Polymer clay is a putty, so it's easy to get into the mindset that we must always use textures or forms to press/push it to make a design. But you can also build complex shapes with it. It can be quite challenging, requiring planning, multiple baking cycles, and a even some cutting/carving/sanding. This bottle's just over 6" high and 3" across. It is open inside and could easily be used to hold liquids. It would made a nifty vase.

“I am happy when I do something voluntarily. I want to help every single person if possible,” says Nilab.
“Doing something voluntarily keeps you down to earth and doesn’t give you an ego.” She adds.
Volunteerism is also an important vehicle for sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development explicitly recognises volunteer groups as stakeholders to achieve the 17 SDGs.
Many of the SDGs call for long-term attitude and behavior changes - for example, in the way we live together or in the way we consume. Volunteers facilitate change in mindsets by raising awareness and inspiring others.
“My ambition is big, as big as the SDGs,” says Shugofa Ayub, a project officer UNV working on the SDGs. “Through our work as volunteers, I believe we can achieve it.”
104 UN Volunteers contribute to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Afghanistan. This include 20 National and 83 internationals. A total of 43 UNVs in UNDP, 1 in UNICEF, 1 with UNWOMEN, 68 with UN Mission, 1 UNFPA, and 1 with the World Bank.

STORY:
Imagine a situation where just going to school puts your life at risk.
Under Taliban rule in Afghanistan, this was the situation for Nilab Aria and many others. In second grade, she had to be homeschooled by her mother. Nilab had been forced to wear a burqa since she was eight years old.
Today, Nilab is a United Nations Volunteer. Her passion for education and professionalism started back then.
Hidden from sight, and from the Taliban, she took short courses in English and Science in a basement, where she studied by a candlelight. As an additional precaution, the students were forced to pretend that that they were taking Islamic studies, the only studies permitted under the Taliban regime.
One day, however, someone informed the Taliban, and the underground classes were closed for a time. The Taliban threated death for anyone who attempted to attend any classes.
My hero, my inspiration:
Recently, another difficult period in Nilab’s life. She lost her father. “Knowing that my father is no longer with us is the worst memory of my life. He was my hero and my inspiration.”
Her father died of a heart attack when he was in their hometown in Nijrab district of Kapisa province, helping his fellow villagers build clean water systems.
Nilab is the eldest sibling in her family. She has one brother and five sisters. After their loss, she is the sole breadwinner in the family.
“Right before he died, he called us and asked each of us one by one what he should bring us from our village.” She inherited her spirit of helping people from her father.
During the 1960s, when most people were highly conservative and had no interest on education, her father was the first man in town to put her aunts and other family members through school.
It was a common tradition in their family that a girl is married as soon as she reaches the final classes of school but her father was different. He wanted her first to achieve her dreams and be able to stand on her own feet.
Unwavering Spirit for volunteerism:
While Nilab was pursuing her undergraduate studies, she also worked with a local NGO that works to end violence against women and sexual harassment. She worked during the day and attended university in the evening.
She has been volunteering since her school days. She did not think so much of the money she would earn, because her goal was to learn as much as she could and help to bring positive change and peace in Afghanistan.
In Sept 2017, she was successfully selected as an intern for UNDP. Her internship was later extended and she applied for a UNV post as Finance Associate with the elections project, UNESP.
UN Volunteers are highly motivated, qualified individuals, committed to the principles and ideals of the United Nations. They complement and strengthen the work of UN entities, public institutions and civil society organizations.
“As a UN Volunteer, you are not only contributing to peace and development, but also helping, caring, meeting new people, and there is an exchange of cultural values” says Nilab.
Today, International Volunteers Day 2018 focuses on the values of volunteerism through the appreciation of local volunteers, including marginalized groups and women, who make up nearly 60 per cent of volunteers worldwide, and their impact on building Resilient Communities.
“I am happy when I do something voluntarily. I want to help every single person if possible,” says Nilab.
“Doing something voluntarily keeps you down to earth and doesn’t give you an ego.” She adds.

