Pinheiro an associate professor of health services research in medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine has been named a Cancer Moonshot Scholar by the National Cancer Institute Pinheiro’s research program is focused on reducing health inequities for adults with cancer seeks to increase the number of early-stage investigators and enhance the diversity of the cancer research workforce to accelerate the fight against cancer Pinheiro’s research program to investigate drivers of cancer health inequities and the role that social determinants of health the non-medical conditions where we live and work that can affect health outcomes play in cardiovascular outcomes in Black and white cancer survivors The goal of this work is to generate evidence to inform interventions designed to eliminate racial health inequities and improve outcomes “I’m very excited for this unique opportunity to leverage cardiovascular and cancer data to determine how social determinants of health such as structural racism affect health outcomes,” she said “I’ve been working in health equity research for some time but this award represents a shift in my work It will allow me to support a team of scientists to identify upstream structural factors that can affect how cancer survivors engage with the health care system which can impact their cardiovascular health I’m incredibly passionate about this work.” Among individuals who survive five years from a cancer diagnosis cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death Black adults with cancer have twice the risk of poor cardiovascular disease outcomes compared with white adults with cancer Pinheiro hypothesized that structural determinants of health are partially responsible for this observed racial disparity Pinheiro’s work will focus on understanding underlying mechanisms of multiple domains of structural racism including unemployment uninsurance and economic conditions on cardiovascular outcomes She will also investigate how these upstream structural factors work through cancer biologic characteristics health behaviors and psychosocial well-being Pinheiro and her team will use the World Health Organization’s Commission on Social Determinants of Health framework to investigate relationships between social determinants of health and cardiovascular outcomes in Black and white cancer survivors They will also leverage epidemiologic data from REGARDS national cohort study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health that enrolled 30,239 Black and white participants from the continental United States between 2003-2007 to understand why Southerners and Black Americans have higher rates of stroke and related diseases that affect brain health Pinheiro will link REGARDS data with 48 cancer registries from across the nation to further elucidate the role of social determinants of health on the long-term cardiovascular outcomes among a Black and white community-based cohort of nearly 8,000 male and female adults with cancer “We have shown that having at least one adverse social determinant of health increases one’s risk of cancer mortality and Black people are more likely to have at least two social determinants of health than white people Our goal is to generate new evidence to inform interventions designed to eliminate racial disparities in cardiovascular outcomes during cancer survivorship to reduce health inequity and improve outcomes,” Dr “I am thrilled to be named a Cancer Moonshot Scholar “I couldn’t have done it without my co-investigators on this grant application.” Back to News This debate over who wins and who loses from tariffs is not new arguing about tariffs has a long American pedigree dating back to the administration of the first president There are three important lessons we can learn from this early American tariff debate The first and most important lesson is that each system proposed in the 1790s like all centralized systems of industrial policy and tariffs allowed government to choose winners and losers at a time when some form of mercantilism was still the default position for nearly all Americans Americans would like to believe that the most contentious moral and political issue in the United States before the Civil War was slavery slavery often took a backseat to questions that we tend to overlook today The most contentious issue in early America especially a protective tariff designed not to raise revenue but to discourage foreign trade altogether Why did tariffs arouse such strong opinions we need to look at the major tariff debates in the early American republic. The first such debate between the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans during the 1790s set many of the terms for the later debates occasioned by Henry Clay’s “American System” during the populist Age of Jackson as well as the high tariffs implemented by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War What the tariff fight of the 1790s reveals is not the clash of free market liberalism vs no one in the late 1700s promoted total free trade—but rather the clash of two different industrial policies each of which wanted to grant the US Government coercive power over the marketplace When Alexander Hamilton became the first Secretary of the Treasury Great Britain was the most commercially advanced nation in Europe Hamilton admired many elements of his former enemy’s centralized financial system were geared toward encouraging commerce because they benefited merchants The flipside of this was that protective tariffs harmed the permanent landed elite to which men like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison belonged Hamilton openly claimed his system would mean that one’s status would derive from one’s abilities Madison and Hamilton began as strong nationalists at the