BILL CUNNINGHAM | A TRIBUTE TO THE STREET FASHION ANTHROPOLOGIST
Alice Pearce June 30, 2016 FASHION
On Saturday 25th June, the fashion world and beyond mourned the passing of a man who humbly spent his legendary career behind the lens to capture what fascinated him: New York's culture and street fashion. Bill Cunningham was 87. Through his 'On the Street' and 'Evening Hours' columns in The New York Times, Bill Cunningham pioneered his own branch of cultural anthropology with his fashion photography. The New Yorker declared his columns as New York's unofficial yearbook, chronicling "an exuberant, sometimes retroactively embarrassing chronicle of the way we looked" (The New Yorker, 2009).
Bill Cunningham in 1954 and 2015
In the 1950's, Cunningham's career as a milliner saw its final days as feminism revolutionised women's fashion away from its traditional bearings. After freelancing briefly as a fashion reporter, Bill leaped into the world of photojournalism when he was handed his first camera, an Olympus Pen D half-frame camera that only cost $35. Photography, as opposed to writing, was for him a more fluent expression.
"For him, it wasn't about the aesthetics of photography. It was about storytelling"
– Lesley Vinson

Riding his bicycle everywhere, he wore his customary utilitarian uniform almost everywhere: a blue french worker's jacket with beige khakis and black sneakers – his office was essentially the street. It epitomised his simplistic, shy and optimistic essence. Armed with his well-founded knowledge of fashion, Bill was able to capture a democratic range of individuals and styles that spoke the social language of fashion.

But Cunningham's rabid enthusiasm for Haute Couture and peculiarity juxtaposed his uncomplicated person. A documentarian at heart, he shot like a war photographer. People on the streets knew not to get in his way, otherwise he would "climb over you" to get to what he wanted to photograph (Kim Hastreiter, NY Times, 2016). A love for eccentricity, Bill would shoot without judgement and with curiosity. Over the span of four decades, Bill accumulated a photo-diary of his muses; eccentric statement-makers such as Anna Piaggi, Shail Vpadhya, Iris Apfel and Anna Wintour.
"It's important to almost be invisible…capturing a moment with animation and spirit."
– Bill Cunningham
Bill Cunningham | The New York Times
The street was too exciting to be left alone, Cunningham called it the "missing ingredient" in fashion journalism (Cunningham, NY Times, 2002). His inclusive coverage of street fashion, evening fashion and designer wear presented the full picture of what people were wearing at that moment in time.
"I never go out with a preconceived idea. I let the street speak to me."
-Bill Cunningham

Distanced, and almost repelled by fame and fortune, Bill liked to live modestly. He didn't own a television, slept in a single-sized cot in a studio which was filled with his negatives (film), and showered in a shared bathroom. He was even known to rip up cheques from magazines, famously remarking: "money is the cheapest thing, liberty and freedom is the most expensive" (Bill Cunningham, n.d.).
Bill Cunningham in 2015
With the little insight we have on his private, basic and frugal way of life, many have described him as a fashion monk. Writer Lauren Collins describes Bill as more of a "layperson who has dedicated his life to the tribe without becoming a part of it" (The New Yorker, 2009). Shying away from the limelight, Bill preferred to be anonymous and elusive -a mere observer- "something unachievable for such a superstar" (Michele McNally, The New York Times, 2016). It took directors eight years to persuade him to appear in Bill Cunningham New York, a 2010 documentary about his life's work.
"He wanted to find subjects, not be the subject. He wanted to observe, rather than be observed. Asceticism was a hallmark of his brand."
– The New York Times (2016)
Looking back in time; it was late December of 1978 that Cunningham unknowingly shot photos of Greta Garbo (he was more taken by the shoulder cut of her nutria coat), Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, Farrah Fawcett and the King and Queen of Spain -all from the corners of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, which became his most frequent observation points. On December 30th 1978, the Metropolitan Report featured a half-page of his photos, and soon after, his 'On the Street' column became a recurring feature. Growing to be a perennial veteran of his craft, Bill Cunningham's talents became very well known and highly regarded by fashion's elite. In Anna Wintour's famous words, "we all dress for Bill" (The NY Times, 2016).
"Stay here on Fifth Avenue and you see the whole world. Summertime—the vacationers and the Europeans. The holidays—everyone from the Midwest, the West, Japan. They're all here, the whole world!" -Bill Cunningham
Cunningham is drawn to anything natural and excitingly new; children, animals, the weather, socially historic events. Bar times of serious sickness, Bill Cunningham was always out and about, capturing what made him tick. It was his adventurous stamina which fueled his motivation to collect evidence of moments in time. He recalls the time that he left Oscar de la Renta's show in 1967 upon hearing commotion outside, to discover "flower children protesting the Vietnam war" (Bill Cunningham, The New Yorker, 2009). Another time, he was notified by Charlotte Curtis (who covered the society section of The New York Times) to head up to Sheep Meadow in the Easter of 1967, where he saw the "flower children" lying on the grass. To Cunningham, this "was all about the fashion revolution" (The New York Times, 2002). In the 1980's, he was one of the first photographers to document gay pride parades and AIDS awareness gatherings (Washington Post, 2016).
"He is also the only person I have ever known to be happiest during Fashion Week when there was rain or snow in the forecast, simply because it meant people would be dressing differently and eventually jumping over slush puddles"
-Eric Wilson
Bill Cunningham | The New York Times 2016
It was his pleasure to capture New York's fashion in response to changes in weather -especially those caught off-guard in rain or blizzards. Through his revolutionary street photography, Cunningham was able to depict how people really live and how they dress, and the impact that he and his photography has had on fashion and beyond has undoubtedly been immeasurable.
Cunningham's photographic lifestyle has bred many successors in parallel streams, such as Brandon Stanton, founder of Humans of New York. Back in 2002, Bill wrote an autobiographical piece for The New York Times, and is (here) for anyone who is interested in delving a bit more into his private mind, for he is someone whose work will stand the test of time and will always be celebrated by fashion insiders and outsiders alike.

