Headcanons: Bracelets

I have a lot of Rob hcs written in long posts I consult, this is one of many and given some greater details. Rather than just throwaway accessories to make him appear a white hunter stock character, I’m going to provide some short explanations.

Rob has the two bracelets he always wears on his right hand. One is metal, the other looks like multiple cords. Book Rob left Africa, I HC the same for movie, but that didn't mean he severed ties and friendships. The reality is complex. Rob was born and raised in Kenya and spent the majority of his life in Africa, first as a hunter’s guide, safari guide, and eventually game & park warden. Multiple reasons made him leave, and one was his adventurer’s spirit, new sights and experiences before he’s too old. Political and conservation upheaval in the country also disillusioned him (won’t expound here), but he still has great affection for the land and its peoples.

Copper cuff bangle: Maasai tribe gift, given to him after a lion hunt in the 60s. Robert has good ties to some of them. As far as a people, Rob respects the tribe highly for their strength, calmness, and courageousness. They also have members who think the same of him. The origin of the bangle is unknown, with conflicting stories, depending on who you ask in the tribe: possibly received through trade or crafted by them.

Small bands, elephant hair bracelet: Tradition started by one of his former tracker friends, Chege, a Kikuyu man who now owns a safari business. He gave Rob his first elephant hair bracelet years ago, after Rob intervened during a tour and survived a buffalo attack. Since then, everyone from this friend to most recently his niece has given him a new band when the old one gets worn out. These bracelets are said to bring the wearer good luck and spiritual strength, but also symbolize strength, honor, stability, and patience.

Day 70 – S becomes a Samburu elder

We started the morning once again with Bloody Marys and coffee. This time the coffee was pre-made at J’s request. When we arrived at breakfast, Meg gave S a hard time for keeping Rob out late.

We then headed out on a drive to the river, where we were going to take a river walk. On the way, Paul delivered on his promise and got J great pictures of a family of dik-diks. We also saw a herd of elephants up close. The matriarch thought we got a little too close and gave us a warning. We thought it was a intimidating, but Paul said it was just a little show. We saw a number of other animals.  On our way to the river, Paul picked up a Samburu warrior carrying an AK-47. As we were going to be walking, they wanted to ensure we had some protection if we encountered a rogue elephant. We also stopped along the way so Leuya could make us walking sticks for our bush walk.

Our walk along the river was mostly focused on animal tracks. We saw tracks for a honey badger, porcupine, leopard and crocodiles.

On our way back, we encountered the same herd of elephants. We did not realise that we separated a baby elephant from the herd. However, it soon let us know by running in front of us and trumpeting a warning. His mother then also trumpeted a warning. This was a little bit scary at first but pretty cool in the end. We also passed by some of the Francombes’ cattle. Amongst them was a giant, white bull with enormous, curved horns. He is a Brahman bull, a species that has a hump like a camel to store water. He is apparently a sacred bull, one of only four in Northern Kenya. He apparently has evaded multiple attempts to slaughter and/or steal him. He is viewed as the protector of the herd and after he passes away, his skull and horns will be placed above the entrance to the cattle pen so he can continue to watch over the herd.

When we returned to the lodge, we were informed that S’ hair beading had been arranged. No one was quite sure initially what he wanted, but Paul managed to communicate it to Chyulu, who then organised it. After lunch, we headed off to Ol Malo Lodge, where a Samburu woman in traditional clothing, Catherine, was set up to do the beading. We were told that she would prepare the beads on a string and Leuya would put them in Scott’s hair as he typically does the plaiting / braiding for the young men in his clan. We were also told that Catherine is not allowed to touch S’ hair because he is not her husband.

Chyulu was there to oversee the procedure. The beads are made out of glass and are manufactured at a family factory in the Czech Republic. This is apparently the only manufacturer in the world that knows how to produce perfectly symmetrical beads. We heard the beads are a display of wealth and can almost be used as a form of currency. J picked out the colours for the beads and S was told to sit on a cow hide, as this is the traditional Samburu way of braiding hair. The whole process took a while and Chyulu served us drinks and told us a little bit about her history. Her family are well known conservationists in Africa and have worked in many countries, including Tanzania, Kenya and the DRC. They are still very active in conservation. Chyulu was born in Kenya and her name is derived from the name of some hills in Kenya. It turns out that Chyulu went to the same school in England as our close friends, Zanda and Roly.

