PHILOSOPHY
At KATTRI our foremost interest is aesthetics. We draw most of the inspiration for our pieces from classic
geometry and contemporary architecture. Our designs prioratize inorganic shapes with reduced ornamentation.
Our aim, instead, is to create ornament from the structure of the piece as a whole: through an interplay of forms,
lines, colour and light. We are passionate about technology and believe the developments in the jewellery
industry during the last few decades did not contribute significantly to a surge in innovative designs We are also
keen explorers of new technologies that may open the universe of possibilities in design even further. We
understand the environmental and social challenges of mining and strive to use ethically sourced materials. The
majority of the gemstones used by KATTRI are conflict-free, sourced and cut in Brazil.

Design Works
New heights of luxury: DesignworksUSA brings a premium experience to airline passengers.
DesignworksUSA Boeing Business Jets, Embraer and Dassault Aviation, DesignworksUSA has injected
fresh impulses into the sector over recent years. On behalf of the high-profile Asian carrier and its
discerning clientele, the designers have now endowed the First Class cabin with a new look along with an
extra helping of comfort, space and privacy. The updated design for the seats and suites will make its
debut this September on board the new Boeing 777-300ER on selected flights between Singapore and
London.
Luxury atmosphere in the stratosphere.
One of the top echelons of the design sector came up with a keen challenge for DesignworksUSA: to
reconcile the aviation brief and its stringent safety standards with the luxury requirements of passengers.
Tapping into the creativity of the BMW Group subsidiary, Singapore Airlines aimed to further enhance its
First Class facilities and set new benchmarks for luxury-class comfort in the skies. The entire ambience
has been redesigned to offer passengers not only raised luxury levels but also greater privacy and
increased stowage space for luggage and travel accoutrements. In First Class the topics are luxury,
infotainment and the service quality that is expressed by design. Efficiency and functionality have priority,
says Laurenz Schaffer, President of DesignworksUSA. Our studios in Los Angeles, Shanghai and Munich
worked very closely together on these projects. Our global locations and our long standing presence in
Asia helped us to meet the demands of Singapore Airlines, as well as the expectations of international
flight passengers, Schaffer continues. DesignworksUSA draws on its expertise from many years of
working with premium customers in various mobility sectors, among them BMW and Rollce-Royce Motor
Cars, Intermarine and Zeydon Yachts.
The essence of luxury.
From the moment they board the aircraft, First Class passengers are pampered in their lounge-like islands.
In order to shield these havens of peace visually and acoustically, the outer walls of the seating area have
been extended and embrace the passenger like a protective arm. For sleeping, the luxury seat turns into a
large bed comfortable enough for reclining on ones side. At 35 inches in width and with an increased bed
length from 80 to 82 inches, the seat is one of the most spacious First Class products in the sky.
Both the design language and the colour and material concept signal maximum levels of comfort, taking
their cue from automotive interior design when it comes to passenger comfort, spatial configuration and
functionality. The design team has imbued these onboard spaces with an aura of tranquillity. Large
surfaces and elegantly sweeping lines coupled with warm, modern shades of brown within the seating
islands all evoke the ambience of a living room. Cooler grey and metallic tones on the outside, meanwhile,
clearly demarcate the private zone from its surroundings a colour concept that continues into the
carpeting to accentuate the impression of a personal cocoon.
Only high-grade materials are permitted to fly First Class. The seat is lined with fine leather, while a new
covering technique for the upholstery increases tension in the material, which remains smooth and even

Breitling for Bentley

Bentley B06
A HIGHLY EXCLUSIVE ENGINE
The Bentley B06 with its original 30-second chronograph system is being rolled out in a new
more compact version accentuating its sophisticated and sporty design.
It took to the road with a 49 mm case and now returns in a special S version with a 44 mm diameter
that is bound to appeal to devotees of fine mechanics offering a blend of elegance and performance.
The knurled pattern on the bezel, a nod to the famous Bentley radiator grills, is picked up in the
motif stamped on the black or silver dial.

But alongside its unusual eye-catching design, the Bentley B06 S is also distinguished by its
exclusive engine. Manufacture Breitling Calibre B06, entirely developed and produced in the
Breitling Chronomtrie workshops, and officially chronometer-certified, boasts an ingenious 30second chronograph system inspired by a 1926 Breitling patent.

