From Northern California Trivia by Ernie & Jill Couch This was a big success and we should continue to host this activity. The four page club and show presentations made it Fiesta Fotos very easy to talk it up with guests. It remains to be seen if participating clubs gain new members from this project but I remain optimistic. An effort is being made to encourage the Nor Cal Council of Philatelic Societies to continue to have the club/show presentations to be exhibited at other shows. The presentations and exhibits that Jim Steinwinder prepared made a huge visual impact. Jim did a tremendous amount of research creating the presentations, especially finding the original artwork and design inspirations for the stamp designs of early US commemoratives. Jim also donated VERY generously to our club sale. The whole club owes Jim a huge debt of gratitude. The club sale netted $271 in sales. This is more than last year and a great result, but we should challenge ourselves to exceed this in 2015. Jim Steinwinder with his video and stamp The youth programs were another success this year. We had exhibit located in the hospitality area. 23 Boy Scouts earn their stamp collecting merit badge on Saturday. Local Cub Scouts attended to earn the collecting belt loop. We had about 40 Cub Scouts, plus their siblings and parents. Several nice thank-you emails were received from the parents afterward. We can be proud of the variety of opportunities we provide young people to learn about philately. Did you meet our guest Howard Petchel? He is a fascinating individual with a wealth of information about counterfeit stamps and postal fraud. I look forward to reading his three books in the coming months. There was a good turnout for his talk Saturday, but only myself and Kristin on Sunday. I wish I had been better able to promote his visit. He is negotiating with the WESTPEX committee to make an appearance there as well. I didn’t have an opportunity to interact with the India Study Circle, so I don’t have a personal account for how their meetings and activities went. I’d love to hear from anybody who has any Located in the hospitality area, David Occhipinti sits feedback on the ISC. at the table of the SJSC’s philatelic items for sale. A major source of improvement for 2015 is publicity to the general public. I tried to do it myself this year, but it didn’t work out very well. Professional help is required. One thing we can work on is starting to develop a presence on social media for both the club and show. This alone won’t create the attendance boost we want, but it is a start we can do for zero cost. A second way to improve is have more participation from more of our club members and more members from regional clubs. Jim Steinwinder and David Occhipinti worked every hour for the entire show. That is way too much time for anyone to have to spend on any chore for the show. We must do much better next year. Everybody in the club deserves the opportunity to get away from booth duty and enjoy the rest of the show.

Given space constraints, I will not be able to call out every individual that has helped me along this process. Despite that, there are a few people that I will single out. Without them this thesis would not have existed. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Professor Sylvia Sellers-García. My love for and interest in South American historical texts began in her Travelers in Latin America class. Since that time, I have consistently relied on her for information, advice, and good conversation. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance over the past year, as well as her constant willingness to meet with me and discuss my progress. I am also very grateful to the Boston College academic community and the History department as a whole. Professor Penelope Ismay provided an encouraging and at times calming perspective during the fall semester. Research librarian Elliott Brandow always knew where to find the source for which I was looking, no matter how obscure it was.

  • Simon Bolivar Biography
    Simon Bolivar Biography Simon Bolivar (1783 – 1830) was a Venezuelan military and political leader who was instrumental in helping Latin American countries achieve independence from the Spanish Empire. During his lifetime, he helped countries, such as Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia to independence. Bolivar also helped lay the foundations of democracy in Latin America – serving as president from 1819 to 1830 of the Hispanic-American republic known as Gran Colombia. Simon Bolivar was born July 1783, in Caracas, Venezuela to wealthy aristocratic parents in Venezuela. His parents died when he was young, and he was largely brought up by his nurse, family friends and a series of instructors and educators. One of the most influential of his teachers was Don Simon Rodriguez, who taught the young Bolivar about the ideals of liberty, enlightenment and freedom. Bolivar became enamoured of the ideals and vision of the American and French revolutions which took part during his lifetime. Later as president of the Gran Colombia, he sought to imitate some of these democratic ideals and create a federation of Latin American states. In 1804, Bolivar was in Paris and witnessed the coronation of Napoleon. Bolivar was impressed and felt that Latin America needed a similar strong leader. When he was 14, his mentor Rodriguez had to flee the country because he was under suspicion of plotting against the Spanish rulers. Bolivar entered a military academy Milicias de Veraguas – where he developed a passion for military strategy. In 1802, whilst he was in Madrid continuing his education, he married Maria Rodriguez. However, shortly after they both returned to Venezuela, she died from yellow fever.

