- Description
These pigs were individually decorated by local artists as a fund-raising initiative for the "Two Tunnels" sustainable transport project (www.twotunnels.org.uk /). They were on public display on the streets of Bath for six months in 2008 and were a great tourist attraction. You can see some of the pigs in their original locations by searching on the keyword "Bladud" and some of the snapshots have comments with links to the pig in the snapshot like this: www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=6439&snapshot_id=31294.
The original pig was sculpted by Alan Dun: www.alandun.co.uk and www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=11385&snapshot_id=31484.
There are over 100 pigs in total. This pano shows most of them. Sadly for the public, the pigs were sold at public auction. Happily for the Two Tunnels project, they raised a great deal of money. At least one pig sold for tens of thousands of pounds.

PIG ID PUZZLE (Open Research Problem, Experts Only)
Are any of the following pigs in this pano?
Update. It seems that two of these pigs have been identified now by Texas_Photo - see comments below.

cute baby.. :D www.uresma.com/paypal-money-adder- that-works /
Hi Jason! Thanks for reminding us all about 3d-360.com. The stupid new system doesn't email us when people post new comments so I have only just seen your post :(
It is a 360 degree panorama, so check out this stunning panorama in a 360 degree viewer here www.3d-360.com/11099
You now have a reference source that provides at least one suggestion to create a communal project. Can you imagine the excitement that your previous students would enjoy if they were the main participants in creating a memorable project ... just think ... for the first time in their lives they would be proud of what they accomplished. :) This is just a thought on my part ... nothing more.
That's an excellent idea and not dissimilar to one we had for doing something on Great Pultney Street but it got squashed by the council at the last minute. The gigapan class is now formally over but there is some scope for further activity and any suggestions will be gratefully received. For those that don't know about the class see share.gigapan.org/profiles/39861/
Have you perhaps considered what might be a novel situation for you and your Holborne Museum class? ... to generate some sort of art work, like these pigs we see in this panorama, that would create some excitement in Bath, and if I might take a leap forward by saying this, maybe the generated excitement may even be greater that what Bath experienced with the pigs ... just a thought, and more later :)
LOL, I hadn't noticed that: adding a comment that says nothing but "Hey look at my stuff". How lame. I'm going to flag it as inappropriate.
Looks as if triopetra only wanted to find fame by leaving a comment on what he thought was the best GigaPan he saw during his very brief visit. I agree with his motive.

