Fetish carvings and Native American symbolism found frequently on crafts items like pottery, jewelry, bead or leather work, paintings, carvings, etc are part of an ancient culture and religion which is extremely complex. Zuni fetishes, known to the Shiwi people as wemawe, are small stone animal carvings made by talented artisans of the Zuni Pueblo. Due to the remote location in Northwest New Mexico, the Zuni people have been able to retain a great deal of their culture and religion despite being among the most studied Native American people by anthropologists, past and present. It is my experience that though Native American culture and tradition can differ between tribes/sects, there are many agreed to meanings of the symbols found throughout the craft works, etc. Inn at Pueblo Bonito features several Native American Artisans from local NM Pueblos- two of which are Marilyn Ray (Acoma) and Vera Tenorio (Santo Domingo). Well known and respected artisans within their Pueblo cultures- each proudly carry on ancestral traditions of craftsmanship and storytelling. The following should provide some insight as to meanings of Native American symbols, Native American fetishes, and materials used in their artwork.
Native American Symbolism Guide
Bears: symbolizes physical strength, leadership and is known as the “first helper”.
Bear Paws: are a symbol representing inner strength.
Feathers: symbols of prayers, marks of honor or sources of ideas. They represent a Creative Force.
Kokopelli: a common fertility symbol thought to bring fertility to women drawn to his flute playing. He also represents the spirit of music.
Eagle: Master of sky; carrier of prayers. Admired for bravery and special connections to the creator.
Buffalo: Spiritual protector bringing nourishment to body & soul. A White Buffalo symbolizes peace.
Dream Catcher: It is believed the web tangles bad dreams & prevents them from passing through. Good dreams slip through the center. Each morning sunlight purifies the web of bad dreams.
Arrowhead: Represents the hunter and symbolizes the adventurer within each of us.
Zuni Bear: The Guardian of the Earth. A heart-line arrow going from head to heart symbolizes a warrior’s heart is strong like the bear’s.
Native American Stone Meanings
CORAL: is known to be very soothing and very protective. It is of an organic origin, being the skeletal remains of marine animals called Coral Polyps. Colonies of these tiny creatures build branching structures as they grow, gradually forming reefs and atolls.
TURQUOISE: It is believed that turquoise tends to bring good fortune, strength and helps overcome illness. Turquoise got its name from the Levantine traders called Turks who brought the stone to Europe from Persia via Turkey centuries ago. Native Americans have prized turquoise since the time of the Aztecs, who mined it in New Mexico. The natural variations that occur in turquoise are part of their appeal and beauty.
RUBY: A gemstone, ruby is thought to speed the healing of body, mind and spirit. It is believed to aid in psychic development while it energizes. It’s a good stone for just about everyone.
LAPIS: Lapis is the perfect stone for wisdom and fortitude. It is also believed to be an excellent stone for decision makers. It helps increase psychic ability.
OPAL: Most people know Opal for it’s distinctive play of color, it is semi-transparent solidified mineral composed of silicon and water, and it gets its name from the Latin word “Oplus” meaning precious stone. Opal is October’s birthstone. It is believed to release self-consciousness allowing spontaneous action, and awakens one’s psychic and mystical qualities.
ONYX: It is a semi-precious gemstone, and it is a cryptocrystalline form of quartz. Onyx is also known to be a calming stone. Native Americans believe it collects negative energy from you while wearing it.
MALACHITE: It is famous for its radial banding and deep green color. Popular today for use in Southwestern Indian jewelry, malachite was also popular in the past with the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. It was worn as a good luck charm to keep away danger and illness. It is believed to balance and stabilize ones emotions.
TIGER”S EYE: Also called Tigers eye or Tiger eye is a chatoyant gemstone. Tiger Eye stone contains a golden yellow reflection on a brown ground color. The most important source of tiger eye is South Africa, but it is also found in California. Native American Indians believe it conveys courage and protection.
PEARLS: Pearls are known to stabilize and balance emotions. They are believed to help your body in using calcium better. For Native Americans pearls are full of purity and integrity.
RHODOCHROSITE: A mineral mined in the U.S., rhodochrosite is known to strengthen self- identity; helps heal deep emotional trauma and balances with a loving vibration. JET: It is an organic gemstone which was highly popular during the reign of Queen Victoria. It has been traditionally fashioned into rosaries for monks. In the U.S. long necklaces of jet beads were very popular during the 1920s, or Roaring Twenties, when women and young flappers would wear multiple strands of jet beads stretching from the neckline to the waistline. Today it is used to beautify Native American Indian jewelry.