35

Bentley B06
It involves a central hand sweeping around the dial in half a minute and thus ensuring extremely
precise eighth-of-a-second readings of the times it measures. Another worldwide exclusive
feature is the variable tachymeter with rotating bezel, serving to calculate average speeds
whatever the time elapsed, the distance covered or the speed reached. The Bentley B06 S is
available in steel or red gold and comes with a choice of a bracelet or a strap in leather, crocodile
or rubber with a central raised pattern matching the bezel. A perfect emblem of the Breitlingfor
Bentley spirit.

Merchandising
America's national food, beverage and household brands struggle to regain favor in the hearts and minds of
U.S. consumers for the fifth year in a row, according to Deloitte's annual American Pantry Study of more than
354 brands across 34 product categories.
Nearly 3 in 4 (73 percent) consumer packaged goods (CPG) categories show an overall decline in their
brands' "must-have" status, meaning that shoppers would purchase whether on sale or not. However, this
year's study also showed a drop in store brands' appeal, improved consumer perceptions of the economy, and
shoppers' willingness to pay a premium for attributes such as health and convenience which may signal a
turning point that is set to further disrupt the CPG industry after years of consumer caution.
"This is a critical moment for consumer product companies," said Barb Renner, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP
and U.S. Consumer Products leader. "While the majority of consumers say they are committed to sustained
frugality year after year, our findings point to early signs that they may finally be responding to a belated but
increasingly strong economic recovery. It creates tremendous opportunities and risks for companies in this
sector, given households' lack of commitment to national brands brought on by years of stretching dollars to
the limit. Brands that get things right can use the economy's momentum to regain their place on consumers'
shelves, but those that move too slowly could very well be left behind."
While previous years of economic stagnation fueled consumers' interest in store brands, this year's study
revealed that trend may be reversing as recession-weary consumers loosen their purse strings. The number of
consumers who view store brands as a sacrifice (43 percent) jumped 10 percentage points, while fewer
consumers (65 percent) indicate they are more open to trying store branded products, an eight percentage
point decline.
Moreover, roughly one-quarter (25 percent) of consumers indicate they are willing to pay 10 percent or more
for a product that is new or innovative, and one-third (33 percent) will do so for a craft version of food or
beverages.
Digital paves the "path to purchase"
According to the study, more than half (55 percent) of consumers turn to digital tools to research products, up
from 45 percent last year, and ahead of the number who do so to compare prices (48 percent), which
remained flat compared with last year. Additionally, 4 in 10 (37 percent) use devices to make shopping lists or
meal plans. These behaviors signal multiple points to interact with people along the path to purchase outside
of traditional discounts, from building today's list to planning next week's dinner.
Consumer packaged goods companies should note that when it comes to online orders and delivery, there is a
noticeable gap between consumers' interest levels and current activity. For example, 38 percent of consumers
are interested in online grocery orders for in-store pick up, but only 11 percent already use this service.
Similarly, 27 percent are interested in home delivery orders placed online for recurring purchases, but only 11
percent already use such a service. The study suggests there may be a shortage of services consumers seek,
creating significant unmet demand that CPG companies can pursue for growth.

HKTDC Hong Kong

Fashion Week for
Spring/Summer
HKTDC Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring/Summer - the ideal global marketplace to launch or to source the latest
Spring/Summer collections, will take place from 6-9 July 2015 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Entering
the 22nd edition, the trade fair is expecting around 1,200 exhibitors from 20 countries and regions. The fashion event presents to
industry players a golden opportunity to converge and share market trends and intelligence.

As the fashion hub of Asia, Hong Kong hosts exhibitors from all over the world to showcase collections with a cosmopolitan blend of
the best of East and West. Creating a global overview of style trends for the coming seasons, the Hong Kong Fashion Week for
Spring/Summer opens up opportunities for market expansion with reference to the attendance of nearly 17,000 buyers from 71
countries and regions in the 2014 edition. The result attests to the strong industry support for the show.

This year, the Fashion Week adopts the theme Tribal Safari Into the Wild. Traditional tribal elements are used to create a
fusion of cultural heritage, natural purity and surprising modernity, bringing a unique and fresh ambiance to the fair.

To optimise buyers sourcing experience, various theme zones are designed according to different fashion categories. For example,
the largest zone Fashion Gallery which puts designer labels and top brands on stage, is designed in response to consumers
demand for items with recognisable brands and decent quality. Innovative garments will be featured in International Fashion
Designers Showcase.

Men are increasingly concerned about the clothes coming to their wardrobes. According to Mintel, global luxury mens wear sales
will reach US$18 trillion in 2016 compared with US$16 trillion dollars in 2012. The zone Men In Style are set up to cater to the
markets needs.

