ANNOUNCEMENT
In 2007 Planeta.com hosts an online conference focusing on Tourism and Migration which will highlight timely news and innovative work around the world.
www.planeta.com/ecotravel/tour/migration.html
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE - The Tourism and Migration E-Conference is Planeta's 18th formal e-conference. The format will differ from previous events in that dialogue will run over six months.
January/February - Dialogue among co-sponsors and those who register early.
March/April - Additional participants will be allowed entry in March and April.
May/June - Participants will conclude the dialogue by preparing recommendations and announcing individual and collaborative projects.
BACKGROUND - Tourism enterprises are increasingly considered as as providing an alternative to migration and a vehicle to alleviate poverty in developing economies by creating jobs. Likewise, tourists are staying longer in places -- blurring the distinction between tourism and migration. The Tourism and Migration E-Conference will address these issues and allow participants time to prepare recommendations and announce individual and collaborative endeavors.
REQUIREMENTS - Active participants are asked to have a professional interest in tourism or migration. You don't have to be an expert in both topics. Active participants will be required to post an introduction and to post at least two messages per month. An account on the Planeta Forum is necessary for active participation, though the posts can be read by all.
SPONSORS - Sponsorship opportunities are available.
YOUR TURN
CALL FOR PAPERS - Planeta.com is seeking ordinal essays and recommended links to resources elsewhere on the Web. If you care to contribute an article or suggest a link, consult our writers' guidelines.

QUESTIONS
We ask participants to reflect upon the following questions:
What is the difference between slow travel and migration?
How effective is tourism in creating jobs and providing an alternative to migration?
What role do long-term foreign residents play in educating visitors?
Are investments in tourism training and infrastructure a viable outlet for migrant remittances?
To what degree does tourism development displace local people?

Scouts Camporee on Omaha Beach Honors Heroes and Promotes Peace.
By Robert Turtil
U.S. Scouts gathered April 24 to 27 for the 2014 Omaha Beach Camporee, in event held every three years in Normandy, France. This years Camporee was particularly special, because it was recognized as the opening event of the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings planned for June. Hundreds of Scouts from France, Britain, Poland, Switzerland, the BeNeLux and Scandinavian countries, Germany and other nations joined for a weekend of remembrance.
U.S. embassy personnel and active duty service members brought their families from facilities around Europe and North Africa. More than a few F-16 fighter jockeys directed AstroVans from the Autobahn to the AutoRoute to the D-514, while others followed the more historic route across, or below, the English Channel. Some Scouts flew from American cities over their spring break, and as usual, moms led the charge when dads couldn’t get away. All converged on a welcoming destination for Americans on the French coast.
Nearly 4,200 troops and their supporting families battled sometimes horizontal rain to re-live the history, and recognize the sacrifices of American and Allied soldiers, many close to their own age, who have fought and died fighting for freedom and peace. World War Two Veterans were honored, and sacrifices made during The Great War, Korea, Vietnam and The War on Terror were also recognized by scout leaders and other volunteers, many of whom are U.S. Veterans, the traditional backbone of scouting in America.
Campsites were pitched in the rain, the mud and the dark; pots of pasta were swamped by tent malfunctions. The elements provoked short-term tears and tantrums, and perhaps a sleepless night. But complaints were mitigated with stories of invasion boats packed with seasick assault troops, mud filled foxholes, and cold k-rations, as Scouts peered at the sogginess of this Norman spring. But, as EVERY Scout knows, only fun will be remembered of the mud and chill of this weekend.
Scout convoys raced around the invasion coast following ambitious schedules: Utah Beach, Point D’Hoc, Sainte Mere Eglise, Arromanches, the Pegasus Bridge and many museums. Scouts and Veterans were the special guests of honor at the historic and grand Notre Dame Cathedral of Bayeux where clergy, along with national and local leaders, christened a newly forged Bell of Peace and Freedom. The Cathedral was a packed and flowing sea of international scout uniforms, flags and neckerchiefs… all highlighted by sunbeams streaking through stained-glass windows.
90 year-old, World War ll Army Air Force Veteran Captain Samuel Wiley Hammersmith, B-25 pilot with 28 missions in the Pacific, mingled with Scouts throughout the weekend.
New Eagles and candidates for the Order of the Arrow were sworn in at an Omaha Beach campfire in the most meaningful of ceremonies for Scouts and their families. A French Air Force flyover, a military band and youth choir opened the Messengers of Peace multimedia presentation, bringing home the sacrifices made in the past and the promise of peace Scouting seeks to contribute worldwide. That evening, friendships were made, neckerchiefs swapped, and Paella shared at sunset on the beach, followed by a fusillade of fireworks.
Sunday’s closing ceremony was held in the drizzle at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. Each Troop flew its colors and laid a wreath at the base of the huge bronze statue, The Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves. Scouts and their families then joined hundreds of others walking the many acres of markers, looking for specific names, or just looking, at the beauty- with history, the sense of sacrifice and a touch of tears that the damp, perfect green grass of the cemetery envokes. Slowly the parking lot emptied as each American Troop and Patrol headed in every direction across Europe and the ocean… home.