Cambro-normando es un término usado para referirse a los caballeros normandos que se asentaron en el sur de Gales tras la invasión normanda de Inglaterra de 1066. Algunos historiadores sugieren que cambro-normando es preferible a anglonormandos, para referirse a los normandos que invadieron Irlanda después de 1170, muchos de los cuales eran originarios de Gales.

El ejemplo de cambro-normando más prominente es Richard FitzGilbert de Clare, conocido popularmente como «Strongbow» (arco recio), cuyas posesiones en Gales se situaban en el área de Pembroke y que encabezó la invasión normanda de Irlanda.

Además de estos lores cambro-normandos, algunas de las más destacadas familias irlandesas como los Walsh, Joyce y Griffith, descienden de inmigrantes galeses que llegaron con la invasión. También de origen galés son los Taafe, que llegaron a ser una de las familias más importantes de La Empalizada. Sin embargo, la familia cambro-normanda más destacada es, sin lugar a dudas, la dinastía FitzGerald, cuyos descendientes llegarían a ostentar los títulos de Condes de Kildare y de Desmond.

The perfect place to meet friends, unwind from work or de-brief during the day. All Bar One have been running stylish city bars in central locations since 1994. Whether you want to catch up over cocktails, share a bottle of well-chosen wine or enjoy an excellent meal out, you'll find something, and somewhere, to suit you.


Jessica, my girlfriend and occasional camera-lady, has decided to take the plunge and submitted her NR and Restricted license application to the Canadian Govt in June. I'm very pleased.
She's still waiting, but has been doing plenty of research and window-shopping.
1. Is it aesthetically pleasing?
3. The great intangible: Do I like it?
She saw a Rem 870 Marine magnum, which scored high on numbers 1 and 3. That prompted a drive down to Wholesale Sports for a "test pump" where the surprisingly accommodating salesperson showed her the Mossberg 500 Marine as well.
For me: the 870 is the platinum standard of pump guns, with lots of easy upgrades, replacement parts, and universal flexibility. While the mossberg feels like a rattly, loose, unoriginal knock off.
Do I convince her that the 870 is a better buy? Or am I just being a shotgun snob? I've never owned a Mossberg of any kind, so maybe its not my place to judge. Everyone I have ever talked shotguns with has been an 870 owner. And maybe thats made me biased.
I let her shoot my 14.5″ Fabarm on a regular basis, but she's looking for something that's exclusively hers.
After some consultation with the kinds of guys who are happily married with spouses who shoot, I decided to follow Jess through the buying process rather than try to lead her. I'm clearly not as knowledgeable as I could be when it comes to these firearms, and she knows her own mind better than I will.
What she settled on was an interesting choice. The Hatsan Marine is an 18.5″ pump action shotgun with a nickel finish. But because its made it Turkey she spent $290 and got an excellent gun as a result.
It's not the gun I would choose for me. But that's sort of the point: she found something that she liked, without having to make a huge cash commitment. The Hatsan is something we can afford to try out, and graduate up from if she feels the need later.
We'll have to try some serious testing, but the few field trips she's taken with it have been great.

