To give equal time to the gents in costumes, here is an old acquaintance of mine, Slash, dressed up as a privateer (he looks classier than a regular pirate). He's a really good comics artist with an odd sense of humor; he used to draw all of the illustrations for a fanzine, "BLT: Black Leather Times - Lunch with an Edge." (which I used to read, LMFAO, and randomly contribute to)
Yes, the key words that best describe me are: Stealth and Weird. *smirks*
‘Equal Temperance’ is a schizophonic composition for twenty-nine pianos. The composition provides the audience with an insight into the imagined sonification of the instruments regarding the environment they have been placed within. The project explores the differing tunings and acoustic environments of the pianos whilst additionally providing a creative documentation of the London soundscape.
The pianos used in this composition were part of the ‘Play me, I’m yours’ live art piece installed in London by Luke Jerram in July 2009. The material for the composition was recorded at each piano site over a ten-day period in collaboration with pianist, Keir Vine. Every location features in the composition and no external material was used.
‘Equal Temperance’ was diffused live over 8 speakers with Keir Vine performing on piano in the Queen Elizabeth Hall foyer, Southbank. This performance was part of the ‘Trouble Tune Tonic’ festival on July 31st 2009.
For more information about the piece and details of each piano please see this link - equaltemperance.blogspot.com
Those hands belong to one of the controversial persons in Algeria. She was not accepted because of her music and lyrics. Cheikha Rimitti , however, didn’t have an easy life. Orphan from her childhood, she worked like a dancer with some fantasy of her native town Saîda. That folkloric background traced her life forever. Thus, she became a Raî singer. Her lyrics were not convenient for the majority of people because they talked about street life, love, and many Algerian taboo subjects.
For all these reasons and may be for more, Cheikha Rimitti was not accepted by her skin men. But, in all Algerian artistic history, there is no woman represented her culture and tradition then her. Henna in her hands, kohl in her eyes, always with a traditional west dress ( Oran), traditional Algerian tattoo ( wechame) and old traditional jewelleries were her identity card. Her Algerian identity card.
I must admit that I am not a fun of her lyrics too. However, I have a big admiration of her personality and the way she conveyed her life. How she was able to stand in front of all. She was brave , in my opinion, and strong as all Algerian women.
Sawassia ( alike) we are and we are going to be.
Peace.

Hazel Hunkins Hallinan (2nd from right), a veterans of the 1913 women’s suffrage march that was broken up by violence, leads a pro-Equal Rights Amendment march in Washington, D.C. August 27, 1977—the 57th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote.
From left to right: Rep. Margaret Heckler (R-Mass.); Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman (D.-N.Y.); Elizabeth Chittick, president of the National Women’s Party; Hallinan; and Midge Costanza, President Jimmy Carter’s assistant for public liaison.
March organizers urged women to wear white similar to the women who marched 64 years before.
The demonstration was intended to give a renewed spark to the movement to pass the Equal Rights Amendment.
The amendment passed Congress in 1972, but the drive was stalled as only 34 of 38 states necessary had passed it. Congress put a seven-year deadline on passage.
The march was led by Hallinan, a veteran fighter for women’s rights, who once chained herself to the White House fence when seeking passage of the 19th Amendment.
The drive to ratify the ERA failed within the time prescribed as only one more state legislature was to pass the Amendment, even after Congress extended the deadline to June 30, 1982.
Subsequently several states repealed their ratification, although it is not clear that a state can rescind a ratification vote.
In the 2010s, due, in part, to a revived feminist movement and the Me Too movement, interest in getting the ERA adopted was renewed.
In 2017, Nevada became the first state to ratify the ERA after the expiration of both deadlines, and Illinois followed in 2018.
On January 15, 2020, Virginia's General Assembly passed a ratification resolution for the ERA in a 59–41 vote in the House of Delegates and 28–12 vote in the Senate, and voted again for each other's resolutions on January 27, 27–12 in the Senate and 58–40 in the House, claiming to bring the number of ratifications to 38.
However, experts and advocates have acknowledged legal uncertainty about the consequences of Virginia's ratification, due to the expired deadlines and the five states' revocations.
Opposition to the ERA centered around the military draft.
Fringe arguments included suggesting that alimony would be eliminated. The issue of bathrooms also came up with opponents saying that same-sex bathrooms would be an outcome of the Amendment. Opponents also claimed it would lead to abortion on demand.
The language was first proposed in 1923 by feminist Alice Paul. The amendment that passed Congress reads:
Section 1: Women shall have equal rights in the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Section 2: Congress and the several States shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Section 3: This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.
The lack of a Constitutional amendment providing equality leaves women as a second class since the Constitution does not provide equality anywhere in its test. Laws that have been passed prohibiting discrimination and providing equal pay are held to lesser standards than Constitutional protections. Further, laws can be changed as the political winds shift.

