with Prince Dance Group
Prince Dance Group, a dance troupe based in Berhampur, Orissa, India led by T. Krishna Mohan Reddy, a choreographer by profession. It has won a reality show India's Got Talent. The 20-member group is unique that the members are labourers from a construction site and most of them are from disadvantaged sections of different parts of Ganjam district. The Prince dance group will represent India at the global stage in the first World's Got Talent contest at the Royal Albert Hall, London, which will see them competing with the 25 winners from various Got Talent series of different countries.
In April 2011, Simon Cowell, the mastermind behind this contest, halted his plans for the series because the new series would hamper with his X Factor commitments in the UK and US.

Republic Day (India)
In India, Republic Day commemorates the date on which the Constitution of India came into force as the governing document of India on 26 January 1950. The 26th of January was chosen to honour the memory of the declaration of independence of 1930. While India's Independence Day (August 15) celebrates its freedom from British Rule, the Republic Day celebrates the coming into force of its constitution.

Unité d'Habitation, Nantes-Rezé, France - Le Corbusier 1950-1955
We are not dealing here with an experimental government building, but with a commission direct from the future occupants of the building, who form the society "The Family House" in Nantes. The members are labourers and foremen, the majority of whom are employed at the port. The cost is strictly controlled by the law of "Habitations à Bon Marché". Economy must be strictly observed. The Unité d'Habitation Nantes-Rezé benefits from the experience gained at Marseilles. It is similar in principle but differs in the mode of execution and has certain innovations, Four columns and not two now support the width of the raised concrete raft on which the block stands. There is perhaps a loss of plasticity and elegance; but this does not imply any degradation. The communal services half way up the building have unfortunately had to be done away with, as the economy of the budget, or of the law, intervened to modify the conception. The value of the Unité d'Habitation lies in its services; here they are independent at the foot of the building, in a town centre. The building contains a school at the top level, but there is no multi purpose area on the roof.
The building of the Unité Nantes-Rezé contains 294 units, but is smaller than the Unite Marseille, measures 105,70 meters long, 19.03 m wide and 51.80 m tall. It has 6 interior streets handing out access to the apartments. Due to the modifications made to reduce costs, projected the two types of apartment, one of two levels and another single. The grid used for the units in the Unité de Marseille was 4.19 m, but in Nantes the grid was modified to reach 3.66 m. Columns were used from the first level to the last, with the walls of the units in between. This means that the structural system is different from the Unité Marseille, where the units have its own structure, while in Nantes, the general structure includes the walls between the apartments. The precast walls of the balconies were attached to the structure to reduce costs. This was used in all elements as leading to higher work.

My great-grand-father was a johnny!
In the late 1800's at the Britannia Shipyard, there were about 1000 Chinese immigrants in the local area, working in the canneries. Opium smoking, a pastime brought with them from China, was common among the imported labourers and at the time seemed to be the activity of choice on their day off from the cannery.
There were actually several opium dens in the Steveston area. Strange as it may seem today, the activity was perfectly legal in the late 19th century and early into the 20th. During that time, Chinese merchants in Victoria and Vancouver legally processed and sold the drug.
The ban on the drug in 1908 did not stop the flow of drugs into the country as smuggling took over from legal manufacturing. In fact, there was an opium den underneath the "Rancharia", a large bunkhouse building that still existed at the site as late as 1991.
In the 1920’s, during prohibition, “rum running” came to Steveston, but the practice was not illegal in BC. The only violations of Canadian law were if the transporters failed to pay the required duty on bonded products.
The labourers receive 3 thakas (less than 3p) for every 30 kg basket of coal they unload. This involves carrying the coal on their heads, up a narrow ramp and then a steep coal hill. Each journey is about 100 metres. One man told me he can earn about 700 thaka a day - that's about 230 journeys or 230 x 30kg. This picture shows the supervisor driving tea whilst the workers unload the coal.

I took this misty moody image of the fabled Mourne Mountains in Co. Down, N.I. from the beach at Rush Co. Dublin in the Irish Repulic. Its approximately 40 miles away across Dundalk Bay. They truly do "sweep down to the sea!"
It was close to this spot that the songwriter Percy French wrote the beautiful classic song words , "The Mountains of Mourne " in 1896. It is set to the traditional tune of Carrigdhoun, { The Dark Rocks } and It is a song that tells of the purist love and innocence of a young immigrant farm labourer who leaves his home in his beloved Mournes to work in London being based on a letter he writes home to his sweetheart, Mary who is patiently waiting for him to return. It is possible that it is taken from actual reality as French was a renowned writer and performer, who may have been given a copy of such a letter. The language is definitely of working class and of that time by the expressions used in it. Me being me would like, to think it is factual..
It fills me up every time I hear it, even now.Its truly remarkable.It is the most recorded Irish song ever and has been sung by all the top singers in the world including playing by all the great orchestra and solo classical guitarists.It is on more albums than you could shake a stick at in a month of Sundays and Fridays too!.
For me personally, Don Mc Clean [ Starry Starry Night, American Pie and Castles in the Air } recorded the purest definitive uncluttered version.It cant be bettered in my opinion suffice to say "Shure twould even bring a tear to a Glass Eye" Of course not to get to serious about it unfortunately this song has been beaten to death by ever "drink taken" Irish immigrant throughout the World, whose missing home on a Saturday night in God knows where land! Im including myself in that but hardly beaten to death by me,Ah no, more of a massaged to death version really! The term Mary Mc Cree in the song is not the Girls name. Mo Chroi is the Irish for my heart which is truly beautiful and a lot more poetic than my love. It is very common in lots of Irish songs. Just a little snip for you regarding Irish immigrants. Many years ago I was in Moscow. Coming back home and approaching the airport I heard the strains of wild traditional music emminating from a pub I was passing. I could not believe it. I went in and the Irish were everywhere with a full live music session in full swing! They were all over there working on the Trans Siberian pipeline! Unbelievable! We do get about a bit as Im sure you have noticed!!!
I will include a link at the bottom of the page and even if you never listen to another song in your life, do listen to this haunting version and I defy you not to be moved by it. It was a major international hit for him as he is an amazing musician and his guitar playing and arrangement is superb
Ive seen these mountains many times but Ive never climbed them I intend to set that to rights this year as they are stunning..
The photo is not the best I know but Ive included it because of the song and the historical bit and you should all know me by this stage!!! lol!
Do have a great first week of the year and dont be a stranger now. { Dont be a stranger is a lovely term much used in Northern Ireland and thats why I have included it.}

Simply captioned 'Grandfather', this could be my great-great-great-grandfather John Palmer, born Greensted-juxta-Ongar, Essex in 1793/4, an agricultural labourer working in Stapleford Abbots and Lambourne.
Or it could be another great-great-great-grandfather George Gray, a labourer from Lambourne, Essex.
No, I am not talking about the walk of this worker. I am talking about the life of them, born > work hard-harder-hardest > die :(
How unlucky they are :( ...
I was passing through this mall in Thailand when I came across this scene where tattered cloth had been hung to prevent people from seeing what was occurring beyond. As I started to take pictures, I was immediately surrounded by police demanding that I stop. Of course I obliged, pretending to delete the photos I had taken which seemed to satisfy them. Regardless, it simply looked like they were setting up for some venue that would be used for a major performance that evening..
