This is a photograph from the finish of the 10KM race in the 5th annual running of the Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were promoted and hosted by Bohermeen Athletic Club at Bohermeen, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 13th of March 2016 at 12:00. The half marathon consists of a 11KM and 10KM repeated loop around the roads of Bohermeen and Oristown. The course is a fast fair course with a few small hills. This year the course was 'reversed' which just meant that the traditional course changed to accomodate the large number of participants and the narrow country roads on which both the race participants and race traffic must both share before, during and after the race. Most runners agreed that this made the course much faster as a result. There was almost a total of 1,000 participants in both races.
The other great variable in road racing - the weather - was at its spectacular best. It was as close to perfect running conditions. Little or no breeze, around 10C temperature and clear conditions.
Bohermeen AC is steeped in Irish athletics history since 1927 and it is this experience and exceptional community spirit and volunteering which has made this event today so successful. Having now organised the event for five years running it is certain that the event will continue to grow and expand become one of the mainstays on the Irish athletic club road racing calendar for many years to come.
The race is supported by substantial local sponsorship from businesses in the local area.
Timing and event management was provided by http://www.myrunresults.com/. Their website is here [www.myrunresults.com/] and will contain the results to today's race.
We have photographs from both the start and the finish of the races today - they are all available on Flickr [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157665850980555]. Some photographs of the 10KM are included.

The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.

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.

This is a photograph from the annual Rita and Robbie's Christmas 5KM promoted by Navan AC and held at Claremont Stadium Navan in Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland on Wednesday 27th October 2017 at 12:00. Just under 350 people took part making it one of the best attendances for this event in recent years. The weather was very cold with the frost from the night making road conditions icy and slippery. Consequently, the race director decided to delay the start of the race by 30 minutes to allow for the temperatures to rise a little and some melting take place, particularly where there was shaded spots on the road. A stiff cold breeze made for rather mixed and challenging conditions for the competitors in the race.
The race started outside Claremont Stadium and finished on the tartan track within the grounds of the stadium. The race followed a well known and historic 5km route which takes in the Athboy Navan road moving onto the Commons Road before turning back onto the Robinstown road back to the stadium. This route was used many times in the past for national championship road races and for previous races hosted by the Navan Clubs.
The race is dedicated to Rita Brady and Robbie Byrne who are both stalwards of athletics in Navan with both having given a lifetime of service to the promotion of athletics in the town of Navan and beyond. Both of their involvement with Navan-based athletics can be traced back not just in years but in decades - back to the 1940s, 50s and 60s and in more recent times. The race today is a suitable way of honoring their work and dedication.

Meath, Ireland on Sunday 13th of March 2016 at 12:00. The half marathon consists of a 11KM and 10KM repeated loop around the roads of Bohermeen and Oristown. The course is a fast fair course with a few small hills. This year the course was 'reversed' which just meant that the traditional course changed to accomodate the large number of participants and the narrow country roads on which both the race participants and race traffic must both share before, during and after the race. Most runners agreed that this made the course much faster as a result. There was almost a total of 1,000 participants in both races.
The other great variable in road racing - the weather - was at its spectacular best. It was as close to perfect running conditions. Little or no breeze, around 10C temperature and clear conditions.
Bohermeen AC is steeped in Irish athletics history since 1927 and it is this experience and exceptional community spirit and volunteering which has made this event today so successful. Having now organised the event for five years running it is certain that the event will continue to grow and expand become one of the mainstays on the Irish athletic club road racing calendar for many years to come.
The race is supported by substantial local sponsorship from businesses in the local area.
Timing and event management was provided by http://www.myrunresults.com/. Their website is here [www.myrunresults.com/] and will contain the results to today's race.
We have photographs from both the start and the finish of the races today - they are all available on Flickr [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157665850980555]. Some photographs of the 10KM are included.

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.