Apart from menswear, another major driving force of clothing market appears to be the children in the coming years, particularly in
the traditional markets. According to the Global Industry Analysts, the global market for childrens wear is expected to reach
US$173.6 billion by the year 2017. In light of the economic recovery, parents are becoming more willing and able to pamper their
children with more exquisite apparel. Besides, the growing awareness on health and quality of life increases the demand for
functional clothing. Along with the rapid development of functional clothing innovation, apparel with various functions can easily be
found in the market. Hence, Infant & Childrens Wear and Active & Swim Wear are set up in Fashion Week accordingly. Other
zones include Emporium de Mode, World of Fashion Accessories, Handbags Select, Fabrics & Yarn and more.

A series of fashion shows and runway parades will go alongside the Fashion Week, unveiling new apparel collections in a lively and
vivid way. Local new design force is also ready to show international buyers their made-in-Hong-Kong creativity by staging the
highlighted show FASHIONALLY. Desirable brand names will introduce their newest offerings in the visual splendour of the Brand
Collection shows.

Apart from sourcing, the Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring/Summer is also a perfect platform to gather industry information. The
top trend forecasters such as WGSN Group and Fashion Snoops are in attendance to speak at seminars, while Buyers Forum

NASA
NASA will send an international crew to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean this summer
to prepare for future deep space missions during the 14-day NASA Extreme
Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) 20 expedition slated to begin July 20.
NEEMO 20 will focus on evaluating tools and techniques being tested for future
spacewalks on a variety of surfaces and gravity levels ranging from asteroids to the
moons of Mars and the Martian surface.
"The NEEMO team is particularly excited about this mission as it is a huge milestone
to have achieved 20 missions at Aquarius over the past 15 years," NEEMO Project
Lead Bill Todd said. "Living and working in the highly operational, isolated and
extreme environment of the aquatic realm has provided significant science and
engineering for the benefit of human spaceflight. It has also clearly proven to be as
close to spaceflight as is possible here on Earth."
The mission will test time delays in communications due to the distance of potential
mission destinations. The crew also will assess hardware sponsored by the European
Space Agency (ESA) that allows crew members to read the next step in a procedure
without taking their hands or eyes away from the task using a tablet, a smartphone
and a head-mounted interface.
ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano will command the NEEMO 20 mission aboard the
Aquarius laboratory. Parmitano flew in space during Expeditions 36 and 37 aboard the
International Space Station in 2013, where he spent 166 days living and working in
the extreme environment of microgravity. He conducted two spacewalks on his first
spaceflight.
Parmitano will be joined by NASA astronaut Serena Aunon, NASA EVA Management
Office engineer David Coan and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut

Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology
companies to create breakthrough designs, today announced a small-sized motor driver IC for DC brushed motors
deborah.chalmers@taec.toshiba.c

used in vehicle engine applications such as electronic throttles and valve controls. The new TB9051FTG, housed in a
lgmartin@mcapr.com

om

small, flat 6mm x 6mm P-QFN28 package, employs double-diffused MOSFET (DMOS FET) transistors as driver
circuits.
As with its recently announced line of DMOS FET transistor arrays, Toshiba selected DMOS FET devices for the
TB9051FTG driver circuits. As these devices do not require base current biasing, they have virtually no input current,
which lets them process high current density per device area with low on-resistance. This enables low output voltage
drop in turn, allowing the new motor driver IC to operate with a high degree of efficiency.
"These new motor driver ICs, due to their small size and underlying technology, have the flexibility to enable control of
a range of automotive electronics not only engine applications, which are the primary target, but also other on-board
systems, such as wing mirrors and trunk locks, operating at up to 5 amps," said Deepak Mithani, senior director,
Mixed-Signal Business Unit, System LSI Group at TAEC. "Moreover, because user safety is paramount, Toshiba has
carried out a range of functional safety analyses to simulate various system failures, and we supply this
documentation to our customers to further support their design-in process."
The new TB9051FTG motor driver IC features a single, H-bridge channel and ultra-low on-resistance of 0.34 ohm (Hside + L-side, max). Its two power supplies, VBAT and VCC, operate at 4.5V to 28V and 4.5V to 5.5V, respectively.
Control functions include motor-related (forward, reverse, brake), as well as PWM control, current limit control, H-side
current monitor, diagnosis output and power-on-reset (POR) circuit. Built-in detection circuits include over current,
over heat, and low/high voltage.
Availability
Sample shipments will start in September 2015, with mass production scheduled to start in October 2016.

heese-509523021.html
The "Queso tipo Manchego" is a very popular cheese in Mexico and can also be found here in the U.S. The
name is a misuse of the word "Manchego", as the Mexican version has nothing to do with the original Spanish
PDO Manchego Cheese. "You can taste the difference and recognize it by its appearance," says the
President of the Regulating Council, Ignacio Barco. Just learn the main features that make Manchego cheese
such an authentic and unique product.

