The Ijen volcano complex is a group of stratovolcanoes, in East Java, Indonesia. It is inside a larger caldera Ijen, which is about 20 kilometers wide. The Gunung Merapi stratovolcano is the highest point of that complex. The name of this volcano resembles that of a different volcano, Mount Merapi in central Java, also known as Gunung Merapi; there is also a third volcano named Marapi in Sumatra. The name "Merapi" means "fire" in the Indonesian language.
West of Gunung Merapi is the Ijen volcano, which has a one-kilometer-wide turquoise-colored acid crater lake. The lake is the site of a labor-intensive sulfur mining operation, in which sulfur-laden baskets are carried by hand from the crater floor. The work is low-paid and very onerous. Workers earn around $5.50-$8.30 (Rp 50,000 - Rp 75,000) per day and once out of the crater, still need to carry their loads of sulfur chunks about three kilometers to the nearby Pultuding valley to get paid.
Many other post-caldera cones and craters are located within the caldera or along its rim. The largest concentration of post-caldera cones forms an east/west-trending zone across the southern side of the caldera. The active crater at Kawah Ijen has an equivalent radius of 361 metres (1,184 ft), a surface of 0.41 square kilometres (0.16 sq mi). It is 200 metres (660 ft) deep and has a volume of 36 cubic hectometres (29,000 acre·ft).
In 2008, explorer George Kourounis took a small rubber boat out onto the acid lake to measure its acidity. The pH of the water in the crater was measured to be 0.5 due to sulfuric acid.

65,000 jobs in Northeast Florida are related to port activity
$19 billion annually in economic impact
In Jacksonville alone, nearly 23,000 people are employed in port-dependent positions, jobs directly relying on the port. An additional 43,000 positions are related to cargo activity in the Port of Jacksonville; these are jobs within the region's manufacturing, retail, wholesale and distribution industries.
A study conducted in 2009 concludes these positions provide an average annual salary of $43,980, well above the Jacksonville average of $27,215 as cited by the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Cargo activity in Jacksonville generates nearly $19 billion in total economic activity. The benefits are clear to those working in the maritime and related industries: $1.8 billion dollars in wages and salaries to those in jobs dependent on activity at the port and another $1.6 billion in personal income for those in positions related to the activity in the Port of Jacksonville throughout the region and state.
JAXPORT's marine facilities provide significant economic benefits to Northeast Florida through direct employment, sales and tax revenue, and through local firms that engage in international trade and travel.

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.

The "Quinta do Mocho" neighborhood has been considered for many years as a dangerous area. Situated a few kilometers from Lisbon (Portugal), in the LOURES municipality, the hood is very poor and composed of a huge majority of African immigrants, working on Loures industries around the hood.
Many of those workers have been relocated there when other near-by ghettos has been destroyed and rehabilitated.
The "O Bairro i o Mundo" festival has already produced something like 25 murals by portuguese artists in order to change the image of the area and is now starting to invite international artists ...
Mural situated in the heart of the neighborhood at the crossing of Rua agostinho and Rua Pero Escobar.