Red chile ristras are strung pods of dried red chile frequently displayed near arches, front doors and windows throughout New Mexico. They are iconic in Santa Fe for decorating, especially during harvest months- September and October. Holidays also are popular times and are symbolic of a warm, inviting “welcome.” Ristras have practical uses as well. Red Chile is the featured ingredient of delicious sauces, marinade, and traditional New Mexican culinary dishes.
New Mexico’s arid climate and abundant sunshine provide ideal conditions for annual chile crops which on average produce 80,000 tons a year. Late summer, early fall are unique times when large chile pepper crops are harvested and frequently picked fresh, roasted and eaten as green chile. When the fruit is left on the plant a little longer to ripen, it turns a vibrant red. This causes the fruit to completely change its properties and then is dried, crushed and eaten. Red chile is often strung up into chile ristras to dehydrate in the sun.
Traditional methods were to sun-dry fruits by laying them out, however, contamination among birds and rodents has prompted people to begin tying them together in strings and hanging them on walls, etc. However, you can still see rooftops of homes, stores covered in red chile for drying purposes – especially in the little town of Hatch NM! Hatch is known at the Chile Capital of the World and rightly so. It grows more green chile than anywhere on earth and its crops are highly sought after by locals and tourists alike! As ristras dry their color darkens to a subtle rusty red color. At this point, they are ready to use in cooking or as decoration as ristras!
Dried Red Chile Ristra as Decorations:
Fall traditions of Santa Fe, New Mexico include red chile ristras adorning farmer’s markets and roadside stands around the state. Red Chile Ristras are commonly used for decoration as seen with backgrounds of adobe brown buildings. They are said to bring health and good luck! Interested in taking a good luck chile ristra home with you? We invite you to enjoy the thrill of fall Santa Fe travel with the purpose of purchasing a red chile ristras for yourself. They make great gifts too! A visit to Santa Fe in fall is much more advised as boxing and mailing isn’t a preferred method in handeling these beauties! Thier vibrant red color makes for a memorable statement for welcomed guests. New Mexico’s arid dry climate provides a perfect showcase for these lovely hanging chiles, however they might not do so well back home. If visiting Santa Fe from a more humid state, your ristra may need to be treated with lacquer before taking it home. Lacquer will help preserve the chile from moisture in the air and avoid messes later on. We use Aquanet hairspray on ours- even in Santa Fe to highlight the color, prevent flying pests from enjoying the chile, and simply to provide a longer hanging life!
Dried Chile in Cooking
Use dried red chile in cooking, either crushed as powder or rehydrated, blended, boiled and then strained to make red chile sauce (also just called “red chile”). Red Chile, along with green chile, is a staple in traditional New Mexican cuisine! Red chile sauces can be ladled over dishes, such as enchiladas and tamales; used as base for stews, such as posole; or marinade for meats, as with carne adovada. Green chile, however, is most often used in soups, dips and chowders. Regardless of how you choose to use chile- red or green- it’s a New Mexico tradition! Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast is famous for thier “Pueblo Tamale” which is featured every morning for breakfast. How better to start your day than a red chile pork tamale with fresh fruit and coffee?

If you saw a missional church, what would it look like? What patterns of behavior and practice would you find there? Building on the ground laid by the book Missional Church (Darrell Guder et al.), this volume centers on case studies of nine missional congregations from across North America that are diverse in their denominational affiliations, worship styles, political stances, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Treasure in Clay Jars explores eight concrete "patterns" common to these churches. Although the patterns may be different in each setting, they can be recognized in any congregation seeking to participate in God's mission in the world. The congregations studied here are "clay jars," but each carries in its respective witness a remarkable treasure that points to God's power and purposes.
There is growing literature on the need for local congregations to become more mission-minded, yet churches lack the know-how for turning conviction into practice. This volume highlights eight tangible characteristics currently being modeled by nine congregations from across North America.

Music in worship: making spiritual connections through sound
MetadataShow full item record
Music has played a significant role in religion and spiritual settings over the centuries and continues to be included throughout church history, forming an important aspect of worship, contributing to spiritual growth and wellbeing. This article situates itself within a wider study on Spirituality and Wellbeing: Music in the community. Drawing on narrative reflection, the authors discuss their experiences across Melbourne (Australia) and Potchefstroom (South Africa) and include some interview data from church musicians from the wider study in Melbourne in relation to how church music contributes to spirituality and impacts on wellbeing. As church musicians they argue that music in church settings can offer parishioners the opportunity to experience and express spirituality in their life through sound. They recognize and acknowledge that music through singing, playing, improvising and listening is an aspect of spiritual connection that is not confined to the institution of the church or to a religion but is concerned with the connection we feel and sense in mysterious and unknown places and spaces. The findings of this study are limited as it only focuses on the experience of the authors, hence, generalizations to other musicians or church settings cannot be made. The authors argue that music in church settings can enliven and transform worship through music in which spiritual connections can be fostered between God and man that positively engender wellbeing.

