Tanagra figurine
The Tanagra figurines were a mold-cast type of Greek terracotta figurines produced from the later fourth century BCE, primarily in the Boeotian town of Tanagra. They were coated with a liquid white slip before firing and were sometimes painted afterwards in naturalistic tints with watercolors, such as the famous "Dame en Bleu" ("Lady in Blue") at the Louvre. Scholars have wondered why a rural place like Tanagra produced such fine and rather "urban" style terracotta figures.[citation needed]
Tanagra figures depict real women — and some men and boys — in everyday costume, with familiar accessories like hats, wreaths or fans. Some character pieces[1] may have represented stock figures from the New Comedy of Menander and other writers. Others continued an earlier tradition of molded terracotta figures used as cult images or votive objects. Typically they are about 10 to 20 centimetres high.
The coraplasters, or sculptors of the models that provided the molds, delighted in revealing the body under the folds of a himation thrown round the shoulders like a cloak and covering the head, over a chiton, and the movements of such drapery in action.
Tanagra figures had not been much noted before the end of the 1860s, when ploughmen of Vratsi in Boeotia, Greece, began to uncover tombs ranging in date over many centuries. The main finds especially from the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE were secured in 1874. Inside and outside the tombs of the Hellenistic period — 3rd to 1st centuries BCE — were many small terracotta figures. Great quantities that were found in excavation sites at Tanagra identified the city as the source of these figures, which were also exported to distant markets. In addition, such figures were made in many other Mediterranean sites, including Alexandria, Tarentum in Magna Graecia, Centuripe in Sicily and Myrina in Mysia.
The figures appealed to 19th century middle-class ideals of realism, and "Tanagra figures" entered the visual repertory of Europeans. Jean-Léon Gérôme created a polychromatic sculpture depicting the spirit of Tanagra,[2] and one French critic described the fashionable women portrayed in the statuettes as "the parisienne of the ancient world".[3] Oscar Wilde in his play An Ideal Husband (1895), introduces the character of Mabel Chiltern with (amongst further description) "she is really like a Tanagra statuette, and would be rather annoyed if she were told so." Under the pressure of collectors' demands, Tanagra terracottas began to be faked.[4]

Call-In Conferencing for Faculty & Staff
Call-In Conferencing is a service feature that allows individuals to initiate their own dial-in conference calls.
- No Cost - This service is included as a feature of UNCW phone service.
- There can be up to 6 participants per Call-In Conference.
- The service is administered and scheduled through the campus operators.
- The service is password protected so you and your conference can be assured privacy is maintained.
- Prompts are included to guide and instruct you as to your status in the conference.
Call-In Conferencing is a service feature provided to all faculty and staff with UNCW phone service. With the Call-In Conference feature, a customer can host a dial-in conference of up to 6 participants by providing them a dial-in number and access code.
The host can utilize this service from on or off campus.
- If off campus, the host can conference up to 5 participants (whether they are on or off campus).
- If on campus, the host can conference up to 6 participants (whether they are on or off campus).
How it Works
- Dial the Call-In Conference telephone number. A recorded announcement will ask you to enter an access code. Each caller is given two opportunities to provide the correct access code before the call is dropped due to an incorrect access code.
- When the correct access code is entered, the caller is added to the conference. An entry tone is played for the caller as well as the other existing members of the conference.
- If no other parties are on the conference, an announcement tells the caller that they are the first caller to join the conference. If other parties are already on the call, an announcement tells the caller that they are joining a conference that is already in progress.
- When a party drops out of the conference, the remaining parties hear an exit tone.
How Do I Get This Service?
The Call-In Conferencing service is administered and managed by the campus operators. To schedule the service, please submit a request to email@example.com.
The following information is required in the request to schedule this service:
- Host contact information: name, phone number and email address
- Date, start time and end time
- Fund number (Used strictly for tracking purposes only)
The conference call request should be received at least two hours prior to the actual conference start time. Once the request has been received, the conference call will be scheduled by the operator. At least one hour prior to the conference call, the host will be sent a confirmation email with the dial-in number and an access code to be distributed to the participants.

