During World War II, Western Allied tank development tended to lag behind their German enemies and Soviet counterparts: the British split their armored forces into infantry support tanks like the Matilda and Churchill, and exploitation tanks such as the Cruiser series. The former were tough but very slow; the latter were fast but thinly armored. None of them carried a large gun, as they were not meant to duel other tanks.
Experience in North Africa, where the British tanks were regularly outgunned by German Panzers and blown apart by 88mm antitank guns, led to a major change in British tank design. The success of the Germans with the Panther and the Russians with the T-34/85 led the British to begin designing a new main battle tank, the Comet--the Comet combined the speed of a Cruiser tank with the superb 17 pounder (76mm) gun of the Sherman Firefly. The Comet's armor was still considered to be too thin to resist a direct hit from an 88, so a heavier tank was ordered. This would become the Centurion.
Whereas the Comet was the answer to the Panther, the Centurion was meant to take on the German heavies: the Tiger and King Tiger. The design specification called for armor thick enough to take multiple 88mm hits, yet retain the mobility (if not the top speed) of the Comet. It would also be equipped with the 17 pounder main gun. The designers were able to meet these requirements by using sloped armor: though the Centurion's armor was actually thinner than that of the Churchill, the sloped design made it more resistant to hits. Although the Centurion was larger than the Comet, it was just as mobile. Design changes (such as dropping the 17 pounder in favor of a more powerful 20 pounder main gun) meant that the first Centurions did not reach the British Armoured Corps until after the end of World War II, but crews were enthusiastic about the design all the same: the Centurion was a winner.
They were right. The Centurion might not have ever dueled a Tiger, but it would prove to be one of the most successful postwar tank designs, equal to (and in some cases superior to) the American M48 Patton series and the Soviet T-55. Centurions quickly replaced all other British tank designs, and was heavily exported.
It would also be combat proven. The British used their Centurions to superb effect in Korea, where Centurion regiments reinvented tank doctrine in mountainous terrain; the Australians would use them in Vietnam, where only six out of 58 were lost. India used Centurions against Pakistan, while South Africa used theirs in Angola. By far, however, the most experienced Centurion users were the Israelis. The IDF Armored Corps began to receive ex-British and Canadian Centurions just before the Six-Day War of 1968; during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, about 80 IDF Centurions destroyed 500 Syrian T-55s in the Battle of the Valley of Tears. In Israeli service, the Centurion was known as the Sho't (Scourge), and most were upgunned with American 105mm main guns.
Centurions would be replaced by the Chieftain in British Army units, but hundreds of Centurions would persist in service well into the 1990s; South Africa still uses heavily modified Centurions as the Olifant. The Centurion also underwent several dozen variants as engineering vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and even heavily modified in Israeli as turretless armored personnel carriers.
Tracing tanks is not as easy as tracing aircraft, simply because there are usually more of them, and they are usually rather anonymous. This former Canadian Army Centurion is preserved outside the Military Museums of Calgary (formerly the Museum of the Regiments), and is painted in standard overall green. It's rather faded and rusty compared to its appearance the last time I saw this tank in 2006; given the excellent condition of the Churchill next to it, more than likely the museum will restore it in the near future.
I have another picture of this Centurion, displayed alongside the Churchill and a Sherman: www.flickr.com/photos/31469080@N07/19166427321/in/photoli.... That picture was taken in 2006, whereas this one was in August 2017.

“Home is the place where socialization of a child begins, and where the biggest change can happen about the empowerment of the girl child. Mothers and fathers, and guardians alike, need to be made aware that both girls and boys are equal and that no preferential treatment should be given to any of them.” - UN Division for the Advancement of Women
Along with Hinxhill, Thanington were the two longest term targets for photographing.
I first went to Thanington at none on Heritage Day, hoping it would be open. It was locked, but a sign indicated it would be open later.
Thing about Heritage Day is to minimise travel time, but to get to Hinxhill and Thanington, there was no choice that to have a 45 minute drive from Upchurch.
With Hinxhill being open and already in the bag, I arrived at Thanington, able to park outside thanks to the road having been resurfaced and the double yellow lines not having yet being painted.
Some churches are well worth the wait to see, like Hinxhill, and others are a disappointment. Thanington falls into the latter.
Heavily restored in the 19th century, and recently re-ordered, it left me cold. But the volunteer loved her church, and she showed me what was thought to be a carved head portrait on a column.
------------------------------------------
Thanington is on the main A28, and St Nicholas set beside the road, though hides behind a huge Yew Tree.
