A succulent plant that grows extremely well in dry climates, the Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) plant does not have stems, and it produces thick, grayish-green leaves with pale coloring. The leaves are covered with small points along the edges. The roots of the Aloe Vera plant are shallow, while the plant itself is formed somewhat like a v-shaped vase. The plant can grow anywhere from several inches in height to several feet, depending on its growing environment.
This perennial plant has been referred to as Barbados Aloe, Elephant's Gall, Lily of the Desert, Curacao Aloe, and Burn Plant. It is a native of much of the eastern and southern areas of Africa, and it is currently grown in many other tropical and subtropical locations. More than five hundred species of the Aloe plant exist. The plant derives its name from the Arabic word for bitter, alloeh, due to the fact that the gel-like liquid within the leaves has a bitter taste to it.
Dating back to the times of the ancient Egyptians, Aloe Vera was known as the plant of immortality. It was presented to dead pharaohs as burial gifts. Stone carvings still exist depicting its uses. The ancient Egyptians utilized the Aloe plant to heal infections, burns, and to clear up the existence of parasites on the body. Ancient Greeks, Spaniards, and Arabs applied Aloe to the body to minimize the occurrence of perspiration and body odor. During the sixteenth century, Aloe made its way to the West Indies and shortly thereafter, it arrived in the Caribbean and America. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, American herbalists relied heavily on Aloe Vera for many of their treatments.
The leaves of this plant contain a clear gel that can be applied to the skin as a topical treatment for the relief of itching from insects, burns, abrasions, and allergic reactions. Some studies indicate that Aloe Vera may be helpful in healing surgical wounds. When dried, this gel can be made into a juice or dried substance for oral use. Early regulations regarding the oral use of Aloe latex have been changed to accommodate the inclusion of newer safety measures.
The leaves of this plant contain a high percentage of water, essential oil, amino acids, minerals, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, essential fatty acids, and glycoproteins. Aloe Vera has been credited with the following capabilities: antibacterial (minimizing the presence of bacteria), antimicrobial (minimizing microbes), antifungal (minimizing the existence of fungus), anthelmintic (reduction in number of parasites and worms), anti-inflammatory (easing of swelling), antiviral (destruction of viruses), vulnerary (wound healing), purgative (performance as an aggressive laxative), and emollient (acts to moisturize and soothe).
Aloe Vera has been credited with the ability to promote cell renewal as it soothes the skin. Taken orally, it is used to cleanse and support the digestive system, infuse energy, and support the immune system. Aloe Vera juice is taken internally to provide relief from common digestive issues such as irritable bowel syndrome and heartburn. It is also taken orally to treat conditions such as osteoarthritis, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes. Topical applications revolve primarily around the treatment of sunburn, burns obtained from sources other than the sun, and psoriasis.
Known for its soothing capabilities, Aloe Vera's use as a medicinal agent dates back to the sixteenth century. Today, it continues to be used in herbal medicine as a healing agent as well as being included in a number of skin care formulations, due to its moisturizing capabilities and healing properties. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has provided approval for Aloe Vera to be used in food.
Aloe Vera is used to treat sunburn due to its soothing, healing, and moisturizing capabilities. It offers relief from the heat caused by sunburn, helping to deliver much-needed hydration and acting as a natural barrier that shields the skin from environmental irritants. As an antibacterial substance, it offers relief from the redness associated with acne while helping to heal breakouts. Enhancing the skin's natural levels of moisture, Aloe Vera is particularly helpful to use on sensitive or dry skin. Its moisturizing capabilities have led to its use in anti-dandruff shampoos. A rich source of many vitamins including A, B, and C, it is used to brighten skin tone and minimize minor pigmentation issues.

Fischer Audio DBA-02
" Introduction A warning before we even get to the review. This is kinda lengthy. I'm not sure how it got so long since it is just one product but yeah it is a bit long. Fischer Audio has slowly gained popularity over the last year or so and there was quite a buzz on them but nothing interested me enough to go out and purchase them. That changed when LFF posted a review on the DBA 02 and..." --rawrster
Fischer Audio DBA-02 Mk II
" The DBA-02 Mk IIs are getting a lot of the same fame and respect their initial version siblings got. While initial comparisons suggest the Mk IIs are not as distinctive as the originals in shining with as fearless a midrange and treble, the major sonic character seems to have carried. (I never heard the originals but have gathered this from others' opinions.) And..." --ScuderiaHeadFi
Fischer Audio ToughStuff-9001
" Straight out of SANSA Clip+ Bass is accurate, punchy and deep, the mids are slightly recessed and the treble is very crisp. Clarity is up to Fischer standards, no veiled sound here. Overall they sound very similar to the ATH M50, but with less recession and greater clarity (though less inviting imaging) These are one of the best IEM's I'ver ever heard, and for the price..." --1eye1derweasil
Fischer Audio Eterna
" So I owned a pair of CX300II's for over 4 years and finally decided to get a new pair. Of course, I was looking to upgrade from the sennheiser in terms of Bass and overall quality. After reading Jokers 131 IEM thread, I decided to get these. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I as looking for a IEM that I would use for 1-2 hours at a time on my way to school, and these are..." --2enty3
Fischer Audio Tandem
" Fischer Audio Tandem I was recently able to hear a loaner pair of Fischer Audio Tandem's and was so impressed, I ended up buying a pair off another head-fier. The FA Tandem is a dual micro dynamic driver phone, which retails for $130. It comes with a velveteen pouch and abundant selection of tips. I often prefer pouches for..." --shotgunshane
Fischer Audio Silver Bullets
"First of all, my favourite genres are Progressive Roch/Metal and Classic, that's important to note for this review, because these IEMs are very specific. If you want a good all round package sound-wise and overall, look elswhere; the Fischer Audio Silver Bullets are uncompromisingly about the sound of drums and electric guitars! Their major weakness lies in their thin and flimsy cable. It's..." --AlfredKeppler
Fischer Audio Evolution
" I hope this ongoing review will help you guys out a little. I will keep adding to this as time progresses and will maybe end up reviewing more Fischer IEM's in this thread. I am not a professional reviewer like some of you guys here and English isn't my native language so bear with me. Now, onwards! My main mission objective is to find the best sub-$100 IEMs in the world. After reading..." --Negakinu

