Inaugurated on October 18, 2000, this monument entitled "Women are Persons!" is a tribute to Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney and Henrietta Muir Edwards. Known as the Famous Five, these women won the "Persons" Case, a 1929 court ruling which legally declared women as persons under the British North America Act and made them eligible for appointment to the Canadian Senate
The larger-than-life sculptures by Edmonton artist Barbara Paterson were donated to the Government of Canada by the Famous 5 Foundation. They show the five women celebrating their important legal victory in characteristic poses. An empty chair adds an interactive feature to the monument that invites passers-by to join the group. The newspaper with the headline "Women are Persons" that Nellie McClung is holding reflects some of the actual headlines of newspapers of the day.
Nellie L. McClung (1873-1951), novelist, journalist, suffragette and temperance worker. She was a member of the Alberta legislature, the only woman on the Dominion War Council, and the first woman on the CBC Board of Governors.
Irene Parlby (1868-1965), suffragette and politician. She was elected president of the women's branch of the United Farmers of Alberta in 1916 and became a member of the Alberta legislature in 1921. She was still a member of Parliament at the time of the Persons Case.
Emily G. Murphy (1868-1933), instigator of the Persons Case, writer, and first woman magistrate in the British Empire. She pioneered married women's rights, was National President of the Canadian Women's Press Club 1913-1920, vice-president of the National Council of Women and first president of the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada.
Henrietta Muir Edwards, (1849-1931), journalist, suffragist and organizer, fought for equal rights for wives, mothers' allowances and women's rights. She started the Working Girls' Association in Montréal in 1875, a forerunner of the YWCA. Later, while living in Alberta, she compiled two works on Alberta and federal laws affecting women and children.
Louise McKinney (1868-1931), politician and temperance campaigner. She was president of the Dominion Women's Christian Union and elected to the Alberta legislature in 1917 as representative of the non-partisan league.

Inauguré le 18 octobre 2000, ce monument intitulé «Les femmes sont des personnes!» rend hommage à Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney et Henrietta Muir Edwards. Ces cinq femmes, mieux connues sous le nom des « Cinq femmes célèbres », ont gagné l'affaire « personnes », un jugement de 1929 qui reconnaissait l'existence des femmes en tant que personnes selon l'Acte de l'Amérique du Nord britannique et les rendait admissibles à être nommées au Sénat du Canada
Les sculptures plus grandes que nature, oeuvre de l'artiste Barbara Paterson, d'Edmonton, ont été offertes au Gouvernement du Canada par la fondation Famous 5. Elles représentent les cinq femmes célébrant leur victoire juridique historique dans des poses caractéristiques. Une chaise vide fait partie de l'oeuvre et constitue un élément interactif qui invite les passants à se joindre au groupe. Le titre «Les femmes sont des personnes», sur le journal qu'arbore Nellie McClung, représente bien le type de manchettes qu'on pouvait lire à l'époque.
QUI SONT LES CINQ FEMMES CÉLÈBRES:
Nellie L. McClung (1873-1951), romancière, journaliste, suffragette et militante au sein du mouvement de tempérance. Députée à l'Assemblée législative de l'Alberta, elle fut la seule femme à siéger au Dominion War Council et la première femme à faire partie du Conseil des gouverneurs de la Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Irene Parlby (1868-1965), suffragette et femme politique. Elle fut élue en 1916 présidente de la section féminine de la United Farmers of Alberta et, en 1921, députée à l'Assemblée législative de l'Alberta. Elle siégeait encore au Parlement au moment de l'affaire « personnes ».
Emily G. Murphy (1868-1933), instigatrice de l'affaire « personnes », écrivaine et première femme à siéger comme juge municipale dans l'Empire britannique. Elle a revendiqué les droits des femmes mariées, a été présidente nationale du Canadian Women's Press Club de 1913 à 1920, vice-présidente du National Council of Women et première présidente de la Federated Women's Institutes of Canada.
Henrietta Muir Edwards, (1849-1931), journaliste, suffragette et organisatrice, lutta pour l'égalité des droits des femmes et des épouses, et pour les allocations familiales. En 1875, à Montréal, elle fonda la Working Girls' Association, qui deviendrait un jour la Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA). Plus tard, lorsqu'elle habitait l'Alberta, elle compila deux recueils de lois provinciales et fédérales concernant les femmes et les enfants.
Louise McKinney (1868-1931), femme politique et militante de la tempérance. Elle présida la Dominion Women's Christian Union et fut élue à l'Assemblée législative de l'Alberta en 1917 comme représentante de la ligue non partisane.

