The devastated and precarious position of Baniashanta brothel at Dacope upazila in Khulna still remains at risk, as the dam is not enough to hold whenever there is a surge. Cyclone Amphan struck mercilessly, causing mass damage to the homes. But with the floods and other calamities, the remaining homes may not hold on their own.

This is a photograph from the second running of the newly situated Irish 3/4 Marathon (formerly the Athlone 3/4) which was held in Longwood, Enfield, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 8th of October 2017 at 10:00. The event is positioned perfectly in the calendar as a key training race before the Dublin City Marathon at the end of the month. This year was the second year that the event was held in Longwood, Co. Meath which is now well known for its hosting of the Longwood 10KM/5KM annual races and a host venue for East of Ireland Marathon series marathons on a bi-annual basis. The race started and finished at Longwood GAA club just outside the village of Longwood. It followed an anti-clockwise course around the beautiful picturesque countryside of south Meath. The course went through the townlands of Longwood, Castlerickard, Killyon, Hill-of-Down, Anneville and Ashfield Clonard, Blackshare, Stoneyford and back to Longwood. The river Boyne and Blackwater were crossed as was the Royal Canal and the Dublin-Sligo Railway line at Hill-of-Down. Overall this was a very different course to the previous years in Athlone. The overall elevation of the course works out at 3/4 of the total elevation of the Dublin Marathon course. What most stood out about today's race was the course and how the countryside around it looked on a beautiful almost perfect Autumn morning. There was a large local effort with stewarding and many local people watched from their gardens as the race passed by. The organisation of the race was first class with every detail taken care of from the start until the finish. There was some rain showers from about 13:00 onwards but these soon passed.
There is a large set of photographs from today's race - taken at the start in Longwood village and the 25KM mark outside near our home.
They are available on our Flickr photostream at the following set. www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157687694983023

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.

Henry was born at Moat House Cottage in Canley , which was then part of the Stoneleigh Estate, owned by the Leigh family. For at least a century the Parkes family had been tenant farmers there, growing wheat, barley, and other arable crops.
It was the year of Waterloo – 1815 – when Henry Parkes was born. Between his birth on May 27 and his baptism on July 5 at St Mary the Virgin Church in Stoneleigh , the great Battle of Waterloo had taken place, though how soon news of it reached the little village of Stoneleigh is hard to tell.
Not long after Henry’s birth, however, his father Thomas took the decision to move the family to a larger farm on the estate, near present-day Gibbet Hill . Since the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars, Britain had been cut off from trade with much of Europe and consequently the price of food had soared. This, coupled with several years of drought sent crop prices ever higher – and Thomas Parkes saw his chance to cash in.
Henry and his six siblings grew up at the farm, and from there he would walk to the school in Stoneleigh.
When he was just eight years old, however, Henry’s formal education came to a sudden halt. The Parkes’ rental was quadrupled to reflect the increase in the price of wheat, but when the wars were over and crop prices fell dramatically, rental costs on the estate did not. When, in 1822, Henry’s father Thomas was incapacitated by an accident which left him on crutches, he was even less able to run his farm at a profit and a year later, in 1823, Thomas Parkes was removed from his farm, heavily in debt.
There followed a terrible time for the family, and by the age of 11 Henry was working in a rope factory and later in a rock-breaking gang. Aged 12 he was apprenticed to a bone and ivory turner, John Holding of Moseley Street in Birmingham, and made products such as knife handles, hair combs and toys.
He began to self-educate at the same time, joining the Birmingham Mechanics’ Institute and reading avidly, especially poetry. By the age of 16 he was fired by an enthusiasm for radical politics, the Chartist Movement then being at its height.
For adversity in youth made him look towards new beginnings, and in 1839 he and his young wife Clarinda set off for New South Wales, Australia, a child being born to them on board ship, just two days before arrival in Sydney.
Henry set about finding employment, and eventually founded a newspaper, The Empire, in 1850. His taste for politics, begun in Birmingham, led ultimately to the extraordinary achievement of being elected Premier of New South Wales no less than five times.
Australians today remember Sir Henry Parkes as “The Father of Federation”, for it was his dream to see the various states of Australia combined. Sadly he was not to live to see this happen, as he died in 1896 and Federation finally came about in 1901.
Recognition of his enormous contribution to Australian politics has come, however, through the town of Parkes being named after him (twinned with Coventry in 1939), and in his image being reproduced on banknotes and coins.
In 1882 Sir Henry Parkes returned for the final time to his native village, after dining with the Prime Minister, Gladstone, and attending a State Ball at Buckingham Palace. First, on April 3 he paid a private visit to see the school where he received his early education. The school logbook carries an entry written by him, to record the event.
Three weeks later, in April, he stayed at Stoneleigh Abbey with Lord Leigh, who made a short speech of congratulation to an “old Stoneleigh boy” who now held such a distinguished position. Sir Henry’s speech in response remarked upon his vivid and affectionate recollections of the village.
Before leaving England for the last time he returned in June, and was feted at the Reading Room – now the village club – before leaving to the accompaniment of the village fife and drum band, the pealing of church bells and anvil-firing from the blacksmith’s forge!
As he drove away, he must have felt that his life’s journey from Stoneleigh, Warwickshire to Sydney, New South Wales had been a long and momentous one. Today, in Stoneleigh and Coventry, we continue to honour the memory of one of our greatest sons.

With the threat of a German land invasion, gun batteries were placed strategically along the south coast. Brownstone Battery was built at Froward Point above Kingswear in 1940 to protect the Dart Estuary and nearby beaches Slapton and Blackpool Sands. The Battery was manned by up to 300 soldiers.
The Battery has two gun positions. Each housed a six-inch gun, taken from a First World War battleship. The guns had a range of over 14 miles, and 13 men were needed to operate each gun. The men worked on a shift system.
The shells containing high explosives were propelled from the guns by 'charges.' These were either cordite, a silk bag filled with smaller bags of explosive, or a cartridge, a brass cylinder filled with explosive.
At the lower position, a miniature railway was built and the track carried shells down the steep slop from the ammunition store to the gun position. The shells were loaded onto a truck or bogey then freewheeled down with gears controlling the speed. An engine and pulley hoisted the truck back up the slope.
There are two searchlight positions at the battery. The reinforced concrete buildings housed powerful searchlights which scanned the sea for enemy ships. Five men operated each searchlight, working on shifts. Below the searchlights, the whole cliff area was covered in barbed wire.
The Battery was decommissioned in the late 1950s and is now managed by the National Trust.
From the same position as the previous photo, but turned to the right, we see the loading dock. From here wagons could be unloaded onto the hard standing in the centre of the photo or the crane could lower blocks down to the roadway immediately below.
This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Samuel J. Hood Studio collection. Sam Hood (1872-1953) was a Sydney photographer with a passion for ships. His 60-year career spanned the romantic age of sail and two world wars. The photos in the collection were taken mainly in Sydney and Newcastle during the first half of the 20th century.
The ANMM undertakes research and accepts public comments that enhance the information we hold about images in our collection. This record has been updated accordingly.
