Here, in this article, we will discuss the generation of computer 1st to 5th. We know that the computer was developed at the beginning of the 16th century. With each generation of computer, it was equipped with more power and more features resulting into the different advantages of computers.
The era of computers is divided into five parts:
|First Generation||1940-1956||Vacuum Tube|
|Third Generation||1964-1971||IC Chip|
|Fifth Generation||1989-Present||Artificial Intelligent|
First Generation of Computer
The beginning of the first generation of computers is considered to be 1940 – 1945. The first-generation computers used vacuum tubes or thermionic valves. These tubes were of huge size. It was complicated to write programs in it. These computers were used only for storing data and viewing it when required.
Some of the first-generation computers are – ENIAC, EDVAC, EDSAC, UNIVAC, etc.
The following are the main features of first-generation computers–
- Vacuum tubes were used as the main electronic components.
- Magnetic drums and magnetic tape were used as the main memory.
- Used to consume a lot of electricity due to which more heat was generated.
- Computers were very large in size (often taking up entire rooms) and slow.
- Punch cards and paper tape were used as input/output devices.
- Machine language was used as the programming language.
Second Generation of Computers
Transistors were used in second-generation computers. The period of second-generation computers is considered to be from 1956 to 1964. The credit for the development of this type of computer is given to the team led by William Shockley who was a native of America. In computers of this generation, magnetic core memory was used to keep the data safe.
Some of the second-generation computers are – UNIVAC 1108, IBM 7094, CDC 3600/1604, and HONEYWELL 400.
The following are the main features of second-generation computers-
- The transistor came into use as the main electronic component.
- Magnetic core and magnetic tape/disk were the main memory.
- Assembly language was used to write instructions.
- Improvements in speed and reliability compared to first-generation computers.
- Punch cards and magnetic tape were used for input/output.
- Compared to first-generation computers, they consumed less power, generated less heat, and were smaller in size.
Third Generation of Computers
The period of third-generation computers is considered between 1964 and 1971. In third-generation computers, Integrated circuits (ICs) were used instead of transistors which were developed by Jack Kilby in the year 1958. Operating System (OS) was used to operate this generation of computers.
Some examples of third-generation computers are – IBM 360/370, Honeywell-6000, PDP-11, etc.
The following are the main features of third-generation computers-
- Integrated circuits (ICs) began to be used as the main electronic components.
- The large magnetic core and the magnetic tape/disk were the main memory.
- Speed and reliability improved greatly from the first two generations.
- The maintenance cost of third-generation computers was also lower.
- The programming languages used were FORTRAN, BASIC, Pascal, COBOL, C, etc.
- The computer system of the third-generation computers was simpler for business use.
Fourth Generation of Computers
The tenure of Fourth Generation computers is considered from 1971 to 1985. Microprocessors were used in computers of this generation. In these computers, high-level languages are used like – C, C++, Java, and Visual Basic.
Some examples of fourth-generation computers are – DEC 10, IBM 4341, STAR 1000, ZX-Spectrum, Macintosh, etc.
The following are the main features of fourth-generation computers-
- Fourth-generation computers used Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits.
- The production cost was very low, which made it available to the common people as well.
- Keyboard, monitor, and printer are used for input and output devices.
- Fourth-generation computers became portable.
- Semiconductor memory like RAM, ROM, etc. was being used.
- Improve speed, accuracy, and reliability.
Fifth Generation of Computers
Fifth-generation computers were equipped with modern systems whose tenure is going on from 1985 till now. These computers are equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI). High-level languages are used in computers of this generation like – C, C++, java, python, etc. Computers of this generation are used in every field such as education, industry, technology, and subjects related to daily work.
Some examples of fifth-generation computers are -Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, Smartphones, etc.
The following are the main features of Fifth generation computers-
- Fifth-generation computers are based on Ultra Large-Scale Integration (ULSI) technology.
- This computer generation consumes less power and produces less heat.
- Capable of understanding natural language (human language).
- Fifth-generation computers had a higher capacity and larger memory capacity.
- Significant improvements in speed, accuracy, and reliability compared to fourth-generation computers.
- Working with computers of this generation was fast and multiple tasks could be done simultaneously.
In this article, we learned about the Generation of Computer 1st to 5th. We found that the computer generation tells us about the changes in computer development and technology. It is known that the world is moving towards extreme modernity as compared to earlier when we get to see its many benefits. At the same time, it also has many disadvantages.
Hopefully, through this post Generation of Computers, you must have come to know about all five generations of computers very well.

"Jimmy Carter: "Iraq Invasion...One Of The Greatest Blunders That American Presidents Have Ever Made"..."
Blunder? During the Bush Administration, the U.S. conquered TWO medium sized countries, Afghanistan and Iraq. The USSR spent 7 years trying to conquer Afghanistan and failed. The US did it in 7 weeks. In ANY other country, this would have been called "great achievement", "glorious victory" or "greatest leader".
Of course we could understand why Mr. Carter is jealous of Bush's great achievements, considering how much of a failure Mr. Carter was when he was president.


Looking for a fabulous venue to see a concert or attend a film festival? We highly recommend the Fox Tucson Theatre, foxtucson.com, located at 17 W. Congress Street, downtown Tucson. The acoustics are excellent. The Art Deco interior is magnificent. You can even rent it for special events.
The Fox Theatre is an important piece of Tucson history. According to its website, the Fox opened in 1930 as a vaudeville theatre and cinema. When it closed in 1974, it fell into a terrible state of disrepair and sat empty for 25 years.
It was purchased in 1999 by the non-profit Fox Tucson Theatre Foundation. Six years and $14 million later, the theatre was restored and once again reigns as a beautiful jewel in Tucson’s crown.
I had the honor of playing my violin there recently in the orchestra pit and I can think of no better place for a musician to play. It is truly a lovely and inspired venue.


Rotary is an international membership organization made up of people who share a passion for and commitment to enhancing communities and improving lives across the world. Rotary clubs exist in almost every country. Our members change lives locally and connect with other clubs to work on international projects that address today’s most pressing challenges. Being a member is an opportunity to take action and make a difference, and it brings personal rewards and lifelong friendships in the process.
Rotary club membership represents a cross-section of the community’s business and professional men and women. The world’s Rotary clubs meet on a regular basis and are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds.
WHAT WE VALUE
Rotary was founded on principles that remain at the heart of the organization today. These principles reflect our core values — integrity, diversity, service, leadership, and fellowship, or friendship. Our core values emerge as themes in our guiding principles.
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
We’ve been making history and bringing our world closer together for over 100 years. The first Rotary club was started in Chicago, Illinois, USA, in 1905 by an attorney named Paul Harris. Harris wanted to bring together a group of professionals with different backgrounds and skills as a way to exchange ideas and form meaningful acquaintances. In August 1910, the 16 Rotary clubs then in the United States formed the National Association of Rotary Clubs, now Rotary International. In 1912, Rotary expanded to a few more countries, and by July 1925, Rotary clubs existed on six continents. Today, there are more than 35,000 clubs, in almost every country in the world.

