When I traveled home for Labor Day weekend, I made a spur of the moment decision to go into a salon to dye and try a different hairstyle. Even with my hair, I had gotten into a rut and felt the only solution was spontaneity. I snapped a picture as soon as I arrived home and saw the entire final result in the mirror. While I still have not adjusted to the shorter hair, I like the challenge of seeing beauty in myself regardless of my outer appearance. And though I do spend majority of my time outside of the house, this selfie in addition to others prove I need to focus less on criticizing myself in the mirror. With the extra weight off of my shoulders as well as with the mentioned wake-up call, there is more time for other, crucial parts of my identity: daughter, friend, nurse and so forth.
Change of plans. Some learning comes with new tools, this was staring me in the face the entire time, but only now, when I’m doing my roughing copes, that I realized I cannot proceed as before, which was run the chinstays long, fit dropouts etc, then cope them to an accurate length. The style was to leave just enough material so that the B.B. taps skim off the tops and create threads, no grinding. Well, can’t do that here, but a trick that’s super smart, I learned from the net, years ago, never applied it, but liked it, specifically from Curt Goodrich, make them about a mm short, it’s a good trick because you can see a ring of filler, finish everything professional like, ie, clean, no finger cutting burrs etc.
If, I Modified the fixture, pretty simple really, I could sorta still leave them long. In this case, Nestor is adapting, you can teach old dogs new tricks, I think!
Funnily enough, In this case, I can have both, business in the front, and party in the back, due to the design of the Pacenti B.B.
Pictures tell the story, will I ever get away from the mullet? Yes, I was mulletted, and I fought for it sadly!:) Never said I was Smart, determined yes.
On January 20th 2009 our Country will have it's first minority President. Certainly a historical change, but more importantly it will change the whole dynamics of our top government and we the people. Barrack will bring fidelity and continuity. People will get involved once again not unlike the J.F.K. days. The 44th president of the United States has brought immediate change, we can only hope he can bring the changes needed.
HBW!!!!

More changing sumac leaves on the far lakeshore. Likely more of these to come, one of my favorite leaves to watch change each year.
This was a beautiful shoot with a very talented violinist. This amazing young woman not only proved to be a gifted model, but treated me to my own private concert throughout the entire shoot.
My camera has bought me the most amazing opportunities, led me to, and treated me to unforgettable moments and has simply changed my life. I don't know where I would be now if I hadn't found photography, and let it change my life the way that it has.

CFA organised a “National Seminar on Changing Landscape and Growing Financial Crisis in the Power Sector” on September 1st & 2nd, 2018. The venue for the programme is USO International Centre (USOIC), USO House, USO Road, 6, Special Institutional Area, New Delhi-110067 and the session will start from 9:30 AM.
This two day seminar will bring together experts, activists and journalists, who are monitoring and raising issues related to power sector to understand current landscape and changes in policies, failure of the regulatory mechanisms, growing burden on Public Sector Banks due to NPAs in electricity sector, etc. and fruitless attempts to solve the deepening financial crisis by the government in this sector.
In the past few years, a major shift has taken place in the power sector on several fronts including environment clearance, national forest policy, coal mining regulation, power purchase agreement (PPA), fuel supply agreement (FSA) and policies of financial institutions. In India, the shift started with Electricity Act, 2003 which unbundled the State Electricity Boards in three separate companies for generation, transmission and distribution along with delicensing the thermal power sector giving a free hand to private companies to expand power projects. This model was imposed by the World Bank which aimed to bring the private companies into the safer and profitable zones.
These changes have pushed for privatization in the power sector favouring the big companies often going against the interest of people. The private developers setting up thermal power plants took undue advantage of the situation and forced the state power utilities to sign PPA for a period of 25 years with a deemed generation clause, where this clause forced the power distribution companies (Discoms) to pay for the power that they may not consume during the lean periods. These thermal power plants are spread all over the river basins across India and have been grabbing the land and forests for the projects and mining. There is a fight to control the natural resources of the country whether it is land, forests, minerals or rivers. The coal-based power projects apart from causing massive displacement also hugely impact the livelihoods of communities, who in most cases are farmers, Adivasis and Dalits. These projects also adversely impact the environment causing serious health concerns for people and destruction of ecology. The energy needs of urban India is being fulfilled at the cost of land and livelihoods of rural communities.
The expansion of power projects is not only affecting the environment and natural resources but also robbing the public of their own money through companies taking huge loans from the banks for these projects and not repaying them. However, this robbing of public money is not limited to the power sector alone. Currently, the Indian banks are facing a financial crisis due to a staggering amount of stressed assets (Gross NPAs + Restructured Advances). Indian banks’ gross Non-Performing Assets (NPAs), or bad loans, stood at Rs 10.25 lakh crore as of 31 March 2018. Last quarter, the pile has grown by Rs 1.39 lakh crore or 16 per cent from Rs 8.86 lakh crore as on 31 December 2017. In the RBI’s Financial Stability Report, the apex bank said that the Gross NPA (GNPA) ratio of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) is likely to rise in the current fiscal.
The problem of NPAs in power sector was highlighted in 2017 through two key power projects – Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (4000MW) owned by TATA Power and Adani’s Mundra Thermal Power Project (4660MW), which were incurring massive losses and asked the state government to bail them out. The trend of the government bailing out private companies with public money is growing day by day. In March 2018, a report was published by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Energy to focus on the ‘Stressed/Non-Performing Assets’ in the electricity sector. The committee identified 34 thermal power projects worth Rs. 1.74 lakh crore were on verge of becoming NPAs. It is worthwhile to note that out of these 34 thermal power plants, 32 power plants belonged to the private sector, while only two were from the public sector. Apart from that, the committee highlighted that Stressed Assets were around 17.67% (Rs. 98,799 crores) of the total advances in the thermal power sector.
These projects have been given loans in tune of lakhs of crores rupees by Indian banking and non-banking institutions. The current government made a number of unsuccessful attempts to resolve this mounting financial crisis, including a number of mechanisms such as Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC), Bad Bank Formula, Project Sashakt, etc. Now the government has set up a committee headed by cabinet secretary to look into the matter. It raises the questions on the intentions of the government whether they really want to resolve this or making some visible attempt due to an upcoming election.
The consequences of this situation are that the stressed assets of banks are compounding due to the haphazard expansion of projects by power companies, which are eventually being bailed out by the government through public money. On the one hand private companies are robbing the public money and on the other hand, they are ignoring the social and environmental impacts of these projects.

