“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The plumage of the immature Bald Eagle is brown, speckled with white until the fifth year, when it reaches sexual maturity.
Sometimes, time is not on my side. And sometimes, time is on my side. It's ALL good, no matter what :-)

In Malawi, pregnancy and childbirth is a matter of life and death. One in 36 women die in childbirth compared to one in 4,600 in the UK.
Background
On 11 July 2012 the UK Government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will host a groundbreaking summit to cut in half the current number of women and girls in the world’s poorest countries without access to contraception, but who wish to avoid pregnancy or space their children.
Every woman and girl deserves the opportunity to to determine her own future. Contraceptives give the world's poorest women the power to decide if and when to have another child.

Mehrere hundert Menschen nehmen an der diesjährigen "Black Lives Matter" Demonstration von Berlin Mitte nach Kreuzberg teil.
Die Demonstration startet mit einer Kundgebung in der Mohrenstraße, deren Umbenennung Aktivisten seit Jahren aufgrund des rassistischen Kontextes des Namens fordern. In Reden und auf Schildern wird der Alltagsrassismus, unter dem Schwarze Menschen in Deutschland leiden, thematisiert. In Sprechchören erklären sich die Teilnehmer angesichts der jpngsten Entscheidungen auf EU-Ebene auch mit Geflüchteten solidarisch, ebenso wird an den in einer Dessauer Polizeizelle unter ungeklärten Umständen zu Tode gekommenen Oury Jalloh gedacht.

My artspace is where ever I happen to be drawing,as I sketch with watercolour pencils in a Moleskine Watercolour sketchbook.
It is often at home at the diningroom table too.

Each year in Canada, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The day honours the children who never returned home and survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.
This federal statutory holiday was created through legislative amendments made by Parliament.
Both the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day take place on September 30.
Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”. The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.
On September 30, we encourage all Canadians to wear orange to honour the thousands of Survivors of residential schools.

IMPORTANT GAY STUFF PT 2: And yet the Faggot Mapplethorpe is censored still. No matter how far we've come in the struggle for acceptance and whatnot, the two Mapplethorpe retrospectives currently taking place at @thegetty and @lacma still have/wish to censor the X Portfolio, making sure his glorious photographs of fisting, fetishes, and faggotry are discreetly hidden in a separate room, laid flat in a case too high for a child to see... So that you confront us only if you wish to. Ah.
A couple of days ago there was a beached whale discovered at Whiterock beach, it was pretty crazy to see! By the time I got there the tide was already coming in, but it turned out to be beneficial to see this coast guard hovercraft come! Unfortunately the whale was already dead before anyone found it, this hovercraft was coming to transport it.

I built this in a matter of minutes, using the Gyrosphere and the Ankylosaurus I had built previously. The terrain design came from TheJackHammer on YouTube. Subscribe to him. He has great content. And regularly. (Unlike me) I will be posting instructions soon. Possibly on YouTube, but probably just pictures here.
The Roads Campaign Council, an umbrella group that comprised a wide range of parties interested in road transport, was backed by the British Road Federation and seems to have been active in the post-war years as road transport began to grow and investment in roads was seen as being tardy. The 1950s saw the serious development of schemes for major routes such as motorways and ambitious plans for new roads as part of urban redevelopments and these would, of course, be brought to fruition in the 1960s onwards.
The Campaign seem to have issued a series of publciity or propaganda booklets and this is called "Roads Matter - Scotland" and this makes you wonder if other regional booklets in the same format were issued? I have similar booklets issued by them for specific groups of English towns. The twenty page booklet has text and a series of images showing congestion in urban areas, such as Glasgow, Stirling and Dunfermline as well as 'dangerous roads' such as the A74 Anglo-Scottish trunk road and the A77, the route from Glasgow into Ayrshire.
The photos are of good quality and show street and roadscapes now lost along with many contemporary vehicles and period features that prove to make for fascinating research! I've scanned and posted a selection. The book credits a designer - John Denison-Hunt FSIA - and although not dated appears to be 1957.
Another Austin makes its way along the A9 here close to Ballinluig showing the 'county lane' nature of much of the old road through the Highlands at the time. The text discusses many of the old main roads around Glasgow and into Lanarkshire and Ayrshire.
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters ...