Hipmunk has long been a bastion of simplicity — one interface that grids out the various flight options for a specific flight search.
Now, the brand is looking for new ways to invigorate its approach to the customer, announcing today a more complete set of tools that allow users to save searches in the trip planning phase.
At launch, this grid was a revolutionary way to view and search for flights. There was a tab option if you wanted to toggle between multiple searches, but other than that there was no further functionality to aid trip research.
Now Hipmunk will allow users to name trips and save them for later, including flights, hotels and car rentals. This is a move into full-fledged OTA or mature meta territory, as it offers ongoing engagement opportunities that lead to a longer-term relationship with searchers.
Other parts of the new planning feature set include favorites and the ability to search regardless of platform. The saved trips will be available on mobile, tablet and desktop. A standard share functionality is also included for group travel planning and other situations requiring sharing with others.
This is a smart move, as the OTA/meta field becomes more crowded and entrenched players investing millions in proprietary technologies that differentiate from competitors. Without investing in further features or cross-device search capabilities, Hipmunk was at risk of being left behind.
For example, Expedia's Scratchpad aims to bring real-time tracking to previous searches for travelers, while also allowing them to curate and cull the list of potential places to stay and flights to take. This makes the site more sticky and leads to differentiation through technology and not inventory — an essential move in a commoditized world where there is just not that much inventory difference anymore.
Hipmunk has been ramping up its headcount recently, nearly doubling its full time employee count to 71 since January 2014. The company will end the year with about 85, indicating some likely investments ahead in user experience and product in general.
Here's a short video describing Hipmunk's new offering.

Innovative Technique of Ear Lobe Repair in Elongated Ear Lobules with Preservation of the Earring Orifice
Hardik Dodia  | Harsh Amin | Karnadev Solanki
Abstract: Background: Ear piercing and ear ornament wearing is an age old tradition. Elongated ear lobe and torn earlobe usually results from sudden stretch or continuous use of heavy earrings. Various surgical techniques have been described in literature. Each procedure has its own pros and cons. The choice will depend on individual preferences and the defect, partial or total, and should offer a lower chance of recurrence. The corrections can be made with or without preservation of the earring orifice. The innovative technique that I am describing focuses on treatment of elongated ear lobules with preservation of earing orifice and bilateral ear lobule repair. Method: This technique was applied on 3 patients and 6 months follow up was noted. Study carried out in year 2018 at Adorn Cosmetic Center, Ahmedabad. Results: Good post-operative results were achieved in all 3 patients with maintained ear lobe thickness and good shape and a good orifice. Conclusions: Our technique has an advantage of maintaining the normal ear lobe thickness, good earlobe shape and good orifice size. Above all it has advantage of very easy repair technique.

Continuous Abdominal Paracentesis for Successful Management of Severe Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome
Kadek Agus Wijaya  | IB Putra Adnyana


Circadian rhythms have evolved to anticipate metabolic needs across the 24-h light/dark cycle. This is accomplished by circadian expression of metabolic genes orchestrated by transcription factors through chromatin remodeling and histone modifications. Our recent genome-wide study on histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) in mouse liver provides novel insights into the molecular link between circadian rhythm and hepatic de novo lipogenesis. We found that liver-specific knockout of HDAC3 in adult mouse displays severe hepatic steatosis associated with enhanced de novo lipogenesis and increased expression of lipogenic genes. Genome-wide analysis (ChIP-seq) revealed a pronounced circadian pattern of HDAC3 occupancy on genes involved in lipid metabolism, which is inversely related to histone acetylation and RNA polymerase II recruitment at these sites. The cistromes of HDAC3 and its binding partner, nuclear receptor corepressor (NCoR), significantly overlap with that of Rev-erbα, a nuclear receptor directly involved in the core circadian machinery. Knockout of Rev-erbα in mouse also leads to hepatic steatosis and enhanced de novo lipogenesis. Collectively, these data suggest that the circadian epigenomic remodeling controlled by HDAC3, and largely directed by Rev-erbα, is essential for homeostasis of the lipogenic process in liver.