I have been along this road many times, but the traffic is either too heavy, or too jammed to be able to stop. But one day earlier this month, I tried to see inside.
Sadly, it was locked, but then that is the fate of many urban churches, not just in Kent but all over.
So another one to add to the list come Heritage and Ride and Stride Weekend in September 2017.
---------------------------------------------
Low beside the road to Canterbury and outside (without) its walls, St Nicholas is a church that has seen many changes. An odd plan of nave with north tower, chancel and south nave chapel, it is built of local flints. Yew trees, the largest of which has an enormous round seat encompassing it, dominate the exterior. Inside the church has been recently re-ordered and the stone floor replaced by one of solid wood - a vast improvement. The pulpit and most of the nineteenth century stonework is by William Butterfield. In the nave are two gothic tablets to the Cooper family but apart from that there are few memorials to be seen. The east window of the south chapel has a fine piece of 20th century glass of The Good Shepherd contrasting with the earlier Mary and Elizabeth in its south windows. The plain arch into the tower shows the difference between medieval and later stonework and now leads to the church room added further down the slope and completely invisible from the south side of the church. The piscina is a wonderful piece of Victorian inventiveness with scrolly end stops and lobed inner arch whilst set into a recess in the east wall is a fascinating statue of St Nicholas the patron saint, with two children at his feet looking just as if they had stepped out of an Enid Blyton book! Delightful if somewhat bizarre.

HANINGTON lies about a mile from Canterbury, near the suburbs of Wincheap, part of the street of which, as well as St. Jacob's hospital at the entrance of it, are within the bounds of it; the river Stour runs through it, on the southern side is the church and courtlodge, beyond which and the Ashford road the hill rises on a poor flinty soil, among the coppice woods, as far as Iffens wood, a small part of which is within it. On the Ashford road stands the manor-house of Cockering, formerly possessed by a family of the same name, it has for some length of time belonged to the Honywoods, of Markshall, in Essex, and does now to Filmer Honywood, esq. of Marks-hall. A small distance higher on the hills, is New-house, formerly belonging to the Roberts's, of Harbledown, and thence by marriage to Robert Mead Wilmot, esq. who sold it to Sir Thomas Pym Hales, bart. as he did to Geo. Gipps, esq. the present owner of it. Between the above road and the church there are some very rich hop grounds. On the opposite, or northern side of the river, over which there is here a long wooden bridge for foot passengers only, and a ford, there is a large tract of meadows, and at the edge of them the manor and borough of Toniford. The ruins of the west front of the antient castellated mansion of it still remain, having four circular towers at equal distances, built of flint and ashlar stone. The gateway leading to it is still left, and the moat round it, very broad and deep, is still visible. Adjoining to the ruins is the modern house, built on the scite of the old one. The Kingsfords were for some generations resident here, as tenants of this estate. Above this the hill rises among much poor rough land. towards the woods.
THIS PLACE was antiently held of the archbishop, as part of his hundred and manor of Westgate, and in the reign of the Conqueror, as appears by domesday, it was held by Gosfridus Dapifer. (fn. 1) Some time after which THE MANOR OF THANINGTON appears to have been held by the eminent families of Valoyns and Septvans, of the archbishop; but in the next reign of king Richard II. it was held by Sir William Waleys, whose only daughter and heir Elizabeth carried it in marriage to Peter Halle, esq. of Herne, whose grandson Thomas died anno 1 Henry VII. unmarried, and was buried in Thanington church; upon which this manor came to his sister Joane, whose husband Thomas Atkins, in her right, became entitled to it. His son William Atkins, about the 17th year of king Henry VIII. alienated it, by fine and recovery, to John Hales, esq. of the Dungeon, in Canterbury, a baron of the exchequer, whose second son Thomas Hales, esq. by his fa ther's will, became possessed of this manor, where he afterwards resided. During which time his eldest brother Sir James Hales, late a justice of the common pleas, having been dismissed from his office on queen Mary's accession, retired to his nephew's seat here, where, in a fit of despondency, he drowned himself in the river near it, in 1555. (fn. 2) Thomas Hales died in 1583. His son Sir Charles Hales likewise resided here till he removed to Howlets, in Bekesborne, where his posterity remained till within these few years. At length his descendant Sir Philip Hales, bart. in 1775, passed it away by sale to George Gipps, esq. of Harbledowne, who is the present owner of it. A court baron is held for this manor.
