  • Gloria Mandawe (56) seaweed farmer, Tamiao, Bantayan Island, The Philippines.  Gloria starts work at 5 am to remove the algae from the seaweed by hand so that it will grow faster. Seaweed is fast growing and can be harvested in 1-2 months. The seaweed is then dried and sold to local buyers and a commercial processing plant in Cebu, where it is turned into powder; a high value product used by many industries including cosmetics and food. Before Typhoon Haiyan, Bantayan Island was the largest seaweed producer in Cebu province. The typhoon destroyed seaweed farms leaving over 2000 farmers without essential equipment and seedlings. Oxfam awarded cash grants to around 700 families to finance the purchase of seaweed seedlings and farming equipment including ropes, poles and floaters.

  • A London Underground employee wipes hard to remove the tagging left behind by permanent marker pens on London Transport property. A youth has committed the crime of defacement and criminal damage to London Underground property, a persistent problem that costs the transport company network up to £3 million a year to remove. Partitions and glass are being scribbled on with their unique identity signatures used by kids of this age to leave as a mark of their presence, like animals instinctively leave a scent on a street corner. If caught, juvenile delinquents like these may escape with only a caution because of their age but older ones are prosecuted, though some times after leaving many thousands of tags across their neighbourhood.

  • Seaweed farmers Zosima Yeliganio (37) and Marissa Gegante (30) cleaning the seaweed of algae by hand, Tamiao, Bantayan Island, The Philippines. Seaweed is fast growing and can be harvested in 1-2 months. The seaweed is then dried and sold to local buyers and a commercial processing plant in Cebu, where it is turned into powder; a high value product used by many industries including cosmetics and food. Before Typhoon Haiyan, Bantayan Island was the largest seaweed producer in Cebu province. The typhoon destroyed seaweed farms leaving over 2000 farmers without essential equipment and seedlings. Oxfam awarded cash grants to around 700 families to finance the purchase of seaweed seedlings and farming equipment including ropes, poles and floaters.

  • A detail of a defaced Queen Hatshepsut in temple of Amun at Karnak at the Temple of Amun at Karnak, Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt. Queen Hatshepsut reigned from 1473 to 1458 BC but her successor Tuthmosis III quashed an Asiatic uprising and records of Hatshepsut disappeared. Tuthmosis III was finally able to claim his rightful place as King of Egypt and all images of Hatshepsut were attacked; statues, reliefs and shrines all were defaced. While the queen was damaged, the Gods either side in this painting were left untouched. The Karnak Temple Complex is the largest religious building ever made, covering about 200 acres. It comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings built over 2,000 years and dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu.
