The 3rd Donadea 50KM Ultra Marathon and Irish 50KM Championships were held at Donadea Forest Park, Donadea, Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday, 16th February 2013 at 10:00. The race is an International Association of Ultrarunners Bronze Label Event. The course is ten loops of the outer loop of the beautiful Coilte managed Donadea Forest Park. Overall this was a fantastic event. There were 107 participants on the start list including 8 runners who have started all of the three Donadea 50KMs held so far. Several runners from the nearby club Donadea Running Club took part. The race was organised by race director Anthony Lee who must be commended on doing a wonderful, professional job on organising this race to the very highest standards. The recent forest thinning works that have been carried out created a little muddy stretch near the hills on the back part of the loop but otherwise the loop (see garmin trace below) is a forest path in very good conditions. The high standard of organisation, the great camaraderie and atmosphere amongst the runners will see this become one of the must-do ultra marathon events in Ireland in years to come. The race was won by Barry Minnock in 3-05 (new course record) and the ladies race was won by Crusaders' Olywn Dunne in 4:01

I ran the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set!
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 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.
If you want to contribute something for these images?
We do not charge for these images. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that they are good enough that you would ordinarily pay for their purchase we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
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.

Managed to pull ourselves away from the Dark peak today for something a bit different,An excellent walk taking in the Cromford canal,Cromford moor,Wirksworth,Middleton top,returning via the High peak trail via Black rocks.
The picture above is taken on the incline above High peak junction,at the bottom is a crash pit to halt waggons that occasionally broke free and hurtled down the slope at 120 miles an hour.
The first panel focused on global perspectives in transparency. Participants included, Christine Lagarde, the IMF’s managing director, Hans Peter Lankes, the vice president of Economics and Private Sector Development at the International Finance Corporation, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former Nigerian minister of finance and former World Bank managing director, and Christiaan Poortman, a board director for the Partnership for Transparency. Norman Eisen, a senior fellow in Brooking’s Governance Studies program, moderated the event.
There is growing momentum for initiatives that encourage “open governance” (transparency, accountability, and participation) to combat corruption and deliver sustainable and inclusive growth. These initiatives have, however, had mixed results despite the engagement of many international, national, public, private and other actors. The efficacy of open governance continues to be debated, with stakeholders asking: how to build on successes and learn from what has not worked; what role complementary governance factors may play (e.g., the rule of law, a free press, or space for civil society); and how the enormous array of existing public data produced by open governance initiatives can be better utilized.
On September 18, 2017, Brookings hosted an event to discuss new developments in how transparency, accountability, and participation initiatives can contribute to reducing corruption and achieving sustainable development. The morning commenced with a general, cross-sectoral perspective and then pivot to a particular case: that of the natural resource value chain.
Christine Lagarde, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, delivered opening remarks on governance and corruption. Following her remarks, Madame Lagarde participated in a panel with other distinguished speakers to assess the state of the global fight against corruption and emerging developments in that battle.
After a short break, we had a second session to discuss these issues in the natural resource extraction context, and to introduce two new research initiatives, one led by the World Bank and International Finance Corporation, and the other led by Brookings and its partners, Results for Development and the Natural Resource Governance Institute. This session was an interactive, town-hall style discussion that benefitted from the insights of experts attending from around the world, including representatives of international financial institutions, academia, think tanks, civil society, and the public and private sectors.
This event was co-hosted by the World Bank and International Finance Corporation, the Partnership for Transparency’s Anti-Corruption Forum, and Brookings.