The crowning achievement of the English architect Sir Christopher Wren, St. Paul's Cathedral was built between 1675 and 1710 to replace the old St. Paul's, which was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. At 365 feet high, the dome of the cathedral is the world's second largest after St. Peter's in Rome, as spectacular from inside as outside. I have fun asking people what this is a picture of 99% of everyone I ask says it is a church, the only person to say its a wheel was my nine year old.

In honor and celebration of Black History Month, our committee wanted to take a few moments to remember how our agricultural landscape and system has been shaped by a history of slavery and structural racism, honor influential black agriculturalists, and recognize that these racial inequities still exist today. Just over two centuries ago, the “shipping of enslaved Africans was morally indistinguishable from shipping textiles, wheat, or even sugar” (Eltis, 2018) and these enslaved peoples were only seen as a crucial labor source for economic development in America. To this day, inequities in the agricultural space persist with White farmers owning 98% and operating 94% of all farmland in the U.S. and People of Color farmers “were more likely to be tenants rather than owners, owned less land, and generated less farm-related wealth per person than their White counterparts” (Horst and Marion, 2019).

The Eisenhower Dollar series ran from 1971-1978. It is the last large dollar issued by the us mint.
There are two basic reverses and two basic varieties. The first reverse has a the moon landing as it's theme. An American eagle is landing on the surface of the moon as was said "the eagle has landed".
The second reverse was to celebrate the 1976 bicentennial. It depicts the liberty bell superimposed on the moon.
The first 'variety' often referred to as type 1 shows the inscription 'United States of America with a bold type. The second a lighter or less bold type. Compare the type in our picture provided. See the difference in type?


Commercial Sturgeon Fishery
it did not start as early as the commercial fishery in the eastern
part of North America, the early Manitoba fishery followed almost
exactly the same path. An initial period of high production was
followed by a dramatic and permanent decline.
Large scale commercial sturgeon fishing began in Manitoba on Lake
Winnipeg when the railway linked Manitoba with eastern markets in
1887. By 1896 production reached 80,000 kg, and in 1900 it peaked
at almost 450,000 kg. With these levels of harvest, the sturgeon
population was depleted rapidly and the Lake Winnipeg fishery was
closed in 1910 after production dropped dramatically to only 13,600
Sturgeon fishing was reopened in 1916 to meet demands resulting
from World War I, and 54,000 kg was produced. However, by 1920 production
dropped to 3,400 kg. Increased prices between 1922 and 1928 caused
resurgence in sturgeon fishing, but after 1924 production dropped
dramatically. The Lake Winnipeg sturgeon population never recovered
from this early exploitation that removed a total 2,808,865 kg of
The sturgeon fishery in northern Manitoba started in 1907 and centered
on the Nelson River. Intensive fishing did not begin until 1917
when production peaked at almost 70,000 kg. Catches declined rapidly
after 1924 and the fishery had to be closed in 1929.
In 1936, a review of the status of sturgeon in Manitoba documented
the catastrophic decline in production and populations from 1900
to 1910. The review concluded that slow growth dooms the sturgeon
when faced with intense fishing pressure. The potential harvest
for the entire province was estimated at less than 4,500 kg, and
there were worries that even that low level of harvest might be
The Nelson River fishery was reopened in 1937, but production peaked
at less than 14,000 kg in 1938, and began to decline after 1941.
By 1946, stocks were considered depleted, and the commercial fishery
was closed again. It reopened again in 1953 and production remained
steady at about 13,000 kg until 1957 and then declined rapidly until
fishing was closed again 1960. It was reopened again in 1970 with
much more restrictive quotas, mesh sizes, size limits and seasons,
and remained open with relatively constant production until 1991.
The Nelson River commercial sturgeon fishery was closed in 1992
and is unlikely to reopen in the foreseeable future. Over its brief
history, a total of 618,404 kg were removed, over 60% of which was
during the first decade of the fishery.
This was the fourth time in the history of the Nelson River sturgeon
fishery that the fishery had to be closed. The last period of fishing,
from 1970 to 1991, lasted twice as long as any of the previous fisheries
(each of which lasted less than 10 years before collapsing).
Sturgeon Stock Status
In Manitoba sturgeon have gone from being widely distributed and
abundant when the province was first settled, to the situation today
where there are significantly fewer populations with a relatively
small number that are not stressed and remain healthy and self-sustaining.
Most of these populations are in remote areas.
The most significant populations of sturgeon in Manitoba occur in
our major rivers and Lake Winnipeg. Populations are still present
in the Nelson, Churchill, Winnipeg and Saskatchewan Rivers. There
appears to be only remnant populations remaining in Lake Winnipeg.
While scientific information is limited, indicators are that most
of the populations on the Nelson and Saskatchewan Rivers are under
varying degrees of stress. Data on Churchill River sturgeon stocks
is limited. However, it is felt that there are limited remaining
populations, which are for the most part unsustainable.
There are pockets of sturgeon populations that remain healthy and
self-sustaining. These occur on the Hayes River and its tributaries
and in Round Lake on the Pigeon River system. Kautunigan Lake on
the Bloodvein River also supports a sturgeon population, though
it is small and may not be sustainable.
History of Lake Sturgeon in Manitoba
J.M. Waddell writes:
"prior to 1903 when the locks were built at Lockport
on the Red River, this was probably the greatest place in all of
Canada, if not the world, to catch freshwater sturgeon. The Aboriginals
claimed that when the sturgeon ran in June you could almost walk
across the river on their backs."
"In October, 1903 Sandy Waddell, who operated a
mill in Dominion City, killed a 400 pound sturgeon measuring 15
feet in length. The sturgeon, it would seem, had spent most of its
strength trying to escape its prison in the pool where sustenance
and water were becoming more scarce each day. It must have been
entrapped since early summer. Its age was estimated at one hundred
and fifty years and because sturgeon return to the river of their
birth each year, this mighty fish must have made many trips from
Lake Winnipeg up the Red River, and then into the clear waters of
the Roseau River."
Sturgeon were highly prized by Aboriginal peoples who considered
them the "buffalo of the water." A single sturgeon yielded
more meat than dozens of smaller species, the flesh smoked well,
and sturgeon proved easy prey during spawning when they congregated
in large numbers. Aboriginals used all parts of the sturgeon, making
soup from the cartilaginous "backbone" and using tailbones
as arrowheads for small game.
Early settlers and fishermen scorned the sturgeon as a nuisance
fish of little food or commercial value. Sturgeon caught in nets
set for "valuable fish" were dumped in the water or piled
on shore for pig feed, cord wood, or fertilizer.
Not so across the Atlantic. The food of pigs was the fish of kings,
so decreed by King Edward II of England who made sturgeon a royal
fish. Later, lake sturgeon eggs, once feed to hogs, were sought
after in Europe as a new source of caviar. The demand transformed
sturgeon from a worthless nuisance to the most valuable commercial
freshwater fish in North America.