Months ago, when you posted this comment,' PIG ID PUZZLE (Open Research Problem, Experts Only),' I thought you were speaking of me :) Sorry for the confusion... of the current 69,659 total views of this magnificant GigaPan, close to a 1000 are from me :)
The 'Experts' in the 'Experts Only' of the title of this puzzle was intended to refer to people who lived and breathed King Bladud's Pigs during the time of the event. It's so hard that it is more of an open research problem than something for which I was expecting an answer. However, you are definitely an expert when it comes to finding fine detail in gigapans David, so your attempt intrigues me. After due consideration I am awarding you 1.95 out of 3 - a good score for an open research problem by a non-Bladudian pig expert. Further comments under each of your snapshots. The judge's decision is not final. He is open to rational debate, reasoned argument and bribes.
Per you contest for "Experts," the following have been found: PIG ID PUZZLE (Experts Only) Are any of the following pigs in this pano? www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id= 6439&snapshot_id=31293www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id= 7541&snapshot_id=31296www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id= 7459&snapshot_id=31285And are in this GigaPan as snapshots: Pig Found 1 Pig Found 2 Pig Found 3 Hunting these babies down is worth a Cuban cigar :)
I agree about audio. When I was taking share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?i d=20541 there were African drums playing very loudly as part of a festival going on outside - that would have been great to have captured. On the other hand, do I really want to carry audio recording gear as well as all the gigapan paraphernalia? Perhaps there should be a bit of RAM and a microphone in the GigaPan?
What would really, really be cool is if you could embed audio when upon clicking a button, we could hear you describe this incredible scene taken in front of the Royal Crescent.
Thanks for the offer but it is very easy to embed gigapans now - you simply click on the "embed" button and the system generates the HTML for you.
i dont like pigs but this pigs are very sweety :). i collect this kind of beautyfull panoramas in my site. you can see this panoramas www.megapanorama.com if you want to embed panoramas in your site . i can help you .
Hello Tim, Sorry it has taken me a while to notice your comment. (I have over 200 gigapans ...) It is indeed great fun, and if you have a brass neck, it can get you into all sorts of interesting places. Eg the centre of a ring of 80 decorated brass pigs being viewed by 300 people - I had no official status, I simply asked. The H7 has proved to be an excellent camera. The fact that it is made by Sony seems to put a lot of people off - but it really is their loss. Nearly all my gigapans are taken with the H7. Lately I was given a Canon SD880 to learn to use for a Gigapan Training workshop (www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id= 19846) and I have to say that works well. The single problem with the H7 is that it is too big to fit on my Gigapan Beta (the same size I believe as the Epic), but as you can tell this hasn't stopped me using it: I simply tie the camera on to the bracket using a compression strap. Gigapan Systems are sending me an Epic 100 which is designed for slightly larger cameras (not DSLRs though) - I can't wait to see how that works with the H7. One issue with the H7 is that it has a great optical zoom, but if you use it at its maximum then you tend to end up with a *lot* of images. Obvious. What isn't so obvious is you need some significant computer power to use those images in a gigapan. I've got a quad-core PC with 4GB and that is barely enough for my bigger panos (600 images). And just don't get me started on how many terabyte drives you get through! Let me know if you want to know anything else.
Oops. I just noticed the Stitcher Notes: view button - Newbie mistake. Any subjective info you can share would be nice. Again, looks like great fun.
Nice gigapan photo! Can you share details like how long it took to complete the series of photos? Your resolution setting? Amount of memory used? Also I have a DSC-H9. I see you used the H7. Does it work well for you? Is the H9 also compatible? Whatever you can share, I would appreciate. It looks like great fun.
Hi Judy, I think you misunderstood me. I was not saying you are wrong - I am saying you are quite right. And not only are there two occurrences of a man and a woman between pigs 8 and 9 as you correctly point out, there are in fact many more examples of this problem throughout the entire photo. As David says, this kind of problem can be found in any gigapan image that has anything moving in the shot such as a boat or a person or cars.

Arts and Transit plans approved; construction to begin in 2013
Posted December 19, 2012; 10:30 a.m.
Princeton University's Arts and Transit Neighborhood project has been approved by the Regional Planning Board of Princeton, and the University will break ground in early 2013. The site plan, above, shows the location of new arts, transit and retail buildings, as well as infrastructure and landscaping improvements. Click to enlarge.

