designers, Neil Spiller and Georg Trogemann, from very different points of views, deal with machine architecture and their spaces between poetics and cybernetic automata. Roomservices, Aram Bartholl, Annett Zinsmeister, and Dadara deal with the concurrence or clash or completion of virtual and real space. From the photo booth, via a skip, to an ordinary building, and wiped off graffiti, there are stories and projects of the every day life and its minuscule gambles. Recetas Urbanas show an example of architectural misuse converting urban reserves to playgrounds. Julian von Klier’s photographs show spoors of graffiti works, which are tried to be deleted. The netartists 0100101110101101.org, also working with signs, contribute with the project “An Ordinary Building”. ‘Monsters’ is called a compendium of all of the monsters found in the contemporary practice and discourse of architecture. Maywa Denki introduces their music of nonsense objects, and Jodi’s delicious cooking recipe will make your stomach happy. Junk Jet features the “Junkancial Times” insert: best tips to speculate. Don’t miss the junk architect’s tattoo!!