There had been some discussion, prior to NEMF, about photographing the specimens. After speaking with Bill Yule about it, I conducted an experiment, a run at shooting as many samples as I could. I managed to photograph all the specimens that had been identified from Friday morning’s forays, only stopping when the afternoon foray samples started to come in, at which point I was ready to collapse anyway.
So here is what I did:
I came in to set up somewhere between 9:30 and 10:00 AM. I had a small table, a tripod with an attachment for my iPhone (4s, if that matters, point is, a state-of-the-art model is not necessary) that is pretty much the same spring-loaded holder you get on a selfie stick. I had two lights, just little gooseneck bedside clamp lamps from IKEA. The light was yellow, but one can correct these things in one fell swoop. If needed, better lights can be acquired.
I put the lamps, one on each side, on the backs of chairs spaced a little ways away from my table. I had also brought tuff-spun and other diffusion materials and even a blue gel, but decided against using them. The point here is speed and ease. Quick and dirty is fine as long as the visual data is captured. There is no point in developing a system if it is not feasible.
I brought a roll of gaffer’s tape. (Yeah, my lights were crap, but I had the good tape.) Once things are positioned the legs of the table and tripod and light stands (chairs) are taped down and the tripod is taped to the table. If the power cords are in traffic areas, they should also be taped down for safety and to secure the set up. As my iPhone is elderly, I keep it plugged into to the power, and this was taped up the leg of the tripod. The longer you shoot, the more tired you get, the more likely you are to knock into things, so this is helpful.
I had a plastic mat with a grid on it as a background, but did not use it because it was a dark green. I ended up stealing some cardboard boxes that had held envelopes from the office supplies; the insides were a bit closer to the 18% gray that would have been ideal. Grid not so necessary, but I did miss the ease of cleaning the plastic mat. The optimal background material in the future would be around 18% and a non-reflective plastic. Some mushrooms were wet and left marks on the plastic. The dirt brushed off easily with a small terrycloth rag.
The photo station was set up next to the door. I photographed samples after they had been IDed, usually after the printed labels had been made. But in order to keep up with the volume of specimens, I kept working when Teague & Dorothy & everyone else had gone to the meeting. At that time I photographed specimens that had been IDed, but not yet entered into the system. In any event, I was photographing the mushrooms with their hand-printed data labels as these were smaller and contained more information.
Such mushrooms photographed before being entered were replaced in the queue. As soon as specimens were photographed and labeled, they were put on trays to be moved to the display room. (Often I ended up moving them when a tray was filled and I was waiting on new mushrooms to shoot.)
I had NOT photographed mushroom samples like this before, so I am sure I was doing a lot of wheel re-invention. So I was, and am, open to suggestions in this context. One of the attendees who had clearly done mushroom photography before was put off by my rough & ready set up because of the obvious shadows. This, I take it, goes against the common aesthetic conventions of mushroom photography. But I was not taking beauty shots. And aesthetics are largely fashion. Shadows define form and texture. Form and texture are data, so I wanted shadows. Well, enough shadows to provide information, not to obscure information.
I shot hard for about five hours and then I was TOAST. I ain’t as young as I used to be. To do this on a convention scale, a team of shooters would be optimal. Moreover, I would like to have two photo stations set up so I could have one dedicated to shooting macro. iPhone macro adapters are the way to go, IMO.
As it was I had two levels. Most mushrooms I shot on a box, but for the larger ones to fit in the frame I removed the box. This dropped the surface down about five inches and allowed larger mushrooms to fit into the frame.
To set up a shot I would place the label under the camera. I tried to put them roughly in the same position each time. Some were crumpled. Flattening them wasted time. Optimally I would have set up a label-sized piece of non-reflective glass or plastic on the background, hinged with a bit of gaffer’s tape. This would have solved the positioning issues nicely.
The samples were removed from their boats (looking at them all day long left me with a terrible craving for fried clams, or at least French fries) by hand so as to leave most of the dirt in the boat. A few specimens I had to brush off. Mostly I did not bother. Probably the largest chunk of time was spent positioning. If I had more time, I would have split more caps in order to show top and bottom surfaces. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to split stems/stalks/stipes (whatever you call ‘em) when there are multiple specimens at hand.
I had selected a table height under the assumption that I would be sitting. Absurd. No time to sit. I was moving constantly from table to table moving specimens. The angle made the whole thing a bit physically punishing. I won’t make that mistake again! Ergonomics are key!
A strong suggestion for future foray photo inventories is to shoot the wee tiny ‘shrooms first. I got photos, albeit not macros, of the Mycenas and what all. But they were so dehydrated by the time I got them that they were worthless. On the bright side, this meant I didn’t feel so bad about not having macro capability. But even with a splendid macro set up, if the specimens look like shit, there’s not point. So a bit of a presort has to happened wherein the teeny tinies and the fragile stuff are bumped to the front of the queue.
And the iPhone is frickin’ brilliant for this. I love cameras. I’ve done a lot with point & shoots. I like nice fancy DSLRs as well, but they are not necessary for this sort of project. More than that, a real camera would be a hassle. The iPhone has the memory, the software, the touch screen and it fits in a pocket. It makes all of this feasible. A few tweaks to the set up and it will go very smoothly next time. If there were two shooters, it would be easy, a piece of cake.
The photos are not art shots, but they show the specimens. Not a bad first try, I think. Are these beautiful? Maybe not so much. Still, like my Dad used to always tell us, “Good enough is better than the best!”

