I really miss my old cello. I will probably have to wait another 10 years to have a nice acoustic cello. It would have cost more to repair than it was worth, so when I disassembled it, I kept certain pieces for sentimental reasons.
This side scrolling bar mysteriously appeared on my Flickr photostream late this afternoon. Is it a glitch or is it a new "improvement?" Well, I certainly hope it isn't here to stay. I use a desktop computer and it's been added as if I were using a cellphone and a tall and narrow-width screen. I have plenty enough width on my screen so that it doesn't need the side scrolling bar to get all the information to fit in my screen. Please don't take the functionality away from us desktop users all for the sake of some other upstart platform.
April 22, 2010 Ð Scroll of Honor Dedication. Nearly 500 Clemson University graduates who died in service to their country were remembered Thursday during dedication ceremonies for the Scroll of Honor. Clemson President James Barker and selected dignitaries unveiled two purple-shrouded tiger statues as a crowd of up 1,000 applauded and stood at attention. To date 470 names are etched into the stone scroll. There are 27 names from WWI; one from the Nicaraguan campaign; 378 from WWII; 17 more from Korea; one, that of a pilot, from the Cuban missile crisis; 25 from the Vietnam War: and 19 from the Cold War era and the wars on terror. Two additional names were added just as the ceremony took place. The Clemson Corps, organized in 1999, is responsible for maintaining the Scroll of Honor records. The corps is associated with the Clemson Alumni Association and helps raise funds for the preservation of ClemsonÕs military history and the creation of scholarships for ROTC cadets..
The Clemson Corps maintains the Scroll of Honor to honor those Clemson alumni who made the ultimate sacrifice- those who gave their lives in service to their country. To date, 470 alumni have been identified who were killed from WWI through the current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
This is a photograph from the 4th annual running of the Donadea 50K Ultramarathon which was held in Donadea Forest, Stapelstown, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 10:00 on February 15th 2014. The race was also an International Association of Ultrarunners Bronze Label Event and the Athletics Association of Ireland (AAI) National 50KM Championships. Over 160 participants took part in the event.

The event took place on a 5KM loop of Donadea Forest Park (read more below). The recent stormy and very wet conditions in Ireland made way for perfect running weather for the race. There was a slight breeze here and there on the route but for the most part the route was very sheltered. With so much running traffic on the course certain parts of the course became more muddy as time went on. However, this bother the participants who were expecting conditions to be much more difficult.
Congratulations to Anthony Lee of Donadea Running Club and Donadea Running Club for putting countless hours of voluntary effort into the staging of this event. The event has all the hallmarks of a professional event. There was a superb atmosphere around the loop as locals and other runners supported the runners.
Donadea Forest Park is situated in rural north Kildare and is approximately 640 acres in size. The amenities at the forest include good walking trails, a diversity of natural habitats, a walled stream, a large natural lake, and the ruins of Donadea castle. The Park is a designated National Heritage Area. The basic designation for wildlife is the Natural Heritage Area (NHA). This is an area considered important for the habitats present or which holds species of plants and animals whose habitat needs protection. It is a special event to allow the 50KM to be held in this environment.

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

No doubt a different experience compared to staying at a traditional inn in Kyoto, but this one brings you closer to natural scenery than man-made gardens.

The Assumption, Great Witchingham, Norfolk
The parish extends to the busy Norwich to Fakenham road, but the church is up in a quiet hamlet in the hills. A grand Perpendicular church with one of Norfolk's most memorable seven sacrament fonts, its reliefs still coloured and the Evangelists and Latin Doctors under the bowl.
For many years this church was kept locked, but now appears to be open daily.
The full title of this「心經」is 「般若波羅蜜多心經」, and in English it is "Prajina-paramita Heart Sutra", which means "the perfection of Wisdom of the Buddha". At only 260 words, it is the shortest sutra, but is also the most intelligent one.
Here is the sutra in Chinese:
觀自在菩薩
行深般若波羅蜜多時
照見五蘊皆空
度一切苦厄
舍利子
色不異空
空不異色
色即是空
空即是色
受、想、行、識，亦復如是
舍利子，是諸法空相
不生不滅
不垢不淨
不增不減
是故空中無色
無受想行識
無眼耳鼻舌身意
無色聲香味觸法
無眼界乃至無意識界
無無明
亦無無明盡
乃至無老死
亦無老死盡
無苦集滅道
無智亦無得
以無所得故
菩提薩埵
依般若波羅蜜多故
心無罣礙
無罣礙故
無有恐怖
遠離顛倒夢想
究竟涅槃
三世諸佛
依般若波羅蜜多故
得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提
故知般若波羅蜜多
是大神咒
是大明咒
是無上咒
是無等等咒
能除一切苦
真實不虛
故說般若波羅蜜多咒‧即說咒曰：
揭諦‧揭諦‧波羅揭諦‧波羅僧揭諦‧菩提薩婆訶

I have decided I will try to learn engravings into metal parts too, so here is a sketch I did, inspired by Norwegian art form "rosemaling", trying to learn the scroll work.. I guess this can be very useful when laying gold leaf motives and making designs for leather seats as well.
The engraving tool I´ll look into is the Steve Lindsay Airgraver, but it will cost me at least $2000. It looks awesome and the inspiration is to be able to engrave motorcycle parts as well.. The other day I found a woman living in Telemark, Norway using that equipment, so I found her email and sent her some questions.. within a few days I got a very kind reply where she said, I could feel free to call her if I had more questions, so I called her.. we ended up speaking on the phone for almost two hours and at the end of the conversation she offered me to loan one of her engraving systems to see if I liked it. She didn´t want any kind of deposit or paying for the shipping cost or anything.. that´s what I call good old fashioned trust, and I´m exited like a kid to check this out! :-)
This is my first scroll based on an authentic illuminated medieval manuscript, painted on cream cardstock to give the appearance of parchment.

