“Toujours plus affligeants ces consommateurs, lors du lancement des soldes, prêts à se marcher dessus dans l'hystérie, pour réaliser quelques bonnes affaires. Et certains d'entre eux osent critiquer le système capitaliste qui tolère leur pitoyable spectacle ! Monde de couillons qui ne méritent que d'être exploités jusqu'à l'os.”

Maiti Nepal was born out of a crusade to protect Nepali girls and women from crimes like domestic violence, trafficking for flesh trade, child prostitution, child labor and various forms of exploitation and torture. A group of socially committed professionals like teachers, journalists and social workers together formed Maiti Nepal in 1993 to fight against all the social evils inflicted upon our female populace. Most of all, its special focus has always been on preventing trafficking for forced prostitution, rescuing flesh trade victims and rehabilitating them. This social organisation also actively works to find justice for the victimized lot of girls and women by engaging in criminal investigation and waging legal battles against the criminals. It has highlighted the trafficking issue with its strong advocacy from the local to national and international levels.
Maiti has no literal translation but it denotes a girl's real family, where she was born into. The word has a sentimental value especially for a married Nepali woman who has no longer any right towards her parents or their property. She then becomes an outsider belonging solely to her husband and her family forever. The famous song, Maiti ghar timro haina paryi ghar jao--meaning "this is not your home, you belong to an outsider (husband)" says it all.
Maiti Nepal however is home to all women and girls—whether married or not—who are exploited, their rights grossly violated and neglected by family and society likewise. It was a crusade to find such victims a home for their protection from social evils that gave birth to this NGO in November 1993.
It was started by a handful of conscious professionals like teachers, journalists, and social workers committed towards combating the social crimes like domestic violence, girl trafficking, child prostitution, child labour and various forms of female exploitation.
Maiti's focus has always been on prevention of girl trafficking, a burning issue for Nepal. Rescuing girls forced into prostitution and helping to find economic alternatives have been our key struggle. Rehabilitation, although not literally possible especially with former prostitutes, is one major challenge we have accepted in our work. The practical steps would be to counsel them and provide non-formal education on health, laws, basic reading and writing. They are also trained to develop income-generation skills and provided Maiti's shelter until they are ready to stand on their feet. The sexually abused girls, abandoned children, potential victims of trafficking, destitute women, prisoner's children, returnees from Indian brothels, girls and children infected with HIV and Hepatitis B, intercepted girls are the major target groups or say, beneficiaries of our programs.

The pit Bindweide is a visitor's mine in Steinbach / Sieg in the administrative district Altenkirchen. The history of this pit decreases to 1837, at that time the claim of the pit field occurred. However, already about 1810 a deep tunnel was attached in the area. In 1852 the mining law were lent, and in 1864 the mining company began work.
Spavin and brown iron ore was extracted before all hematite, besides also. In 1869 the annual support amounted to 7.393 t of ore, in 1880 there were already 26.142 t of brown iron ore and hematite as well as 218 t of spavin iron stone.
Already in 1889 one reached a support of 99.491 tons of hematite and brown iron ore as well as 14.912 t of spavin iron stone. The extraction per month lay with maximum 10,000 tons. All together one promoted 5,123,810 t of iron stone. On the 30th of September, 1931 the company was concluded, but because of the rest stocks of approx. 11 million tons the pit was led as a reserve mine.
Hence, it was possible to alter the pit Bindweide in a visitor's mine. This happened from 1981, in 1986 the visitor's mine was opened. In June, 2006 300,000 visitor's borders was crossed.
Gullfoss (Golden Falls) is undoubtedly the most visited waterfall in Iceland, a highlight of the 'must do' Golden Circle day trip from Reykjavík.
The main source of the Hvítá (simply 'White') River, is Langjökull, Iceland´s second largest glacier – if you look closely, the white 'clouds' on the skyline are snow-covered peaks. The river is entirely unregulated at this point; in fact, it was abortive attempts to exploit Gullfoss for hydropower that eventually resulted in the waterfall being donated to the state for protection. Flow over the waterfall is therefore natural, averaging 140 m³/s in the summer and 80 m³/s in winter, though the peak recorded flood was an incredible 2,000 m³/s.
The drop, spanning the full 175 m width of the river, is 32 m in two stages which, unusually, are perpendicular to one another. The first cascades 11 m, roughly north to south, then the river plummets east to west over a cliff into Gullfossgjúfur, a gorge 20 m wide and 2.5 km long, with walls up to 70 m in height, probably formed by a glacial burst flood. This second drop is 'only' 21 m, but from here at the most popular viewpoint one can't see into Gullfossgjúfur, tempting imagination to extrapolate.
Even in May air temperatures were low, with spray settling on the surrounding area as frost.