Constitutional Convention who believed in substantial government regulation yet there was a key difference between them. While Hamilton saw a commercial America with no limits to future power and prosperity Madison feared that too much economic development and prosperity would rob Americans of their civic virtue Hamilton hoped his system of tariffs and subsidies would lead to a fruitful division of labor within the United States enabling Americans to compete internationally and encouraging more trade while strengthening American industries wanted to end trade with America’s greatest trading partner in a way that would inevitably harm the fledgling industries favored by Hamilton while benefiting the Plantations that relied on slaves and the yeoman majority who were too virtuous to buy foreign goods aimed to limit the scope of industry while at the same time encouraging household production on a small scale. To Madison success required discriminating against British trade preventing the growth of American industries that might replace foreign imports and somehow still opening overseas markets to American agricultural produce As Jefferson had said in his Notes on the State of Virginia “Let our workshops remain in Europe. It is better to carry provisions and materials to workmen there than bring them to the provisions and materials and with them their manners and principles.” The “mobs” of Europe Jefferson compared to “sores” on the body industrial society would eat out the constitution like cancerous lesions on a body.  Peaceful territorial expansion was the key to the Jeffersonian vision since it was predicated not only on the belief in the yeoman farmer’s singular virtue but also needed an overseas trade that only the slave-owning Planters could deliver An added benefit was its limiting the size of the US government This is why Jefferson bought Louisiana as president intentionally adding to the “tyranny of distance,” hoping to ensure a decentralized agrarian republic by default regardless of later centralizing tendencies by the Hamiltonian faction Jefferson and Madison had their own idea for a centralized industrial policy The main difference from Hamilton’s was that theirs favored Southern Planters rather than New England industrialists Hamilton was misguided in his emphasis on the need for a strong centralized government to guide economic development and he was wrong that protective tariffs promote prosperity In 1789, two years before Hamilton submitted his “Report on the Subject of Manufactures” to Congress Madison on the floor of the House proposed commercial restrictions. Madison relied not on protective tariffs but rather a system of “commercial discrimination” that he claimed would favor friendly nations while engaging in retaliation against those that restricted American trade The latter was aimed specifically at Great Britain Madison admitted his system would require “small local sacrifices” in order to “obtain a great general good.” But he could not bear the thought of Great Britain being “put on the footing of the most favd Nations,” because he thought this would leave the United States a financial colony of its former ruler. In this sense we might describe Madison’s system as intensely concerned with national security He claimed he wanted to prevent a continued British monopoly on American trade and it is clear that Madison had another major goal: enhancing the livelihood of America’s only real exporters at the time Madison called his system reciprocal discrimination Just like Hamilton’s system promised to benefit the fast-industrializing Northeast Madison’s would benefit the planters of states like Virginia Madison also hoped to cut trade with Britain permanently “A suspension of intercourse would have its advantages,” he told Jefferson. “The United States would suffer but little.” Sure American citizens would then be unable to import luxuries from Europe thought this would be a good thing for republican virtue among the yeomanry Only “the manufacturing party” desired European goods. Virtuous Americans did not The idea that status-conscious plantation owners like Madison and Jefferson did not need luxuries is laughable especially when compared to New Englanders like John Adams who lived lives comparable to Cato the Elder when it came to simplicity. But Madison apparently thought he knew best concerning what the non-slaveholding majority needed to remain virtuous Despite how many historians have portrayed the Hamiltonian-Jeffersonian feud, in many ways, Hamilton’s 1791 “Report on Manufactures” was in fact a response to and not a cause of this Virginia system of commercial discrimination. The great historian Forrest McDonald was very hard on Madison and Jefferson’s political economy: “This was pie-in-the-sky political economy based on abstract theory and a lack of understanding of the British economy Madison fought Hamilton’s entire program on the grounds that it would favor the wealthy concentrate power in the national government When he and Jefferson warned of inequality would result in class warfare and instability like in Europe and thereby benefited even the white yeoman majority wrongly convincing itself that the British would support their cause because English textile mills required American cotton (which totaled around 65 percent of American exports by 1860). What happened instead was that the British looked to their empire and to Egypt for cotton and never really looked back leaving American cotton prices in the dumps for the rest of the nineteenth century As for Madison’s “pie-in-the-sky political economy,” McDonald points out “it gained many adherents.” Americans liked it Jefferson and his Democratic-Republican Party won huge in 1800 making John Adams a one-term Federalist president and inaugurating forty years of