In 1986, i gave a series of lectures in China on Tobacco and Public Health. These were at China's first international conference on tobacco and health in Tianjin, as well as Beijing Medical College and Shanghai First Medical College. My surname is rendered in Mandarin, pronounced something like "To" "Se" "Ma". See scroll photo.
This scroll contains a collection of Mahayana Sutras and incantations written in ink on paper using the Khotanese and Sanskrit languages. The ancient kingdom of Khotan was located on the Silk Road (Xinjiang, northwest China) and was one of the main centres of Buddhism until the 11th century. This scroll was commissioned by a Buddhist patron requesting long life for himself and his family. (Dunhuang, China, 943 CE).

TOPOGRAPHIE DES TERRORS
Die Institutionen des NS-Terrors
Auf dem Gelände der „Topographie des Terrors“, neben dem Martin-Gropius-Bau und unweit des Potsdamer Platzes, befanden sich von 1933 bis 1945 die wichtigsten Zentralen des nationalsozialistischen Terrors: das Geheime Staatspolizeiamt mit eigenem „Hausgefängnis“, die Reichsführung-SS, der Sicherheitsdienst (SD) der SS und während des Zweiten Weltkriegs auch das Reichssicherheitshauptamt.
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg geriet die Geschichte des Orts allmählich in Vergessenheit. Die von Gestapo und SS genutzten Gebäude waren durch Bombenangriffe zerstört oder stark beschädigt worden. Ihre Reste wurden bis Mitte der 1950er Jahre gesprengt und abgerissen. Durch die Teilung der Stadt rückte das Gelände an den Rand West-Berlins und war ab 1961 im Norden von der Berliner Mauer begrenzt.
Erst Ende der 1970er Jahre wurde der historische Ort "wiederentdeckt". Verfolgtenverbände und Bürgerrechtsvereinigungen wiesen auf die historische Bedeutung des Orts hin.
BAUDENKMAL BERLINER MAUER
Die Berliner Mauer wurde weltweit zum Symbol der Teilung Deutschlands nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und darüber hinaus Symbol des Kalten Krieges zwischen Ost und West.
Der Bau der Mauer begann am 13. August 1961. Mit dieser über 150 km langen Grenzsperranlage riegelte die Regierung der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik (DDR) Ost-Berlin und das übrige Gebiet der DDR hermetisch ab.
Das 200 m lange Reststück der Mauer an der Niederkirchnerstraße – die hier die Grenze zwischen den Bezirken Mitte (Ost-Berlin) und Kreuzberg (West-Berlin) markierte – wurde auf Wunsch der „Topographie des Terrors“ mit allen Spuren der Zerstörung aus der Zeit des Mauerfalls erhalten und 1990 unter Denkmalschutz gestellt. Das Mauerfragment ist heute Bestandteil des Dokumentationszentrums Topographie des Terrors. Als eines der wenigen noch erhaltenen Mauerreste in der Stadt ist es auch eine Station innerhalb des vom Berliner Senat entwickelten „Gesamtkonzepts Berliner Mauer“.

TOPOGRAPHY OF TERROR
The institutions of Nazi terror
From 1933 to 1945, the most important centres of National Socialist terror were located on the site of the "Topography of Terror", next to the Martin-Gropius-Bau and not far from Potsdamer Platz: the Secret State Police Office with its own "house prison", the Reichsführung-SS, the Security Service (SD) of the SS and, during the Second World War, the Reich Security Main Office.
After the Second World War, the history of the site was gradually forgotten. The buildings used by the Gestapo and SS were destroyed or severely damaged by bombing raids. Their remains were blown up and demolished by the mid-1950s. Due to the division of the city, the site moved to the edge of West Berlin and was bordered by the Berlin Wall to the north from 1961.
The historic site was only "rediscovered" at the end of the 1970s. Organisations representing victims of persecution and civil rights associations drew attention to the historical significance of the site.
BERLIN WALL MONUMENT
The Berlin Wall became a worldwide symbol of the division of Germany after the Second World War, and also symbolised the Cold War between East and West.
Construction of the Wall began on August 13,1961, when the government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) hermetically sealed off East Berlin and the rest of the GDR with this 150 km long border barrier.
The 200-metre-long remaining section of the Wall on Niederkirchnerstraße - which here marked the border between the districts of Mitte (East Berlin) and Kreuzberg (West Berlin) - was preserved at the request of the "Topography of Terror" with all traces of destruction from the time of the fall of the Wall and placed under a preservation order in 1990. The Wall fragment is now part of the Topography of Terror Documentation Centre. As one of the few remaining remnants of the Wall in the city, it is also a station within the "Overall Berlin Wall Concept" developed by the Berlin Senate.
My sister is opening another music school and I've promised to take some violin pictures to be hanged on the wall. Hopefully this set of pictures is good enough. :)

Words are by myself:
Peace be upon you, We greet you well. As it was for our predecessors, we decree that the Crown's subjects, not lame nor having no lawful impediment, and being over the age of 11 years, except for spiritual men, justices and Barons of the Exchequer, make well use of the bow and to have a bow contunually in one's house along with such arrows as being necessary for an archer to arm him or herself for war. And that no stranger shall wield a bow near Our Majesty, We, Marcus and Marguirete, King and Queen of Sylvan AEthelmearc, do affirm and award Arms to Snorri sketi Bjornnson and call him Lord Snorri and further do We command that the newly created Lord Snorri, as mentioned above, travel to Our College of Heralds where, with consultation, a device worthy of a Lord shall be created for you that you and you alone shall bear. And we put Our hands to this paper so that all shall know of Our will. Done on the 11th of February, AS 51, in the Barony of Deftwood, at the Feast of the Seven Deadlie Sins.

I took a class on Calligraphy last semester. I never thought I'd put my new found skills to the test. My two best friends are getting married to each other on May 1st of this year and they asked me to make their guest scroll for them. I was honored and completely nervous. This is how it turned out. The dates is really crooked and it makes me angry but Dena and Eugene seem to like it and they are excited to use it. It'll feel weird signing my name to my own work on May 1st!
I blotted out the last names and place for protection reasons. :) 2009.

Scrolls Lace pattern from More Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch. Knit with Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn single-ply wool on number 1 double points.
The Noro colors were lovely. I wanted fraternal socks, so knit one from the outside of the skein and the other from the inside. The yarn is crunchy and the “thin-thick-lumpy” ply OK. Not too problematic, but tricky with the yarn-overs.

This was actually the first photo I took of this scroll. I had been really into making it and hadn't thought of taking photos!