The Story of NICHOLSON BROS. HARBOUR TRANSPORT PTY. LTD. by JANN DAVIES (Eric Nicholson's daughter)
There have been a number of vessels named Nambucca.
Nambucca 1898 (1898 – 1905). Single screw steamer built of wood by David Drake of Bald Rock, Balmain. She operated out of the Nambucca River until 1902 before being sold to New Zealand operators. She was wrecked in January 1905 whilst on a voyage from Blenheim to Wellington.
Nambucca 1915 . The Nambucca was built by William Lloyd Holmes & Co, McMahons Point, Sydney, NSW, Australia. Owned by Jack Cox, she was used on the Nambucca River as a milk/cream boat to collect milk containers from dairy farmers along the river for delivery to the Nambucca Dairy Co., Ltd., (NORCO) butter factory. She was sold to interests in Sydney and converted into a ferry named Promote. She currently operates on the Hawkesbury River as a tourist ferry. Details are in the following album. Nambucca 1915
Nambucca I (1922 -1934). Twin screw steamer built of wood by Ernest Wright of Tuncurry for the North Coast Steam Navigation Company. She came to grief at the entrance to the Nambucca River in 1931 but was refloated. She was wrecked in May 1934 after running aground. Details are in the following album. Nambucca I
Nambucca II (1936 – 1946). Twin Screw steamer built of wood by Ernest Wright of Tuncurry for the North Coast Steam Navigation Company. A much larger vessel than Nambucca I. In later life she was acquired by the R.A.N. and became HMAS Nambucca and finally USS YDG-5. She was burned to the waterline in Okinawa in 1946. Details are in the following album. Nambucca II
Images of the Promote and Macquarie Princess are found in the Album Nambucca 1915. No images of the Nambucca 1915 have been found.
The ferry Promote, formerly the Nambucca and later the Macquarie Princess has an interesting history from cream/milk boat to ferry.
Details:
Name: Nambucca - later Promote - later Macquarie Princess
ON 172892 (Promote)
Registered 17/1939 Sydney
Register Tonnage: Gross 24.1 Net: 16.4
Length: 49.4 ft
Breadth: 16.0 ft
Depth: 5.5 ft
Builder: W.L. Holmes, McMahon's Point
The Nambucca replaced the Breckenridge-built cream boat Undaunted when the latter was burned to the water line in 1914.
Initial Operation - 1915 - 1925
The Nambucca was built by W. L. Holmes & Co, McMahons Point, Sydney, NSW, Australia. She was used on the Nambucca River as a milk/cream boat to collect milk containers from dairy farmers along the river for delivery to the Nambucca Dairy Co., Ltd., (NORCO) butter factory.
Launch for the Royal Australian Navy 1925 - 1938
By 1925 cargo transport had become more economical via road and the Nambucca was commissioned by the NAVY as a personnel transportation vessel, running from Balmain to Garden Island on Sydney Harbour.
Purchased by Nicholson Bros., renamed Promote and operated as ferry 1930 - 1938.
During this period it appears that she continued to provide transportation services to the Navy while acting as a charter boat on weekends. It is believed that in about 1930, the vessel was fitted with an upper passenger deck; the upper deck can be seen in this image taken in 1931. She was regularly chartered by organisations including Bon Marche Ltd in 1931 and the Irish National Forester's Entertainment Committee in 1933.
1938 - 1969 Ownership transferred to Nicholson Bros. Harbour Transport Pty Ltd.
Based at Balmain, she was refitted & altered by Morrison & Sinclair. A taller funnel was fitted. Licensed to carry 197 passengers, she was fitted with a new motor (40bhp 4Cy. 8.5"-9" Dreadnought. 8.5 knots). She joined sister vessels the Provide and later the Produce and Protend on the Balmain to Erskine Street (Darling Harbour) run.
Purchased by Stannard Bros. and formed part of Stannard's ferry fleet - 1969 - 1973:
The Promote continued to work on Sydney Harbour as part of the Stannard Brothers fleet of commuter ferries.
Pittwater ferry - 1973 - 1974:
The Promote was sold to Broken Bay Ferries, operated by George and Thelma Bennet, and continued to work as a commuter ferry, this time on Pittwater.
Pittwater ferry under new ownership 1974 - 1979
The Promote continued to work on Pittwater as Scotland Island Co-op (John Hebden) included her in their fleet.
Converted to cruise boat for use on Lake Macquarie - name changed to Macquarie Princess
In 1980 David Mitchell purchased the vessel and she was taken to Lake Macquarie for conversion to a cruise boat. Her name was changed once again to Macquarie Princess.
Operation from Berowra Waters
In 1983 the Macquarie Princess was purchased by Gordon & Joan Mandin and commenced operation at Berowra Waters on the Hawkesbury River as cruise vessel.
In 2003 The Mandin Family retired and the Macquarie Princess was purchased by owner operators Fred & Carolyn Mulae, and Gino & Mary Donofrio. The vessel underwent a major mechanical overhaul and structural restoration.
In 2007 the Macquarie Princess was purchased by John & Lisa Tillott, and along with the help of children Jasmine & Bradley is now run as a family operated cruise boat.
The Macquarie Princess has now operated from the very same wharf at Berowra Waters West Marina since 1983, and in this time has carried over 650 000 passengers.
The Tillott family look forward to ensuring that the M.V. Macquarie Princess will continue to cruise the Hawkesbury for many years to come.