TONIFORD, usually called Tunford, is a manor, situated within the borough of its own name, near the western bounds of this parish, and on that side of the river Stour next to Harbledowne. It was in early times both the property and residence of a family, who took their name from it, and bore for their arms, Gules, on a cross, argent, three fleurs de lis, sable. John de Toniford was possessed of it in the latter end of king Henry III.'s reign, and was a good benefactor to the hospital of Harbledowne. And his descendant, John de Toniford, resided here in king Edward III.'s reign, at the latter end of which he alienated it to Sir Thomas Fogge, whose son, of the same name, resided here, and died possessed of it anno 9 Henry IV. and was buried in the cathedral of Canterbury. From this family it afterwards passed into that of Browne, of Beechworth-castle, and in the 27th year of Henry VI. Sir Thomas Browne, of that place, comptroller and treasurer of the king's houshold, obtained a grant of liberty to embattle and impark, and to have free warren, &c. within this manor, among others. One of his descendants sold it to Colepeper, who again passed it away to Vane, from which name it was sold, in king Charles I.'s reign, to Capt. Thomas Collins, of Sittingborne, afterwards of Brightling, in Sussex, whose arms were Gules, on a bend, or, three martlets azure, within a bordure, ermine. In whose descendants it continued down to Mr. Henry Collins, of Chichester, who died possessed of it in king George II.'s reign, after whose death, it came to Thomas Lucksford, esq. of Chichester, whose widow Mrs. Hannah Lucksford dying in 1794, it came by devise at her decease, to William Wills, esq. of Ulcombe, who is the present possessor of it.
ST. JACOB'S, alias ST. JAMES'S HOSPITAL, which was situated at the further end of Wincheap-street, just without the bounds of the city of Canterbury, which extends close to the walls of it, was founded for leprous women, before the reign of king John. For in archbishop Hubert's time, who died in the 7th year of that reign, the prior and convent of Christ-church, in Canterbury, took this hospital into their custody and protection, and engaged themselves, that they would maintain three priests and one clerk for the service of religion, and twenty-five leprous women in this house, and supply them both, with all necessary provisions out of the profits of the church of Bredgar, and the other possessions of it, which church or parsonage king Henry III. afterwards confirmed to this hospital, in pure and perpetual alms. The revenues of it were valued anno 26 Henry VIII. at 53l. 16s. IId. in the whole, or 32l. 2s. 1¼d. clear annual income.
The members of it were exempted from the payment of tithes for their gardens and cattle; but there was a consideration in money, of eighteen pence per annum, in lieu of tithe, for the scite of the hospital, paid to the parson of Thanington.
This hospital escaped the dissolution of such foundations in king Henry VIII.'s reign, and continued till the 5th year of king Edward VI. when it was surren dered into the king's hands. The scite of it is now the property of Mr. Daniel Sankey, of Wincheap street, Canterbury. There are only the stone walls, which inclose an orchard, and the lower part of the front of the house, remaining of the antient buildings of it; the rest of the house, now called the hospital, being of a much more modern date.
There are no parochial charities. The poor constantly maintained are about fifteen, casually twenty-five.
THANINGTON is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of of the same.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Nicholas, is but small, consisting of one isle, a high chancel, and another on the south side, having a small pointed turret on the middle of the north side, in which hang three bells. It is an antient building. In the isle is a memorial for Thomas Hale, obt. 15—, rest obliterated, and arms gone. Two memorials for the Kingsfords, of Tonford. In the high chancel is a gravestone, coffinshaped. A stone with the figure of a man in armour, and inscription in brass, for Thomas Halle, esq. obt. 1485; arms, Halle, barry, three escutcheons. Within the altar-rails, a memorial for Anne, wife of Sir Charles Hales, of Canterbury, daughter of Robert Honywood, esq. of Charing, obt. 1617. Another for Sir Charles Hales, obt. 1623, arms, Hales, a crescent for difference. Memorial for Millicent, wife of Henry See, gent. married first to Henry Blechenden, esq. of Aldington; secondly to Jerom Brett, esq. of Leedes; lastly to Thomas Rownyng, gent. obt. 1612. In the south wall is an arch, hollowed in the building, and a tomb underneath. At the end of the south chancel there was formerly an altar; the niche for holy water still remains. In the church-yard, near the south side of the chancel, are the remains of an antient tomb, singularly shaped, having a stone in the shape of a lozenge lying on the base of it. By two grooves in the side and other marks, it seems to have had much more belonging to it.