1.- The Origin
If the cheese is not made in La Mancha, Spain, it's not real Manchego. La Mancha, a region located in the
heart of Spain, is the ecosystem where the Manchega sheep roams. Manchego cheese can only be produced
with milk from this exclusive sheep, a breed which has remained the same throughout the centuries and
which gives a very unique taste to its milk.
2.- The Council's Guarantee
If it doesn't have the Manchego Cheese Regulating Council seal, it's not authentic. Each Manchego cheese
should be made following ancient traditions and very strict standards. A set of rules were created by the EU
under a specific legal framework - very well known in Europe but not much in the States -to protect the
reputation of quality regional foods, promote rural development and support agricultural activity.
3.- The Look
If it doesn't meet the following criteria, it's not real Manchego.

A cylindrical shape and a firm, compact consistency. Both the flat top and bottom, known as the flor,
and the sides, known as the pleita, have a distinctive pattern which characterizes the cheese.

Whittier Street Health Center

BOSTON, June 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It is now well known that the census tract with the lowest life
expectancy in Boston is in Roxbury, the urban neighborhood where the average resident lives just 58.9 years.
Three miles away, in the toney upscale Back Bay, the average life expectancy is 91.9 years a 33-year age
difference.
Much of the disparity in life expectancy in neighborhoods in Boston, and other urban communities across the
country, is determined by differences in access to medical care, diet and opportunities for exercise and fitness
activities. Whittier Street Health Center, one of Boston's leading community health centers, is aiming to
change these startling statistics with the opening of its new Wellness and Fitness Club, on Saturday, June
27. Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh will preside at the Grand Opening.
The new 6,600-square-foot Whittier Wellness and Fitness Club, a much-needed onsite fitness center, will be
one of the most comprehensive of its type in the region, located in a culturally diverse community. It will offer
a broad array of services and activities, ranging from a physical fitness coach, exercise machines, classes in
aerobics, yoga and Zumba, a life coach, and a pediatric healthy weight coordinator. The launch of the
Wellness and Fitness Club comes on the heels of the opening of the center's Community Garden on week
earlier. The garden, tended to by volunteers from the neighborhood, will improve residents' access to fresh
fruits and vegetables in the community and offer a relaxing space in an urban neighborhood.
"Our new Wellness and Fitness Club will address the disparities in health in diverse communities, in particular
the challenges people of color face in getting and staying healthy," said Frederica M. Williams, President and
CEO of the Whittier Street Health Center. "The Wellness and Fitness Club will offer members an opportunity
to get actively involved in their health in a variety of methods so that they can be healthy, feel great and reach
their wellness and fitness goals."
The Health Center is taking a revolutionary approach to addressing heath disparities. Patients can request a
Prescription for Health from their Primary Care Physician, Psychiatrist or Bay State Physical Therapist. Each
prescription will be tailored to their individual needs. The program can include a configuration of prescribed
services, such as yoga, dance, nutritional tips, physical fitness, life coaching or acupuncture. A Life Coach will
meet with the patient to formulate their Prescription for Health, schedule attendance among the activity
groups, and incorporate nutrition groups and acupuncture. Patients of the Whittier can become members of
the new Wellness and Fitness Club on a month-to-month basis for just $10 per month.
The opening of the Wellness and Fitness Club will also mark the 15th anniversary of the health center's
annual Men's Health Summit, which is free and open to all.

Meeting Planners the Ideal Union Square Location and
Views for San Francisco Meetings

SAN FRANCISCO, June 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Grand Hyatt San Francisco and The Westin St. Francisannounce a ne
partnership, Union Square Alliance. This exciting collaboration pairs two of San Francisco'slargest hotels to provide guest
rooms and meeting space for groups looking for an iconic and convenient San Francisco convention experience.
Grand Hyatt San Francisco and The Westin St. Francis both border San Francisco's famed Union Square, and boast

incredible views from their 36th Floor and 32nd Floor premiere meeting rooms, respectively. While both properties have hig

demand for business and leisure travelers, the unique needs of small and medium groups led them to join forces to create
a program for mid-sized conventions that are looking for a landmark San Francisco meeting location.

