These are the euro coins I have collected exclusively in Heidelberg, Germany.
I used to have some Irish euro coins too but I can't find them anymore. I'd probably spent them somewhere without knowing it.
And I have none of the euro coins from Monaco, Portugal, San Marino and Vatican. I hope I can get them in the future. And as far as I know, Finnish one cent is not in circulation. You have to buy them specifically. (I suspect the same applies to the Vatican euro coins too.)
And yes because of the poor light quality of my room, you can't see the detail of each coin. If I ever have the motivation again, I will take the photo once more under better condition. (A very big IF, that is.)
Light graffiti produced with Alex Heath and Tom Bridge. This one's a keeper too. I particularly like the way you can slightly see the red highlights on the person producing the light whereas the blue is unconnected.
It is important to be a part of a community wherever in the world you live. (International school in the suburbs of Bergen.)

USAG Red Cloud wins its first-ever Army Communities of Exellence Award
By Franklin Fisher
USAG Red Cloud Public Affairs
CAMP RED CLOUD, South Korea – The U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud has won its first-ever Army Communities of Excellence Award, given to military communities that operate at a level of
excellence.
The garrison was awarded an ACOE
honorable mention, and is one of 12 Army garrisons worldwide to receive the ACOE recognition this year.
USAG Red Cloud manages Army
installations in Area I, which stretches from Uijeongbu north of Seoul to Korea’s Demilitarized Zone.
Garrison officials are waiting to
receive a detailed report from ACOE spelling out what it found to be the garrison’s strengths and areas needing improvement, said Ron James, chief of the garrison’s Plans, Analysis and
Integration Office. ACOE sends such reports to all garrisons chosen for awards, he said.
“I think it’s safe to say within a month or so we’ll receive our results,” James said.
But garrison officials believe the award was based heavily on the dramatic strides made in creating the facilities and services needed to transform Area
I from a duty station that for decades was for unaccompanied Soldiers serving without families, to one with command sponsorship for families.
Among some of the most important
of those projects was establishment of Casey Elementary School, Area I’s
first-ever Defense Department school, and completion of its second wing.
Among other key projects completed are renovation of a Community Activity Center at Camp Red Cloud with the addition of a new youth center; the opening at Camp Casey of
a Child Development Center, a School Age Services/Youth Center, and a new Army Community Service building, which serves at the hub for ACS activities in Area I.
Also important were renovation
of outdoor swimming pools at Camp
Casey’s Hanson Fitness Center, and the successful staging of several large-scale community recreational events. Those included an event on
Independence Day, one on Labor
Day, as well as a first-ever DFMWR Expo, which showcased the varied community services provided by the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation.
Additional factors, garrison officials said, were an award of full accreditation “with commendation” to ACS, it’s first
such recognition after expanding
its services for the growing number of command-sponsored families.
Also, Casey’s commissary won an L. Mendel Rivers Award as the best small overseas commissary from the Defense Commissary Agency, and the award to the Casey Main Dining Facility of a
prestigious runner-up Department of the Army Phillip A. Connelly Award for excellence in Army food service.
Beyond those, said James, officials believe ACOE took note of the garrison’s robust efforts to get information to its
far-flung communities by making the most of advances in communications technology, including use of Facebook.
Chief among those efforts were
USAG Red Cloud’s live broadcasts of town hall meetings via UStream on Facebook.
And a survey that brought
predominantly favorable comments
from employees who were asked their opinions of the garrison also weighed in the garrison’s favor, James said.
But an even more crucial indicator of customer satisfaction, garrison
officials said, are the Interactive Customer Evaluation, or ICE comments it received. Of the 9,027 comments submitted in 2011, said James, 95 percent gave the garrison an overall satisfactory rating.
Meanwhile, a number of important
projects are either recently completed or currently under way, including the move of both the Warrior Reception Center and Central Issue Facility from
Camp Stanley to Camp Hovey; a $4
million project to renovate indoor pools at Camps Red Cloud, Hovey and Stanley; and a $1.2 million renovation of the West Casey Chapel, among others.
“I’m delighted that our garrison –
for the first time ever – was named an Army Community of Excellence,” said Col. Hank Dodge, commander of USAG Red Cloud and Area I.
“I’m proud of our employees and I
know they take great pride in serving our community,” Dodge said. “But the real beneficiaries of this award are the Soldiers, civilian employees and family members who call Warrior Country their home. We’ve really improved our
service to the community and it will only continue to get better.”
ACOE will present the winning
garrisons with their awards at a formal ceremony at the Pentagon May 1, James said.

