These guys seem to be carrying bales of grain. Recently, Barry Kemp and his team excavated a lower class cemetery at Amarna. He found that the peasants of Amarna were worked hard and died unusually early.
To what can we attribute this? Perhaps to the burden of constructing a new city in only a few years, but then again, the Egyptians were no strangers to large projects.

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.
WSDOT employees from across the state participated in the ceremony. Far too many of our workers have had close calls, serious injuries and even deaths in our work zones. (It’s hard to find a crew that hasn’t had an injury or numerous close calls).

New Haven, CT -- On Thursday, August 26, 2021 at 10:30 am, union and community groups will host a press conference with Senator Blumenthal to demand a national economic recovery that centers our nation’s most vulnerable and essential workers, including a pathway to citizenship for those without status. The COVID-19 pandemic made visible how millions of workers — a majority of whom are women, immigrants, and workers of color — are essential parts of our economy, yet about five million lack citizenship rights and the ability to organize for better working conditions, and millions more lack living wages and safe workplaces.
President Biden’s economic recovery plan, Build Back Better, proposes a huge investment in building a new economy with good jobs for working families. On August 24, the House of Representatives approved the Senate’s $3.5 trillion budget blueprint, including a path to citizenship for undocumented essential workers, farm workers, and immigrants in limbo, including those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Citizenship for millions is an investment in the American economy and will boost wages, reduce deficits, and accelerate GDP growth.
To create good jobs for all working families, Congress must include in the final budget reconciliation package an investment in good jobs and a path to citizenship. Congress must also pass the PRO Act, strengthen the rights of workers to organize, and create whistleblower protections for undocumented immigrants who speak out about labor abuses.
"Congress has a historic opportunity to level the 'paying' field by investing in homecare jobs,” said State Representative Robyn Porter of New Haven. “The workers who care for our growing elderly population, who are mostly women, majority non-white, deserve equity in pay, benefits and worker protections. It's time to put our money where our mouths are, which means taking care of those who take such good care of our most vulnerable populations."
“I am forever grateful to have Temporary Protected Status, but much like COVID-19 has limited everyone for a year and a half, so my status has limited my ability to see family and plan for the future for a quarter century,” said Fausto Canelas, a Bridgeport office cleaner and 32BJ member originally from Honduras. “Millions of immigrants risked their lives throughout the pandemic so all Americans could live as normally as possible; we are asking Congress to honor our sacrifice by opening a path to citizenship so we can live normally, too.”
The press conference, which will take place on the steps of New Haven City Hall, will serve as an opportunity for policymakers to hear directly from members of their communities who would benefit from the Build Back Better Plan and would thus contribute to a stronger economic recovery.
National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) is the leading voice for dignity and fairness for millions of nannies, house cleaners, and care workers in the United States. NDWA has four affiliate organizations in Connecticut: ULA in New Haven; CT Workers Center in Bridgeport; Comunidades Sin Fronteras in Norwalk; and Naugatuck Valley Project in Waterbury. Together with 20 faith and labor organizations, they are the Connecticut Domestic Workers Justice Campaign.
32BJ SEIU is the largest building service workers union in the country, with more than 175,000 members in 11 states and Washington DC, including 4,500 members in Connecticut.
District 1199ne SEIU is the largest organization of healthcare workers in the Northeast, with more than 20,000 workers in hospitals, nursing homes, home care and other health settings.

All these photos started out as b&w film that I processed at home. I messed up the negatives and they are too dark. For fun I put them on the light table on my microscope and took cell phone photos through the microscope's eyepiece. Then I edited them using mostly Snapseed.

A woman worker picks tea leaves at tea plantation in early morning just when sun rises at North Sumatera, Indonesia. Leaves pickers are at the most bottom rank in the food chain of plantation, hence receive the lowest wages. Their wages are given based by the weight of leaves they pick. In case like this, women try their best to carry as much weight as they possibly could to earn the most money.

Heena é unha porteadora, portea escombro. No seu capazo pode cargar ata 20 kilos de escombro; escombro que transporta durante xornadas interminables sobre os músculos extenuados do seu lombo e do seu pescozo. Á noite, cando chega ao seu fogar, logo da maratoniana xornada movendo escombro, séntase agotada uns minutos co seu fillo e con él comparte sorrisos, ollares esperanzadores, agarimos,… logo terá que preparar a cea, fregar,…
Kathmandú, 2019-01-03.
In February 2011 we travelled to Goa (yet again) for a week. John had been working in Bangalore and Bethan and I met him in Goa.
I got up early a few times to meet Janine and her volunteers and take some nore photos of the children that they care for.
These are the children of Goa's migrant workers. Janine Gaiddon from France comes to Colva in South Goa for five months every year to help the children. She gives over a hundred a day breakfast, provides basic first aid and helps those who go to school remain by donating uniforms, stationery and giving them lunch. She is a truly amazing lady. She is funded by a small charity, Terre d'Espoir, which she and her late husband set up in their home town in Brittany.
Voici les enfants des ouvriers migrant du Goa. Janine Gaiddon de France vient à Colva, dans la région Sud du Goa pendant 5 mois tous les ans afin d'aider ces enfants. Elle fournit plus de 100 déjeuners par jour, donne des premiers soins de base et aide ceux qui fréquentent l'école à y rester, en faisant don d'uniformes, de fournitures et en leurs donnant un repas du midi. C'est une femme réellement extraordinaire. Elle est subventionnée par une petite organisation caritative, Terre d'Espoir, dont sont les fondateurs cette dernière même et son mari défunt, qui la mirent en place en Bretagne.
