[D]omesticated attack dogs [...] hunted those who defied the profitable Caribbean sugar regimes and North America’s later Cotton Kingdom, [...] enforced plantation regimens [...], and closed off fugitive landscapes with acute adaptability to the varied [...] terrains of sugar, cotton, coffee or tobacco plantations that they patrolled. [...] [I]n the Age of Revolutions the Cuban bloodhound spread across imperial boundaries to protect white power and suppress black ambitions in Haiti and Jamaica. [...] [Then] dog violence in the Caribbean spurred planters in the American South to import and breed slave dogs [...].

---

Spanish landowners often used dogs to execute indigenous labourers simply for disobedience. [...] Bartolomé de las Casas [...] documented attacks against Taino populations, telling of Spaniards who ‘hunted them with their hounds [...]. These dogs shed much human blood’. Many later abolitionists made comparisons with these brutal [Spanish] precedents to criticize canine violence against slaves on these same Caribbean islands. [...] Spanish officials in Santo Domingo were licensing packs of dogs to comb the forests for [...] fugitives [...]. Dogs in Panama, for instance, tracked, attacked, captured and publicly executed maroons. [...] In the 1650s [...] [o]ne [English] observer noted, ‘There is nothing in [Barbados] so useful as … Liam Hounds, to find out these Thieves’. The term ‘liam’ likely came from the French limier, meaning ‘bloodhound’. [...] In 1659 English planters in Jamaica ‘procured some blood-hounds, and hunted these blacks like wild-beasts’ [...]. By the mid eighteenth century, French planters in Martinique were also relying upon dogs to hunt fugitive slaves. [...] In French Saint-Domingue [Haiti] dogs were used against the maroon Macandal [...] and he was burned alive in 1758. [...]

Although slave hounds existed throughout the Caribbean, it was common knowledge that Cuba bred and trained the best attack dogs, and when insurrections began to challenge plantocratic interests across the Americas, two rival empires, Britain and France, begged Spain to sell these notorious Cuban bloodhounds to suppress black ambitions and protect shared white power. [...] [I]n the 1790s and early 1800s [...] [i]n the Age of Revolutions a new canine breed gained widespread popularity in suppressing black populations across the Caribbean and eventually North America. Slave hounds were usually descended from more typical mastiffs or bloodhounds [...].

---

Spanish and Cuban slave hunters not only bred the Cuban bloodhound, but were midwives to an era of international anti-black co-ordination as the breed’s reputation spread rapidly among enslavers during the seven decades between the beginning of the Haitian Revolution in 1791 and the conclusion of the American Civil War in 1865. [...]

Despite the legends of Spanish cruelty, British officials bought Cuban bloodhounds when unrest erupted in Jamaica in 1795 after learning that Spanish officials in Cuba had recently sent dogs to hunt runaways and the indigenous Miskitos in Central America. [...] The island’s governor, Balcarres, later wrote that ‘Soon after the maroon rebellion broke out’ he had sent representatives ‘to Cuba in order to procure a number of large dogs of the bloodhound breed which are used to hunt down runaway negroes’ [...]. In 1803, during the final independence struggle of the Haitian Revolution, Cuban breeders again sold hundreds of hounds to the French to aid their fight against the black revolutionaries. [...] In 1819 Henri Christophe, a later leader of Haiti, told Tsar Alexander that hounds were a hallmark of French cruelty. [...]

---

The most extensively documented deployment of slave hounds [...] occurred in the antebellum American South and built upon Caribbean foundations. [...] The use of dogs increased during that decade [1830s], especially with the Second Seminole War in Florida (1835–42). The first recorded sale of Cuban dogs into the United States came with this conflict, when the US military apparently purchased three such dogs for $151.72 each [...]. [F]ierce bloodhounds reputed to be from Cuba appeared in the Mississippi valley as early as 1841 [...].

The importation of these dogs changed the business of slave catching in the region, as their deployment and reputation grew rapidly throughout the 1840s and, as in Cuba, specialized dog handlers became professionalized. Newspapers advertised slave hunters who claimed to possess the ‘Finest dogs for catching negroes’ [...]. [S]lave hunting intensified [from the 1840s until the Civil War] [...]. Indeed, tactics in the American South closely mirrored those of their Cuban predecessors as local slave catchers became suppliers of biopower indispensable to slavery’s profitability. [...] [P]rice [...] was left largely to the discretion of slave hunters, who, ‘Charging by the day and mile [...] could earn what was for them a sizeable amount - ten to fifty dollars [...]'. William Craft added that the ‘business’ of slave catching was ‘openly carried on, assisted by advertisements’. [...] The Louisiana slave owner [B.B.] portrayed his own pursuits as if he were hunting wild game [...]. The relationship between trackers and slaves became intricately systematized [...]. The short-lived republic of Texas (1836–46) even enacted specific compensation and laws for slave trackers, provisions that persisted after annexation by the United States.