This church was part of the antient possessions of the priory of St. Gregory, founded by archbishop Lanfranc, and was by archbishop Hubert confirmed to it in king Richard I.'s reign. (fn. 3) In the 8th year of king Richard II. this church was become appropriated to that priory, when, on the taxation, it was valued at 11l. 6s. 8d. at which time there was a vicarage here, valued at four pounds, being one of those small benefices in this deanry not taxed to the tenth. After which, both church and advowson, remained part of the possessions of the priory till the dissolution of it in king Henry VIII.'s reign, when it came into the king's hands, and was soon afterwards granted, with the scite and other estates of the priory, in exchange, to the archbishop, part of whose revenues the appropriation of this church continues at this time. George Gipps, esq. of Harbledowne, is the present lessee under the archbishop, of this parsonage, among the other possessions of St. Gregory's priory.
In 1774 this parsonage consisted of a part of a messuage, called the vicarage-house, or Cockering-farm, with a stable, and two pieces of land, containing thirteen acres, with the tithes of corn, hay, seeds and pasture, of hops and wood, the church-yard, and a piece of hop-ground. Total value 128l. 10s. procurations to the archdeacon 5s. and to the archbishop at his visitations 6s. The vicarage-house consists of a lower and upper room, being the north-east end of Cockering-house, Mr. Honywood's, and easily distinguished from the rest of it. A like instance of such contiguity, I never have as yet met with.
Before the dissolution of the priory this church was served by a vicar; but from that time it has been esteemed only as a perpetual curacy, in the patronage of his grace the archbishop.
¶The antient stipend of the curate was eight pounds, but archbishop Juxon increased this stipend, among others, to forty pounds, to be paid by the lessee of the appropriation, at which sum the value of it is now certified. And it has been since further augmented by two hundred pounds from the governors of queen Anne's bounty, and the addition of two hundred pounds more from the same fund, on a distribution from the legacy of Mrs. Ursula Taylor, paid to it by Sir Philip Boteler, bart.
In 1588 here were eighty-eight communicants. In 1640 only forty.
The Second Spirit is a Duchess and is called Agaresina or Agaresi, otherwise known as Agares and Agreas. She is under the Power of the East over which the Red ‘Fire-Star’ to burn for she is of half Slavic and Mongolian Chinngis Khan descent and appears as a most ravishingly attractive, though stern, young Russian woman dressed as a Tank commander. One will perceive a Goshawk perched upon her wrist, which to symbolise her Power of Remote-Viewing whereupon she can find any who to runaway for she can look over the whole world as well as to know all Languages and tongues to Teach. At her feet will be a creature of the amphibious species Crocodylidae, which symbolises her ability to speed up and to slow down Time whence to make those to Run, to Standstill, those who Standstill, to Run, for the experience of Time is very much entwined with ones Reptilian Brain-stem.
She drives around within a converted WWII Russian T34 tank or alternatively that of an American M1A1/2 Abrams main battle tank patronised by burger king McDonald's, which she has captured to paint Red for Agaresina has Siberian Oil under her Fire-Star of Ares leash to verily name the Heavy-Metal Beast as her hungry T-34 Crocodile making the Earth to shake causing Earthquakes. She has the power to destroy dignities both Spiritual and Temporal if her Master so desires it whence she to unleash her Soviet Zombie Army to tear apart the psyches of her Masters Enemies via the Astral plane; or that of initiating a Geophysical Tunguska Event Big-Bang to strike them down. Her sexual style is very much upfront of most Salacious Succubus within those Erotic Dreams she to instigate after evoking her. She Governs over 31 Legions of Kamasutra Rusalka Female Spirits like her self whom are highly versed in the Martial Art of 'Systema' who have a liking for offerings of Russian Cigarettes and Vodka given unto them.
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS TO SEER RED CHESS ARMY ON THE MOVE ACROSS BOARD
One can imaginatively associate 'Agaresina' with a 'Red-Army-Chess piece' under 'Red Queen' whom was featured in Lewis Carroll's Alice adventure, 'Through The Looking Glass' and when to have first penned it the world was verily changing at a rapid pace around him.
n the 1800s, the rise of urban industrialization triggered the proliferation of Utopian projects (Agricultural Communes) in reaction, all of which failed. Utopia became the project of creating an ideal society apart from the demoralizing city. These Utopian projects were especially popular in Britain, France, and New England. The Utopian celebration of common property and dependence upon extensive state planning were the groundwork for the political forces of both Communism and Socialism as presented in the written work of the Communist Manifesto. One can imaginatively associate 'Agaresina' with a 'Red-Army-Chess piece' under 'Red Queen' whom was featured in Lewis Carroll's Alice adventure, 'Through The Looking Glass' and when to have first penned it the world was verily changing at a rapid pace around him.