Aruba enacts new aircraft registration legislation – February 2014
The new legislation
The Aruba Registry has recently enacted some new legislation to increase the flexibility of the aircraft registration program in Aruba and to meet demands from the industry. The changes were implemented in the aircraft registration regulation. This article will give you an overview of the key elements that have been implemented.
Qualifying companies for registration in Aruba
Prior to these changes only natural persons that are resident of Aruba or Aruba legal entities qualified for registration. The new regime expands the definition of qualifying companies to include:
https://lincolngomez.com/2014/02/05/legal-entities-qualify-for-aircraft-registration-in-aruba/
Companies which are member of (one of) these states can qualify for registration, provided these companies have and maintain a qualifying local representatives established in Aruba.
U.S. Owner Trustees U.S. Owner Trustees also qualify for registration in Aruba under this new regime.
Qualifying holders
The old regime limited registration by either Aruba owners or Aruban lessees ("houders). The new regulation also allows for aircraft manager or operators to qualify for registration. In all these instances the Registry has to verify the underlying documentation that the manager or operator has operational control of the aircraft, which is a safety oversight requirement.
Qualifying local representatives
Qualifying local representatives are limited to: lawyers, accountants and trust-offices that are directly or indirectly under regulatory supervision in Aruba. Having a qualifying local representative will, in principle, not create a taxable presence for the foreign company registering an aircraft in Aruba.
IDERA domestic registry
The new regulation creates the possibility for the Registry to maintain a separate registry for IDERA's filed with the Registry. While the Cape Town Convention does not require domestic legislation for the creation of such registry, it was deemed desirable by the Registry to provide for this to create an extra level of comfort for financiers.
Pledge/mortgage domestic registry
The regulation also allows for a separate registry to be created to file any other legal acts and/or notifications that in any way is relevant for the legal status of an aircraft. These include the filling of security interest rights in the form on an Aruba right of first pledge or an Aruba right of first mortgage.
Other rights
Other rights or notices that that can be filed with the registry include: fractional ownership, engine ownerships or rights allocated to a U.S.-(owner) Trustee. The latter was included to facilitate the recordal of the rights of U.S. (owner) Trustees in Aruba.
Gomez & Bikker
Gomez & Bikker advised the Registry with the introduction of this legislation. For more information of aircraft registration in Aruba or on the possibilities of structuring under this new regime contact: Lincoln D. Gomez @ Gomez & Bikker http://www.gobiklaw.com or Jorge Colindres, CEO Registry of Aruba http://www.airsafetyfirst.com

When we decided we were wanting to buy a home, we really wanted someone we knew we could trust, regardless of what they told us. Positive or negative. We knew Theresa through our church and there was always a sincerity about her. Throughout the entire process she was fabulous with everything. Great at listening to exactly what we wanted, efficient, and reliable. As we walked through homes she was very honest about pros and cons, even in the home we bought. She kept in mind our future plans for a family, and all the things we wanted to accommodate. Theresa truly worked for us as though she were buying for herself. As we were first time home buyers, the entire process was quite nerve racking but Theresa was able to walk us through the process with confidence. Thanks to Theresa's hard work and dedication the process was completed very fast. We would reccomend her to everyone who is looking to buy a home. Thanks Theresa for helping us get into our first home!
When my husband and I relocated to Grande Prairie in 2012, Ms. Theresa Callioux proved to be a huge facilitating factor in our move. Theresa was initially referred to us because of her cheerful personality and her success in previous real estate transactions. Theresa spent every minute available to find the perfect home for us, demonstrating an immense attentiveness to our requests and concerns. Theresa is kind, patient, respectful and pragmatic. She also works with honesty and integrity; I am proud to say that we have kept in touch and have developed a friendship since we bought our house over 5 years ago. I would strongly recommend Theresa as an agent for anyone looking to buy or sell a property.