Last night the RCR team were on-hand as VIPs for the opening of the "Mermaid Museum" to promote the new mermaid drama “Siren,” on Freeform. The event is co-hosted by PopSugar and creates an immersive mermaid museum here in the heart of Hollywood. Best part... it is now open to the public from March 22nd to the 25th for fans to experience unique photo installations, illusions, and a live mermaid.
Screening the first three episodes, we can tell you that this is a really exciting new "original" series for lovers of "fanta-sea" and tales of mermaids. It's original, action packed and very engaging. There are twists, turns and lots of nailbiting scenes that will keep you wondering what will happen next...
Talking to the cast at the party was also a treat, they are very excited to see more fan reactions when the series premieres.
Freeform's Upcoming Drama 'Siren' Premieres on International Mermaid Day, March 29, with a Special Two-Hour Premiere
About the Mermaid Museum in Hollywood
Open to the public from March 22 to the 25, the free ticketed event will celebrate the mythological, mysterious, and beloved creatures with over five activations and celebrate the upcoming International Mermaid Day, which coincides with the series premiere on March 29. Featuring a live mermaid, a speakeasy-inspired fishing store, numerous photo structures and a 360° underwater immersive experience; the museum will celebrate and bring mermaid culture to life.
Giving Back
In celebration of sea creatures everywhere, Freeform will make a donation to Heal the Bay to help keep Los Angeles’ coastal waters and watersheds safe, healthy and clean. Additionally, the live mermaid will be swimming in a custom-built tank filled with 4,800 gallons of water which, at the end of the exhibition, will be donated to TreePeople. The water will go into a cistern at their facility in Los Angeles and will be used to water the surrounding landscape enjoyed by tens of thousands of hikers every year.