Amela manages a traditional guesthouse in Lukomir, the highest and the most isolated mountain settlement in Bosnia and Herzegovina at an altitude of 1,495 meters. She and her husband Sanjin also own a tourist agency in Konjic, a hotspot of Via Dinarica. They offer trekking tours, rafting, canoeing and canyoning on the Neretva and Rakitnica Rivers.
The Via Dinarica is a long-distance trail that extends the entire length of the Dinaric Alps, first conceived of by a group of passionate hikers to connect the seven countries of Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo*, and Albania.
The trail’s vision of cross-border cooperation is a healing notion, considering the region’s recent history of conflict.
As the trails developed, UNDP formed a plan in parallel to develop local communities and small businesses to promote hospitality, service and tourism. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the most development has happened, the three trails (1,000 km) run across mountains and wildflower-filled fields, along riverbanks and through quaint villages. It has provided opportunities for locals to promote their guesthouses, cuisine and outdoor activity businesses.

The Ueno Zoo (恩賜上野動物園 Onshi Ueno Dōbutsuen?) is a zoo, managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and located in Taito, Tokyo, Japan. It is Japan's oldest and most famous zoo, opened on March 20, 1882. It is a five-minute walk from the Park Exit of Ueno Station, with convenient access from Tokyo's public-transportation network. The Ueno Zoo Monorail, the first monorail in the country, connects the eastern and western parts of the grounds.
The zoo is located within Ueno Park, a large urban park that is home to several museums, a small amusement park, and other attractions.
As of March, 2003, the zoo has 422 species. The Sumatran tiger, and western lowland gorilla head the list of the zoo's population. Ueno has most variety of species on exhibition than any other zoo in Japan.
At some point, redistribution of the animals among Tokyo's other zoos (including Tama Zoo and Inokashira Nature Park) left Ueno without a lion. However, in response to public demand, Ueno borrowed a female from the Yokohama Municipal Zoo
As of 2008, recent animals at the Ueno Zoo included:
Giant panda (Ling Ling, Ueno's only giant panda, died of chronic heart failure on April 30, 2008, leaving Ueno Zoo without a panda for the first time since 1972.)[1] China has agreed to lend a male and female to Ueno[2].
A Lesser panda (also known as the Red Panda)
Other animals have included the Sumatran tiger the Asiatic lion, the Western lowland gorilla, the Polar bear, the Asian elephant, the Reticulated Giraffe. and the White rhinoceros
[edit]Other animals
The zoo is also often home to zebras, Japanese macaques, red-crowned cranes, White-tailed eagles and King Penguins, along with goats, sheep, pigs, ostriches, and rabbits.

