In the dining room, the ceiling is lower and the fireplace slogan shorter: “The Honor of the House is Hospitality.” Originally the leaded-glass window with fylfots overlooked a porch between the main house and the servants’ quarters and kitchen. That area has since been enclosed and is now taken up by a cabinet-lined butler’s pantry. The kitchen beyond it dates to the 1970s, with a 2008 refresh bringing in new appliances and repainted pine cabinets (the colors inspired by a Depression-era measuring scoop). The countertops remained Formica at the urging of Mr. Bretschger’s daughter.
“Jaffa is the hottest area in Tel Aviv — the energy and authenticity, coupled with the creativity seen in the ancient architecture, the local artists, galleries and not to mention the amazing food and the sea — it’s all part of the appeal,” says Mr. Rosen, the New York City-based real estate mogul with a portfolio of more than 70 property investments and developments across the globe. “Jaffa has all the components to be the next big thing.”

He said most fashion companies have more choices for women, but Levi’s is more known for its men’s line of jeans. The company has been expanding its women’s product lines for several years, but Levi’s plans to use the cash it raised to market and develop those products more heavily.
Renderings by lead design firm West 8 envision the heart of the city’s new nature attraction as a curvaceous patchwork of beds and paths where visitors will meander through about a dozen different environments that suggest opposite ends of the earth. The plantings will also reflect the nature of Houston, with its famously diverse population of immigrants — so many visitors may find a sense of home there, or relive travels, or see something for the first time.
Levi’s also wants to make a more meaningful push into China. He noted some smaller competitors have gotten ahead of Levi’s in China. Although 20% of the apparel industry is in China, that region represents just 3% of Levi’s business.

The main problem: the entire red-winged blackbird/cowbird flock had rediscovered the bird feeders since it was cold. The group had been feeding elsewhere except for the few determined diehards that did come every day. Now, with the arctic air, everyone was here. The red-wings, many in iridescent black feathers, numbered over 75. They were accompanied by dozens of slightly smaller brown-headed cowbirds in shiny black plumage. To complicate the issue, the females and juveniles of red-wings look like large darkly streaked brown sparrows and the young or female cowbirds masqueraded as plain brown sparrows. The males arrived late morning and early evening, but the females became thick on the ground late morning to mid-afternoon. As dusk neared, all one-hundred thousand red-wings and cowbirds flew away to their roost, wherever it was, for the night.
The Chinese government, which initially refused to acknowledge the existence of such camps at all, allowed selected diplomats and journalists – including Reuters – extremely limited and curated access to a camp earlier this year.