|The Tibetan Book of the Dead.
Edited by Walter Y. Evans-Wentz and translated by Kazi Dawa Samdup. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1927. First Edition. (On loan from Bryan J. Cuevas)
The Tibetan Book of the Dead.
Edited by Walter Y. Evans-Wentz and translated by Kazi Dawa Samdup. Oxford: Oxford University Press, June 1936. Second Impression. (On loan from Bryan J. Cuevas)
|The first English language translation and commentary of the most famous Tibetan death text, 'The Great Liberation upon Hearing in the Intermediate State' (Bardo Tö-dröl, bar do thos grol chen mo), appeared in 1927. Its editor, Dr. Walter Y. Evans-Wentz (1878-1965), christened the text with the title The Tibetan Book of the Dead in order to convey to the western reader the true character of the text as a whole. The actual translation into English was provided by Kazi Dawa Samdup (Kazi zla ba bsam Îgrub, 1868-1922), who had previously served as interpreter to both the British Government in Sikkim and the Tibetan Plenipotentiary in India, and had also been the teacher and translator for the first great female pioneer of Tibet, Alexandra David-Neel (1868-1969) during her stay in Sikkim. After Dawa Samdup's death, over the course of several years, Evans-Wentz reworked, edited, and composed lengthy notes to the surviving translations, basing his interpretive conclusions upon material drawn less from the Tibetan Buddhist traditions (with which he was only vaguely familiar) and more from the Spiritualism of Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891), founder of the Theosophical Society, and from the neo-Vedantic Hindu views of his Indian guru Swami Satyananda. Consequently, Evans-Wentz's reworking of Dawa Samdup's earlier translations and his copious commentarial footnotes are truly idiosyncratic and impressionistic interpretations of the Tibetan Buddhist doctrines contained in the text. The commentaries of Evans-Wentz certainly bear the imprint of his romantic Theosophical leanings and nineteenth century intellectual prejudices.
|The Tibetan Book of the Dead.
Edited by Walter Y. Evans-Wentz and translated by Kazi Dawa Samdup. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1960. Paperback Edition.
|Further contributions to Evans-Wentzâs creative interpretations of the Book of the Dead were not offered again until the renowned psychoanalyst Carl G. Jung (1875-1961) psychologized the text's message in his commentary of 1938, which was published for the first time in English in the third Oxford Press edition of 1957 and subsequently prefaced to all future editions of Evans-Wentz's Tibetan Book of the Dead. Jung's insightful essay demonstrated to the wider academic population that this Tibetan text could be relevant beyond the specialized arena of Tibetology and that its content could speak to the concerns of anthropologists, philosophers, and psychologists alike. Moreover, Jung's psychological perspective generated considerable interest in non-academic circles and directly influenced the interpretations of several translations and commentaries that would follow.
|The Tibetan Book of the Dead: The Great
Liberation Through Hearing in the Bardo.
Chogyam Trungpa and Francesca Fremantle. Berkeley, California: Shambhala Publications, 1975.
The Tibetan Book of the Dead: The Great Liberation Through Hearing in the Bardo.
By Guru Rinpoche according to Karma-Lingpa. Translated with commentary by Francesca Fremantle and Chogyam Trungpa. Boston and London: Shambhala Pocket Classics, 1992.
|Based on lectures presented at his own Buddhist institute in Vermont, the charismatic Tibetan teacher Chögyam Trungpa (1939-1987) published his own edition of The Tibetan Book of the Dead in 1975. This edition exhibits the distinctive quality of Trungpa's peculiar blend of American counter-culture individualism and Tibetan Buddhist orthodox conservatism. His highly individualized commentary to the translation certainly owes a debt to Carl Jung. In Chögyam Trungpa's view the bardo experience is an active part of every human beingâs basic psychological make-up, and thus it is best described using the concepts of modern psychoanalysis, such as ego, the unconscious mind, neurosis, paranoia, and so on. Indeed, the greatest virtue of Trungpa's text is its ability to convey the messages of the Book of the Dead in a free-flowing and comfortable style unburdened by the specialized and obscure language so often encountered in more academic works.
|The Tibetan Book of the Dead: Liberation
Through Understanding in the Between.
Robert A.F. Thurman. New York: Bantam Books, 1994.
|This most recent translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead is inspired by the contemporary hospice movement in America. In this new translation, Robert Thurman, Columbia University professor and president of Tibet House in New York City, sets out to produce an even more accessible version of the popular Tibetan text for those individuals who might wish to read it at the bedside of their dying friend or relative. In this way, Thurman's Tibetan Book of the Dead is presented clearly as an "easy- to-read" guidebook for contemporary Americans. His edition is among the first to give simple practical instructions on how to make use of the Tibetan text, and includes a well-informed and extensive commentarial introduction to the essential Buddhist topics that serve as background to the ideas and practices encountered in the original work.

