Bereits aus der Frühgeschichte der Menschen gibt es Hinweise darauf, dass die Menschen glaubten und fürchteten, die Toten könnten zurückkehren und möglicherweise den Lebenden Leid antun. Unter anderem wurden in verschiedenen Kulturen Gräber vorgefunden, in denen die Leichen Verstorbener gefesselt waren. Allerdings ist teilweise unklar, ob dies eine Sonderbehandlung oder sogar Hinrichtung für Verbrecher war.
Noch bis ins 18. Jahrhundert herrschte auch in der mitteleuropäischen Bevölkerung große Angst vor der Wiederkehr Verstorbener. So war eine Aufgabe der Totenwache, einen vermeintlichen Verstorbenen zu erschlagen, wenn er sich von dem Totenbett erheben sollte. Dies kam durchaus vor, denn die Methoden, den Tod festzustellen, waren unzuverlässiger als heute.
Die Figur beziehungsweise der Name Zombie zog in die Kulturerzeugnisse der Vereinigten Staaten ein, während Haiti von 1915 bis 1934 unter US-amerikanischer Besatzung stand. Der aus dem Kreolischen (zombi = Gespenst, Totengeist) herrührende Begriff Zombie wurde in den 1920er Jahren vor allem durch US-amerikanische Kinofilme und Comics populär, als das Phänomen des Scheintodes noch kaum ins Bewusstsein der Allgemeinheit eingedrungen war. Nach einer Definition des französischen Ethnologen Michel Leiris sind Zombies „Individuen, die man künstlich in einen Scheintodzustand versetzt, beerdigt, dann wieder ausgegraben und geweckt hat und die infolgedessen folgsam wie Lasttiere sind, da sie ja gutgläubig annehmen müssen, dass sie tot sind.“
Der Ethnobotaniker Wade Davis entdeckte 1982 auf seiner Reise durch Haiti, dass das dabei zur Anwendung kommende Zombie-Gift unter anderem das hochtoxische Tetrodotoxin enthält, und führte die Zombifikation von Menschen darauf zurück. Während Terence Hines vermutet hat, Davis sei einem Hoax aufgesessen, konnte der Autor Natias Neutert als „ethnologischer Detektiv“ die Vermutung von Leiris aus den 1930er Jahren 1994 durch folgenden Befund bestätigen: „Zombie-Gift: Im wesentlichen geraspelte Menschenknochen, zum Sieden gebrachte Krötensekrete und Bestandteile des Fou-fou, eines Kugelfisches, dessen Ovarien hochgiftiges Tetrodotoxin enthalten. Zehn Milligramm davon genügen, einen Menschen ins Jenseits zu befördern. Eine sehr viel geringere Dosis führt den Zustand des Scheintods herbei: Der Atem des Opfers geht nicht mehr, das Herz steht still, die Muskulatur ist gelähmt, sämtliche Stoffwechselfunktionen sind herabgesetzt — bis ganz nah an den klinischen Tod.“ Einleuchtend ist die weit verbreitete Idee, das Zombie-Gift werde mit Juckpulver vermischt auf die Haut des Opfers geblasen, sodass es beim Kratzen durch die dabei entstehenden Wunden aufgenommen wird und in die Blutbahn gelangt. Das Gift ruft rasch die beschriebenen krankheitsähnlichen Symptome hervor, an denen das Opfer scheinbar stirbt — ein Glaube, in dem sowohl die Gemeinde als auch das Opfer selbst befangen ist, solange mangelnde Aufgeklärtheit dies begünstigt. Nach Ansicht des Anthropologen Littlewood und des Neurologen Douyon, die mehrere „Zombies“ detailliert untersuchen konnten, handelt es sich in etlichen Fällen auch um herumirrende, psychisch kranke oder debile Fremde, die sich nicht zurechtzufinden wissen und daher oft fälschlicherweise als vermeintlich Verstorbene identifiziert werden.
The SPAR Great Ireland Run 2013 was held in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland on Sunday 14th April 2013 at 13:10 and 13:30 respectively. The Great Ireland Run is now probably the largest 10KM running event in Ireland. The race also incorporates the AAI National 10km Championships. This category is for club athletes in Ireland only. However, there is also the main field race where anyone, regardless of being with an athletic club or not, can enter and race. The elite women and club women's race started at 13:10 whilst the male club and main field event started at 13:30. The race starts on Chesterfield Avenue and takes a clockwise route - first over to the Blackhorse Avenue sid of the park, crossing Chesterfield avenue again. The race then descends down the Kyber pass before the runners must take the challenge of the famous S-Bends on the Chapelizod side including a steep climb at 7KM. Finally the race winds its way around the Furry Glen, before finishing very close to the starting point of the race.
These photographs are taken at the 7 KM marker on Chapelizod Hill. They are from the time period 13:35 (leading elite women) until all waves have passed this point (approximately 14:42). There are no start or finish line photographs.