Sociable weaver nests are always a source of prey as they harbour many other species that can be exploited.
UNBELIEVABLE! The other night I went out to take some long exposures of the Rowena Curves outside of The Dalles, Oregon. To capture the unpredictable Rowena Curves, means waiting for a car to drive down the Old Historic Scenic Highway along the Columbia River. While fiddling with my camera settings in compete darkness, I ended up missing 3 car driving opportunities. Finally after waiting over another hour, I saw a car, and I heard a motor sound with bright lights streaming through the sky. I hit the shutter remote and this is what my lens captured. Spontaneity at it's BEST!

Another image to celebrate the anniversary of my "TumbleWorld" project, a technique and view that exploits or revels in an accidental distortion of the iPhone's panoramic camera function.
There are 103 images in my "TumbleWorld" album. 103 images that I've posted to Flickr, with an awful lot more on file, waiting to be finished or tossed in the trash.
There's a lot of improvisation to the pano-sabotage technique, relying a lot on camera angles and movements of the hand. Even if one tries to repeat a shot, it's never quite the same. You can get close but exact replication is well nigh impossible.
________________________________________________
"TumbleWorld", my pet name or personal branding of the technique and aesthetic, started out with architecture as its subject. Large complicated objects seemed to work very well in pano-sabotage, so I went at it with full gusto. To commemorate this anniversary, which really resulted in my reaching what could be called my "Mature Style", I've gone back to architecture.

The title comes from an old John Wyndham short story of the same name. In it the protagonist begins to question if reality is just a construct of the mind. As he goes along, he becomes increasingly convinced that this is so. At the end he decides NOT to believe what he sees ...... with interesting results. Here I suggest the same kind of questioning, but not of reality itself, but our way of viewing it.
Living in the fastest growing city on the planet, with 60, 70 and 80+ storey condo towers filling in the landscape and devouring neighbourhoods like an architectural cancer and having deeply examined the work of 2-time Noble Prize nominee, Ervin Laszlo, who states clearly that the myth of unlimited, endless growth is a self-deluding dream that will reach its limits soon and collapse, I offer this image.

