At first I thought this was a representation of blind justice, but it is "Equal Justice" a 1938 statue by Benjamin Hawkins. This 17 foot tall, 44 pound statue is one of two he produced for the U.S. Court House and Custom House in St. Louis.
‘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.

One of seven installations during the event Lights in Alingsås 2016 – the theme of the year is Enlightenment. It is based on the 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development agreed to by 193 world leaders. This installation is inspired by the goal "5 Gender equality".
Workshop head: Sabine De Schutter, Germany: "When I was a child, everything seemed equal. I thought I could do anything and everything. I´ve realized our world isn´t equal at all! I understand why they said not to play football or to go out after dark. My voice isn´t heard equally, I don´t have the same opportunities. I am a woman.
One day I wish to see equal chances and respect for all girls and women. That we feel safe whenever and wherever we go. I wish for a better world!"
Every year in september/october leading international lighting designers come to Alingsås to hold a week´s workshop with participants from all over the world. Together they light a number of buildings and locations around the town centre. Around 80 000 people come every year to see the designs during the month-long event.

Don't let anyone tell you dog's can't count.
Mine can absolutely count at least to Two (as in, they know in a particular situation I should have thrown two cookies and they only found one) AND they know if the other dog gets MORE of something.

California Adopts Strong Equal Pay Protections
Gov. Jerry Brown signed the California Fair Pay Act into law Tuesday.
California will soon have what advocates say are the strongest equal pay protections in the country after Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed the California Fair Pay Act into law Tuesday.
SB 358, introduced by state Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson (D) earlier this year, requires employers to prove that any pay gap between workers is due to factors like skill level or seniority and not gender. Additionally, the legislation protects workers from retribution for sharing salary information or asking about their colleagues' compensation.
Brown signed the bill into law during a ceremony at Rosie the Riveter Park in Richmond, California.
"Sixty-six years after passage of the California Equal Pay Act, many women still earn less money than men doing the same or similar work," Brown said. "This bill is another step toward closing the persistent wage gap between men and women."
The bill unanimously passed in the state Senate in May, and cleared the Assembly 66-2 last week.
Jackson attended Tuesday's ceremony, posting a celebratory photo on Twitter:
"This is a momentous day for California, and it is long overdue. I want to thank the Governor for his support and for signing this bill into law. Equal pay isn’t just the right thing for women, it’s the right thing for our economy and for California," Jackson said in a statement. "Today, California leads the nation in showing how it can be done."
The legislation goes a step further than existing fair pay regulations by establishing the standard of equal pay for "substantially similar work" rather than "equal work." The bill's backers say this language closes a loophole employers could use to justify gender-rooted differences in compensation.
While federal attempts at closing the gender gap, such as the U.S. Senate's Paycheck Fairness Act, have divided congressional Democrats and Republicans, the California bill had strong support from both parties as well as business groups like the California Chamber of Commerce.
"As working moms and women who have competed in male-dominated industries, Assembly Republican women stand behind the importance of paying women and men equally for equal work," Assembly Minority Leader Kristin Olsen (R) said in a statement in August.
On average, women are paid 78 cents for every dollar a man earns. The gender pay gap is even worse for women of color. As the Center for American Progress reported last year, Hispanic women on average made just 54 percent of what white men made in 2013, while black women made 64 cents on the dollar compared to white men.
Equal pay regulations have been on the books in California since 1959, but pay disparity still persists. A 2013 study by the National Partnership for Women & Families found California women earned an average of 85 cents on the dollar compared to men, costing female full-time workers approximately $33.6 billion annually.
Advocates hope California's new law is a beacon of progress to come.
"The win here is undeniable. We think of 2015 as the year of fair pay," Equal Rights Advocates executive director Noreen Farrell said in a statement. "With the strong support for fair pay bills in the California legislature, a business community willing to prioritize pay equity for women, and calls for fair pay from the Oscars stage to the United Nations, it seems the tides are shifting toward closing the gender wage gap."
The law also won praise from actress Patricia Arquette, who put a spotlight on pay equality during her acceptance speech at the 2015 Academy Awards.
"The California Fair Pay Act received bipartisan support because women support families and drive our economy. They also have tremendous political power," Arquette said in a statement. "It is a critical step toward ensuring that women in California are seen and valued as equals."
The California Fair Pay Act goes into effect Jan. 1.

Rainbow March For Marriage Equality Melbourne, 1st October 2017
The 'yes' campaign has already made history. Now we need to win the vote, and win by a lot.
Thousands joined Equal Love's 'YES' rally Sunday October 1st, 2017 to demonstrate that the mass of people support equality and to remind those who have yet to vote 'yes' that it is imperative that they do.
President Josipović explains: "A just society does not turn away from people who need assistance and support. We were among the first countries in Europe that reached significant strategies on this matter, but the question we need to ask ourselves is whether we can do even more."
