This is a photograph from the 3rd annual running of the Trim AC 10 Mile Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 5th February 2017 at 12:00. The race attracted over 1,200 participants which shows a 100% increase on last year's participation. The event shows growth year on year mirroring the growing popularity of the race. The race started on the Trim/Athboy road on the town's ring road and proceded to take an anti-clockwise loop out towards the village of Dunderry and townland of Kilbride before returning back to the Trim Industrial Estate for the finish. The route is held on quiet country roads with some hills at 3, 6, 8 mile segments.

The weather for this year's race was perfect for racing. There was a hard frost overnight but this brought clear bright skies and crisp air. There was no real wind to speak of.

 

Waterstops were provided at the 4.5 and 7 mile marks on the course. All access roads were well stewarded. The event was sponsored by Bewleys 1840 and many local business establishments. Credit must go to the Trim AC team for their flawless organisation. If the first three years of this year are anything to go on then this race will continue to grow. For runners around the North Leinster area this 10 mile race serves as a perfect training progress stepping stone to the Bohermeen Half Marathon which will take place in March 2016 and is located only 15 minutes drive from Trim.

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!

This copper printing plate shows two scenes of families intertwined with the slogan, "The cup that cheers but not inebriates".

This slogan is associated with the Temperance movement which promoted tea as an alternative to alcohol.

 

The plate was obtained in the 1940s by donor's father from the owner of the former chemist's shop (now the Four Maries Public House). This shop was in front of the printing works originally operated by George Waldie in the 19th Century.

Description: Book. The Printing Industry: Today and Tomorrow. A Special Number of the Monotype Recorder dedicated to The Federation of Master Printers and Allied Trades of Great Britain and Ireland. Published by the Lanston Monotype Corporation, 1930.

 

Accession Number: SH.2009.313

 

The Monotype composing machine was invented by Tolbert Lanston (1844–1913) who first produced his machine in 1889. The Monotype was based on similar principles to the Linotype but cast characters and spacing separately.

 

The machine comprised two separate units: the keyboard (like a QWERTY keyboard) and the caster. The keyboard used compressed air to punch holes in a paper ribbon, according to the sequence of keys struck by the operator. The caster operated by blowing compressed air through the paper strip to select the letters and set lines out in a uniform width.

 

As letters were cast singly, it was possible for the caster’s attendant to make corrections ‘on the run’, whereas Linotype corrections necessitated recasting the whole line of type. The use of the Monotype system enabled casting of some 6,000 characters an hour.

 

Printing purists such as Bernard Newdigate were disparaging about the quality of the output from these machines largely due to the uninspring typefaces available. However, the various university presses and Francis Meynell’s Nonesuch Press, part of the Private Press movement, enjoyed excellent results and economies of scale. For this latter reason, most ‘hot-metal’ Penguins, the vanguard of the Paperback Revolution, were set on Monotype.

 

Realising that it was important to offer a high quality innovative service, the Monotype Corporation appointed Stanley Morison as typographic advisor in 1922. Morison set about recutting past ‘classic’ designs as well as commissioning new fonts from designers Bruce Rogers, Eric Gill and Frederic Goudy. Morison also had his most famous type cast here – Times New Roman.

 

Further Notes: The cover of this book was designed by William Maxwell the Managing Director or R & R Clark. It was printed and bound at R & R Clark, Edinburgh.

Printing press in Allers factory in Helsingborg, Sweden.

Lithography is the art of printing from stone. The process was invented by Alois Senefelder in 1796, and the fundemental principles that he established have remained unchanged. By writing or drawing with a greasy ink on a specially prepared slab of limestone, the grease is absorbed by the stone and the image thus formed has an affinity for printing ink, while the remaining parts of the stone repel the ink as long as the surface is kept moist with water.

 

Lithographic presses are cylinder machines for printing from the lithographic stone or plate. In early models c1860 the stone was fixed to a bed which moved to and fro beneath a cylinder. The next major advancement was the introduction of the 'direct rotary' press with two cylinders, which, when printing, revolve continually in contact with each other. On one cylinder is the plate and the second carries the sheet. Around 1908 the 'offset press' was introduced which enables fine lines and half-tone dots to be printed on either smooth or rough-surfaced paper. The off-set machine consisted of three continually revolving cylinders. The first carrying the printing plates with its damping and inking mechanism which makes contact with the rubber blanket moulded on the middle cylinder; the blanket offsets the design to paper, carries by the third cylinder.

T-Shirt printing is a great deal of things to various individuals. It is a competitive earnings provider to some while to others it is a passive however successful company. Even to those who are not into venturing to this company, T-Shirt printing might still serve. It can be a source of a pastime, an expression to those who are innovative as well as be exercised for individual use.

 

T-Shirt printing kinds

 

There are 2 primary classifications of T-Shirt printing, and they are the:.

