In Sierra Leone, Ebola almost put a stop to education as schools had to close while the country battled the crisis.
But UK aid is helping students continue their learning while it beats the disease - even if it's out of the classroom.
In Kenema, Britain is supporting the International Rescue Committee to help children continue their studies through informal learning groups, educational radio programmes and access to library books.

Heather and I checked out a fund raiser put on by the StarBelly School of Dance - it was called Efflorescence, the 5th Annual Big Bad-Ass Bellydance Show. This was way more than a traditional belly dance show - it had elements of belly dance but it also had a lot of modern dance too. It was an amazing show - we are so glad we went. What a great introduction to the belly dance community in Boise!
I took these photos on 8 February 2015. Photo note - the lighting was set for a theater event - it was very dark, low light, with constantly changing lights so a lot of photos are not tack sharp and the skin tones might be a bit off. Other than that, it was a great show!

Simply put, the 1968 Petri Color 35 is a design masterpiece. It came two years after the Rollei 35 and is the camera that the Rollei 35 should have been. Where the Rollei 35 is odd and hard to work, the Petri Color 35 shines in originality and ease of use. Of course all of this is VERY odd, since saying a Petri had a much better design than a Rollei is something like saying Yugo had a much better design than Ferrari. I don't have a clue how the Color 35 design came to Petri, but I bet it's a fascinating story. According to the Collector's Guide of Japanese Cameras, the Petri Color 35 has the distinction being the first Japanese camera to have the distance scale and exposure scale in the viewfinder.

This is a photograph from the 'Please Give Jane a Voice' Charity 5KM Road Race, Fun Run, and Walk which was held in Castlepollard, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Sunday 16th February 2014 at 13:00. This race was held as a fund raiser for local girl Jane Boyle Regan who is 7 years old and is in need of a life-saving operation in Switzerland to help open her airways and rebuild her vocal chords. This is a very very good cause and the proceeds of the run today will be put towards the very substantial costs involved in this operation for Jane.
Runners, joggers, and walkers from around the Castlepollard, North Westmeath, and Oldcastle area came out in force today and there were over 200 participants in the event.

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

I put in about the same, if not more $$$ into the Tan 1911 than what cost to get the KWA Mk.II. The KWA shoots harder and faster, and doesn't seem to run out as Gas as much as my custom gun. But, the recoil on mine is much harder, and definately weighs closer to the real deal. It's a tie I guess.

'Heave heritage, put up a parking lot '.
Welcome , or an unwelcome sight, to Greenlane Clinical or Cynical centre ? in Auckland. Building ten is coming down for the lack of advocacy , or interest ,solidly built in the 1920s....the rationale since the Christchurch Earthquakes of late 2011/Feb 2012 insurance has hugely increased so too the idea of earthquake proofing older, if solid buildings.
One reason I like to travel is for the appreciation of architecture. This is not often valued in Auckland though. It is not officially the central areas second hospital any more , despite its history of heart surgery and the National Women's hospital as most 'health users' are now day patients. The more ideal view behind is on an official website ...
www.adhb.govt.nz/gcc/gcc_history.htm
"Even if a building was worthy of preservation, Aucklanders could not expect the board to preserve it. "In Auckland we are very good at destroying buildings given by benefactors, which would make any potential benefactor think twice."
Heritage advocate Helen Geary, who was part of the two-year battle to save Building 5 (see panel), said Building 10 was also of heritage interest and should at least be properly recorded. "In an ideal world it would be great to keep it because all heritage is significant, but it's on a hospital site and it's difficult to save everything."
She recommended the board photograph the interior and salvage the woodwork panelling, staircase and old fanlight windows.
She would be interested to hear of the board's plans for the three Category 1 listed buildings, in particular the Costley Home. "To my knowledge it's not being maintained and is neglected."
Board communications manager Mark Fenwick said the future needs of ........ the future needs of Aucklanders were at the "forefront of planning. We have identified the Greenlane Clinical Centre site as a key future-health services development site, offering a large area of flat land in a good location for developing new clinical facilities."