The first blog post I ever wrote was about Naomi Campbell and a funny tee-shirt I saw. I didn't know a thing about blogging, SEO, or what WordPress was or did.
In the beginning Gorgeous In Grey wasn't even me! She was just this girl (formerly known as Hey Bella Blog–only my real readies remember her!) who wanted to find her space in the internet. She knew blogging was the next big thing, and wanted to be a part of it. Only thing was… she wasn't clear on what she wanted back from it.
She was a hot mess! She wrote about celebrity sightings, gossip news, and threw in an occasional embed from a popular tv show. Somewhere along the way, she realized that gossiping on the web was not her cup of tea. Mainly because the crunch to get the stuff up first was a real struggle. And in that world, writing doesn't matter as much. But who was the first to post it, does!
So back to the basics she went. Realizing that writing was her first love and that their was one subject she knew better than anyone else–hands down! She knew who she was. She knew the woman she wanted to be, and, she knew the woman she wasn't. So Gorgeous In Grey was born! Just a simple online diary of the sh*t I love.
That was three whole years ago! Today my blog is my crutch, my resume, my therapy couch–it's my baby. There's not a moment in the day that goes by where I don't think about how I can use this platform I've created to express myself. I think about what I want to share with the world. Which is usually everything!
Simple! Find your passion and write. All of the advertising dollars, free products, events, and other cool stuff will come if you create a genuine space for yourself. No one can teach you how to genuinely be yourself. That my dolls, you have to figure out.
So what I have I learned? That life will happened. People will judge you. You will get hurt. But what makes you a better person is how you react to life. What will make you happy is your reaction. I am having the time of my life. Simple because I changed how I thought about life.
Because I love you! And it's my blogiversary! I've got a gift for you. From my good girlfriend Jennifer Quinn. It's an amazing necklace (that I would totally rock) from Stella & Dot.
The giveaway is only open to US residents. Once the winner has been selected, I ask that you take a picture of you and your gift and post it to my facebook wall. XOXO & good luck.

De bleke borstelkurkzwam (Trametes trogii) is een schimmel behorend tot de familie Polyporaceae. Hij leeft als necrotrofe parasiet op stammen van dode bomen. Hij komt met name voor op zachte houtsoorten, zoals populier en wilg. Er zijn ook waarnemingen bekend bij andere soorten loofbomen (esdoorn, berk, beuk, eik en iep).

Kenmerken

Uiterlijke kenmerken
De hoed kan een diameter hebben van 10 cm en 4 cm van het substraat afstaan. Ze staan vaak dakpansgewijs boven elkaar. Het hoedoppervlak is droog, borstelharig, licht bruin en niet gezoneerd. Jonge vruchtlichamen zijn uniform behaard. Bij oudere worden klonten gevormd, waardoor het vruchtlichaam een ruw uiterlijk krijgt. De hebben een lengte van 1 cm. De bleek beige poriën zijn iets hoekig tot doolhofachtijg en hebben een diameter van 1 mm (15 a 20 per cm). Het vruchtvlees is ongeveer 1 cm dik, ook bleek beige en stevig krukachtig, maar meer vezelig meteen onder het hoedoppervlak.

De soort lijkt sterk op de zeldzamere bruine borstelkurkzwam. Met een KOH-reactie (Kaliumhydroxide) kleurt het bij de bruine borstelkurkzwam tijdelijk zwart en bij de bleke vindt er geen verkleuring plaats.

Microscopische kenmerken
De basidia heeft vier sterigma en meet 18-23 × 6-7,5 μm. Er zijn geen cystidia. Basidiosporen zijn cilindrisch, zeer dunwandig en inamyloïde. De afmeting is 7-12 × 2,5-4 µm. De dunwandige generatieve hyfen met gespen zijn zelden vertakt en inamyloïde. Ze hebben een diameter van (2) 2,3-2,5 (4) μm. De hyfen in het vruchtvlees zijn radiaal gerangschikt, de hyfen in de buitenste lagen van het vruchtlichaam zijn dikwandig (wanden tot 2 μm dik) en licht amyloïde.

Voorkomen
De bleke borstelkurkzwam komt alleen voor op het noordelijk halfrond: in Noord-Amerika, Europa en Azië. Hij is wijdverbreid in Europa, maar niet in alle landen - niet waargenomen in Engeland en Denemarken. Hij komt vaker voor in warmere streken, op het Scandinavische schiereiland is hij zeer zeldzaam en ook hij komt ook niet voor in Polen. In Nederland komt hij algemeen voor. Hij staat niet op de rode lijst en wordt niet bedreigd.