The Regional Planning Board of Princeton approved Princeton University's proposed Arts and Transit neighborhood plan at a meeting Tuesday, Dec. 18, by a vote of 9-1. The approval clears the way for the University to break ground in early 2013.
The plan, for an area along University Place and Alexander Street just south of the McCarter Theatre Center and just east of Forbes College, includes three new arts buildings, which are being designed by the world-renowned architect Steven Holl, to house the Lewis Center for the Arts and some functions of the Department of Music. The plan also includes designs by the award-winning architect Rick Joy for a new Dinky train station and Wawa convenience store, and renovation of the existing rail station buildings for a restaurant and café. Infrastructure improvements to the site and adjacent roadways, a multimodal transit center and extensive landscaping are also part of the project.
Last fall, Princeton Borough and Princeton Township granted zoning approval for the plans. The planning board's vote Tuesday provided the final site plan approval needed for the Arts and Transit project, which was a major component of the University's 10-year comprehensive Campus Plan, announced in 2006. The project furthers University President Shirley M. Tilghman's initiative to make the arts a central feature of the academic experience at Princeton.
"I want to express my appreciation to the Planning Board members and staff for all of the time they devoted to this project and for giving us the green light to proceed with a project that I am convinced will have a transformative impact on the arts at the University and in the community," Tilghman said. "I believe the project will create an attractive new gateway into the community and will meet a broad range of goals related to transit issues and sustainability that are important to both the community and the University."
The Lewis Center for the Arts, established in 2007, will have office space, classrooms, galleries and performance venues within the new complex, which is expected to be completed in 2017.
"I'm delighted that we have moved on to the next stage of this project — one that will bring new artistic energy and excitement to our community as a whole," said Michael Cadden, chair of the Lewis Center for the Arts and a senior lecturer in theater. "Along with my colleagues at the Lewis Center and in the Department of Music, I look forward to collaborating with our students, our friends at the McCarter, and the greater Princeton community in making this neighborhood a site for the making and enjoyment of art that will be the envy of the world."
The plan builds upon on the neighborhood's existing arts and transit elements, the McCarter Theatre Center and the New Jersey Transit Dinky train that runs between Princeton and Princeton Junction.
"Over the past six years we have had numerous opportunities to discuss our plan with members of the Planning Board, municipal officials, and other members of the public in connection with the community's review of its master plan, in obtaining zoning that permitted the development of this site to support the arts, and in seeking approval for a plan that fully conforms to the zoning and integrates infrastructure improvements, exceptional landscape design, and buildings designed by two of the country's leading architects," said Vice President and Secretary Robert Durkee. "We will now do our best to keep the community fully informed about the construction schedule and to minimize disruption as much as possible as we now proceed with the development of the site."
The arts buildings, totaling 139,000 square feet, will be the Wallace Dance Building and Theater, a music building, and a building with multiple uses such as administrative space, a box office and a gallery. In addition, the Arts and Transit neighborhood will provide community spaces such as a broad public walkway, an Arts Plaza, a Transit Plaza and a large forum space that opens on to the Transit Plaza as well as each of the buildings on the Arts Plaza.
The transit portion of the project will include a new roundabout at the intersection of University Place and Alexander Street; a new pedestrian crossing at Forbes College; and a Transit Plaza featuring the new station, the new Wawa store, stops for buses, taxis and shuttles, bicycle rental and storage facilities, permit and meter parking, and a new access road to the University's West Garage.
Sustainability — in the form of reduced carbon emissions and improved stormwater management — is a key consideration in the traffic flow improvements to the area and the design of the new buildings and spaces.

Ubiquinone, also known as coenzyme Q10, is an antioxidant compound found in the cells of all higher animals. More specifically, it makes its home inside the mitochondria of cells where it's involved in generating ATP, the energy currency that drives all cells. Because it's important for energy production, it's present in greatest amounts in organs that have high energy requirements like the heart, kidney and liver. ATP not only provides the energy needed for the function of organs like the heart, it powers all muscle movements.
Ubiquinone is vital for cellular energy production, but it's also a potent antioxidant that protects cells against the damaging effects of free radicals. Free radicals are unpaired electrons generated by cells when they're exposed to oxygen. These unpaired electrons "grab onto" structures inside cells and damage them. This is believed to play a role in aging and may contribute to certain diseases such as cancer. Ubiquinone helps to keep free radicals from doing their damage by donating electrons to them, rendering them harmless. It also has the ability to regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin E and vitamin C.
Since ubiquinone is a such a powerful antioxidant, some research suggests taking it as a supplement may treat or help to prevent certain diseases or even slow down the aging process. Levels of coenzyme Q10 decrease with age and are lower in people who have certain health problems like cancer or heart disease. Some medications like statins used for lowering cholesterol decrease ubiquinone levels. That's why doctors often recommend coenzyme Q10 or ubiquinone supplements to people taking these drugs. In addition, preliminary evidence suggests that ubiquinone is beneficial for treating migraine headaches, Parkinson's disease and heart failure. It also lowers blood pressure and blood sugar levels, making it useful for those with hypertension and diabetes. There's ongoing research looking at its potential to prevent or treat cancer. Many health food stores sell ubiquinone as an oral supplement. Food sources of ubiquinone include fish, game meats and whole grains, although diet isn't a significant source of coenzyme Q10. That's why supplements are a popular way to get this antioxidant compound.
As an antioxidant, topical ubiquinone also offers skin anti-aging benefits. When skin is exposed to sunlight, it generates free radicals that damage collagen and elastin, two proteins that give skin its support and ability to "bounce back." This is one of the ways sun exposure causes skin to age prematurely. Ubiquinone has the advantage of being able to penetrate the epidermis of the skin. This allows it to reach the dermis where it blocks the production of an enzyme called collagenase that breaks down collagen.
Because ubiquinone protects skin against damage due to sun exposure and prevents the breakdown of collagen, some cosmetic manufacturers and makers of skin care products are adding it to their products. Some products that contain this powerful antioxidant are facial moisturizers, eye creams, sunscreens and other anti-aging skin care products. When using products that contain ubiquinone, it's best to choose products that are packed in opaque bottles since some antioxidants break down when they're exposed to light. When used and stored properly, topical antioxidants like ubiquinone may provide extra protection against the aging effects of free radicals, although it doesn't replace the need for a sunscreen. Fortunately, some sunscreens include ubiquinone or coenzyme Q10 as an ingredient.
Is it safe? Coenzyme Q10 appears to be safe as an oral supplement, although some people experience a drop in blood pressure or blood sugar levels while taking it. It can also cause minor digestive upset, insomnia and headache, although this isn't common. People who take blood thinners shouldn't take it orally without consulting their doctor first. Ubiquinone appears to be safe in quantities found in skin care products and cosmetics. The Environmental Working Group Skin Deep Cosmetics Database classifies it as a low hazard cosmetic ingredient. Unlike some topical antioxidants like vitamin C, ubiquinone doesn't frequently cause skin irritation or redness.
All in all, ubiquinone is a potent antioxidant that helps to protect cells against damage. It has benefits both as an oral supplement and as an ingredient in cosmetics and skin care products formulated for more mature skin. It also has an excellent safety profile.

