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.
There is SO MUCH construction work going on in Beijing before the Olympics. I have trouble walking the street of my hostel. In the City centre the cranes are everywhere. In the Hutongs - narrow streets or alleys - the government is tearing down the old and ugly houses and building the same house over and over again so that the Westerners wont see anything ugly in August. Sometimes they just surround an ugly neighbourhood with a nice gray wall. I'll surely post more on this subject later.

Ms Le Thi Lan has been the head of the women’s union, for 31 years, in a village with many residents working in Saudi Arabia and Taiwan (China). In this position, she has introduced many local women to opportunities for going abroad for work. Her daughter and son are themselves migrant workers in Taiwan.
She said the men in the village have formed groups of builders bidding for projects in the community, to create jobs and share their experiences with each other of how to take care of their children and families, while their wives work abroad. ©ILO/Nguyen Viet Thanh

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.

Gov. Jay Inslee signs senate bill 5272 at this year's ceremony which allows for automated speed enforcement camera systems in established work zones. Gov. Inslee named our highway maintenance worker Adam Gonzales, a speaker at our ceremony, Washingtonian of the Day. He has been struck 3 times since joining our agency in 2016, suffering several injuries.