Republican-Democratic presidents interrupted only by another one-term New Englander in lauding the multitude of benefits that come with a commercial society under the rule of law. Madison did not understand how international trade worked and seemed oblivious to how similar his system of “commercial discrimination” was to Hamilton’s tariff plans each man proposed a regime that would see the US Congress choosing winners and losers in an illiberal game of favoritism open to substantial corruption even as each also couched his policy in the high-minded rhetoric of the public good By the time the next round of tariff battles emerged in the populist Age of Jackson the tariff debates would remain partisan but also take on a decidedly sectional character Milton Friedman once pointed out that “it’s often argued that the reason we have bad economic policy is because the experts disagree,” leaving policymakers adrift “The case of free trade and the tariff is a clear counter example,” said Friedman “Here is one case where economists have all agreed or essentially so.” And yet here we are debating tariffs lived when most people still swam in mercantilist waters Tariffs are not just economically bad but also suppress those virtues produced by and necessary to a free commercial society while encouraging the vices of corruption and cronyism Our newsletters highlight and offer a

Serene. Perfect. These are the three words Monique Snoeijen always has in mind when she thinks or talks about her new hospitality project in southern Portugal, Quinta do Pinheiro They’re decorated in a way that feels abundant yet elemental with a grand sense of scale and a thousand small details that make it feel like a home was in the process of restoring another house in the eastern Algarve when the two met They used that as a vacation home for a while they realized it would eventually be too small for the families of the five children they had between them They began looking for a larger investment The kitchen and dining room of a house at Quinta do Pinheiro “Our manager found this place and we went there,” she says “We immediately fell in love because it was already very beautiful And also the former owners had left everything behind.” They made an offer within two days And while the plan had been to keep it for the family—as is so often the case with such things—their enthusiasm led to an expansion of their vision we raised our ambitions and goals with every day The previous owner was a Portuguese colonel who kept the place in good repair and was an avid collector The two married on the estate a couple of years ago with a long table set for 140 people on the terrace and the Gypsy Kings playing at the party They brought in one of the country’s leading architects “We took Frederico with us to ask for his opinion,” says Snoeijen “And I remember so vividly that he was walking around and he was just saying It's fantastic.’” They managed to enhance and preserve rather than creating something foreign and new and much of the family’s furniture was usable “You had the impression that time had stood still.” They found lots of antique agricultural tools around the grounds and old kitchen implements beside the outdoor bread oven in what’s now Casa Grande the largest of the accommodations (about 1,500 square feet) The colonel’s other collections included old schoolroom maps a museum’s worth of vintage toys in what’s now the yoga studio all written in script—in the houses’ kitchens An assemblage of watering cans and 153 heavy keys hangs on a wall in Casa da Avó (“grandma’s house”) those keys were once functional but are now simply beautiful “We kept the small things because they make a big difference,” says their manager The rooftop of Casa Grande became a sundeck Window frames and doors were painted red in the regional vernacular The antique-style floors are made of terra-cotta Santa Catarina tiles—heated underneath in some places—laid in a labor-intensive technique that’s becoming increasingly rare especially for the times that they host yoga or art retreats or intimate weddings (only those much smaller than their own) Well-known Amsterdam-based chef Ben van Geelen will be in residence cooking Algarve-inspired dishes for guests of the estate The couple has already bought more land around them including a hill full of pine trees (“pinheiros”) with a few small houses and an old winery They’re building a deck for yoga —their resident teacher is excellent—or relaxing around a grove of huge ancient pines they’re keeping their interventions to a minimum “It’s so beautiful by itself,” says Snoeijen We're not the type of project developers who want to put up as many houses as possible In a rare lateral move from Pinheiro Neto Advogados partner Sérgio Pinheiro Marçal has left the Brazilian Elite firm after 40 years to join litigation boutique Almeida & Marçal Advogados while an associate from fellow Elite firm Lefosse has also joined as partner expert analysis and essential resources from the Latin Lawyer experts Copyright © Law Business ResearchCompany Number: 03281866 VAT: GB 160 7529 10 These firms have professional notices in the Latin Lawyer 250 Get more from LLSign up to our daily email alert Unlock unlimited access to all Latin Lawyer content Thanks for visiting Brazilian Alpine skier says 'it's an honour to be compared to Ronaldo'The Brazilian-Norwegian is donning the South American colours at the World Championships for the first time: "For me it's a representation of a bigger mission than medals and trophies," he told Olympics.com It was the giant slalom in Beaver Creek, USA where Braathen first made the podium under the Brazilian flag back in December, finishing second, and the 24-year-old went on to place second and third in the slalom at Adelboden and Kitzbuehel respectively in January.

