India's Bihar Province Women Launch Assault On Alcohol With Dramatic Wins For Families
Bihar is a state in East India, bordering Nepal. It is divided by the River Ganges, which floods its fertile plains. Important Buddhist pilgrimage sites include the Bodhi Tree in Bodhgaya's Mahabodhi Temple, under which the Buddha allegedly meditated. In the state capital Patna, Mahavir Mandir temple is revered by Hindus, while Sikhs worship at the domed, riverside Gurdwara of Takht Sri Harmandir Sahib Ji.
It's easy to conjure up images of women taking their drunk-husband lives into their own hands in the image of Carry Nation, the temperance advocate who attacked saloons in America, hatchet in hand.
But the reality of everyday life in Bihar state province is that the majority of per capita income of $600 a year is routinely spent on alcohol, rather than to advance impoverished families.

'Peter Lindbergh: From Fashion to Reality' opens at the Kunsthalle Munich on April 13, and will be on view until August 27, 2017. The iconic is also one subject of the exhibition “Woman on Street,” along with Garry Winogrand, at the NRW Forum in Dusseldorf, on view until April 30, 2017.
"I think Selfies are actually the most stupid thing ever," Lindbergh said on Tuesday in Munich before the opening of the exhibition "Peter Lindbergh: From Fashion To Reality" in the Kunsthalle. For example, if you want to make a Selfie with a star, you need to clarify what that means about your self-esteem: "This means that you look at yourself as smaller than that person."
Lindbergh, who is known for his cinematic images, also denounced the portrayal of women in the media: "It has now gone to the dog, as women look in magazines," he said - and this is due to image processing programs like Photoshop, which could erase all references to a lived life. "You can reduce every human being to zero." Beauty means something quite different to the photographer: "If you have the courage to be yourself, then you are beautiful." The task of a fashion photographer is to show exactly this beauty. "Even fashion photographers have a form of responsibility," Lindbergh said, explaining that they may not be regarded as artists but they are highly influential in images of women and also how women see ourselves. via

The 'Fearless Girl' vs 'Charging Bull' Faceoff Is About Far More Than Women In US Boardrooms
Oh wait!! The mayor tweeted: "Men who don't like women taking up space are exactly why we need the 'Fearless Girl'.
That blast surely got the Arturo di Modica's attention, especially with the Charging Bull artist adamant that he is not sexist and neither is his bull. Perhaps for di Modica; nada for the bull. Christina Cauterucci writes for Slate today that until 'A Fearless Girl' faced off against 'Charging Bull', the sculpture was an "encouraging representation of a booming economy. Now, charging toward a tiny human, it’s a stand-in for the gendered forces that work against women’s success in the workplace. "
I'm not one to quote a woman's age, but Cauterucci got her journalism degree in 2013. That makes her about 15 years old in the midst of America's major financial crisis in 2007/2008. It makes her ready to graduate from high school in the birth of the Occupy Wall Street movement that began on September 17, 2011, in Zuccotti Park, located in New York City's Wall Street financial district.
No symbol of Wall Street was more directly tied to the Occupy Wall Street movement -- so much so that it was protected for well over a year by the NYPD, wrote the New York Times in September 2012. For those who believe Occupy accomplished nothing in its core arguments, I refer you to the recent Democratic presidential party between Sanders and Clinton -- and the presidential election itself.
'A Fearless Girl' stands for far more than making more women executives in business. In the minds of many, 'A Fearless Girl' is a moral symbol of standing up for the little people as America becomes an increasingly story of the very rich and the rest of us. As defined by Princeton University prof Martin Gilens and Northwestern University prof Benjamin I Page is no longer a democracy and is increasingly an oligarchy.
Anne of Carversville has written about 'Charging Bull' for years, and always within the context of raging testosterone untempered by estrogen.
