By now you all know how important children and their welfare are to me. It may only be a small way, but I feel if I do these works and share other's knowledge and feelings maybe in a small way I can make a difference for the better.

The church had in the Middle Ages a special responsibility for the poor but also individuals were required to remember the poor. It was a good deed to help, and good deeds showed that repented their sins and wanted to improve. Poverty was not regarded as a disgrace, it was an accident that, like so much else depended on God. After death, had the rich more to answer for than the poor because the wealth provided more opportunities to do good and then did not take this opportunity to atone got this after death. The poor man did not have so many opportunities to help others and therefore less responsibility. With the 1500s Reformation changed the medieval mindset, and wealth began to be considered as a sign of God's grace. Poverty was seen then as a personal failure, but it was even a few centuries before it was seen as a social problem.
The oldest institutions for poor relief, except those that were adjacent to monasteries and places of pilgrimage, was the hospital, which was a combination of sickness and poor relief facility. They were funded during the Middle Ages by donations.
Under Regulation 1642 would each parish establish a poorhouse, but first in the 1700s began houses were set up in some extent.
In Södermanland is Nybble old poorhouse. It is an unremarkable plastered building with a turf roof, the building was constructed in 1742, after the then owner of the goods Julita, donated 6,000 dollars to poor relief.
The small cottage has undergone several periods of decline, but in 1940 took Nordiska Museet over ownership and restored the house to its previous appearance.
As part of poor relief story is the old cottage important and together with, the turn of the century built, old folks tell about the welfare of Society. The building represents the physical memory carriers that make this story clear today.

"National Birds Day 2024: Every year on January 5, the United States of America observes the day as National Bird Day to raise awareness about the role of birds in our ecosystem.
National Birds Day has been observed in the United States since 2002. This date was picked because it is also the day of the annual Christmas Bird Count.
National Birds Day 2024: Significance
Data point to various bird species, particularly the 850 species found in the United States, and their critical state. National Bird Day was established by the Avian Welfare Coalition to raise public awareness of the challenges and misery of birds, as well as the improvements that people can make to develop a healthier, more sustainable relationship with these wonderful creatures."

*Working Towards a Better World
There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they grow up in peace. - Kofi Annan
What does it take for our politicians to show their humanity and caring for our children? How can it be, that in the USA where we claim to be a civilized country who love and care for our children that we can give them guns to kill one another with, and also have no gun checks and laws for every citizen who uses guns? Where is our OUTRAGE, these killings have to STOP!!! No other country has as many deaths as ours, surely, we, like other countries, cannot be so gun crazy that we are not willing to protect our children from guns. It is complete insanity to be having these CONSTANT deaths. I implore CONGRESS and the SENATE to make this a TOP priority and settle down and resolve this problem once and for all. Give our most precious gift, our children a chance to live a full life, that is the least that they, and we deserve and expect.
STOP THE TEARS & STOP THE VIOLENCE, TEACH PEACE, LOVE & TOLERANCE!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
The first thing to say is that my village is finally addressing one of its chronic problems: drainage and sewage. What this civil engineering company will do over the next couple of months is to separate surface water from sewage (so far, both had been running through the same drainage pipes and this combination had led to repeated flooding, and some of these were quite unpleasant). The "Welfare Van" puzzled me, and I looked it up. The welfare in question is that of the workers employed here. The van offers a canteen, a toilet and in winter a place to warm up. Go on then and take our village into the 21st century! Leica M8, Voigtlaender CS 2.2/50.