Walking on the lava flow. Much of which is obsidian.
Newberry National Volcanic Monument was designated on November 5, 1990 to protect the area around the Newberry Volcano in the United States. It was created within the boundaries of the Deschutes National Forest and is managed by the U.S. Forest Service. It includes 50,000 acres (20,000 ha) of lakes, lava flows, and spectacular geologic features in central Oregon. These photos are taken from the summit Paulina Peak 7,985 ft, (2,434 m). Just below us are East Lake and Paulina Lake and The Big Obsidian Flow, created 1,300 years ago, covers 700 acres. It is hard to fathom as you drive through the summit area that you are within a 17 square mile caldera at the summit of a 500 square mile volcano, a volcano that remains very active to this day. Newberry is both seismically and geothermally active. Geologists believe the caldera sits over a shallow magma body only 2 to 5 kilometers deep. Visitors see numerous cinder cones (over 400 throughout the area), miles of basalt flows, as well as rhyolite flows of obsidian.
Managed a fun astro shoot last night. I had been planning on trying to get a shot from the Langstone Rock caves for the last year, but I needed the combination of elements, so dark sky – no moon, milky way core, low tide and of course a clear sky.
The milky way was due to arrive at around 1:30 to the South East and would align with the caves at around 3:00. I thought I would start by shooting the core over the old Groyne on Dawlish Warren, after walking around the beach I was able to find them, I think the old wooden Groyne has been taken out as part of the current beach management scheme?? I was able to get some nice shots out to the south east with the lights of Exmouth in the distance. Unfortunately shooting on wet sand was a bit of a challenge as the tripod continued to gradual sink, however, I managed to get some interesting angles combined with nice reflections in the pools.
Moving back to the Langston Rock the caves were amazing and worth the wait to get. As the milky way rose into the vertical it started to fill the large arch, I also tried shooting from one of the smaller caves which worked quite well. Eventually by around 3:30 the approaching dawn started to reduce visibility of the Milky Way so time to head for home and bed...
I managed to keep hold of my wallet in here but I already regret that. They do mail order so I'm not out of danger yet.

I did manage to grab the camera only once in September. I was standing at the kitchen window one day when suddenly a huge number of Grackles (Blackbird family) descended on my back yard. I didn't even notice until the camera was turned off that there were probably about 100 of them in the trees above this birdbath. Then suddenly, as though someone had just snapped their fingers, they all disappeared in about 2 seconds. We've lived in this house about 20 years and I've never seen this happen before.
Session 5: Managing Capital Flows
This session will focus on the challenges in the region associated with the normalization of U.S. and other advanced economy monetary conditions, including ongoing and possible spillovers to Asia, appropriate policies to be implemented by spillover-receiving countries, and the possible role for international policy coordination in ameliorating the negative impact of volatile capital flows. Key themes to be addressed include: How EM policy makers can prepare for / cope with financial volatility associated with asynchronous AE monetary policy stances. Experience with macroprudential policies and their potential role in managing capital flows. Regional insurance mechanisms, and their role in containing contagion from financial turbulence. Past experience of the IMF in facilitating coordination of macro-financial policies among key economies and possible ways forward.