György Kara. Budapest: Europa Konyvkiado, 1986. (On loan from Bryan J. Cuevas)
|The popularity of Evans-Wentz's edition of the Tibetan Book of the Dead was so tremendous that it went through numerous reprints and was translated from the English version into most major European languages. The text's high level of appeal also inspired several new international translations from the original Tibetan manuscripts. Among these works are included the important translation studies of Giuseppe Tucci (1894-1984) and György Kara. Perhaps as tribute to the pioneering efforts of Evans-Wentz, but certainly in keeping with long established convention, both translations carry the same title as the Evans-Wentz version, in spite of the fact that neither work translates any part of his groundbreaking English edition.
|Secret Doctrines of the Tibetan Books
of the Dead.
Detlef Ingo Lauf. Germany: Aurum Verlag, 1975; English translation by Graham Parkes. Boston: Shambhala Publications, 1977; reprint, 1989.
|In his Secret Doctrines of the Tibetan Books of the Dead, the German Tibetologist and scholar of comparative religion Detlef Lauf helps to clarify many of the symbolic and historical complexities that had continued to elude a great number of commentators on the Tibetan Book of the Dead since the early work of Evans-Wentz. He is also the first western scholar to acknowledge explicitly the literary diversity of this popular text, demonstrating that this so-called 'Tibetan book' is in actuality a rather large collection of books, each with its own separate symbolic content and expressed religious purpose. Moreover, in addition to his insightful contributions to the literary history of the Tibetan books, Lauf offers an intriguing and thought-provoking comparison with the religious perspectives on death and dying found in other ancient cultures, such as those of Egypt, Persia, Greece, and Rome.
|Tibet Bon Religion: A Death Ritual
of the Tibetan Bonpos.
Leiden: E.J. Brill, 1985.
|Recent developments in Tibetan Bon-po studies have profitted immensely from the pioneering work of Per Kvaerne, Professor of the History of Religions and Tibetology at the University of Oslo. In his Tibet Bon Religion: A Death Ritual of the Tibetan Bonpos, Kvaerne provides a detailed description of a Bon-po death ritual as it was performed in India in 1981, focusing specifically on the structure and purpose of the ritual of the illustration cards or jangbu (see Section 3 above). Kvaerne's analysis of the jangbu ritual, in which a drawing of the deceased is used by the officiating lama to guide him or her toward an auspicious destiny, reveals the close relationship between ancient and modern Tibetan perspectives on death, dying, and the dead. This study also introduces the main features and doctrines of Bon as background to the rituals described and includes numerous illustrations and photographs published here for the first time.
|The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying.
Sogyal Rinpoche. San Francisco: Harper Collins, 1992. (On loan from Bryan J. Cuevas)
|In this best-selling work, the internationally renowned meditation master Sogyal Rinpoche combines the wisdom of the most revered spiritual traditions of Tibet with the modern insights of medical science regarding death and the nature of consciousness to create an inspiring and practical self-help guide for all who wish to enhance their spiritual growth. In the words of Sogyal Rinpoche himself, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying was written in the hope that it might "inspire a quiet revolution in the whole way we look at death and care for the dying, and the whole way we look at life and care for the living." With this compassionate goal in mind, Rinpoche offers his own practical perspectives on such traditional Tibetan religious topics as the workings of karma and rebirth, the practices for dying, and the transitional bardos between lives. In addition, he discusses the universal similarities between near-death experiences, especially those reported by Tibetans, Europeans, and Americans, and gives advice on how to care spiritually for the dying.
|The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual
Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner, and Richard Alpert. Secaucus, New Jersey: Citadel Press, 1964; second paperback printing, 1983. (On loan from Bryan J. Cuevas)
|Beginning with the private experiments of a small group of intellectuals and spreading quickly to America's disenchanted youth, the 1960's psychedelic revolution unleashed for a brief second in history the flash and fury of the unconscious mind upon a repressed and unsuspecting society. More often than not the dazzling and multi-colored archetypes that sprang forth came in the exotic guise of the gods and demons of India and Tibet. Mystical experience and the spiritual quest became synomous with drug-induced altered states of consciousness and the search for the ultimate 'high.' The message of the day: "tune in, turn on, drop out." Following a commonly held belief that many of Asia's revered scriptures could be utilized most effectively in the west by replacing their sacred images with western ones, former Harvard psychology professors Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert (aka Ram Dass), enthusiasts of the new counter-culture, took the Tibetan Book of the Dead and presented it as a guidebook for the LSD experience, complete with descriptions of the psychedelic psychodrama of ego-death, involving a 'trip' through a kaleidoscopic limbo (bardo) and a sobering return (rebirth) to the everyday world. Instructions were laid out to mirror the instructions of the lama, whose job it was to gently guide the deceased through his or her own psychic world--a flash of memories and visionary impressions of a life once lived. The Psychedelic Experience did little to clarify traditional Tibetan interpretations of the Book of the Dead, but did succeed in generating a perennial fascination for this and other related Tibetan texts among the rising generation of young American truth-seekers and future scholars.
|The Original American Book of the Dead.
E.J. Gold. Nevada City, California: Gateways/IDHHB Publishers, 1974; Revised edition, 1990. On loan from Gregory A. Hillis.
|This volume is another illustration of the hybrid genre of 'Death Manual' inspired by the counter-culture's encounter with Tibetan lamas in Berkeley and environs during the late 1960's and early 1970's. Here we find a light- hearted but ultimately serious guidebook for those who seek to navigate the labyrinth of existence, whether or not, as Gold puts it, they are "attached to a biological machine." The book closely follows the Tibetan model for such manuals, and represents the author's attempt to translate the Tibetan lamas' knowledge of death technologies into an American cultural idiom. This he achieves through employing quotations from Groucho Marx, and distinctly American versions of universal archetypes such as game-show hosts, military drill-instructors, television, funhouses, and strip-poker. In addition, Gold includes order forms for books, tapes, and other curiosities from his "Bardo Shopping Network" mail-order service. Despite its irreverent tone, The American Book of the Dead served as a precursor to the "Post-Death-Experience" (PDE) literature currently popular in New Age bookstores.
|Tricycle: The Buddhist Review.
New York: Buddhist Ray, Inc. Vol. VI, number 1, Fall, 1996. On loan from Gregory A. Hillis.
|Many of the hippies and spiritual seekers from the 1960s and 1970s whose introduction to Tibetan Buddhism had been connected with drugs and other psychedelic experiences went on to formally convert to the Buddhist religion, sometimes establishing spiritual communities, etc. Initially, the majority of rites and daily practices in such communities were little more than elaborate pantomimes of Tibetan rituals. As time went on, however, many felt an increasing need to translate these practices into a contemporary Western context, as well as develop a forum for discussion of specifically Western responses to classical Buddhist issues. Magazines such as Tricycle and others arose in the 1980s to fill this growing need. This recent issue of Tricycle is devoted to the topic of the relationship of psychedelic drugs to the development of American Buddhism. The cover is a hallucinatory rendering of a traditional Tibetan thangka, depicting the vivid and intense, but paradoxical and sometimes ambiguous nature of an American Buddhist's experience.

Once Upon a Time Spoilers: Going Dark, Finding Neverland, Changing the Gameby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Once Upon a Time is sorry to confirm the news, but even true hearts can lose. That much was tragically proven on this week's "The Queen is Dead."
And with Mary Margaret witnessing the death of a beloved acquaintance, what will this mean for the character going forward? Ginnifer Goodwin gave fans a preview during the show's PaleyFest panel yesterday afternoon in Los Angeles.
"What she is going through is going to shake her self-identity, her self-definition," said the actress. "If she's not the Snow White she can read about it in story books, then she doesn't know who she is. That opens a lot up for her. She can get in touch with a more evolved way of protecting herself and her family."
And that certainly looks like what we'll be seeing on next Sunday's "The Miller's Daughter."
Along with this new, scary side of Mary Margaret, here is an idea of what fans can expect to close out Once Upon a Time Season 2, courtesy of this revealing cast Q&A:
A Trip to Neverland? The concluding pair of episodes will be titled "Second Star to the Right" and "Straight on Till Morning." Yes, these are the directions to Neverland.
With Bae on his way to Storybrooke, Robery Carlyle teased "a game-changer [in Episode 22] that really happens in terms of the relationship with [Gold's] son."
Fairy Tale World, 2.0? "As much as David likes electricity, he misses his sword, his horse and his castle," producer Edward Kitsis said of a possible fairy tale land return. "He wants to kill some ogres and wants to rebuild his land. That is something a lot of people will get on board for, but we'll see what happens."
Hook will be away for awhile and then "out for himself" when he comes back, according to Kitsis.
She tried going good for awhile, but "Regina as the Evil Queen is going to make a comeback in a different way," said Lana Parrilla. "And it's going to be exciting to see."
We will flashback on the episode "Welcome to Storybrooke," heading to 1983 and the week when the curse was first enacted. This installment will mark the returns of Sheriff Graham (Jamie Dornan) and Billy the Mechanic (Jarod Joseph).
Talk of a spinoff was very premature. Sebastian Stan will return at some point and continue to portray Jefferson.