Der Sinn dahinter ist anscheinend, die Öffentlichkeit darauf zu sensibilisieren, dass Frauen in der Schweiz durchschnittlich 19 % weniger verdienen als Männer. (www.equalpayday.ch)
Morgen (am 8. März) ist zudem Tag der Frau und ich hör's schon, wie Frauen sich doch nicht so anstellen sollen, sie seien doch schliesslich per Gesetz gleichberechtigt. Und ohnehin seien selbst schuld daran, wenn sie weniger verdienen, was würden sie auch immer schlecht bezahlte Berufe wählen, in denen sie dann auch noch Teilzeit arbeiten und es fehle ihnen überhaupt nur an Ehrgeiz. Es ist zum Kotzen!
Natürlich wäre es schön, wenn solche Aktionstage nicht mehr nötig wären und wir den Geschlechterschwachsinn endlich hinter uns lassen könnten. Solange Menschen aber aufgrund ihres Geschlechts diskriminiert werden und Gleichheit nur für Gleiche gilt, haben solche Tage durchaus ihre Daseinsberechtigung.

A rally and press conference was held on Tuesday afternoon April 10th at the Daley Center in downtown Chicago to call attention to the fact that the state of Illinois is one of fourteen states yet to pass the Equal Rights Amendment.
The Equal Rights Amendment states that: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex". The E.R.A, would provide legal protection for women in various ways including gender-based violence, equal pay, and pregnancy discrimination.
70% of America's poor are women. This also affects the children who depend on them.
Women make up roughly half the workforce and constitute two-thirds of minimum wage workers.
Women earn 79 and 44% of what men make adjusted for their race. The latter figure applies more to blacks and Hispanics.
Women are twice as likely to retire in poverty as men.
Passing the E.R.A. would ensure that employers could not give women less pay for doing the same work as a man.

One of the most persistent barriers to women’s success at work and to economic growth, unequal pay, will be actively challenged by a new global partnership, the Equal Pay International Coalition (EPIC).
With the launch of EPIC, the International Labour Organization (ILO), UN Women and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) are bringing together a diverse set of actors at the global, regional and national levels to support governments, employers and workers and their organizations, and other stakeholders, to make equal pay between women and men for work of equal value a reality.

Hubby just loves my custom made bags/pouches. This one holds 20 Equal packets for our 16 day trip to China. He wasn't sure he would be able to find Equal for his tea/coffee over there. It sure came in handy! Note the manly yarn color ;P

Frauenarbeit ist MehrWert
Der Equal Pay Day am 19. März 2016 markiert den Tag, an dem Frauen den Lohn bekommen haben, den sie bis Ende letzten Jahres verdient hätten, würden sie wie Männer bezahlt werden. DIE LINKE will Betriebe verpflichten, Entgeltdiskrimi-nierung zu beenden - bei Sanktionsandrohung.
Linke aus der Bundestags-fraktion und dem Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus beteiligten sich neben vielen Frauen und Männern aus Verbänden, Gewerkschaften und Parteien an einer Kundgebung zum Equal Pay Day. Die Fraktionsvorsitzende Sahra Wagenknecht sprach dazu und prangerte dabei die Sozialpolitik zum Nachteil vieler Frauen scharf an.

I put 2 identical toys in front of Shyla, and then I asked her to "bring". You can tell by how wide her eyes were that she wasn't sure how to "bring" both toys. So, she chose to bring one and then go back to get the second one. What a smart dog!

In a country with more than a billion people, equal participation of women in politics is important so they can influence decisions related to the allocation of resources and public schemes.
Despite positive legislation, women have often struggled to find their rightful position due to societal norms, and lack of confidence and skills.
