Because this nightmare is a very real problem .. When a child is missing, it is the most emotionally exhausting experience a family may ever face. To help parents take action if this tragedy should ever occur, WKJF -AM and WKJF -FM organized a program to provide the most precise child identification possible. These Fetzer radio stations contacted a local video movie dealer and the Cadillac area Jaycees to create video prints of each participating child as the youngster talked and moved. Afterwards, area law enforce- ment agencies were given the video tape for their permanent files. WKJF -AM/FM organized and publicized the program, the Jaycees donated man- power, and the video movie dealer donated the taping services-all absolutely free to the families. The child video print program enjoyed area -wide participation and is scheduled for an update. Providing records that give parents a fighting chance in the search for missing youngsters is all a part of the Fetzer tradition of total community involvement.

  • The New Research of Tuva
    НОВЫЕ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ ТУВЫ THE NEW RESEARCH OF TUVA www.nit.tuva.asia №1 2021 Novye issledovaniia Tuvy DOI: 10.25178/nit.2021.1.5 Article The Scythian Stag in Contemporary Arts and Craft: Tuva and Abroad Katherine Zeahan Leung Independent scholar, USA The article examines the interest in Scythian imagery and motifs in contemporary arts and crafts, both in Tuva and outside Russia, on a surge after the excavation of Arzhan II burial site. As proved by numerous references, the most popular of the Arzhan II finds was the stylized image of the Scythian stag on a golden hair pin. It has since appeared on the photo taken by Russian photographer Andrei Bronnikov, whose main subject is jewelry. Tattoo artists in English-speaking regions have seen an uptick in customers requesting Scythian stag tattoo designs, due in large part to the discovery of the popularly dubbed “Ukok Princess” and increase in interest in prehistoric fantasy media. Russian-speaking fashion designers redefine textile and ornament in the twenty-first century, influenced by the golden accents of the looped stag in their work, at times inventing an embellished narrative of the past. Folk crafters have created costume and jewelry designs for a different world they wish to inhabit, even creating alter-egos and stories that accompany Scythian-inspired pieces. Finally, within Tuva, wood carving continues thanks to trailblazers that promote folk handicrafts through education and archival work. Artists around the world are fascinated by this unique relic of the past and employ the symbol in romantic imaginings of their past and present.

    Panel 1A: International Affairs and State Policy Persia Goudarzi [email protected] University of California, Los Angeles Majors: Aerospace Engineering and Russian Studies “Alliances of the East: How the Interplay between NATO Enlargement and Russia’s Balance-of- Power Policy Has Undermined Western Interests” This article examines the development of Russia’s foreign policy in relation to eastward expansion of NATO in the post-Cold War era. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia, economically in disarray and militarily weak, was eager to integrate with the West and envisaged a partnership with NATO. However, integration with the alliance appeared unlikely when NATO expansion created a European security structure that excluded Russia. To balance the power with NATO, Russia began looking for alternatives in Asia. Moscow’s top foreign policy agenda became strengthening ties with the East and forming alliances. The first alliance, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), is a Eurasian military organization, essentially a factor for political and military deterrence, comprising of 6 states from the former Soviet Union. The second alliance is the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), primarily focused on security cooperation among its members. The two organizations cooperate politically, militarily and economically. CSTO and SCO together create a military bloc with deterrence capabilities and security missions that resembles that of NATO, forming a counter structure to NATO in the East. Through these two alliances, Russia has managed to establish control over a strategically important region that holds half of the world’s natural gas reserves and 25% of all oil reserves. The region is geopolitically important for NATO operations in combating terrorism in Afghanistan and transferring troops and equipment to that country.