Umbria is famous for historical hill towns and beautiful countryside. Its sizeable cypress forests in addition to pine and chestnut trees distingish the lush countryside. In addition, Umbria is easy to reach from the big tourism hubs of central Italy and yet relatively uncrowded even at the height of the tourism season.

Bornova Veterinary Control Institute were established as a Regional Custom Laboratory operating under The Ministry of Agriculture in 1933 and this laboratory was active until 1949. In this year, due to the growing need for veterinary services in the Izmir province paralleled with the development of the country, this laboratory was enlarged and moved to its current location with the approval of the Ministry of Agriculture. The capacity of this laboratory was enhanced and gained the name "Veterinary Vaccine, Serum and Biological Materials Control and Research Institute".
In 1953 the name was shortened to "Veterinary Control and Research Institute" and the institute functioned as an associated establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture under this title till 1985. In 1986, institution was renamed according to the Ministry directives as "Animal Vaccines Control Center Directorate". Institute which worked under this title reverted back to its old name "Veterinary Control and Research Institute" with the approval of the Ministry. Manisa Poultry Diseases Research and Vaccine Production Institute was closed by the Council of Ministers in 2004 and all staff and assets transferred to the Bornova Veterinary Control and Research Institutes. In manisa establishment finalizing the production of vaccines, SPF units were continued to the activities. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has been restructured in 2011 by Decree No. 639. Once again the name of the institute was changed to Izmir / Bornova Veterinary Control Institute. Although the name changed a number of times, the principles and activities of the institute remained the same.


Hutto is the only community in the United States to use the hippo as its mascot. There are several stories that explain how the hippopotamus became Hutto’s official mascot. The most popular tells of a circus train that stopped at the depot in 1915, most likely to take on passengers, pick up mail and water and feed the animals. During this historic stop, it is said that a hippo escaped and made its way to nearby Cottonwood Creek. Farmers and merchants watched in amusement as unsuccessful efforts were made to extricate the troublesome hippo from the muddy waters. Soon after the incident, the Hutto School adopted the hippo as its mascot.
In 2003, the Texas Legislature recognized Hutto as the “Official Hippo Capital of Texas.” The Hutto Chamber of Commerce arranged for a seven-ton concrete hippo named “Henrietta” to be placed along East Street in 1986. The fast-growing city of Hutto is also home to a herd of smaller concrete hippos which stand outside homes, businesses and public buildings as a symbol of community pride. Many are painted to reflect the unique character of the owner or business it represents.


About Us - Our History and LIP
St. Peter's School was established in Unity in 1959 by a small group of parishioners who had a strong desire for Catholic education in our community. We began Sept. of 1959 with 143 students enrolled in grades 1-8 with five classrooms in operation, which grew to 3 more classrooms and 226 students! In 1972, the addition of a library, gymnasium and another classroom took place. Our school underwent an extensive reno in 1983 to create a larger resource centre, gym service area and office space, and 4 new classrooms. We are blessed to continue offering Catholic education to many students in the area and are grateful for the amazing support of our community, local Knights of Columbus and CWL for their prayers and financial donations over the years. We are also grateful to be so closely connected to St. Peter's Catholic church which is situated right next door to our school.


In 2007, the Delta Waterfowl Foundation graciously donated the David Winton Bell Memorial Library to Long Point Waterfowl. Charlie Bell established the library circa 1958 in memory of his son David who was killed in the Korean War. Between 1958 and 2007, the library was housed at the Delta Waterfowl Research Station located on the south shore of Lake Manitoba’s famed Delta Marsh. While at Delta, many graduate students and professional waterfowl ecologists drew upon the library’s scholarly publications and books to learn about wetland and waterfowl ecology and conservation, which in turn helped them develop research hypotheses, project proposals, publish research findings, and critique the work of other scientists.
The David Winton Bell Memorial Library transfer to Long Point Waterfowl will ensure that all the associated history, tradition, and scientific productivity will continue on into the future. The David Winton Bell Memorial Library, which retains it long-standing name, is housed at Long Point Waterfowl’s Research and Education Centre and is currently fully operational. This important addition to the Research and Education Centre is a great asset to Long Point Waterfowl staff and to our present and future graduate students. Thus, Long Point Waterfowl would like to thank the Bell family and Delta Waterfowl Foundation for this generous contribution.
Long Point Waterfowl is currently preparing an electronic catalogue of this collection. Once complete, the catalogue will be available online.

"Golf" may refer to the game of golf, while "golf cart" may refer to the small electric vehicles used in the game of golf. The following is an overview of the history of golf and golf carts:
Golf (Golf) History:
Golf is an outdoor sport that originated in Scotland and is considered a sport with a long history. The origins of golf can be traced back to the 15th century, when the first golf courses appeared in the Highlands of Scotland. Golf began as a walking leisure activity, but developed into a professional competitive sport.
Late 19th and Early 20th Century: During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, golf spread rapidly to other regions, including England, the United States and other countries. Golf rules and standards were developed, courses became more complex, and clubs and tournaments emerged.
20th Century: The 20th century was a period of growth for the game of golf. Professional golf tournaments such as the U.S. Masters and the British Open became world-class sporting events. Golfers such as Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods rose to prominence.
Modern Golf: Today, golf remains a popular sport that attracts millions of enthusiasts and professionals. Golf courses are located all over the world and players use a variety of clubs to try and hit the ball into the marker while following strict rules and etiquette.
Golf Cart History:
Golf carts are small electric or fuel-powered vehicles used to transport golfers and their golf equipment. They are commonly used on golf courses to allow players to move quickly to different holes.
Origin: The history of golf carts dates back to the early 1900s. The earliest golf carts were wheelbarrows or pull carts, but as technology evolved, electric and fuel-powered golf carts began to appear.
Electric Golf Carts: Electric golf carts became popular in the mid-20th century. They are usually battery powered and are able to move quickly and noiselessly around the course. This type of golf cart is still the most common type.
Modern Golf Carts: Modern golf carts usually have a variety of features including high tech control panels, charging ports, canopies, and storage space to meet the needs of the player.
Overall, both the game of golf and golf carts have undergone a long history and technological evolution to become a popular recreational activity and competitive sport. The introduction of golf carts has made it easier for players to traverse the course, improving the efficiency and convenience of the game.


We are a peasant family, committed to the territory and especially to our crops: the orchard for our own consumption, the almond, and mainly the olive with which we produce, through the cooperative of La Bisbal de Falset, our extra virgin oil “MONTSACER” or as we like to say: liquid gold.
Cal Bellardino is a farmhouse built in 1900 and located on Carrer les Eres. At that time the Eres were on the streets around the village and were used to throw the wheat into the air and with the help of the wind separate the grain (falls easy because it has more weight) from the straw, that flies away.
In 1998 we bought Cal Bellardino in order to fulfill the main function of hosting the seasonal workers during the olive harvest season. It served us for a long time, but by the end of the 2010s the house was no longer in use and had become old.
At this point we decided to start a new project, always linked to work in the field. After reforms and improvements, with great enthusiasm, we opened the doors of Cal Bellardino in September 2020.

