The exploitation of children through child labour is a huge problem world wide with an estimated 160 million children affected.
This little lass can’t have been more than seven years old and yet she is seemingly struggling to push this heavy cart. In reality she is probably helping out her family as they set up a food stall in the market at Kota Kinabalu. I know that I helped out in mum and dad’s shop when I was young, but I was a good bit older and was rewarded for my time. This young lass probably knows know difference and it was midday so she wasn’t at school, so probably a parental choice. At least she looks well clothed and is wearing footwear.

Last camping trip of the season. The site is set up, the wood is cut and the fire is burning. Ready to settle in for a few cool ones.
1:24 scale Danbury Mint vehicles and Greenlight Teardrop trailer.
While in Hawaii, my (as well as Erics) hunter gatherer instincts came alive as I wanted to forage for every fruit possible. Pulling coconuts or banana's off the tree was a thrill; we even managed to forged a nice bottle of gin from the store using only a Visa card!
We also secured rum ;) Needless to say the Piña colada's were supreme.

Ploughing the field in preparation for the new crop - The woman in the yellow cap is sowing the new seeds.
I have to say that the farmer and his wife took turns at managing the wooden plough. - although she walked up the hill - and he did the downward run!
Mostly wheat is grown but I think not in this field.
I've thought of this shot for quite some time and finally got around to it although I really went to this location more for sunset views.
There are more car heading east toward the city than are going west toward the more rural areas.
Most of the image is one photo, but I combined another on the lower part to get a few more red trails.

This is the first really good mural that I have seen in Winnipeg this year. The artists may still be putting the finishing touches on it.

At one time Swansea docks were the largest employer in the town. The Swansea Dock Workers Hall and Institute opened in 1914 and consisted of a ball room, reading room, a theatre, a cinema (The Elysium), a shop, and a workingman's club. Entry to the cinema and workingman's club were via the High Street, (left and centre in the photograph). Later the Dock Workers Hall became the Labour Party's local headquarters, and the Dockworkers Hall became the Swansea and District Labour Hall and Institute.
The Finnish Labour Temple was constructed in 1910.
The eclectic design consists of two hipped-roof sections joined by a central, gabled-roofed section. The symmetrical facade features a three-storey central polygonal tower, square end bays, regularly arranged windows, and stairs leading up to the porch-covered main entrance. The imposing size of the building speaks to the importance of the area as a centre of Finnish immigration, as it contains offices, meeting rooms, museums and features an original restaurant and large auditorium. It served as a hall for two Finnish organizations representing the active role Finnish Canadians played in the labour movement in Canada. Official recognition refers to the building on its footprint.
HERITAGE VALUE
Finnish Labour Temple was designated a National Historic Site of Canada because:
- it is an architecturally eclectic building built in 1909-10 to serve as a hall for two Finnish organizations
a socialist Local and a temperance society – this imposing labour temple speaks to an era of significant
Finnish immigration to Canada, and reflects the active role of many Finns in Canada’s labour movement
in the first half of the 20th century as well as their commitment to collective organization to improve the
lives of workers and their families;
- as a Finnish haali (hall), it played an important social and community role for Finnish immigrants,
making available a range of social services and mutual aid, housing newspaper offices, and operating a
reading room, library and the Hoito, a cooperative restaurant established in 1918; and,
- its spacious auditorium hosted a vibrant mix of theatrical productions, concerts, dances, sporting events
and festivals, thus contributing to the expression and later the preservation
of Finnish cultural traditions throughout Canada.
The Finnish Labour Temple reflects a period of significant Finnish immigration to Canada during the mid 1870s following the promise of work and unsettled land. Thunder Bay, Ontario became an increasingly popular settlement of Finnish Canadians, leading to the establishment of Finnish culture within the area and the rise of collective organizations. Constructed in 1909-1910, Finnish Labour Temple housed two large Finnish organizations - the Socialist Local and the New Temperance Society, both associated with socialist thought in Canada. The Finnish Labour Temple represents the active role Finnish-Canadians played in the labour movement in Canada and the community’s commitment to political and collective organization. It also acts as a venue for the preservation and celebration of the Finnish community’s unique culture and traditions, reflecting the multiculturalism of the area. Additionally, the Finnish Labour Temple houses the Hoito Restaurant, an internationally acclaimed restaurant established in 1918 which continues to serve traditional Finnish meals. Finnish Labour Temple is an important symbol and landmark to the Finnish community as well as an anchor of Thunder Bay’s Bay-Algoma Street area.

This image is designed around a CD cover suggestion for a Rastafarian band here in Namibia. I was looking for something more eye catching than the usual fare. I was aiming at giving it an African flare with the elephant and desert. Many Rastafarian's still face resistance and objection. The elephant can also be seen as an obstacle that needs to be overcome and eventually led to better pastures....

A detail of one of two bronzes belonging to the Wallace Collection depicting episodes from the Labours of Hercules. This bronze features Hercules struggling with the river god Acheloüs, who - although you cannot see him here - has transformed himself into a bull. The piece dates from the 17th century and is believed to have been cast by Ferdinando Tacca in Italy.[1]
The Wallace Collection is housed at Hertford House in Manchester Square, London. The Collection is a museum that displays the art collections brought together by the first four Marquesses of Hertford and subsequently by Sir Richard Wallace, son of the fourth Marquess.[2]
The setting shown above is the Great Gallery, a top-lit extension of 1872-75 which was designed to exhibit the most important artworks of the Collection.
Our visit to the Collection on a wet day in late winter provided a very agreeable diversion, rounded off by an excellent afternoon tea in the courtyard restaurant.

It was Canada Day and the birthing room windows faced out towards a vast panorama of the city of St. Catharines and the Lake Ontario shoreline. For a while, attention was preoccupied with the various fireworks displays going on all over but, soon it was time to get down to business. As holiday celebrations (none of which are captured here) continued into the night surrounding, a pretty special event was happening in a room high above it all.

Given its natural rate of population growth and aging characteristics, India is adding about 13 million new workers every year to its labour pool. India's economy has been adding about 8 million new jobs every year predominantly in low paying, unorganised sector.[13] The remaining 5 million youth joining the ranks of poorly paid partial employment, casual labour pool for temporary infrastructure and real estate construction jobs, or in many cases, being unemployed.
Labour relations
About 7 per cent of the 400 million-strong workforce were employed in the formal sector (comprising government and corporates) in 2000 contributing a whopping 60 per cent of the nominal GDP of the nation. The Trade Unions Act of 1926 provided recognition and protection for a nascent Indian labour union movement. The number of unions grew considerably after independence, but most unions are small and usually active in only one firm.
In 1997, India had about 59,000 trade unions registered with the government of India. Of these only 9,900 unions filed income and expenditure reports and claimed to represent 7.4 million workers. The state of Kerala at 9,800 trade unions had the highest number of registered unions, but only few filed income and expenditure reports with the government of India. The state of Karnataka had the fastest growth in number of unions between 1950s to 1990s.
In 1995, India had 10 central federations of trade unions, namely (arranged by number of member unions in 1980): INTUC, CITU, BMS, AITUC, HMS, NLO, UTUC, UTUC-LS, NFITU and TUCC. Each federation had numerous local trade union affiliates, with the smallest TUCC with 65 and INTUC with 1604 affiliated unions. By 1989, BMS had become India's largest federation of unions with 3,117 affiliated unions, while INTUC remained the largest federation by combined number of members at 2.2 million. The largest federation of trade unions, INTUC, represents about 0.5% of India's labour force in organised sector and unorganised sector. In 2010, over 98% of Indian workers did not belong to any trade unions and were not covered by any collective bargaining agreements.