DE LA REZA* Rev. Bras. Polít. Int. 56 (1): 5-21 [2013] Introduction A large number of historians attribute Pan-American designs to the Amphyctionic Congress of Panama.1 One ramification of this assumption consists in making Simón Bolívar’s opposition to US participation dependent solely on specific conditions.2 In most cases, it concentrates on the process surrounding the calling of the Amphyctionic Congress, in particular the invitation strategy of the Vice-President of Gran Colombia, Francisco de Paula Santander, eliminating the importance of prior stages in their function as formative platforms for Bolivarian unionism.3 The other current of historians sustain a different perspective: the confederative project was essentially Latin American.4 * National Researcher, Level III, of Metropolitan Autonomous University of Mexico ([email protected]) 1 This position has been defended by, among others, Lockey (1927), Guerra (1946), Whitaker (1954), Caicedo (1961), Bernstein (1961), Castillo (1972), and Bingham (1976).

Additionally, Peru and Bolivia gained their independence thanks to Bolivar. He was the son of a Venezuelan aristocrat of Spanish descent and hailed from a family that had both wealth and status. Bolivar lost his parents at a young age, his father died when he was three years old and his mother six years later. As a consequence, he was raised by his uncle who hired tutors to educate the boy. One of these tutors was Simon Rodriguez, who was an admirer of the Enlightenment and introduced the young boy to the concepts of liberty and freedom. At the age of 16, Bolivar was sent to Spain to complete his education. It was during this time that he met Maria Rodriguez, the daughter of a Spanish nobleman. The pair got married in and returned to Venezuela in the same year. In Paris, Bolivar met his former tutor Rodriguez, who had been forced to flee Venezuela in on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the yoke of Spanish colonial rule in Latin America. InBolivar returned to Venezuela, and a year later, the independence movement in Latin America was launched.

  • Bolivar Quest for Gl
    310 POLITICAL FAILURL TO POSTMORTEM GLORY In a recent commentary on the Liberator s continuing influence, Larry Rohter {Montreal Gazette, August 8, 2000) asked a simple yet complex ques tion, "Which Bolivar?""There is one Bolivar, for instance, who praised de mocracy as 'the most sacred source' of power, but there is also another who once proclaimed that 'necessity recognizes no laws.' One Bolivar admired George Washington as the ideal 'citizen-hero' who 'fills my bosom with emulation,' while another famously and bitterly remarked that 'the United States seems destined by providence to plague Latin America with misery in the name of liberty.' [Venezuelan President] Chavez describes himself as a disciple of Bolivar, and some of his more ardent followers have gone so far as to suggest he is the'reincarnation of the Liberator.' But his vision of Bolivar is one'very much adapted to his own purposes,' said Jesus Sanoja Hernandez, a prominent political commentator here." Guillermo Moron, a leading Venezuelan historian, pointed up the same contradiction. The Bolivar that Chavez "likes is the one who centralized power," said Moron. "The Bolivar that the opposition likes, in contrast, is the one who respected the law, consulted even his enemies and tried to create an impartial system of justice for all." At different points in his event ful life. Bolivar did indeed act in contradictory, sometimes destructive ways, but he remained ever mindful of his quest for glory. In 1983 UNESCO published a volume that included "Bolivar's Procla mation to the Soldiers of the United Army of Liberation in Pasco on July 29, 1824." He delivered the speech a few days before the decisive battles of Junin and Ayacucho.

  • Adapting the Full-Range Leadership Model to the Study of Political Leaders Across Time and Regime Type: a Case Study of Venezuela
    Adapting the full-range leadership model to the study of political leaders across time and regime type: a case study of Venezuela Natasha Lindfield A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Business May 2018 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Lindfield First name: Natasha Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Business, UNSW ADFA Faculty: N/A Title: Adapting the full-range leadership model to the study of political leaders across time and regime type: a case study of Venezuela Abstract 350 words maximum: The political science discipline lacks a comprehensive model of leadership through which to conduct the systematic analysis of political leaders. This is surprising given the critical impact that political leaders have on all sectors of society. The management discipline, however, has multiple leadership models that could be adapted for the analysis of political leaders. This thesis addresses the absence of a systematic model of leadership in the study of political leaders by modifying the full- range leadership model utilised in management studies. When this model is applied in the realm of political science it facilitates analysis of both different styles of political leadership and the influence of political regime type in enabling or constraining leadership behaviour. This thesis also adopts a defining moments lens to provide focus for data collection. Such a lens has been utilised by other studies of leadership in the private sector. However, its application in political science is undeveloped.