A Moment of True Decolonization (ENG)
Daily Podcast #13 Sónia Vaz Borges /// Learning from Amílcar Cabral
With Sónia Vaz Borges.
ABOUT SÓNIA VAZ BORGES ///
Sónia Vaz Borges is an interdisciplinary militant historian and social-political organizer. She is the author of Militant Education, Liberation Struggle; Consciousness: The PAIGC education in Guinea Bissau 1963-1978, (Peter Lang, 2019) and of "On the Space of Imaginations and the Space of Memories: Remembering the Conakry PAIGC Headquarters," in The Funambulist 21 Space & Activism (January-February 2019).

ABOUT THIS DAILY PODCAST SERIES ///
As many of us are confined in many places of the world, we wanted to provide you with a daily podcast in partnership with Radio Alhara emitting from Palestine. Our ambition for it is to not add to the saturation of information we are currently experiencing but, rather, to propose a daily extension 15-minute of our political imaginaries.
The concept is very simple. Every day, we ask one person the same question: "what is for you a moment of true decolonization?" The answer can be a historial moment or something they witnessed; something heroic and grandiose, or rather discreet and mundane; a durable blow to the structures of colonialism or a short instant of liberation.
While we are recording this podcast in privileged conditions of confinement, we keep in our thoughts the multitude of people around the world who do not share similar conditions or have no choice but to risk being affected by the pandemic because of criminal policies that have to do with neoliberalism, carceralism, or colonialism
We thank you for listening and wish you and your loved ones the very best wherever you are.
(music by hooksounds originals)
NB. The Funambulist daily podcast is also played every day at 3:30PM, Palestine time, on راديو الحارة Radio Alhara, a new radio produced from locked-down Bethlehem and Ramallah, along with another 15-minute production about worldwide solidarity, created specifically by The Funambulist for the purpose of this show.
EPISODE TRANSCRIPT ///
Sónia Vaz Borges: I can tell how I got in contact first with his writings. I was almost at the end of university and a friend told me where I could find the writings of Cabral in the school library. And I went to the library, because the books are not available, you could not buy them because they were produced in 1981, if I'm not wrong, and since then they were not produced until 2003 and maybe till 2013, something like that. I went to the library, I copied all these two books, The unity and struggle, the Volume I and Volume II, and I read them. Once I started to read I could not stop because by reading Cabral, I start to understand the Cape Verdean migration in Portugal and also to understand the culture, understand the music, understand the food, understand my parents' background history, some things that were, til University, not present in any school curriculum that I could understand in Portugal. I could understand my family history, but I couldn't complement it with other knowledge that school would provide me. So it was the end of 2002 if I'm not wrong, when a friend told me where I could find the writings of Cabral. And once I started to read Cabral, one of the speeches that really made me aware of the situation in Portugal was a conference that he gave in Cairo in 1961, where he talks about the idea of decolonization in the idea of the liberation struggle. And here I have a quote of this text, where he says, "Our people make a distinction between the fascist colonial government and the people of Portugal. They are not fighting against the Portuguese people. However, the objective situation of the large popular masses in Portugal, oppressed and exploited by the ruling class in their countries, should make them understand the great advantages for them, which will flow from the victory of the African people over the Portuguese colonialism.". And then it continues, "We must reaffirm that, while being opposed to all fascism, our people are not fighting Portuguese fascism. We are fighting Portuguese colonialism, the destruction of fascism must be the work of the Portuguese, the people themselves, the destruction of the Portuguese colonialism will not be the work of our peoples. Why the fall of the fascism in Portugal might not lead to the end of Portuguese colonialism, we are certain that the elimination of the Portuguese colonialism will bring the destruction of the Portuguese fascism.".
And why I see the importance of this passage is because it helped me to understand how come the April 25 revolution in Portugal that ended fascism, that happened in 1974, comes from.
Cabral wrote this in 1961. And throughout the struggle, he wrote letters to Portuguese military, to people who are working, Cape Verdeans and Guineans, who were forced to be part of the Portuguese army. He wrote letters to students and one of these letters was directed to the Portuguese military or the Portuguese soldiers. And this was written in 1963. And he says that the time has arrived that people should understand the benefits of this struggle, not just for the Cape Verdeans but also for the end of fascism in Portugal. And these ideas were being broadcasted in Guinea-Bissau throughout the liberation struggle at the PAIGC liberation radio. So the Portuguese military, they were very aware of the speeches. And the importance of it is like in 1974, finally, the Portuguese military took a decision to put an end to fascism in Portugal. So this picture of Cabral shows, like the process of decolonization not just from the liberation struggle, but also the process that took place for the Portuguese military to understand the state of oppression that they were being victims inside their own countries.
Léopold Lambert: Can we talk a bit about how much Cabral was incredibly clairvoyant in saying that the African revolutions will bring revolution in Europe as well. I mean, in Portugal, specifically. This is very much what happened, didn't it?