Here's the way I see everything playing out... As we suspect, Cora is going to try to kill Gold to get his power. Snow is VERY upset that Cora killed her mother and is ready to do ANYTHING to prevent her from winning. Therefore, when Cora does kill Gold (which I think she does), Snow finally uses the candle (which we saw given to her to save her mother last week) to kill Cora and bring Gold back. So following the transfer of power here...Cora gets power from Gold, but in killing Cora, Snow receives the power. Not sure if it will go down this way, but it certainly would be an interesting twist!
f she has magic healing powers they will most likely only work with the ones she loves.
And according to spoilers, the next episode pretty much begins with her proclaiming that Gold is her family and she would never ever let him die.
Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know Snow daggering Rumple would mean that Rumple dies. Sorry but there's no way the creators are going to let Rumple die. H
Not if:
A) Emma heals him (hence why showrunners talked about the whole thing of emotions being behind "true magic" of Emma)
B) Snow uses the candle to trade save Rumple and kill Cora then.
@Bored Now and @Spindae 2.o
Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know Snow daggering Rumple would mean that Rumple dies. Sorry but there's no way the creators are going to let Rumple die. He's so essential to the storyline, as is Robert Carlyle to the cast. We don't know what sort of magic Emma has yet, and what its limits are, so that might even be an option but since she certainly doesn't love Rumplestiltskin nor even likes him that much (especially if he's continuing to be rude to Henry) I don't see it happening. If she has magic healing powers they will most likely only work with the ones she loves. She can't just go about healing everyone. Poor Dr Whale would be put out of a job. @San
They did say there would be no recasting of Jefferson, however they also said he will not be returning in the foreseeable future.
I have a feeling that Snow is becoming the Dark One !
My thoughts exactly! Either
A) Cora kills Rumple and becomes Dark One. Then Snow uses the candle to kill cora and revive rumple. Singe Snow killed the current Dark One, she becomes the dark one.
B) Snow literally stabs Rumple with the dagger, to prevent Cora from getting his power. Rumple latter is healed by Emma, through the whole love-magic thing.
I think the game changer will be that Neal find out that Rumple killed his mother. I am interested in Snow going to the dark side. But the episode I am most interested in is the flashback episode.
I have a feeling that Snow is becoming the Dark One !
She kills Rumple so she becomes the most powerful of all! Rumple will probably be healed by Emma so he can stay on the show!
Hook on his own? Game-changer for Rumple and Bae? Return of Jefferson? And I read somewhere that Belle might get her memories back? Sounds damn great to me :-)
Alright for Bae and Rumple!!Love him and emma and cant wait to see how him and rumple reunite as father and son.
YAY for Sebastian Stan. You already took away Sheriff Graham, leave the other hotties on the show!

Specific Herbs For Womenby Dave Foreman
The month of May means Mother's Day, and for me that means focusing on women's health. So let's take a look at general health through the many different stages of womanhood. The foundation of women's health is three-pronged. One needs to support the basics of health, address potential pitfalls, and prepare for the future. After you accomplish these three things, you can then address some of the other health issues that may not be specific to women's health.
As you age, the demands of life and the changes in your body will gradually change your foundational requirements. I always start with the 4 Pillars of Great Health; Supplementation, Diet, Exercise and Mental Health. The Dietary, Physical and Mental aspects are basically the same as we age, but the supplementation will change.
With regards to supplementation for women, I suggest starting with a good Multivitamin and mineral formula (MVI). If you are still having your period, I recommend your Multivitamin contain Iron. If not, then you may not need a Multivitamin fortified with iron unless your health care provider advises it. There are several vitamin lines (New Chapter and Enzymatic Therapy) available that specifically address the needs of women and they even offer formulas designed for specific women's age groups.
Many women have concerns about Osteoporosis. You should (so should men) be concerned. A Naturopathic Doctor friend of mine always says that you are putting bone in the bank up until you are 18. After that, you are trying to maintain/not lose what you already have built. Osteoporosis is not an old lady's disease. You need to prepare today for tomorrow.Weightbearing activities like walking (for the lower body) and lifting (for the upper body) are the best things you can do to prevent this horrible disease. Aside from this, supplementing with Calcium is an important and widely accepted practice. What often gets overlooked are the other key nutrients needed to support bone health. I never recommend taking any one mineral by itself. Minerals work either together or against each other and therefore should be taken in a balanced blend. Some of the newer Coral Mineral supplements will provide a natural balanced source of all minerals including the trace minerals that are not common in the American Diet.Vitamin D may be the next most, if not the most, important supplement for bone health. You need vitamin D to be able to absorb your Calcium. Other key players in bone health are Magnesium, Copper, Zinc and Fish Oil. Yes, I find it necessary to use all of these to maintain healthy bone structure. You should seek out a Calcium supplement that is also a multiple mineral and contains Vitamin D. The Fish oil I use and recommend is Coromega®. This is thirdparty- tested to assure it does not contain contaminants like heavy metals and pesticides.
For more in-depth information, the book "The Osteoporosis Solution" by Carl Germano RD. CNS, LDN, and William Cabot, MD is my favorite. This book addresses both the traditional solutions as well as the natural answers to dealing with bone health.
What about hormonal support? This is where things get sort of sketchy. Depending on your needs, what works for one woman may not work for another. It is for this reason I will usually default to combination products (the shotgun approach) to address hormone balancing. Herbs like Dong Quai, Black Cohosh, Red Clover and Vitex are the most commonly used herbs for hormonal support. Dong Quai is a female organ tonic (supporting good overall health); Black Cohosh is for estrogen support; and Vitex is for progesterone support. Depending on your needs (PMS, Menopause), your supplement will change. The chart below provides a quick reference of what's available to specifically address PMS or menopause.
As I am now preaching in my Seminars, synergy is where it's at. Try to find a product that combines multiple ingredients to address your specific needs. In other parts of the world people are not treated naturally with an ingredient, but a blend of things that make a bigger splash.When it comes to nutritional supplements, one plus one doesn't equal two; it equals 3 or more. Examples would be Estrotone for Menopause symptoms, or Kidney Bladder by Nature's Way for fluid retention. The above chart is just the tip of the iceberg. You need to do your homework and find the supplement combination that is right for you.
Finally, the point needs to be made that you are what you eat and that includes your supplements. Too many times women are focused on taking care of their external appearance by applying cosmetics, creams, lotions etc. To achieve the best look, you really need to take care of the inside. (Refer to my March/April 2006 newsletter) Yes, using high quality skin care products can enhance one's appearance, but for long-lasting and better results, the best approach is to also use supplements for healthy hair, skin and nails.