One of the main objectives of the European Union is to promote economic, social and territorial cohesion between regions. The reformed EU Cohesion Policy 2014-2020 comes at a pivotal moment. Recent years of austerity have seen rising unemployment and widening inequality, especially in peripheral regions, with youth, women and ethnic minorities worst affected.
Making over €350 billion available to invest in Europe's regions, cities and the real economy, the reformed Cohesion Policy is the EU's principal investment tool to deliver the Europe 2020 goals: creating growth and jobs, tackling climate change and energy dependence, reducing poverty and social exclusion. Once member states’ national contributions and the leverage effect of financial instruments are taken into account, the impact is likely to be over €500 billion.
Launching a new partnership with the European Commission, with the participation of the OECD, Salzburg Global’s program is timed to help key stakeholders understand the rules and results-oriented focus of the reformed Cohesion Policy and ensure maximum impact for these investments. It will build on our longstanding European program which has featured over 15 sessions devoted to the EU’s development and expansion, grounded in our location at the crossroads of East and West.
The 2014 program will focus on ways in which regional development policy and complementary instruments can enhance competitiveness and effective governance at local, regional and transboundary levels.
Participants will examine tools for environmentally sustainable innovation, human capital development, creation and financing of SMEs and the transition to a low carbon economy. They will compare practical projects and mechanisms that have delivered successful outcomes for competitiveness and inclusive growth, in and beyond Europe, in order to identify transferable tools and connect stakeholders who are leading cutting-edge work around the world.
The program will be held from May 17 to May 22, 2014 in Salzburg, Austria, with a one day, high-level pre-session meeting on May 17-18, focusing on European competitiveness, the shift to low carbon economies, and the role of sustainable cities.

Chamber Promotes Hollywood to Local and Foreign Press at the Annual Awards Media Center
The Chamber’s 8th Annual Awards Media Center was a terrific success during Oscar® week! Showcasing Hollywood to over 100 media outlets, the Media Center was a central location for press to obtain information and interviews from a variety of Chamber members. L’Oréal Paris was the presenting sponsor and treated press and attendees to makeovers, consultations, and samples of their product. Hollywood & Highland generously offered prime space just above the red carpet for the Media Center, and ELS was able to convert the empty retail space into an impressive ‘showroom’. Cirque de Soleil performers were on hand to entertain the media, Indian Motorcycle brought in their 2011 Indian Chief, and the Hollywood Museum provided an elaborate display to give the media a true feel of what is available in Hollywood. The Da Vinci Exhibit offered complimentary tours, author Gaelyn Whitley Keith gave autographed copies of her book and other sponsors such as LA Inc. and Universal Studios ensured that the press was informed and engaged. Delicious menu samplings were available from Pink's Hot Dogs, The Happy Ending, Maui and Sons, Hard Rock Cafe, Hooters of Hollywood and McDonald's while Legacy Entertainment provided beverages from Victory H2O, Adult Chocolate Milk, Chadwick Bay, and Sharkwater Liqueur. Special interviews were given by Leron Gubler (Hollywood Chamber), Ana Martinez (Hollywood Walk of Fame), John Pavlik (Walk of Fame Nominating Committee), Christie Van Cleve (Hollywood Historic Trust), Donelle Dadigan (Hollywood Historic Trust), Donald Haber (BAFTA), Gloria Pink (Pink’s Hot Dogs), Rosemary Lord (‘Hollywood Now & Then’ author), and Gaelyn Whitley Keith (‘Father of Hollywood’ author.) The media left with satisfied appetites, a strong knowledge of our partners, and special goodie bags to remind them of their visit to Hollywood! Special thanks to Councilman Tom LaBonge who offered the press a tour of the famous Hollywood Sign up close and personal. To promote your business in the next annual Awards Media Center, please contact Kaylee Kiecker at kaylee@hollywoodchamber.net.

Following on from the great weather from last week's race this evening's racing seen a more changeable evening. There were some heavy showers earlier in the dead and the sky showed the possibility of rain. There was a strong headwind facing the runners in the first kilometer of the race. As this was the third out of four races in the league there were slightly less participants tonight. Just under 200 participants took part in the race which runs a traffic free course over a mix of road and hilly forest trail.