This is a "by the book" recipe. But not the kind of book you'd expect.
I discovered it in Naprej pa v slovenščini, the new textbook we have been using in this year's language class at the Slovenian Hall in San Francisco.
According to the textbook authors, this recipe originally appeared on a Slovenian culinary portal (perhaps Kulinarika.net) and includes commentary from the website users. One Slovenian reader noted that even though the recipe seemed similar to a “French salad” (because of the mayonnaise and mustard?) it was still very good and deserved a clear “petica”—a 5, which means a grade of A in the Slovenian marking system.
|from Naprej pa v slovenščini
The original Slovene recipe is below. It is followed by my English translation and measurement conversions, along with a few other thoughts about this "Grade A" potato salad recipe.
1 kg krompirja
20 dag kislih kumaric
1 žlica gorčice
3 žlice majoneze
3 stroki česna
Skuhajte cel krompir ter še vročega olupite in narežite v
skledo za solato. Posolite, dodajte olje in premešajte. Ohlajenemu krompiru dodajte drobno nasekljane kisle kumarice, poper, gorčico, majonezo, narezana jajca in stisnjen ali nasekljan česen ter kis po okusu. Vse skupaj premešajte in postrezite kot prilogo k ribam ali mesu.
“Grade A” Potato Salad (my translation)
1 kg of potatoes (2.2 pounds)
20 dag (200 g or 1-1/4 cups) of sour cucumbers (i.e., pickles)
1 tablespoon of mustard
3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
3 cloves of garlic
Cook whole potatoes and when still hot peel and slice into a salad bowl. Salt, add oil and mix. To cooled potatoes, add finely chopped pickles, pepper, mustard, mayonnaise, sliced eggs and pressed or chopped garlic and vinegar to taste. Mix all together and serve as a side dish to fish or meat.
|Potato salad with sausage and sauerkraut
Like so many traditional recipes, this one assumes that the reader already knows how to cook. Not everything is spelled out. (Obviously, those eggs need to be hard-cooked before slicing!) Quantities of oil, vinegar, salt and pepper are unspecified and must be adjusted to taste, especially after the salad has been resting in the refrigerator for some time and the dressing has been absorbed.
For a little more detail about what I did: I used medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes, olive oil, unfiltered apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and French cornichon pickles. The first time around, I left the potatoes unpeeled and made no attempt to measure the oil and vinegar. The second time, when I made a double recipe for the "end-of-year" party of my Slovenian class, I made a few changes. I peeled the potatoes after boiling (as the recipe directs) and decided to measure the initial quantities of oil and vinegar I used. A good "ballpark" figure might be to start with 1/4 cup oil and 1/8 cup vinegar, but you really do need to adjust according to your own preference. (Personally, I like a tart salad.)
I considered using some pumpkin seed oil but was afraid the salad would be oddly green. My husband had the bright idea of drizzling a little pumpkin seed oil on top. We tried that at home and it was a nice touch.

I haven’t been very diligent about exercising my pen and ink skills, but that doesn’t mean that I’ve given up. I recently signed up for the newsletter from the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) and got my second issue today. I began what will hopefully be a regular* practice of drawing the bird they highlight. [*”Regular” is defined in two ways: 1. wishful thinking of weekly engagement 2. practical reality of whenever the mood strikes; Note: definition 2 is more likely.] Today, ABC showcased the barn owl (the one seen in Labyrinth!). I do not see this around my home, but I have heard it in the not so far distance at least twice.
I originally wanted to just spend 30 minutes on a pencil sketch, but I didn’t even look at the time. When I decided to bring out the pens, I decided only 15 more minutes, but it took a total of thirty or so. I am guessing this took me around one hour total, but honestly I have no idea. I don’t want to spend a lot of time working sketches because I know that if I force that, I will burn out or not make the time and it will fade out. But, if I don’t notice the time passing, that is celebration in itself! Therefore, the agreement I made to myself is a minimum of 15 minutes – a small chunk of time to hopefully keep the definition of “regular” closer to number 1. With the ABC newsletter delivered every week as a reminder, I think I can make this work (which will also mean I will be sketching things not local to my home, but every practice will get me better at live sketching!).
I wonder if this will turn into watercolor practice also. Or, maybe I will look into colored pens… I have pencils… Hmm… …
Shortly after making my first “Everything is better with” sign, I put this one in the queue. I gifted it to my sister-in-law, who contributed “sunshine” to my list.
I wanted this to be light and “sunny”, so taking inspiration from the sky, I chose a light yellow fabric with small white painted stars against a vivid teal-esque blue with white polkadots. The shades really “pop” each other! And per my M.O., I used stem stitch for the text, in the same shade of blue.
The sun rays are teeny chain stitches and straight stitches in about six different colors (yellows through oranges), topped off with a vintage button combo; the orange button has a nice texture that reminds me of fire! I used bright yellow ricrac to set off the front from the back, and a light yellow paper twine for the hanger. The back sports the same felt as in the original sign.
What I am learning for myself in all this is how much I love foamboard and thread with a twist! Because floss is what is widely available, and many embroideries do call for stranded floss, it is what my collection is mostly made of. However, the more I sew, the more I turn to my Sulky petites or pearl cottons instead. I have both of Sulky’s petites dream assortments and the color choices are pretty stellar. I also have Coats & Clark’s 50 pack assortment of dual duty quilting thread, and am always fascinated that I can find nearly the perfect color match for any of my fabrics when I need to hide a seam (I mention this here because I had just the right yellow and just the right blue on hand). Now, if only I had more foamboard… :D
At one of my guild meetings, I picked up a small dimensional embroidery kit by A Candle In The Cellar, aptly named “woolly worm on a leaf”. I put it away for a time because at a glance, it looked like it used bullion knots to make the worm and I wanted more practice since the threads in the kit are specialty (EdMar’s Iris and Bouclé). But, when digging through my stash for a small project, I read the directions and actually this only involved wrapping threads around a straight stitch – not bullion knots!
The pattern asks to sew the leaf to a piece of fabric in a hoop, but I wanted this to stand on its own. I used floral wire and there was enough felt to cut out a second leaf to hide all the knots between. Doing the feather stitch on the leaf without a ground fabric was a bit tricky, but when I whip stitched the two leaves together in a matching green thread, I was able to anchor the feather stitch in place for the most part.
It was a little fiddly because it is quite tiny, as you can see with my cat Maya for scale (she was very interested in this little bug!), but I am happy with it!

