Slaves at Chinese Factory That Produces for Microsoft (17 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       19 Apr 2010       31772

 

NLA made a report about the working environment in Chinese company KYE which manufactures products for Microsoft: gamepads, mice, keyboards. Report shows facts about KYE’s employees treated there as slaves. The staff is working for 90 hours per week, receiving 52 cents per hour (about 200 dollars a month), they are forbidden to talk to each other, to go to the bathroom during working hours (which makes a 15-hour shift) and to leave the factory. They live in dormitories, 14 people in a room, they are beaten and female workers are very often sexually harassed by security guards and many more.

The employees say that they don’t have a life, they have only work. They sleep, get up very early, go to work, come back and go to sleep. And this circle never stops until they decide to leave the factory or to flee.

 

Photos from the report NLA:

The volcano that has erupted in Iceland disrupts the whole world. Millions of passengers can’t get home because all Asia-Europe flights are stopped – governments are afraid of the fallout from the ash cloud drifting from the erupting Eyjafjallajökull volcano. Iceland volcanoes illustrate world’s interconnectedness. Collected here are photos of the most recent eruption.

"The Colors of the Kalahari" (19 pics)

Posted in ANIMALS       19 Apr 2010       13108

38 year old photographer Hannes Lochner, from Cape Town South Africa, has been observing wildlife in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park for the last 2 ½ years. His remarkable photographs have now been published in a new book titled "Colours of the Kalahari." As with most wildlife photographers, Hannes often had to go the extra mile to get the best photo. Having temperatures as high as 40 C during the day and below freezing at night, Hannes had to brave extreme conditions to get the right shot.

Airplanes also die, like people, and they rest in peace in cemeteries for decades. These photos of American airplanes were taken in Mojave Desert known as the biggest in the USA  airplane graveyard. All photos were taken at night, but the lighting effects make them look fantastic!