Once Catherine had completed stringing the beads, Leuya dipped his hands in a bowl of water and began to braid S’ hair. The beads were then sewn into S’ hair. Chyulu also added in a few shells for good luck and finished each braid off with a few more beads. Chyulu also burned the ends of the bead string with a match to seal them. The process was taking a bit of time and Catherine got frustrated. She ended up taking over from Leuya and Chyulu to complete the job. Apparently as S is an elder and married, she deemed it OK to touch his hair. Everyone loved how it turned out and Ol Malo is now talking about adding it as a possible activity. J also got a custom bracelet sewn on to her wrist and picked up a Maasai wedding cuff and kikoi (a piece of cloth men will use to tie around their waists, torso or heads, depending on the situation). J preferred the kikoi to the women’s attire, which had a busier print. J asked why the kikois we had seen tended to look like Scottish kilts, with primary colours and a plaid print. No one knew why, but we were told that this was the current trend. We also noticed that these kikoi are similar to the Maldivian male traditional dress.

We then went off to visit a local ‘manyatta’ or homestead. This homestead belonged to Leuya’s cousin and his four wives. A number of young Samburu warriors were present and they were engaged in a traditional Samburu jumping contest to impress the girls (some of these guys should consider pursuing a career in the NBA). They then started a dancing ritual, which S and Leuya joined (see picture below).

We visited one of the wives’ mud huts and learned a bit about local customs. Apparently the Samburu diet is primarily meat, cow’s blood and milk / yoghurt. Occasionally they will also get a fruit or vegetable, but not normally. They have chickens but don’t believe in eating the chickens or their eggs and sell them to the market. There were separate pens for the adult and baby livestock, which we found quite interesting. J loved the little children, who were crowding around her to see her phone.

We left the homestead and went for sundowners by a lake. Our car had a weak parking break and nearly rolled into the lake. Paul and Leuya saved it by putting rocks in front of the tires. We saw a few birds and S saw a shooting star among all the other stars. The sky was littered with stars. It was a great opportunity to ask Leuya and Paul more questions about their community.

By now Leuya was one of our best mates. We invited him to dinner, but the dinner was chicken curry and he wouldn’t have been able to eat it. Before we headed down to dinner, S changed into the tie-dyed man dress that he bought in Nairobi. We later learned ‘kanzu’ is the proper Swahili name for the man dress. When we arrived, Paul, Meg, Rob and the server were in shock. S came in with his walking stick, beaded hair and kanzu and declared himself the village elder. Meg also shared pictures of S with the Francombe family and asked S’ permission to use the photos in their marketing materials. S and Paul gave Rob a hard time for being dressed like a city boy. Rob promised to wear a traditional garment the next morning.

The chicken curry was great. J in particular loves their hot sauce and thinks they should sell it. It is made with Scotch bonnet peppers and is slightly sweet. It is served with every meal and goes with everything. We finished the night with Meg and Rob drinking wine and whisky. J took over the Bluetooth speakers and played a lot of country music. Rob was shattered from the two previous nights, so Meg and Rob begged off and left us with a bottle of Rosé and drinks. We enjoyed our final night at Ol Malo and made it safely back to our room.

Is a Extra Beneficiant Society Attainable?

