For #Caturday:

Ceramic bottle modeled in the form of a standing feline, decorated with resist-painted motif. Gallinazo style (aka Virú culture), NW Peru, Early Intermediate Period, c. 200 BCE - 600 CE. Spotted at the American Museum of Natural History NYC.

PS: this vessel may depict the Peruvian subspecies of Pampas Cat aka Northern Colocolo (Leopardus colocola garleppi). The Andean Mountain Cat (Leopardus jacobita) is also often suggested, but their range is more southern and higher elevation than where the Virú were? Also note the stripier legs on the Colocolo similar to the ceramic:

The Amazon Rainforest Could Be Dry wordpress plugins  ing Out

In the past few years, the Amazon rainforest in Peru’s Ucayali region has been hit by two severe droughts, one in 2005 and another in 2010. These dry spells could become more frequent as temperatures in the tropical North Atlantic Ocean continue to rise and as thousands of square kilometers of forest are burnt to make way for farming.

The scientists presented their find industrial LTE router  ings on December 7 at the American Geophysical Union meeting. This region has seen warmer temperatures in the past, but th Industrial 3G Router  e western Amazon is under siege now from a combination of a warming climate and human population growth, something it has never faced before. The current protected areas might not be enough to buffer against the upcoming changes.

Migration from the Andean highlands has boosted Peru’s Amazonian states to the top of the population growth charts, and the heavy influx of people has started to take its toll on the forest. The country has lost about 6,475 square kilometers of forest, which is an area the size of Delaware, between 2005 and 2009. This number is up from a loss of 4,550 square kilometers in the five previous years. This loss translated into reduced precipitation, further stressing the remaining trees. About 50% of the rainfall of the Amazon is generated by the forest itself, through transpiration and evaporation. Deforestation exacerbates the drought problem, removing an internal engine that boosts precipitation.

Clearing fields and pastures leaves more exposed forest edges, drying out the interior and making it more likely to burn if agricultural fires escape. During 2005 and 2010, fires added 3.8 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere. Recen gprs  t studies have found that Amazonian trees have weathered past climatic warming, but the changes were slower and not exacerbated anthropogenically.

Trees can acclimate, species can either adapt, migrate, or simply go extinct, states Kenneth Feeley, a biologist at the Florida International University. A floral species could expand its range into a cooler region, but only as fast as seed dispersal allows. There have already been changes in the eastern slope of the Peruvian Andes. Species are moving upslope at about 3 vertical meters a year, which is fast but this might not be fast enough. They need to move between 9 or 10 vertical meters a year.

Deforestation in the lowlands reduces the areas to which species can spread. Fields, pastures, and road create barriers to dispersal. Peru has large protected areas, but scientists aren’t sure whether these are big enough or in the right places, to allow species to migrate in a rapidly changing climate.

Rainfall, geology, and topography in the western Amazon have given rise to a mosaic of ecosystems that are so diverse that they are virtually unknown, states Asner, a tropical ecologist at the Carnegie Institution for Science at Stanford University. Scientists have little data on which to base their conservation plans.

Så sista dagen på SKIP 2017 är genomförd!

Helt sjukt att jag redan har bott i Peru i över 3 månader och därmed har mer än halva min tid på SKIP passerat. Det har varit himla tydligt att alla har varit väldigt redo och i behov av ledighet nu de sista 2 veckorna. Tydligen förra året vid denna tiden var de 25 volontärer vi har varit mellan 7-9 de senaste 2 månaderna jag varit här. Inte jättekonstigt att bördan av 120 dryga familjer har tröttnat ut oss. Men jag är grymt nöjd och glad över vad jag har fått göra och uppleva dessa 3 månader.

Idag hade vi "la chocolatada" vilket är julavslutningen på SKIP innan 1 månads sommaruppehåll. Huvudsysslan denna dag är att dricka varm choklad med kanel och äta Paneton (italiensk typ sockerkaka med frukt och russin). Genom att företag och bagerier donerade bjöd vi inte bara på detta på plats utan delade även ut ut varsin Paneton till alla familjer inskriva på SKIP. Utöver dessa nyttigheter spelade vi upp en teater, sjöng, lekte lekar och målade ansiktsmålningar. Jag var i teatergruppen och detta var ytterligare ett tillfälle då jag irriterande mig på "the peruvian way of life" ingenting är genomtänkt och planen att vi skulle spela upp samma teater 25 gånger a 15 min per teater kändes helt sjukt. Som tur var räckte det att vi spelade upp den 18 ggr men kan väl känna att det hade räckt med kanske 5 gånger...

