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.

These people are contract laborers. They get picked up in a lorry every morning, without knowing where they are going, and get dropped at the work place. Mostly their work is at construction sites and sometimes at other places to do menial jobs. They just get into that lorry and the rest is unknown until they get dropped.These people migrated from their villages to the chennai in search of a better living. On an average They earn Rs.50/day

Laborers who work very hard in intense heat
have no Government benefits, no disability
no social security, just what money goes in their pockets.
If they get sick they are screwed!
While there are Westerners laying on chaise lounges slurping daiquiris and beer who qualify for disability because of minor aches and pains.
Others know how to work the system with the help of their phyciains who condone this abuse. There are people who go to a doctor or a PA and are on 5 medications in a matter of 5 minutes.
I could go on........i won't!
These guys won't make more that 2-3 USDollars a day.
Life isn't fair!

Laborers working in Chouwara leather tannery in the Fes El Bali Medina. Fez is famous for its leather goods
Taken @Fez El Bali, Morocco, North Africa.
The geth are a race of networked artificial intelligences that reside beyond the Perseus Veil. The geth were created by the quarians as laborers and tools of war. When the geth became sentient and began to question their masters, the quarians attempted to exterminate them. The geth won the resulting war, and reduced the quarians to a race of nomads.
The history of the geth's creation and evolution serves as a warning to the rest of the galaxy of the potential dangers of artificial intelligence and to the legally enforced, systematic repression of artificial intelligences throughout galactic society.
Physically, the humanoid geth resemble quarians—their hands, head shape and legs are similar—which is probably a holdover from their origins. A common design feature among geth is a single brightly glowing photoreceptor, causing some to refer to them as "flashlight heads".
Geth are primarily composed of two materials: a flexible but durable outer shell, and a kind of synthetic muscle tissue that gives Geth Hoppers their incredible agility. It is actually possible for this synthetic muscle to be grafted to organic tissue. Geth "bleed" a white conductive fluid when shot, but they don't have any internal organs or nervous system, so the geth do not feel hunger or pain. The geth are also seen using omni-tools, and have seemingly modified them to heal synthetic wounds; likewise, some geth facilities contain first-aid kits, implying that their synthetic "tissues" can be repaired using conventional medical technology.
Part of the geth's success is due to their neural network. Effectively, they "share" their processing power, distributing low-level processes like motor control and visual identification to free up bandwidth for higher reasoning and complex thought. Geth can't share sensory data—they aren't a hive mind like the rachni—but in large groups they have more to think with. An individual geth has only a basic intelligence on par with animal instincts, but in groups they can reason, analyze situations, and make tactical decisions as well as any of the organic races. An exception would appear to be Legion, a geth specifically designed to operate as an autonomous sentient unit outside the Perseus Veil. Legion possesses over 11 times as many geth programs as a standard geth platform and can function intellectually on its own.
As all geth are networked to each other, they may communicate their exact thoughts and ideas at the speed of light. They find organic methods of communication, such as body language and spoken word, to be largely inefficient; the geth are able to communicate their thoughts flawlessly without any fear of misinterpretation. Because of this they have no true form of government and no system of rank. When a matter must be decided upon, the geth communicate all viewpoints of a situation and a consensus is made, the decision being whatever benefits the geth as a whole the greatest.
___________________________________________________________________________
Legion - A unique geth platform designed to operate outside the Perseus Veil and interact with organics. While most standard platforms hold approximately 100 geth programs, Legion houses 1,183 programs, the better to facilitate independent decision-making while separated from the geth consensus for long periods of time.
Aghori Sadhu
They have no family, friends, relatives etc.
They are generally densely bearded and wearing a turban, kurta and dhoti.
Their face is always glittering with bhabhoot or raakh.
They claim that they are not even alive and most of them have already done their “ pind daan” (a Hindu Ritual performed after cremation of a person)
They're devotees of lord shiva.
They're famous for their sadhna( meditation) in shamshan ghat( cremation point).
They keep a human skull( kapaal) with them which is their cup and plate as well.
They are afraid of nothing as they think themselves not alive so nothing can harm them.
They spend most of their time in badrinath, kedarnath, ujjain, kashi, Varanasi, Kolkata, assam etc, kedarnath is their most preferred place though.
They are not even in touch with their parents, siblings, relatives, spouse etc.
They also practice post-mortem cannibalism, eating flesh from foraged human corpses, including those taken from cremation ghats.
If anyday you get to talk or spend time with an aghori saadhu , you will see a true different perspective of life which might be beyond your imagination.

Taken during a Legend Trips event this past weekend. An amazing historic and haunted location. Birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution.
The is of the Slater Mill Proper.
"SLATER MILL HISTORIC SITE
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 Millin 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."

The British brought in Chinese immigrants as indentured laborers (Coolie) to work in their colonies in the Caribbean, primarily Jamaica and other islands in general.
Very soon, the Chinese started to bring small Jujube plants from their homeland to their workplaces in the Caribbean. In no time, Jujube plants started to show up around the slums of the Chinese workers. Then it started to fruit.
The British, for the lack of a name, called the Jujubes 'Coolie Plum', plums grown by the Chinese Coolies.
When the British found Jujube trees in India, they called them Coolie Plum trees. The Bengali natives of India shortened the Coolie Plum to Coolie to Cool/Kul.
Kul, the Bengali name of the Jujube remains in circulation till this day.

The common or Chinese jujube, a species long-cultivated in the Mediterranean region and southern and eastern Asia for its edible fruits over 4000 years ago, was first described by Linnaeus as Rhamnus zizyphus L.
It is most commonly treated in current literature as Ziziphus jujuba but sometimes it is also called
Ziziphus sativa.

After maturing to red/deep red/maroon, the fruits wrinkle and take on the appearance of a Date, hence the alternate common name of Chinese Date for this fruit.
