C’est ce que comprend un cafetier de Nantua, propriétaire du Café du Paradis, Joachim Moinat qui rafraîchit ainsi les boissons de ces clients. En 1864, celui-ci décide de consacrer son activité à l'exploitation de la glace. Il achète aux communes des Neyrolles et du Poizat, propriétaires du lac, le droit d'être le seul exploitant de celui-ci. Pour conserver la glace, il fait édifier en 1875 un bâtiment en bois avec des murs isolants. Son activité se développe rapidement jusqu'à employer 300 ouvriers en deux équipes de jour et de nuit. L'ouverture de la ligne des Carpates en 1882 et le raccordement du site au réseau de voie ferrée de la compagnie Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée (ou PLM) ouvre encore de nouveaux débouchés à l'entreprise qui peut expédier la glace vers Lyon, Paris, Toulon, Marseille, Genève et Alger.
Obviously many 'western' images of African people are directly connected to exploitation and slavery. But it is often forgotten that there's also an idealist ideology that sees non-Europeans as good and free and noble, indeed as exemplary. This photo is part of the latter tradition. The insets provide some background.
In 1610 one Barthelomeus Moor (1573-1636) bought a piece of land on what is now the Rokin in Amsterdam and built a house there; the pictured decorative statement was probably added later in the style of Louis XIV. He'd been born in Antwerp and was one of many merchants, often Calvinist, who fled the southern Low Countries in the wake of their fall to the Catholic Habsburgs and the onset of religious persecution. They found religious freedom and independence from monarchy in the Dutch Republic. Around 1600 Antwerp's population had diminshed from about 100,000 to a mere 42,000, and something like 30% of the population of Amsterdam was made up of Flemish Dutchmen. Many of these immigrants were merchant families soon to become wealthy in the prospering northern Low Countries.
No doubt, the choice of Moor or his family for this sculpture was motivated by the meaning of his family name. But added to that are the connotations of freedom, independence and desire for trade imputed to non-Europeans exemplified by that self-conscious, proud 'Moor'. He could well be a Carib or else maybe a Guinean. The inset top right is after a drawing by John Gabriël Stedman (1744-1797) of a Carib family. The one on the left is in the first book on African Guinea (more or less present-day Ghana) by Pieter de Maarees around 1602. It depicts Dutch (?) and African merchants and traders. Note the similarity in head dresses of the 'Guineans', the Carib and our 'Moor'.
This was the male of a pair that was found in early fall in Cave Creek Canyon, Cochise County, Arizona. A rare visitor from the south. This bird along with another were present exploiting fruiting hackberry trees not far from the Southwest Research Station. I had seen one briefly and in poor conditions in the 1980s, so this bird was like seeing a US Lifer. It put on quite a show actively calling and plucking fruits. Trans USA 2020 trip.
Excerpt from www.gfwadvertiser.ca:
One of the oldest faith communities in the Exploits Valley region is celebrating a special anniversary - St. Andrew's Anglican Church on Main Street in Bishop's Falls.
The congregation itself has a longer history, dating to the now-demolished Albert Hall where they used to meet, but the church building is almost as old. It is 90 years old, opening for worship on Dec. 11, 1921.
When the original church was founded in Bishop's Falls, the Anglican congregation had a population of approximately 70. It was a case of worshippers meeting in a public space first, then the motivation of fundraising and finding a spot to erect the structure.
According to an old Anglican church publication, services were held once a month in Albert Hall, loaned by the G. Albert Reid Company. However, the article stated, "the people wanted a church and both men and women had a meeting to talk ‘church.' The result of the meeting was that the women formed a sewing circle with 20 members, and Mrs. Dorman Mills appointed as president.
"The ladies sewed, the men went around and collected, and quite a nice sum was realized," said the article.
The meetings were held in January 1921, and the church was started in August. On Dec. 11, 1921, the church was opened "for divine worship," with the exterior finished and interior with the exceptions of furniture and the finishing touches also finished.

An ancient quarry along the coast opposite the Cavo Grosso peninsula (in the background). The western coasts of the Mani have many outcrops of high quality, medium-grain white marbles which are chemically similar to the better-known marble of Paros. This site was probably being exploited at some time between the Archaic and Classical periods, though no dateable material is extant here.