Through Asia EDGE, USAID is strengthening partnerships with private sector leaders to unlock energy solutions that include natural gas, solar, and small scale hydro energy. USAID works closely with Thai company, B.Grimm Power across the region to deploy today's cleanest energy technologies and meet the region's critical energy needs. With support from USAID’s Clean Power Asia, B.Grimm Power supports a number of partnership and financing options for large-scale power projects across South East Asia. This includes work here in Thailand, but also in Vietnam and Laos where the company supports renewable energy projects in solar generation and small-hydro activities. With USAID's help, B.Grimm Power launched one of the largest solar farms in Southeast Asia in Vietnam, where renewable energy is still relatively new. " USAID helped explore a number of partnership and financing options to support our efforts in Vietnam," said CEO Preeyanart Soontornwata. "Without USAID's efforts to facilitate partnership and financing options, our Vietnamese project would not have received financing in time."
Sometimes I think myself very clever. This is one of those times. Taken for the "What Do You Want?" pool assignment: Change.
Not only are the cds changing position, but each disc you see has a song on it with the word 'change' in the title. On the left (and moving left) is J.J. Cale's "Travel Log" album with 'Change Your Mind', then the first disc in the "Wasted" compilation with the very rare Underworld tune 'Change' (or Why why why), and lastly Sheryl Crow's self titled album with 'A Change Would Do you Good'.

Belfast's tradition of political murals is a century old, dating from 1908 when images of King Billy (William III, Protestant victor over the Catholic James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690) were painted by Unionists protesting against home rule for Ireland. The tradition was revived in the late 1970s as the Troubles wore on, with murals used to mark out sectarian territory, make political points, commemorate historical events and glorify terrorist groups. As the 'voice of the community' the murals are apparently rarely permanent, but change to reflect the issues of the day.
The first Republican murals appeared in 1981, when the hunger strike at Maze Prison saw the emergence of dozens of murals supporting the hunger strikers. In later years, Republican muralists broadened their scope to cover wider political issues, Irish legends and historical events. After the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, the murals came to demand policy reform and the protection of nationalists from sectarian attacks. Common images seen in Republican murals include the phoenix rising from the flames, the face of hunger-striker Bobby Sands, and scenes and figures from Irish mythology.
Whereas Republican murals were often artistic and rich in symbolic imagery, the Loyalist ones have traditionally been more militaristic and defiant in tone. The Loyalist battle cry of 'No Surrender!' is everywhere, along with red, white and blue painted kerbstones, paramilitary insignia and images of King Billy, usually shown on a prancing white horse. You will also see the Red Hand of Ulster, sometimes shown as a clenched fist and references to the WWI Battle of the Somme in 1916 in which many Ulster soldiers died; it is seen as a symbol of Ulster's loyalty to the British crown, in contrast to the Republican Easter Rising of 1916. In this mural, quis-separabit means 'Who Shall Divide Us?'.
Day 2: My full-time roommate is adapting, too. She's stayed very, very close the past couple of days...this is what I woke to. VERY CLOSE.
"My life is a tapestry woven from many strands: things I have done, people I have known, and places I have been. There is a strand for each of my dreams and aspirations since childhood. Some have been dropped in the weaving, but most have simply been woven into a new design. It is a tapestry woven of light and darkness, and even in the times of greatest darkness there are strands of light which shine more brightly in contrast to the surrounding darkness.
I carry this tapestry with me always. Often, I keep the past tightly rolled up - it is easier to carry that way. But I find myself now at a particular point where I want to unroll the tapestry and marvel at the patterns and designs that have been created. At different stages, different colors and textures predominate. Everything that has brought me to this point in life is here. All of it is who I am now.
If the past and the present are here, is not the future also? Is the potential for all that I can be contained in this tapestry? I want to move forward from this point conscious of the patterns in my life and the design I am creating with it."
