![]() I had contacted the current owner and arranged a time to visit on our way to see old friends in Rockport where we used to live. I must have been around thirteen years old that summer, but still have vivid dreams of the house and the moats and ocean surrounding the property. We also took a trip to Beverly Farms, where we spent a summer 50 years ago, at our mother's friend's mansion, while her friend was in Nevada arranging for a divorce. She showed me around her new home town where we went kayaking on a river, walked her dog Meeki through many parks and forests and found a local lakefront beach complete with a hotdog stand, where I plan to return for many more visits. In August I traveled to New England to visit my sister who had moved from Lockwood, California earlier this year to buy a house in western Massachusetts near friends, and found a cute renovated 1820's farmhouse in Belchertown. I am encouraging her to have a show and publish a book of her compelling work. Kristine lives in Washington DC and is a very talented photographer documenting the protests at our nation's capital almost on a daily basis, including January 6th. Kristine displayed a collection of felt wool products for Dancing Yak's booth, including a red tote bag with the word VOTE spelled out in bold black letters which also caught the buyer's attention. Their booth was included in a buyers tour of the pavilion which brought a welcome crowd by our booths. Guillermo and Sofia did a great job displaying their products handcrafted by women weavers in Chiapas, including traditional huipil dresses with contemporary patterns, and pillows, blankets, table linens and hammocks in soft colors. We were happy to have our wonderful booth neighbors, Guillermo Jester and Sofia Tania from ATA Mexico, and Kristine Jones working with Dancing Yak Handicrafts of Nepal. Payal has won numerous awards for her work in India over the past seventeen years and I hope to be able to visit her one day to continue our conversations. ![]() She and I talked about the challenges facing international artisans, particularly during the pandemic and how to compete for market share in a struggling US economy. I had the pleasure of working with Lauren, Rachel and Hannah from the Aid to Artisan team and meeting Payal Nath, the co-founder of Kadam Haat, working to create opportunities for artisan women in rural India. ![]() I love comparing the raw sketches to the photographs of the finished booths, makes it all look so easy! We were able to collaborate and problem-solve together, to create handsome displays showing the multiple artisan products at their best. We had our share of surprises with missing shipments of products found at the last minute, and sizes and quantities of items we didn't anticipate. The sketches were helpful in ordering the Ikea fixtures and props we would need ahead of time, when the Aid to Artisans team and I arrived to merchandise the booths. In an effort to pre-visualize the different booth displays before arriving in Las Vegas to help install, I made a series of pencil sketches with watercolors to get a sense of how everything might come together. I had fun previewing the photos of the beautiful finished products along with the artisans making them. And Bandipora weavers partnered with designer Stacy Spivak to produce wool scarves and shawls using kani, tweed, and hand-spun pashmina and merino wools, using cultural techniques that have been passed down for generations. Women artisans in Kashmir, craft a specific type of hand embroidery called crewel that uses a hook and hand dyed wool yarn to create intricate designs. ![]() NoorAari, supported by Rangsutra in India, partnered with Sudarshan Textile Arts, to produce and design embroidered scarves and pillows. Paper Mâché is a legacy craft that has been produced in Kashmir since the 14th century. ![]() Zadibal Crafts, supported by the Sasha Crafts exhibited a variety of paper mache vases and bowls, designed by Aviva Shulem. The Shaaksaz Producer Company, supported by Kadam Haat in India, featured willow garden and tabletop baskets, wattle fencing and light pendants designed by Howard Peller, founder of Living Willow Farm. This summer I was asked by Aid to Artisans to help with their Las Vegas Market booth display for their Art-X project showcasing the work of four different artisans groups in Kashmir. ![]()