The Beauty of God in Beiseker, Alberta, Canada
This is the grace and the beauty of God in Canada Alberta Beiseker
Monitor your media intake in Canada Alberta Beiseker
II Samuel 12:13. "Then David said to Nathan, 'I have sinned against the Lord.'" Do you see that? Every time you sin, no matter what it is but especially sexually, you sin against the Lord. So when you have sex outside the marriage bed there are always three people involved, you, the person you are having sex with and the Lord. He is always there. And when you think about that, when you think about putting Jesus with you in the bed of adultery, when you think about putting Jesus with you into the bed of premarital sex or homosexuality or lesbianism, that will change entirely the way we live. David said, I have sinned against the Lord. Then Nathan replied, "The Lord has taken away your sin." The Lord easily at this point could have turned his back on David but He didn't and this is the grace and the beauty of God in in Beiseker, Alberta, Canada . Four points, four responses to sexual temptation.
Now let's bring this whole message down to the practical side of life, let's bring it down to where we live. I want to give you some guidelines, some specific guidelines, concerning sexual temptation. First, monitor your media intake. One movie that has an explicit sexual scene can feed lustful thoughts for weeks. "But the movie was so good. I love Michael Douglas. Sharon Stone has something else about her. I really don't think about it. I'm married." Who are you trying to fool? I was born at night, but not last night. God knows. How about the channel surfing? Different talk shows, the made for TV movies, Showtime, HBO, Cinemax. Any exposure to pornographic materials is like throwing a lighted match into a pool of gasoline. Romance novels? Monitor your media intake in in Beiseker, Alberta, Canada .

Perspective on: Internationalism at Princeton
Posted February 17, 2011; 12:00 p.m.
Name: Diana Davies
Title: Vice provost for international initiatives
Administrative focus: Davies joined Princeton in 2008 to help carry out the goals outlined in the 2007 report "Princeton in the World" that maps out an international vision for the University. She works with academic leaders and senior administrators to implement policies and programs that support international opportunities for Princeton students, faculty and staff. She serves as secretary to the Council for International Teaching and Research, the faculty governance board that provides leadership and advocacy for international endeavors, and she also works to forge new links between Princeton and universities abroad. Davies has a doctoral degree in comparative literature and studies Russian, Spanish and Czech.
One of the key goals outlined in the "Princeton in the World" report was to enhance international experiences for undergraduates. Why does the University feel going abroad should be an integral part of students' time at Princeton?
The reasons are both practical and idealistic. First, we live in a global economy and being able to communicate with people from other cultures will help students in anything they do. Even if they never leave the United States, knowing another language and being familiar with other cultures are important skills that can help students after they graduate. We know employers are foremost looking for candidates with expertise in their particular field, but if that candidate also speaks another language and understands the cultural nuances necessary for working with clients or colleagues in another part of the world, he or she is in an even better position.