Cordova Lake in the City of Kawartha Lakes is about two hours northeast of Toronto. Karen the kids, the grandkids and I rented a cottage at Cordova Lake for the first week of August. This is the second year we've been there.

It’s unsure just who discovered gold at Cordova Mine, but the property eventually came into the hands of H. Strickland. In 1897 it was acquired by The Cordova Exploration Company, in 1897, and was worked between 1898 and 1903. In 1911, it was purchased by Cordova Gold Mines Ltd. The mine site included housing as well. Its head office was in Toronto. The mine shut again in 1917 when it was again reopened under the ownership of Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada (COMINCO). It remained open only until 1940, and has been closed since

Cordova Lake is just 15 minutes north of Highway 7 so is very easily accessible. Explore the surrounding area and visit the delightful riverside town of Campbellford to the south, take a drive to Bon Echo Provincial Park or visit the ‘rocks that speak’ in Petroglyphs Provincial Park. And if you haven’t visited Kingston or Ottawa, it’s an easy day trip to both.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawartha_Lakes,_Ontario
The City of Kawartha Lakes (2006 population 74,561) is a city in east-central Ontario, Canada. Although designated as a "city", it is a largely rural area. The municipality is named for the Kawartha lakes ("Kawartha," shortened from Gaa-waategamaag, means "shining waters" in the Ojibwe language).
The main population centres are:
* Omemee
* Lindsay
* Fenelon Falls
* Woodville
* Bobcaygeon
The municipality was created in 2000 by the Progressive Conservative government of Ontario through the amalgamation of the constituent municipalities of the former County of Victoria, and officially came into effect on January 1, 2001.
In a close vote (51% for, 49% against), the citizens of Kawartha Lakes voted to de-amalgamate in a November 2003 local plebiscite, but the provincial and municipal governments have not taken any steps since the vote to initiate de-amalgamation.
I've included links to Cordova Lake cottage rentals, not because I want to rent you cottages, but because the ads feature great pictures of the lake and of cottage exteriors and interiors.

At the moment I'm writing a piece for a book entitled "What Is Our Sex?" that is being put together by Vignette Press. It's been a bit of a hectic month for me, and I set myself a bit of a task with this one, including trying to find a third interviewee, which proved harder than I possibly thought.
I am still hoping that one of my leads will come through in the next couple of days, so I am about to send a very polite, pleading email to the editor to ask for an extension [which had been mentioned initially, given the potential difficulty of finding someone suitable to complete the picture] but I don't like asking for extensions and I don't like missing deadlines...
I also had not previously had to transcribe interviews, and this proved a much more long-winded task than I had expected too. What I wouldn't give for a dictaphone with a speed slide so that I could slow down the recording to match my typing speed [which actually isn't all that shabby...]
I was up until 5:30am last night, and I think it is quite possible I'll be doing a repeat performance tonight; but I guess I really need to get some of that sleep stuff at some point.
Hmmm... Sleep and sex: two things I just don't seem to be getting enough of lately... Haha, actually I think that's somewhat self-inflicted, really...
Ah well, Wednesday is ANZAC Day, so there will be more time then...

Photograph taken at an altitude of One hundred and forty six metres at 15:30pm on Thursday 8th November 2018, off Þingvallavegur 36 in the Þingvellir National Park, the only UNESCO world heritage site on the Icelandic mainland. It is situated East of Rekjavik in the municipality of Bláskógabyggð in southwestern Iceland and is known historically for the Alþing (Althing), the site of Iceland's parliament from the 10th to 18th centuries.
The park sits in a Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. To its south lies Þingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland.

This sculpture entitled 'Seated' is on show outside the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill from 19th April - 29th October 2023.
It is by Tschabalala Self and she says "Taking a seat is a universal act of leisure and calm. I wanted to create a monumental sculpture for the public that spoke to this simple joy. The woman is strong, beautiful and self-possesses. She represents all individuals, but women in particular, who understand the power and importance of simple gestures that assert their right to take up space." (2022).
Tschabalala Self was born in 1990 and is an American artist
Tschabalala Self's first public sculpture stands three metres high and is made from patinated bronze. This monumental work was an everyday object - a seat - as an entry point for questions of permission and performance within public space. Its subject - poised, immaculately dressed, glancing to her left - emboldens onlooks to sit with confidence and comfort.
Through an expansive practice bringing together painting, printmaking, sculpture and collage, Self's depictions, predominantly of women, traverse different artistic traditions. Bland and femme bodies are particularly prevalent in her work, heating different subjects, or characters, with individual and powerful identities, many of which are reimagined from chance encounters. Through mediations on race and gender, Self's work is concerned with what it means to flourish as a human and how the self is performed and perceived within contemporary life.

