Found a bunch of glass slides. Scanned them with my regular printer, but did not come out well. Will get a slide adapter in next few days to do better.

Dunaújváros, Hungary
Dunaújváros is one of the youngest cities of Hungary.
The Communist-Stalinist government of Hungary started an industrialization program. They wanted to built a new city based on the heavy industry. It had to be far from the Yugoslavian border because of the tense relations with Tito. (He was called by the Communist propaganda the ""the chained dog of imperialism".)
Leaders of the Communist Party choose Dunapentele. Dunapente was a small village founded in the middle ages on the site of a Roman military camp, Intercisa.
1000 housing units and a giant factory was built within a year.
The city had a population of 27000 in 1954.
The Communist Party renamed Dunapentele to Sztalinvaros, City of Stalin.
Cultural facilities, theaters, hospitals and schools were built.
The housing units were comfortable and provided an unusual high quality of life.
Wide, tree lined streets connected the houses with the factories and cultural centers. The houses were better built and the city was far better designed than other constructions of the Communism between the 70ies and 80ies.
Sztalinvaros was supposed to demonstrate the superiority of Communism.
The government changed the city's name to Dunaujvaros (New City on the Danube) in 1960.
The concept of the communist industrial city was widely controversial after the fall of the communism - but Dunaujvaros soon transformed into a model capitalist city.

War on Want joined UK and US fast food workers at McDonald’s in Whitehall, London, on Wednesday 13 January, as part of a global campaign for fast food workers’ rights. The demonstration was followed by a fast food forum at parliament, hosted by Fast Food Rights. UK and US fast food workers were joined by Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell MP, who founded the Fast Food Rights campaign alongside the Bakers and Allied Food Workers Union (BFAWU) in 2014, and other leading figures from the trade union and anti-austerity movement.
War on Want has long fought for the rights of workers. We stand proudly beside fast food workers in the UK, and the US Fight For $15 movement, in the global struggle for a living wage, better working conditions and union rights.

I walked into a medical office on the 6th floor and saw this worker caulking the window. I was particularly interested in his safety harness and how it was connected, and whether he would be secure if the scaffolding should fall. I couldn't look closely enough to make that determination without making a spectacle of myself in front of the other people in the waiting room, so I just snapped the photo with my pocket camera.
Worker honey bee are fated to a life of hard labor. Their wings are tattered from constant trips between flower nectar sources and the hive. Each worker honey bee (shown here) will make about 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in her 1-2 month adult lifespan. They travel up to 2 miles to a nectar source, and must visit over 2 million flowers to make only one pound of honey. Many of the foods we eat come from plants that rely on honey bees for pollination. Throughout the Northern Hemisphere honey bee populations have suffered from the mysterious colony collapse disorder (CCD), where bees disappear from their hives. Scientists now think a new generation of systemic pesticides increasingly in use is at least partly to blame for CCD.
The history of the forge can be traced back to 1640, and it was still working until around 1910. The industrial site was abandoned in 1929 although the workers’ cottages were occupied until the late 1960s.
Top Forge is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Grade I) and celebrates the history of iron-working in Britain and especially in South Yorkshire. The Forge is the only surviving water-powered heavy wrought iron forge with its water wheels and hammers (now restored) in situ. It is a site of national importance.
The Industrial Revolution is usually associated with steam power. Wortley Top Forge certainly made its contribution both in the technology of iron making and in supporting the early Railway Age, but only ever used the power of its three water wheels.
The Don valley was an ideal area for iron-making as it had access to ironstone from the Tankersley seam, coppiced timber for charcoal and, of course, water power. Iron has been worked in the valley since the 1300s. Top Forge was built before1640, deliberately in a loop of the river Don in order to shorten the course of the head goyt and to maximise the head of water available between the weir and the tail goyt.
The current layout of the building dates from the 1850s when the forge was turned over to the production of shafts and axles mainly for use on railway wagons. Some of the earliest metallurgical experiments in the world were conducted at the site by the engineer and metallurgist Thomas Andrews.
Railway axles of the highest quality were manufactured at the site in the nineteenth century and exported all over the world.
Axle production ceased at Top Forge by 1910 (the price of mild steel from Sheffield had undercut the cost of wrought iron).
The Top Forge workshops continued to service the works both upstream and downstream until 1929 when all activity ceased.
The older breast-shot water wheel and belly-helve hammer was probably installed in 1680s and would have been almost entirely of wood. As each generation updated this structure, we now have a cast iron wheel with a cast iron axle albeit with evidence of a previous wooden tree trunk shaft.
The larger breast-shot wheel and trip hammer was probably installed around 1840 when railway axle making was introduced. It has been calculated that the four-lobed cam running at 20 revolutions per minute would have a power output of about 8 HP and each hammer blow about half as effective as a 1 ton drop hammer.
The forge also houses a large collection of early industrial machinery