Rolling into the Memorial Day weekend, the conference finals have gotten themselves into full gear and the start of the Finals themselves are on the horizon—June 6, in fact. But for now, it’s Friday, and it’s time for Throwin’ Elbows:
For Spurs, Splitter is the difference
Two years ago, when the Grizzlies upset the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs, becoming just the second No. 8 seed to knock off a No. 1 in a seven-game series, big man Zach Randolph was the key. He averaged 21.5 points against San Antonio, including a 31-point effort in the Game 6 clincher at home.
The Spurs have been determined not to allow that to happen again this time around, as they face the Grizzlies in the Western Conference finals. So far, so good—Randolph has had a miserable time of it so far, shooting 8-for-26 (30.8 percent) and totaling just 17 points in two games. San Antonio has been able to do that in a variety of ways, by fronting him, making entry passes difficult and sending double-teams at him.
But the most effective weapon the Spurs have against Randolph probably hasn’t gotten enough attention—big man Tiago Splitter, who played only 50 minutes over three games in the ’11 series between the two teams. Randolph does his best work in the post, particularly on the left block, and Splitter has quietly developed into one of the best post-up defenders in the league.
According to Synergy Sports, Splitter ranked ninth in the league in defending the post this season, among players who saw at least 100 possessions against the play, allowing .705 points per possession. Ahead of him are some pretty big names among NBA defenders: Dwight Howard, Tyson Chandler, Carmelo Anthony (which probably has more to do with Chandler), Kevin Garnett, Marcin Gortat, Marc Gasol, Josh Smith and Larry Sanders.
Randolph is one of the best post scorers in the league. “He’s a very talented guy,” Splitter said. “He’s very active close to the basket. He’s always trying to fight for position and that’s what we’ve got to do—be there before him, don’t let him grab that position. If not, we’re screwed. He’s very talented, he’s got great touch close to the basket.”
Randolph was one of the league’s most prolific post-up scorers this year, averaging .833 points per possession. Tim Duncan and Boris Diaw have done well to slow Randolph in the series, but Splitter has been the star of the show.
In Game 2, the Grizzlies ran 14 post-up plays for Randolph, scoring a measly seven points. Half of those possessions came against Splitter one-on-one, and Randolph struggled badly, shooting 1-for-5 (he was 2-for-4 in the post against other defenders) and committing a turnover. Randolph scored only three points when posting up against Splitter.
As a team, the Spurs have done an outstanding job limiting Randolph—as well as Gasol—in the post. The Grizzlies could probably get him going by playing guard Jerryd Bayless and/or forward Quincy Pondexter more, to create more space near the basket. But even that might not help. Splitter moved into the upper echelon of post defenders this year, and he is proving it here in the West final.
Last week, Ohio State forward DeShaun Thomas noted at the NBA’s Draft Combine that he had worked out with injured center Greg Oden, and that Oden looked, “unbelievable.” Indeed, a source close to Oden told me that Oden has lost, “significant,” weight and that he should be ready to play next year.
Oden had microfracture surgery last February on his left knee, the second time he has had a microfracture procedure on that knee. He also had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, and had a procedure known as Orthokine done last May.
Despite reports that have connected him with more than a quarter of the league’s teams—Spurs, Celtics, Heat, Cavaliers, Bobcats, Pelicans, Pacers, Mavericks—Oden, who is only 25, is no closer to deciding on a team with which to make his return. He is sticking with the timeline of signing in July, with the source saying, “He is just going to keep rehabbing and being patient.” Oden will not play in Summer League in July.
Hard to blame P.J. Carlesimo for not being overly positive when it comes to the NBA coaching profession. Having helped turn the Nets around as an interim coach after the firing of Avery Johnson, there was speculation he would get a crack at the job long-term. But after bowing out to an undermanned Bulls team in the playoffs, Carlesimo was let go.
Carlesimo was asked whether owner Mikhail Prokhorov’s championship declarations made the job tougher. “I think it made it difficult to keep the job more so for Avery, because Avery was brought in, and he did the dirty work,” Carelsimo said. “You got the two years of getting your head knocked off while they were getting the roster together and getting the salary cap right and all that. Then … he didn’t get a chance to reap the benefits of those two years, which was unfortunate.”
Asked about the Clippers letting Vinny Del Negro go, Carlesimo said, “I really thought Vinny did a hell of a job. If you had said when he took over that position a couple years ago here’s what his record is going to be in the next couple of years, people would have said get out of here, they’re not going to do that. And then to do it and be told, hey, we're going to go in a different direction, it makes you wonder a little bit.”
Carlesimo said one of his regrets about the way things happened in Brooklyn was that he was not tough enough on his team. But, then, maybe he had no choice. “What is not good in the league right now, and it’s just reality – it’s a players’ league,” he said. “There is no question about that.”