"Grand Hyatt and The Westin St. Francis are two of San Francisco's most historic properties. We offer a combined 86,000
square feet of meeting space, 1,000 weekday guest rooms and 1,250 weekend guest rooms. Additionally, our proximity to
Union Square allows companies to host events in Union Square's incredible plaza, which can accommodate up to 1,000
people for a private, tented event, and have guests stay just steps away," remarked Judy Cronkhite, director of sales and
marketing for Grand Hyatt San Francisco.
"We have joined forces because we see a growing need in San Francisco for mid-sized meetings that want to be close to
the mid-Market tech hub, and also desire meeting space that shows off the spectacular views that both The Westin St.
Francis and Grand Hyatt offer from our 32nd and 36th floors," said Elaine Clancy, director of sales and marketing for The
Westin St. Francis.
The Union Square Alliance will allow meeting planners greater flexibility by being able to spread meeting space and guest
rooms across the two properties, while remaining nearby. The two properties are just one block apart and both border
Union Square. Group rates are available.

London 2015. Image credits Andy Barnham. Masterpiece London 2015, in association
with Principal Sponsor Royal Bank of Canada, resulted in strong sales to private
collectors and international institutions alike. Held for the sixth year at the Royal
Hospital, Chelsea, many exhibitors saved their very finest pieces to unveil and sales
across all principle categories supported the Fair's ethos of 'cross-collecting'. The fair
saw record visitor numbers of 40,000, a significant increase on 2014, and an influx of
international collectors, a number of whom stated that they had flown into London to
enjoy Masterpiece Week and the capital at the height of the season.
Of the 2015 Fair, Nazy Vassegh, CEO of Masterpiece London commented It has
been an absolute privilege to oversee the 6th edition of Masterpiece London in
association with Royal Bank of Canada. All our exhibitors, partners and sponsors
have contributed a huge amount of time and energy to help make this the best
Masterpiece to date. London has a long and rich heritage at the heart of the art
market and we are delighted to be at the very epicentre of this busy summer season."
Hugh Gibson of Thomas Gibson Fine Art commented Masterpiece 2015 has been a
very successful Fair for us. We have made sales to both new and existing clients. It
has rapidly
become a permanent fixture and meeting point for both international collectors and
the wider art market in London.
Jonathan Carter of Carter Marsh & Co added Masterpiece has been astonishing. We
were delighted to be able to offer such an extraordinary collection at the Fair, but have
been overwhelmed by how well it has been received and by the quality of collectors in
attendance.
David Gill of David Gill Gallery commented I was delighted with the exceptional
quality of all aspects of the fair. As a first time exhibitor it was a pleasure to participate
at a fair that is becoming a very important part of the yearly calendar.
Jonathan Green, CEO of Richard Green, added "Our first year at Masterpiece London 94

WASHINGTON, June 29, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today in Chicago, the National Black Chamber
of Commerce (NBCC) joined the Illinois Black Chamber of Commerce and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
for an important public discussion on the economic consequences of the Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) proposed ground level ozone rule on the state's economy and jobs.
"Our nation is starting to regain its economic footing and the EPA's proposed rule will knock us back on our
heels. States, cities and counties will be especially hard hit as they will shoulder the brunt of the economic
burden resulting from this rule," NBCC president and CEO Harry Alford said. "Today's forum was an
opportunity for local leaders to sit down and discuss how their communities and businesses will be affected.
And the resounding conclusion was - significantly."
"This ozone regulation would be the costliest in history, stalling development in communities across the
nation. And arguably, those most at risk of losing out on future economic growth and job opportunities are
urban areas like Chicago that will be disproportionately impacted." Alford continued.
The EPA's proposal would reduce Illinois' Gross State Product by over $50 billion from 2017 to 2040 and
jeopardize 35,000 jobs annually.
Alford concluded, "The administration should be working with businesses to encourage them to expand and
grow, providing good-paying jobs to Americans. Instead, they continue to pile on another expensive
regulation at a time when businesses, manufacturers and families are making a comeback."