The Army Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) is a large-scale, semiannual field evaluation of network and non-network capabilities. The U.S. Army Electronic Proving Ground (USAEPG) at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, traditionally provides test and evaluation support and instrumentation to NIEs. However, with NIE 14.2, the latest evaluation, USAEPG provided the additional support of a network forensics team that made a positive impact on network troubleshooting, reliability and network protection. Gathering lessons on interactions with the test community, industry partners or units being fielded with a new technology can result in significant benefit to other programs.

Monday 4 - Thursday 7 November, 10:00am - 4:00pm
Various Locations
Across Dundee
NEoN is bringing the Travelling Gallery to town, Day of Access exhibition will pop up in various locations across the city.
Travelling Gallery is delighted to be working with Alec Finlay to support Day of Access, a powerful campaign which encourages estates to open their land to allow access for people affected by disability. By using hill tracks and four-wheel drives, people who have never been able to immerse themselves in wild nature are driven into the heart Scotland’s beautiful wild landscape.
The Day of Access campaign passionately believes that everyone should have the opportunity to experience wild nature. Travelling Gallery will act as the campaign bus touring Day of Access across Scotland; presenting information and artworks and allowing a space for discussions. Documentation from the pilot Day of Access, including work by young photographer Sam McDiarmid, will be exhibited in an art installation created by Finlay.
The themes of disability, access and ecological remediation are explored in Finlay’s poems and artwork. Pages from books exploring illness, pain, walking and healing, including A View from the Front Line by Maggie Keswick Jencks, are used as paper for thoughtful drawings and commanding words “THERE CAN NEVER BE AN EXCESS OF ACCESS”.
Alongside his own work Alec has invited other artists and poets to exhibit including Hannah Devereaux, Alison Lloyd, Ken Cockburn and Mhairi Law; each bringing their own creativity and experience to the project. The work is collaboratively displayed like a scrap book or diary pinned on a garden trellis, alongside other domestic apparatus and soft furnishings, such as blankets, a clothes horse, and hankies.
About the Artist:
Alec Finlay (Scotland, 1966) is an internationally-recognised artist and poet whose work crosses over a range of media and forms. Much of Finlay’s work considers how we as a culture, or cultures, relate to landscape and ecology. Through permanent and temporary interventions, integrative web-based projects, and publications, Finlay weaves together generous experiential works, often collaborative, sometimes mapped directly onto the landscape, embedded socially or accessed online. Recently Finlay’s work has focussed on place-awareness and ecopoetics.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Four Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) rolled onto the green grass at Orlando’s Blue Jacket Park in two Humvees to support hundreds of racers, organizers, veterans and volunteers participating in the 9th Annual Wounded Warfighter Lone Sailor 5K/10K April 14, 2018.
Hosted by the Central Florida Council of the United States Navy League, the race featured more than 600 runners, walkers and rollers who, together with more than a dozen corporate sponsors and non-profit partners, raised approximately $54,000 for the Camaraderie Foundation.
Dedicated to saving lives, families and marriages for service members and veterans, the Camaraderie Foundation offers counseling programs designed to heal the invisible wounds of war.
The race took place in conjunction with a dedication ceremony of the Blue Jacket Recruit, a statue of a female recruit standing for inspection on her day of graduation from Navy Boot Camp. Designed by J. Don Reynolds, a world renowned sculptor who once served in the Navy aboard the U.S.S. Yorktown, the heroic scale statue commemorates 188,000 women who began their naval careers at Orlando Recruit Training Center from 1968-1994. The statue stands next a Lone Sailor statue that signifies Central Florida’s rich military heritage and America’s gender integration in its armed forces.
The ceremony featured several distinguished guests to include Carla Hoskins, a graduate of Orlando RTC, Jennifer Thompson, vice mayor of Orange County, and Stephanie Murphy, U.S. congresswoman for Florida’s 7th District. The 143d ESC Soldiers joined them and hundreds others in attendance in expressing their respect for more than 650,000 men and women who marched on this hallowed ground.
