I make necklaces out of used aluminum beverage cans. I wash them and then cut out the hands to make necklaces. These hands remind me of Mexican Milagros.
According to Wikipedia:
"Milagros (also known as ex-votos or dijes) are religious folk charms that are traditionally used for healing purposes and as votive offerings in Mexico, the southern United States, other areas of Latin America, as well as parts of the Iberian peninsula. They are frequently attached onto altars, shrines, and sacred objects found in places of worship, and they are often purchased in churches, cathedrals or from street vendors.
Milagros come in a variety of shapes and dimensions and are fabricated from many different materials, depending on local customs. For example, they might be nearly flat or fully three dimensional; and they can be constructed from gold, silver, tin, lead, wood, bone, or wax. In Spanish, the word milagro literally means miracle or surprise.
The use of milagros is a folk custom in parts of North, Central, and South America, and it is claimed that the custom is traceable to ancient Iberians who inhabited the coastal regions of Spain. The use of milagros accompanied the Spanish as they arrived in Central and South America. Although the custom is not as prevalent as it once was, the use of milagros or ex-votos continues to be a part of folk culture throughout rural areas of Spain—particularly Andalusia, Catalonia and Majorca.
As part of a religious ritual or an act of devotion, milagros can be offered to a symbol of a saint as a reminder of a petitioner’s particular need, or in gratitude for a prayer answered. They are used to assist in focusing attention towards a specific ailment, based on the type of charm used. Milagro symbolism is not univeral; a milagro of a body part, such as a leg, might be used as part of a prayer or vow for the improvement of a leg; or it might refer to a concept such as travel. Similarly, a heart might represent ideas as diverse as a heart condition, a romance, or any number of other interpretations.
Milagros are also carried for protection and good luck.
In addition to religious and ritual applications, milagros are often found as components in necklaces, earrings and other jewelry."

ICON Health & Fitness Sprints to eCommerce Success with SeeWhy
Boston (PRWEB) August 25, 2014
SeeWhy, an SAP Company, today announced that ICON Health & Fitness, an innovative leader in the fitness industry, has achieved significant results using SeeWhy Ad Manager, doubling the ROI of the company’s previous ad retargeting efforts and positively impacting online conversion and sales.
With online visitor conversion critical to ICON’s long-term growth and success, and no room for waste in its advertising budget, the company needed a retargeted advertising solution that would help to nurture consumer relationships with its existing brands while introducing new product lines. The ICON online marketing team sought a partner that could provide display ad retargeting as an overlay or accompaniment to other retargeting efforts, then worked with several companies to implement solutions for retargeting display ads, but none performed well.
Following proven success using SeeWhy Conversion Manager for shopping cart abandonment email remarketing, ICON turned to SeeWhy and its newly released Ad Manager product. SeeWhy Ad Manager is a SaaS solution for retailers and ecommerce companies that uses Real Time Bidding (RTB) to target ad spend on the highest value visitors and makes campaigns more cost-effective by bidding on, buying and measuring only the ad space needed. Unlike click-through attribution models that disregard the impact of other marketing efforts, producing skewed results, SeeWhy’s Ad Manager uses a control group to measure campaign performance, so that only the lifted revenue is measured.
“We are extremely pleased with the results we’ve seen with SeeWhy thus far,” said Mark Thatcher, director of online marketing at ICON Health & Fitness. “SeeWhy has doubled the ROI of our previous ad retargeting efforts and is an integral part of our business plan moving forward.”
Previously, ICON’s retargeting efforts had been siloed, making it difficult to manage the customer experience and not providing a single view of the customer reengagement. The SeeWhy team developed a plan that combined Conversion Manager and Ad Manager to produce a comprehensive remarketing strategy.
This strategy provided a cross-channel approach for ICON, integrating display ads and retargeting emails to reengage customers with ICON’s products and brands. The use of a control group provides ICON with clear, reliable data about consumer behavior, so that ICON can gauge the exact revenues generated by each campaign—and therefore measure each campaign’s success.
“Today, ICON is able to run retargeting campaigns year-round and achieve optimal results through the combined power of Ad Manager and Conversion Manager,” said Charles Nicholls, chief strategy officer at SeeWhy. “Our initial test results concluded suppressing ads when a person could instead be targeted via email maximized the ROI. This allowed ICON to make the ad budget more efficient and gave them a single point of control for a customer’s retargeting experience.”
Founded in 1977, ICON Health & Fitness offers a comprehensive line of state-of-the-art fitness products, including Incline Trainers®, treadmills, elliptical machines, stationary bikes, home gym equipment, yoga and Pilates equipment, hand-held exercise accessories, and performance apparel under a variety of brands, including Nordic Track, Pro-Form, and Weider.
About SeeWhy
SeeWhy, an SAP Company, is the leading real time remarketing company. More than 4,000 of today’s top brands and retailers choose SeeWhy’s products to rapidly improve conversion rates by automatically triggering the right marketing message on the right channel at the right time to drive conversions.

Omegasonics Introduces Ultrasonic Cleaning for 3D Prototyped Parts
Simi Valley, CA (PRWEB) August 25, 2014
Omegasonics, a leading manufacturer of ultrasonic cleaning systems, announced today the introduction of two ultrasonic cleaning units for use with fuse deposition modeling (FDM) 3D parts.
The 1900 BT and the SST4030 utilize precision ultrasonic technology to accurately and methodically remove all support material from 3D prototyped parts, one layer at a time. These innovative units effectively clean ABS, polycarbonate, polycarbonate-ISO, Nylon 12, and PC-ABS parts, regardless of a part’s geometry and complexity.
“Our engineers have been working for some time with one of the top 3D printing equipment manufacturers to develop ultrasonic cleaning units that deliver superior parts cleaning,” said Frank Pedeflous, President of Omegasonics. “The advanced technology of our 3D ultrasonic cleaners help make the prototyping process more cost effective and allows manufacturers to get ideas to market faster than ever.”
The new Omegasonics cleaners are fast, easy to use, and designed for the office environment. They are designed with all solid state components, Plug & Play construction, and require no regular maintenance. A stainless steel parts basket with a unique lid ensures that parts are fully submerged in the ultrasonic bath for maximum cleaning throughout the entire cleaning cycle.
Other features include:
User-friendly illuminated control panel
Digital temperature control
Digital timer controlled ultrasound
Large tank capacity
Stainless steel drain valve
Insulated tank for reduced noise
And more
No other existing process removes support materials from 3D prototyped parts as quickly, easily and precisely as the Omegasonics1900 BT and the SST4030 ultrasonic cleaning units.
