    U.S. Customs and Border Protection ◆ DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 19 CFR PART 12 CBP DEC. 17–03 RIN 1515–AE29 EXTENSION OF IMPORT RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED ON ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND ETHNOLOGICAL MATERIALS FROM PERU AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland Security; Department of the Treasury. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This final rule amends the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to reflect the extension of import restric- tions on certain archaeological and ethnological materials from Peru. The restrictions, which were originally imposed by Treasury Decision (T.D.) 97–50 and last extended by CBP Dec. 12–11, are due to expire on June 9, 2017, unless extended. The Acting Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States Department of State, has determined that conditions continue to warrant the imposition of import restrictions. The Designated List of archaeological and ethno- logical materials described in T.D. 97–50 is revised in this document to reflect the addition of Colonial period documents and manuscripts. Accordingly, the restrictions will remain in effect for an additional 5 years, and the CBP regulations are being amended to indicate this fourth extension. These restrictions are being extended pursuant to determinations of the United States Department of State made under the terms of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act, which implements the 1970 United Nations Educational, Scien- tific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property.

  • Ainu Ethnobiology
    Williams Ainu Ethnobiology In the last 20 years there has been an increasing focus on study of Ainu culture in Japan, the United States, and in Europe. is has resulted in a number of major exhibitions and publications such as “Ainu, Spirit of a Northern People” published in 1999 by the Ainu Ethnobiology Smithsonian and the University of Washington Press. While such e orts have greatly enhanced our general knowledge of the Ainu, they did not allow for a full understanding of the way in which the Ainu regarded and used plants and animals in their daily life. is study aims at expanding our knowledge of ethnobiology as a central component of Ainu culture. It is based in large part on an analysis of the work of Ainu, Japanese, and Western researchers working in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. Ainu Ethnobiology Dai Williams was born in Lincoln, England in 1941. He received a BA in Geography and Anthropology from Oxford University in 1964 and a MA in Landscape Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania in 1969. He spent the majority of his career in city and regional planning. His cultural research began through museum involvement in the San Francisco Bay Area. Based in Kyoto from 1989, he began research on the production and use of textiles in 19th century rural Japan. His research on the Ainu began in 1997 but primarily took place in Hokkaido between 2005 and 2009. Fieldwork focused on several areas of Hokkaido, like the Saru River Basin and the Shiretoko Peninsula, which the Ainu once occupied.

  • [Feature] Lovemarks: Engagement Gets Intimate
    [feature] Lovemarks: Engagement Gets Intimate By Richard Kern 54 ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES SEP/OCT 2010 [feature] Making an emotional connection with customers and employees is what it’s all about these days. Here’s a unique and affordable way to take those first, small steps… ver since the first crazed fan had the name and logo of his favorite rock band or sports team proudly and prominently tattooed on his arm, the lines Ebetween corporate culture, entertainment and consumerism have grown increasingly blurred. At the heart of this phenomenon is something most businesses crave: Engagement – the kind of fervent, emotional involvement that drives grown men to wear their heart on their sleeve (or the Oakland Raiders logo on their arm, as the case may be). Richard Young, Founder of the financial services and investment advisory firm Young Research & Publishing, says that motorcycle-maker Harley-Davidson has taught him an important lesson about making an emotional connection: “At the annual Harley-Davidson rally in Sturgis, SD,” he says, “the biggest draw is the tattoo competition, where the Harley logo is permanently emblazoned on every conceivable body part. This, my friend, is loyalty.” The same goes for Apple Computer loyalists who get inked with the company’s multi-hued apple logo, Nike sales reps who regularly opt to get tattoos of the famed “swoosh” and Campagnolo enthusiasts who are similarly devoted to the Italian bicycle parts maker. A recent Yahoo ad features a blonde woman with a tattoo of the company’s purple “Y” logo, as well as other familiar Yahoo icons. Rapper Xzibit sports a tattoo of the Hennessy logo (his favorite cognac), but he notes that “[Hennessy] don’t pay me s__t.
