to seek love,

More than 100 Soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 52nd Aviation Regiment receive cheers of welcome at the 4:30 a.m. redeployment ceremony at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, Oct. 28. 2014.
Following their midnight arrival at the Eielson Air Force Base, after a small reception there, and after waiting patiently through a few mandatory briefings, Soldiers were bussed to Hanger 5 where wide-awake friends and families applauded and held home-made signs. They were accompanied by other Soldiers from the U.S. Army Aviation Task Force, the 9th U.S. Army Band, and the veterans and volunteers of the local VFW Post #3629 who provided a flag-line to show their support. This is their second main body of Soldiers returning from Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Approximately 140 members of 1-52nd AVN remain deployed in support of the 16th Combat Aviation Brigade, and they are expected to return later next month. (U.S. Army photos by Capt.

Joint Task Force-East
NOVO SELO, Bulgaria — U.S. and Bulgarian military personnel joined together for two symbolic ceremonies Sept. 27 and 28 as exercise Lion Strike came to an end.
First, Joint Task Force-East celebrated the ribbon-cutting ceremony for a humanitarian project at a kindergarten in Mokren, Bulgaria. Eleven U.S. Navy personnel from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 40, otherwise known as SeaBees, finished an extensive renovation of the school during the exercise.
The children from the school, along with parents, teachers, school director, local officials and U.S. and Bulgarian military personnel, crowded the small courtyard during the ceremony.
"We say in the United States that the children are our future," said Army Lt. Col. Bruce Sones, commanding officer for JTF-E "Lion Strike".
"We hope through the efforts of those involved in this project that the improved environment created for teaching the children will contribute to the children's development as they grow and become leaders in your society."
The school director, Margarita Nicolova, thanked the SeaBees and then presented them with a picture painted by the children, a CD of Bulgarian folk music, a photo of the children and a glass vial filled with Bulgarian soil.
Of the soil, she said, "Wherever you go, you know you'll have a piece of Bulgaria with you."
The school children then sang several songs for the audience and the ribbon was cut. But, there was another surprise for the children, a HMMWV full of gifts. All of the soldiers, sailors and airmen participating in the exercise had contributed money to buy much-needed school supplies and educational toys for the school.
"We will maintain what you have done, and promise to continue with improvements," said Emil Enchev, mayor of Mokren. "Hopefully we will continue working together in the future."
The next day, all JTF-E "Lion Strike" participants, both U.S. and Bulgarian, came together again, this time to commemorate the end of the exercise during the closing ceremony.
During the ceremony Sones and Col. Biser Kalinov, chief of Training, Bulgarian Land Forces, presented certificates of achievement to 14 U.S. Soldiers and 16 Bulgarian soldiers for their efforts during the exercise.
"During this training, we had the opportunity to gain military experience from the leading force in NATO - the United States Military, and to show that while representing a small army, the Bulgarian officers, Non-commissioned officers and soldiers are honorable partners and excellent professionals," said Kalinov, who spoke first during the ceremony.
He was followed by Sones, who echoed Kalinov's feelings.
"This closing ceremony does not mark the end of a training opportunity or a farewell to relationships fostered," said Sones.
"In our minds, it marks the hopeful commencement of future training opportunities to be conducted between our nations."
"We can truly say the professionalism and generosity of the Bulgarian Land Forces is unrivaled," he continued.
"We know the strong relationship between the United States and Bulgaria, as demonstrated during this exercise, will continue to grow, and we look forward to training and serving with you in the years to come."

The 401st Army field Support Brigade provides Soldiers, Sailors, Airman, and Marines, the tools and resources necessary to complete the mission.

There were a few of these Mids stationed around the grounds. I asked if they were for crowd control and she replied, no, they were for Mid control. I suspect the Mids who came as spectaors had to sign in and out so that they couldn't wander off and go AWOL.
The annual croquet match takes place between the U.S. Naval Academy and St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland. This is the only sport in which the two compete. The two campuses lie less than a half-mile apart. One school was established in 1845, the other in 1696. One has a student body of 4,500, the other 450. Yet tiny St. John’s has dominated the cross-town rivalry, taking the trophy 25 of the 30 years the competition has been going on.
The Naval Academy team is comprised exclusively of members of 28th Company, chosen at the team captain’s discretion. The Midshipmen wear crisp, U.S. Croquet Association “Croquet Whites,” along with a team tie, varying from year to year. The Johnnie uniform changes every year, revealed only minutes before each match. Additionally, several Plebes (first year Midshipmen) in dress mess uniforms serve refreshments to the players.
Spectators come dressed in all manner of finery, with a heavy emphasis on historical tradition, formal dress, ballroom dancewear, or the just plain outlandish. A mixture of live and piped in music playing primarily big band and swing tunes provides the fleet of foot with ample opportunity to step out.
All last week, members of the Spokane Valley Fire Department’s new Rescue Task Force (RTF), Spokane County SWAT, Washington Army National Guard, and Cheney Fire Department learned “Tactical Emergency Casualty Care” from a select group of Special Forces Medics from the Westside.
Recent experiences during mass shootings has taught the nation’s police and fire services that savable lives are being lost because of the time it takes to get to a patient during the emergency. A majority of the fatalities during shootings are due to extreme blood loss and sometimes the simple application of a tourniquet can prevent death. Recognizing this, SVFD and other area fire departments have ramped up teams that will work step for step with the police during shooter incidents. Running scenarios inside the darkened former Crescent building at U-City elevated the level of realism, and punctuated the value of seconds saved.
The volunteer program consists of 12 EMT’s and Paramedics from the Spokane Valley Fire Department. Equipped with special gear purchased by the Department of Emergency Management and in cooperation with other Spokane County agencies, SVFD’s Rescue Task Force will be in place sometime in the first half of 2015.

Digitised image from the Town Hall Photographer's Collection - GB127.M850
The Town Hall Photographer’s Collection is a large photographic collection held in Manchester City Council’s Central Library archives, ranging in date from 1956 to 2007.
The collection consists of tens of thousands of images, covering the varied areas of work of Manchester Corporation and latterly, Manchester City Council.
The photographs were taken by staff photographers, who were tasked to document the work of Corporation/Council departments and, in doing so, captured many aspects of Manchester life and history, including significant changes to the Manchester landscape.
The collection includes many different formats from glass negatives, to slides, prints, CDs and even a couple of cine films.
What is especially exciting is that the majority of these images have never before been available in a digital format and therefore have only ever been seen by a handful of people.
A team of dedicated Staff and Volunteers are currently working on the systematic digitisation of the negatives held within the collection.
This album represents the result of their work to date.