 

Digital T-shirt printing. The digital T-shirt printing is the more contemporary and often utilized kind when printing t-shirts, particularly if processing a bulk order of personalized designs. This is so as the design simply should be printed cut, and heat pushed or moved to the t-shirt. In fact, it does not take a couple of minutes to complete one. And the outcome is beyond what any artist can be happy with. It will be precisely like the one on the computer system. That is just since the art was simply moved to a printing paper for it to be moved to the fiber or the t-shirt. This kind of printing is likewise suggested for enthusiasts or those who wish to make their own individual printing press in your home.

 

Materials and devices: The term digital essentially suggests using digitized gadgets and devices like a computer system, printer, cutter plotter, and heat press. It is likewise suggested that a web relationship is offered for even more art work options. For the products, a digital printing artist need to have transfer documents (light for cotton t-shirts, dri-fit, nylon, satin, and light colors, dark for greatly colored t-shirts and vinyl), wax documents, and materials for constant inks. The inks have to be of various kinds to guarantee even more kinds of material can be processed dye, pigment and sublimation.

 

The treatment: Digital T-Shirt printing is really the simpler kind of t-shirt printing since the artist or actually the printing individual will just move an art work from the computer system, which is the precise reverse of the silk screen printing which essentially depend on the innovative art work and cutting ability of the artist. From the ease of digital printing, even an amateur can do the printing and start it as a company as long as she or he can be able to administer the transfer of art work from the computer system to the transfer paper and lastly the material.

 

But for beginners, digital printing will start by printing a selected design from the computer system or a photo from the files, or a personalized design on a transfer paper. The art work is now prepared and might be cut by hand or with the help of a cutter plotter. Some printing presses leave the whole transfer paper for heat pushing. Although it is not wrong, the outcome is less good since the sides of the transfer paper will show up on the t-shirt. The 3rd action and the last, is peeling off the leading surface area of the transfer paper to expose the design on a transparent like sheet then put it over the t-shirt and press for around 10 or even more seconds. Due to the heat that the pressing might put on the material, silk and all various other delicate materials are bad for use in digital printing.

 

screen T-shirt printing. The screen printing is most likely the earliest kind of t-shirt printing. It is understood to be a tiresome task which is why just the really innovative ones are individuals that start this company. This kind of t-shirt printing will need genuine paint one made particularly for material printing and genuine ability in cutting the 'movie' that will act as the guide of the art work that will be copied on the material. This is finest for exact same design art work since one movie is good enough for a whole bulk of t-shirts. Likewise, it can be utilized throughout all kinds of materials.

 

Materials and devices: In silk screen printing, the only products essential are the outline of the art work, the movie, cutter, a squeegee, various colors of material paint, and the silk screen. The majority of designers and artists produce their own silk displays and squeegee however school materials constantly carry these products and can be purchased nonprescription. The art work and design for a silk screen print is simplified when a computer system is offered, however it is not needed.

 

Treatment: In silk screen printing, the treatment will begin with the art work. The design might be sketched, finished with the assistance of a computer system, or copied over the internet. This art work will essentially act as an overview of the movie, which will be the pattern of the paint. The movie is generally in color green and is available in 2 layers. The thicker and tougher part is where the cuttings need to be done which the thinner layer will be removed later on to expose the sticky surface area of the movie. The variety of movies essential in producing a pattern will then depend upon the intricacy of the design or art work. The even more colors needed in making the pattern the more the variety of movies to be utilized. These 2 is expected to be equal. Presuming that the pattern/s is now prepared, the next action is to peel off the thin layer or coat of the movie. Doing this will expose a little bit sticky surface area of the movie. To guarantee that it will stick on the silk screen face down, unique fluid glue has to be used on that side of the silk screen. Now prior to the liquid freeze, the movie needs to be put on it. As quickly as the movie gets strong with the silk screen, begin the printing of the material.

 

Now that you understand the distinction and exactly how these 2 kinds of t-shirt printing work, you can lastly select the very best for you. Whether digital or silk screen t-shirt printing, however, it is crucial to guarantee the quality of the work. That way, you can be happy with the outcomes of your effort nevertheless difficult or simple the treatments might be.

History

The 1812 founded Society of Friends of Music of the Austrian Empire (now the Society of Friends of Music in Vienna) has set itself essentially three major tasks:

- The organization of concerts

- Collecting material of all kinds for documenting the music and musical life

- The maintenance of a conservatory.

The latter, often referred to as the Vienna Conservatory, became the leading musical training center of the Austro-Hungarian Empire but it had, because for sponsorship by a private association it had become too big, to be handed over in 1909 to state control; first it became the academy and finally today's University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. The other two self-set tasks fulfills the Society of the Friends of Music today as ever organized privately and independently on the basis of an association. Its home is the "Musikverein" (Vienna I, Bösendorfer street 12), built according to plans by Theophil Hansen and founded in 1870. It is the third own building in the history of the company.