SVB: One of the aspects or at least one Portuguese writer wrote that the April 25 happens, but it was incomplete happening because the Cabral was missing. And he said Cabral was missing because he actually envisioned the struggle. He could understand the struggle that he was doing in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde and related it with the state of oppression that Portuguese people were being victims of. So when April 25 happens, they say that this happening, this revolution was incomplete because Cabral was missing because he was killed in 1973. What I think is important to understand from this broader context of Cabral and the PAIGC, and the revolution of April 25, is that these links are never shown in school manuals. And for me being a Cape Verdean born and raised in Portugal, and having to celebrate the April 25th as the end of the fascist regime in Portugal, but not making the link with my own process or the issue of my parents coming from Cape Verde, living in Portugal, raising their kids in Portugal, this has still, when my parents immigrated to Portugal, it was still colonial times. And they live the decolonization or the independence of Cape Verde in Portugal, and how these things are not explained in school manuals. I think from the side of Portugal, this is mind blowing because you explore something so important for a country just from one perspective, without giving the old context of how this revolution came about, and we exclude decolonization and the liberation struggle from all this process.
LL: Because the decolonization that Cabral is describing is, of course, the decolonization of the African continent and Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde. Yet he also talks about the decolonization of the colonizers themselves, which to a certain degree the Portuguese revolution, sort of initiated, perhaps, but looking at Portugal today, I think the last thing we can say is that Portugal has decolonized itself, right? There's still a whole imaginary of the great discoveries and still a lot of violence, and segregation towards Mozambiquean and Angolan and Guinean and Cape Verdean people in Portugal today, right?
SVB: In Portuguese manuals, they go through all these romantic ideas of the discoveries. But they never explained the violence, that this was not just in the continent, but through all the countries that it travels to. And Portugal included, because we talked about for example, the enslavement of black people in the Americas. But we never talked about that in Portugal, it's all a glorification of these discoveries. And then again, you have later the glorification of April 25. But you never explain the process in between, this long process of liberation struggle from where PAIGC comes from, for example, in Portugal. Before you have the PAIGC, before, as your other colleague spoke about, The house of the students of the Empire. And before that you have in the 1920s already movements of intellectual thinking not just in Portugal, but also in the African continent who have these links. So there's a long tradition of struggle in Portugal. And the way we select what we show without making this interdisciplinary study of how one affects the other or the internationalism of these effects, I think is till today, Portugal, hasn't done that. It was able to do the revolution, but was not able to continue this decolonization process, that the decolonization itself or the giving independence to other countries itself is important to do too.
LL: And of course, you're citing quite a few times what you learn at school in Portugal, but your work has been looking at what the revolutionaries from Guinea-Bissau already have been doing in terms of education as opposed to Portuguese education that still continues today. Could you maybe tell us about it a bit?
SVB: Based on what I read and what I learned throughout these years and also from the result of my master thesis, which was focused on Cabral. And finding in the archives, the reading, that the PAIGC had developed some school manuals. It was always very intriguing for me. Understanding the struggle, reading about the struggle, reading Cabral, but not seeing like a specific aspect of it. How do you put these ideas in practice? How do you prepare this? Or how do you transmit this to the next generation? And that's when I started to think about the question, can the liberation struggle be understood as educational practice? And if yes, where can I see that? And it was throughout this question that I started to research about what PAIGC was teaching or what was the goal of these school manuals? To whom were they directed to? How were they put in practice, then that's how I come to the schools. And by understanding these school manuals, PAIGC had a very clear idea of what he wanted to show or to transmit to students; this could be from early age to adults, because PAIGC was for kids and adults. So the education was a lifelong process. It was interesting to see the message that they were interested to pass to, they had shown not only what happened before, for example, with the great empires, the history of Guinea Bissau, the history of Cape Verde, but also to understand what is this crucial moment that they were living now, and why it came about. So understanding that he means to explain what enslavement was, explaining what colonialism is, explaining what imperialism is. Explaining what can come after this process if we don't do this decolonization process of the South and of the country. So that's how I think the PAIGC has done it. And it could be a great example for us to think what we are explaining in our school manuals. And probably I come to this idea of working with the PAIGC schools based on my own experience of education in Portugal.
LL: Thanks Sónia. I can see two ways of going deeper into what we discussed today. The first one is just a small bridge with the episodes we had with Ana Naomi De Sousa about "the house of the student of the empire" that you briefly mentioned. And another is an hour-long podcast that was recently released on "Millennials are killing capitalism", in which you're interviewed in a much more extensive way, people can listen to it.