Les salins d’Aigues-Mortes. Camargue.
L’exploitation du sel est une activité qui remonte à l’antiquité. La première activité des salins est attribuée à un ingénieur romain,Peccius. Autrefois récolté manuellement par les paludiers ( sauniers), le sel est recueilli de manière mécanique par des tracteurs à chenille munis de pelle à l’avant. Le sel ainsi récolté est entreposé sous forme de monticule de 10 à 15 m, les camelles.
Kavala (Greek: Καβάλα) is a city in northern Greece, the principal seaport of eastern Macedonia and the capital of Kavala regional unit. It is situated on the Bay of Kavala, across from the island of Thasos. Kavala is located on the Egnatia motorway and is a one and a half-hour drive to Thessaloniki (160 kilometres (99 miles) west) and a forty-minute drive to Drama (37 km (23 miles) north) and Xanthi (56 km (35 miles) east). Its nickname is The cyan city (Η γαλάζια πόλη).
History
Antiquity
The city was founded at about the end of the 7th century BC by settlers from Thassos, who called it Neapolis (Νεάπολις; "new city" in Greek). It was one of the colonies that the Thassians founded along the coastline in order to take advantage of the rich gold and silver mines of the territory, especially those located in the nearby Pangaion mountain (which were eventually exploited by Phillip the Second of Macedonia).
The worship of "Parthenos", a female deity of Greek–Ionian origin, is archaeologically attested in the archaic period. At the end of the 6th century BC Neapolis claimed its independence from Thassos and cut its own silver coins with the head of Gorgo (γοργὀνειο) on the one side. At the beginning of the 5th century BC a large Ionic temple made from thassian marble replaced the archaic one. Parts of it can now be seen in the archaeological museum of Kavala.
In 411 BC, during the Peloponnesian War, Neapolis was besieged by the allied armies of the Spartans and the Thassians but remained faithful to Athens. Two Athenian honorary decrees in 410 and 407 BC rewarded Neapolis for its loyalty.
Neapolis was a town of Macedonia, located 14 km (9 mi) from the harbor of Philippi. Neapolis was a member of the Athenian League; a pillar found in Athens mentions the contribution of Neapolis to the alliance.
Roman Era
The military Roman road Via Egnatia passed through the city helped commerce to flourish. It became a Roman civitas in 168 BC, and was a base for Brutus and Cassius in 42 BC, before their defeat in the Battle of Philippi. (Appian, B.C. iv. 106; Dion Cass. xlvii. 35.). The Apostle Paul landed at Kavala on his first voyage to Europe (Acts, xvi. 11).
Byzantine Era
In the 6th century, Byzantine emperor Justinian I fortified the city in an effort to protect it from barbaric raids. In later Byzantine times the city was called Christoupolis (Χριστούπολις, "city of Christ") and belonged to the theme of Macedonia. The first mention of the new name is recorded in a taktikon of the early 9th century. The city is also mentioned in the "Life of St. Gregory of Dekapolis". In the 8th and 9th century, Bulgarian attacks forced the Byzantines to reorganize the defense of the area, giving great care to Christoupolis with fortifications and a notable garrison. In 926 the Byzantine general (strategos) Basil Klaudon reconstructed the fallen walls of the city, ("τα πριν φθαρέντα και πεπτωκότα τείχη") according to an inscription that is now in the archaeological museum of Kavala. Due to the location of Christoupolis, the city experienced an economic resurgence, securing the contact between Constantinople and Thessaloniki. During the Norman raid of Macedonia in 1185, the city was captured and burned. In 1302, the Catalans failed to capture the city. In order to prevent them from coming back, the Byzantine emperor Andronikos III Palaiologos built a new long defensive wall ("το παρά την Χριστούπολιν τείχισμα"). In the 13th century the Byzantine Greek historian George Akropolites writes that the city and the area around the city is highly populated with Bulgarians and this makes it more difficult to keep the city as a part of Bizantium.[2] In 1357 it is mentioned that the Byzantine officers and brothers Alexios and John controlled the city and its territory. Recent excavations have revealed the ruins of an early Byzantine basilica under an old Ottoman mosque in the old part of the city (Panagia peninsula). This Christian temple was used until the late Byzantine era, as the also recently revealed small cemetery around it shows. The Ottoman Turks first captured the city in 1387 and completely destroyed it in 1391, as a Mount Athos chronicle testifies.
Ottoman Era
Kavala was part of the Ottoman Empire from 1387 to 1912. In the middle of the 16th century, Ibrahim Pasha, Grand Vizier of Suleiman the Magnificent, contributed to the prosperity and growth of Kavala by the construction of an aqueduct.[3] The Ottomans also extended the Byzantine fortress on the hill of Panagia. Both landmarks are among the most recognizable symbols of the city today.
Mehmet Ali, the founder of a dynasty that ruled Egypt, was born in Kavala in 1769. His house has been preserved as a museum.
Modern Kavala
Kavala was briefly occupied by the Bulgarians during the first Balkan War in 1912, but was finally captured by Greece in 1913 during a successful landing operation by the Greek Navy that was commanded by the famous admiral Pavlos Kountouriotis. During World War I Kavala suffered from the Bulgarian military occupation with many victims among its Greek population.[citation needed] After the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922, the city entered a new era of prosperity because of the labour offered by the thousands of refugees that moved to the area from Asia Minor. The development was both industrial and agricultural. Kavala became greatly involved in the processing and trading of tobacco. Many buildings related to the storage and processing of tobacco from that era are preserved in the city.
During World War II and after the fall of Athens, the Nazis awarded Kavala to their Bulgarian allies in 1941, causing the city to suffer once again, but finally was liberated in 1944.
In the late 1950s Kavala expanded towards the sea by reclaiming land from the area west of the port.
In 1967, King Constantine II left Athens for Kavala in an unsuccessful attempt to launch a counter-coup against the military junta.
Etymology
In antiquity the name of the city was Neapolis. During the Middle Ages it was Christoupolis. The etymology of the modern name of the city is disputed. There are some explanations, either from the Italian cavallo (=horse), or from the Hebrew Kabbalah due to the large Jewish population of the city.
Climate
Kavala has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification "Cfa") that borders on an semi-arid climate (Köppen climate classification "BSk" or "BSh" depending on the system used) with annual average precipitation of 460 mm (18.1 in).

