A group of actors who have experienced trauma because of ongoing violence in South Sudan are using their dramatic skills to explain the role of the United Nations Mission in the country to other internally displaced people living in protected sites.
The Bomduong Kon Drama Group is made up of residents from the UN protection site in Juba. They recently performed at an awareness-raising workshop organized by UNMISS, keeping the audience informed, entertained, and erupting in laughter during in a short skit carrying important messages about the organization’s mandate to protect civilians and build durable peace.
“We came together as a group and put forward ideas on how best the community can understand the UNMISS mandate in a simple way. We wanted them to understand what UNMISS is really doing in South Sudan,” said Char James Kim, the director of the drama group.
“To convince a human brain is not easy; you have to convince them inside the heart and the mind and to make that easy they should see something live, they should see it from a local person living with them,” said Char James Kim.
“This is why we chose to do a play, to make it easy for a child and the elderly to fully understand the UN mandate.”
The workshop was run by UNMISS’ Communication and Public Information Section. The Mission’s Head of Outreach, Hiroyuki Saito, said that it was very important for residents of the UN Protection of Civilians (PoC) sites to better understand all aspects of the organization’s work.
“We wanted to explain what is really going on at the POC sites, concretely, so that there is no misunderstanding between UNMISS and the people who live here,” said Hiroyuki Saito.
There were also presentations at the workshop by UNMISS’ Gender Unit on the serious problem of gender-based violence, the role of UN Police and Force Protection within the sites.
There are currently over 38,000 civilians living in the UN protection sites in Juba.

It's finally here!!!
A couple of things:
First impressions, the first thing I notice is that it's...dense. I can't quite explain it, but its well put together, and feels solid. It's not "toy like" in any way.
The camera handles VERY differently than the D40 in many ways. First of all, no grip on the right side.
BEFORE YOU BUY ONE: Go and hold it, WITH THE STRAP ON. This is important because the trap lug on the camera is normally covered by the dangling strap hoop. So when you hold it like that it might feel alright. However, with the strap on, the hoop is out of the way, and the lug sort of digs into your middle finger. It took about 1hour of handling for me to change my grip to hold it comfortably. After that it was great. I can see this being an issue for a lot of people.
View finder: Many reviews say its small, but considering need to fit the aspect ration of 4:3, one gets used to it really quickly.
Camera usage:
The menu system: is extremely odd, coming from Nikon. "OK" button in the middle of the directional arrows actually acts as "back" or "exit" ehehhe got used to it soon enough though.
The Back LCD menu: really useful and, quite frankly, I feel like "hard buttons" for all the settings you can change with 2-3 clicks aren't that important to me.
BEFORE YOU BUY: Coming from Nikon, the "fn" or function button was located next to the lens, reached by thumb of the left hand while holding the camera, the "fn" button is now ON TOP of the camera, on the left side. Not really ideal position, considering the way you are kind of forced to hold it ( The only way I can a person pressing that button while using the camera is if they are holding it as a Point and Shoot and using live-view....not that there's anything wrong with that) i.e. can not change settings without pulling camera away.
Preliminary image quality thoughts: The first couple of shots I took scared me. I thought I would have to return the camera and take the 15% re-stocking fee hit. THEN I started to dig through the menus, and changed a couple of things. TURN GRADATION AWAY FROM AUTO. That "special feature" while useful in certain situation, produced ALOT of unnecessary noise EVEN at iso100. So, keep it at normal. Noise filter and Noise reduction can be tweaked to personal pref. I set Filter to OFF and Reduction to standard. THEN I took some pictures and were quite happy with it eheheh.... Now the image quality wise, so far I found the D40 JPGs to be slightly less Noisy, but the difference is minor. Color is more accurate on the e-420 however. I feel that with some more tweaking of the settings the image quality will be very good, if not excellent. ( I would say it's a tie, with the e-420 with a resolution edge, and D40 with a Noise edge) My skills had never allowed me to "out resolve" the D40 or any lens, and I HIGHLY doubt my skills will "out resolve" the e-420.
One thing is that the shutter sounds really quiet compared to D40. Where as the D40 is a "slap!" the e-420 is more of a "snick!" Not silent, but def. not as loud as D40.
BEFORE YOU BUY: Find the PDF version of the E-420 manual online and read it. It'll save you alot of time + frustration + remorse.
Kit lens: Very nice, but slow (I was so used to using the Sigma 30mm f1.4 on the D40 hehehe... spoiled). The Bokeh is quite amazing considering its a kit lens. I would even say it's better than the sigma 30mm. (I never found the "unique" Bokeh of the sigma to be very attractive). Very silent focusing, and very light (considering the reach)
BEFORE YOU BUY: The manual focus ring is, well, bad. The lens focuses by wire, meaning that when you turn the focus ring, it sends a signal to the body, then sends a signal to the focus motor in the lens, and it moves the elements. Your turning, is in no way mechanically connected to the actual focusing elements in the lens. If that's important to you. Try it out first.
Other things to look out for: Coming from Nikon D40, this camera is jam packed with features. All the reviews point out things like wireless flash control and what not, but actual auto bracketing for me was a feature I couldn't believe nikon left out on the D40, Live view will hopefully allow ME to be in more pictures now...
All in all, very happy with the camera, Will post pictures taken with it soon, and as soon as the pancake is widely available, I will do a Nikon D40 + Sigma 30mm VS Olympus E-420 + 25mm Pancake comparason
PS. if you havn't noticed. Its small.
Virtual Tour companies are a dime a dozen. And they're pretty much all the same - except SavvyTours. SavvyTours is a completely new concept. This 90 sec video attempts to explain "What's so great about SavvyTours" in a way that gets to the point and makes the viewer want to learn more (hopefully). :-)

Video & sound setup. Last year I converted the system to 2 computers and dualhead2go. My two old workhorses, G5 and 03D still loyally working on the side with Von Krahl's MacPro.
It was explained to me that one couldn't borrow a book for home here, it wasn't that sort of library; one had to order a specific book or material on a subject and read / study it in one of the Reading Rooms.

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