In January 2016, Cathryn Townsend got down to dwell amongst “the loveless folks.” So named by anthropologist Colin Turnbull, the Ik are a tribe of some 11,600 hunter-gatherers and subsistence farmers dwelling in an arid and harsh mountainous area of Uganda. Turnbull studied the Ik within the 1960s and famously characterised them as “inhospitable and customarily imply” in his e-book The Mountain Individuals. He documented how younger kids have been deserted to starve and the way folks would snatch meals from the aged. Townsend, a Rutgers College anthropologist, visited the Ik a long time later to see how a tradition that supposedly lacked fundamental kindness operated. Her curiosity stemmed from an ongoing, multidisciplinary investigation referred to as The Human Generosity Challenge, which examines why and the way human cooperation, within the type of generosity, threads its manner by means of totally different cultures. The challenge started in 2014, by means of a partnership between Lee Cronk, a Rutgers College anthropologist, and Athena Aktipis, a psychologist at Arizona State College. Collectively, the pair wished to analyze the cultural and organic elements behind beneficiant conduct. At present, by means of this challenge, greater than 20 collaborating researchers use an array of instruments, together with financial simulations and laptop modeling, to check altruism and cooperation at 9 area websites. In sure communities, giving to these in want, with no expectation of return, is normalized and anticipated. The challenge researchers have discovered such conduct all over the world, together with amongst herders and hunter-gatherers in East Africa. And findings up to now counsel that such beneficiant societies usually tend to survive throughout troublesome instances. If that sample holds up, classes from The Human Generosity Challenge could possibly be very important because the world faces a large number of unpredictable challenges from the onslaught of local weather change and rising financial inequality. “In the end, it might be good if we might encourage larger ranges of cooperation and better ranges of generosity,” Cronk says. Townsend, a member of the challenge, went to check the Ik to discover a counterexample to beneficiant cultures. She and her colleagues wished to see how an allegedly “egocentric” society operated. However when she arrived, she discovered one thing totally different: Even amongst “the loveless folks,” there was a thriving custom of generosity. Generosity, as Townsend, Cronk, and their colleagues examine it, might be regarded as a type of insurance coverage. In sure communities, when catastrophe strikes, folks spring into motion to assist each other, as if an unwritten contract said: When it’s actually unhealthy, I’ll provide help to since you would assist me in the identical circumstances. The Human Generosity Challenge researchers name this spirit of reciprocal giving “need-based switch.” In August 2017, as Hurricane Harvey deluged Houston, Texas, for instance, an off-the-cuff community of boat homeowners from Louisiana who first emerged throughout Hurricane Katrina greater than a decade earlier streamed into Texas to rescue these trapped within the flood. They name themselves the “Cajun Navy,” and so they, too, dwell in flood-prone areas. Such volunteerism will not be the one manner to answer a disaster. “People have been organizing to handle danger related to damage and sickness since time immemorial,” Aktipis notes. In distinction to need-based switch, many trendy societies provide a market-based various within the type of insurance coverage firms, which assist folks pool danger towards future hazards. Contributors pay right into a community with the presumption that they may have the ability to faucet it if damage, sickness, or catastrophe happens. Aktipis explains that though insurance coverage affords an environment friendly resolution, in that it quickly gathers cash in a single place, it’s not an ideal repair. “Oftentimes doesn’t truly cowl you whenever you want it,” Aktipis says. For example, as wildfires swept by means of California in 2018, some residents found that their owners insurance coverage would now not cowl them as a result of their properties have been too near dry brush. Want-based switch, however, relies on relationships, making it a extra dependable resolution. You care about your neighbors, and so they care about you. “ insures towards the uninsurable,” Aktipis says. Top-of-the-line examples of such giving comes from Maasai herders in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania who're linked by their osotua community. (The phrase osotua means umbilical twine within the Maasai’s language.) If one of many members wants assist, others within the community help her or him by giving livestock or labor, with none expectation of payback. Anthropologist and Human Generosity Challenge researcher Dennis Sonkoi, himself a member of the Maasai, says he didn’t actually admire the protecting energy of osotua till he got here to the USA from Kenya in 2008. On the time, he wished to be taught new useful resource administration methods to safeguard his homeland’s nonetheless largely pristine forests. When he met Cronk and mentioned generosity, nonetheless, he realized Maasai cultural practices, similar to osotua, had possible spared his homeland’s pure sources from growth up to now. It was like a “pin dropping in my ideas,” says Sonkoi. Laptop modeling confirmed what Sonkoi had deduced. Aktipis and her colleagues used an algorithm to check outcomes in three sorts of neighborhood: one utilizing need-based switch, one other during which sharing sources happens with the expectation of compensation (a follow referred to as account retaining), and a 3rd during which there isn't a sharing in any respect. The check was modeled after the Maasai pastoral life-style, which includes sharing cattle. The simulation would randomly generate drought or illness, and the researchers might see how the herds endured in every simulated society. Each types of sharing, the simulation revealed, resulted in higher herd survival than no sharing of cattle. However need-based switch led to extra pooling of sources, longer survival of the herd, and higher wealth equality than account retaining. So far, The Human Generosity Challenge has turned up many examples of need-based switch. In Fiji, for example, prolonged households in villages follow kerekere, the act of sharing sources