I see, too!


Mexican Cerveza brand Tecate wants to give its cans and bottles "caracter." The brand's first redesign since 2005 includes packaging pegged to evince boldness and masculinity, which align with Tecate's "con caracter" ad campaign showing Mexican-American men working, taking care of family and playing.

from 2009 (!):
The palace is located in Ziyaret Tepe, one of three fortified cities that the Assyrians built in the northern reach of their empire on the banks of the Tigris River... So far, the team has deciphered lists of names of 144 women on the tablets who were likely employed by the palace as agricultural workers or laborers at its granary. Yet while the tablets were written in the Late Assyrian language, the women's names are not Assyrian, Matney said. That means the women may have been from local indigenous populations, or part of a mass relocation of people conquered by the Assyrians in another part of the empire, Matney said... When Matney and colleagues return to Ziyaret Tepe in 2010 to look for more tablets, they'll be racing against the clock: A planned hydroelectric dam project will swamp the region as early as 2013.
