uses laborers
instead of
logically better modes of
transporting objects
like WHEELBARROWS
and TRUCKS
that can cut the job to minutes
instead of hours.
of course this is to give jobs
to millions who earn a few dollars a day

Portrait of Cuban coal workers, adorned with filthy worn out clothes, photographed by Walker Evans (1903-1975) in 1933.
In a career that spanned half-a-century, photographer Walker Evans (1903-1975) produced some of the most iconic images of his time, contributing immensely to the visibility of American and Cuban culture in the 20th century and the documentary tradition in photography.
Evans shot this series, which is not as widely known as his other works, early in his career. He was sent to Cuba on assignment for the publisher of progressive crusader Carleton Beals then-forthcoming book, 'The Crime of Cuba' and was to document the conditions under the dictator Gerardo Machado's corruption and Cuba's exploitation by the US. The photographs he made are fascinating for both their subject matter and the evidence they provide of the his artistic development. This portrait of pre-Castro Cuba reminds us that Cuba has experienced social strife since early on, and that Cuban-U.S. relations have long been problematic.

The humble scrivener is a skilled laborer tasked with making copies of documents by hand. The less humble scrivener makes copies of the peculiar and sorcerous documents trafficked by wizards.
The work of capturing magical energy in writing is, of course, quite hazardous. Magical scriveners (top left) must wear heavy protective garments to mitigate the effects of prolonged exposure to untamed sorcerous energies. Particularly of note are the specialized blinders which prevent their mind from taking in the entirety of their work at any one time, an essential precaution against unwittingly activating a dire curse or untimely oracle.
A magical scrivening guild cannot be sanctioned without a designated warden. These stouthearted fellows are mundanes tasked with quelling accidents that may spill over into the community. The most prestigious halls maintain this position as a birthright among a family attached to the institution, their sons raised to be so profoundly illiterate that they would fail to comprehend even a crude pictogram, nevermind a blasphemous rune of arcane power. Top right can be seen shooing a rogue tome from a supply shelf.
The headmaster of this guild can be seen discussing a commission with a patron (bottom left). Notice his unnatural appearance caused by overexposure to magic. The headmaster is glad he is merely bald.
Finally, bottom left shows us the greatest danger in the guildhall- apprentices! Too often supplied as starry eyed children who believe they have a Chosen Destiny, by Zoz the Ancestral they can't even do the menial work right!

Ruhul Amin (15) was working in a vegetable field near Anandabazar dumping yard in Chittagong, where he was working as a labourer. His family came to Chittagong about five years ago from Nilphamari district of North Bengal in search of work. They had agricultural land in Nilphamari but the income from the crops grown on that land was not enough for their family.
Currently, the owner's vegetable field where he works is next to a garbage dump, making it very difficult for him to work, and even the water supplied to the vegetable field is highly polluted and completely black in color.
He was reminiscing about the vegetable fields of his village home that he had seen when he was a child and said that they used to cultivate there with clear water from the river, but the water here was totally polluted in comparison!

Valentin submarine pens:
The Valentin submarine factory is a protective shelter on the Weser River at the Bremen suburb of Rekum, built to construct German U-boats during World War II. The factory was under construction from 1943 to March 1945 using forced labour, but was damaged by air-raids (Tall Boys & Grand Slam-Bombs) and unfinished by the end of the war. The Valentin factory was the largest fortified U-boat facility in Germany, and was second only to those built at Brest in France.
As a manufacturing facility, it differed from conventional U-boat pens, which were designed to house and service operational U-boats.
*************************************************************************
U-Boot-Bunker Valentin:
Der U-Boot-Bunker Valentin, häufig auch U-Boot-Bunker Farge genannt, ist ein im Bremer Ortsteil Rekum an der Weser gelegenes Bauwerk, das während des Zweiten Weltkrieges von 1943 bis März 1945 unter Einsatz von Zwangsarbeitern errichtet wurde, wobei Tausende ums Leben kamen. In dem U-Boot-Bunker sollten U-Boote des Typs XXI in Sektionsbauweise gebaut werden. Es handelte sich um das größte Rüstungsprojekt der Kriegsmarine. Der Bunker wurde zu etwa 95 Prozent fertiggestellt; auf Grund des Kriegsverlaufes konnte der geplante Bau der Typ-XXI-Boote nicht mehr aufgenommen werden.
Der Bunker ist gemessen an der Grundfläche (35.375 m²) der größte freistehende Bunker in Deutschland und nach der U-Boot-Reparaturwerft Brest bei Brest in Frankreich der zweitgrößte in Europa. Verbaut wurden eine Million Tonnen Kies und Sand, 132.000 Tonnen Zement und 20.000 Tonnen Stahl.
Ein Teil des Bunkers wurde bis Ende 2010 von der Bundeswehr als Teildepot des Wilhelmshavener Marinematerialdepots 2 genutzt. Zwischen Mai 2011 und November 2015 wurde dieser Teil zu einer Gedenkstätte mit Besucherzentrum umgebaut. Dazu investierten der Bund und das Land Bremen jeweils 1,9 Millionen Euro. Am 8. November 2015 wurde die Gedenkstätte als Denkort Bunker Valentin eröffnet. Begehbar ist der Teil des Bunkers, der von der Bundesmarine als Depot genutzt wurde. Der zerstörte Teil des Bunkers ist seit Ende der Umbauarbeiten in einem Tunnel einsehbar. Der Rest der Ruine ist aus Sicherheitsgründen gesperrt.
SLATER MILL HISTORIC SITE
Pawtucket, RI
In 1793, the firm of Almy, Brown, and Slater hired local artisans and laborers to construct a wooden building suitable for manufacturing cotton thread by waterpower. Slater Mill became the first successful cotton-spinning factory in the United States. It was dedicated exclusively to the production of cotton thread until 1829, and then was continuously occupied until 1921 by various owners and renters. Through the years, Slater Mill supported many types of production and manufacture, including tools for the jewelry industry, coffin trimmings, cardboard manufacture, and bicycle sales.
In 1921, after the last private owner ceased operations, a group of local businessmen with ties to the textile industry organized the Old Slater Mill Association to purchase, restore and preserve the Slater Mill – recognized then, and now, as the “Birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution.” Restoration of the structure was completed in 1925. With the support of 62 founders – including industrial giants like Henry Ford, Walter Chrysler, and Harvey Firestone – Slater Mill became one of the first operating industrial museums in the United States.
Slater Mill museum soon housed an impressive array of industrial artifacts. By the early 1950s, the museum was opened on a regular basis. In 1966, Slater Mill was designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service. The Sylvanus Brown House was relocated to the site in 1962, and restored along with the Wilkinson Mill in the 1970s. Additional acreage was purchased, and the campus designated the Slater Mill Historic Site, and given National Historic Landmark District status.
Today, the Slater Mill campus includes three historic structures, a gift shop, exhibition gallery space, the Jencks Education Conference Center and rental hall, and the Hodgson Rotary Park, open to the community for passive recreation and special events. Slater Mill is open March through November for museum tours, and by appointment during the winter months.
