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.

A 1907 photo of post office workers in front of the Smith Building on West Main Street in Cherokee. This building now houses The Brightside Lounge. In early years the Post Office was located in several different downtown buildings including the Smith, Corbett, Allison, and Brummer buildings until locating to its own building on the corner of North Second and Willow Streets in 1925.
Rural delivery of mail started in 1900 and city delivery soon followed. Some of the rural carriers, bundled up and ready to go, have been identified as Lee Woods, B. Pitts Woods, Frank Stiles, Charley Mase, and Warren Lathrop. John Hogan, postmaster, is behind the smallest of the clerks, who is Karl Kennedy. Other clerks are Homer Phipps and Charley Stevens. City carriers were Bill Reeder, Charles King, Phil Stiles with Ase Cobb in the rear. From old postcard belonging to Gladys Will of Aurelia.

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.

I got the most outrageously dirty look from this old dude in a suit as I walked by marina bay financial centre in shorts and slippers, on my way to give a photography class yesterday. Dude, you look like an idiot wearing a suit in this city, I realize you're only stopping here for a couple days on your VERRRRY important business, but fyi - nobody wears a suit here: you look like a tool. Oh, and perhaps you should try doing something that makes you a bit less grumpy and a bit more interesting for the rest of your working life. Just an idea.