Playbill, June 2017 — A fence divides two backyards in Native Gardens, a new play at Chicago's Victory Gardens Theater. A white couple has lived for a long time on one side of the fence. On the other side, a Latino couple has just moved in. When you see that fence, it's hard not to think of Donald Trump's wall.
But playwright Karen Zacarias wrote her script a couple of years ago, when few people expected Trump to become president. By the time Native Gardens made its world premiere—in January 2016 at Cincinnati's Playhouse in the Park—Trump was leading polls in the Republican primaries, but he still seemed like a long shot to end up in the White House.

Playbill, January 2017 — For a playwright who has received the highest praise from critics, Ike Holter is disarmingly modest. "I'm pretty dumb," the 30-year-old Chicagoan says, struggling to explain how he writes his riveting dialogue. "I have no way of saying how it comes out." Dumb? Really?

Playbill, December 2016 — As the world marked the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death, Chicago had good reason to boast. Even though it's an ocean and half a continent away from Shakespeare's home turf in England, the city hosted the largest celebration of the Bard in 2016.
"There's really nothing that matches Shakespeare 400 Chicago," says Jill Gage, referring to the year-long series of events that took place at Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier and other venues around town. As that festival wraps up in December, Gage has curated an exhibit at the Newberry Library called Creating Shakespeare. Inside two galleries flanking the research library's entrance, glass cases offer glimpses of rare books—including the Newberry's very own copy of the First Folio, a massive tome that collected all of Shakespeare's plays in 1623, seven years after his death. Just seeing Shakespeare's words printed in black ink on that yellowed, centuries-old paper is an eye-opening experience.

In November 2021, Congressman Steven Horsford voted for the bipartisan passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a landmark law that will invest more than $4 billion in Nevada to create good-paying union jobs, rebuild Nevada's economy, improve roads, public transportation, and water infrastructure, and expand access to high-speed internet.
As Nevada recovers from the pandemic, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will help to reduce inflation and lower costs for Nevada families by reducing supply chain backlogs and improving the flow of goods and services.
Specifically, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will:
Strengthen Nevada's roads and bridges. Reducing congestion and improving Nevada's roads will help our state's economy grow. Since 2011, commute times have increased nearly eight percent in Nevada, and on average, each driver pays $558 per year in costs due to driving on roads in need of repair. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will put Nevadans to work in good-paying jobs repairing and rebuilding the system that gets us to work and school and delivers goods to market. Investments will also fund public transit and high-speed rail to further ease traffic congestion.
Improve the safety of Nevada's transportation system. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will direct tens of millions of dollars to Nevada for highway safety programs to improve driver behavior and reduce deaths and injuries from motor vehicle-related crashes.
Expand Nevada's public transportation options. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will direct hundreds of millions of dollars to Nevada to expand public transportation and increase transportation equity. Currently, Nevadans who take public transportation spend an extra 134% of their time commuting and non-White households are 2 times more likely to commute via public transportation. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will help remedy these inequities and expand opportunities across Nevada.
Connect every Nevadan to reliable high-speed internet. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will help connect every Nevadan to the high-speed internet they need to work and learn. Under the law, Nevada will receive funding to provide affordable, high-speed internet to more than 123,000 Nevadans who currently lack it. In addition, 825,000 Nevadans — or 26% of people in Nevada — will be eligible for the Affordability Connectivity Benefit, which will help low-income families afford internet access.
Deliver clean drinking water to every Nevadan and eliminate lead service lines and pipes. Historic drought caused by climate change is threatening Nevada's water supply. Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Nevada will receive $403 million over five years to improve water infrastructure across the state and ensure that clean, safe drinking water is a right in all communities.
Prepare Nevada's infrastructure for the impacts of climate change, cyber attacks, and extreme weather events. Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Nevada will expect to receive millions in funding to protect against wildfires and cyberattacks.
Improve Nevada's airports. Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, airports in Nevada will receive hundreds of millions of dollars to continue bringing people, goods, and jobs to our state. This funding will address critical needs at airports, such as improving runways, taxiways and airport-owned towers, terminal development projects, and noise reduction projects. In addition, $5 billion in discretionary funding is available over five years for airport terminal development projects that address the aging infrastructure of our nation's airports, including projects that expand accessibility for persons with disabilities, improve access for historically disadvantaged populations, improve energy efficiency, and improve airfield safety.
Modernize and expand passenger rail. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will expand high-speed rail, eliminate the Amtrak maintenance backlog, and bring world-class rail service to Nevada and communities across the country.
Build a network of electric vehicle chargers to facilitate long-distance travel and provide convenient charging options. The U.S. market share of plug-in electric vehicle (EV) sales is only one-third the size of the Chinese EV market. In 2020, plug-in electric vehicles made up only 2.3% of new car sales in the U.S., compared to 6.2% in China. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will build out the first-ever national network of EV chargers in the United States to address the climate crisis and support domestic manufacturing jobs.