when requested, with out expectation of short-term compensation. Within the arid and semi-arid U.S. Southwest, ranchers fill in with free labor within the occasion fellow rancher is recovering from sickness or damage. They name this follow “neighboring.” In Central Appalachia, which incorporates among the poorest communities within the U.S., neighbors nonetheless assist one another by offering free labor with out being requested. However Townsend journeyed to Uganda to see a neighborhood with a really totally different status from these altruistic societies that first served as a focus for the challenge. In his e-book, Turnbull painted a dramatic portrait of the Ik, warning within the preface that the reader could be shocked by the tribe and tempted to suppose “how primitive… how savage… how disgusting” and “how inhuman.” (The e-book, by the way, left its mark on the tribe and on Western tradition, inspiring a play in 1975 referred to as The Iks by director Peter Brook and showing in Richard Dawkins’ The Egocentric Gene.) However “loveless” is by no means how Townsend would describe the neighborhood she got here to dwell with in 2016. Amongst a tribe that had been derided as merciless, she discovered notable acts of generosity. For instance, she witnessed how the neighborhood supplied meals for an aged man who lived alone and shared meals with Townsend with out her needing to ask. “They’re actually individuals who have little or no, however the little they do have is stuff that they’re keen to share,” she says. Townsend probes beneficiant conduct among the many Ik utilizing an experiment referred to as the “dictator recreation.” One particular person (the “dictator”) is given the selection to distribute a sum of cash to a different participant. She tweaks the sport to see whether or not numerous elements will have an effect on how a lot the “dictator” provides. Generally, Townsend says, the Ik are “pretty regular” in what they offer away when evaluating them to how members of different societies play the sport. In different phrases, there may be nothing inherently extra beneficiant or egocentric in regards to the Ik. Turnbull, it turned out, had studied the Ik throughout a famine that plagued the area in 1965 and 1966. It was a time neighboring tribe nonetheless calls a “12 months of 1 cup,” in reference to the meager annual rations they acquired from the federal government: one cup of maize per particular person. That interval of the Ik’s historical past revealed that there might be limits to cooperation and generosity. Excessive deprivation could forestall a neighborhood from caring for its personal. However these circumstances can change. The Ik survived and, Townsend discovered, they preserve a tradition of sharing with prolonged households and neighbors in want of meals, shelter, or labor. Among the many much-maligned “loveless folks,” there was a wealthy custom of need-based switch. The Ik’s option to share meals primarily based on want signifies that they've handed the start line for advanced cooperative conduct, Townsend says. When people start to maneuver past probably the most fundamental have to survive, types of cooperation that additional guarantee survival emerge, similar to need-based transfers, commerce, or one thing she calls “demand sharing,” the place profitable members of a society share their surplus by default—a sample akin to taxation. Trying throughout communities, Townsend and different Human Generosity Challenge researchers have concluded that the world will not be divided into beneficiant versus egocentric societies. Fairly, charity and reciprocity are baked into human civilization. It’s the combo of cooperation and risk-pooling methods (similar to account retaining, need-based switch, or market-based insurance coverage) that varies—and it’s possible that societies profit from combining them. Going ahead, The Human Generosity Challenge goals to grasp which approaches are most useful in given circumstances with the intention to inject these ideas into different cultures. “It’s actually about taking these findings and translating them into interventions that may assist construct the social infrastructure for coping with challenges of the longer term, whether or not they’re catastrophe response or useful resource administration,” Aktipis says. Scaling up options might be troublesome. Aktipis has discovered that the larger the society, the tougher it's to detect cheaters in a need-based switch system. Nevertheless, Aktipis writes society’s perception within the supernatural could play a very sturdy function in serving to folks solidify beneficiant conduct. The Maasai, for example, contemplate osotua so sacred that it might be unthinkable to benefit from that bond. Christians within the U.S. could expertise one thing comparable when the gathering plate comes by at church. “I don’t suppose we share or are beneficiant to one another for anyone cause,” says Wesley Allen-Arave, a College of New Mexico anthropologist who will not be affiliated with The Human Generosity Challenge. Allen-Arave interviewed greater than 500 households in the USA about charitable giving and located that whereas folks typically give to assist others in want, they offer way more typically once they have a private relationship with the particular person asking for donations. And Townsend, too, has seen spirituality tip the scales. If she adjusts the dictator recreation to say the kijawikå, earth spirits in whom the Ik consider, the Ik turn into much more beneficiant. They consider the kijawikå will reward the beneficiant and punish the stingy. However she’s additionally noticed an extra, intriguing sample—one which additional nuances our understanding of societies in want. As Townsend was conducting the dictator recreation, she seen that these individuals who had skilled trauma up to now have been extra beneficiant than others who had not. It’s a facet of the Ik she goals to discover with additional analysis. “It appears that evidently is perhaps some form of catalyst for extraordinary beneficiant conduct,” Townsend says. On reflection, it’s ironic that the Ik have been meant to be a first-rate instance of a egocentric society. To today, the Ik barely get by. They face challenges from different tribes and drought, however they keep alive by sticking collectively, in line with Townsend. “The way in which that they cope,” Townsend says, “will not be by being egocentric however by sharing.” Read the full article