The Bolshevik 'Red' Army (Russian: Workers’-Peasants’ Red Army) began the takeover of government buildings on 24 October; however 25 October (JC) was the date when the Winter Palace (the seat of the Provisional government located in Petrograd, then capital of Russia), was captured. The "Red" of Army was officially referred to the blood of the Working Class in their Communist struggle against Capitalism, and to the belief that all are equal just as the founder of Christianity once said whom Reverend Lewis Carroll to have known well to perceive ‘Through the Looking Glass’ darkly that all are as 'Chess Pieces' across Chessboard of the greater scheme of things yet to come, playing out their individual parts, but it be the 'Queens Red and White' who can go where they will while 'Alice' pointed towards the Future Past!
‘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

This is a beautiful upright grand 1904 Mason & Hamlin. Known as one of Steinway's equals during that period. This was the grand time for pianos and the craftsmanship shows. The fundamentals of this piano have stood the test of time (sounding board, tuning pins, etc.) almost everything else has been reconditioned. The cabinet is in good but not excellent shape, but only cosmetic problems like scratches.
The piano has wonderful deep bass and really nice tone throughout. It has much more of a full sound than you can get with any smaller upright. Its measurements basically equal that of a baby grand piano.
Measures 67"W x 31"D x 55"H

Equal Pay Day
21. März, 12 – 14 Uhr
22 % auf ALLES für Frauen im sattgrün
Satte 22 Prozent – so hoch ist der Lohnunterschied zwischen Frauen und Männern im Durchschnitt. Gründe dafür sind:
Frauen arbeiten oft in Berufen, die schlechter bezahlt werden.
Frauen sind es meistens, die für die Erziehung ihrer Kinder oder die Pflege von Angehörigen eine Berufspause einlegen.
Frauen arbeiten häufig in Teilzeit und in Minijobs. Frauen erhalten bei gleichwertiger Qualifikation und gleichwertiger Arbeit weniger Geld.
Das wollen wir ändern und mit Ihnen hierüber ins Gespräch kommen.
Am Freitag zahlen Frauen im sattgrün am Hafen von 12 bis 14 Uhr für Essen und Getränke 22% weniger. Die GRÜNEN in NRW möchten mit dieser Aktion auf die immer noch bestehende Lohnungleichheit zwischen Frauen und Männern aufmerksam machen und laden ein zum gemütlichen Mittagessen mit:

When you're a watcher, no one sees you. Peering in from a narrow point, high on a hilltop through an eye made of glass. The off-roaders below have no notion they're noticed by me – looking down on the rising lights of Digby town, and Cornwallis in the distance. It's a heartwaking feeling when a beautiful sight is shared only by me. They talk in those anonymous programs about turning to a "higher power", saying it doesn't matter which one or if you really believe. I feel that way about telling tales, except I'm after an equal power, and it just might be you. Any audience is reason enough, consisting of whoever. Just the knowledge that I won't be keeping it to myself, that feeling sets me free from any loneliness. I can spend the whole day and night alone, as long as I've left a little of me out there. You save me every time.

On Equal Pay Day, members of the Gender Equity Coalition, soccer coaches and student athletes joined forces to highlight workplace gender discrimination in compensation and call on the U.S. Soccer Federation to do the right thing and end gender discrimination in soccer for the sake of future generations of young women athletes and the integrity of the sport. In addition, they called for women all over the country to sign their petition and help them send a message in the world of athletes and beyond.
On International Women’s Day, the world champion team filed a gender discrimination suit against the U.S. Soccer Federation, citing salary disparities and unequal support, including inferior training, promotion, and playing conditions than their male counterparts. Despite consistently greater success on the field than the U.S. Men’s Soccer team, the three-time world champion, four-time Olympic gold medal U.S. Women’s Soccer team continues to be paid a fraction of the salary paid to men’s team members. In addition, unequal treatment by the federation often exposes female athletes to more hazardous conditions to practice, train and compete.