"[But] what matters is that you are what makes you and creating that feeling of success is success for me." "I was in a group of kids from everywhere," he remembers of the ski lesson group he was in. "And it was the first time I felt that I couldn't say 'I'm wrong' or 'I'm weird' ... because you're weird too! Your dialect is different, too, you know? It was the first time I felt like that. "I told my father, 'This is the life I want. I love this life.'" Lucas Pinheiro Braathen: Top facts you might not know about Brazil's skiing starFrom bold outfits to his love for music and travel get to know the charismatic skier striving to make history for Brazil To be clear: Lucas Braathen isn't new to the World Cup scene. Having split his childhood between Brazil and Norway, he competed for Norway on the international scene from 2019 to 2023, landing on 18 World Cup podiums - including five wins - and qualifying for the Beijing 2022 Olympics "Imagine you're competing in a snow sport and you're in the mountains in Austria all of those places and there's a guy with the Brazilian flag next to his name," Braathen explained having said a big part of his comeback was to inspire more Brazilians to take on winter sports that is representation," he continued "[It's a] representation of what I'm doing and maybe I can help bring about a change for a new generation Maybe I can bring a new sport for Brazil." "I told him that I'm a Brazilian skier and he didn't believe anything I said.. I'm a professional skier at the World Cup "Gabriel is an idol of mine, too," Lucas said. "Wow! His performance during Paris? It was crazy." (Medina captured the bronze medal.) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lucas Pinheiro Braathen (@pinheiiiroo) Braathen's breaking-into-samba moment at the Beaver Creek World Cup was a moment that wasn't staged or planned With his shift to representing Brazil on the slopes Braathen has sought to breathe a new kind of energy into a sport that is often dominated - especially on the men's side - by Europeans "It's the difference between us athletes [as people] that makes it interesting I want to be an encourager of showing your differences and showing your personality And I feel as though that is my role within this industry and I'm happy to take on that task." It takes Braathen back to being nine years old on the ski hill you're half Norwegian and you're half Brazilian; it's two different worlds," he explained in Portuguese (He says he's still working on his Portuguese grammar.) she loves dancing and we always had the music at home "It was something I always tried to bring home to Norway I guess that's just me: I am very happy that I have both sides." Braathen says his favourite of music is bossa nova a style of samba that originated in Rio de Janeiro and is more relaxed And while he sometimes has that in his headphones atop the mountain at a World Cup startline "I'm going to use bossa nova for [relaxing] when I'm not feeling very connected and present techno or electronic music to help me like that.. "It's totally different from each competition "The clear thing is that I was there before the start I still have a very strong connection inside that song and that dance to the slopes with me." Braathen has proved himself at the top of the sport as mentioned by those 18 World Cup podiums His consistency was so strong after the 2022 Olympics that he topped the World Cup season for Slalom - placing fourth in the overall too: Braathen did not finish (DNF) either Slalom or the GS With an eye on the podium at Milano Cortina 2026 he'd look to become Brazil's first medallist at a Winter Games - ever no South American athlete has ever won a Winter Olympic medal "[I want to] show the world that we can do everything that Brazilians have opportunities to create every success in this world," he said "I think that's the coolest thing about this: I think [I can be] a representation that anything is possible "And I think I have an opportunity now to show the world that we can really win [an Olympic medal] in winter sports he added with a laugh: "We don't have snow ANDORRA: Lucas Braathen of Team Norway wins the globe in the overall standings during the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup Finals Men's Slalom on March 19 (Photo by Alain Grosclaude/Agence Zoom/Getty Images) While white generals are often at the center of Civil War archival research Black Civil War veterans and their families remain largely overlooked Furman University (S.C.) Assistant Professor of History Holly Pinheiro discussed his new book “The Families’ Civil War: Black Soldiers and the Fight for Racial Justice,” during a colloquium at Emory University’s Robert W In the book, Pinheiro paints an image of Black Civil War soldiers’ lives to argue that their hardships are linked to their military service. Emory’s James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference (JWJI) organized the talk as part of the Race and Difference Colloquium Series which focuses on race in academic research Pinheiro’s research delves into the lives of soldiers in the third sixth and eighth regiments of United States Colored Troops (USCT) from Philadelphia from 1850 to the 1930s pension records and military records to explore how war impacted Black veterans Pinheiro researched how Civil War military service affected soldiers’ families finding they were often left burdened with financial struggles while grieving the losses of fathers and sons.  “The mobilization of hundreds of thousands of able-bodied African American men into the service devastated these families left behind,” Pinheiro said “Some of these families were left to grieve and struggle economically after their male kin died in service.” While academia lauds figures like Frederick Douglass and Henry Highland Garnet who advocated for the enlistment of USCT as a means to fight for racial equality and Black agency Pinheiro articulated this scholarship does not do justice to the lives of these veterans Pinheiro highlighted the harsh economic and social realities of many soldiers and their families through the story of a Philadelphia-born man named Andrew Andrew enlisted in the USCT but was denied his enlistment bonus and soon died from injuries he sustained in battle only Andrew’s mother Sarah applied for a pension which amounted to Andrew’s pre-war salary of $8 per month and his $100 enlistment bonus “Historian Larry Logue argues that pensions were meant to only supplement an individual not an entire family’s income,” Pinheiro said “Members of Sarah’s local community … stated that throughout the late 19th century that Sarah frequently depended on the kindness of her neighbors to survive Experiences like Andrew and his family’s reflect Pinheiro’s research painting a bleaker picture of USCT military service than dominant historical narratives JWJI Director and Associate Professor of Political Science Andra Gillespie noted that the colloquium series focuses on research representing “the best of scholarship” relating to race in the United States.  “The idea is to be broad and to show folks the variety of work that’s being done on issues related to race and difference across many different disciplinary perspectives,” Gillespie said Gillespie chooses the JWJI speakers based on their completion of new academic work — to her the challenge is to not rehash widely-established knowledge “It could be that there’s some new information that’s been unearthed that we need to process perspectives that have not yet been considered,” Gillespie said JWJI Postdoctoral Fellow Rosa O’Connor Acevedo discussed how Pinheiro’s research reflects the importance of representing untold stories in her own studies of philosophy and race “I really like this effort of recovering a lot of this history that has been silenced,” Acevedo said “Not only recovering the history but humanizing the people and telling the story of those people and why it matters Pinheiro’s passion for researching the lived experience of America’s first Black veterans stemmed from his upbringing in a military family When recounting stories of denied pensions unconstitutional investigations and personal loss Pinheiro expressed his own connection to his research I didn’t know if she was going to be alive,” Pinheiro said “I think about my grandmother crying at that dinner table those descendants and those military people Pinheiro ended the talk by sharing a heartfelt comment from one of his students that resonated with his goal to research beyond dominant narratives and magnify overlooked history “One of my students said doing history and understanding these and other people’s realities makes her feel safe,” Pinheiro said we are disrespecting all of their and our sacrifices.” We have the address for the funeral home & the family on file If you're not happy with your card we'll send a replacement or refund your money Janice Cerenia Pinheiro, 57, of Chattanooga, passed away Thursday, September 26 2024, in a local nursing home.

