Worker ants are sterile, they look for food, look after the young, and defend the nest from unwanted visitors. Ants are clean and tidy insects. Some worker ants are given the job of taking the rubbish from the nest and putting it outside in a special rubbish dump! Each colony of ants has its own smell. In this way, intruders can be recognized immediately. The worker ants keep the eggs and larvae in different groups according to ages.
Explored #98 - July 20, 2009 - Thank you so much everyone :)
it appears to me that every uk government since at least 1979 has worked to undermine the british worker.
working together with a largely compliant media and legal profession, the government seem to have run our country in the interests of a small moneyed ''elite''.
this has resulted in a situation where, in a so called modern western democracy, 5 families are said to own more wealth than 12 million uk citizens combined, where the wealthiest 1% of the population own as much as the poorest 55%.
this situation is quite simply untenable!
I was struck by this statue of the garment worker - a picture of commitment, sincerity and concentration as I hurried across towards Times Square. I took a couple of shots and later googled it to see what it was. Public statues like this are a great way of commemorating unsung heroes of the past.
Garment Worker by Judith Weller (b.1937, Tel Aviv, Israel) is a realistic rendering of a garment worker, wearing a yarmulke and hunched over a hand-operated sewing machine. The figure is modeled after the artist’s father, who was a machine operator in New York’s garment industry. “When I was a little girl, I recall seeing him at work,” Well explained. “I utilized what I know of him as well as my memory in creating the sculpture.” The sculpture was created to commemorate the Jewish garment workers, the backbone of Jewish life in New York at the turn of the century Source: www.publicartfund.org/exhibitions/view/garment-worker/
Farm workers face safety, health, and environmental risks. Agriculture is among the most hazardous sectors for workers of all ages, due to the nature of work and frequent lack of job training for the high number of low-skilled, seasonal and migrant workers.
