# Alison Hingston Quiggin

Alison Hingston Quiggin (1874—1971) was a British anthropologist at the University of Cambridge and the author of the much reprinted A Survey of Primitive Money: The Beginnings of Currency (London, 1949).

## Education and career

Hingston studied at Newnham College, Cambridge, from 1899 to 1902. She went on to become a lecturer in the Department of Geography at Cambridge University.

## Personal life

As a student she founded the secret Leaving Sunday Dinner Society (LSDS), members of which would on Sunday evenings cook for one another in a rented room off the college grounds, where they could smoke and otherwise ignore college rules. Of the idea that young women at the university were there to find husbands, she later said "We didn't take much interest in the men and they were certainly terrified of us." Later, in 1907, she married the linguist Edmund Crosby Quiggin.

## Publications

A Survey of Primitive Money (first edition 1949) is considered her classic work; she argued that money arose as a tool for tracking and managing debt, not facilitating barter, as sometimes claimed. She also authored Primeval Man: The Stone Age in Western Europe (Macdonald and Evans, 1912), Trade Routes, Trade, and Currency in East Africa (Rhodes-Livingstone Museum, 1949), and was a contributor to the 14th edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica (1929–30).
She also collaborated with Alfred Cort Haddon on his History of Anthropology (London, 1910) and on the revision of Augustus Henry Keane's Man, Past and Present (Cambridge University Press, 1920; first edition 1899), and later wrote his biography, Haddon the Head-Hunter (Cambridge University Press, 1942).

After he got his doctorate he returned to Dison, where he carried on his literary work and also worked as a lawyer. Hardy was editor or assistant editor of several literary journals from 1900 onward, including Rappel de Charleroi, Dépêche de Liège and the Journal de Bruxelles.
In 1931 Hardy received the Grand Prix de Langue française from the French Academy. He was the first Belgian to win the prize, and he won it for his poem "Le Cortège des mois".

# Barbie and the Kens

Barbie and the Kens were a 1980s new wave music project of Bobby Orlando, with one minor college radio hit, "Just a Gigolo", which peaked on the Billboard Club Play charts at No. 45 in 1981. Other hits include "Pay My Bills". Because of a lawsuit threat from Mattel (they threatened to sue because of their name "Barbie and the Kens" when they didn't have permission to legally have the name), they changed the band name into "Malibu", in which they continued to churn out new songs such as "Goin' Cruisin' ". The song appears on 1980s compilations and is still in rotation on retro internet stations such as Club 80s with DJ Bueller.

# Brievengat

Brievengat (Dutch pronunciation:) is a neighbourhood of Willemstad in Curaçao. It is located to the north of the centre of the capital, Willemstad, and to the east of the Hato International Airport.

## Overview

The origin of the name Brievengat (English: Letter hole) is unclear. It was first mentioned in 1708 in a will as the name of a plantation. The ground was very fertile, and the plantation flourished until 1877 when a hurricane destroyed the buildings, and killed about 75% of the animals. In 1924, the terrain was sold to Royal Dutch Shell who in turn sold it in 1954 to the monument trust who restored the buildings. In 1956, construction started of a residential neighbourhood with 1,400 houses on the former plantation grounds.

## Landhuis Brievengat

The estate was built in the 18th century. The kitchen dates from the 19th century. The estate has a rectangular shape with galleries on the front and rear of the building. On the side of the buildings are two towers. The buildings has been designed a monument. The estate is nowadays in use as an entertainment centre.

# Balian–Low theorem

In mathematics, the Balian–Low theorem in Fourier analysis is named for Roger Balian and Francis E. Low. The theorem states that there is no well-localized window function (or Gabor atom) g either in time or frequency for an exact Gabor frame (Riesz Basis).

## Statement

Suppose g is a square-integrable function on the real line, and consider the so-called Gabor system
    $g_{m,n}(x)=e^{2\pi imbx}g(x-na),$
for integers m and n, and a,b>0 satisfying ab=1. The Balian–Low theorem states that if
    $\{g_{m,n}:m,n\in \mathbb {Z} \}$
is an orthonormal basis for the Hilbert space
    $L^{2}(\mathbb {R} ),$
then either
    $\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }x^{2}|g(x)|^{2}\;dx=\infty \quad {\textrm {or}}\quad \int _{-\infty }^{\infty }\xi ^{2}|{\hat {g}}(\xi )|^{2}\;d\xi =\infty .$

## Generalizations

The Balian–Low theorem has been extended to exact Gabor frames.

# Alexander Cameron (pioneer)

Alexander Cameron (18 August 1810 – 1 September 1881) was a pioneering pastoralist in the eastern colonies of Australia, particularly in South Australia, where he was dubbed the "King of Penola".

## History

Cameron was born in Lochaber, Scotland, a son of John Cameron and his wife Margaret, née Fraser, Highland Catholics. He received a good education and worked as a shepherd before embarking for Australia in the Boyne as an assisted migrant.
Cameron joined his uncles droving sheep from Sydney to Port Phillip, then across to South Australia, where in 1840 he was one of the first squatters in the Penola district. In 1845 he successfully applied for the occupation licence on 48 square miles (120 km$^2$) of verdant land, including the site of the future town of Penola. Initially he operated Penola as a cattle and horse station with animals he brought from Victoria, sheep being hard to procure. He had it surveyed into allotments, and built a shanty, a store, and a homestead, which became the "Royal Oak" hotel when he built a new homestead, some distance from town. One of his uncles, "Black Sandy" Alexander Cameron, left Tasmania to live with him, and died on 28 April 1858.
He later owned extensive farming country in Victoria as well. In 1851 he purchased Chirnside's cattle station "Hope's station" at Lake Frome.
In 1860 the young Mary MacKillop took a job as governess of their large family, also assisting with the education of the farmhands' children. Around this time she first came into contact with Julian Tenison-Woods, the parish priest. In 1862 MacKillop accepted a teaching position at Portland, Victoria.
In 1864 he sold Penola station, and retired to Melbourne. A controversy arose as to whether he could sell the Market Square, Allotment 18, which he had transferred to John Bowden.

## Family

Cameron married Margaret MacKillop (died 25 June 1863) in Melbourne on 27 June 1843. They had eleven children, of whom six outlived their parents.
He married again, to Ellen Keogh (c. 1854 – 24 July 1894) in 1867, living in Melbourne at Moreland (often Moorland) House, Coburg, where Cameron died and his remains buried in Melbourne General Cemetery. Seven of the eight children by his second wife outlived him.

## Recognition

A life-size statue of Cameron, by John Dowie, was installed by the Royal Oak Hotel, Penola, paid for by public subscription..

Smith was quoted as saying, "I was in the company of women who wanted to use their gifts to instigate change, to let our humanity be seen and heard despite what others may believe. I know our work is not done and that this collective will continue to bring about healing and work against the grain in other iterations at other institutions. I look forward to continuing to help carry that torch. Black Women Artists for Black Lives Matter has re-instilled in me a belief in our abilities as Black women artists to be nurturing, compassionate, genuine, and powerful by any means necessary."