Reportage street shot from a Disabled People Against Cuts protest outside of the Ministry of Defence building in Glasgow, Scotland, on 26th March 2025.
I think it's fair to say that the true measure of a society is on how it treats it's most vulnerable people.
Bearing in mind that any one of us can become disabled at any time through no fault of our own. The societal safety net that we all pay into during our lives is there for that very reason. To care for us if or when we are unable to care for ourselves.
We therefore owe it to ourselves to fight these welfare cuts, to put pressure on our MPs to vote against the changes. Don't just think about it, do it, let them know because one day it could be you that needs to depend upon them for survival.
Take care.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bongwonsa:
Bongwonsa (Bongwon Temple) is a South Korean Buddhist temple in Bongwon-dong, Seodaemun District, Seoul, South Korea.
It is located at the base of the mountain Ansan. It is the head temple of the Taego Order of Korean Buddhism.
More than 50 monks live at the temple and are engaged in education and social welfare work.
It was founded in 889 by Master Doseon at where Yonsei University is now located. The temple was moved to its present location in 1748.
Part of the temple was destroyed in 1950 during the Korean War. In 1966 a new hall was built, but this was later moved to another part of the city. In 1991, while a new Hall of 3000 Buddhas was being built, a fire destroyed the Main Buddha Hall, which was rebuilt in 1994.
In the garden of the Buddhist Temple one can find 16 white statues. These are the 16 Arhat - the Enlightened ones. In Theravada Buddhism and in Mahayana Buddhism, the Arhat (saint) has attained enlightenment and may choose to guide others or not.

"De pie en el canal oscuro,
cerca de las fábricas de gas.
Celebra que el fantasma se ha ido
cuando todo el amor duele.
Y el hombre de la medicina está aquí.
Puedes conseguirla de forma rápida en el Armageddon.
Todo el mundo va lentamente de camino hacia el cielo.
La llamada a la oración ha llegado por aquí por la mañana,
Lavamos nuestras caras para ir a trabajar.
No hay ningún peligro.
Todo mejora cuando la vida es recta.
Es más grande que tú y el Estado del Bienestar.
Y vamos a seguir cantando,
no es demasiado tarde para ti."
(The Good, The Bad and The Queen)
On the picket line.
I have read here on Flickr and other places that a dog should never be on a chain. The people who write such things are well meaning and concerned about the general welfare of dogs, however I suspect they have never owned a working husky.
This photo was taken just before Alder and Shusanas' first run of the season. They are somewhere they have never been before and they are about to run with a team of dogs they have never run with before.
This cable line they are on is in a staging area, if you could see behind them you would see the trailhead with the sled waiting. They are the first on the line and are looking intently with curiosity and anticipation in the direction of Kira and Scott as they bring other members of the team.
The picket line is for the safety and well-being of the sled dogs, soon enough they will be heading down the trail and doing what they love to do.
I am unable to run dogs because of my shoulder so am very grateful that my friends can run my dogs. Afterwards we received a very favorable report on Shush and Alder, which in some ways isn't surprising, but also it is reassuring to know that they can so easily and joyfully adapt to the new situation and personalities.

The French Baroque Welfare Hall at Tylorstown, said to be in a style which had been popular some 20 years earlier than the date it was built.
The former Miners' Welfare building at Methil, Fife, is now used as part of a Community Learning Centre although it appears that the snooker hall is still open. It was built in 1927.
There's a whole lot of irony on the poster that says, "Set your choice free in 2020!" Little did they know what would happen to our freedom in 2020 when this display was set up. But I won't go there. We all have had our ways of dealing with the situation.
This is one of the early enclosures for the big cats from the 19th century. It might well be the last remaining piece of the Victorian era zoo. And it is left there for a purpose. The building itself is beautiful, but for a big animal like a lion is no better than an old circus cage. The lions are today cared for in a way unimagined by the 19th century zoo keepers, and thank goodness for that.
So this enclosure is a display that reminds us all of how far we have come in animal welfare, but also how far we have to go. For the message (enlarge the photo and read it for yourself) is a clear one. Products like palm oil are often sourced from rainforest environments and as a consequence animals like the precious Orang-utan is losing its habitat.
It is imperative that we support campaigns like this one and demand our governments require accurate labels that tell us exactly where a produce came from. And of course we should NOT buy products from unsustainable sources. Time is short for many in the animal kingdom folks, unless we act.
Two models of Fife Council welfare buses based on the Mercedes Sprinter. The real vehicles have the 400mm longer rear overhang and super-high roof option so there is some modeller's licence here. Both vehicles are based on the CMNL diecast with new interiors and double-wheel rear axles. The open-door Sprinter was cobbled together from two models, one donating the doors, and the other having the holes cut into it. The interiors of both models are completely new and built from scratch except for the diecast instrument binnacles and driver seat. The logo on the side is based on the Forth Rail Bridge made into humans and was created from artwork supplied by the local authority. All other decals are homemade based on photographs.