The Kahala Hotel & Resort
5000 Kahala Avenue
Honolulu, Hawaii
In 1959 real estate developer Charlie Pietsch Jr obtained a long term land lease on the 6 1/2 acre hotel site from Bishop Estate. Being a member of Bishop's Trust Executive Committee helped! With Waialae lease in hand, Pietsch puts together a 50/50 deal with his acquaintance Conrad Hilton. Pietsch signed a contract with Hilton International to operate the proposed 10 story hotel.
Pietsch suggested the name The Kahala Hilton because Waialae was too hard to pronounce and spell. Architects were Killingsworth, Brady, and Smith of Long Beach. The groundbreaking of the 368-room Kahala was in 1962 and the resort opened in 1964 with a $26 rate. The construction of the hotel resulted in Waialae Country Club to redesign several of its golf course holes. The resort used the post-and-beam construction on a grand scale that became one of Killingsworth’s hallmarks. More than 100 coconut palms were planted. 18,000 yards of fine sand were barged from Molokai island to pad the beach front. The resort cost $12 million to build. Killingsworth and his firm also designed the Halekulani Hotel, the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and the Kapalua Bay Hotel.
In 1968 Charles Pietsch sold his half of The Kahala to TWA, the owner of Hilton International, for $16.5 million.
1973 - TWA/Hilton International sells its shares in the hotel to mortgage holder Massachusetts Mutual life, but retains
management contract. Massachusetts Mutual Life sells its shares to MEPC, one of the largest property development
companies in the world at a price of over $20 million. In 1977 William Weinberg initiates a plan to buy the hotel for a price between $26 and $28 million. The contract takes two years to negotiate before closing the deal in May 1977. William Weinberg (WKH Corp.) owned the Kahala Hilton hotel from 1977 to 1993, this investment was most near and dear to his heart.
In 1993, WKH Corp. sold the 6.5 acre resort to an investment group then headed by isle developer Bill Mills after an arbitration panel raised the resort's annual lease rent from $96,000 a year to $5.6 million a year. Bishop Estate had proposed an annual rent of $13.5 million while WKH offered to pay $1.3 million a year. Japan-based Kahala Royal Corp. (Katsumi Iida) and local developer Bill Mills paid an estimated $50 million.
In 1996 the hotel was renamed Kahala Mandarin Oriental after a 40 percent investment by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. The Mandarin Oriental Group took over management, lasting until 2005
In 2005 Kahala Royal Corp., the Hawai'i firm owned by Katsumi Iida, paid $97 million to Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group for its 40 percent stake in the hotel on land leased from the Kamehameha Schools. Trinity Investments of Honolulu bought the hotel for $175 million in 2006 and rebranded it "The Kahala." Trinity is owned by California hotelier Chuck Sweeney and attorney Jon Miho of Honolulu.
In August 2014 - The Kahala Hotel & Resort was sold to Japanese-based Resorttrust Inc. for $300 million, which equates to $887,000 per room, the highest per-room price ever paid for an Oahu hotel property. Resorttrust will use the hotel as part of its time-share network. The new owner plans to retain Landmark Hotels Inc., the Trinity affiliate that took over management of the hotel in March 2006. All employees are expected to be retained by Resorttrust, which will assume the collective bargaining agreement between the hotel and UNITE HERE! Local 5.
Er det ikke pussig, denne jenta, hun bak puta, som liksom skal bli motedame når hun blir stor, har det blitt plent umulig å ta et bilde av, uten at hun enten rekker å gjemme seg, vende seg bort eller gjøre grimaser, før jeg får kameraet til øyet.
Ellers ser jeg at Canon har kommet med EOS 850D, og dette gjorde meg litt nostalgisk, da det var med Canon 550D jeg tok opp igjen fotograferingen for ti år siden. Dette er et superenkelt kamera, men jammen hadde min 550D flotte jpeg-farger, og det er jpeg man må fotografere familien i, ellers blir det bare til at det hoper seg opp uredigerte bilder. Min 70D ble jeg egentlig aldri helt fornøyd med, samt at kameraet er altfor stort til å ta med på småturer, som hvis man skal på Salt&Pepper eller noe. Og smart-phone skal jeg aldri ha, så dette er ikke et alternativ!
"Best Lenses for Canon EOS Rebel T8i"
Derfor selger jeg min 70D og investerer i en 850D, hvor jeg beholder min gamle EF-S - optikk. Om jeg kjøper en 24 mm eller standard kit-linse får jeg se an, men tror det kan bli 24 mm, da denne er kjempehendig, og da den er f2.8 vil dette tilsvare omtrent 4 stopp stabilisering på samme brennvidde for kit-linsa. 24 mm tilsvarer 35 mm i fullformat, som er den tradisjonelle brennvidden for gatefoto, og innenfor det perspektivet det menneskelige øye ser verden i.
Skal bli skikkelig nostalgisk, og veldig praktisk med dette kameraet, tror jeg😍

Words & Music by Lee Adams & Charles Strouse
From the musical "Bye, Bye Birdie"
Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face!
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face!
Take off that gloomy mask of tragedy,
It's not your style.
You'll look so good that you'll be glad ya decided to smile!
Pick out a pleasant outlook,
Stick out that noble chin,
Wipe off that full-of-doubt look,
Slap on a happy grin!
And spread sunshine all over the place, just
Put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face!
And if you're feeling cross and bickerish
Don't sit and whine.
Think of banana splits and licorice,
And you'll feel fine!
I knew a girl so gloomy,
She'd never laugh or sing,
SHe wouldn't listen to me,
Now she's a mean old thing!
So spread sunshine all over the place, just
Put on a happy face!