This is a photograph from the 3rd and penultimate round of the 2015 Mullingar Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 20th May 2015 at 20:00. The weather was perfect for running and racing and even an improvement on last week. Bright sunshine with little or no breeze were conditions greeted by all the runners this evening. This seemed to also make the course quicker than last week with many runners recording faster times than the 1st or 2nd round race. This year's 5KM is ran on a modified route based on the route from the last couple of years. The final 1KM is within the Belvedere Gardens bringing runners down to the lakeside for a second time and finishing along the aptly named Stream Of Life. The route modification means that the race offers a slightly faster route than the hill finish of previous years. After tonight all attention turns to the final night of the road league next week.
The race is promoted by Mullingar Harriers for the Pat Finnerty Memorial Cup. Competitors need to run 3 races out of the 4 races in May (any order) to be considered in the overall placing in categories at the conclusion of the league. Runners can also choose to just run one race without being considered for the overall league placings. Over 330 people took part in tonight's event bring the total from the three nights to so far to well over 1,000 runners. As with last week the new finish area provided a nice space for runners to stay around and chat in the evening sunshine. The Mullingar Road League 2015 is now half-way through and has continued successfully and looks to add to the success in the history of this great series. Despite the bright evenings the photographic conditions in Belevedere are difficult so this photograph is part of a smaller than usual photograph set as there were many blurred photographs this evening.
The "Road League" is something of a misnomer but is an indication of the League's origins on the roads around Ladestown Mullingar prior to it's move into Belvedere in 2008. The Road League is the envy of many other races in the country as the Belvedere locations offers a completely traffic free 5KM route.

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.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

PEGNet Conference 2019 - "Promoting social, economic and socio-political development through social protection."
September 9-10 | Bonn, Germany
Social protection is a key instrument for fostering social, economic and political development. It is well established that it is not only essential for the reduction of vulnerability, income poverty and income inequality but also for the promotion of human development as it facilitates access to education, health care, nutrition, housing and reduces gender disparities. In recent years, there has been a growing consensus that social protection is also an important requirement for fostering economic growth, social cohesion and political stability.

History
The Universal Museum Joanneum is the oldest public museum in Austria and the largest universal museum in the middle of Europe. As in 1811 Archduke Johann Baptist of Austria (1782-1859) its foundation commissioned, he followed his intention with the Joanneum to promote the progress of the country. With this, he wanted to
"... facilitate learning, stimulate the curiosity, that the self-thinking and herewith the independence so injurious mere memorizing, those adverse gap between the concept and the intuition, the theory and practice help more and more to fill in."
At the same time he prompted the residents (male and female ones) of former Inner Austria (Styria, Carinthia, Krain, Gorizia, Coastal land) themselves to create a history of the country. Subsequently, numerous generous donations enlarged the foundation of the museum collections as well as a large part of the book inventory of the Styrian Provincial Library.
The area of the new Joanneum district - in particular the building complex "Rauber alley-Kalchberg alley-Neutor alley" - but also within the urban development of Graz played an important role:
The entire complex has a trapezoidal ground plan that resulted from the original location at the medieval city walls. Located in the middle of the city life, the history of the museum Rauber alley can be traced back to the 15th century. Numerous conversions and extensions as well as several changes of ownership dominated the cityscape around the area.
The northern four-winged complex with early Baroque facade design, court arcades and private chapel Abbot Franz von Kaltenhausen already 1665-1674 had built as a town house for the Benedictine Abbey of St. Lambrecht. Master builder was the stemming from Roveredo, Grisons, Domenico Sciassia (1599/1603-1679).
The building did not remain for a long time in the possession of the Benedictines because due to a debt they had to sell the complex in 1684 to Jakob Count of Leslie. The former foundation, now called "Leslie court", the Leslie family was incorporated, and after the extinction of the noble family of Leslie in 1802 to Prince Johann Karl of Dietrichstein inherited. In 1811, it was purchased by the Estates of Styria, to serve as a location for the by Archduke Johann founded Inner-Austrian "National Museum" Joanneum.
The building Kalchberg alley was erected in place of the narrow south wing which connected the garden wing of 1665/74 and the road-side annex of 1825/26 between 1890 and 1893 after a design by August Gunolt with historical neo-baroque facade design and roof balustrade. The 1893 from the Joanneum moved into the building Kalchberg alley Styrian State Library is the oldest state library of Austria and the second largest library in Styria. The library building in Kalchberg alley, basically remained unchanged for more than 100 years. The five-axis façade in Kalchberg alley had been designed as a counterpart to the built in the same time museum new building in Neutor alley.
The neo-baroque museum building Neutor alley 45 lies as a historical monumental building between Neutor alley and Museum for Arts and Crafts, Landhaus alley and Kalchberg alley. Via as a circular segment formed forecourt one reaches the round, domed entrance building. The building structure is essentially determined by this central dome, the adjacent representative staircase and the on both sides adjoining curved central wings.
The building was in 1890 and 1894 as "Museum of Cultural History and Museum of Arts and Crafts" erected. Since 1863 they wanted on the grounds of Joanneum garden between the museum building Rauber alley 10 and Neutor alley build a new museum building. Finally, August Gunolt (1849-1932) - student of Heinrich Ferstel, from 1876 professor at the kk Federal School for Arts and Crafts in Graz - was commissioned with the preparation of relevant drafts.
Gunolt on his plan was inspired by the Baroque style of Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. This can be seen especially on the curved facade in exedra form, and on the dome of the museum building. Despite renovations and additions, the building remained the only museum (new) building of the 19th century in Graz.
Since 26.11.2011, you can find on this site the redesigned Joanneum Quarter.