Second, Princeton is producing graduates who are likely to become leaders in their field, so we are in some ways obligated to make sure our students are open-minded and can appreciate alternative perspectives and other cultures. The best thing we can do for a lot of our students is to push their boundaries and comfort zones. One way to do this is to have them go somewhere where they may not yet speak the language very well or even where they just need to remember to look the right way when crossing the street. The horizons that open during an international experience can be quite amazing, and it is virtually impossible to replicate that in another environment.
About 47 percent of undergraduate students have an international experience, and we want to get that number up to 100 percent. Although many of our graduate students also study and conduct research abroad, we'd like to increase their opportunities to spend significant periods of time studying and researching at partner institutions overseas.
How is the University working to enhance international opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, and increase the number of students who are able to travel abroad in various ways?
A lot of our focus has been on getting rid of the barriers to international experiences, while at the same time creating more opportunities.
One institutional effort is to change students' mindset that they cannot go abroad. When I speak with alumni, some say they were not encouraged to study abroad while they were students. Some felt they could not manage time abroad with their academic commitments and independent work, while others did not want to miss the great educational experiences at Princeton if they left for a semester. We are working to overcome these assumptions and show students there are many ways to have an international experience that complements, not competes with, their life on campus.
The Office of International Programs has developed programs targeted to students in specific majors that traditionally have lower levels of participation. We now have an exchange program with Università Bocconi in Milan for economics students and a program at the École Centrale Paris that was developed with the School of Engineering and Applied Science, to name a couple. The Graduate School also supports a number of exchange programs for graduate students in a wide variety of fields, such as programs at the University of Oxford, the Freie Universitaet Berlin and other top-notch European institutions.
We also are working to overcome practical impediments to students being able to have some kind of international experience.
Mark Limperis, a 2010 graduate, visited Machu Picchu while studying abroad in Buenos Aires through the Argentine Universities Program. The program in Argentina is one of the many semester- or academic year-long study abroad opportunities available to students through the Office of International Programs. The University also offers a variety of international programs over the summer. (Photo courtesy of the Office of International Programs)
We are in the process of creating a central funding portal for undergraduates, which we hope to roll out next academic year. Students will be able to use the online database to see all of the offices and programs with funding available for their particular international endeavor, whether that be credit-bearing study abroad, research opportunities, an international internship or an international service program. The portal also will allow the various offices to work together to help fund a student's trip. This way, offices will be able to better coordinate resources so more students have an opportunity to go abroad.
Another practical step has been the enhancement of the University's travel registration database. Undergraduate and graduate students can enter their information and itineraries before traveling abroad so we know where they are and can help ensure their safety. Faculty and staff also are encouraged to use the database. We've been able to use this to great effect in a number of cases when there was a natural disaster or other emergency in another country. For example, we were able to use this recently to locate all of our undergraduates studying in Egypt when political unrest broke out unexpectedly in the country. This was critical to our efforts to get them assistance and make arrangements for them to leave the country as quickly as possible.
When universities talk about undergraduates gaining international experiences, many people think of studying abroad. How is the University promoting international opportunities outside of the traditional junior semester abroad?
Well, of course, there is the Bridge Year Program launched by the University in 2009 for incoming freshmen. Bridge Year allows a group of students to delay the start of their freshman year to participate in service projects at one of four international locations.
Students explore St. Petersburg, Russia, during the Global Seminar "The Future Is Now: Revolution and Utopia in Early Soviet Culture." The seminars are organized by the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies and are led by Princeton faculty. Students are able to spend six weeks during the summer in a country at the heart of the courses' subject matter. (Photo courtesy of the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies)
We also are concentrating on summer and other short-term opportunities, whether they are credit-bearing study abroad programs, international internships or senior thesis research trips. Last year, 209 students studied abroad during the academic year, while 375 studied abroad during the summer. Nearly 200 had international summer internships administered by the Office of International Programs and hundreds more conducted research abroad for their senior thesis or went abroad for other short-term opportunities. Because there are many students who do not want to leave during the academic year, a summer abroad is a value added to their Princeton experience.
