This is a photograph of Asha Bahtia who works as a teacher for the blind for one of the NAB projects in Mumbai. Although acceptance for the blind is still a problem, people like Asha are working to change that. She said that families, even though they do not abandon blind or seeing impaired family members, they may be overprotective or neglect them. Part of Asha's work is to educate families and also to assist the seeing impaired to become more independent. Asha is standing near a huge traffic light that she says is used to teach the seeing impaired about crossing the street. Seeing impaired people are helped to learn everyday life skills, including navigating the trains, which is difficult even for fully sighted persons.
This particular project also offers accredited paramedical training in accupressure, physio-therapy and massage. Because it is a professional course, students have to pay a small, but affordable fee. The approach is to promote independence for seeing impaired people as much as possible. The school also has a garden project. Students are taught how to tend plants and this particular project grows and sells wheatgrass. Asha, an MBA graduate, called working for this project, "the most satisfying experience".

Shenas’s father in their house. He is always there to help her.
She is a mother of three children - one married, one going to school, and the other under school age. Together with children she was asylum seeker in Germany for a year, before she returned home to North Macedonia.
With the money from the Germany that she saved, Shenas made a small house. It’s not finished yet, but she is thankful that she is not on the street with her three children. Shenas support the family with cleaning work.
“’When there is work there is also bread, when there is no work we’ll go to sleep hungry’’.
Since the Western Balkans were declared “safe countries of origin”, the region has seen a significant number of returnees from the EU. Still, Albania, North Macedonia and Serbia were ranked among the top 20 countries with the highest number of nationals with unregulated residence status in the EU.
Roma men and women comprise a significant share of this irregular migration, ranging from 61.8% in North Macedonia to 82.6% in Serbia. Disproportional social and economic hardship is a main trigger of irregular migration and asylum application of Roma men and women.
Those hardships are still there when those migrants return to their countries of origin. The most common challenge is employment, followed by decent housing and access to education. Lack of formal education makes it difficult for many to find meaningful work and poses challenges for the paperwork, registrations and services needed for a stable life. For those returning with children, cultural and language barriers can pose difficulties for youth who have learned another way abroad.
These challenges are profound at the local level where discrimination and exclusion are most perceptible.
UNDP's Reintegration of returnees project is helping vulnerable individuals across the Western Balkans by working with partners to implement holistic solutions to the economic and social empowerment of returnees. The initiative is supported by the European Union.

I may have mentioned I work for a blind charity in Edinburgh. I have always meant to take these home to shoot and never actually got round to it. This week has given me the reason I needed. I hope I've done enough to show that these are "tactile" dominoes. They are for the blind. It is one of those "games" that a sighted person and blind person may play together - which is nice. We also have Braille playing cards which I may shoot later in the week.
This is my Textured Tuesday pic.

Jessica Hess's "It finds You" opened to huge throngs of fans and patrons who came out to see the artist's latest body of work displayed at White Walls Gallery. Featuring beautifully rendered large scale oil works, the show also highlighted her recent collaboration with sculptor Christa Assad. The show was simply spectacular, and we suggest everyone check it out. It shows the amazing work that can be produced when an artist locks oneself in their studio for a year, which was very true in Jessica's case.

David "Lebo" le Batard is a different kind of artist all together. His self-described "Postmodern Cartoon Expressionism" entertains the eyes in a visual storm of colorful imagery and symbolism.
I first heard of Lebo's work in the Summer of 2010 while he was doing a live painting session with the singer Michael Franti during the annual Power to the Peaceful celebration in Golden Gate Park. Lebo is well known for being able to create colorful landscapes, and facinating visual imagery often alongside well known musical acts. To date he has painted alongside icons such as the Beastie Boys, Béla Fleck, Burning Spear, Disco Biscuits, Les Claypool, Arturo Sandoval, Thievery Corporation and Wynton Marsalis.