Men men jag överlevde dagen och ni som känner mig vet jag jag alltid maxar min tid så jag sitter redan på flygplatsen och inväntar flyg 1av 3 som ska ta mig till Mexico city 😁

Hasta la Vista baby ☀🤗😍

A Surge in Custom Jewelry Sales During the Holidays

Holidays are the season of giving and gifting. Jewelers usually experience big sales during this time of the year. But of late off-the-shelf pieces have been receiving much less attention than personalized custom-designed jewelry.

Mostly engagement rings and wedding bands, people hoard local jewelers with requests for custom jewelry. This is part of the mass deviation from generic diamond jewelry and popular styles.

According to Luke Whittaker, the key for jewelers is to listen to their customers. Read this interesting piece from the Daily Astorian.

The holiday season is an important season for businesses across the spectrum, but the season of giving is particularly important for jewelers big and small.

Thirty-three percent of all engagements happen between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, according to WeddingWire, a wedding planning site. That fact, plus Christmas presents, means the period accounts for 36 percent of jewelry store sales, according figures from the Economics & Statistics Administration.

“Twenty-five percent of engagements happen during the holidays, which is significant,” said Holly, co-owner of McHone Jewelers along with her husband Kevin.

“We do 25 percent of our business during the holidays. That’s typical,” she said. Crafting custom jewelry is the focus for the business, located at 1150 Commercial Street in Astoria.

“We’re always busy with custom pieces around the holidays,” she said. The nature of the giving season lends to increased sales.

“Then there’s the sentimental nature of giving something personal,” McHone said. “Jewelry is very popular for that.”

Alternative stones, metals popular

Since opening their doors more than 12 years ago, the family-run jewelry business has witnessed trends in the industry and has built their business around listening to the customer.

“We still predominantly see diamonds for engagements and wedding,” McHone said. “But saphires in any color are becoming more popular. If you want something different, you can go with a sapphire and make it more unique.” A preference for silver has since shifted to varying colors of gold.

“Everybody wanted white gold,” McHone said. “But now they’re going more with yellow gold.” Aside from traditional silver and gold rings, the store started carrying alternative metal pieces about eight years ago with a growing demand for more durable rings. With a hardness twice that of traditional gold and silver, alloys such as titanium have become more popular, particularly for those in more rugged occupations including logging and fishing.

“They’re a great alternative for guys who use their hands a lot,” McHone said. Titanium is also corrosion resistant and more durable for when working in the wet environments that are prevalent in the Pacific Northwest. The store also creates jewelry with local stones and agates.

“A lot of people love that we have Oregon stones,” McHone said.

“We have Oregon sunstone, opal and agates. Keeping it local is very important not only for Oregon customers but also our tourists.”

Designing the perfect piece

The material and shape of a ring is not only influenced by personality, preference and budget, but also profession. A ring designed for the rigors of logging or fishing profession would come with a different set of considerations compared to a piece destined for someone medical field, where wearing gloves necessitates a lower profile.

“A lot of people in the medical field need a lower profile because they’re putting gloves on all the time,” McHone said. The custom jewelry is designed using a computer-aided design and drafting program (CADD).

“We can do just about any design you can think of. We design just about everything with CADD program,” McHone said. “And we then mill a wax model or we use our new 3D printer.” The possibilities for custom jewelry creation are nearly limitless, one customer, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer, had a ring crafted from a piece of steel he hung off of while in the helicopter. It typically takes four to six weeks from design to construction when it comes to custom jewelry. In-house laser repairs is also available making extensive jewelry repair possible.

“We’ve just always tried to keep evolving and changing with technology within the business, not just designs,” McHone said.

“The most important aspect is listening to the customer, so they get what they want.”