Geschichte
Das Universalmuseum Joanneum ist das älteste öffentlich zugängliche Museum Österreichs und das größte Universalmuseum in der Mitte Europas. Als 1811 Erzherzog Johann Baptist von Österreich (1782 – 1859) seine Stiftung in Auftrag gab, folgte er seiner Absicht, mit dem Joanneums den Fortschritt des Landes zu fördern. Er wollte damit
"...das Lernen erleichtern, die Wissbegierde reizen, jenes dem Selbstdenken
und hiemit der Selbstständigkeit so nachtheilige bloße Memoriren, jene schädliche Kluft zwischen dem Begriff und der Anschauung, der Theorie und der Praxis mehr und mehr ausfüllen helfen.“
Gleichzeitig forderte er die Bewohner/innen des damaligen Innerösterreichs (Steiermark, Kärnten, Krain, Görz, Küstenland) dazu auf, selbst eine Geschichte des Landes zu erstellen. In der Folge erweiterten zahlreiche großzügige Schenkungen den Grundstock der musealen Sammlungen sowie einen großen Teil des Buchbestands der Steiermärkischen Landesbibliothek.
Das Areal des neuen Joanneumsviertels – insbesondere der Gebäudekomplex „Raubergasse-Kalchberggasse-Neutorgasse“ - spielte jedoch auch innerhalb der städtebaulichen Entwicklung von Graz eine bedeutsame Rolle:
Die Gesamtanlage weist einen trapezförmigen Grundriss auf, der sich durch die ursprüngliche Lage an der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer ergab. Mitten im Stadtgeschehen gelegen, lässt sich die Geschichte des Museumsgebäudes Raubergasse 10 bis ins 15. Jahrhundert zurückverfolgen. Zahlreiche Um- und Zubauten sowie mehrere Besitzerwechsel prägten das Stadtbild rund um das Areal.
Die nördliche Vierflügelanlage mit frühbarocker Fassadierung, Hofarkaden und Hauskapelle ließ Abt Franz von Kaltenhausen bereits von 1665 bis 1674 als ein Stadthaus für das Benediktinerstift St. Lambrecht errichten. Baumeister war der aus Roveredo, Graubünden, stammende Domenico Sciassia (1599/1603-1679).
Das Gebäude blieb nicht lange im Besitz der Benediktiner, denn aufgrund von Verschuldung mussten sie den Komplex im Jahr 1684 an Jakob Graf von Leslie verkaufen. Die ehemalige Stiftung, nun "Lesliehof" genannt, wurde der Familie Leslie einverleibt, und nach dem Erlöschen des Grafengeschlechts von Leslie im Jahr 1802 an den Fürsten Johann Karl von Dietrichstein vererbt. Im Jahr 1811 wurde es von den Ständen der Steiermark angekauft, um als Standort für das von Erzherzog Johann gestiftete innerösterreichische „Nationalmusäum“ Joanneum zu dienen.
Das Gebäude Kalchberggasse 2 wurde anstelle des schmalen Südflügels, der den Gartenflügel von 1665/74 und den straßenseitigen Zubau von 1825/26 verband, zwischen 1890 und 1893 nach einem Entwurf von August Gunolt mit historischer neobarocker Fassadierung und Dachbalustrade errichtet. Die 1893 vom Joanneum in das Gebäude Kalchberggasse übersiedelte Steiermärkische Landesbibliothek ist die älteste Landesbibliothek Österreichs und die zweitgrößte Bibliothek der Steiermark. Der Bibliotheksbau in der Kalchberggasse blieb seit mehr als 100 Jahren im Wesentlichen unverändert. Die fünfachsige Fassade in der Kalchberggasse war als Pendant zum gleichzeitig errichteten Museumsneubau in der Neutorgasse gestaltet worden.