Dear Sir
Greetings
My wife has backed from the chamber of Expert Doctor that performed the Angiogram in NHF May 20, 2017. Again he has he has suggested neurologist. Could you tell me why? I am in doubt regarding the rationality of his suggestion. Is he not capable to realize the pain created and going on for his misdeed/malfunction during Angiogram and Anesthesia? I have requested him repeatedly if there is any wrong check it thoroughly, make us clear, it might be the new avenue for your research and study.
I don’t know why gentleman is such a afraid of his action and performance. We are human being man. We could make wrong and we are here to correct it. I assume it has happened due to test of new medicine or some new method or it might happen due to his hurry in the work being overburdened by his institution. Yes doctors have no time to look at the patient and patients’ suffering. They do everything like garments labor – per hour production.
Most of the institutions and individual is creating disaster for the patient and her/his family just to keep the rising trend of their profit line. Well you do your business where it is disaster you shouldn’t try to put it on other’s shoulder. Please you do shoulder honestly and sincerely. You will do business and in every step make profit, wouldn’t share any risk or the loss – isn’t it unfair?
I am sure none of you will say that for Angiogram each patient needs 21 days or more to be cured and there will be something solid in the place where medicine injected during Anesthesia that prompt pain, burning in whole leg.
Have you ever been face the unbearable weeping, crying and various types of heart burning sound from your nearest one due to pain and burning? May be you haven’t. If there are someone in your hospital not aware about please send them at my resident. I think they should learn it that might serve your business as well as my nation. This is the time for us to be advised so many experts so many ways. Sufferer have to shoulder so many at a time. One expert anesthetist opines we need to hire physiotherapist for three month and need several medicine.
I will request you to form an investigation/research team to learn and find the way out of these sorts of danger. In the same time I will request you arrange compensation amount that support our family
Hiring Physiotherapist for three months
Money for service provider to the patient
As the house leader unable to do the household work we need to hire service provider and money for that
Cost for other various incidental expenses that mutually agreed
By this what we have taken physically and mentally I don’t know how you will share
Your/NHF treatment has given us enough pain, torture and sufferings. Please have mind to share here. We are poor family please help us rescue an undone family from the disaster that you have made. You all doctor and your institution rich enough to face the cost but we are not in that position. Arrange a press conference and handover the Cost Sharing check to my family. This honest action will boom the business of NHF as well name and fame.
By your honest initiative
Doctor across the country will learn - for wrong doing they need/have to compensate.
All institution will learn they cannot put excessive pressure on doctor to make money.
Doctor will get chance to design their daily work properly that’s bearable for him/her.
This compensation will teach the Health Business Individual and Institution they should be caring to the patient. In case of wrong it will incurred big loss.
And Health Business Individual and Institution shall learn being responsible person they cannot claim to be irresponsible like the Truck drivers on the highway.
Looking for ward to hearing from you as early as your convenience.
Kindest regards

Dear Sir
Greetings
You are in a big silence and my wife making various types of sound weeping, crying, lamenting. All this happened by the disaster you made being guided by excessive greed for money or business. As garments factory owner ask per hour production from each labor you demand ANGIOGRAM from each doctor. This is surprising to you are decided not to respond to any vulnerable. How come? You cannot act like Dildar Ali owner of Apon Jwellers [he told –Joan Pola Ekto Adto Korbe]. May be you are in liking to say weekly we will do 300 ANGIOGRAM and 20% of those will be bad and ill luck people must have to bear, suffer and shoulder it. Could you tell me in last year how many were these sorts of bad case in your institution and how many you have compensated? Do you have any weekly, monthly and yearly report? Do you have to submit it anywhere else? Is there any authority? Are not a research institution?
Yes Mr. MD in every reign there are some terrors take the role like you. They need not to respond in any question or appeal from vulnerable people. But nature arranged due for them, please Look at the War Criminal, former Minister for Home Babar Ali finding Shatroos in jail. I don’t like to see you and any of your colleagues in that position for your unbridled corruption in HEALTH BUSINESS in the name of Health Service. And I am sure you wouldn’t act like a Corporate Terror.
Till today my wife with severe pain, your expert again suggested Neurologist. She is going there though I know this is simply loitering by your expert doctor. We are compelled to spend lot for Physiotherapist, House Management, Patient Management, Patient Moving, Medicine Purchasing, Several types of testing and many other incidental expenses. You please let me know how you can share/compensate for our physical, mental and economical suffering. If you think that you are above the law during this government, need not to respond, I will be compelled to seek help from law and order implementing agency.
I myself and my family wish to respect and love you as you are renowned educated physician hope to see your role on the same track.
Kindest regards.
NB. Do you maintain any standard rule how many ANGIOGRAM is FEASIBLE for one doctor daily and how many days are working day weekly? It is observed that during weekly holiday doctor doing his/her business in other town. Person cannot be in work everyday. She/he needs rest, relax unfortunately all rules and regulation exiled for money making. Please let me know your rule and rule of Bangladesh government to you and your institution.