![]() ![]() The song of the Australian magpie is not easily confused with that of any other bird species but it can be confusing if the magpie is mimicking other bird species. Listen to audio recordings of their typical calls at New Zealand Birds Online. Magpies may indulge in beak-clapping to warn other species of birds and have several high pitched alarm or rallying calls when intruders or threats are spotted. Fledgling and juvenile magpies emit a repeated short and loud, high-pitched begging call. The noise warns all deer that something is radically wrong. ![]() There may be three reasons for these sounds. A group of magpies will sing a short repetitive version of carolling just before dawn (dawn song), and at twilight after sundown (dusk song), in winter and spring. Snorts are single, very short, explosive sounds given as the deer turns to run. Birds will adopt a specific posture by tilting their heads back, expanding their chests, and moving their wings backwards. Pairs of magpies often take up a loud musical calling known as carolling to advertise or defend their territory. These songs have been recorded up to 70 minutes in duration and are more frequent after the end of the breeding season. When alone, a magpie may make a quiet musical warbling. Humans have studied deer for many years and have been able to distinguish between the different sounds deer make. Used by dominant animals to establish and maintain who is boss. ![]() Noises associated with deer include bleating, crying, grunting, sniffing, snorting, stomping, and wheezing. Magpies can also mimic other birds and will occasionally mimic humans, dogs and horses. By Stuart / FebruDeer do not bark or growl like many predators. The call is particularly noticeable at dawn and dusk. BBC Countryfile Magazine expert guide to the six native deer species found. Australian magpies have an array of complex vocalisations, including a distinctive peeling or carolling song which is wonderfully described as “quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle” in The Magpies by New Zealand poet Denis Glover. ![]() ![]() ![]() Place the jar on the saucer with a layer of water on it. Simply place them on the soil and sprinkle with a new layer of soil until just covered. If you have several seeds, keep about 4 to 5 cm space between them. The small seeds do not have to be pressed deeply into the soil. Now fill the pot with the growing medium (the soil), to just above half of the pot. By using this technique, and not watering from above, you prevent your plant from getting too much water and the seed from washing away. ![]() The cotton wool will be able to absorb the water. That way you can water your cactus from below. Pull a piece of the cotton wool out through the hole on the outside. If you are using a terracotta pot, first place some cotton wool on the drainage hole. This is also a good option, which ensures optimal drainage and aeration. Furthermore, you can also make your own soil mixture by mixing perlite and compost (half and half). You can purchase this at a garden center. You can use cactus soil as a nutrient medium. If the soil is too wet, the roots of the cactus can rot. The hole in the bottom also prevents the soil from becoming too moist. The best are terracotta pots: they provide good drainage. Potting soil and potsĭid you order seeds and receive them at home? Then you will first have to decide where you will grow the cactus. To grow a cactus from seed you need the following: Your cactus will then continue to grow happily, so that you always have a supply whenever you want. It is better to wait longer, until the plant is large enough, so that you can only cut off a piece. However, it is still so small that you will need the entire cactus for a trip. If you are in a hurry, you can harvest your cactus about a year after sowing. You really only need a good dose of patience for it. The fact is that growing a cactus yourself is a lot of fun and not difficult at all. Or that also for mescaline cacti, you should try it out yourself. It's like your own hard work makes the taste and smell of your food purer and tastier. Growing mescaline cacti, that's how you do itĮverything you make yourself (or grows) tastes better: homemade bread, carrots or strawberries from your own garden. However, it will take a while before that is possible: mescaline cacti do not grow that fast. You can then use (parts of) the cactus later, when the cactus is larger, to experience the effects of mescaline. If you want to use mescaline, you can buy seeds from, for example, peyote or the San Pedro cactus. So they can handle it if you forget to water them. Cacti are very hardy plants and can withstand most rigors. You don't need to know about growing plants or have a green thumb. ![]() Growing a mescaline cactus yourself is fortunately not difficult at all, and also a lot of fun to do. ![]() ![]() ![]() ‘normal,’ concerns about infant health, interactions with medical Rather, peer- and community-based ideas of Sample do not uniformly subscribe to the idea that “bigger is better” Our findings suggest that, in contrast toīiomedical assumption of a single cultural model, the African-American mothers in our On the multiple factors influencing mothers’ models of child growth is importantįor understanding how mothers assess ‘normal’ and Others in the community and, whether in addition to infant size, mothers’Ĭoncerns about infant growth, diet, and health influence their assessments.
