“It’s time to step it up for gender equality. We have waited long enough!” With this call to action, global women leaders gathered at the high-level event on “Women in power and decision-making: Building a different world,” held in Santiago, Chile, on 27–28 February 2015. They urged governments and the private sector to take stronger measures to close the gap of inequalities in order to achieve the goals established 20 years ago during the Fourth World Conference on Women that resulted in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. Read the Executive Director's closing speech.

“Envision…a different world” —Octavia E. Butler
Students from Rockdale Visual and Performing Arts Magnet School in Eagle Rock recently participated in an art project in which they created images, shown here, inspired by the futuristic writings of award-winning science fiction author Octavia E. Butler. Butler (1947–2006), a Pasadena native, bequeathed her papers to The Huntington. An exhibition about her life and work, titled Octavia E. Butler: Telling My Stories, will be on view at The Huntington April 8–Aug. 7, 2017. A selection of 19 student artworks will be displayed in the exhibition.
The art-making was part of a larger science fiction writing project, with a curriculum developed by Huntington educators and Rockdale teachers. For students, the program was a unique opportunity to use primary sources at The Huntington to understand a writer’s craft while developing their own voices as writers. For The Huntington, it was a rewarding way to explore the potential of the Butler collection to motivate and inspire young learners.

Healthcare in Europe is provided through a wide range of different systems run at national level. There’s no ‘One Size Fits All’ policy. Efficiency is one of the central preoccupations of health policy-makers and managers. So, how efficient are EU member states’ health systems; and what are the key differences between the public and the private ones? A Euranet Plus multilingual debate discussed these issues and asked: “What can the European Parliament do to improve the health systems in the EU?” The debate, broadcast live from the European Parliament in Brussels, was held in German and English.

Cette image je l'ai fait à 3842m (l'Aiguille du Midi) et surpris., Qui est une montagne dans le massif du Mont Blanc dans les Alpes françaises.
Le téléphérique vers le sommet, le Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi, a été construit en 1955 et a tenu le titre de la plus élevée du monde téléphérique depuis environ deux décennies. Il détient toujours le record de la plus haute ascension verticale téléphérique du monde, de 1035m à 3842m. Il se déplace de Chamonix au sommet de l'Aiguille du Midi - un gain d'altitude de plus de 2800 m - à 20 minutes.
Le nom de "l'Aiguille du Midi" se traduit littéralement comme «l'aiguille du midi". Il est dit que le soleil se trouve directement au-dessus de la crête, à midi, vu de Chamonix.
Not exactly what I had in mind when I made this shot and it went allmost straight to the thrashcan. But, on second look I decided to keep it and see what you guys think.
Please let me know :)
Found on a night hike in Temburong national park, Brunei. This is a different species from the first one, note the small splotches that even look like lichen!
A different stereoscopic view labelled as one of the Oak Grove Cottages operated by Louis F. Goodsell. I'm guessing it dates to the 1880s or maybe a bit later. There is no further info provided, but the building is recognizable as the home still standing at 59 Mountain Avenue today. It is currently for sale. A small man or boy can be seen standing at the left end of the porch. He seems to be casually dressed and is holding some sort of long handled implement, perhaps he's a gardener.
Since there were several different buildings operated under the umbrella name of Oak Grove Cottages, perhaps they were run something like separate bed & breakfast inns. Their advertising appealed to families, and they were probably more reasonably priced than the larger hotels in the area.
Bombay, Mumbai - means different things to different people. But for me Mumbai is equivalent to speed. Life here is all about speed. Those who keep up with it, survive, as for those who are slow, get left behind. I mean look around you, someones running to catch the train, someones running to catch his bus, others are rushing to get to their places of work, children are rushing so that they dont get late, the works.
Clicked this atop the Marine drive flyover. Just wanted to capture the trailing lights, so shot on slow shutter speed. I am not completely satisfied with the result as i feel there is lot of noise in the image. Plus there has been a lot of fringing. So yeah, this isnt a perfect photograph, but i really love the motion in it.
Though there was lots of rain, thunder and lightening this afternoon, we somehow dodged the rain, but later hit somewhat muddy trails and met many riders who got caught in the rain and who were soaked to the bone! The rest of our Agape team on a different part of the trail got soaked, but had a blast!
Frisland is a phantom island that appeared on virtually all of the maps of the North Atlantic from the 1560s through the 1660s. This is our try to let our imagination run wild and create a region related to this mysterious phantom island. Enjoy!

This is a photograph is from a set of photographs of the Celbridge AC Ray Crofton Kia 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held at Celbridge AC running track, Clane Road, Celbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 16th August 2015 at 10:30. The 5KM route today is a new revised route for 2015 making it different to the successful 5KM race held annually by the club in the past.
The race started on the Clane Road outside the Celbridge AC grounds and proceeded on a left-handed loop which took participants close to Celbridge mainstreet before taking a left turn westwards to return back to the Clane Road and the grounds of Saint Wolstan's Community School and North Kildare Educate Together. The final 600meters of the race were held on the beautifully manicured grass track of Celbridge AC. The race was held in beautiful summer weather with temperatures of around 16C making very favourable and pleasant conditions for participants. There was excellent marshalling and route layout with stewards on all junctions to ensure safe traffic management. Refreshments were served after the race where many participants enjoyed the morning sunshine and sat down on the grass around the track to talk and review the race. The race also marked a significant milestone for Celbridge AC who are celebrating 50 years as an athletic club. A family and community fun day was planned for after the race to make the 50th anniversary celebrations. Celbridge is a small town on the banks of the River Liffey and is only a short distance from the county border line with Dublin. The proximity to Dublin sees Celbridge boast a large population and the race today reflected this with a very large number of local athletes taking part from the 295 participants.
We have a large set of photographs from the event today. The full set is accessible at: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157656917110560 - They were taken at the start and finish of the event.

In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us - If you are using the photographs online all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. You will find the link above clearly outlined in the description text which accompanies this photograph.

Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
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.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
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
Although my Urago and my friend Scott's Raleigh Competition appear to be headed in opposite directions, we did end up taking the same route around this island located between mainland Rhode Island and Newport's Aquid Neck Island. It is interesting to note the different approaches the French and the English took to bicycle design as illustrated by these two machines.
Amtrak's westbound California Zephyr is rushing through Riverside, Illinois, on the BNSF raceway. But something about this train is different. The consist has two three additional cars that are not always found on a western long-distance train.
