This is a photograph from the second round of the Mullingar Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 14th May 2014 at 20:00. The race follows the roads and trails around Belvedere and is a very testing 5KM route. 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. Over 380 people took part in tonight's event. The weather was much improved on last week with warm and mild conditions for the race.

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

Edited European Space Agency image of the density of stars from data from the Gaia Mission.
Image source: www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2018/08/Star_density_map
Original caption: The second data release of ESA’s Gaia mission, made in April, has marked a turning point in the study of our Galactic home, the Milky Way. With an unprecedented catalogue of 3D positions and 2D motions of more than a billion stars, plus additional information on smaller subsets of stars and other celestial sources, Gaia has provided astronomers with an astonishing resource to explore the distribution and composition of the Galaxy and to investigate its past and future evolution.
The majority of stars in the Milky Way are located in the Galactic disc, which has a flattened shape characterised by a pattern of spiral arms similar to that observed in spiral galaxies beyond our own. However, it is particularly challenging to reconstruct the distribution of stars in the disc, and especially the design of the Milky Way’s arms, because of our position within the disc itself.
This is where Gaia’s measurements can make the difference.
This image shows a 3D map obtained by focusing on one particular type of object: OB stars, the hottest, brightest and most massive stars in our Galaxy. Because these stars have relatively short lives – up to a few tens of million years – they are mostly found close to their formation sites in the Galactic disc. As such, they can be used to trace the overall distribution of young stars, star formation sites, and the Galaxy’s spiral arms.
The map, based on 400 000 of this type of star within less than 10 000 light-years from the Sun, was created by Kevin Jardine, a software developer and amateur astronomer with an interest in mapping the Milky Way using a variety of astronomical data.
It is centred on the Sun and shows the Galactic disc as if we were looking at it face-on from a vantage point outside the Galaxy.
To deal with the massive number of stars in the Gaia catalogue, Kevin made use of so-called density isosurfaces, a technique that is routinely used in many practical applications, for example to visualise the tissue of organs of bones in CT scans of the human body. In this technique, the 3D distribution of individual points is represented in terms of one or more smooth surfaces that delimit regions with a different density of points.
Here, regions of the Galactic disc are shown with different colours depending on the density of ionising stars recorded by Gaia; these are the hottest among OB stars, shining with ultraviolet radiation that knocks electrons off hydrogen atoms to give them their ionized state.
The regions with the highest density of these stars are displayed in pink/purple shades, regions with intermediate density in violet/light blue, and low-density regions in dark blue. Additional information from other astronomical surveys was also used to map concentrations of interstellar dust, shown in green, while known clouds of ionised gas are depicted as red spheres.
The appearance of ‘spokes’ is a combination of dust clouds blocking the view to stars behind them and a stretching effect of the distribution of stars along the line of sight.
An interactive version of this map is also available as part of Gaia Sky, a real-time, 3D astronomy visualisation software that was developed in the framework of the Gaia mission at the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut, University of Heidelberg, Germany.

The "Woodcut" map of London, formally titled Civitas Londinum, and often referred to as the "Agas" map of London, is one of the earliest true maps (as opposed to panoramic views, such as those of Anton van den Wyngaerde) of the City of London and its environs. The original map probably dated from the early 1560s, but it survives only in later and slightly modified copies. It was printed from woodcut blocks on eight sheets, and in its present state measures approximately 2 feet 4 inches (71 cm) high by 6 feet (180 cm) wide. (There has been some damage to the blocks, and it was probably originally fractionally larger.)
The Woodcut map is a slightly smaller-scale, cruder and lightly modified copy of the so-called "Copperplate" map, surveyed between 1553 and 1559, which, however, survives only in part. It also bears a close relationship to the map of London included in Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg's Civitates Orbis Terrarum, published in Cologne and Amsterdam in 1572, although this is on a greatly reduced scale.
The Woodcut map was traditionally attributed to the surveyor and cartographer Ralph Agas, but this attribution is now considered to be erroneous.

Internet Research:
The organism is a Chestnut-backed Chickadee. This is not a migratory bird, however, it does make some seasonal movements. For example, in the summer CBCs usually move to the mountains, then back to lower elevations in the summer.
They are found on the pacific coast of North America. Clutch of the CBC can be between 1-11 eggs with two broods per year. They use a lot of fur when making their nests, about half of the nest material is animal hair. They can either nest in holes or in open cups. Hole-nesters are usually a little more successful, but even with this
adaptation, they are still vulnerable to predators like squirrels, snakes, and even black bears.

My Observations:
There seem to be multiple populations and because the CBC male and females look the same, it's hard to tell where the nearest mating members are. I didn't find a nest, but I suspect (based on my research) they are nesting nearby in holes. The distributions seem to be somewhat random, but the CBC is found more often near middle lake shrubs and trees, with one set sighted across the trail in a large bush. They seem to be wandering in sets of 1-3, but in the large bush it seemed that there could have been more (they are pretty quick!).
The CBC are probably feeding on insects around the pond, so I would say it's a source. The offspring probably hang out in their nests until they are old enough to fly and make it on their own. Immigrants probably don't come from too far because these birds are only found on the pacific coast. Immigrants may come from southern California or even Alaska.
Brain and Calculator:
Average number of offspring= 6.
After 5 cycles=16
After 20 cycles~ 67
This population is probably not experiencing this type of growth because they can lay anywhere between 1 and 11 eggs, yet not all eggs survive (they are vulnerable to many predators that also live in the park). It's an extremely variable clutch size.
From the Literature:
There is a study "A Reevaluation of the Effects of Forest Fragmentation on Rates of Bird-Nest Predation" by David Haskell from 1995 that evaluates wether forest fragmentation increases bird-nest predation. His study uses quail eggs to show that forest fragmentation doesn't seem to be affecting predation on quail eggs. I thought this would apply to the CBC in golden gate park because this is a fragmented area with a lot of human interaction, but it seems that the CBC may not be affected by increased predation.
Another piece of literature by Joseph Grinnell, "The Origin and Distribution of the Chestnut-backed Chickadee," published in 1904, discusses the habitats and behaviors of the Chickadee. This set of information(though published quite a long time ago) would confirm the presence of this species in Golden Gate Park and also offered other information that is relevant in SF Bay and similar to the chickadees he studied in Monterrey.
The inside is immaculate, the pale blue paint, the wooden chairs and the nostalgic pictures. It was a cold morning and I asked for a coffee. 'This is an Ice Cream Parlour!' I was told. I opted for a chocolate one. Two other customers came in but didn't sit down.
The infamous house on the hill looms over Los Angeles like an old friend, long forgotten to time and sits empty waiting for anyone to fully understand the stories that the walls have witnessed first hand.
It was here Dr. Harold Perelson on the eve of December 6th, 1959 had gone mad, killing his wife with the intent of killing their three children as well. When the eldest daughter escaped and got help, Dr. Perelson had taken his life and let the house and its tragedies be lost to history.
Despite the house being handed over to a woman, and later her son, the house was left as a time capsule with no one daring to live within those walls since the murder all those decades ago. For the first time, the time capsule has been open and welcomed its first visitors outside of its owner to explore the ballroom on the top floor and old fashioned bar, the four master bedrooms, gorgeous staircase, and the evidence of life left behind.