The Tank, Infantry, Mk III, Valentine was an infantry tank produced in the United Kingdom during World War II. More than 8,000 of the type were produced in eleven marks, plus various specialised variants, accounting for approximately a quarter of wartime British tank production. The many variants included riveted and welded construction, petrol and diesel engines and a progressive increase in armament. It was supplied in large numbers to the USSR and built under licence in Canada. It was used extensively by the British in the North African campaign. Developed by Vickers, it proved to be both strong and reliable.
This LoRA seems to favour the IX/XI (both long barrels) but if that bothers you you're in the wrong line of work! As usual, seems to behave well around 0.80, and makes a passable Bren Carrier down at 0.4 if you're lucky.
prompt: valentine tank
This vehicle has a massive disability (it's name!) so if your image fills with love hearts, it's because I love you... mwah! (increase the strength/use a neg)
If you're enjoying these models, please consider buying me a coffee, it really helps.


Ketura is located 50 kilometers north of Eilat in the Arava rift, a uniquely tranquil region of Israel. The kibbutz itself is lush and green, situated against the stark desert landscape, which, in turn, is framed by two mountain walls. While the desert summers can be difficult, the Arava is renowned for its mild, sunny winters, and a wealth of desert fauna and flora awaits those who would seek it out.
Ketura was founded by a small group of young Americans, graduates of the Young Judaea Year-in-Israel Course, at the close of the Yom Kippur War in November 1973. The first years of the kibbutz were marked by great difficulties and frustrations, leading many of the founders to leave. In time, the core group of those who remained was joined by other Young Judaeans, a variety of immigrants, and graduates of the Israeli Scout movement.
As Ketura grew, a more stable lifestyle was created, and the members began raising families in their new home. Today, Ketura has grown to be the second-largest settlement in the region, with 140 members and candidates and over 140 children. One-third of the members are native Israelis; the majority of the immigrants come from English-speaking countries with a smaller number from Europe and the former USSR.

The Cascades, formerly known as the Silver Strands, are an American vocal group. Originally created in 1960 in San Diego, California by a group of United States Navy personnel, the band has seen numerous changes and today consists of Gabe Lapano on lead vocals, Tony Grasso on bass guitar, with Jim Owens on drums, and Eddie Snyder on lead guitar.
Their first release, "There's A Reason," became a small regional hit; in the summer of 1962, they went to Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles to record a song Gummoe wrote in his Navy days on watch during a thunderstorm.
The band released the song "Rhythm of the Rain" in 1963 and has been described as one of the last great songs of the pre-Beatles era. The single sold over one million copies, rising to #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and #5 in the UK Singles Chart.
The band split in 1975 but has since reformed in 1995 and 2004, touring the US and the Philippines, where they had a loyal fan base.اقرا المزيد

Vespa history began more than a century ago, precisely 1884. Piaggio company was founded in Genoa, Italy in 1884 by Rinaldo Piaggio. Business Rinaldo began ship equipment. But at the end of the century, Piaggio was also producing rail train, Wagon Train, Truck body, engine and train. In World War I, the company manufactures and Naval Aircraft. In 1917 Piaggio bought a new plant in Pisa, and four years later Rinaldo took over a small plant in Pontedera in the Tuscany region of Italy.
The factory in Pontedera which became centers of production aircraft and their components (propeller, engine and aircraft) During World War II, the Pontedera factory making aircraft engines P108 for two passengers and a bomber version.
At the end of World War II, Piaggio factory bombed by allied aircraft. After the war, Enrico Piaggio Piaggio took over from his father (Rinaldo Piaggio). At that time the Italian economy is suffering, Enrico decided to design a cheap means of transportation.
Enrico company decided to focus attention on issues that people need personal Mobility Italia. Then join the Corradino D'Ascanio, talented aviation engineers who design, conceptualize and Modern His first Piaggio fly helicopters.
D'Ascanio made the design simple, economical, comfortable and elegant. D'Ascanio dreamed of a revolutionary new vehicle. By taking a picture of the aircraft technology, he imagined a vehicle built with a "monocoque" or uni body steel chassis.
Tyres front forks like landing a plane where it is easy for replacement tires. The result is a design that is inspired from the aircraft to date different from the other vehicle.
Then in 1945, the construction of an alternative is found. Originally was a concept motorcycle iron framed with rounded curves like a tunnel. Surprisingly, it turns staternya parts designed using bomb components and wheels taken from aircraft wheels.
In order to optimize the shape and the security of its users, the manufacturer at that time was regarded as an attempt to'' pavement'' design board feet on the front cover. The project is directly led by Corradino d'Ascanio. Therefore, patents soon be their pocket.
As a result, there appeared first MP5 series motor products. These vehicles are technologically simple, but has a very interesting shape, like an animal stinger (bees / wasps) because of the shape skeleton.
However, because of the security cover like a surfboard, a number of workers at the Piaggio factory would even say as a motor Paperino. Please remember, Paperino is cynical satire to figure Donald Duck (duck). So, d'Ascanio was reasonable to fix the rotary model.
D'ascanio only takes a few days to re-conceptualize the shape and design of the vehicle was named MP6 prototype. When Enrico Piaggio saw protototip MP6, he accidentally called out "Sambra Una Vespa" (looks like a wasp). Finally, from the call by accident, it was decided the vehicle is called 'Vespa' (wasps in Indonesian).
In April 1946, this MP6 prototype began mass-produced in the Piaggio factory in Pontedera, Italy. At the end of 1949, 35,000 units have been in production and in 10 years has been producing 1 million units and in mid-1950. During the 1960's and 1970's Vespa became the symbol of revolutionary idea at the time.
Subsequent developments, this product apparently hit by the market of France, Britain, Belgium, Spain, Brazil, and India - in addition to the domestic market of these products sell like hotcakes. In addition, India also produces the same type and shape by taking the machine Bajaj.
Your options are Bajaj and Bajaj Super Deluxe. A number of parties then filed a joint application to create a Vespa. Then in 1950 comes the 125 cc Vespa made in Germany.
At that time, many other countries are trying to make similar products, but it turns out they were not at all able to compete with Piaggio. Among the competitors is Lambretta, Heinkel, Zundapp and NSU. For the people of Indonesia, Lambretta products and Zundapp, was popular in the 1960's.
Inquired had inquired, bigotry against Vespa apparently arising from the features of the basic form of this motor is always maintained at each subsequent product. Even when they do'' revolution'' spelled out in the form of new products, the Vespa 150 GS, distinctiveness voluptuous ass still feels attached.
Product 150 GS - at that time known as Vespamore and almost always appear in every movie of the 1960s - indeed steering and headlights start to be made together. But, on the whole much less shape ass, really still rounded.
And the story continues today with a new generation of Vespa models, offering Vespa ET2, Vespa ET4, Vespa Granturismo and the Vespa PX150. Vespa is not just a scooter but one of the Icon of the people of Italy.