NAIROBI, May 28 (Xinhua) -- The UN on Monday hailed China's rural development model that has reduced poverty as well as reversed rural urban migration.
Remy Sietchiping, head of the regional and metropolitan planning unit at UN-Habitat, told Xinhua in Nairobi on Monday that the development in Songyang County in the southwest of Zhejiang province has transformed the rural area by adopting low cost innovations.
"The rural transformation model has indicated that villages can have a high standard of living," Sietchiping said during the international guidelines on urban and territorial planning and health event at the first UN Habitat Assembly.
Songyang is a mountainous county that has preserved all the practices of agricultural civilization.
Sietchiping said that through value addition of locally available resources, Songyang County has become one of the most livable regions in China.
He noted that farmers in the rural areas have also been linked to global consumers through the use of an e-commerce platform.
The UN-Habitat official noted that life in rural areas is also more desirable in China because it has less pollution and rural residents tend to have more disposable income as compared to their urban counterparts.

DETROIT -- Reaching back into its advertising history, Farmer Jack here launched a new price-chopping campaign over the weekend, aimed at winning back market share in the competitive marketplace.
With no interested suitors, Farmer Jack's Montvale, N.J.-based parent, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., last October voided plans to sell the 67-store chain in favor of a cost-cutting initiative that got underway in late 2005.
The "It's Always Savings Time at Farmer Jack" campaign, which broke May 6, is supported by an aggressive advertising program including weekly hot circulars, radio ads, and truck signage.
Providing background on the move, Tom Lenkevich, Farmer Jack divisional v.p. of operations, said: "We have a customer-focused plan of action to welcome customers into our stores [and] let them know that we are providing good value, day in and day out, fresh goods, and price-point savings. As Farmer Jack reintroduces our historic 'Savings Time' value pricing campaign, we have lowered the prices of over 4000 items. The 'Savings Time' message was clearly top of mind when it was created in 1995 to support the company's then hard-driving savings story."
Lenkevich said the revived program today is "even more important to our customers and to our employees, who along with Farmer Jack Supermarkets, have deep roots in our southeastern Michigan communities. We are proud to drive home this message and to return to a continuing mission of saving people money with 'It's Always Savings Time at Farmer Jack.'"
As an important component of the "Savings Time" campaign, on April 1 Farmer Jack announced the return of the company's popular Bonus Savings Card (BSC). In addition to offering special features like price-focused family-sized "Jack Packs" in targeted merchandise categories, the card will also provide customers with the tools to maximize their savings at Farmer Jack stores.
"If first response is any indication of consumer reaction to the reintroduction of the BSC card, we are very encouraged," noted Lenkevich. "We are now welcoming over half a million new card holders to the Farmer Jack family and building our numbers each week." Citing recent research that finds many Michigan shoppers still favorably recalling the "Savings Time" jingle, Lenkevich said the tune is one of the most recognizable "theme songs" in local market advertising history.
Noting that Farmer Jack has seen both strong sales and challenging times in recent years, Lenkevich said the many difficult decisions the chain initiated -- including closing unprofitable stores, reducing capital spending, and asking loyal union associates for and receiving wage concessions that will be restored over the next few years -- have been instrumental in keeping the majority of Farmer Jack stores open and profitable.
The United Food & Commercial Workers Local 876 issued a statement in support of the chain's efforts to maintain the current profitability momentum with the relaunch of the price-cutting strategy program.

Too often emerging artists focus on nuts-and-bolts techniques--form--as the key to creating powerful paintings. Here author Gerald Brommer reveals that emotional content is the most vital consideration. He shows how the grouping of elements, the weight given to each and the way they're depicted influence how observers perceive them.
Part one is an introduction to emotional content. The three subsequent parts guide readers through the steps of Brommer's system:
1. Selecting elements: This section includes two in-depth demonstrations on the selection and editing process.
2. Sketching the scene: Quick one-minute sketches lay out possible groupings for the elements selected in the step above.
3. Using color to evoke emotion: Color's impact on mood, temperature, light, dominance of elements, and sense of place. Full-length demonstrations show how to use color to convey emotional content.
A balanced mix of instruction, in-progress illustrations and beautiful completed work make the concepts concrete for all levels of artists.

