This is an image of me in a leadership position. I was a cheerleader all 4 years of high school and was also a captain.
These two Ten-Tec Orions make up the 10 meter position. Each rig has an Alpha amplifier. During our CW contest, John, K4BAI, was the predominant operator in this position. It was a terrific, high pleasure and honor for me to get to meet John, finally, after having worked him in contests over many years.

Donna the WWII Stuart M-5 tank sits in her position at the back of the Memorial Park lot, next to an alley and looking out towards North First St in DeKalb IL.
Donna the tank at Memorial Park at the northeast corner of Lincoln Hwy and First St in DeKalb, Illinois. The tank is a Stuart M5 Light Tank. It is my understanding that this particular tank never saw any actual combat service during WW II. However it might be more accurate to say that, it is not known if this tank saw any service during WWII. Apparently Donna's previous history before her arrival in DeKalb was lost or never given.
Donna arrived in DeKalb in Jan 1949 and was soon placed and dedicated in a prominent location in downtown DeKalb at the corner of Lincoln Hwy and Fourth St, and also near the Chicago & North Western railroad tracks. I recall seeing her there many times as a boy when we visited our DeKalb relatives and I can tell you she made quite an impression in that location.
Before Donna, a captured German WW I cannon and a large honor roll sign sat in the same location but when WW II came along, the cannon was donated as scrap for the war effort. Nobody seems to know what happened to the honor roll sign.
The original location turned out to be problematic for Donna over the years. On August 4, 1961, a train derailment bumped Donna off her cement pad. A few train cars were strewn about the street but Donna was largely unscathed. When I learned this a year ago or so I was fascinated.
In latter years, when the local military officials held their annual service at the location near the busy intersection and railroad tracks, they were frustrated with the train horn and bells and they claimed it was difficult to safely conduct these events, hence Donna was moved here to Memorial Park on May 18, 2002.
I understand their reasoning but I can tell you that for many of us who remember her in the original location, its obviously not the same. You couldnt miss her at 4th & Lincoln but today she has been delegated to the back of a lot where she's seen mostly by those who already know shes there.
Information from the Joiner History Room in Sycamore IL: "Donna came from the Watervliet Arsenal in Watervliet, New York in January of 1949. There is no mention of her name in the news coverage at the time she arrived or anything about her other than where she came from.
There is a 2002 DeKalb Chronicle article that says “Donna, which apparently got its name from the girlfriend of the tank commander who operated it early in WWII…” Donna was repainted in January of 1949 when she arrived."
Positioned above the beach approach at Weybourne Hope and built into the cliff this Shellproof Vickers Machine Gun Emplacement is semi-sunken with added roof camouflage, all openings have been bricked up. There is a west facing Large Embrasure which has a chamfered roof line above, the Embrasure opening would have been reduced in size with added Sandbags for protection. There is probably steps leading down to a Full Height Entrance, but has been backfilled over the years, and an external Blast Wall gives protection. The rear of the Gun Emplacement as been exposed by coastal erosion, and it's probably just a matter of time before she topples over the cliff !
The Vickers Machine Gun Emplacement is constructed with brick-built shuttering and poured concrete, and is built to a Shellproof specification with 51in walls, it's a rectangular square plan of approximately 14ft x 14ft with chamfered corners on the front face and roof line. There is a forward facing Large Stepped Embrasure to house a single Machine Gun, the Entrance is to the left of the Embrasure within the line of fire, this is protected by a large and thick Blast Wall. Inside the Gun Emplacement behind the Large Embrasure is a Large Concrete Table which was used to mount the Vickers Machine Gun on its Tripod. There is also up to three Embrasures/Loopholes for either Rifle or Bren Light Machine Gun use. In the rear wall is an Air Vent. Normally positioned in pairs as a 'Two Gun Section' and often on steep forward facing slopes, usually semi-sunken with Earthen Camouflage covering their Position.

All shot with a Panasonic FZ30 at ISO 80 and shutter speed 1/250 with a Vivitar 285HV set at 1/16. The camera was positioned around 5 feet from the subject, just slightly to the right. Picachu was 6 feet from the white wall. Each frame doubles the aperture (f/11 to f/5.6 to f/2.8) and doubles the distance of the flash to Picachu (3 feet to 6 feet to 12 feet).
Start with first position. First position is arguably the easiest basic ballet position. Stand with your feet together, ensuring your heels touch. Then, turn each leg outward so your feet are perpendicular to your torso. Keep your heels together, but allow your feet, calves, and thighs pivot until your feet form a straight line parallel with your shoulders. The end stance is first position.
- Your whole leg from your thigh to your feet be turned outward. The end result will turn your feet in a straight line on the floor, with your heels in the middle.
- First position for the arms looks like you’re holding a beach ball in the middle of your stomach. Keep your fingers about 4 inches (10 cm) apart, and tilt your hands just slightly toward your face.
A simple exercise on distance to control the light ,
all the pictures are with the same distance from the background wall about 2 meeters and the flash from 160 cm to 25 cm.
Light is a bare SB600 on a stand 15° higher than the face
Thanks David strobist.blogspot.com ,
I've never tought to be able to control the light this way!!!

Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, straddling the Bosporus Strait, the boundary between Europe and Asia. It is considered the country's economic, cultural and historic capital. The city has a population of over 15 million residents, comprising 19% of the population of Turkey, and is the most populous city in Europe[c] and the world's sixteenth-largest city.
The city was founded as Byzantium in the 7th century BCE by Greek settlers from Megara. In 330 CE, the Roman emperor Constantine the Great made it his imperial capital, renaming it first as New Rome (Ancient Greek: Νέα Ῥώμη Nea Rhomē; Latin: Nova Roma) and then finally as Constantinople (Constantinopolis) after himself. In 1930, the city's name was officially changed to Istanbul, the Turkish rendering of εἰς τὴν Πόλιν eis tḕn Pólin 'to the City', the appellation Greek speakers used since the 11th century to colloquially refer to the city.
The city served as an imperial capital for almost 1600 years: during the Byzantine (330–1204), Latin (1204–1261), late Byzantine (1261–1453), and Ottoman (1453–1922) empires. The city grew in size and influence, eventually becoming a beacon of the Silk Road and one of the most important cities in history. The city played a key role in the advancement of Christianity during Roman/Byzantine times, hosting four of the first seven ecumenical councils before its transformation to an Islamic stronghold following the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 CE—especially after becoming the seat of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1517.[ In 1923, after the Turkish War of Independence, Ankara replaced the city as the capital of the newly formed Republic of Turkey.
Istanbul was the 2010 European Capital of Culture. The city has surpassed London and Dubai to become the most visited city in the world, with more than 20 million foreign visitors in 2023. The historic centre of Istanbul is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city hosts the headquarters of numerous Turkish companies, accounting for more than thirty percent of the country's economy.
Neolithic artifacts, uncovered by archeologists at the beginning of the 21st century, indicate that Istanbul's historic peninsula was settled as far back as the 6th millennium BCE. That early settlement, important in the spread of the Neolithic Revolution from the Near East to Europe, lasted for almost a millennium before being inundated by rising water levels. The first human settlement on the Asian side, the Fikirtepe mound, is from the Copper Age period, with artifacts dating from 5500 to 3500 BCE. In the European side, near the point of the peninsula (Sarayburnu) there was a settlement during the early 1st millennium BCE. Modern authors have linked it to the possible Thracian toponym Lygos, mentioned by Pliny the Elder as an earlier name for the site of Byzantium.
There is evidence suggesting there were settlements around the region dating as far back as 6700 BC, and it is hard to define if there was any settlement on exact spot at city proper established, but earliest records about city proper begins around 660 BC when Greek settlers from the Attic town of Megara colonized the area and established Byzantium on the European side of the Bosphorus. It fell to the Roman Republic in 196 BC, and was known as Byzantium in Latin until 330, when the city, soon renamed as Constantinople, became the new capital of the Roman Empire. During the reign of Justinian I, the city rose to be the largest in the western world, with a population peaking at close to half a million people. Constantinople functioned as the capital of the Byzantine Empire, which effectively ended with the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Constantinople then became the capital of the Ottoman Turks.
The population had declined during the medieval period, but as the Ottoman Empire approached its historical peak, the city grew to a population of close to 700,000 in the 16th century, once again ranking among the world's most popular cities. With the founding of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, that country's capital moved from Constantinople to Ankara (previously Angora).

Queensbury probe for a weakness in the opposition defence during a 26-22 win at Allerton Bywater in the First Division of amateur rugby league's Yorkshire League. Two early tries at Ninevah Lane put Bury 10-0 up but the hosts hit back with great determination to lead by two points at half-time then claimed a 22-14 advantage after an hour. Divisional leaders Queensbury clinched victory - and maintained a 100 per cent start to the 2018 season from seven games - with two tries in three minutes during the closing stages. After a double dismissal for an exchange of punches, both teams played all but 27 minutes with 12 players.