Henry Moret: one of the most impressive post-impressionist painters
Moret first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1880, presenting La plage de Locqueltas à marée basse; côte de Bretagne. He maintained contact with his former teacher Ernest Corroller, often returning to Brittany.
In 1888, he arrived in Pont-Aven which had begun to attract a number of artists, with Paul Gauguin playing the leading role.
Moret was one of the first painters to move to nearby Le Pouldu which soon became the new centre of attraction for the Pont-Aven artists.
After Gauguin left the area in 1891, Moret began to develop his own style. In 1895 he established a fruitful relationship with the famous art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel with an emphasis on Impressionism.

Central Mongolia is beautiful, pristine and rich in wild species and has been keeping many important historical and cultural remains of different historical periods. In central Mongolia, you can discover breathtaking natural beauties, nomadic life, interesting cultural and historical items.
Central Mongolia varies in landscapes as the Gobi desert representative area, rolling hills, grasslands and lush green valleys of forested and bare mountains. The general picture of central Mongolia is sights of nomads’ white gers and their numerous animals grazing fenceless and continuously changing landscapes while driving from the attraction to attraction, from a scenic place to another scenic place. An example of this is: When you travel Mongolia you won’t see big fences to keep animals inside of it. Maybe some small fences close to some gers to protect their herd to be lost in the stormy days and protect their animals from wolves at night in some places. Once, our client saw a large fence had tall grasses in it while traveling and asked the guide about it. Then they found that the grass inside the fence is preserved to cut and feed animals in winter as an emergency feed. Then they had a joke that the farmers of the most countries keep the animals inside barn or fence, but for Mongolians, the fence is to keep animals outside of it.
Vast valley of the Orkhon River is located within 360 to 400 km southeast of Ulaanbaatar. This broad valley attracted attentions of rulers of different Mongol States. Many ancient Mongol States established their capital in this valley such as the capital of Huns State( 209BC-98AD), Syanbi State (1st to 3rd centuries), Nirun State (330-555 AD), Turkic State (552-745AD), Uigur State (750-850AD) and Kidan State. Kharakhorum was a capital of the Great Mongol Empire between 1220-1380. The history says Genghis Khaan chose the Orkhon River Valley and issued a decree to build the capital city there by the Khaan's 15th years anniversary of the reign. The building process of the Kharakhorum city started in 1220 and continued by his successor Ogoodei Khaan. 413 silver coins of over 10 different countries found from the city's site guaranteed that the city was more like trade center than a capital city and was one of the important stops on Silk Road. It surrounded by 4 by 4 km walls had 4 main gates. Different trade went on every gate. Residents of the city classified by their rank. There were over 10 temples, churches and mosques in Kharakhorum. The city was totally sacked by warriors of Chinese Min dynasty in 1380. Now, there is the Kharakhorum Museum display remnants of the ancient city Kharkhorum.
One of the destroyed monasteries of Kharakhorum city started to rebuild using old building materials of the Kharakhorum city in 1586 by a decree of Abtaisain Khan who was the 29th golden generation of Genghis Khaan. Erdenezuu is the largest and oldest monastery in Mongolia. By 1793, there were 62 temples, over 500 gers and houses resided by 10000 monks. In 1937, the communists destroyed many of the monastery's temples. Now, Erdenezuu Monastery consists of 28 temples and serving as a museum displaying masterpieces of Tankas, appliqués, embroideries and sculptures of the 17th -19th centuries. An old Tibetan style temple is an active temple where about 40 monks chant every day in warm seasons. The temples were built by Tibetan, Chinese and Mongolian architectures without using a single nail.
Tovhon monastery was built on the 2312 m rocky top of Shiveet Ulaan Mountain by Zanabazar as a creation temple and meditation center in 1654. Zanabazar was a leader of Mongolian Buddhism, first Bogd (living Buddha), a famous painter, sculptor and created the Soyombo alphabet in the monastery. The first letter of this alphabet is used as a national emblem on the Mongolian flag. Zanabazar created Green Tara and many famous creations in the monastery. The monastery had 14 temples. Some of the temples were destroyed by soldiers of Oirat Mongol/eastern Mongolian Khan Galdnboshigt; his view was against Zanabazar's submission to Manchu. Some of the temples also destroyed by the 1930s communist purge. Now, there are four temples and two stupas. The monastery's chanting activity recovered in 1992. The temples and stupas restored in 2001. The monastery registered in UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage in 1996. The monastery is not the only attraction. Also, the surroundings of the monastery itself and the Orkhon River Valley views are fascinating from the top of the mountain. The valley of the Orkhon River is full of historical remnants. Views of nomadic dwelling gers and their countless animals pasturing freely in the wild make your tour more impressive with some visits to the nomad families and the nomadic experiences. We recommend Tovhon Monastery for people who like hiking and active tour.
Hugnu Khan Mountain is located at the distance of 280 km southwest of Ulaanbaatar by the paved road. This majestic mountain has been worshipping by locals since ancient times until today. The mountain and its surrounding are special as it represents forest, mountain steppe and desert zone in an area. The mountain has some wild animals such as wild mountain sheep, ibex, lynx, deer, wolf, fox, hare, many birds of prey and much more. The mountain has been keeping some historical items such as ancient tombs, burial mounds, rock inscriptions, rock drawings and ruins of monasteries. Two monasteries, named Old and Young monasteries were sacked by soldiers of Galdanboshigt and monks were castrated while tied in rope. So the mountain was named Hugnu Khan meaning “a mountain where people tied in a rope.” You can travel around the mountain hiking, driving, riding a horse or a camel. The area surrounding the mountain is considered the northern edge of the Gobi (Elsentasarkhai) and you can be in the Gobi representative area not traveling to the far south, ride camels through sand dunes, ride horses on the steppes and experience the nomadic life while staying with nomads.

Ribb was designed by Stig Lindberg and launched at the large home exhibition in Helsingborg in 1955, H55.
Ribb was first produced between 1955-1974 and has been in new production since 2003. Since 2003, the tableware is called only Ribb and all parts are in bone porcelain. It was previously called Spisa Ribb, but “Spisa” has been removed because this related to the porcelain model used at the time. Periodically, the brown edge has been hand-painted, since 2003 both the edge and the lines are in décor print.


