KAZAKHSTAN / Kurchatov / 2008.Abandoned Soviet military base after the collapse of the USSR. The town was founded in 1947 and two years later the first nuclear tests took place at the nearby Semipalatinsk site. Around 700 bombs were tested duringthe 40 year period up to 1989. At least 100 of thesetests were carried out above ground. In some areasthe contamination is severe and whilst the formertesting site is officially closed people can enter with little difficulty.
Eric Lusito - Traces of the Soviet Empire
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/p8ug
These haunting photographs show the remnants of the once all-powerful Soviet empire.
They are the work of Eric Lusito, who spent six years travelling throughout the former Soviet world from East Germany to Mongolia, from Poland to Kazakhstan to seek out remains of the military installations that embodied the ambition and the might of the USSR.
Describing himself as working like an archaeologist, the French photographer says his project "Traces of the Soviet Empire" is a photographic record of the land and architecture - haunted by the symbols and history of a once powerful Empire.
The on-going project takes the form of three series: exteriors, interiors, and found photographs "images from another time, another space and another world".
What he found was colourful propaganda wall art, faded frescos of Lenin, discarded gas masks, and huge monuments, including those in the shapes of a soldier and a sword.

Ratmen of Mumbai, BMC Parel Ward, Mumbai, India - 19 Aug 2010

The Ratmen Of Mumbai
Pest Control Officer Dr Jadhav leans back in his chair in his small and rather dingy yet office in Parel, one of the 24 wards that comprises the Indian megalopolis of Mumbai.
"In my opinion rats are more intelligent than human being because no matter what control we adopt the rat will always adapt.
"Initially traps are good but then they quickly learn to avoid then. In the case of poison if the rat consumes a little of it and suffers he will be able to detect that substance however well you try and disguise it and avoid it.
"And as if that weren't enough, the rats are expert swimmers and climbers and are equipped with an acute sense of touch, smell and hearing, which more than makes up for their relatively poor eyesight".
Pitted against this consummate mammalian survivor are Mumbai's ratkillers.
There are two types - the day labourers as they are known and the night ratkillers or NRK's. Parel ward has four and five of each respectively.
The daytime labourers are charged with setting traps in sites that see large congregations of people and foodstuffs, with their efforts are concentrated in places such as schools, hospitals and markets.
They are on a government salary with benefits like holiday pay and a pension.
The night rat killers on the other hand do not enjoy such perks or job security, although more often than not they are eventually absorbed into the daytime ranks.
Like the day labourers NRKs are government employees; however, they are not salaried - the money they receive is based on the number of rats they successfully despatch.
As minimum, each must bag at least 30 rats per individual per night for which they are paid 300 INR (GBP 5); however, the most experienced NKRs can easily double that.

The Ratmen Of Mumbai
Pest Control Officer Dr Jadhav leans back in his chair in his small and rather dingy yet office in Parel, one of the 24 wards that comprises the Indian megalopolis of Mumbai.
"In my opinion rats are more intelligent than human being because no matter what control we adopt the rat will always adapt.
"Initially traps are good but then they quickly learn to avoid then. In the case of poison if the rat consumes a little of it and suffers he will be able to detect that substance however well you try and disguise it and avoid it.
"And as if that weren't enough, the rats are expert swimmers and climbers and are equipped with an acute sense of touch, smell and hearing, which more than makes up for their relatively poor eyesight".
Pitted against this consummate mammalian survivor are Mumbai's ratkillers.
There are two types - the day labourers as they are known and the night ratkillers or NRK's. Parel ward has four and five of each respectively.
The daytime labourers are charged with setting traps in sites that see large congregations of people and foodstuffs, with their efforts are concentrated in places such as schools, hospitals and markets.
They are on a government salary with benefits like holiday pay and a pension.
The night rat killers on the other hand do not enjoy such perks or job security, although more often than not they are eventually absorbed into the daytime ranks.

New bead-tagging monitoring system being tested out on Hedgehogs at Secret World Animal Rescue, Highbridge, Somerset, Britain - 30 Jan 2009

New bead-tagging monitoring system being tested out on Hedgehogs at Secret World Animal Rescue, Highbridge, Somerset, Britain - 30 Jan 2009
TINY HEDGEHOGS TOO SKINNY TO HIBERNATE
If the cold weather has you shivering then spare a thought for these orphaned baby hedgehogs.
More than a 100 are currently being cared for at the Secret World Animal Rescue centre in Somerset because they are simply not fat enough to hibernate.
Normally hedgehogs have two litters, but for some unexplained reason many mating couples in the local area have been producing up to three litters.
This has seen an influx of orphaned baby hedgehogs make their way to the centre after concerned members of the public rescued the underweight creatures.
Weighing in at anything less than 600 grams means the youngsters would be too weak to survive the winter months in the wild.
So, staff at Secret World are now feeding the tiny creatures up until they reach their goal weight.
After this they will be given a "soft release", which will see them released into a field or someone's garden where they will continue to be hand-fed.
The sanctuary is also testing out a new monitoring system that involves bead-tagging each of the hedgehogs.
Each set of beads is distinctive so that it can be cross-referenced to the wearer; this will help the animal's carer track its weight and know when it is safe to be released.