Jim Beam - J.B. Turner Train was made in 1986 and formed part of Koons's second one-man exhibition, Luxury and Degradation, held at the International with Monument Gallery in New York. As the show's title implies, Koons's train is at once a celebration and a caveat, pointing to the exploitation that lay behind the successes of the speculators of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries alike, be it through land sales, booze or advertising, while commemorating the heroic spirit of these frontiersmen and trailblazers. Like Andy Warhol, Koons has taken an iconic element from the cultural landscape of the United States and used it as a vehicle for a sophisticated investigation of art and society. As he explained, "I wanted to suggest how the idea of luxury, through abstraction, is used to induce a psychological state of degradation, the public is constantly undergoing a re-education, being set up for the big kill"

The after effects of war. Children replace parents who are either incapacitated or dead due to the collateral damage caused by the pursuit of ridiculous agendas. Exploitive capitalism doesn’t help either.

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.

A basking Eastern Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis) rears up to view a perceived threat and awaits further stimuli prior to fleeing. Taken at dusk on the basalt plains above the Merri Creek corridor to the north of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Now, it is time for the horse-drawn carriages of Victoria to be banned for the inhumane practice of forcing horses to wade through city streets and endangering public safety.
This is animal exploitation, plain and simple. Every time we go out into the community to raise awareness and challenge this industry we meet concerned citizens who agree, horse-drawn carriages in Victoria need to end. For the horses and for all of us.

Érigée canoniquement en 1902, la municipalité doit son nom au père missionnaire Charles Albanel (1616-1690), un des premiers à explorer, vers 1670, les lointains territoires de la Baie James, au Nord-Ouest du Lac Saint-Jean.
On voit ici les habitations des tous premiers villageois.
Remarquez qu'il n'y a plus aucun arbre, l'occupation du territoire étant soumis à l'époque, à la "technique sauvage" d'exploitation forestière dite de la "coupe à blanc", initié, entre autre, par la Price Bros & Co.

Just recently returned to steam after overhaul, "Pendennis Castle" stands outside the shed at Didcot Railway Centre. This locomotive has a few claims to fame, including its exploits on the East Coast Main Line in trials pitted against "Flying Scotsman", taking part in the 1925 "British Empire Exhibition" at Wembley and being one of two locomotives to have circumnavigated the world.
Locomotive: Great Western Railway Castle Class 4-6-0 4079 "Pendennis Castle".
Location: The Great Western Society's Didcot Railway Centre, Oxfordshire, UK.

Urban wildlife street photography - in the absence of having much to shoot in my local area due to mobility restrictions I turned to my old favourite, the humble pigeon. Far from being 'flying rats' they are remarkable birds that have found ways to exploit our urbanisation to survive and thrive.
Thanks for the visit, comments and favourites.

Cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals.
This species maintains a special relationship with cattle, which extends to other large grazing mammals; wider human farming is believed to be a major cause of their suddenly expanded range.
