The ancient site of Monte Alban stands in a commanding position atop a low mountainous range overlooking the city of Oaxaca, a spectacular vantage point with superb views across the surrounding countryside.
The ruins are amongst the earliest in Mexico dating back to c500BC and the product of Zapotec culture. It was inhabitated up to it's decline as a city between c500-750AD, after which it was mostly abandoned and forgotten.
The site is an a huge scale with vast ceremonial courtyards and several pyramid-like structures and temple platforms, many with grand staircases giving access to higher levels. There is also a ball court and a sequence of relief sculptures, known as the 'Dancers' due to their strange contortions (but considered more likely to be sacrificial victims or prisoners!).
Several tombs have been found at the site, and some fine pre-Columbian treasures were found, now on display in the archaeological museum in Oaxaca.
I threw a set of factory foot pegs onto the bike so I could have the choice of the forward controls or factory setup. Also, I almost need the left foot peg to stand on when kick starting the bike.
Every year COTA puts on a VIP Pit Walk before the United States Grand Prix Formula 1 race. It's two hours of watching teams practice their pit stops, doing preparations before being inspected, and drivers doing interviews and occasionally interacting with the fans.

PARTS
• 2 or 3 12-position rotary switches (or 10-position, whatever you can get)
• 2 pin or banana jacks (to match your test leads)
• resistor assortment from 5 ohms to 1M or greater; gold bands (5% tolerance) are better than silver bands (10% tolerance).
• project box
INSTRUCTIONS
1- Get a box and drill holes for mounting two or three 12-position rotary switches. Drill holes also for the two jacks.
2- Mount the switches and the jacks; label switch positions with corresponding resistor values.
3- Follow this diagram and solder resistors directly to the lugs of the rotary switches.
NOTE: If you solder the resistors so their unsoldered leads extend the opposite direction of the switch's shaft, these leads can be gathered together and soldered at once, connected to the bus wire terminating in point "A".
• The first switch would provide the lowest resistance, the next would provide mid-range resistors, and the final switch would be wired to the resistors with the greatest resistance.
• As seen, the 12th lug of the depicted switch connects to the next switch in the array. Naturally, the final switch in the array would have its 12th lug connected to the final resistor in the matrix.
PANEL
To mark the panel for the resistor values:
1- Turn the mounted switches to position "1" (doesn't matter at all how you orient the switches, just turn them to their lowest resistor settings).
2- Place knobs loosely on shafts and turn their pointers to wherever you want "1" (your lowest resistor value) to be located around the dial (near top or bottom of dial, usually).
3- Once all pointers are angled to this position, tighten their set screws to keep them in place.
4- With your marker, put dots where the pointers point as you click them all around their orbits.
5- Label these dots with the corresponding resistor values. Position "12" can be marked with an arrow pointing to the next switch.
USAGE
1- Set all rotary switches to "12" for starting position. This will provide the greatest resistance available (this is safest on the circuit). Plug your test leads in.
2- Begin turning the LAST dial downward and observe the response of the circuit (LED brightness, audio output, circuit clocking - whatever you're after).
3- When you get to position "1" on this switch, turn the next rotary switch to position "11" to continue the resistance decrease, and so on until you reach the resistance value desired.
4- Observe the resistance the dial is pointing to; grab another resistor of the same value, and your green LED will never again scare you with that ember-like, off-yellow, over-voltage, "Seeya in LED Halvala" glow.

Ngorongoro Crater. Cratera de Ngorongoro, Tanzania. Apr/2015
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) is a conservation area and a UNESCO World Heritage Site located 180 km (110 mi) west of Arusha in the Crater Highlands area of Tanzania. Ngorongoro Crater, a large volcanic caldera within the area, is recognized by one private organization as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. The conservation area is administered by the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority, an arm of the Tanzanian government, and its boundaries follow the boundary of the Ngorongoro Division of the Arusha Region. It has been reported in 2009 that the government authority has proposed a reduction of the population of the conservation area from 65,000 to 25,000. There are plans being considered for 14 more luxury tourist hotels, so people can access "the unparalleled beauty of one of the world's most unchanged wildlife sanctuaries", however, the people who own the land have had few benefits from tourism. None of the senior level positions in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is yet held by a member of the local Maasai pastoralists.
A cratera de Ngorongoro, é uma das maiores atracções da Tanzânia.
É também considerada a Arca de Noé da África Oriental, por abrigar no seu seio a quase totalidade das espécies animais daquela região, integrados num ecossistema que ainda não foi afectado pela mão do homem. Observado do alto das suas falésias ou do fundo da sua vastíssima cratera, o Ngorongoro é um dos locais mais fascinantes de África.
De fato, a cratera de Ngorongoro é um lugar muito bonito, que abriga milhares de animais selvagens. Foi até chamada de “a oitava maravilha do mundo”, por alguns naturalistas, e pode-se entender o motivo.
A origem do nome, Ngorongoro, é desconhecida ao certo. Segundo a Sociedade de Conservação da África Oriental, alguns dizem que Ngorongoro era o nome de um masai que fazia sinos para gado e vivia na cratera. Outros afirmam que o nome vem de um valente grupo de guerreiros datogos que foram derrotados pelos massais numa batalha ocorrida na cratera há 150 anos. Mas, de repente, quando avista-se as zebras pastando perto do estacionamento, a origem do nome parece irrelevante. Visitantes podem seguir num veículo e chegar bem perto , sem que as zebras nem os notem. A cratera fica a 2.236 metros acima do nível do mar e é a maior caldeira intacta, ou vulcão desmoronado, do mundo. Mede mais de 19 quilômetros de diâmetro e tem uma superfície de 304 quilômetros quadrados, sendo que dentro da cratera é surpreendentemente quente...Ao passo que o motorista percorre lentamente o fundo da cratera, passa-se por um pequeno lago salgado com muitos flamingos rosados A borda da cratera que agora ficou para trás se destaca em contraste com o céu azul. Pode-se ouvir o barulho de zebras e gnus misturado com outros sons exóticos. Sem dúvida, é um paraíso!

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

ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
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.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