Ouvrage du siècle pour le Portugal, premier prix de génie civil à la Biennale hispano-américaine de l'architecture et du génie civil à Madrid en 2000, plus long pont d'Europe à sa construction, le pont Vasco de Gama est une réalisation remarquable inaugurée à l'occasion de l'exposition universelle de Lisbonne en 1998.
Franchissant en 17 km l'estuaire du Tage, le pont se compose de cinq ouvrages à l'architecture bien distincte. Tous sont cependant conçus pour résister à un séisme équivalent à celui qui ravagea Lisbonne en 1755 et à des vents cycloniques de 250 km/h.
HISTORIQUE
En 1991, le gouvernement portugais lance un appel d’offres international pour la conception, le financement, la construction et l'exploitation d’un pont franchissant le Tage en sa partie large car le pont suspendu du 25 avril ne suffit plus. Le groupement concessionnaire Lusoponte compose de Campenon Bernard SGE, (VINCI Construction), Kvaerner Group (ex-Trafalgar House) et six entreprises portugaises est désigné lauréat de l’appel d’offres en 1994.
Le contrat exige l’inauguration du pont lors de l’exposition universelle de Lisbonne en mars 1998, ce qui implique des délais extrêmement réduits. La construction est prise en charge par le groupement Novaponte pilote par Campenon Bernard SGE. Les travaux démarrent alors en janvier 1995, trois mois avant la signature de l’accord de concession. L’inauguration du pont a lieu à temps, trois ans plus tard. Le contrat de concession prendra fin au plus tard en 2027.
TECHNIQUE
Plusieurs éléments doivent titre pris en compte pour mettre en relief la complexité de réalisation de ce pont.
Il est constitue de 5 parties distinctes les unes des autres : le viaduc Nord, le viaduc de l’exposition, le pont à haubans, le viaduc central et le viaduc Sud, sans compter les échangeurs. En raison du délai, une répartition singulière des tâches a été mise en place. En effet, si l’équipe de management issue de Campenon Bernard SGE a pilote le projet, chaque entreprise a construit sa partie de l'ouvrage presque indépendamment des autres, ce qui a permis de limiter les conséquences de différences linguistiques et opérationnelles. La coordination par satellite a permis la cohérence du tout. Sans elle la courbure de la terre et la longueur du pont auraient fausse le projet d’un mètre.
Le risque sismique a également été pris en compte lors de la phase de conception. Le Portugal est une zone d’activité sismique importante comme l'a prouve le tremblement de terre de 1755, qui reste le plus important connu à ce jour . En conséquence, le pont Vasco de Gama peut résister à un tremblement de terre d’amplitude 4,5 fois supérieure à celui impose par les normes de résistance des constructions de Lisbonne.
Chaque partie du pont reflète ce défi. Le viaduc Nord est équipe d’un système d’amortisseurs à son extrémité nord pour absorber les déplacements longitudinaux en cas de séisme. Le tablier du pont à haubans n’est pas fixe à ses pylônes, mais peut se déplacer transversalement et longitudinalement. Ses piles très souples ont été conçues afin de pouvoir obtenir de longues périodes de vibration. Enfin, des coupleurs hydrauliques sur les piles du viaduc central permettent à ce dernier de bouger en service, mais le bloquent en cas de séisme.
DÉVELOPPEMENT RÉGIONAL
Le pont Vasco de Gama peut titre qualifie de fierté nationale du fait de ses prouesses techniques. Cependant, les promesses de développement urbain qui ont suscite sa construction ne peuvent titre ignorées. En reliant la Secunde Circulare à la nationale EN10 et à la future A12, ce pont désengorgé le trafic croissant dans Lisbonne, et facilite tout trajet vers l’Espagne et la province d’Algarve. D’autre part, en permettant à la rive sud du Tage d’titre mieux desservie, il lui assure des perspectives de développement importantes.
Ce pont est aussi remarquable pour son respect des normes environnementales. La majeure partie des mesures appliquées par Lusoponte afin de préserver l'environnement sont inédites en Europe. Des murs anti--bruit ont été construits, des protections contre les affouillements à la base des piles du canal installées, et des bassins de traitement des eaux pluviales pour la rive Sud ont été crées.
Sur cette même rive, des mesures spéciales ont été prises pour la récupération des eaux des marais salants du Samouco, qui constituent une réserve naturelle et un lieu de refuge, de reproduction et de nourriture pour des centaines d'espèces d'oiseaux, de poissons, de crustacés et de mollusques. Cette nouvelle réserve s’étend sur 400 hectares. Ainsi, au printemps 1995, les travaux se sont interrompus pendant 3 semaines pour le passage d’oiseaux migratoires.
« Ce nouveau pont routier au-dessus du Tage (...) est une opération extraordinaire sur plus d’un plan. Extraordinaire, il l’est grâce à sa longueur, sa complexité, le nombre de structures requises sur ses 17 km, les techniques employées, le délai court de construction, et la quantité de matériaux nécessaire. Avec 700 000 m3 de béton, c’est actuellement le site
de fondations le plus grand d’Europe. »
Michel Bernard, directeur de chantier

Wild Ireland is a unique wild animal sanctuary located on the Inishowen peninsula.
Located in an ancient Celtic rainforest, Wild Ireland offers sanctuary too many animals which have been exploited and abused in circuses, roadside zoos, illegal pet trade and laboratories.
Wild Ireland offers sanctuary too many animals which have been persecuted and hunted into extinction on this Island such as Brown Bears, Wolves, Lynx and Wild Boar.
Step back in time into an ancient woodland, inhabited by these extinct creatures, that have returned to their ancestral home.
Wild Ireland has recreated the natural habitats of these animals so they can now live, much as they would do, in the wild.
‘Wild Ireland’ is located on the Wild Atlantic Way.
Visitors to Wild Ireland are educated about the plight of animals in the wild and the abuse many of them suffer at the hands of man. Wild Ireland hopes to inspire a new generation of conservationists to ensure the preservation of our wildlife & forests into the future.

