Dedicated to one of my colleagues who has been simply amazing this year. She helped guide me through the treacherous maze that is the numeracy program and made it look easy!
Been visiting my old home town over the Easter break. It was lovely to see so much effort, money and resources poured into town. Everywhere I looked in the town center, buildings were being cleaned up and the place was looking more respectable than I've ever seen it. There seemed to be a sense of civic pride that I'd not detected before. Even on the outskirts, former slums are being torn down and replaced by new housing estates that really seem to change the whole feel of the place.
But unfortunately you don't have to go too far to find the places that are forgotten by the town planners. This picture was taken in a part of West Yorkshire that has suffered its fair share of problems as long as I can remember. From my recent glimpse at the place it seems that some things are slow to change....
Le 25 mai 2013, à un an des élections européennes, la Fondation Jean-Jaurès et la Fondation européenne d’études progressistes (FEPS) ont réuni autour de Martin Schulz et Pierre Moscovici, experts, responsables politiques et syndicalistes européens, pour faire émerger par le débat des propositions concrètes sur la dimension sociale et politique de l’Europe.
Progress: kitchen and ladder – the walls have been plastered and papered. Not long now! Just a shame the very nice flooring wasn't protected properly. Repairs cost a lot of time...
Küche und Malerleiter – die Wände sind gegipst und mit fester Unterlagstapete versehen. Bald ist es soweit!
I've lost about 14 pounds since October, which means I'm down to 171. Still not what I'd like to weigh, but getting better.
Don't normally keep shots like these that are out of focus. But I am glad I kept this one. Because the building with the big glass front the Security Annex was one of the old mercantile edition that was torn down for the new current Merc development. forgot what nikon film camera I was using on this.
All that is left is G and another R!
I have decided to go with no sashing. It will be 75 X 90", which is plenty big for me trying to quilt it myself.:)
Chennai wants to be an IT hub. This is part of the stretch that's called the "IT Park". It disturbs me that building glassed, monolithic structures is equated with progress. Note the garbage strewn around.
My first impression when I saw all the glassed IT buildings was fear. I felt like the Borg had landed and was starting to assimilate the ignorant masses.
That feeling is getting stronger as I realize that this is what India sees as its future. I'm hoping to find people who concur that this is sheer idiocy.