The FBI says that computer hackers accessed, and in one case stole, voter registration files in two states, potentially compromising personal information and putting crucial election data at risk just three months before voters head to the polls. And if that weren’t unsettling enough, the techniques that the hackers used were neither sophisticated nor particularly hard to employ, proving that it’s not just high-end hackers from foreign governments, like the ones believed to be targeting U.S. political organizations, that elections officials need to worry about in the runup to November. “I don’t think anyone can assume that these vulnerabilities would be unique to these states,” Pamela Smith, the president of Verified Voting, a nonprofit group that advocates transparency and security in U.S. elections, told The Daily Beast. “This is a time when assuming is not the best thing to do.”
The FBI’s analysis of the hacks, contained in a security alert first reported by Yahoo News, shows that Arizona’s elections website was penetrated in June using a common vulnerability that’s well known to security experts. Then, in July, Illinois’ voter files were accessed apparently using stolen login credentials, which could have been obtained by spear phishing a state employee. (The FBI didn’t identify the victims by name in the alert, but experts familiar with the cases pointed out that they match reported hacks in Arizona and Illinois, where officials have acknowledged the intrusions.)
On the scale of hacker sophistication, these attacks rank on the low-end, relative child’s play for the kinds of skilled operators that U.S. officials suspect may have stolen emails from the Democratic National Committee and Democrat and Republican lawmakers in an attempt to sow chaos in the presidential elections. There’s no hard evidence yet that the same crew, believed to be working for the Russian government, was at work in the states. But the hacks underscore that these states and others present easy targets. Experts predicted that Arizona and Illinois won’t turn out to be the only victims.

4 – Harry Winston Jewelry Store in 2007 & 2008 ($100 Million+)
Not content with carrying out a daring raid on a Harry Winston jewelry store in Paris in 2007, eight thieves completed a second theft at the same location just one year later. The gang were members of the notorious Pink Panthers group (named after the series of comedy movies) and perpetrated their first theft in October 2007. On that occasion, four armed men dressed as decorators entered the store at around 10:00 a.m. and forced the manager to deactivate alarms and open safes. Within 30 minutes, they left with hundreds of items of jewelry worth over $30 million.
Most people would be delighted to escape scot-free with such a huge haul, but whether they were motivated by greed or simply the adrenaline rush of planning and completing a heist, they returned to the same store on December 4, 2008. On this occasion, four men entered the store (two were dressed as women) and pulled out handguns. There is a suggestion that a security guard helped the gang on both occasions.
Within 20 minutes, the gang left with an estimated $70 million worth of jewelry. Detectives referred to the spectacular theft as the ‘heist of the century, ‘ but on this occasion, the gang did not disappear into the wind. Police discovered 19 rings in a plastic box encased in a concrete mold down the rainwater drain of the home of Douadi Yahiaoui. He was a suspect in the crimes and police tracked him down to the northern Parisian suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis. Doudou, as he is known, was a career criminal and served over 20 years in prison for drug offenses and robbery.
An estimated 25 people have been arrested since the crime took place, and in 2015 the eight men directly involved in the theft were jailed. The sentences ranged from eight months to 15 years. Doudou was supposedly the mastermind, and he received the longest sentence.
On May 2, 1990, John Goddard was walking down a quiet side street in the City of London holding a briefcase. Nothing unusual about that, you might think except for the fact his case held 301 Treasury Bonds valued at almost £1 million each! As a messenger with a money broker called Sheppard’s, Goddard routinely carried these Bank of England Treasury Bills, but on this day, he ran into a mugger who relieved him of the bonds, which were as good as cash.
Police believe that a petty crook named Patrick Thomas was the mugger, but Thomas couldn’t be charged since he was murdered in December 1991. Five men were eventually arrested in connection with the theft, including Keith Cheeseman, who received a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence. However, he was the only person to serve jail time for the robbery because the other four individuals were acquitted due to lack of evidence. Bizarrely, during the trials of these four men in 1991, no evidence was offered, so they were all able to walk free.
An informant helped the police recover 299 of the bonds, and the FBI and City of London police worked together to infiltrate the gang. There are a few unanswered questions regarding the City Bonds Robbery. First of all, why was Cheeseman the only person convicted? And who murdered Thomas?
Police wrapped up the case relatively quickly, but it seems incredible in such a lucrative robbery that only one man suffered the consequences when the identities of other participants were presumably known. It is also remarkable that one of the largest robberies in history was carried out by a low-level thief using a knife in broad daylight.
6 – Dar Es Salaam Bank Robbery in 2007 ($282 Million)
For a theft that resulted in the heist of approximately $282 million, the Dar Es Salaam incident in Baghdad, Iraq received relatively little media coverage. The thieves clearly used the prevailing chaos in the city to perpetuate the heist on July 11, 2007. At the time, even the local police and Iraqi Government couldn’t agree on the most basic details. Local police said two guards pulled off the robbery whereas the Interior Ministry suggested that three men were involved.
The morning after the theft, employees of the bank came to work only to find the doors unlocked, the vault wide open and the money has gone. There are a host of unanswered questions about the robbery, and to this day, no one has been arrested and none of the cash has been recovered. Why did the bank have so much cash on that day and why was it in U.S. Dollars rather than Iraqi Dinar?
It is likely that the men had the assistance of the local militias because there is no other way they could steal that amount of money and safely leave the city. To give you an idea of the utter carnage in the city of Baghdad at that time, a total of 18 people were murdered on the same day as the heist.
As the Nazis proved during World War II, it is much easier to steal huge amounts of money in wartime than in times of peace. Whoever carried out the Dar Es Salaam bank robbery took advantage of lax security and will probably never be caught.
7 – Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company in 2015 (£200 Million+)
This was an exceptionally clever theft perpetrated by a gang of up to six men. It had shades of Ocean’s Eleven insofar as evidence of the crime wasn’t discovered for several days. On April 1, 2015, electrical cables beneath the pavement in Kingsway caught on fire which caused major problems in central London for several days. The police now believe the fire was started by the robbers.
The following day, six men descended onto the roof of the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company, disabled the elevator shaft, and went down to the basement where they found safety deposit boxes filled with valuables. Then they disabled the security system and drilled into a concrete wall to gain access to the boxes. The men apparently worked all night, and after 11 hours, finally left with millions of pounds worth of jewelry. The gang returned a couple of days later and stole even more goods! The building was closed because it was an Easter Bank Holiday weekend, and although police at Scotland Yard received information regarding a burglar alarm being triggered, they didn’t announce that they knew of theft until April 7.
UK newspaper the Daily Mirror released CCTV footage to the public on April 10. By May 19, the Metropolitan Police Force announced the arrest of nine suspects. In the end, seven men were convicted of the robbery and received terms of 6-7 years apiece. The four ringleaders pleaded guilty and probably shocked police when they found the men ranged from 58-74 years of age. The four men had an enormous amount of criminal experience under their belts and proceeded to use a book called Forensics for Dummies to avoid leaving a DNA trail.
It later transpired that the gang benefited from a huge slice of luck during the heist. One of the thieves triggered a silent alarm and security guards were contacted at home. A call was made to Scotland Yard and officers should have been sent to the scene. However, there was a mix-up in the way the call was categorized, so the police were not dispatched. When one of the security officers arrived on the scene, he found that the main doors were secure with no other evidence of a break-in, so he classified it as a false alarm.
Police called in the Flying Squad, who quickly identified the suspects and made the arrests. The unfortunate Hatton Garden company went into liquidation in September 2015 because business dried up after the robbery.