One great example is the Global Seminars program organized by the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies. The program allows freshmen, sophomores and juniors to spend six weeks during the summer in a country at the heart of the seminars' subject matter. For example, one of this summer's groups is traveling to Galway for a course on performance and theater in contemporary Ireland. The classes are led by Princeton faculty and instructors from the host university, so students get outside of the "orange bubble" while still maintaining that Princeton connection.
We also are looking at ways to encourage students to go abroad earlier in their academic careers. Most students do not declare their majors until the end of sophomore year, so having an international experience before then may be a wonderful way to open their eyes to different perspectives before they focus on curriculum requirements.
The University's Bridge Year Program allows a group of students to delay the start of their freshman year to participate in service projects at one of four international locations. Ryan Fauber (far left), who is currently participating in a Bridge Year in Ghana, enjoys some free time with local residents while in Accra. (Photo courtesy of the Bridge Year Program)
Speaking of the Bridge Year Program, now that the first 20 students have begun their freshman year, how do you see their experiences affecting student life on campus?
Whenever I travel abroad, one thing I often hear is that Princeton should be proud of the way we approach international service, and the Bridge Year Program is the perfect illustration of that. I see the program as a jumping-off point for a number of international and service opportunities a student could have while at Princeton.
You could imagine a future in which students go on a Bridge Year, do an international internship the summer of their freshman year, study abroad for a semester their junior year, write a senior thesis using another language and then participate in an affiliated program like Princeton in Africa after they graduate. We would be saying to the world, "We are not just a globally networked institution; we are a university that is interested in graduating students who are international service-oriented leaders."
To promote this continuum of experience, we will have to look more closely at how to empower Bridge Year students once they are on campus. For instance, what do we do with Bridge Year students who were in Ghana and may now speak Twi? We will have to be creative about the ways we help students sharpen the intercultural and linguistic skills they gained while away.
We also want to connect Bridge Year students with other students on campus who took their own gap year to keep the Bridge Year students' spark for international service alive. These students also can serve as ambassadors, sharing their experiences and encouraging peers to think about going abroad.
Another aspect of the University's global efforts is promoting a diverse campus community that supports international and intercultural perspectives. In your experience, what have been the most fruitful ways to create this type of community?
There are a lot of different ways, and the University's Council for International Teaching and Research has been actively involved in these efforts.
One step has been encouraging faculty to develop more international connections for their students. We have a wonderful resource in our faculty, both professors from other countries and professors who engage in research partnerships across the world. How do we get them to bring their international experiences and research into the classroom? One way is through the use of technology, as many of our classrooms have Web and video capabilities that allow students to work in real time with students or professors across the globe. Instead of assigning a class project, why not assign students to work with a team in France?
The council also has been promoting intercultural exposures on campus through the creation of the Global Scholars Program, which brings academics from outside the United States into multiyear teaching appointments in all disciplines. A requirement is that visitors must interact with students, whether it is teaching a course or giving public lectures. One example is Professor Ge Zhaoguang from Fudan University in China, who is a great resource for faculty and graduate students in the East Asian studies department. He also is a real connection builder, and partly as a result of his stay here, we now have a three-way partnership between Fudan University, the University of Tokyo and Princeton.
The council also oversees the new Global Collaborative Networks Fund, which supports the development of international scholarly networks that engage Princeton with centers of learning worldwide. The program has been a particular benefit for graduate students by providing international research opportunities. The mathematics department, for instance, was awarded a grant to facilitate an exchange of graduate students at institutions including the University of Cambridge, the Independent University of Moscow and the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics in Bonn, Germany.
Outside of the classroom, the Davis International Center serves as a key link for international students and scholars following last year's restructuring of the University's international services. What are some of the center's new or expanded programs that the campus may not yet be aware of?