“Siren” premieres on International Mermaid Day, March 29 (8:00 - 10:00 p.m.), with a special two-hour event.
More About “Siren”
This series takes us inside Bristol Cove—a coastal town known for its legend of once being home to mermaids. When the arrival of a mysterious girl proves this folklore all too true, the battle between man and sea takes a very vicious turn as these predatory beings return to reclaim their right to the ocean. The series stars Alex Roe (“The 5th Wave”) as Ben, a bright marine biologist who finds himself drawn to Ryn, a mysterious new girl in town played by Eline Powell (“Game of Thrones”), who is a strange young woman with a deep dark secret. Fola Evans-Akingbola (“An American Exorcism”) stars as Maddie, also a marine biologist who works with Ben, and is highly suspicious of Ryn. Ian Verdun (“Life’s a Drag”) stars as Xander, a deep sea fisherman on a quest to uncover the truth; and Rena Owen (“Star Wars” Episodes II and III) as Helen, the town eccentric who seems to know more about the mermaids than she lets on.
Based on a story by Eric Wald and Dean White who both serve as executive producers. Emily Whitesell (“Finding Carter”) is on board as showrunner and executive producer. Brad Luff, Nate Hopper and RD Robb are also attached as executive producers.

Caveat: Nokia is a client of mine. Therefore you could argue [to an extent] that I'm cross about this blatant tagging/promotion deviousness however, you'd be wrong.
This isn't about that. This is about shoddy work.
Let me explain:
1. Searching for 'Nokia Lumia' does not automatically put me into the 'I want a new PC/slate' mental model. THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS AND TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PURCHASES.
2. The copy. 'The weight is over' - really?
3. I've worked with promoted tweets, using them like this is just terrible. There's no relevance, there's no context and, fundamentally, there's no dynamism whatsoever.
Poor show.

To Promote the next big exhibition at the end of the year in Autoworld with the fabulous theme "American Dream Cars" we proudly present to you the Plymouth Road Runner Superbird. This car is restored in it's rare, original, and wonderful period color of Limelight Green, wit a Black Vinyl Top, 440 Commando, 4-barrel engine and the heavy duty "Hemi Type" 4 speed transmission. With just 68.000 miles, the car runs and drives great and one can cruise the highway listing to both AM and the factory optional 8 Track stereo.
Featuring the wonderful Warner Bros. cartoon character the Road Runner, and being featured in Petty Blue in the hit 2006 Pixar film "Cars" as "The King" sponsored by "Dinoco", the Super Bird is a car that is loved by children from age 3 and up.
This particular 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird is one of just approx. 1.980, that left the Chrysler's Lynch Road facility. The Superbird was produced, only in 1970. In stock form, with the 440 or 426 Hemi engine, the street car hit over 160 mph off the showroom floor. As you can imagine seeing something like this on the American roads in 1970, caused a sensation wherever they went and they still do today.

