Download Lookbook 1 HANNAH WARNER JEWELLERY DESIGNER COLLECTION HANNAH WARNER Since the launch of her Debut collection in Autumn 2009, Hannah Warner is fast becoming one of the most talked about, up and coming jewellery designers of a new generation. Initially based in London, where she studied at Wimbledon School of Art and later at London Metropolitan, Hannah then moved to New York, continuing her studies at the prestigious Gemological Institute of America. Hannah now lives between these two spirited cities, drawing on her surroundings as a direct inspiration to her work. “I take a great deal of influence from everything around me in day to day life and also from different cultures, be it the rigidity of man-made structures, architecture, city life or something more organic, natural, evolving.” Hannah is a passionate traveler and this is evident within her work both stylistically and in the precious stones she uses, many of which are hand sourced from India and the far east. Hannah Warner’s escalating success and reputation within the industry is generating considerable interest from both fashion insiders and celebrity clients alike. She is currently working on her next collection as well as various fashion and art collaborations and commissions.

    Viral Politics: Sex Worker Activism and HIV/AIDS Programs from Bangalore to Nairobi By Srigowri Vijayakumar A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Raka Ray, Chair Professor Peter B. Evans Professor Gillian P. Hart Professor Lawrence Cohen Spring 2016 Abstract Viral Politics: Sex Worker Activism and HIV/AIDS Programs from Bangalore to Nairobi By Srigowri Vijayakumar Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Raka Ray, Chair This dissertation studies the international success story of India’s HIV/AIDS response and the activism of sex workers and sexual minorities that produced it. A number of recent ethnographies have turned their attention to the workings of state programs in middle-income countries (e.g. Baiocchi 2005; Sharma 2008; A. Gupta 2012; Auyero 2012), demonstrating both the micro-effects of state strategies for managing poverty on poor people and the ways in which state programs are produced outside the visible boundaries of “the state”—through NGOs and social movement organizations as well as transnational donors and research institutes. Yet, even as state programs are constituted through struggles over resources and representations within and outside the official agencies of the state, states also derive legitimacy from projecting themselves as cohesive rather than disaggregated, and as autonomous from society rather

It describes that part of the film industry with colorful, exaggerated, overly dramatic, music-and-dance-filled characteristics rather than this nation’s entire film making. In contrast to Hollywood, from which it takes its tongue-in-cheek name, Bollywood is no actual place; rather, it is the term that best describes a style of film making. Bollywood style in its broadest meaning is the mass media vehicle for entertainment that feeds some of the amusement needs of a population with a variety of languages and ethnic/caste backgrounds. Themes are simple and predictable for the most part, with a great degree of flexibility in the telling of even the most well known story in order to make a relevant point on a particular issue or current event.

  • By Beryl Oduor CHAPTER ONE
    By Beryl Oduor CHAPTER ONE The silence in the huge library was eerie. The huge shelves cast shadows within the library and the tables were put a distance apart and were covered with books which the previous readers left there. A young woman was trying to put them back in the shelf but there were many different books from slots that she couldn't see whatever progress she was making. Then a deep voice broke the silence as it reverberated within the walls of the library `Wendy!' `Yes sir,' the young woman hurried to him. She was startled as she was very new working at the library. She couldn't even remember to address him the right way but then she remembered that she had addressed him the way he wanted to be addressed. She had been slightly briefed on how to address the kings and queen but Gorham, unlike the others, didn't like being called by his title `Your Majesty'. In fact whenever someone addressed him like that in his personal quarters that person would be immediately transferred to the public areas. Wendy walked over to the table where the middle-aged king had been seated. `Have you seen the Maverick volume seventeen?' he asked looking up at her curiously. `I put it back on the shelf,' she said worriedly then continued, `I'll just get it.' then she was walking away before he said something else. There was a young man who had allocated a seat for himself at the end of the room and was watching the exchange.
