Andrieu d'Andres, Monumental (Andrieu d'Andres, monumental)
In the wake of its humiliating defeat at the hands of Prussia in 1870, the French Third Republic sought to reinvigorate notions of heroism and citizenship. To this end, in 1884 the city council of Calais commissioned Rodin to create a monument to Eustache de Saint-Pierre. In 1347, while Calais was under siege by the English, Eustache and five other important citizens of the town had offered themselves as hostages, pleading for mercy for their long-suffering city.
In his first maquette of 1884, Rodin proposed a conventional monument, with his figures united as a group on a tall pedestal. By the following year, however, the six figures were placed on a low rectangular plinth, at the same level as the viewer. As Rodin later wrote: "I wanted to have my statues placed in front of the Calais city hall on the very paving of the square like a living rosary of suffering and sacrifice."
Rodin first made nude figure studies, which he then draped in wet canvas to model the sackcloth worn by the burghers when they surrendered. To create the expressive figures possible, he used the radical technique of combining studies of hands and feet from different figures. Creating the very antithesis of conventional heroic sculpture, Rodin here set out the terms of a modern, anti-monumental tradition that resonates to this day.

With a lot of post-processing I've sort of saved this shot of Re'ddy backing around and back to a safer part of his territory.... I've taken much better shots of him over the years. This was a surprise encounter....

He was such a good boy - he wore them all night long, and thrilled the kids (big and little) who came to the door. Don't worry - he'll forgive me. :-)

We went to the forest with my friends. It had been raining for two days so there was mud everywhere. I decided to take off my shoes and go barefoot. My feet and soles were all covered in mud. It was very pleasant and relaxing. What do you think about that? I felt very humiliated when everyone with shoes could look at my dirty feet.

‘Can we not sacrifice ourselves?’: Thoughts from the intifada “The people must defend themselves, but they must not sacrifice themselves. The people must not let themselves be destroyed or riddled with bullets, but they cannot be humiliated either.” – Salvador Allende This is what we always wish for here – Palestine – to defend ourselves without sacrificing ourselves. Now the Intifada is being documented with phone-cameras every second of every day. We can see everything! When people are being shot, are being arrested, are being paralyzed, are dying … and sometimes when they’re lucky enough to survive. And it’s then we say, “Can’t this always happen? Can’t they live and cheat death every time?” Why can’t they live every time … Read more: ift.tt/1NTxYOU - ift.tt/1Q8d6a4

The title? Well, in Norway public restrooms cost 10 Norwegian Kroner...I didn't have a 10NKr coin, but did have a mighty strong call of nature so I used a sort-of private (I didn't know it) WC and got yelled at by the owner, he let me out after giving me a good speech about using the public facilities!
It was almost 10 pm and I popped into this McDonald's at Mostecká 273/21 for a coffee and apple pie. I sat down and watched in disbelief this female employee (probably in her late teens) on her hands and knees using a straight pointed tool slowly scraping around the table's metal base. Her female manager dressed in a standard McDonald's corporate blue striped shirt appeared to be ordering her to work more diligently at cleaning around the base.
I have never seen this type of detailed cleaning at any McDonald's or other restaurant for that matter. What did she do to deserve this humiliating task?
Ten minutes later, she was still under that table scraping when I was leaving.
She gave me a whole new meaning to McDonald's current slogan "i'm lovin' it", not!