Chaumet’s ‘Trésors d'Afrique’ Brings African Vibes to the Pompidou Center

A summer heat wave enveloped Paris during all of Haute Couture earlier this month, but the climate was not out of place as Chaumet launched its new high jewelry collection titled Trésors d’Afrique with a dazzling African-themed soirée at the Centre Georges Pompidou earlier this month.

The “Colorama Chic” dress code on Chaumet’s invitation was freely interpreted by guests dressed in shades ranging from Lily Pulitzer-pink to the dizzying spectrum of Emilio Pucci. The festive theme could just as well have described the African-inspired décor that had transformed the museum’s elegant rooftop restaurant, Georges, into a giant African hut fully upholstered with colorful woven rugs in an homage to the hues and cultures of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Abuzz with the sounds of an African band and a star-studded guest list that included Natalia Vodianova, Naomi Campbell, Bérénice Bejo, and Liya Kebede, the museum itself had taken the opportunity to show—in a separate space open to the revelers—a curated selection of some 20 masterpieces from its own permanent collection. Karel Appel’s Vragende Kinderen (Questioning Children) from 1948 and Pablo Picasso’s 1956 Women at the Sea, among other striking artworks, made a winning argument for the influence of African art on Western artists.

Throughout the evening, a few treasures from Chaumet’s new high jewelry lines were paraded on statuesque models, a teaser for the complete collection that debuted on July 7 and 8 at Chaumet’s historic boutique located at 12 Place Vendôme, now open to public for the first time (by appointment).

Trésors d’Afrique is the third chapter of a precious jeweled saga titled “Les Mondes de Chaumet” that began with Promenades Impériales in Russia and continued with Chant du Printemps in Japan. This time, the French jeweler has paid tribute to the varied artistic and ornamental traditions of Africa through some 75 pieces of high jewelry that use mainly black onyx, red lacquers, and Grand Feu enameling techniques to add warmth to precious stones. The masterful works evoke the influence of sources as diverse as Maasai textiles and tribal ornamentation, not to mention the creations of the Maison Chaumet and the fertile imagination of its creative director, Claire Dévé-Rakoff.

Particularly refined is the Cascade Royale necklace, which sets black onyx against white and yellow gold in a piece that is positively dripping with nine marquise-cut diamonds and a 7.15 carat emerald from Colombia’s Muzo mines as a centerpiece. The striking collection of jeweled cuffs called Talismania bracelets, available in ebony, malachite, and chrysoprase, channel the serenity of the endless plains of the Serengeti, while also revisiting the ancestral woodcarving techniques of the Maison Chaumet.

The Kenyan-born graphic designer and “pointillist” artist Evans Mbugua, 38, designed the Bestiaire en Folie line of the collection in a first-time collaboration with the Maison Chaumet.

“As the jeweler of empresses and a maker of tiaras, the Maison found much in common with the supremely sophisticated headdresses and diadems from Africa,” read a statement from Chaumet. “Another key factor was our meeting with Evans whose work has enriched our creative references.”

Mbugua brought his signature contemporary artistic touch to the splendidly amusing set of six Espiègleries brooches, adding a rare touch of humor to high jewelry. His enameled giraffe brooch raises its diamond-studded head above a suspended cloud of rock crystal. A yellow-gold monkey clutching bananas hitches a ride on the back of an enameled zebra with pink sapphire and onyx stripes. The most jaw-dropping piece yet is a brooch that transforms into earrings featuring yellow-gold “acrobatic” ants loaded with spheres of sapphires and red spinels, precariously hanging from a lapis lazuli twig.

“I set off to tell funny, fictitious stories in drawings that were then transposed onto the jewelry pieces,” Mbugua told artnet News in a private tour of the collection.

The designer, who lives and works in Paris, worked in advertising before devoting himself to art. He was introduced to the Chaumet teams while showing his work in a group art exhibition outside of Paris. “The collaboration with Chaumet opened my eyes to the universe of stone setters whose work is very close to my own,” he said.

Of his work, he explained, “I apply oil painting using a technique that I invented, to place dots of color in different sizes on a support that is often transparent, to play with the perception of images and depths.”

Mbugua also designed the dials of six one-of-a-kind mechanical timepieces that use métiers d’art craftsmanship to reproduce, in miniature painting and hand engraving techniques, a new repertory of fauna that includes frogs, crocodiles, and serpents in lieu of Chaumet’s traditional bees and butterflies.

Chaumet’s tribute to a multifaceted Africa not only highlights the rich influences that the Maison is able to translate into its designs, but is also an eye-opening window onto the unexplored possibilities of high jewelry.