The Pirates! Band of Misfits Premieres In Sydney Australia; Hugh Grant Walks Red Carpet
British movie star Hugh Grant arrived in Sydney yesterday, without too much attention, one day ahead of time for his involvement in the Australian premiere of The Pirates! Band of Misfits.
The 51-year-old actor, who recently became a dad, is in Sydney to promote his new animated movie The Pirates! Band Of Misfits, which this afternoon enjoyed its red carpet premiere at Event Cinemas at George St.
"I feel great," Mr Grant told Rupert Murdoch's News Limited. "I've got old friends I'm going to catch up with while I'm here."
Perhaps he's best known for his lead in The Four Weddings And A Funeral movie, but he's keen to become better known for more serious and dark roles.
Mr Grant became a dad to a baby Tabitha, last October, after a "fleeting affair" with Chinese actress Tinglan Hong.
He recently said of fatherhood: "I like my daughter very much. Has she changed my life? I'm not sure. Not yet. Not massively, no. But I'm absolutely thrilled to have had her - I really am.
"And I feel a better person."
Grant is also the godfather to ex Liz Hurley's nine-year-old son Damian, who he took to the London premiere of The Pirates! on March 21.
Band of Misfits is the Brit's his first shot at a role in an animated feature.
The movie, which was created by the makers of Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run, stars Grant as the enthusiastic, although not very successful, Pirate Captain.
Grant said preparing for the role should have been more soothing but he still managed to get himself into a panic before the recording sessions.
"(I) did a lot of rehearsal in my kitchen," he told media on the red carpet.
"I always find I was very good in my kitchen.
"I think it was partly because ... the room had a lot of echo which is very good for a pirate's deep voice.
"(But) then I get into the recording studio, which has a very dead silence (and) I thought, 'Oh, it's not working'."
Pitch...
Pirate Captain sets out on a mission to defeat his rivals Black Bellamy and Cutlass Liz for the Pirate of the year Award. The quest takes Captain and his crew from the shores of Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London.
Directors: Peter Lord, Jeff Newitt
Writers: Hamish McColl (screenplay), Gideon Defoe (book)
Stars: Hugh Grant, Salma Hayek and Jeremy Piven

{La oficina interviene en este trabajo como colaboradora de la Ingeniería Esteyco en el marco de una iniciativa de trabajo multidisciplinar entre los campos de la ingeniería y la arquitectura, ambos con límites difusos, capaz de aportar una mirada más diversa y enriquecedora.{br} El proyecto de ascensor se plantea, inicialmente para resolver la comunicación vertical entre la superficie de la urbanización y un aparcamiento subterráneo de reciente construcción. .No obstante, se presenta la oportunidad, aprovechando la misma implantación, de resolver la conexión vertical, a nivel peatonal, de la trama urbana que confluye en la ladera que separa el Barrio de Irala del Barrio de Ametzola. En este último se han realizado intervenciones de fuerte calado para el desarrollo urbano de Bilbao y sus áreas de oportunidad, el más significativo la Variante Sur Ferroviaria y otra serie de actuaciones no tan significativas, a nivel de estructura urbana, pero si importantes en la medida en que han configurado un nuevo espacio urbano singular, residual en tanto que ha permanecido aislado, pero llamado a ser el punto de encuentro y relación de los habitantes del entorno de Irala una vez resuelta la comunicación y la continuidad del tejido urbano.{br}La ladera presenta desniveles de diez a dieciocho metros y una pendiente que imposibilita el trazado de una calle pero permite la inserción de rampas o escaleras de conexión entre la arteria principal del Área de Ametzola, la Avenida del Ferrocarril y la calle más próxima del Área de Irala, la calle Batalla de Padura, integrados en un parque que sirva como soporte de todos los elementos de comunicación. {br} El proyecto se desarrolla en coherencia formal con una serie de pequeñas intervenciones anteriores consistentes en construcciones de pequeña escala para alojar un ascensor, un centro de transformación o un edículo de alojamiento de un vestíbulo de salida de peatones de las líneas ferroviarias subterráneas.{br} El núcleo de comunicación vertical está compuesto por dos ascensores, alojados en dos torres de hormigón para uso independiente de usuarios del aparcamiento y peatones, entre los que se inserta una pasarela peatonal de unos tres metros de anchura que hace la función de puente y enlaza con la calle Batalla de Padura. La torre baja, de unos catorce metros de altura, se encaja sobre la estructura del foso e incorpora el ascensor de conexión ente Padura y los tres niveles del aparcamiento. La otra torre, más alta, de unos 22 m, sobresale sobre Batalla de Padura como el elemento singular de relación entre la parte alta de Irala y el área de Ametzola.{br} Las torres se conforman como dos láminas de hormigón plegadas, de tres metros de anchura y unos 50 cm de espesor, que albergan las estructuras metálicas de soporte de los elevadores. Las dos caras abiertas del pliegue en ambas torres se cierran con láminas de vidrio laminado de colores verdes, un verde claro para la torre alta y verde más brillante para la torre del aparcamiento y el edículo de salida.{br} La iluminación nocturna situada en el interior de las estructuras resalta la geometría de las láminas de hormigón y refleja al exterior un halo verde de distinta intensidad, visible y reconocible desde el entorno inmediato de la ciudad. Desde Ametzola será un gran faro al final de la avenida, desde Miribilla el primer elemento urbano del renovado barrio.} {br}