The documentary and scientific objectives are met in archives, libraries and collections of the Society of Friends of Music, though, often abbreviated just to "Archive". This historic division split into three groups is concerning the content structured as follows:

Archives: music and letter autographs, music manuscripts, the actual file archive on the history of the Society and the Conservatory (with student matriculation register).

Library: handwritten and printed books (including medieval music manuscripts and tablatures), song books, magazines and other periodicals, librettos, printed documents of various kinds.

Collections: historic and non-European musical instruments, musical mementos, portrait and picture collections (portraits, topographic, historical, musical and theatrical representations in oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, all printing techniques and photographs), busts, statues, reliefs and medals.

The beginning of the collection activity falls into that period where just developed the musical historicism, for example, sheet music that became obsolete or musical instruments not in use anymore that appeared collectible. The stock has been and is by purchases and gifts, in the 19th century for a long time also by surrender of goods of the statutory copies by the police authority, supplemented.

The responsibility initially was in the hands of volunteer employees and officials of the Society (among them such well-known figures such as Raphael Georg Kiesewetter or Aloys Fuchs were) and since 1865 in those of salaried archive directors and their staff. Among them were well-known scientists such as Gustav Nottebohm, Carl Ferdinand Pohl, Eusebius Mandyczewksi and Karl Geiringer.

The purchases ranged from the library of Ernst Ludwig Gerber, in which again the library of Johann Gottfried Walther was included (1814), and the 1824 purchased musical instrument collection of Franz Glöggl from this one to acquisitions from the estate of Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert and further to the in late 19th century become customary and until the mid-1930s possible acquisitions of special individual pieces by patrons. After an interruption during the Nazi and postwar period it was not until the mid-1970s that it came to a continuous and significant continuation of collecting.

This break was twofold. After the dissolution ("decommissioning") of the Society and its subsequent inclusion in the Berlin "State Theater and Stage Academy" was planned this facility, which still bore the name of "Society of Friends of Music", exclusively to concentrate on the concert circuit. The music instrument collection was placed in the Museum of Art History. Archive and library should be transferred to the National Library (which ultimately not happened). Every active collection activity the by the new rulers taken over employees was prohibited. Finally, they were allowed, as long as archive and library are located at the Musikverein building, as hitherto, to accept any gifts, but with the following restrictions: only of small value and not owned by Jews or Jewish pre-possession. Higher-quality gifts and objects owned by Jews were reserved for other institutions. In May 1945, the Society as an independent association was re-established. Severe war damage to the building, the difficult re-establishement of a concert circuit and all the economic problems of this time a long consolidation phase have required that with several setbacks lasted to the sixties. Thus, for example, was doubted whether they could take back at all the collection of musical instruments located at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, so it came only in 1971 to a partial and in 1988 to a total return. It was only in the seventies, that it came to the slow resumption of a targeted programmatic collection activity for archive, library and collection through purchases or with the effort to get special gifts or estates.

Besides the already mentioned examples of purchases, from the beginning on gifts were essential for the building up of the stocks. Often essential pieces came from individuals, but crucial for the growing reputation of stocks were estates. Highlighted only should be the estates of archduke Rudolph of Austria (1831), Joseph Sonnleithner (1835), Carl Czerny (1857), Joseph Ritter von Spaun (1865), Simon Sechter (1867), Leopold von Sonnleithner (1873), Ludwig Ritter von Kochel (1877), Count Victor Wimpffen (1892), Johannes Brahms (1897), Nicolaus Dumba (1900), Ludwig Bösendorfer (1919), Alfred Grünfeld (1927) and after a long pause that of Gottfried von Einem (as premature legacy 1979), Francis Burt (1981 premature legacy), Karl Pfannhauser (1984), Immogen Fellinger (2001) and Ernst Märzendorfer (2009). Even of the well-known gift donors, leaving stocks from their own property, only a few can be mentioned in selection: The city of Lübeck (1814), Georg August Griesinger (1814), Raphael Georg Kiesewetter (several times), Aloys Fuchs (many times), archduke Leopold Ludwig of Austria (1865), Joseph Dessauer (1870), emperor Franz Joseph I.

Although according to the original intentions "music in all its styles" should be collected and documented, hence, without time and spatial restriction, and here actually also sources on English, French, Italian and Eastern European music history exist, in the stock development but main areas have resulted which may be titled as follows: Renaissance and early Baroque, Italian Baroque opera, Vienna classical and pre-classical, Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms and his circle, Gustav Mahler, Austrian music of the 20th century.

The broadly based collection area the stocks also for the art, literature, cultural and social history makes interesting.