Michael Jordan is one of the greatest basketball players of all time and this is largely due to his success both on the court and off the court. One of the main things that he is famous for, besides the fact that he is a talented basketball player, is the fact that he has developed one of the most popular sports shoes of all time that makes him Millionaires. The show has gone through an interesting history and has been redesigned into many different shapes and styles. In this article we will take a look at the history of the shoe.
History of the Shoe
The first shoe was designed in 1985 and quickly developed into a popular model of basketball shoe due to the notoriety that quickly developed around the initial design of the shoe. It was created with the idea that it would stand out but this got it banned initially due to the fact that the colours did not fit the rules of NBA. It was subsequently banned. Further models continued to develop in style and quickly developed the popularity of the shoe to a new level. Michael Jordan net worth is something that can be counted on.
Before the Jordan shoe, all basketball shoes were white. Michael Jordan redefined the basketball shoe and has developed a new shoe every year since the first shoe was released in 1984. There are now 31 different models, with different variations of the models and these have all become incredibly popular. Demand for the shoe is always at a high level and a constant innovation in design is always the key focus. Michael Jordan was originally not interested in the Nike shoe company and instead wished to work with Converse or Adidas. However, these two shoe companies were not interested. Michael Jordan was advised by his manager to use Nike and set a deal. Nike was struggling at the time as a show company, but quickly developed in power thanks to the popularity of the shoe.

Somerfield came to be in 1818. However, advances in transportation left it behind. During the 1930's paved roads started replacing dirt & gravel, allowing people to drive farther and faster. Many of the small "stop-off" towns weren't needed anymore. This, combined with the government's plans to build a dam on the Youghiogheny, spelled doom for the town. Eventually, the government bought the land and forced it's 176 residents to relocate. In the 1940's the town was demolished and flooded
The town is usually under water. During times of extreme drought, you can walk down into the lakebed and walk the streets of Somerfield. The streets, sidewalks and foundations are still there, along with an old arch bridge. In addition you'll find an assortment of items people felt the best way to dispose of was to toss them overboard...... wheelchairs, engine blocks... etc.
Granted, these images aren't some of my most artistic or visually pleasing works. Not exactly something you would hang over your couch. But they provide an interesting glimpse of our past that's normally a hundred feet under water.


Dr. Kathleen Deagan
Dr. Kathleen Deagan, Distinguished Research Curator of Archeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, presented a public lecture entitled, “Archaeology at Columbus’ First American Town: La Isabela 1493-1498”. The lecture discussed and illustrated new understanding of the Columbian venture revealed by archeology.
Deagan is internationally recognized as one of the leading archeologists who specialize in the Spanish Colonial period. She has conducted research in St. Augustine, Fla. since 1972 and the Caribbean since 1979. Her research has focused on Spanish colonization in Florida and the Caribbean, particularly on cultural development in response to the environment and the social realities of colonization. She has meticulously documented the earliest Spanish occupation of the Caribbean in the town of La Isabela, Christopher Columbus' first town in the New World.
Deagan also presented a classroom lecture, "Historical Archaeology in St. Augustine, Florida; revealing the unwritten past," at 9 a.m. in room 1-303 of the TLC building discussing 30 years of archaeology in St. Augustine. After this lecture, she met with anthropology students at a noon reception in room 304 of the Pafford Building.


The Church of God in Ridgewood
On top of a green hill sits the scenically welcoming Church of God in Ridgewood. It has served the Bergen County community through countless volunteer efforts and family events. In 2013, the Church of God in Ridgewood mobilized more than 1200 members to be trained as first responders by the Bergen County Police Office of Emergency Management. At that time, the Church was awarded a Certificate of Commendation by former Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan in recognition of its dedication to disaster relief in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. And in 2014, it received a proclamation by former Pompton Lakes Mayor Kathleen Cole for its selfless acts in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene.

Hike Guatemala?s Scenic Lake Atitlan Area
Travel Editor, Emma Spencer Living
With a breathtaking view of Lake Atitlan, it’s easy to spend hours poolside or on the many terraces and decks at La Casa Colibri. But if you ever get tired of all that relaxation, one of the best ways to experience the Mayan towns around the country’s most beautiful lake is on foot. Here’s a guide to some of the best scenic hikes in our little corner of Guatemala.
Onion Fields/Mountainside Lookout
This hike is perfect if you want to simply walk out of La Casa Colibri’s door and get moving. It takes just 10 minutes to reach the starting point for this scenic hike to the Santa Catarina Palopo lookout at Aguas Escondidas. The walk through town is a sight in itself, where local women can be observed weaving on black looms and many Mayan descendants still wear the colorful garb of their ancestors. Winding your way through alleyways and terraced onion fields, you’ll emerge at the trailhead at the top of the village. Following the diagonal mountainside path will take you to a scenic lookout point over 1,000 feet from where you began, bringing you to an elevation of 5,200 feet. There, you’ll enjoy expansive views that will take your breath away. Although the payoff at the end of this 2-3 hour hike is well worth the effort, it can be a bit strenuous. Be sure to bring plenty of water and take your time, enjoying the views, sights, and sounds of nature as you go. You best bet is to start this hike early in the morning—not only to provide yourself with plenty of time, but also to take advantage of the morning shade and cooler temperatures.
Tour the Towns
Another option is to take a 15-minute water taxi ride to the picturesque bay of Paxanax and tour the towns along Lake Atitlan. A 40-minute lakeside hike brings you to the adjacent village of Jaibalito, where our concierge recommends stopping at Club Ven Aca for a tasty lunch before continuing on your adventure. Walk along the lake another 40 minutes and you’ll arrive at Tznuna, a small, traditional Tzutuhil Mayan village where the buildings are still made of adobe mud brick. Here, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time to a simple, historic way of life. After wandering around the village, keep going another 40 minutes to San Marcos La Laguna, where you can indulge in (or simply watch) some cliff diving into the lake. Once you’re refreshed, continue your journey to San Pablo La Laguna, another traditional village that features all of the charm and tradition of Mayan Guatemala. At this point, you can either head back to La Casa Colibri or take a pickup taxi up to the next town, where another wonderful hike awaits.
Face of the Maya
The pickup truck ride from San Pablo to Santa Clara La Laguna, which is situated more than 1,000 feet above Lake Atitlan, is an adventure in itself! As you wind your way up to this quaint village, you’ll pass through coffee plantations and forested highlands. Once in town, you can take a short hike to the Rostro de la Maya (face of the Maya), a scenic overlook that resembles the profile of a face when viewed from the lake below. Amazing panoramic views of Lake Atitlan make this overlook a remarkable destination—and on clear days, you can even see all the way to the Pacific Ocean!
San Pedro Volcano Summit
The hike to the summit of the San Pedro Volcano is an extraordinary experience, but is not recommended for the novice hiker. Those up for the challenge of the 4-hour ascent and 3-hour descent through scenic forest and farmland will enjoy astonishing views of Lake Atitlan and the town below from the summit of the volcano itself. The trail begins in the Tzutuhil Mayan village of San Pedro La Laguna, where you can hire a local guide to take you up the mountain for as little as $5.00.
A variety of guided hikes through Guatemala’s virgin cloud forest begin in Santiago Atitlan at the back of the bay between San Pedro and Toliman volcanoes. Treks are typically strenuous and a bit lengthy, taking you through various microclimates to see waterfalls, natural springs, tropical foliage, exotic birds, and of course, jaw-dropping views of the lake and countryside. The hiking packages, available at www.funatlakeatitlan.com, include lunch and are a great value for an all-day, unforgettable adventure.
Hiking is a great way to see and experience the Mayan communities that surround Lake Atitlan in a natural, exhilarating way. With many different options to choose from, you can be sure that whatever hikes you choose, you’ll be rewarded with out-of-this-world views and memories to last a lifetime.
Mayan Ruins: Things to Do in Guatemala
Travel Writer, Emma Spencer Living
For much of its history, the Central American country of Guatemala was part of the enormous Mayan civilization that controlled this part of the world. Established around 2000 BC and lasting until the conquest by the Spanish in the early 16th century, this highly-developed society is known for its art, architecture, mathematical methods, and astronomical systems.
Today, descendants of the Maya peoples still play a key role in Guatemala, especially in and around the villages of Lake Atitlan. Throughout Guatemala, there are numerous major archeological sites that visitors can explore to get an understanding of the scale, scope, and impact of the Mayan civilization.
To help you plan out things to do in Guatemala, here are some of the key Mayan sites found in this historically-rich country.
Things to do: Yaxha
Located in the Peten Basin region, this Mesoamerican archeological site boasts several major pyramids as well as associated structures such as ball courts and carvings. The Yaxha site (pictured, right) is enormous—the third largest in the country—and was clearly an important location within the Maya empire. Situated high on a hill, this impressive site overlooks Lake Yaxha and includes the ruins of hundreds of structures.
Things to do: Tikal
Just near Flores, amid the tropical rainforest of Northern Guatemala, is the Tikal National Park. A major ceremonial site for the Maya people, the complex at Tikal (pictured, left), contains numerous temples and pyramids. Research shows that most buildings were constructed here between 300 BC and 100 BC, but the complex continued to be expanded and developed until around 800 AD. Tikal was likely the Maya capital of this region. This site has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and is one of the largest, with over 3,000 ancient monuments and structures documented. In addition to a variety of residences, palaces, ballgame courts, administrative buildings, and stone monuments are several pyramids and temples, the largest of which is 213 feet high.
Things to do: Dos Pilas
Found in north Guatemala, Dos Pilas is believed to have been one of the Maya Empire’s ancient capitals. Evidence suggests that Dos Pilas was abandoned by the ruling dynasty in the late 8th century due to local warfare. Although relatively small and not as well preserved as other Maya sites, among the ruins are numerous structures, including a temple pyramid.
Things to do: Ceibal
Located in the Peten area of Guatemala, Ceibal is a Maya city that is believed to have been constructed, then abandoned, and then inhabited again as the fortunes of the Maya dynasties rose and fell. As a medium-sized site, one of the key points of interest in the ruins is the round temple and the surrounding structures and carved stones.
Things to do: Aguateca
This was a major ceremonial site for the Mayan civilization and likely to have been a capital or major center for the empire around the year 700 AD. The elevated position of this city made it strategically important, but it is believed that it was attacked and burned down around the year 800 AD. The ruins here are said to be some of the best preserved in the country.
Things to Do: Guatemala City Museum
For a more in-depth look at the history of the Mayan civilization, visit The Guatemala National Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology in Guatemala City. There, a huge collection of exhibits and artifacts showcases the ancient cities, people, and culture of the Maya era.
Guatemala is a fascinating country with a rich and ancient history. When you’re visiting Guatemala and looking for things to do, put some of the many impressive archaeological sites across the country on your list. Taking in the ruins of ancient Mayan culture is a great way to appreciate the forces of the past that have shaped the Guatemala that we see today.

