President Volodymyr Zelensky met with the Chair of the NATO Military Committee, Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, who made his first foreign visit in this position specifically to Ukraine.
“We are grateful to NATO for its support of Ukraine from the very beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion. Thank you very much for your first mission and decision to be in Ukraine. Thank you very much. This is a very strong signal for us from NATO and professionals,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The main topics of the meeting were preparations for the next meeting in the Ramstein format and our state's defense needs. The President noted that one of Ukraine's top priorities was the implementation of the agreements reached at the NATO Summit in Washington on strengthening Ukraine’s air defense. The Russian dictator does not want the war to end, and only Ukraine's strong position and pressure on Russia can force the aggressor state to establish a just and lasting peace.
Special attention was paid to the operational launch of the NSATU mission “Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine.” According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine is counting on concrete results of its work, in particular, on strengthening coordination in military assistance.
The Chair of the NATO Military Committee assured that the North Atlantic Alliance is ready to fulfill all its commitments, as it considers Ukraine an integral part of the transatlantic defense architecture.
“The message I would like to convey not only to you, but to everyone, is that NATO is on your side. We are determined to fulfill all our commitments and to defend all the values and principles that we share,” he added.
In addition, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Giuseppe Cavo Dragone discussed the continued military assistance from NATO member states and direct investment in the domestic production of long-range drones based on the Danish model. At one of the defense industry enterprises, they got acquainted with the production capacities and characteristics of Ukrainian long-range weapons and spoke with the people working there.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the employees for their service to the state and for their work, which every day brings tangible results and strengthens our army with domestically produced weapons; he also presented them with state awards.
“Thank you for your work. It's very gratifying to see that we have something to show, and it's not theoretical – it’s your tangible result. A real result that helps us and is feared by the Russians, the enemies of our state. It’s a great pleasure to be here with our NATO colleagues. It's truly rewarding when they see the high level of achievement Ukraine has reached during this war. The level of domestic production during wartime is exceptionally high,” the President said.
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

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!

As the Japanese Force morale dropped to '3', we were forced to stop. Overall Australian losses were 6 KIA in Cobb's platoon plus the MMG team finally wiped out. I as the Japanese lost 23 men and had all 3 JL in the rifle sections wounded. The game ended just when it looked like the Ha Go was in position to overrun the Aussie defensive line and my mortar section was also advancing on the right. The downing of JLs and too many rolls of '4' pretty well stymied my attack. Another victory for the Diggers means that Game 5 will be another Scenario 3 Attack.
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.
Seems I never uploaded photos I took when Melissa and I went to the Virginia Signal Meet in 2019. These are on the NS Shenandoah Line which I hear are slowly being replaced now. This is Arcadia Control Points taken on 4/28/2019.
Wireless Ridge, on the northern road leading to Murrell Farm
These rudimentary field defences were constructed to oppose a British approach to Stanley from the west. They are very exposed and have no protection from fire, but their position low against the earth banks would have help hide their whereabouts until the last moment.
With so many Spanish groups scattered and several Spanish leaders hit, and a big unit of redcoats coming up, the table is ceded to the Crown forces.
An enjoyable game that shows the limits of regulars in a messy and jumbled environment The Spanish needed to form up quickly while they outnumbered the Crown and the initial ambush needed to hurt the Spanish a bit more.
The Spanish losses were: 5 in the Florida Militia and their leader KIA 3 in the barely engaged Black Militia The Grenadiers had 8 dead and the Lights lost 5. Oklane was wounded and his Yamasee lost 6. 28 dead altogether.
The Crown forces had 5 Darien Scots killed and Mckay wounded. The Georgia Rangers lost 7 -all near the end of the battle. The Indian allies had 7 killed along with their leader wounded. The 42nd only had 1 man killed-obviously most of the action was on the other side of the trail. Total of 20 casualties plus 2 Big Men wounded.
I really enjoy these sort of under-represented theatres.

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.

Positioned along track to Church Farm, this FW3/28 Type 28 anti-tank gun house is sited facing north to defend the river crossing at Jude's Ferry Bridge. The gun emplacement was fitted with a pedestal and nine-bolt holdfast for a 6-pounder anti-tank gun.
The FW3/28 Type 28 is a rectangular shellproof gun house designed to house either a 2pdr or 6pdr Hotchkiss anti-tank gun. The smallest Type 28 gun house, is a single chamber design built to a shellproof standard, with external walls approximately 3ft 6in thick whilst the roof is 12in thick. Overall it approximately measures 20ft by 19ft and internally the chamber measures 13ft by 12ft. At the front of the Type 28 gun house is the low and wide embrasure for the 2pdr or 6pdr anti-tank gun. With the 2pdr gun in position the shield of the gun would have covered most of the embrasure, which measures 2ft 6in internally, stepping out to 3ft 2in by 11ft 6in on the outside, the maximum traverse of the 2pdr gun was limited to a 60° sweep.
Getting the 2pdr gun inside the gun house was through a rear opening of 6ft wide, which would be closed in with sandbags as there were no doors fitted. The large unobstructed entrance did allow the 2pdr gun to maintain it’s mobility, by allowing the gun to be moved in and out rapidly. Below the gun embrasure are three recesses in the floor, the 2pdr gun, would have been wheeled into position, then its wheels removed and the trail legs unfolded and located into the floor recesses. In cases were the Hotckiss quick fire anti-tank gun was used a pedestal with a nine bolt holdfast was added to mount the gun, in a more permanent position adding sandbags around the embrasure for added protection.
Normally each side wall has an infantry embrasure, to provide some limited protection from the enemy. However, the lack of all-round small arms fire meant that the gun house would be very vulnerable to enemy attack. The lack of forward-firing Infantry embrasures meant that it would not be possible to support the 2pdr gun with small arms fire. So to overcome the problem of the limited infantry fire support the FW3/28 gun house design was modified to produce the FW3/28a. This modification consisted of a second chamber being added to the anti-tank gun chamber, the second chamber was an infantry chamber with up to three infantry embrasures, firing to the front, rear and side. Generally, the gun houses were positioned to allow the gun to fire along fixed lines, such as enfiladingss an anti-tank ditch or a bridge. In these positions the limited traverse of the gun creates no real disadvantage and the small size of the embrasure provides greater protection for the gun and its crew.
Eastern Command: Corps and Command Stop Lines – One of three Eastern Command Corps stop lines, this one running from the River Colne in Essex via Wakes Colne and Bures, along the River Stour to Sudbury and Long Melford, and thence to Bury St. Edmunds and the River Lark at Mildenhall. Its final stretch (known now as the Command Line) was via Littleport along the line of the River Great Ouse to King's Lynn.

MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi of Italy celebrates his 100th grand prix victory from pole position at the Dutch TT race at Assen, on June 27, 2009. Rossi won the Dutch MotoGp to record his 100th career win and take the overall lead in the world championship standings. The eight-time world champion beat home his Yamaha team-mate Jorge Lorenzo while Australia's 2007 world champion Casey Stoner was third on a Ducati.

This rudimentary defensive position may have served as the command bunker for a battery of anti-aircraft guns in this location. It it sited near the highest point, in close proximity to one of the Rh-202 guns still in situ (presumed to be close to the original position) and would have been large enough for the compliment of command and signals staff required. It is larger than the standard single or two-man positions found elsewhere.