It is a completely preserved medieval mining town. The fate of Selmecbánya/Banská Štiavnica has been closely linked to the exploitation of its abundant resources of silver ore. In the High and Late Middle Ages, the town was the main producer of silver and gold in the Kingdom of Hungary. The town was called “terra banensium” (the land of miners) as early as in 1156. The original Hungarian population was joined by skilled German settlers who started arriving in the 13th century. Selmecbánya/Banská Štiavnica gained the status of a royal town in 1238, as one of the first towns in the Kingdom of Hungary. During the Ottoman Wars, the Turks made concerted efforts to conquer rich mining towns in Upper Hungary (Banská Štiavnica, Banská Bystrica, and Kremnica). This new threat led Banská Štiavnica to build powerful fortifications, including two castles, in the 16th century. As one of the most important centers of Protestant Reformation in the country, the town belonged to the Protestant "League of Seven Mining Towns". The town was also a foremost center of innovation in mining industry. In 1627, gun powder was used here for the first time in the world in a mine. In 1735, the first mining school in the Kingdom of Hungary was founded there by Samuel Mikovíny. In the years 1762-1770, the Hofkammer in Vienna, with support from Queen Maria Theresa, transformed the school into the famous Mining Academy, creating the first technical university in the world. In 1919, after the creation of Czechoslovakia, the Academy was moved to Sopron in Hungary.In 1782, Banská Štiavnica was the third biggest town in the Kingdom of Hungary (with 23,192 or incl. suburbs 40,000 inhabitants), after Pozsony (today Bratislava) and Debrecen. But the town’s development was too closely linked to the mining activity which had been progressively declining since the second half of the 19th century.

“There are three kinds of violence. The first, mother of all the others, is institutional violence, that which legalizes and perpetuates domination, oppression and exploitation, that which crushes and laminates millions of men in its silent and well-oiled wheels.
The second is revolutionary violence, which arises from the desire to abolish the first.
The third is repressive violence, the object of which is to stifle the second by making itself the auxiliary and the accomplice of the first violence, that which engenders all the others.
There is no worse hypocrisy to call violence only the second, while pretending to forget the first, which gives birth to it, and the third which kills it. »

EN In the north of Sweden there are several iron ore mines. Almost all of them are exploited by the state owned company LKAB.
To transport the iron ore towards the harbours of Narvik (in Norway) or Luleå (at the Gulf of Bothnia), LKAB has his own rail transport company called Malmtrafik (MTAB). MTAB transports the iron ore from the mines near Kiruna, Gällivare and Svappavaara.
MTAB uses for these heavy iron ore trains the IORE type locomotives. They are built by Adtranz (later Bombardier) which are actually two locomotives merged together two one. The IORE locomotives are currently the strongest locomotives in Europe.
In the "evening" light (~ 14.30) Malmtrafik 121 + 134 are ready for departure at Kiruna with an daily empty iron ore train from Kiruna towards the mine near Svappavaara (train 39987). At Svappavaara the train will be loaded with iron ore and then driven towards the harbour of Narvik or Luleå.
NL In het noorden van Zweden zijn diverse ijzerertsmijnen te vinden. Deze worden bijna allemaal geëxploiteerd door het staatsbedrijf LKAB.
Het staatsbedrijf heeft op zichzelf een vervoersmaatschappij met de naam Malmtrafik (MTAB). Malmtrafik heeft als doel de ijzererts te transporteren vanuit de mijnen bij Kiruna, Gällivare en Svappavaara, naar de havens van Narvik (in Noorwegen) en Luleå.
De tractie wordt geleverd met de IORE-locomotieven van Bombardier (eerder Adtranz). De locomotieven zijn eigenlijk 2 losse units (met eigen nummers en namen) aan elkaar geplakt. Samen vormen ze de krachtigste locomotieven die rondrijden in Europa momenteel.
In het "avondlicht" (~ 14:30) staan IORE 121 en 134 vertrekklaar met een lege ijzerertstrein richting de mijn van Svappavaara. Deze trein 39987 rijdt normaal gesproken elke middag.
Te Svappavaara wordt de trein beladen om vervolgens dan naar de haven van Narvik of Luleå te gaan. Rechts op de foto is de deels afgegraven berg Kiirunavaara zichtbaar.
Modern cults pose a significant danger due to their ability to manipulate and control individuals, leading to psychological, emotional, and even physical harm. These cults often employ sophisticated techniques of indoctrination, isolation, and mind control to exploit the vulnerabilities of their members. They employ charismatic leaders who manipulate their followers' beliefs, coerce them into severing ties with family and friends, and enforce strict obedience to their ideologies.