When the roof collapses, the damage is very serious.
The roof collapse of the Lusitania is the largest such tragedy in U.S. history, and the damage caused is estimated to be at least $8.5 billion.
The building was constructed in 1917 and became the first U.C.L.A. building to open.
It has a history dating back to the early 1800s and was the first of its kind in the United States.
It was the largest U.N. peacekeeping base in the world.
Today, the roof of the new building is in the process of being removed and the roof is expected to be inspected by the state of California and New York State Department of Environmental Protection in a couple of weeks.
We want to hear from you.
Have you experienced a roof collapse?

The detonation of atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, three days apart at the end of the first week of August 1945, were fine examples of the brazen disregard for civilian suffering that characterises war of all kinds, and that is independent of nationality. Two years later Japan’s people would endorse a new constitution that prohibited war, and today are one of the world’s most forward-thinking cultures.
Reading in detail about the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki reveals a great tragedy to be more adorned with horror than we might dare to guess. The death toll of either event is split into two categories; immediate deaths and deaths after the fact, mainly from radiation poisoning, burns or cancer. Looking at Just Hiroshima, for example, the immediate death toll was 70,000 and estimates of total death toll suggest 100,000 – 200,000. What still lingers in my mind since I first read about these events is that ‘immediate’ includes a period of 24 hours after detonation.
The closest known survivor, to the point exactly under where the bomb was detonated, 600m above the city, was Eizo Nomura. Living on into his eighties, Eizo was in the basement of a concrete building just 170m from the point below the centre of the blast in Hiroshima.


Mother’s Day Gifts with Aileen Avery
A sure bet this Mother’s Day is that most of us will struggle to find the perfect gift. Holiday historian Aileen Avery, who has studied and written about both the psychology and history behind gift giving in her popular book GIFT RAP: The History and Art of Gift Giving, uses her unique expertise to provide gift suggestions for choosing gifts that every mom will appreciate.
Did you know Mother’s Day originated in ancient Greece with spring festivals that honored Rhea, the mother of all gods and men? It wasn’t until 1908 when Anna Jarvis of Grafton, West Virginia, convinced her church to honor mothers on the death of her own mother. That simple gesture took off, and six years later Mother’s Day was declared a national holiday celebrated on the second Sunday in May.


Pablo Picasso was an emerging artist in the Art Nouveau movement, which thrived during the early days of the twentieth century. Picasso first moved to Barcelona when he was just 15 years old and had to leave Spain after his parents died. After that, he spent a lot of time and energy in Paris where he honed his skills as a commercial artist. Picasso later moved to Mexico and developed a passion for culture and ran away to New York where he established a studio.
Pablo Picasso’s most well-known and best-selling painting is The Women. This iconic painting represents the avant-garde concepts of the Art Nouveau period and depicts a group of women sitting in a park. The painting is a recreation of life in Barcelona during the early days of the Popular Movement. Pablo Picasso is often credited with being one of the few artists to paint the women totally nude, an innovation that at the time was considered outrageous. Pablo Picasso died in poverty and this painting, along with others that he had done, helped him to define the modern woman.
Before Picasso’s death, his heirs debate over whether or not Picasso ever really died. His heirs maintain that Picasso, under the influence of Max Fleischer, took on various disguises in order to escape the country after the war. Others believe that he died in a plane crash over Pamplona, while the War broke out. Whatever the facts are, many people still hold a candle in honor of this great artist.
Pablo Picasso’s “Cubism” is one of the key aspects of his career. Picasso used this style in a number of his paintings, including Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, The Metamorphosis, The First Communion, Woman at the Piano, and The Yellow House. The Cubism technique, which Picasso pioneered, involved the artist sketching in layers and then grating these into larger compositions. This paved the way for future works such as The Spanish Master, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, and The Old Man and the Sea.
Pablo Picasso’s use of color is highly regarded throughout the world of art. Even today, thousands of his works are still exhibited around the world. His legacy still endures to this day. Even though his career spanned many decades, the excitement and creativity found in his work still resonates today, as more artists create revolutionary concepts using color.
Today, Pablo Picasso remains one of the most well-known artists in the world. Many people have created reproductions of Pablo Picasso’s work, and they all enjoy the brilliant quality of his art. Whether you are a fan of art or simply appreciate Picasso’s achievements, you are sure to leave the event you attended with fond memories.