Perinteet - eng; traditions

I present you my contribution to the F1 x national costume collaboartion, the Finnish national costume, modeled by Valtteri Bottas.

Finnish national costumes have generally similar fit all around the country, but the fabric design and colours change regionally. Valtteri is from Päijät-Häme region, so the style and fabric are the Häme style.

Grymala's uses line in aumzeichnung (Circuit) as an investigation of space, extending from two dimensions into three. The lines are immersive and envelope the space as well as viewers, asking them to question where these two different worlds of space begin and end. My week 1 artwork explores these ideas through its use of angular and circular radiating lines.

Memories in Meta

Shying away from the consumer experience of fashion in the Metaverse, I came across a pretty cool article today which I feel, brought something new to the table when it comes to the bridge between fashion and this digital medium. The article published on Hypebeast, showcased how the CFDA had launched its own Metaverse Exhibit that curated some of the most iconic fashion moments in American history, and turned it a digital recreation, something I had never personally seen before and have yet to talk about on this blog. The CFDA, Council of Fashion Designers of America, turned to the Metaverse to highlight certain moments in American fashion history such as pieces from Dapper Dan, the outfits of Eric B & Rakim, all the way to the latest collection of luxury menswear powerhouse Thom Browne, not only taking a unique approach to the display of fashion history, but also a unique approach to building and curating something built like a "Museum." The exhibit comes following the release of an exclusive NFT collection by the CFDA which featured collaboartions with fashion names like Michael Kors, Coach, and Tommy Hilfiger.

Looking at it on a larger scale, I feel this brings a new way for those within fashion to channel the Metaverse not only for business, but also creative freedom and artistic expression. The curation of fashion history bottled into a Metaverse rollout is something new, and something I hope to see going forward within this industry.

this bit is actually part of a collaboartive fic i'm working on for @patrol-partners-batphandom-2023 hehehehe 🤭

But it was nothing compared to the original incident. The feeling of the earth breaking apart under her feel and the sky tumbling down from above would haunt her for a long time to come. Even now, she couldn't go outside without feel the tension in the ley lines, all pulled tight like a rubber band about to snap. She thought maybe the cards would shed some light on the situation but they appear just as confused as she is. Zatanna reaches forward, picking up the only card in the first row: the Ace of Swords reversed. The catalyst only has an incomplete understanding of the situation. The card directly under that—the situation is seems—is the Tower. The Tower was never good, but it's at least understandable here. Something broke in the cosmos—that was apparently clear.

Heads Up, Seven Up!

Here's something from a few chapters away in Our Scattered Pieces.

Turning, Des watched his brother and nephew interact with their new friends. Maya planted a kiss on Clive's cheek and the boy made a face, exaggeratedly wiping the spot with his sleeve while Maya laughed at him.

Hershel was smiling, hands casually behind his back as he talked to Mr. Wright, who was grinning sheepishly.

But Hershel's fingers were fidgeting and his gaze was soft in a way Des had only seen in old pictures of his brother's university days.

Mr. Wright rubbed at his neck, face flushing slightly and Hershel laughed, ducking his head.

"Oh." Des groaned. "Oh no."

Corporate and Geo-Political DEI Workforce Drain

Corporate and Geo-Political DEI Workforce Drain

Businesses around the globe are facing dynamic change. Change is driven by Social, Economic, Environmental, and Geo-Political influences. At the foundation of these forces are the people, the participants, actors, and players that Act – Do and Consume. Their behavior in the workplace is often influenced by corporate culture, integration, and collaboration at all levels (The hive mind effect).…

I need to finish a few more details to share this amazing collaborative project with an artist from New Zealand Rehua Wilson. It’s not only about a combination of styles and media but also about a culture similarity.

Feel free to folow me on Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram.

5 Types of Team Communication

A workplace for team communication is made up of people from various backgrounds and peer groups. The responsibility for finding a balance that combines all individuals into a cohesive team rests with the company.