first athlete from the Southern Hemisphere to win a Winter Olympic medal by taking Slalom silver in Albertville Coberger came desperately close to securing the 1992-93 Slalom World Cup but Vreni Schneider won the last two races in Sweden to snatch the title by just six points The first skier from the Southern Hemisphere to make a World Cup podium was Malcolm Milne of Australia Milne was 21 when he took the Val d’Isère Downhill in December 1969 making him the first non-European winner of a men’s World Cup Downhill He followed that up by taking bronze behind Bernhard Russi at the World Championships in Val Gardena two months later Manfred Grabler was the next Australian to make a World Cup podium In the Zell Am See Downhill in his birth country of Austria in December 1973 Grabler was in a three-way tie for third place Milne played his part in Australia’s second World Cup triumph when Steve Lee shared first place in the 1985 Furano Super G with Switzerland’s Daniel Mahrer Milne

It's been exciting. It's been intimidating. It's been nerve-wracking, but exciting. It's been everything,” he recently told Olympics.com during the Atomic Media Day near Salzburg. Braathen's gap year was packed with adventure, from exploring European capitals and cycling through Bordeaux’s vineyards, to unwinding in Ibiza and embracing the vibrant Brazilian lifestyle in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. “It's been a year filled with so many different impressions and experiences, and me allowing myself to explore who I am, my other interests and curiosities outside of the sport of skiing, on a pursuit to find out where my next platform is to make my difference," he told us. "And it has led me back to this beautiful sport, but on my own terms and with a freedom that will allow me to make the difference that I seek,” he said, pondering each word. Lucas Pinheiro Braathen: This is my missionThe 24-year-old alpine skiing star returns to the White Circus after a year off, now representing the colours of Brazil: "I want to be an encourager of showing your difference and showing your personality. And I feel that is my role within this industry and I'm happy to take on that task," the Norway-born star told Olympics.com in this exclusive interview ahead of the 2024/25 World Cup season. When he announced his return to the sport under the flag of Brazil, his mother Alessandra's home nation, the Norwegian-born skier had a clear goal in mind: “We're all here on a mission, but we're all on different missions. Mine just happened to be that. I want to inspire others to dare to follow their dream, whatever that is.” Braathen, in particular, is eager to shake up an environment sometimes perceived as too conservative and traditional: “I think sports and the beauty of sports is its diversity. It's the difference between us athletes that makes it interesting. If we were all just as good skiers and we all look the same and we all talked in the same way, then would you ever watch a ski race? No, you probably wouldn't. There would be no excitement,” he explained. During his short career, the skier has never been afraid to show his personality, often sporting colourful fingernails and wearing non-mainstream ski clothing: “I want to be an encourager of showing your difference and showing your personality. And I feel as though that is my role within this industry and I'm happy to take on that task.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Esquire Italia (@esquireitalia) The 2023 Slalom World Cup winner left Norway to represent a South American country that has never won a medal in Winter Olympic history “I find it beautiful that you are the outcast,” he shared "The fact that I am bringing the Brazilian flag to World Cup ski racing a sport this amazing country has yet to be represented in feels like a true representation of my mission of creating a difference “I just hope that there are some kids out there who feel inspired to dare to follow their dream no matter what they look like or where they're from or whatever their friends at school or their parents at home think Your dream is yours to pursue and no one should take that away from you.” The young Norwegian alpine skier unveils his recipe for success: "It's to set clear goals it's to set a time and date where that goal can be achieved That'll increase the possibility of yourself making it happen," the 21-year-old said Watch for more of this exclusive interview with Braathen While he admitted he will miss 'the constant sparring' with his former teammates Braathen believes that was the 'sort of price' he had to pay to go in the direction he chose to follow “I am so happy to have such professional individuals in each of their different respective roles in my task of creating a team that can win ski races again I've tried to create a community of people that has a team approach,” Braathen said “And that allows for people to have different opinions and different approaches and beliefs that that is also the success