This is a photograph from the 3rd running of the Finea 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Finea, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Sunday 23rd March 2014 at 12:00. The race is organised in conjunction with the Castletown Finea Coole and Whitehall GAA club which is an amalgamation club of the GAA clubs of the surrounding parishes. Whilst the numbers were lower than the races from 2013 there was still a great local country atmosphere with runners, joggers, and walkers enjoying the cold but dry and sunny weather for the race. There was a great spread of refreshments provided in Fitzsimons Bar after the race.
A full set of photographs from today's race is available on our Flickr photostream in this set: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157642756508483/

This race is unique in the fact that it provided participants with the opportunity to compete in a race in two counties (Westmeath and Cavan) and two provinces (Ulster and Leinster) in Ireland during the same race. The race started on the Cavan side of the famous bridge of Finea and finished on the banks of the river. Finea is a beautiful Irish village which is well known for its scenery and it's position in the beautiful landscape of North Westmeath amongst the lakes and hills. The race crosses the River Inny which provides a natural drainage river between Lough Kinale to the south and the much larger Lough Sheelin [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lough_Sheelin] to the north. The race was well stewarded at all road junctions. Water was provided at the 3KM mark.
Course: The race starts and finishes at either side of the Bridge of Finea. The Bridge End Bar was the start where the race went out 400m on the Granard road and runners turned around at cone and headed back into Co. Westmeath over the bridge and the 1km mark. Following the Castlepollard Road the race took at left at the 2km and followed a loop back past the National School and back into Finea village again for a finish down on the banks of the River Inny. The course was a tough undulating course but fair. Any short hills were balanced out by adequate down-hill the other side. The stewards provided excellent traffic management on what is a busy section of road between the 1st KM and the final KM and the finish.
Location Map: Start/finish and registration took place at the Bridge (see Google StreetView Image here goo.gl/maps/1Zqek)
Refreshments: There was a very impressive selection of refreshments including sandwiches and home-made breads in Fitzsimon's Bridge End Bar afterwards.

If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers or in other circumstances 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.
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.

After spending a week in the hospital (for elective surgery) and not being able to work on my app for my cell phone, I finally got enough energy back to do so. I thought of an idea with respect to making the numbers of the clock disappear - by having the numbers move away (or back to) their home positions in a spiral path.
My spiral path algorithm needs work (right now, it only seems to work if the point starts at 0° - clearly a bug in my implementation - I stared and stared at the code and just couldn't figure it out, so for now, I have a workaround that does the following: generate the path for 0° then rotate each point for each hour position with a simple trigonometric calculation - ugly, but it works for now) and the timing needs refinement, but it's close to what I wanted.
This is a test of the numbers spiraling way from the circumference of the clock face - eg, outwards beyond the visible screen. The numbers also spiral back to their home locations.
Dallmeyer serial numbers are now available on line at - www.samackenna.co.uk/Dallmeyer/index.html - this is the extensive work of the late Sean MacKenna.... Above is a transcribed section from page 219 in the stereo lens production book, the book covers Jan 1863 to 1866, lens numbers 4638 to 10759, these are all 4,3/4 inch Petzvals, #820 lenses, #410 stereo pairs !! The other 'missing' numbers will be other types of lenses and can be found in the other books. The lenses are made in batches of 12, 10 or 8 probably the number mounted at one time on the grinding head..... My lens, 8358, the optical grinding was started Sept 27 1864 by Mr Bicknell, the brass turning by Mr Dillow was finished Oct 15th 1864.
Feel free to use this image, just link to www.SeniorLiving.Org This microstock required lots of post processing to get the blue tint. I also needed a bounce card to get more detail in the glasses.
Whatever has changed with Flickr leaves me unable to edit an uploaded picture. (Crop)
If someone else has a better 2449 this can be deleted.

Dear Mr. President and Honorable Government Officials:
The United States once played a vital part in protecting whales and their oceanic habitat. As a nonpartisan voice for the International Whaling Commission (IWC), it helped shape decades of sound conservation.
That's about to change if U.S. IWC Commissioner Dr. William Hogarth successfully removes a key safeguard for these giant marine mammals.
Whales are already vulnerable to pollution, global warming, sonar, drilling, fishnet entrapment, ship strikes, habitat loss and more human hazards. Yet Dr. Hogarth wants to dilute the IWC's moratorium on commercial whaling.
Granted, the commercial ban has been difficult to enforce. Japan, Iceland and Norway have long exploited an IWC exemption for "scientific whaling." There is no rationale for butchering whales to analyze migration, age, ecology or behavior. Eminent scientists and legal authorities rebuke "scientific whaling" as pointless. In fact, science-based slaughter is a veil for commerce in whale meat.
Dr. Hogarth further undercuts whale preservation with his proposal to accept some commercial whaling and allow it in coastal waters. I encourage you to appoint the Director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as the U.S. IWC Commissioner and oppose strategies that endorse Special Permit catches or "Coastal Whaling." I hope you will uphold IWC regulations and discount any type whaling presently forbidden under them.
The U.S. ought to use its clout to halt whaling from Japan, Iceland and Norway -- not appease them with watered down rules. Japan, in particular, has continually defied international treaty obligations and hunted endangered whales. Moreover, whale hunts are profoundly inhumane. Harpoons explode inside their bodies. It can take a half to full hour for a whale to die. Some, tied to the side of ships, suffocate as they thrash in vain.
Please revitalize America's leadership in the IWC with a U.S. Commissioner who facilitates conservation instead of killing.
Thank you,

On 9th March 2018, ESCP Europe's London School and Campus hosted its 13th Annual Gala Dinner Dance.
Staged at The Landmark London five-star hotel, the event attracted record numbers for what is a highlight of the Campus' annual programme and calendar.
With 10 different degree programmes represented and over 350 guests, focus was placed on the School's achievements over the preceding 12 months and the success of its diverse student community.
A highlight of the evening was the award for London Student Society of the Year based on a student vote linked to four core values: Student Life, Community Building, Creativity and ESCP Europe Spirit. The award was shared by the Eventures Association-Regatta and UNITED, the London arm of the diplomatic society that organises the School's participation in the Model UN conference in New York. Both teams won a case of fine wine, generously donated by Tannin and Oak in West Hampstead.
In presenting the evening's awards, Prof. Mercado, Dean of the London Campus, also highlighted two other Societies for their activism and initiative throughout the year: Cheer Up, the society campaigning for patients with cancer; and the Women in Finance Society, who we celebrated on our Facebook page to coincide with International Women's Day on 8th March.
Guests unanimously agreed that the Gala was a huge success, with many already looking forward to next year's event.
'I flew from Paris to live the Gala experience organised by the London campus. I was very impressed by the location and I enjoyed very much the reception. During dinner I caught up with the friends I met in my first year of the Master in Management who are now studying in London, and this was definitely the best part. A memorable location with the best company!' – Alba, Master in Management student
'This event was absolutely amazing. I'm participated for the first time and I found it astonishing. I truly felt that I was taking part in something special, surrounded by incredible smart people and with a magic atmosphere. It was a pleasure to have the chance to network with students from other masters and to strengthen friendships. The Gala represents for me a sense of belonging to the ESCP Europe community. I will definitely participate again.' – Davide, MSc in Marketing and Creativity student
'Our journey at ESCP Europe has only just begun, but the London Campus Gala marked a milestone on our journey. It is easy to say that dressing up in an impressive location alongside your best friends regardless of the occasion is always a pleasure; however, what made this evening special was the atmosphere created by the range of guests, from students to academic staff.' Pascal, Bachelor in Management (BSc) student