“Young girls around the world idolize the U.S. Women’s Soccer players because they exemplify unmatched strength, skill and fearlessness,” said Majority Leader Kara Hahn. “Their lawsuit sends a message of solidarity with women worldwide who are fighting for equality in the workplace and presents an important teachable moment for our children about gender disparity and the ongoing fight for women’s equal rights. We want to be role models for our girls, showing them that it is OK to stand up when you think you are being treated unfairly, and that even world-renowned athletes, even champions can face gender discrimination and inequality and that’s NEVER OK.”
The team's lawsuit comes at a time when women are increasingly empowered to fight for equality throughout society and Equal Pay Day is held every April to symbolize how far into the year women need to work to make what men did in the previous year. This form of discrimination often goes unrecognized by individuals, as most companies aren’t transparent about what they pay their workers, and discussing salaries is often taboo. In most cases, workers are simply assuming what others are making and often presume that men and women are paid the same. However, economist have provided amble evidence that gender wage gap continues to exist.
Colleen Merlo, Executive Director of L.I. Against Domestic Violence and Chair of the Gender Equity Coalition states, “Today, we are wearing red to symbolize that women are “in the red” in terms of pay, as compared to men performing similar work. This issue is not just a women’s issue; it affects children and families. Unequal pay contributes to poverty, medical problems and increases violence against women; we must establish gender equity as a core value in our communities and we can start by ensuring women are paid equally for the same work as men.”
In New York State, the Gender Pay Gap (or the earnings ratio of Women’s Median earnings divided by Men’s Median earnings) is 80%. In 2017, women living in Suffolk County earned 78% of what men earned. And furthermore, equal pay does not discriminate equally. Women who are identified within minority groups fare even worse; with black woman earing 79% and Hispanic woman earning just 58% as compared to white men.
“Pay equity is critically important to having a fair and just workplace,” said Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright. “It is imperative that all persons are treated equally as it relates to pay and advancements. This is a critical issue because the impacts are long lasting and far reaching. Unequal pay and gender discrimination impacts a woman as an individual, it impacts her family and the larger society. On a personal level, as the mother of a young girl, I want my daughter to know that her mother fought for equal rights and equal pay for women when I had the opportunity.”
According to Dawn Lott, Executive Director, Suffolk County Human Rights Commission, “While national efforts in Equal Pay Day continue to bring public awareness of the historical pay gap between men and women's wages and salaries, the Suffolk Legislature has taken affirmative steps to close this gap in Suffolk County where women earn 78.1% of their male counterpart's earnings compared to 86.8% statewide by passing the RISE Act which will aid applicants in being paid based upon their skills and qualifications and not their previous salary. The Suffolk County Human Rights Commission is the agency responsible for enforcing this new legislation, investigating complaints of salary history discrimination and imposing civil fines and penalties for discriminatory conduct.
Legislator Hahn is the mother of two daughters, one who plays soccer currently and another who played several years ago while a student. Hahn created a letter writing campaign and petition for sign-on by those who believe that attaining gender equality is critical to the wellbeing of all members of society, and find the inequality between the U.S. Men’s and Women’s Soccer Teams unacceptable. The petition can be accessed at Change.org under the title Pay and Treat Women Soccer Players the Same as Male Players (chng.it/k54wZZqJH6) and a sample letter can be found at tinyurl.com/yycb3f8v.
Several members of the Suffolk County Legislature signed Majority Leader Hahn’s letter to U.S. Soccer Federation, which is addressed to Board President Carlos Cordeiro and Vice President Cindy Parlow Cone, a former team member, who was elected to the board in February.
Donna Smeland, Chair, Girl Scouts of Suffolk County said: “Strong role models who promote equal rights for women are critical to the healthy development and future success of all girls. Participating in this petition and letter-writing campaign is in tandem with our mission of building girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place."
“To succeed in today’s business world, women need to be able to compete with men as equals,” said Maggie Goldstein, Co-Director of Strategic Partnerships at Suffolk County Women's Business Enterprise Coalition. “That takes strength, confidence and commitment. The U.S. Women’s Soccer Team is an extraordinary example of these qualities and SCWBEC stands behind them as they defend themselves on the field this summer and in court.”
During the next three months leading up to the World Cup in France, the group hopes to obtain 75,000 signatures for the petition, which they will then deliver to U.S. Soccer Federation officials. A 2015 petition supporting the team garnered more than 69,000 signatures.

As evidence of the pride this state exudes, the Texas flag flies side by side next to the American flag, signifying its equal status. Almost every other state flies its flag lower than the American flag but not Texas! In this photo it seems like the Texas flag is actually somewhat higher than the American flag, which wouldn't surprise most Texans one bit!