I have a competitors ired heater that I have had major problems with it, my friends just arrived with their motor coach and have this unit.
It heats his entire front 1/2 of a 38' winnebago even in 38 degree outside temps. I will guess that is 8' by 7' by 15' It is soo quiet and no noticable wind no cold spots. I will think about a 2nd unit if it works as good as i think it will.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Princeton' tag.
From a 1977 interview with the late theoretical physicist Sidney Coleman.
Coleman: Teaching is unpleasant work. No question about it. It has its rewards. One feels happy about having a job well done. Washing the dishes, waxing the floors (things I also do on a regular basis since I'm a bachelor) have their rewards. I am pleased when I have done a good job waxing the floor and I've taken an enormous pile of dirty dishes and reduced them to sparkling clean ones. On the other hand, if I didn't have to, I would never engage in waxing the floors, although I'm good at it. I'm also good at teaching; I'm considered very good at teaching, both by myself and others. And I'm also terrifically good at washing dishes, in fact. On the other hand, I certainly would never make a bunch of dirty dishes just for the joy of washing them and I would not teach a course just for the joy of teaching a course. (…) if someone were to suddenly say to me, look you can sit in this office and talk and do physics with the same people, everything would be the same except you would never have to teach a course and never have to see a graduate student, and we'll halve your salary — I'd leap at the offer.
Sopka: So I guess really you would be happier with the format of an institute of theoretical physics? Rather than a teaching institution like a university?
Coleman: Well no. That makes it too abstract. Because that means, would you like to have a position at, say, the Institute for Advanced Studies? And then all sorts of other things would enter the picture. Like you'd have to live in Princeton which is truly an awful experience. (…) It's a terrible place. Dullest place in the world. No I wouldn't say that, but certainly the dullest place at which decent science or decent scholarship is done in the world today. The only advantage to Princeton is that it's close to Princeton Junction.
Back in August, Boaz Barak and Moses Charikar organized a two-day course on additive combinatorics for computer scientists in Princeton. Boaz and Avi Wigderson spoke on sum-product theorems and their applications, and I spoke on techniques in the proofs of Szemeredi's theorem and their applications. As an Australian model might say, that's interesting!
Videos of the talks are now online. The quality of the audio and video is quite good, you'll have to decide for yourself on the quality of the lectures. The schedule of the event was grueling, and in my last two lectures (on Gowers uniformity and applications) I am not very lucid. In earlier lectures, however, I am merely sleep deprived — I can be seen falling asleep in front of the board a few times. Boaz's and Avi's lectures, however, are flawless.

Like most students, BookRenter founder Colin Barceloux was frustrated with the high cost of textbooks, paying over $500 each quarter while at Santa Clara University. To help pay for textbooks (and other necessities like beer, food, and clothes), he worked as a campus mailman, and noticed a large number of discarded textbooks around campus. There were even huge stacks of books on the bookstore's "Zero Value Table," containing books that the bookstore wouldn't buy back. To Colin, something seemed wrong with the fact that a book's value could drop from $100 to $0 in a few months.
He started to collect all these unwanted books, and sold them online to students around the country. He realized that the practice of buying a book, using it, and selling it is really just a textbook rental, and the idea behind the company was born. After working at a few other companies, Colin teamed up with two Santa Clara engineers Chris Williams and Philippe Huibonhoa to start BookRenter.
We have grown tremendously since the early days of selling used textbooks for extra beer money, but our core mission — to make education more affordable for everyone — still drives us today.
Mehdi has over 20 years of experience building great teams and operating both startups and public companies. Before Rafter, Mehdi was SVP of products and services at CafePress where he joined the team in the early days and grew the company to over $130M in revenues. Prior to CafePress, Mehdi was SVP of products at Intellisync where they gained 90% ownership of the mobile sync market before being bought by Nokia for $450M. Additionally, Mehdi has held a number of executive positions at other Valley companies and currently sits on the board of FaceTime, Pbworks and Fotomoto. A geek at heart, Mehdi did his undergraduate studies at Berkeley and his graduate studies in computer science at Stanford. His favorite topic in college was Fuzzy Logic by Professor Lotfi Zadeh.
Colin is the founder of BookRenter, the forerunner to Rafter and the company that introduced the concept of textbook rental. Prior to founding BookRenter, Colin worked at Google in online advertising and at 24/7 Real Media as a Marketing Manager. He has a BS in Management Information Systems and a Minor in Information Technology from Santa Clara University where he graduated with Honors in 2003. Colin resides in San Francisco and is a basketball enthusiast, mountain biker, golfer, and as avid a snowboarder as a Bay Area resident can be.
Charles brings his extensive financial leadership experience to Rafter; he was most recently President of EchoFirst and prior to that he was President and CFO of Sungevity and CFO of SolarCity. His accomplishments included the successful raising of multiple structured finance funds totally in excess of $700M, which enabled the consumer leasing programs which now account for over 70% of industry sales. Charles responsibilities at Rafter include financial planning, structured finance, corporate development, accounting and treasury. In addition, Charles brings over twenty years of experience in leadership roles at high growth companies in a variety of industries, including such consumer products and financial services companies as PepsiCo, GAP, Inc, and Transamerica.