An exciting endeavor is the new International Programs Advisory Board, which includes representative international undergraduate and graduate students who help develop Davis Center programming. We want to be sure we are offering activities and events that are not just what administrators think are interesting, but are actually things students want. It is great to see some of the new ideas being discussed by the board, and to have students feel that they have ownership of the center's programming efforts.
The Davis Center also is trying to do more for the hundreds of international visiting scholars, as well as the families that often accompany them to the United States. We want the center to be a resource for these visitors, whether they have a question about a visa issue or are looking to make connections with other international communities on campus.
Along these same lines, we also are stepping up efforts to help international students navigate U.S. culture through various programs and activities. Close to 40 percent of graduate students are citizens of foreign countries, and international students make up 11 percent of the undergraduate population. By making the transition for these students easier, we hope they will feel more comfortable engaging with the campus community. These efforts also will benefit U.S. students because international students will feel more empowered to reach out and make connections with different groups across campus.

A visitor enjoys the paintings in "Student Art: Work From the Fall 2007 Semester," a group show in the Lucas Gallery, 185 Nassau St., through Feb. 15. The show also features ceramics, sculpture, drawing and photography.
Among the works on display is this piece by sophomore Katie Zaeh, which is part of a series titled "Shells" from her introductory sculpture course.
At left, top and bottom: Those attending the show's opening on Feb. 5 checked out the artwork in the Lucas Gallery. In addition, they attended a film and video screening in the Stewart Film Theater highlighting the work of the fall semester courses in video and film production taught by lecturer Keith Sanborn.

Taking creative risks with matter, materials and ideas
Posted February 8, 2008; 03:59 p.m.
The Program in Visual Arts is presenting "Student Art: Work From the Fall 2007 Semester," a group show featuring ceramics, sculpture, painting, drawing and photography, through Friday, Feb. 15, in the Lucas Gallery, 185 Nassau St.
At the conclusion of every semester, the Lewis Center for the Arts sponsors an exhibition of student work selected from each of the visual arts courses.
According to lecturer Brian Jermusyk, who teaches drawing and painting, "The student art exhibition marks the end of the semester's courses, 'the finish line' so to speak. And the metaphor is apt, for it is the culmination of months of tremendous efforts, focused energies and creative risks taken with matter, materials and ideas ... all now resting on breathless view in the Lucas Gallery. As the exhibitions often mark the start of another semester, they equally offer the gifts and make invitations to the new experiences and challenges that reside in the Lewis Center for the Arts."
Among the many works of art in the exhibition are a collection of time-lapse digital photographs in panoramic view, some spanning up to six feet, by senior Michael Baity.
The exhibition is free and open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays.

Continuing a long investigation into the intimate tradition of the pressed-flower album and the preserved botanical specimen, she reconstructs such transient objects in silver, another natural but more permanent material. Group of four vessels has resulted from Blyfield's research into plant specimens in botanical collections in the United Kingdom, and in the Herbarium and the Museum of Economic Botany at the Adelaide Botanic Garden. These pod-like works are an exploration of non-specific organic forms found in nature and they further develop the chased, striated surface patterns that Blyfield developed in her earlier work, based on the tradition of mourning jewellery and the hair locket.

With bag-lined the lining is simply stitched onto the curtain fabric and inverted. Although a more affordable method, it allows the edges to 'roll'.
Blind hemming
With blind hemming, the lining is stitched to the curtain fabric and the seam is also part of the back of the curtain cloth about five centimetres in from the edge. This is done by carefully loosening some of the threads at the back of the material so the stitching is virtually invisible on the face. It offers a much cleaner appearance and in our view the curtains hang better. When comparing our products with what others call 'made-to-measure', you should be certain to double-check this point.
Curtain "fullness"
Fullness is the number of widths of fabric that will be used for the width of your track or rail. Opinions differ in the trade for any given track size, but of course it will make a lot of difference to the price. Always make sure you know how many widths of curtains you are being given quotes for when comparing prices.
With so many being unbranded it is hard to see whether you are getting value for what you pay. What is important however is the final price of the curtain. So we have put our costs in price groups so that the only price that matters is the end product.

Students pitch ideas during business plan competition
Posted February 13, 2009; 12:53 p.m.
The Princeton University Entrepreneurship Club will hold the final day of its ninth annual TigerLaunch Business Plan Competition from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21, in McCosh 10.
The event is the culmination of a competition that began in early December in which teams of students develop ideas for new businesses and write formal business plans. They then pitch their plans to a panel of judges with expertise in venture capital, investment banking and entrepreneurship. Winners will take home $25,000 in cash and other prizes.
The top two teams are offered free office space for the summer at Plug and Play Tech Center in Silicon Valley, a community of more than 200 technology startup companies in the areas of Web 2.0, software, systems, semiconductors and telecommunications. They will receive free legal advice from startup lawyers and mentorship from venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and CEOs.
The climax of the TigerLaunch event will come between 2:30 p.m. and 4:15 p.m., when the five finalist teams present their plans to the audience and the judges.