The artwork is part of a series entitled, Unreal Reality which is directed at re-examining the traditional, supporting role of a city backdrop to a defined subject in an urban portraiture. In this series, an original photograph is blended with the elements taken from the edges of the frame to create an expanded cityscape surrounding the subject. The outward growth of frame is accomplished by utilizing a Fibonacci based sequence of numbers to produce aesthetically pleasing patterns. These surreal cityscapes are meant to blur the line between the subject and its surrounding by competing for presence in the frame i.e. each playing a competing yet supporting role toward the total composition. The final images depict urban landscapes containing spaces with vast perspectives where buildings soar above the human scale and architectural elements unique to each city produce one of a kind pattern.

This is truly horrifiying. I had a really hard time doing this...
I saw the Cyborg skin on space ship designer Ichtyo Broome, but seeing it on someone else is not quite the same as putting it on yourself. I did have a sense that clothing Alpha in this skin would be a very difficult thing to do and it took me a really long time to even decide to go out and purchase the skin. But finally I did it yesterday. The bones are the bones of the whale avatar of Flea Bussy.
So, this is the end of the road for now: I have raked this as deep as I think can go at the moment without totally cracking up over it. One of my favorite writers is Mishima and what I think of as one of his best books is entitled "The Decay of the Angel". And that is what should probably be the title of these.

The CSX main line at Harper's Ferry Amtrak station is used as a personal photo studio for tourists just about every time I have been there.
On a warm Saturday afternoon, I just sat and watched group after group of oblivious entitled trespassers doing all sorts of stupid. In the far background, the eastbound signal is red, and the sight line for westbound traffic is pretty good so I didn't feel the need to get involved with this group of stupids.
What is really sad is that on the other side of the station several park rangers were busy passing out parking tickets and did not engage the obviously clueless people.
By the time a westbound CSX train showed up, a whole different group of morons had wandered onto the scene but stepped off of the tracks in enough time to remain alive.

Detail of a mural entitled "Main Course" by Ernesto Maranje aka @ernestomaranje together with community volunteers, seen on the wall of Lighthouse of Fort Lauderdale at 679 North Andrews Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
More than 150 volunteers, including community members who are blind or visually impaired, gathered at Lighthouse of Broward County to participate in Mockingbird Trail’s interactive mural painting curated by local artist, Ernesto Maranje. The multi-sensory and socially impactful event was funded by the Community Foundation of Broward’s Art of Community grant and was part of Broward College’s MLK Day of Service.
The multi-sensory mural, which is located at the Lighthouse of Broward on the Mockingbird Trail, brings a new experience to how one interacts with art. Through sight, touch, sound and smell, the visitor encounters and feels the Mockingbird’s habitat through a sensory experience designed by Cadence, a Landscape Architecture practice focused on connecting physical and social landscapes.

Dave: Eva, are you on the couch that you're not allowed on?
Eva: Nope.
Dave: Actually, you are. We have a strict no dogs on this new couch policy.
Eva: My answer to your question stands.
Dave: How is that?
Eva: I'm on the couch that you say I'm not allowed on. There is no such thing as a couch that I'm not allowed on.
Dave: I hate to break it to you, but you're not a lawyer.
Eva: You should have thought of that before you let me stream all of those episodes of Ally McBeal. Calista Flockheart is a national treasure.
Dave: I don't recall hooking you up with a streaming service to watch Ally McBeal.
Eva: You totally did. When you went kayaking the other day you left the remote on this couch with Disney Plus on.
Dave: On this couch?
Eva: Yup. Where did you expect me to watch Ally? On the floor with Bruno and Aggie? Ally would say that's a breach of our contract.
Dave: We don't have a contract.
Eva: It's an implied contract. With a remarkable amount of bias towards my specific unique needs.
Dave: Wow. Will you at least get off now?
Eva: As a show of good will, yes. But on an unrelated note - when are you going kayaking next?