Today, after a number of legal hearings for some of the twelve people who were arrested from Occupy Oakland's Oscar Grant Plaza because a symbolic tipi existed on the plaza, I returned to the plaza to see a wonderful sight. Like a Jack Pine which must be destroyed in a fire in order to spread its seeds, the destruction of the adult tipi had spawned sixty juvenile offspring, scattered about the lawn in front of City Hall (now dubbed "Quan Lake" in honor of the mayor who drowned it to keep the tents away).
I attempted to photograph each of them, but my battery died most of the way through and I had to duck into a nearby coffee shop to recharge it. By the time I left, I lamented the darkness, fearing I wouldn't be able to finish the full set. Much to my surprise, someone had lit a candle under each one, illuminating the darkness and bringing hope to the steadfast occupiers who remain in the plaza, just as Occupy itself has lit a fire inside many of us.
"As the licorice workers fight to make their stand
And behind them every honest working man
In unity there's each other and your friend becomes your brother
And in the tyrant's heart will be a lesson learned
Give them hope, give them strength, give them life
Like a candle burning in the black of night
We are with you in our hearts and in our minds
And we'll Occupy a nation through it's darkest times
I know that your hearts are made of a firmer kind
And a riot stick wont kill your peace of mind
You can fight with all the spirit that you possess,
Because your fight is a struggle that is best
As the licorice workers fight to make their stand
And behind them every honest working woman
Join hand with your sister and then you can help resist her
Watch the tyrant burn in the fire that she has built"

Stand Up For Diversity is a series of events taking place across Essex, which brings together those wanting to champion diversity in arts and heritage.
For this SU4D, the Gibberd Gallery in Harlow hosted an evening of three-minute mini-talks and soap-box shout-outs that put a spotlight on diversity. We had a great line up of guest speakers from Harlow and Essex, including writers, poets, artists, community advocates and a Paralympian, who shared their thoughts on why diversity matters and talk about their own work.
For this event Essex Cultural Diversity Project and Essex Book Festival teamed up with the Harlow Arts Trust in their 70th anniversary year, to bring people together and champion diversity on the theme of Our Community, Our Environment.

For Vaughan and Andrie's wedding we set up a photobooth so guest could essentially take their own pictures. Being a same sex wedding, we set the theme as YMCA, or anything outlandish. My wife bought props, starting with YMCA character hats, but we also added anything else that was bright and fun, including a couple of gay flags.
We set up a camera in our home studio. The reception for 90 odd guests was held in our garden. We provided a black ground to make the colours pop, set up two elinchrom lights, and set the camera on a 10 sec time delay with a remote button. Not all guest took advantage and the kids , including mine, kinda took over.
But we love the results

1). ROMA - La chiesa dei Santi Luca e Martina ai Fori - Se il restauro del tempio lo paga l'artista. Il Messaggero (11/03/2018).
La chiesa dei Santi Luca e Martina ai Fori ha una storia unica da raccontare. Intanto, non si chiamava così. Poi, è il frutto di un trasloco, voluto dal papa. Infine, deve l'esistenza a un rifacimento, pagato di tasca propria da un artista che voleva esservi sepolto, e infatti lo è. Era Pietro Berrettini (1596 - 1669), noto come da Cortona, dal nome della sua città: favorito dai Barberini e grande campione del barocco romano, nonché principe dell'Accademia di San Luca, l'antico sodalizio dei pittori fondato da Federico Zuccari nel 1593, ma i cui primi statuti risalgono al 1478. La chiesa di San Luca, in origine, era vicina a Santa Maria Maggiore; però, a Sisto V Peretti necessita spazio, per ampliare la piazza.
Così, nel 1588, destina ai pittori l'antica Santa Martina, creata nel VII secolo da Onorio I, poi decaduta e riconsacrata nel 1256 da Alessandro IV dei Signori di Jenne. Il luogo è dei più invidiabili: tra tre Fori (di Cesare, Augusto e quello Romano). Ma allora, era abbastanza malmesso.
IL RIFACIMENTO
Dal 1592 al 1618, si moltiplicano i progetti degli artisti di San Luca per risistemarlo: Ottavio Mascherino, Federico Zuccari, Giovanni Baglione. I costi sono però troppi, ed il sodalizio non può provvedervi, pur se vende delle antichità trovate nella zona allo scultore Giacomo Della Porta, un allievo di Michelangelo e del Vignola. Così, le prime opere si arrestano a un nuovo pavimento, sopraelevato per poterci seppellire sotto gli accademici. Ma nel 1634, ecco Pietro da Cortona. Inizia a sue spese, ed edifica la cripta a croce greca, in cui riposa per sempre.
Poi, lo aiuta il cardinale Francesco Barberini, un grande mecenate. Infine, scavando si trovano i resti dei martiri: la stessa Martina, con Concordio, Epifanio e Compagno. Tanta è la commozione, si racconta, che lo stesso Urbano VIII Barberini interviene, e garantisce i fondi.
UN CAPOLAVORO
Pietro da Cortona considerava la chiesa figlia diletta. Vi si dedica per tutta la vita; la dota di arredi preziosi; le lascia per testamento una rendita di 6.750 scudi. Lui crea numerosi e importanti opere: a Palazzo Barberini, l'enorme affresco con il Trionfo della Divina Provvidenza, 24 per 14 metri; erige la Villa del Pigneto per i Sacchetti (che ormai non c'è più); la facciata di Santa Maria della Pace e la basilica di Santa Maria in via Lata. Con i seimila scudi del cardinal Francesco, qui nasce l'altare maggiore. Pietro da Cortona non vede però la fine dei mirabili lavori da lui e dal Mascherino progettati: gli interni e la cupola, sotto la direzione di Ciro Ferri, sono decorati fino al 1679; ma già nel 1706 un fulmine danneggia quest'ultima, e servono sostanziali restauri. Accanto, era l'antica sede dell'Accademia: distrutta per realizzare i Fori imperiali, oggi è a Palazzo Carpegna.
GLI INTERNI
Colonne ioniche, stucchi bicolore anche nella cupola (lo ha scoperto Pio Baldi, durante un restauro), a croce greca, ma con quattro absidi, opere anche mirabili: ecco le cifre che rendono il luogo un capolavoro. All'altar maggiore, in copia San Luca dipinge la Madonna: una tela di due metri attribuita a Raffaello il cui originale è ora in Accademia, opera del caravaggesto Antiveduto Gramatica.
Nella cripta, due rilievi di Alessandro Algardi; interessante compendio di marmo e bronzo l'altare di santa Martina; abbondano le sculture, pure di Cosimo Fancelli, e elegantemente convessa è la facciata. Qui sono sepolti parecchi artisti: tra loro, Ottavio Mascherino, Girolamo Rainaldi, il Pomarancio. L'edificio viene isolato ai tempi dell'intervento voluto da Mussolini, e le pareti esterne, con motivi tratti dalla facciata, rifatte da Gustavo Giovannoni. Il tutto forma un esempio tra i più armoniosi del Barocco romano. Così come l'intervento, perfino finanziario, di Pietro da Cortona resta preclaro, al pari del gioco delle colonne e delle lesene nella facciata, o la tenue bicromia della cupola al suo interno. La lapide dell'artista ne riporta perfino il testamento. E la luce è la vera protagonista di questa architettura.