Will Marijuana Be Rescheduled in 2016?
In January, President Barack Obama stated that rescheduling marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act's Schedule 1 is "a job for Congress." At the time, prominent advocates of liberalization of United States marijuana laws countered that the executive branch has the authority to unilaterally move marijuana to a lower schedule. A letter sent Monday by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), along with seven cosigning senators, to the heads of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) suggests that the Obama administration may have since decided to move forward with unilateral executive branch rescheduling of the plant during Obama's final year in office.

Factors Influencing Extent of Opinion Leadership of Farm Women in Himalayan Regions of Uttarakhand, India
Neelam Basera
The use of social network theories dates back to 1930s. With the advent of new and advanced technologies, there has been an explosion and expansion of its applications to various disciplines. The study applies social network theory and analysis to analyze agricultural knowledge exchange and decision-making network of farm women. The analysis detects farm women who occupy central and strategic positions and acts as opinion leaders in the network. It also identifies the factors which influences their extent of opinion leadership. The study was carried out in the Himalayan regions of Uttarakhand state in northern India. Descriptive research design and multi-stage sampling were adopted. Data were collected through survey sociometric method and UCINET was used for analysis and interpretations of network data. Degree centrality was used to identify opinion leaders within the network. SPSS was used to analyze the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Using network analysis, twenty four opinion leaders were identified among the farm women. Their extent of opinion leadership was influenced by age, marital status, farming experience, socio- economic status, innovativeness, achievement motivation, decision making ability, risk preference, economic motivation, information seeking behaviour,
cosmopoliteness and social participation.
Social network analysis can be applied to identify network roles like stars, leaders, connectors, gatekeepers and liaisons, etc.
Opinion leaders may acts as a bridge between the farming world and the technological platforms.
Network centrality particularly degree centrality may be used to identify opinion leaders in a network.
The extent of opinion leadership exhibited by opinion leaders may vary from individual to individual while strong opinion leadership is concentrated among few.
Socio-economic, personal, psychological and communication characteristics affects the extent to which opinion leadership is exhibited by opinion leaders.


Injuries during recreational boating often involve alcohol. It is important that the maritime laws governing safe boat operation be observed, just as drunk driving laws are observed on the road. A boat operator with impaired judgment and motor skills may cause a collision, capsize, or leave dangerous equipment unsecured, any of which could cause injury or a drowning.
Recreational boating accidents sometimes involve water skiing or tubing, or other pastimes that are likely to involve children. In these cases, the need for responsible boat operation is even greater. Other cases may involve falldown injuries when boarding.
At Smith & Hassler, our experienced lawyers can help if you or a loved one has been injured in boating accident. We handle cases in Houston and throughout Texas.