The Cordaid-team often meets with the other aid organizations and representatives of the Ugandan government to coordinate the activities in the settlement.
Cordaid in northern Uganda
In the Imvepi refugee settlement in northern Uganda, 128.249 refugees from war-torn South Sudan are trying to pick up their lives again (March 2018). Imvepi is one of many settlements in Uganda and in total over one million people from South Sudan have crossed the border to Uganda in search of safety. When they arrived, they had no access to basic facilities and essential necessities like food and water.
Uganda has internationally been praised for its friendly 'open door' refugee policy but could understandably not handle this enormous crisis on its own. A large consortium of international NGOs stepped up and helped the Ugandan government to make sure the refugees are protected from disasters like famine, drought and the spreading of diseases.
In Imvepi, Cordaid has built a water supply system that produces up to 80.000 liters a day and serves thousands of people. The innovative solar-powered system is a sustainable alternative to watertrucking, which is an expensive way to transport water to all - sometimes remote - areas of the settlement. Although a necessary first response, with watertrucking the distribution of the minimum of 20 liters of water per person per day isn’t always reached.
Cordaid's water supply provides 22 liters per person per day to 4600 beneficiaries. Throughout the settlement, Cordaid has placed ten tapping stations to ensure easy access to clean and safe water for everyone in the area.
Providing water goes hand in hand with hygiene responsibility. Poor hygienic conditions could cause potentially deadly diseases to spread rapidly. That is why Cordaid constructed latrines around schools and busy marketplaces, as well as hundreds of household latrines. On top of that Cordaid works together with a team of refugees who promote good hygiene to the families through an educational entertainment program.
Through local partner organization Caritas Arua, Cordaid executes a livelihood program in which beneficiaries receive seeds and farming equipment to start growing crops for consumption and income generation by selling the products on the local market.
Cordaid’s activities in northern Uganda have been made possible by funds from the Dutch public donated to the national Giro555 famine campaign in March 2017.

Het Cordaid-team komt vaak samen met andere hulporganisaties en vertegenwoordigers van de Oegandese overheid om de activiteiten in het vluchtelingenkamp te coördineren.
Cordaid in Noord-Oeganda
In het Imvepi vluchtelingenkamp in Noord-Oeganda zitten 128.249 vluchtelingen uit Zuid-Soedan (maart 2018). Zij zijn gevlucht voor de verschrikkingen van de oorlog in hun land en proberen hun leven weer op te pakken. In totaal zijn meer dan een miljoen Zuid-Soedanezen de grens overgestoken.
Bij aankomst in Oeganda ontbrak het ze aan de eerste levensbehoeften.
Oeganda vangt de vluchtelingen met open armen op, maar de overheid kan de enorme omvang van het probleem niet alleen aan.
Daarom is er een samenwerkingsverband in het leven geroepen van internationale hulporganisaties om ervoor te zorgen dat de vluchtelingen niet bezwijken aan de gevolgen van honger, droogte of de verspreiding van ziektes.
In het Imvepi-kamp heeft Cordaid watervoorzieningen gebouwd om 80.000 liter water per dag te verdelen onder duizenden mensen. Het moderne systeem, dat wordt aangedreven door zonne-energie, biedt een duurzaam alternatief voor 'watertrucking'. Dat is een dure methode om water te transporteren naar alle verre uithoeken van het uitgestrekte kamp.
Hoewel het noodzakelijk is om snel water bij mensen in nood te krijgen, lukt het vaak niet om hiermee iedereen te voorzien van het minimum van 20 liter per persoon per dag.
Het watersysteem van Cordaid levert 22 liter per persoon per dag aan 4600 mensen. Er zijn 10 waterpunten in het kamp gebouwd om ervoor te zorgen dat iedereen in het gebied makkelijk toegang heeft tot schoon drinkwater.
Bij het leveren van schoon en veilig water hoort ook goede hygiëne. Door slechte hygiënische omstandigheden kunnen gevaarlijke ziektes makkelijk verspreiden. Daarom heeft Cordaid latrines gebouwd rond schoolgebouwen en drukke marktplaatsen en wc's bij de hutten van families.
Ook heeft Cordaid een team van vluchtelingen samengesteld die op een aanstekelijke wijze met zang en dans langs de families gaan om betere en veilige hygiëne te promoten.
Tot slot zorgt Cordaid via partnerorganisatie Caritas Arua ook voor de verstrekking van zaden en landbouwgereedschappen, zodat vluchtelingen gewassen kunnen verbouwen. Voor consumptie en voor de verkoop op de markt.
De werkzaamheden van Cordaid in Noord-Oeganda zijn mogelijk gemaakt door de gulle donaties van het Nederlandse volk aan de actie ‘Help slachtoffers hongersnood’ in maart 2017.