His articles and review essays on Milton, Spenser, Tasso, Empson, Ariosto, Browne, Herbert and others have appeared in ELH, Renaissance Quarterly, SEL, Milton Studies, Modern Philology, Huntington Library Quarterly, Journal of British Studies, Religion and Literature and the London Review of Books. Awards include fellowships from the ACLS, Huntington,and Folger, and the Isabel MacCaffrey Prize of the International Spenser Society.
Dr. Gregory's first book From Many Gods to One: Divine Action in Renaissance Epic (Chicago, 2006) examines how Renaissance poets approached the problem of epic divine action: how to replace the Olympian gods of Homer and Virgil? Drawing on scholarship in several disciplines--religion, classics, history, and philosophy, as well as literature--the book sheds new light on two subjects of enduring importance in Renaissance studies: the precarious balance between classical literary models and Christian religious norms, and the role of religion in drawing lines between allies and others.

April 3, 2019
Denver, CO — The Senate Health and Human Services Committee today voted 5-0 to pass SB19-172, Protect from Unlawful Abandonment and Confinement, a bill sponsored by Senator Jessie Danielson (D-Wheat Ridge) and Senator Joann Ginal (D-Fort Collins) to protect at-risk adults from abuse and neglect. The bill now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee for consideration.
“It is heartbreaking to see some of the most vulnerable Coloradans suffering, and this measure will protect seniors and people with disabilities from some really horrific treatment,” said Senator Danielson. “This legislation will give law enforcement the tools to crack down on abuse and neglect.”
“Abandonment and confinement are inhumane and no one, especially not seniors and people with disabilities, should ever be subject to either of these crimes,” said Senator Ginal. “Every person should be treated with dignity, and we need to ensure that law enforcement are aware of the signs and have the means to take action against these heinous crimes.”
Currently, law enforcement cannot prosecute the types of abuse that the bill covers – abandonment and confinement – because they are not yet defined as crimes. The act properly defines these crimes in order to protect senior citizens, disabled adults, and other at-risk Coloradans from abuse.
The bill defines unlawful abandonment as purposeful desertion of an at-risk person. Unlawful confinement is defined as tying, locking up, caging, chaining, or otherwise unreasonably restricting an at-risk person’s movement.