I turned around this morning and found Eva on the forbidden couch at the lake. She had even moved the cushions so she had a better chin rest. Love this dog, possibly partly because she has a loose respect for the rules.
The Spandau Citadel (German: Zitadelle Spandau) is a fortress in Berlin, Germany, one of the best-preserved Renaissance military structures of Europe. Built from 1559–94 atop a medieval fort on an island near the meeting of the Havel and the Spree, it was designed to protect the town of Spandau, which is now part of Berlin. In recent years it has been used as a museum and has become a popular tourist spot. Furthermore, the inner courtyard of the Citadel has served as an open air concert venue in the summertime since 2005.
I was going to entitle this one "Smutty Nose" after a rather excellent brewery in New Hampshire that has a seal as its logo. But I opted for the title of the Morrissey track instead (reached no 19 in 1992, here it is on Youtube if you think I've made it up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFDzQD-LR80 ). This is a face-on male Southern Elephant Seal, dribbling, and with a snotty nose too. I love photographing seals face-on as they often appear to smile, and pull great facial expressions.
Southern Elephant Seal (Mirounga leonina) is the largest species of pinniped (seals and sea-lions) in the world. It is 40% heavier than Northern Elephant Seal and more than twice as heavy as a Walrus. The largest ever male Southern Elephant Seal was 6.85m long with an estimated weight of 5000kg. Research has shown that when at sea, they spend very little time at the surface breathing, but stay submerged typically for about 20 minutes. They can also dive deeper than any other pinniped, reaching water depths of 1km. I took the photograph on Gold Harbour beach in South Georgia. I'm not really expecting much attention as most people will think it is ugly. But I like it.

After an eventful day three, which saw the coaching stock derail in York Yard first thing this morning, a 61 late start from York and a shortcut via Stalybridge, the Branch Line Society's 'Summer Syphon' tour, with day three entitled 'The Primary Colours', passes Chelford just 36 late, having seen 70011 and 70019 join the party at Heaton Norris Junction for the run thrugh to Crewe. 37422 (37266) is tucked in behind the Freightliner pair, with 37423 bringing up the rear.
Things would go downhill rather rapidly on the tour's return from Crewe to York, with 37423 firstly experiencing power issues, necessitating an unscheduled trip to Manchester Piccadilly to allow 37422 to lead, before 422 sat down at Earles Sidings with low oil pressure, having to be rescued by 66066. Still, plenty of potential winners for haulage for those on board!
The tour is running in aid of Martin House Hospice, which provides family led care for children with life shortening conditions. It is a place where children, young people and their families can come to stay from time to time along their journey and find support, rest and practical help. You can find out more about the hospice, and donate if you're able to do so, at www.martinhouse.org.uk
Square Léopold-Achille is a square in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, in the Archives district.
Created in 1913, the square extends over 2,190 m2. It offers a children's playground, a sandbox, public toilets and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Square is lined with three streets: the rue de Sévigné (named after the Marquise, who lived there), the rue Payenne (from "Payen", name of the former owner of the land), the rue du Parc-Royal (so named because it led to the gardens of the former Hôtel des Tournelles, stay of the kings of France, which extended in part to the site of the current Place des Vosges).
The adjoining wall of the Carnavalet Museum protects a marble statue, by an unknown author, entitled Femme debout ou Pomone, which could come from the façade of the old Town Hall, destroyed at the time of the Commune. The date of 1841 is engraved on the base.
Along the wall of the Carnavalet Museum there is also a small alcove containing historical remains from the time of Francis I: a richly carved vault, with two royal salamanders facing each other, surmounted by ornate letters "F".

Our Memories of the Western District — Kennedy Town
Artist Name:
Photo winners from local community and MTR Corporation (Hong Kong)
Artwork Location:
Kennedy Town Station - Concourse
Form of Artwork:
Digital Printing on Glass
Artwork Completion Date:
December 2014
Artist's Concept:
The photographic competition entitled "Our Memories of the Western District" was the inaugural activity of the West Island Line Community Art Programme. Unique images of the Kennedy Town area were captured by local residents and the winning photographs from the champion, 1st runner-up, 2nd runner-up and merit award recipients were selected as the theme images for use in Kennedy Town Station. These photographic images were then pixelated using thousands of images collected from the community and then combined with monochrome graphics to create a panoramic collage, reflecting the uniqueness and culture of Western District with traditional buildings and daily life of the local community.
The sculpture entitled “Big Fella” is of a man and his dog taking in the beautiful sea views at the end of the day and shielding his eyes from the sun.

Anton de Kom is a Surinamese anti-colonial writer, activist, and resistance hero.