Justin brings both creativity and rigor to his leadership of the engineering organization. Prior to Rafter, he held numerous engineering, product, and founding roles at growing start-ups throughout Silicon Valley. Most recently, Justin served in a general management role at the online retailer CafePress.com, where he was responsible for the vision, product, and marketing of the CafePress Groups business. While studying Computer Science at the University of Rochester, Justin created a service that would presage his future career with Rafter: after a typical weekend of feverish coding, his Book Swap launched to overnight success, drawing hundreds of textbook classified postings from across campus in the first day of operations.
Sara is a metrics-obsessed, ROI-driven marketer who spent the past 15 years building strong online brands. Prior to Rafter, Sara held a senior leadership position at online retailer Cafepress where she was responsible for attracting customers, keeping them happy, and scaling revenue. As the head of marketing for Yahoo! Personals, Sara's devotion to customers helped the dating service woo singles and catapult the brand to the number one most visited dating site. At E*TRADE she drove customer development efforts across the Investing, Banking & Mortgage business units yielding significant returns. Highly collaborative and team-oriented, Sara's approach to management was born of her experience playing center field for the UNLV women's softball team (Go Rebels!) where she was Second Team All American.
Greg joins the Rafter team with eighteen years of corporate and commercial practice under his belt. As a corporate attorney with Sullivan & Worcester in Boston and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich and Rosati in Palo Alto, Greg specialized in LBOs, M&A and venture financings. After leaving large firm law practice Greg went 'in-house' - consulting for, and serving as a General Counsel of a variety of consumer Silicon Valley internet, enterprise software, and technology companies, and in many cases building legal departments from scratch. Greg has more than five years experience as the General Counsel of prominent public companies - McAfee.com (MCAF) and Plumtree Software, Inc. (PLUM) - leading each of their IPOs. Greg has a B.S.

The shadow foreign secretary calls for a national convention - "Scotland 2025" - "to chart a new vision for an old nation".
The shadow foreign secretary says that only Labour can "give voice to the national interest" in an address at Chatham House.
By standing up for Britain's right to a credible voice in Europe, the Labour leader can take the more prime ministerial path.

Rich and floral, this top-notch Pinot Blanc hits the palate with verve and ripe, complex fruit flavors. There's a streak of delicious vanilla under the honeydew and Meyer lemon richness, and the length and power are especially impressive for a Pinot Blanc.— P.G.

I don't know anyone making better Pinot Gris in Oregon than this premiere property. Rich, ripe, round and sensuous, this lush and textured wine unwraps its ripe fruit in layers of pear/apricot flavor, enhanced with bright spice and finished with flavors of vanilla cream.— P.G.

A definitive, whitepepper spice note runs through many, if not most Oregon Pinot Blancs. It's a positive marker, and this wine is a fine example. Winemaker Thibaud Mandet unhesitatingly calls this his favorite wine. There are lovely aromatics, a mouth-teasing mix of citrus and green apple fruit, and a wash of…— P.G.

This is a truly lovely, elegant Pinot Blanc, from a winery that has a fine handle on the grape. Scents of lemongrass and grapefruit run headlong into delicate, evocative fruit flavors of melon, gooseberry, lime and stone fruits. Though quite dry and tart, it has so much complexity that it never turns sour.— P.G.

Certainly the best of WillaKenzie's lineup in 2006, the Triple Black Slopes Pinot Noir brings a density and focus, coupled with riper, darker fruits and appealing minerality, that is missing from its stable mates.

This is outstanding Pinot, from a vineyard yielding a miserly one ton per acre.

The name refers to the vineyard's unusually steep slopes. The reward for farming such difficult terrain, the owners believe, is complexity, character and concentration.