History of Donegal GAA
Although the G.A.A. was founded in 1884 the Donegal County Board was not formed until October 1905 (at a meeting in Mountcharles). A few years of activity were followed by ten years of inactivity until the County Board was re-formed in 1919. It has been at the helm since. Today, there are 40 adult clubs in the County.
Dún na nGall won the Ulster Senior Hurling Championship in 1906, 1923 and 1932 but football has been the dominant game in the County. Inter-county success was slow in coming. Dún na nGall won the Ulster Junior Football Championship in 1930, 1933, 1939, 1952 and 1954. The first Ulster Minor Championship was not won until 1956 and the Anglo-Celt Cup (for the Ulster Senior Football Championship) was not won until 1972, a victory which ushered in the Brian McEniff era, which saw further Ulster Senior Championship titles coming to Dún na nGall in 1974, 1983, 1990 and 1992. The first All-Ireland inter-county football title did not come to Dún na nGall until the U-21 team won the 1982 championship. A second U-21 All-Ireland Championship was won in 1987. At long last, the Sam Maguire Cup was won on September 20, 1992, when Dún na nGall beat Dublin 0-18/0-14. The National League Division 1 title was won in 2007 but it wasn’t until the Jim McGuinness era that Sam came to Dún na nGall for the second time with the 2-11/0-13 victory over Maigh Eo in 2012. The great Michael Murphy followed in Anthony Molloy’s footsteps up the steps of the Hogan Stand. The present decade (2010-2019) has been a decade of great achievement with the 2012 All-Ireland success, five Ulster Senior titles (2011, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2019), two Ulster U-21 titles (2010, 2017), two Ulster Minor Championships (2014, 2016); and four Ulster Vocational Schools’ titles (the Vocational Schools have won 6 All-Irelands – 1984, 1985, 1995, 1996, 2002, 2011. St. Eunan’s College, Letterkenny (1979) and De La Salle, Ballyshannon (1980) won All-Ireland Colleges’ Senior B titles but the McRory Cup is still to be won).
Indeed, the present decade has seen major achievements by the Dún na nGall hurlers and the Dún na nGall ladies. The Burt and Setanta clubs continue to lead the Hurling fraternity with pride and persistence. Dún na nGall won the Nicky Rackard Cup in 2013 and 2018, the Lory Meagher Cup in 2011 and the National Hurling League Division 3A in 2014 and 2016. Burt and Setanta have won the Ulster Club Junior Hurling Championship (2014 and 2017 respectively). The Dún na nGall ladies won the All-Ireland Intermediate Football Championship in 2010, the National Football League Division 2 in 2010 and 2016 and the Ulster Senior Football Championship in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019, clear evidence of the growth of the ladies’ game in the County. Termon had an outstanding achievement when they won the All-Ireland Senior club title in 2014. A small band of people continue to promote Camogie and Handball.
Dún na nGall players have gained National recognition. Martin McHugh, holder of 5 Railway Cup medals, won the 1992 Texaco Award for Gaelic Footballer of the year. Karl Lacey was the 2012 player of the year. Michael Murphy captained Ireland against Australia in 2014 and played in five series against the Aussies. Neil McGee has played a record 178 times for Dún na nGall. 32 Dún na nGall men have won All-Star awards as have Yvonne McMonagle, Ciara and Niamh Hegarty and Treasa Doherty. Geraldine McLaughlin should be added to the list in 2019!
On the club scene, the county was divided into five Divisions from 1933 until 1971 – South, South-West, West, East and Inishowen. Fabled battles were fought between Ballyshannon and Bundoran; Ardara and Glenties; Dungloe and Gaoth Dobhair; St. Eunan’s and Seán Mac Cumhaills. Gaoth Dobhair tops the Senior Football Championship roll of honour, winning their fifteenth title in 2018. St. Eunan’s are hot on their heels with 14. The present decade has seen the emergence of Naomh Conall, Glenswilly and Kilcar. Inishowen forlornly awaits its first Senior Championship. The great St. Joseph’s team won the Ulster Club Senior Football Championship in 1975 and Dún na nGall had to wait until 2018 for the next success when Gaoth Dobhair won. Glenfin (2001) and St. Michael’s (2003) have won the Ulster Intermediate Championship while Naomh Colmcille (2017) and Red Hughs (2018) have annexed the Junior crown. In the past 40 years Burt have won the Dún na nGall Senior Hurling Championship 26 times (including 16-in-a-row), Setanta 12 times and Seán Mac Cumhaills twice.
Since 1992 St. Eunan’s have won the Dún na nGall Ladies Senior Football Championship 13 times (including 10-in-a-row) followed by Termon (6), Glenfin (3), Moville (3), Four Masters (2) and Ballyshannon (1).


In 1899 a committee was formed for the purpose of building a convent for the Sisters of Mercy who would teach the students in the proposed new Catholic school. On the 19th August 1901 the school was opened with an enrolment of 101 students. Families in the Beaudesert district have continued to send their children to St. Mary’s for over 110 years and there are children who are currently in the school who are great grand children of some who were here in those early years. Many generations have come to school at St. Mary’s. There are still some of the original school buildings on site. Over the years there have been many renovations to the school with major building projects in 1939, 1958, 1967 and from 1997 where an ongoing building program now sees St. Mary’s almost at the end of endeavours to building facilities for a 3-stream school.
The school itself is situated in the centre of Beaudesert where it is highly visible from the town and enjoys great open spaces. The aesthetics of the buildings reflect a heritage nature and we hope to salvage the façade of the 1939 built building for the rebuild because it is iconic to the school. As a school icon, the front entry of this building is incorporated into the school badge with the motto “BELONG, GROW, SERVE IN CHRIST” included. It is from this motto that we base our school vision and mission.
The future for St. Mary’s looks bright as the area in and around Beaudesert is showing signs of growth. It is anticipated that the school will be fully 3 stream before the end of the decade as the employment prospects in the area improve with some major business investments.
Given the anticipated growth and the need to rebuild, we look forward with excitement to the future of St. Mary’s School.