{ The office is involved in this work as a collaborator of Engineering Esteyco in the framework of a multidisciplinary working between the fields of engineering and architecture, both with fuzzy boundaries, which could provide a more diverse and rich look.{br} The elevator project is raised, initially to resolve the vertical communication between the surface and underground parking urbanization of recent construction. . However, there is an opportunity, using the same implementation, to resolve the vertical connection to pedestrian level of the urban fabric that flows into the hillside separating the Barrio de Irala Ametzola Quarter. In the latter interventions were made strong draft for the urban development of Bilbao and its areas of opportunity, the most significant South Alternative Rail and a number of actions not so significant, in terms of urban structure, but important to the extent they have formed a unique new urban space, while residual has remained isolated, but called to be the meeting place and relationship of the dwellers of Irala once we have communication and continuity of the urban fabric. The hillside has slopes of ten to eighteen meters and a slope that precludes the drawing of a street but allows the inclusion of ramps and stairs connecting the main artery Ametzola Area, Railroad Avenue and the nearest street Area Irala, Battle of Padura Street, built in a park that serves as a support for all elements of communication.{br} The project is formally consistent with a small number of previous interventions consisting of small-scale buildings to house an elevator, a transformer or a little building housing a pedestrian departure hall of the railway lines underground.
{br} •The square Otsa{br} The vertical communication core is composed of two elevators, housed in two concrete towers to independent use of park users and pedestrians, including a pedestrian bridge is inserted about three meters wide that serves as a bridge and link to Street Battle of Padura. The low tower, about fourteen feet high, is fitted on the structure of the elevator pit and incorporates body connection Padura and the three levels of parking. The other tower, taller, about 22 m, stands on Battle of Padura as the unique characteristic of relationship between the top of Irala and Ametzola area.
{br} The towers are shaped like two sheets of folded concrete, three feet wide and 50 cm thick metal structures that house the support of the elevators. Both sides fold open in both towers are closed with sheets of laminated glass in green, light green for the tall tower and brighter green for parking tower and the little building out.{br} The night lighting on the inside of the structures emphasizes the geometry of the layers of concrete and abroad reflects a green halo of varying intensity, visible and recognizable from the immediate environment of the city. From Ametzola be a great beacon light at the end of the avenue, from Miribilla the first element of the renewed urban neighborhood.} {br}