LUMIX Special Features
Sonic Speed AF
The Sonic Speed AF (auto focus) in the DMC-FZ47(FZ48) features dramatically speedier focusing that is approx. 35% faster than our previous model.* You can quickly focus on moving subjects, such as when you're shooting sports scenes.
* Compared with the previous DMC-FZ40(FZ45). The zoom is in the wide setting range. This refers to the time from pressing the shutter button until exposure begins. Using a Panasonic measurement method.
AF Tracking
Once you focus on your subject, the AF Tracking automatically tracks it until you press the shutter. When you're taking images of an active subject, like children or pets, this function eliminates the need to press the shutter button halfway down repeatedly to readjust the focus. With the DMC-FZ47(FZ48), the speed becomes faster thanks to the improved tracking performance which doubles its sampling frequency.
1-area AF (Flexible / Scalable)
With the 1-area AF, the position of the AF area can be freely moved. The AF frame size can also be selected from among Spot, Normal, L, and XL.
Manual Focus
In the manual focus mode, not only the focus distance but also the DOF (depth of field) according to the zoom range and aperture is displayed.
In addition, an MF Assist function enlarges the image to make focusing easier. The focusing area is movable, which also contributes to easy and comfortable manual focusing.
AF/AF-MACRO/MF Mode Button / Focus Button
The AF/AF-MACRO/MF mode button lets you quickly change the focus mode.
The focus button helps to achieve finer focusing. During AF operation, it serves to activate the variable AF area, and during MF operation, it changes to a handy One-shot AF to provide initial focusing. During playback, this function gives you one-touch zoom playback of subjects in focus.
1-cm Macro
The DMC-FZ47(FZ48) lets you get as close as 1cm to your subject. Ideal for taking dynamic, intricate close-ups of flowers and insects, this feature is also great for rendering artwork and handicrafts in spectacular details and rich expression.
3.7fps in 12.1-megapixel Full-resolution
The DMC-FZ47(FZ48) lets you snap off consecutive shots at approx. 3.7 frames per second in full resolution*1. You can take a series of shots, then choose the one you like the best and delete the rest. You can also select High-speed Burst Mode or Flash Burst Mode from Scene Mode.
*1 Focus, exposure, and White Balance will be fixed to the settings for the first picture. Depending on changes in the brightness of the subject, the recording may be brighter or darker from the second picture.
*2 The Burst speed changes according to the recording conditions.
*3 The number of burst recording pictures are limited by the picture-taking conditions and the type and/or status of the card used.
The number of burst recording pictures may increase when you use a card with fast writing speed or card is formatted.
Fast Start-up Time: The parallel processing of software achieves ultra high-speed start-ups.
Short Release Time Lag: The shutter release time lag is as short as approx. 0.005 second, making it easy to capture sudden, spur-of-the-moment photo opportunities.
• Availability of models, product number (DMC-FZ47 or DMC-FZ48), product design and optional accessories may differ depending on the country or region. Check the website of the Panasonic sales company in your country or region.

The bar has broken releasing the flood, the debacle starts.
Harman implicates Brown | Special Reports | Guardian Unlimited Politics
Harriet Harman, the Labour deputy leader, was forced to implicate Gordon Brown deeper into the donor scandal last night as Scotland Yard was called in to investigate the affair.
Harman revealed it had been Brown's campaign coordinator, former minister Chris Leslie, who was running Brown's leadership campaign, who had recommended she seek a donation from Janet Kidd, the proxy of David Abrahams, the controversial businessman who has secretly bankrolled the party with £600,000.
It gets better and better. The whole playground is full of kids now running round pointing fingers at each other, and all the time the head prefect, the one who boasted of his micromanagement and knowledge of everything that was going on, expresses surprise and ignorance of the causes of the whole debacle. He obviously never wondered where the money was coming from....
Philology note - My spell checker failed to recognise debacle so I double checked I had it right - I think it definitely ought to be word of the day...
de·ba·cle (dĭ-bä'kəl, -băk'əl, dĕb'ə-kəl)
1. A sudden, disastrous collapse, downfall, or defeat; a rout.
2. A total, often ludicrous failure.
3. The breaking up of ice in a river.
4. A violent flood.
[French débâcle, from débâcler, to unbar, from Old French desbacler : des-, de- + bacler, to bar (from Vulgar Latin *bacculāre, from Latin baculum, rod).]

Solutions Expo Keynote:
Technology Overview
Performance is key to achieving verification productivity. Yet, traditional brute force approaches to improving performance will only provide incremental benefits, which will not keep up with Moore's Law. Achieving 100x to 1000x improvements in verification performance requires thinking outside the box. This keynote provides a historical survey of ways other industries have faced their performance issues, drawing on examples ranging from Henry Ford to the Intel 8088 microprocessor. Then, based on these observations from other industries, a prescription is offered to address today's verification performance issues. Presenter bio: Functional Verification Division Harry Foster is a principal engineer for the Mentor Graphics Design Verification division. He currently serves as chair of the IEEE 1850 Property Specification Language (PSL) working group. He is the inventor of OVL, the co-author of multiple books and award winning papers on functional verification, and the holder of multiple verification patents.

The alternatives industry is embarking on a new era: one where managers and investors have a unique opportunity to thrive. To take advantage of this new environment, fund managers will need to be flexible and willing to evolve to keep up with changing dynamics.
- Paper Executive Summary
Alternative Fund Management Series with the FT London and New York
HFMWeek SeriesNY Episode One: Hedge funds, Dodd Frank and beyond: the ongoing impact of regulation NY Episode Two: The current focus on risk reporting NY Episode Three: The upside of regulation: The arrival of the Jobs Act NY Episode Four: Benefits and challenges of business diversification NY Episode Five: Operational changes and investor expectations UK Episode One: The impact of regulation: AIFMD UK Episode Two: Coping with the confluence of regulation UK Episode Three: Distribution & diversification UK Episode Four: Achieving operational excellence UK Episode Five: Investors and transparency UK Episode Six: Fees versus costs
- Contact Us
As investors become more knowledgeable, alternative fund managers will need to become more proactive and responsive.
More than 50 percent of alternative fund managers rated investor demands for transparency around risk and performance as one of the biggest drivers of change.
Real estate managers are poised to expand their business over the next five years by adding investment strategies and expanding into new regions. But to take advantage of these opportunities, they will need to address a host of complex challenges.
While navigating squeezing fees and costly regulations, alternative fund managers are also under pressure to have institutional-quality back-office operations and robust infrastructure.
Of the 86 percent of alternative fund managers who expect their costs to rise, 75 percent are optimistic rising costs will not constrain their growth.
Hedge fund managers view the changes taking place in their industry as being primarily investor-driven. In response, they are introducing new products and fee structures – but this might not be enough. Most hedge funds have not made fundamental changes to their risk and operational strategies – an issue that will need to be addressed to gain a competitive edge.
As investor demands increase, the need for robust data and analytics also rises.
Surprisingly, only 15 percent of alternative fund managers have used new technologies to assess performance and risk.
Contact us to learn about how State Street can help your alternatives fund thrive in a new environment.
What was first perceived as an operational burden is turning out to be an opportunity, since regulations provide the transparency and oversight some investors need to feel comfortable investing.
Only 27 percent of private equity managers see regulation as one of their greatest challenges, compared to 41 percent of hedge fund managers and 40 percent of real estate managers.
Private equity managers view investors' demands for transparency as the top driver of change in their industry. In response, they are taking a range of actions: 59 percent of private equity managers are improving alignment with evolving industry standards such as ILPA, BVCA and EVCA and 35 percent of managers are enhancing investor services functions to improve responses to investor inquiries.
Strategy and infrastructure are becoming increasingly important as alternative fund managers look to gain a competitive edge.
82 percent of all alternative fund managers say that fundraising is one of their greatest challenges.