|Montevideo, founded by the Spanish in 1726 as a military stronghold, soon took advantage of its natural harbor to become an important commercial center. Claimed by Argentina but annexed by Brazil in 1821, Uruguay declared its independence four years later and secured its freedom in 1828 after a three-year struggle. The administrations of President Jose BATLLE in the early 20th century established widespread political, social, and economic reforms that established a statist tradition. A violent Marxist urban guerrilla movement named the Tupamaros, launched in the late 1960s, led Uruguay's president to cede control of the government to the military in 1973. By yearend, the rebels had been crushed, but the military continued to expand its hold over the government. Civilian rule was not restored until 1985. In 2004, the left-of-center Frente Amplio Coalition won national elections that effectively ended 170 years of political control previously held by the Colorado and Blanco parties. Uruguay's political and labor conditions are among the freest on the continent.

Uruguay has a free market economy characterized by an export-oriented agricultural sector, a well-educated work force, and high levels of social spending. Following financial difficulties in the late 1990s and early 2000s, economic growth for Uruguay averaged 8% annually during the period 2004-08. The 2008-09 global financial crisis put a brake on Uruguay's vigorous growth, which decelerated to 2.6% in 2009. Nevertheless, the country managed to avoid a recession and keep positive growth rates, mainly through higher public expenditure and investment, and GDP growth reached 8.9% in 2010 but fell to about 3.5% in 2012, the result of a renewed slowdown in the global economy and in Uruguay's main trade partners and Common Market of the South (Mercosur) counterparts, Argentina and Brazil. Uruguay has sought to expand trade within Mercosur and with non-Mercosur members. Uruguay''s total merchandise trade with Mercosur since 2006 has increased by nearly 70% to more than $5 billion while its total trade with the world has almost doubled to roughly $20 billion.

- Description
A taggable version of this image is on The Oregonian newspaper web site ...
The Portland Timbers rolled past Chicago 4-2 in their first MLS home game in front of 18,627 at sold-out Jeld-Wen Field Thursday night. The constant rain that started hours before the game did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd, which was sent into a fever pitch with the pregame ceremonies that included fireworks, giant banners and the Timbers Army singing the national anthem.
Oregonian photographer Bruce Ely - www.bruceely.com / - created this Gigapan during the Timbers home opener on April 14, 2011. The image is made up of 612 individual photos taken over a 45-minute span and stitched together to form one large image. The final high resolution picture is 122,832 X 39,472 pixels or 4,848 megapixels. The image is not supposed to represent one moment in the game. There are numerous stitching "errors". These are usually caused by a person that is partially in a picture moving to a different location by the time my camera made another pass.

I am considering the purchase of this Gigapan Pro. I notice, when zoomed in close, that a lot of stitching issues are present. One of the security men standing to the left of the closest goal is cut in half....but this is throughout the pano. What software did you use to do this stitching.
Nice Pano! I'm new in this of Gigapaning, and I'm wondering in this cases of a stadium if you use autofocus or manual? Thanks!
Awesome use of gigapan! Captured the "moment" #rctid

Nearly 1,300 Princeton University alumnae and their guests gathered on campus for a weekend of stimulating conversations, thought-provoking lectures and emotional connections during the "She Roars: Celebrating Women at Princeton" conference, April 28 to May 1. The "She Roars: Conference Highlights" video captures some of the excitement of the event, including remarks from keynote speakers and photos.
The Alumni Association has created an electronic scrapbook of the conference featuring full session videos, photos, social media links and more.

"She Roars" keynote speakers included Princeton alumnae: U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a class of 1976 graduate; Lisa Jackson, a member of the graduate class of 1986 and head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; Andrea Jung, a class of 1979 graduate and chairman and CEO of Avon Products, Inc.; and Wendy Kopp, a class of 1989 graduate and CEO and founder of Teach for America.
In issuing an invitation to the conference, President Shirley M. Tilghman said, "It has been 50 years since Princeton admitted its first female degree candidate, a graduate student in the Department of Oriental Studies, followed by the introduction of undergraduate coeducation in 1969. Together, these events paved the way for the inclusive institution that we know today."
Tilghman invited alumnae to "take this opportunity to engage with members of our University community and each other, to reflect on the evolving role of women on our campus, and to mark the contributions that women have made to Princeton and American society, as well as the challenges that still confront us."
