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.

The Millennium Link was an ambitious £84.5m project with the objective of restoring navigability across Scotland on the historic Forth & Clyde Canal and Union Canal, providing a corridor of regenerative activity through central Scotland.
A major challenge faced, was to link the Forth and Clyde Canal, which lay 35m (115ft) below the level of the Union Canal. Historically, the two canals had been joined at Falkirk by a flight of 11 locks that stepped down across a distance of 1.5km, but these has been dismantled in 1933, breaking the link.
What was required was a method of connecting these two canals by way of a boat lift. British Waterways were keen to present a visionary solution taking full advantage of the opportunity to create a truly spectacular and fitting structure that would suitably commemorate the Millennium and act as an iconic symbol for years to come.
The Falkirk Wheel lies at the end of a reinforced concrete aqueduct that connects, via the Roughcastle tunnel and a double staircase lock, to the Union Canal. Boats entering the Wheel’s upper gondola are lowered, along with the water that they float in, to the basin below. At the same time, an equal weight rises up, lifted in the other gondola. This works on the Archimedes principle of displacement. That is, the mass of the boat sailing into the gondola will displace an exactly proportional volume of water so that the final combination of ‘boat plus water’ balances the original total mass.
Each gondola runs on small wheels that fit into a single curved rail fixed on the inner edge of the opening on each arm. In theory, this should be sufficient to ensure that they always remain horizontal, but any friction or sudden movement could cause the gondola to stick or tilt. To ensure that this could never happen and that the water and boats always remain perfectly level throughout the whole cycle, a series of linked cogs acts as a back up.
To commemorate the completion of The Millennium Link through the opening of The Falkirk Wheel by Her Majesty The Queen during her Golden Jubilee on 24th May 2002.
Finally got round to painting up the marker which comes with the XV25 box set. Now looking for inspiration for a couple more in preparation for an upcoming tournament
It occurred to me while lying in bed this morning, that I could use the cap from a microscope objective holder to mate a microsope objective lens with some sort of T-mount tube. It works!
The camera body is just for show, normally it would go on the camera that took the picture.
Still over French territory, we approach a ridge called Crêts de la Neige, with GVA airport, Geneva itself, the lake, Switzerland, the Salève, and the Alps (which are back in France) beyond. Mont Blanc rises above it all.

Business is An organization where good and services are selling and purchasing for money is called the business”. Before starting your business you have to decide about the goals and business objectives. Some business objectives like Customer services, Competitive Analysis, Change Management, Growth etc.
If we are mature and objective in our open-mindedness, we may find that viewing things from a basically different perspective—that of our adversary—we discover our own truth in a new light and are able to understand our own ideal more realistically. -Thomas Merton
The objective of CfW activities is to support the immediate recovery of communities affected by the conflict while encouraging the revitalization of the local economy and reinforcing social cohesion. Members of the community are selected following vulnerability criteria and gender equality and work for 20 days in large mixed groups in exchange of a payment. The works improve the environment of the whole population. Photo: Amanda Nero I IOM
Harvesting Objectives
Logging is, of course, the only way to implement
objectives that focus on the generation of revenue
from timber production. However, it is also a key step
in the development of other management goals. For
example, if you wish to create new forest stands,
whether they are single-species plantations or
mixed-species multi-age natural stands, harvesting is
generally necessary to create the appropriate site
conditions (available sunlight, reduced competitive
vegetation, bare mineral soil) for the establishment
and growth of new seedlings. The type and amount of
regeneration will significantly depend on the
harvesting method that is employed. Similarly,
harvesting is necessary if you want to alter stand
structure, shapes and boundaries to create desirable
aesthetic patterns.

Objective: Out and About, HDR Photo
Camera mode: I was in Aperture Priority to be able to choose my aperture without having to care about the shutter speed.
ISO: I chose ISO 100 in order to reduce the shutter speed.
Focal Length: My picture has been taken in 28mm because I wanted the whole shed and the grey sky.
Aperture: My aperture was f/29 in order to have as much details as possible in focus.
Shutter Speed: My shutter speed was set automatically to 1/10.
Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design
Texture: With this HDR Picture, I wanted to highlight the grass, the wood of the shed and the clouds.
Colour: I darkened the highlights and brightened the shadows in order to highlight the orange of the wood, the green of the grass and the white of the gravel.
Space: There is no negative space because I wanted a lot of details in this HDR.
Balance: Even though, the shed is on the left of the picture. The house is directed to the right.
Emphasis: The house is placed on the third line of the Rule of Third.
Objective 4: Lighting
I took this picture outside and waited until the sun had a good position so the shadow is not directly on the shed but towards the side of it.
Objective 5: Post Production
I took seven pictures with seven different exposures (-3.0 to +3.0) merge them to HDR with Photoshop. Then I changed the highlights, shadows, contrast, saturation, vibrance, clarity, sharpening and post-cropping vignetting in Lightroom 4.
Objective 6: Critique
British soldiers of Airborne Combined Joint Expeditionary Force maneuver to an objective while conducting tactical operations during Swift Response 16 training exercise at the Hohenfels Training Area, a part of the Joint Multinational Readiness Center, in Hohenfels, Germany, Jun. 22, 2016. The exercise is designed to enhance the readiness of the combat core of the U.S. Global Response Force – currently the 82nd Airborne Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team – to conduct rapid-response, joint-forcible entry and follow-on operations alongside Allied high-readiness forces in Europe. Swift Response 16 includes more than 5,000 Soldiers and Airmen from Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and the United States and takes place in Poland and Germany, May 27-June 26, 2016.