Scouts Camporee on Omaha Beach Honors Heroes and Promotes Peace.
By Robert Turtil
U.S. Scouts gathered April 24 to 27 for the 2014 Omaha Beach Camporee, in event held every three years in Normandy, France. This years Camporee was particularly special, because it was recognized as the opening event of the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings planned for June. Hundreds of Scouts from France, Britain, Poland, Switzerland, the BeNeLux and Scandinavian countries, Germany and other nations joined for a weekend of remembrance.
U.S. embassy personnel and active duty service members brought their families from facilities around Europe and North Africa. More than a few F-16 fighter jockeys directed AstroVans from the Autobahn to the AutoRoute to the D-514, while others followed the more historic route across, or below, the English Channel. Some Scouts flew from American cities over their spring break, and as usual, moms led the charge when dads couldn’t get away. All converged on a welcoming destination for Americans on the French coast.
Nearly 4,200 troops and their supporting families battled sometimes horizontal rain to re-live the history, and recognize the sacrifices of American and Allied soldiers, many close to their own age, who have fought and died fighting for freedom and peace. World War Two Veterans were honored, and sacrifices made during The Great War, Korea, Vietnam and The War on Terror were also recognized by scout leaders and other volunteers, many of whom are U.S. Veterans, the traditional backbone of scouting in America.
Campsites were pitched in the rain, the mud and the dark; pots of pasta were swamped by tent malfunctions. The elements provoked short-term tears and tantrums, and perhaps a sleepless night. But complaints were mitigated with stories of invasion boats packed with seasick assault troops, mud filled foxholes, and cold k-rations, as Scouts peered at the sogginess of this Norman spring. But, as EVERY Scout knows, only fun will be remembered of the mud and chill of this weekend.
Scout convoys raced around the invasion coast following ambitious schedules: Utah Beach, Point D’Hoc, Sainte Mere Eglise, Arromanches, the Pegasus Bridge and many museums. Scouts and Veterans were the special guests of honor at the historic and grand Notre Dame Cathedral of Bayeux where clergy, along with national and local leaders, christened a newly forged Bell of Peace and Freedom. The Cathedral was a packed and flowing sea of international scout uniforms, flags and neckerchiefs… all highlighted by sunbeams streaking through stained-glass windows.
90 year-old, World War ll Army Air Force Veteran Captain Samuel Wiley Hammersmith, B-25 pilot with 28 missions in the Pacific, mingled with Scouts throughout the weekend.
New Eagles and candidates for the Order of the Arrow were sworn in at an Omaha Beach campfire in the most meaningful of ceremonies for Scouts and their families. A French Air Force flyover, a military band and youth choir opened the Messengers of Peace multimedia presentation, bringing home the sacrifices made in the past and the promise of peace Scouting seeks to contribute worldwide. That evening, friendships were made, neckerchiefs swapped, and Paella shared at sunset on the beach, followed by a fusillade of fireworks.
Sunday’s closing ceremony was held in the drizzle at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. Each Troop flew its colors and laid a wreath at the base of the huge bronze statue, The Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves. Scouts and their families then joined hundreds of others walking the many acres of markers, looking for specific names, or just looking, at the beauty- with history, the sense of sacrifice and a touch of tears that the damp, perfect green grass of the cemetery envokes. Slowly the parking lot emptied as each American Troop and Patrol headed in every direction across Europe and the ocean… home.

France: President François Hollande
“The first [goal] is to promote women's [position]. …The goal is to enable all girls in the world to freely go to school, to have access to work, to also be able to found their own businesses, and to be able to be autonomous and independent in their lives... The second goal is to promote the place of women for peace... We must mobilize and that's what we're going to do during this General Assembly, to strengthen the means of the High Commission for Refugees, to find a solution to what is happening in Syria, ... combat terrorism, because stopping the war is bringing an end to the suffering of women... In Paris, we will be holding the Climate Conference, and we have been able to note that climate injustices strengthen even further inequalities. …We've also been able to note that it is the women who can be the most capable of playing a role in finding solutions to global warming and preserving the environment. It's for this reason I would ask that ...in the Paris Conference, financing for women will be a priority. The final objective is to promote the [position] of women because this is to act for dignity. I therefore call for the universal ratification of the Convention on all Forms of Discrimination against Women. … If we want these goals to become truly the global order, if we want these to be achieved, there’s only one way to do it: To give many more women responsibility in countries that make up the international community, to ensure equality at all levels of the administration and politics. If I can give an example, in France, the Government that I chose and created has more women than men.”
World leaders convene at the United Nations on 27 September 2015 for the “Global Leaders’ Meeting on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: A Commitment to Action” to personally commit to ending discrimination against women by 2030 and announce concrete and measurable actions to kick-start rapid change in their countries.