NATIONAL PARKS
WASHINGTON, June 29, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Summer finally arrived,
bringing with it soaring temperatures and a stifling grip on the forecast. But it also
means the kids are out of school, vacation requests are being put in, and the longer
days can be filled with exciting ventures in national parks!
Some of this nation's best playgrounds are preserved within the National Park
System, including scenic rivers, vast lakes, and spectacular coastal waters. With
copious options across the country, why not beat the heat in a national park?
Here are twelve refreshing ideas from the National Park Foundation about how you
can create unforgettable memories and find your park this summer:
1. Take a relaxing stroll along the beach and trails of Cape Cod National Seashore
(Massachusetts). With 44,600 acres to explore, you're bound to enjoy the
variety of animal and plant life that thrive in the different ecosystems protected
within the park.
2. Plunge into the deepest lake in the U.S. at Crater Lake National Park (Oregon).
After a steep and strenuous 1.1-mile hike along Cleetwood Cove Trail, your
efforts will be rewarded with a swim in the cool piercing-blue waters of the
1,943-feet deep lake.
3. Explore the remote canyons of Dinosaur National Monument (Colorado, Utah)
on a raft. The Green and Yampa Rivers offer thrill-seekers class three and four
rapids, and the latter includes the Maytag hydraulic (known for flipping boats).
4. Glide across the deep turquoise waters of Lake Powell the largest man-made
lake in North America by boat at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
(Arizona, Utah). You'll be sure to appreciate the stark contrast of the water and

SAN ANTONIO, July 5, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The wait is finally over: The San Antonio Missions
have officially been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The decision was announced on July 5th at
the annual UNESCO World Heritage committee meeting in Bonn, Germany. An elite list with just 22 existing
U.S. landmarks included, the five Missions (including The Alamo) are taking their place among other great
American historic and cultural institutions like the Statue of Liberty and Independence Hall, in addition to
natural treasures such as the Grand Canyon and world wonders like the Great Wall of China. The Missions,
which are the largest collection of the Spanish colonial architecture in the U.S., are the third designation in the
country in the last 20 years.
San Antonio's Missions symbolize an era when the world was expanding, cultures were intertwining, and the
global landscape was forever changed. It's time now to "Remember the Alamo," the first San Antonio
Mission.
"The United States has a powerful and valuable history that encompasses a wide range of peoples, creeds
and experiences," said Crystal Nix-Hines, U.S. ambassador and permanent representative to UNESCO. "The
San Antonio Missions represent an important element of our story, and a World Heritage designation allows
them to be shared not only within the U.S. but also the wider global community."
Susan Snow, archeologist for San Antonio Missions National Historical Park who has been coordinating the
community efforts to secure UNESCO World Heritage status since 2007, said, "The San Antonio Missions are
a tangible representation of everything required for a functioning Spanish colonial mission system, all within a
short trek along the San Antonio River. These Missions are a living example of the interchange of cultures
bringing together the indigenous, Spanish, Mexican, and other influences that form South Texas today. The
resulting cross-cultural exchange is the very essence of the great melting pot of the United States."
"San Antonio has grown to become the nation's seventh-largest city while preserving the iconic history upon
which it was built," said Casandra Matej, Executive Director of the San Antonio Convention & Visitors Bureau. 134

way of life that is being eroded by
modernization, efforts in which include
celebrating not only the Dragon Boat Festival
but other traditional festivals such as the
Chinese New Year, the Wealth God Festival
and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Zhouzhuang in Four Seasons" is another
performance held in Zhouzhuang to reveal
the original ecology, regional culture and
local folk customs of the ancient water town,
and it is now a model of preserving traditional
culture in the modern industrial era. The
main purpose for Zhouzhuang to stage this
event is to retainZhouzhuang's lifestyle so
visitors can recall their fading memories of
traditions and customs.
With a cast of 300 professional actors,
dancers and a group of locals who resume
their own roles as farmers, fishermen and
town residents, the 60 minute show retraces
Zhouzhuang to the Ming Dynasty (13681644), andrecreates traditions such as
greeting the God of Wealth, singing fishing
songs and picking lotus roots. The show is
featured on a stage on water, making the
show more interactive and realistic.
"Many of our residents have been living here
for generations." Zou explained, "all of our
cultural heritage hasbeen passed down from
one generation to another. It is not only a
historic and cultural treasure for research,
but also an opportunity for locals as well as
urban inhabitants to rediscover their cultural
roots."
About Zhouzhuang
Known as the "Venice of the East," the
historic water town Zhouzhuang is praised
for its tranquil natural scenery and
unparalleled cultural experience. The 900year-old town is separated by canals and
linked by ancient bridges. It is a well-