Slobozia Mare, Moldova
Many inhabitants of Slobozia Mare, a village located in southern Moldova, make a living breeding poultry and cultivating vegetables. The long distance from any water source has always been a major issue. Eight out of ten villagers have access to a tap system, but the water quality is worrisome. Rusty pipes make water undrinkable.
In Slobozia Mare, residents and migrants abroad gradually joined forces to form a Home Town Association, now an officially registered NGO. Over 200,000 people from 5 cities and 18 villages in Moldova have benefited from the Migration and Local Development project, implemented by UNDP in Moldova with funding from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. The project aims to improve local infrastructure and living conditions. It brings together residents and migrants of villages to prioritize the main issues facing their communities, and helps connect them to municipalities and international donors to help them solve the issues. Nearly US$800,000 has been invested so far. Out of this amount, approximately $118,000 represent crowdfunding efforts by Moldovan migrants living abroad. Another $214,000 were provided by local authorities and $460,000 by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.
For years now, microbiologist Wayne Lanier and I have hiked from Alviso’s Marina County Park north along the salt pond levees to visit a site we call the Weep (see baynature.org/article/out-at-the-weep/ ). The path parallels an active railroad track that dates back to the South Pacific Coast Railroad in the 1870s. This line stretches from Newark to Alviso and was the first rail line to cross Bay Area marshlands.
On this particular outing, I launched the kite from the levee between Salt Ponds A13 and A15 and then slowly walked back to the Alviso trailhead. Photographs taken along the route provide coverage of the Weep, the railroad grade with its flanking ditches, salt ponds, and New Chicago Marsh. The Alviso flat area, a curious carve out between the salt ponds and the railroad grade, was still full of runoff from our winter rains.
I am taking these documentary photographs under a Special Use Permit from the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge. Kite flying is prohibited over this part of the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge without a Special Use Permit. The area does have many trails open for hiking and is well worth a visit.
Greater Erie Alliance for Equality (GEAE) held their annual end-of-year celebration on Monday December 12, 2016 at the Ambassador Banquet and Conference Center, 7794 Peach St, Erie PA, to thank partners, sponsors, donors, and volunteers for their work this past year. GEAE president Will Koehler spoke of the organization’s accomplishments and events for 2016, including several awareness fundraisers, continuing education and trainings, a new office location, Intersection of Equality held at Penn State Behrend, and an improved website. In 2017, GEAE plans to continue their focus on raising the Municipal Equality Index for the Erie city and surrounding areas, and provide more services for LGBT seniors and youth.