This is a photograph from the 6th 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 12th of March 2017 at 11:00. The half marathon consists of a 11KM and 10KM repeated loop around the roads of Bohermeen and Oristown. The 10KM race just completes the 2nd part of the half marathon. The finish line is on the running track within Bohermeen Community Center. The course is a fast fair course with a few small hills. Last 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 dry, clear but rather windy. At several parts of the course there was a stiff headwind which made these sections that bit more difficult. Temperatures were around a seasonal 10C for this time in March in Ireland.
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 six 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.
This race takes place about one month after the Bewley's 10 Mile Road Race in Trim (just down the road from Bohermeen). Indeed these races truly kick-start the whole road racing season of fixtures amongst the clubs in Meath who are now famous for the quality and standard of the road races staged and organised.
The race is supported by substantial local sponsorship from businesses in the local area. McNally Logistics and Transportation are the main sponsors of this year's event. The company specialises in national and international haulage.
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.

Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
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!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
The transom of the cruise boat Macquarie Princess (ex Nambucca & Promote), built 1915, at Berowra Waters. The centenary was celebrated on 17th April 2015.
The 100th anniversary was celebrated in 2015 www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/the-hills/former-boat...
A history of the vessel essentially copied from Macquarie Princess' facebook page
Images of the Promote and Macquarie Princess are found in the Album Nambucca. No images of the Nambucca have been found.
The ferry Promote, formerly the Nambucca and later the Macquarie Princess has an interesting history from cream/milk boat to ferry.
Details:
Name: Nambucca - later Promote - later Macquarie Princess
ON 172892 (Promote)
Registered 17/1939 Sydney
Register Tonnage: Gross 24.1 Net: 16.4
Length: 49.4 ft
Breadth: 16.0 ft
Depth: 5.5 ft
Builder: W.L. Holmes, McMahon's Point
The Nambucca replaced the Breckenridge-built cream boat Undaunted when the latter was burned to the water line in 1914.
Initial Operation - 1915 - 1925
The Nambucca was built by W. L. Holmes & Co, McMahons Point, Sydney, NSW, Australia. She was used on the Nambucca River as a milk/cream boat to collect milk containers from dairy farmers along the river for delivery to the Nambucca Dairy Co., Ltd., (NORCO) butter factory.
Launch for the Royal Australian Navy 1925 - 1938
By 1925 cargo transport had become more economical via road and the Nambucca was commissioned by the NAVY as a personnel transportation vessel, running from Balmain to Garden Island on Sydney Harbour.
Purchased by Nicholson Bros., converted to ferry and re-named Promote 1938 - 1969
Nicholson Brothers Harbour Transport, which was based at Balmain, purchased the vessel. Her name was changed to Promote and she joined sister vessels the Provide and later the Produce and Protend on the Balmain to Erskine Street (Darling Harbour) run. During her years as a ferry on the Harbour, the superstructure included an open top deck which enabled her to carry 197 passengers comfortably.

Converted to cruise boat for use on Lake Macquarie - name changed to Macquarie Princess
In 1980 David Mitchell purchased the vessel and she was taken to Lake Macquarie for conversion to a cruise boat. Her name was changed once again to Macquarie Princess.
Operation from Berowra Waters
In 1983 the Macquarie Princess was purchased by Gordon & Joan Mandin and commenced operation at Berowra Waters on the Hawkesbury River as cruise vessel.
In 2003 The Mandin Family retired and the Macquarie Princess was purchased by owner operators Fred & Carolyn Mulae, and Gino & Mary Donofrio. The vessel underwent a major mechanical overhaul and structural restoration.
In 2007 the Macquarie Princess was purchased by John & Lisa Tillott, and along with the help of children Jasmine & Bradley is now run as a family operated cruise boat.
The Macquarie Princess has now operated from the very same wharf at Berowra Waters West Marina since 1983, and in this time has carried over 650 000 passengers.
The Tillott family look forward to ensuring that the M.V. Macquarie Princess will continue to cruise the Hawkesbury for many years to come.
