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.

Built by the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company to house steel workers, these units in Campbell, Ohio were among the first pre-fabricated concrete housing structures in the world.
After the closing of the local mill in 1977, vacancies spread as Campbell declined.
Today, the Iron Soup Historical Preservation Company, a local non-profit, is working to preserve and rehab many of these units.

I hesitated posting this photo as it was taken in low light and is largely cropped. However, it still clearly reveals the physical differences between a drone (my two previous posts) and a worker honey bee :)

Pripyat is a ghost town near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, part of Kiev Oblast (province) of northern Ukraine, near the border with Belarus. Pripyat was founded in 1970 to house workers for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979 but was abandoned in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster. It was the ninth nuclear city (Russian: ????????? atomograd) in the Soviet Union at the time and its population was around 50,000 before the accident. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.Along with its prime goal as being home to nuclear power plant's employees, Pripyat had been viewed as a major railroad and river cargo port in northern Ukraine. The urban nomenclature was quite typical for the time. There were traditional ideological names on the city map such as Lenin Avenue, International Friendship Street, Heroes of Stalingrad Street, etc.
There also were some street names that had local bearings, e.g. Embankment Street, Builders Avenue, and Enthusiasts Avenue. Lesya Ukrainka Street has cultural implications: it bears the name of one of the greatest poets of Ukraine. The standard Soviet theme was also included in the naming scheme: Igor Kurchatov Street was named after the "Father of the Soviet Atomic Bomb".
Pripyat had a defined city centre where the city hall (or city council), the largest shopping centres, major recreational and public catering facilities and the Polissya hotel were located.
The official evacuation note:
"For the attention of the residents of Pripyat! The City Council informs you that due to the accident at Chernobyl Power Station in the city of Pripyat the radioactive conditions in the vicinity are deteriorating. The Communist Party, its officials and the armed forces are taking necessary steps to combat this. Nevertheless, with the view to keep people as safe and healthy as possible, the children being top priority, we need to temporarily evacuate the citizens in the nearest towns of Kiev Oblast. For these reasons, starting from April 27, 1986 2 p.m. each apartment block will be able to have a bus at its disposal, supervised by the police and the city officials. It is highly advisable to take your documents, some vital personal belongings and a certain amount of food, just in case, with you. The senior executives of public and industrial facilities of the city has decided on the list of employees needed to stay in Pripyat to maintain these facilities in a good working order. All the houses will be guarded by the police during the evacuation period. Comrades, leaving your residences temporarily please make sure you have turned off the lights, electrical equipment and water off and shut the windows. Please keep calm and orderly in the process of this short-term evacuation."
Sharing a joke...my roof!! they said they hadn't seen one as bad as this for a long time, they really earned their money.
Hundreds dock workers strike over 10 days against Long Hours & Low Pay working in the Port Terminal. Last Sunday, those dockers and their supporters marched to Cheung Kong Center (the top boss of HK Port Terminal) in their bid to get the port operator to raise their pay.
My personal view point, I totally support them to ask for their need, but I don't agree to use some extreme method like strike to express there angry. The strike already start to affect the economy, wish they could come up a win-win solution with port operators.

Sex workers are taking part in the International Women’s Strike (IWS), with women in over 40 countries participating. Read the A declaration from English Collective of Prostitutes and Empower Foundation, endorsed by the Global Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP.ORG) issued which puts forth some of the reasons why sex workers are striking:
“On March 8, in the spirit of solidarity as part of the International Women’s Strike, sex workers will strike against poverty, criminalization and stigma, whether by refusing to go to work, charging double rates or by any other action possible.”
The Women’s March on Washington is calling for a ‘Day without A Woman’ on March 8 too, International Women’s Day. The contingent is part of the IWS march in Oakland.
Bring Your Red Umbrellas! :-)

It occurred me that I haven't really done any strangers inside. So I popped into Prahran Central and just inside the door spotted this guy. He was writing a sms and so I hesitated before approaching him. But noticing his glasses and hat bore a resemblance to Librarian I decided I had to ask him for his photo. This might also be the first time I've mentioned 100 strangers as part of my opening spiel, normally I keep it in reserve if people ask for an explanation.
When I asked what he was up to today he gave some kind of non-committal response. He then went on to tell me that he's out of work at the moment and going to start a job at a power company next week. I was pretty impressed and asked if he'd done that kind of work before. He said that he had. When I was done he asked me if this picture was going online, not sounded bothered by the possibility. I told him it was and gave him a card with the url and my email address on it.
This is the seventy seventh portrait of my attempt at the 100 strangers project.

This is what i drive for a living, making me a key worker during the COVID19 shutdown,
Usually i am on a contract for Bentley Cars, however, during this period i have been moved onto a contact with Nestle delivering anything produced by Nestle to Supermarket RDC.
My hobby is Railways and Photography, however during this period of uncertainty, i will only be getting a photo if it is on my way to or from work without having to deviate, or if i can do it by going out on my bike once a day as i am a keen cyclist.
Remember to Social Distance and most of all Stay Safe.If we all stick to the guidelines then the sooner we as a nation can beat this and return to the daily activities we all enjoy.