I really enjoyed taking these photographs. It is the first time in a long time where I have been able to photograph a race I was not participating in. It was a really great experience. Despite the tough course and the horrible head winds I got so many nods and "hellos" from hundreds of runners I knew there and from thousands of others I have yet to get to know ;-) It is a really great event.

I ran the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set!
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 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.
If you want to contribute something for these images?
We do not charge for these images. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the image(s) you request are good enough that you would ordinarily pay for their purchase we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
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.
Sometimes I feel that the world is a huge lie..
People fake everything -the way they behave, the way the talk and.
I keep on asking myself the question 'why'.
They may do this till they die.
But not realising that all the truth was hidden in their own eyes.

MUKTINATH AND DAMODAR KUND
Muktinath is a sacred place both for Hindus and Buddhists located in Muktinath Valley at an altitude of 3,710 meters at the foot of the Thorong Lamountain pass (part of the Himalayas), Mustang district, Nepal. The site is close to the village of Ranipauwa, which sometimes mistakenly is called Muktinath as well.
Within Hinduism, it is called the sacred place Mukti Kshetra, which literally means the "place of liberation or moksha". This temple is considered to be the 105th among the available 108 Divya Desam, which are considered sacred by the Sri Vaishnava cult. The ancient name of this place in Sri Vaishnavaliterature, before Buddhist origin, is Thiru Saligramam. This houses theSaligrama shila considered to be the naturally available form of SrimanNarayana [1]- the Hindu Godhead. It is also one of the 51 Shakti peethams.[2]The Buddhists call it Chumig Gyatsa, which in Tibetan means 'Hundred Waters'. Although the temple is has a Vaishnava origin, it is also revered in Buddhism. For Tibetan Buddhists, Muktinath-Chumig Gyatsa is a very important place of Dakinis, goddesses known as Sky Dancers and one of the 24 Tantric places. They understand the murti to be a manifestation ofAvalokitesvara.
The Muktinath Temple is considered as a Shakti Peetha. Shakti Peethas are sacred abode of Shakti formed due to the falling of body parts of the corpse ofSati Devi, when Lord Shiva carried it and wandered. There are 51 Shakti Peethas revered by Shaktism connecting them to the 51 alphabets in Sanskrit. Each Shakti Peetha has a Shakti shrine and a Bhairava shrine in the temple. The "Shakti" of Muktinath Shrine is addressed as "Gandaki Chandi" and the "Bhairava" as "Chakrapani". Sati Devi's temple on the forehead is believed to have fallen here. The mythology of Daksha yaga and Sati's self immolation had immense significance in strengthening Shaktism.Sati Devi immolates herself in this mythology. This mythology is the story behind Shakti Peethas By Kailash Mansarovar Foundation Swami Bikash Giri www.sumeruparvat.com , www.naturalitem.com
When I converted from my Nikon to the Olympus EM-5, I did so wholesale. I gave up the excellent 70-200 f/2.8, the very lovely 35mm f/1.8 and a serviceable, but sometimes challenging Tamron SP90 f/2.8 Macro.
In exchange, I got a smaller, lighter body, and a very excellent 12-40 f/2.8 lens (roughly similar to 18-60 on my old Nikon). Overall, I've been happy with the transition; certainly my shoulders have been.
But there are days where I wish I still had that collection of lenses. A 60mm macro is going to be in my future, I think. The bees deserve to look as good in pictures as they do in reality!
And sometimes things in life don't quite go to plan...
I was hoping to get a better photo of 66789 in the lovely winter sun and I had found a good spot. Now 789 did turn up, but at the back of the double header here... I best keep my eyes peeled and hope it comes this way again soon!
Spotted on 4O33 Doncaster IPORT GBRf to Southampton W Docks (GBRf).

Sometimes, i feel patience could be the answer to anything. No matter how much it rains, and how much you get wet, sometimes i think you should enjoy the uncomfortable moment.

Do you know these days when you just feel clumsy and of no use and nothing at work goes (or went) as it should? Well, this is mine today.
Maybe I should go to bed.
Sometimes my head feels as though it is going to explode so many decisions and so many outcomes I tend to wonder if I make the right decisions. I'm stuck at the moment with one of the most hardest decisions yet, time is ticking and I need to decide fast. No matter what option I choose, I sacrifice something. The question is am I strong enough the make the necessary sacrifice.
Sometimes training exercises go awry and jumping out of a plane can cause serious complications. Pictured is pilot Harold Osborn parachuting out of his plane when he then becomes caught on the tail. Luckily Harold would survive this harrowing accident.

"Everything comes too late for those who only wait" : is true and I agree but sometimes you find yourself waiting .
Waiting : "Aspettare" in italian from Latin exspecta¯re >> ex 'from' and specta¯re 'look'.
And so I'm waiting for a rainy day , for a quilt-moment , to go to the cinema to see " Atonement" next week , buy a basket of new books , for his kiss , for saturday , for the tram , for a mail, for looking all your photos and so make the globe feel a little smaller, for a falling star , for that green dress , for my cup of barley coffee in the morning , for a white petal on my windowsill , for that deserved slice of cake , to make an unforgettable shot .