Shimon Gibson marvels at a depth of irony that's borderline mythological: While digging up Jerusalem's past, he's also digging up his own.

The UNC Charlotte adjunct professor of archaeology has been co-directing an annual dig on Jerusalem's Mount Zion that returns him to the historic, mysterious region he first explored as an 8-year-old. The UNCC team is using maps Gibson made in 1975 – at age 17 – as it uncovers unprecedented findings that provide important clues about life in first-century Jerusalem.
“This dig is the only academic archaeological expedition currently working in Jerusalem,” said Gibson, 57, an English native. “UNCC did some probes in the early 2000s, but it was in 2006 and 2007 that we really started excavating.”
This summer his crew has continued to investigate a finished bathroom it discovered in 2013, on the lower levels of what it believes to be an early Roman mansion. The team also found another complete vaulted room, again easing decades of concerns by archaeologists that remains from first-century Jerusalem were poorly preserved.

“These remains are extraordinarily well preserved,” Gibson said, “such that not only do we have the complete basements of houses with their rooms intact, but also the first story of these houses are also very well preserved. This is truly amazing.”
Reasons for the buildings' condition are twofold, he said: Occupying Romans destroyed the Jerusalem of Jesus' era in AD 70. The city was deserted for 65 years, until the Roman emperor Hadrian rebuilt a city on the ruins. “Then, in the Byzantine period (AD 330-1453), the buildings were filled in so the area could be flattened in order to build houses and structures on the top.”
Because of the elaborate nature of objects found in these buildings and their proximity to an excavated mansion in the nearby Jewish Quarter, “we surmise that the houses either belong to aristocrats, or probably to well-to-do priestly families,” Gibson said. If this can be verified – ideally via an inscription or document – the find may provide details about the lives of those who ruled Jerusalem at the time of Jesus.
One UNCC discovery underscoring this opulence was the largest number of murex shells ever found in the ruins of Jerusalem during that period. Murex – a Mediterranean sea snail – was coveted due to a rich purple dye that could be extracted.
Gibson said many of the tools used in digs haven't changed over the years – pickaxes, hoes, trowels, brushes used for cleaning, buckets for carrying. He credited technological advances and a more sophisticated approach to digs as primary factors in the team's finds.
An example: “In the 1970s, they excavated on the southern side of Jerusalem the remains of a medieval gate that dated to the beginning of the 13th century. Nothing was known about the area outside the gate.

“Well, this season, we know because of new scientific techniques of microarchaeology,” which involves taking soil samples. “We were able to determine once and for all that this area was a marketplace. So outside of the gate of the city was a marketplace where they specialized in the selling of chicken eggs and fish.”
Another newer approach is counting pot shards. “By charting these millions, billions of pot shards statistically, we can trace the movement of different types of vessels that date back thousands of years. This is a main way of dating for archaeologists.… Also, there's all kinds of technology that can record and visualize remains that didn't exist 40 years ago.”
Gibson says the mindset of archaeologists has evolved as well: “Forty years ago, it was all about getting down to the bottom as quickly as possible and unearthing the earlier remains as quickly as possible. Now we're much more sensitive to the academic questions that are being asked about certain periods of time.”

James Tabor, a professor in UNCC's department of religious studies, met Gibson during an excavation after the archaeologist had been studying agricultural landscapes in the area of Ein Karem, the traditional hometown of John the Baptist. Tabor said their collaboration is part of an unusually large community effort.
“Eighty percent of funding for these digs comes from the Charlotte community,” Tabor said. “These people aren't just writing checks. We get people of all ages and faiths who join us on these digs,” which he said typically last about four weeks and cost $100,000 a week.
He's excited about future possibilities. Gibson, who has lived in Jerusalem and conducted digs there most of his life, will teach a UNCC course on the history of Jerusalem this fall. Tabor hopes public tours will be available at some of the dig sites several years down the road – and that thanks to UNCC's strong ties with Jerusalem, “maybe there will even be a day when UNCC will be able to design an archaeological site there after having done the excavations.”