This was a very nice eye cream. It did a decent job of lightly moisturizing my eye area. I don't really have dark circles, so I can't really comment how this would work for that. But I do have some slight fine lines under my eyes. This did seem to make them less noticeable, but it took a long time to work. I took off a lippie for that, because Neutrogena's Healthy Skin eye cream did the same stuff that this one did, and in a fraction of the amount of time. I would probably buy Healthy Skin again before this one, so I marked no for a re-purchase. Plus this stuff was pricey for drugstore! $20 is a little steep for a low end brand, IMO.
I used to use two tubes of this and I just didn't like how this stings. I know that this has retinol, but the concentration of it was just too strong for me. The stinging does go away from time to time.
I have used a prescription Retin A product (actually, generic tretinoin) for 20 years and will continue indefinitely because at age 54, IMO, my skin looks a lot better than many of my peers' skin - not saying I look better, just my skin:-) However, despite all of the benefits of Retin A, it does make my skin very sensitive if I use it more than 3-4 nights a week. For the other nights, I use an OTC retinol product because retinol is not as strong as Retin A (tretinoin) - they are two different products (a fact some reviewers may not realize based on their reviews.) Retinol is an effective anti-aging ingredient, though, and my "alternating products method" is working for me. I had been using the ROC retinol eye product and decided to switch it up to this Neutrogena product. So far (3 weeks) no sensitivity around my eyes but the jury is still out on whether this is moisturizing enough - although the addition of Hyaluronic Acid is encouraging and is the reason I decided to give this a try. Will update. Another point - based on the reviews for this product - one needs to use Retinol or an Rx tretinoin product for a while (not just a week - at least use a full tube) to see results. You can, though, determine sensitivity issues and texture preferences right away. Also, retinol products speed up cell turnover which often results in peeling, redness, break outs, etc. during the first weeks of use. Those side effects, unfortunate as they are, are the price for eventually seeing the results of the only scientifically-proven anti-aging product on the market. When I read how some reviewers gave up on the product right away upon experiencing these side effects, I wish I could tell them to just bear with it, use it every other day until your skin adjusts and it does get much better! When choosing an OTC retinol product, I base my opinion on its texture, comfort, wear-ability, etc.. I don't know anything about the difference between and superiority of this form of Retinol (Retinol SA) vs. the others mentioned on the product's box, but please remember that OTC Retinol is not identical to RX tretinoin (aka Retin A) but it does cause some of the same side effects and it does provide similar anti-aging benefits - stay with it long enough to experience the benefits!

This is a very nice eye cream. As a woman in my early 30's, I have very fine lines under my eyes and want to prevent future wrinkles as much as possible. The formula is lightweight, it literally melts into the skin with minimal rubbing or lightly tapping, it doesn't dry out the eye area and it's quite hydrating. Although I believe all wrinkle repair products can't prevent the aging process, I have to say this helped me a lot with the milia under my eyes. I read that retinol-a is very good for that and I've already seen an improvement. I will repurchase this for sure!

I'm 35 and just starting to see crinkles around my eyes when I smile. I've never really bought into eye creams before- I usually just use whatever goes on the rest of my face. I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised by this cream. It's light, wears well under makeup, and brightens my under eye area. At night I I use it along with a couple of drops of Argan oil for extra moisture. Not bad for the price.
I really like this eye cream, it's a lightweight hydrating cream that really helps plump up fine lines. I'm only 22 but I get little lines under my eyes from smiling. I find that after using this product for a couple of days my eye area gets a little dry and flaky but after it peels off my eye area looks a lot more refreshed and supple. My skin loves retinol and I think this is a great gentle eye cream for the eye area.
I got this free with the daytime moisturizer from the same line (which is very good I must say!!) and while I probably wouldn't have bought it on its own it has definitely improved fine lines around my eyes and crows feet in a matter of weeks. I am only 23 so I do not have deep lines but there is a noticeable improvement. It has a slight burning sensation when I apply it, however this dissipates quickly.

So I gave this eye cream a try because I got it for free from a friend at J&J. Just some background info on me: I usually only get 4-5 hours of sleep every night, and have very dark circles and a few fine lines. So I am looking more for an eye cream that would help with my dark circles.
I felt like it moisturized well, but other than that did fairly little for my fine lines and circles.
I used it religiously night and day for about three months. I liked that my concealer would go on smoothly after I applied this.
I won't be repurchasing because I know that there are better eye creams out there.
My mom gave me this cream after she tried it and didn't like it. I love it! I use it only at night. It makes the skin under my eyes soft and smoother looking. I have definitely seen a difference around my eyes in terms of fine lines. I am only in my 20s, but I have seen a difference with firmness as well. Since my mom didn't like it, I wouldn't use this as a product to reverse wrinkles, but rather use this to prevent them. Good stuff!
Not a fan. I have been using it about a month with no visible results. It does not appear to be very moisturizing, either. I still have to use my good old Vitamin E cream over it morning and night otherwise every tiny line under my eyes is magnified and my eyes feel tight. Not worth the $20 I paid for this miniscule tube of cream. Might be good for someone in their 20's but no so much for anyone who truly has fine lines around the eyes. Won't be repurchasing but I will finish out the tube I have.