factor.” The constant influence will continue to be his father who will oversee the team's overall structure: “He’s the only one that during all these years has just stuck by my side and is the only one that has seen what this has truly cost and meant for me So I wouldn't be able to do this without him.” "My father has been the only one that has believed in my crazy dream as a kid And he's the only one that he called me crazy the first time I said it And then he never said it ever again." - Lucas Pinheiro Braathen the Italian ski legend reflects on his career and shares a message of encouragement for the organisers and volunteers of the next Olympic Winter Games in Italy: 'I'm counting on you Ahead of his World Cup debut as a Brazilian skier Braathen has established a new strategic base in Milan a city that enables him to easily access any airport in the world while pursuing his interests in design and fashion: “I love Italy I think will work in my favour,” he explained I think just being based and feeling where the Olympics takes place literally my home I think can contribute into increasing my chances of success.” what matters most to him is having finally found his 'own path,' where ski racing won’t prevent him from exploring other passions: “What is now different is that I can merge my two biggest platforms or playgrounds in life like I can merge my creative self and my athlete self and I can create these projects where I can merge the two and hopefully create something that has yet to exist,” he shared “And I think it is such a privilege to be able to sit here and practice the profession that I most want to whilst being able to remain with my purpose That's not a privilege just as an athlete Now 5-for-9 through his first three appearances Texas – Between the tour’s young stars and long-established veterans PBR has established its thunder and lightning for the 2025 Unleash The Beast campaign for the most part.However that won’t stop a grinding rookie talent like Vinicius Pinheiro Correa from embracing the premier series storm as he takes first trip around the top-tier circuit. Sure he spent a majority of the 2024 calendar year improving his game within PBR Brazil competition.But since stepping foot in the United States for the first time this past fall after qualifying for the 2024 Challenger Series Championship in Las Vegas he’s been proving that he belongs stateside.Competing against Coming into this weekend’s PBR Chicago showdown the Brazilian already has five conversions to his name despite attempting just nine bulls at the premier series level.A 5-for-9 record on the season may not seem like the flashiest of records riders are on the right side of the cut equation when they’re roughly knocking down half of their bulls. And when you consider the skilled cowboy pieced together said record over the course of his first three career UTB appearances Throw out his 0-for-2 effort in Albany and the Brazilian is 5-for-7 across just two regular season showcases able to initially log a fifth-place result (going 2-for-3 overall) during his UTB debut in Manchester before following it up with a career-best No 4 finish last weekend in New York City.One of four cowboys to go 3-for-4 inside Madison Square Garden the Brazilian nearly logged his first-ever podium finish as he was just .25 points from tying Keyshawn Whitehorse for the third-place honors RELATED: Where to Watch: ChicagoAccepting a 78.25-pointer in Round 1 may have put him a bit behind the eight ball to kick off the weekend but as they say in other sporting circles it’s rarely wise to take points off the board. Knowing that attempt was just his sixth premier series attempt to his name likely also played into the veteran’s decision to keep the score Momentum is momentum after all. The determined cowboy progressively picked up his scores throughout the weekend including an 82.75-point ride aboard Don’t Come Easy in Round 2 and an 86.25-point effort during his career-first short round conversion atop Sly en route to becoming the first rider on the board at 3-for-3 13 Hudson Bolton by a mere 42.5 points in the 2025 PBR Rookie of the Year race he’s positioning himself to make a run for the first-year honors which would represent the third-consecutive year that Brazilian riders have earned the award (with Cassio Dias winning it all in 2024 a year before Rafael Jose de Brito swept the podium in 2023).  We can’t say that he’s 1:1 the next Cassio Dias or Jose Vitor Leme.But we can confirm he’s already earned some support atop the chutes and in the locker room And by the time the spring slate rolls around there’s a good chance Correa is competing at the 2025 PBR World Finals.Regardless he’ll very likely be invited and later selected at the 2025 PBR Teams New Rider Draft should he decided to take his skillet to the camaraderie-driven league. Set to dance with Hades during Friday night’s opening round can the 24-year-old build on his encouraging start to what could become one hell of a career during the