Das neobarocke Museumsgebäude Neutorgasse 45 liegt als historischer Monumentalbau zwischen Neutorgasse und Museumspark, Landhausgasse und Kalchberggasse. Über einen als Kreissegment ausgebildeten Vorplatz erreicht man den runden, überkuppelten Eingangsbau. Die Gebäudestruktur wird wesentlich durch diesen zentralen Kuppelbau, das daran anschließende repräsentative Treppenhaus und die an den Zentralraum beidseitig anschließenden geschwungenen Fronttrakte bestimmt.
Das Gebäude wurde zwischen 1890 und 1894 als "Kulturhistorisches und Kunstgewerbemuseum" errichtet. Seit 1863 wollte man auf dem Gelände des Joanneumsgartens zwischen dem Museumsgebäude Raubergasse 10 und der Neutorgasse einen neuen Museumsbau errichten. Schließlich wurde August Gunolt (1849-1932) – Schüler Heinrich Ferstels, ab 1876 Professor an der k.k. Staatsgewerbeschule in Graz – mit der Erstellung entsprechender Entwürfe beauftragt.
Gunolt wurde zu seinem Plan von Barockbauten im Stile J. B. Fischers von Erlach inspiriert. Erkennbar ist dies vor allem an der geschwungenen Fassade in Exedraform, und an der Kuppel des Museumsgebäudes. Trotz Um- und Anbauten blieb das Gebäude der einzige Museumsneubau des 19. Jahrhunderts in Graz.
Seit 26.11.2011 finden Sie auf diesem Areal das neugestaltete Joanneumsviertel.
Rainforest Flow: A House of the Children Project, was presented in the Fleet Room on Thursday, Mar. 6. Those who attended learned more about this important program and indigenous people of the rainforest.
Nancy Santullo, founder and director of Rainforest Flow, has been working with the Matsigenka Indians who live within the borders of Manu National Park in Peru. House of the Children empowers indigenous people by promoting health, education, and community organization so they can flourish within their traditional homelands and way of life. It promotes an exchange of knowledge among indigenous villages that enables individuals, communities, and inter-community organizations to defend their lands and traditions from outside economic interests, encroachment, and cultural erosion.
A three-day bazar brings together Jordanian women as well as Syrian refugee women to showcase their homemade products, as part of efforts to support self-employed women in Jordan. Organised by the Ministry of Labour, with the support of the ILO and the UNDP, the event provides Jordanian and Syrian women with an opportunity for income generation by marketing and selling their merchandise. Women from across the country sell a range of products including accessories, embroideries, clothes and food. ILO/Nisreen Bathish