3D Division
|A sequence or photo essay is a group of from two (2) to eighteen (18) stereo images with a text and/or music. Sequences might also be called photo essays, photo-poems or songs, photo stories, or mood pieces. Sequences are vehicles for conveying something from the mind of the maker to others more effectively than is possible with a single image. The 3D Division Sequence Competition has been a slide program with audio cassette tapes and/or audio CDs since the 1960's. Beginning in 2011 entries for this competition are submitted in digital format, either on CDs or by email.
This year's submission deadline: July 11, 2013
The 3D Division Sequence Competition is open to all PSA members. Each member can enter from one (1) to three (3) sequences each year.
There is no restriction regarding the subject matter. Two people may collaborate on a single sequence. Entries must originate as photographs (image-captures of objects via light sensitivity) made by the entrant on photographic emulsion or acquired digitally. Images may be altered, either electronically or otherwise, by the maker and artwork or computer graphics created by the entrant may also be incorporated if the photographic content predominates.
The entrant may provide a recorded cassette tape or CD to accompany the sequence. This tape/CD will be played during the judging, and incorporated into the final exhibition tape if accepted. Tapes or CDs may contain narration, background music, sound effects, and/or any other audible feature, making the entry a total audio-visual package.
A specific essay or travelette may be submitted to only one PSA division each year. The same essay or travelette may be submitted to another division's essay competition in another year.
The entrant to this PSA activity needs to submit a signed Model Release with his/her entry for any portrait image, including all the recognizable likenesses of a human face, which were not taken in a public location. The entrant and model agree to hold PSA harmless against all claims and liabilities arising out of PSA's publication, display, or other use of any portrait image submitted to PSA. Award images will be posted on the PSA web site and selected images may be published in the PSA Journal/Division Newsletters. Portrait images submitted without a Model Release, if selected for an award, will not be posted on the PSA website or published in the PSA Journal/Division Newsletters. For those who do not have a Model Release, a sample Model Release Form is linked below.
Sample Model Release Form - doc
Accepted sequences will receive acceptances toward PSA 3D Star Ratings, but are not credited toward PSA's annual Who's Who in Photography. Each accepted sequence is credited with three (3) acceptances and two (2) title credits. The First, Second, and Third place sequences will each receive four (4) acceptances and two (2) title credits. Regardless of how many sequences are entered and accepted, the maximum number of credits for all accepted sequences by an entrant each year is eight (8) acceptances and four (4) title credits. Acceptance credit for accepted sequences made by multiple makers will be divided equally between the makers. For odd numbers of acceptances in a sequence, the first listed maker will be assumed to be the primary maker, and will receive the extra acceptance credit.
» Sequence Competition Entry form: PDF
There is no fee to enter the competition.
The resulting DVD program of the accepted sequences is available for showing by PSA-member camera clubs. Two linked digital projectors are needed, configured for stereo projection. Contact the Sequence Competition Director to schedule the accepted 3D Division Sequences Program for your club if the club has access to a digital stereo projector. There will be a nominal fee to cover the cost of the DVD and postage.

« Previous Country | Next Country » Back to Flag Counter Overview
|Prior to the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, the Inca ruled northern Chile while the Mapuche inhabited central and southern Chile. Although Chile declared its independence in 1810, decisive victory over the Spanish was not achieved until 1818. In the War of the Pacific (1879-83), Chile defeated Peru and Bolivia and won its present northern regions. It was not until the 1880s that the Mapuche were brought under central government control. After a series of elected governments, the three-year-old Marxist government of Salvador ALLENDE was overthrown in 1973 by a military coup led by Augusto PINOCHET, who ruled until a freely elected president was inaugurated in 1990. Sound economic policies, maintained consistently since the 1980s, have contributed to steady growth, reduced poverty rates by over half, and have helped secure the country's commitment to democratic and representative government. Chile has increasingly assumed regional and international leadership roles befitting its status as a stable, democratic nation.

Chile has a market-oriented economy characterized by a high level of foreign trade and a reputation for strong financial institutions and sound policy that have given it the strongest sovereign bond rating in South America. Exports account for approximately one-third of GDP, with commodities making up some three-quarters of total exports. Copper alone provides 19% of government revenue. From 2003 through 2012, real growth averaged almost 5% per year, despite the slight contraction in 2009 that resulted from the global financial crisis. Chile deepened its longstanding commitment to trade liberalization with the signing of a free trade agreement with the US, which took effect on 1 January 2004. Chile has 22 trade agreements covering 60 countries including agreements with the European Union, Mercosur, China, India, South Korea, and Mexico. Chile has joined the United States and nine other countries in negotiating the Trans-Pacific-Partnership trade agreement. In 2012, foreign direct investment inflows reached $28.2 billion, an increase of 63% over the previous record set in 2011. The Chilean Government has generally followed a countercyclical fiscal policy, accumulating surpluses in sovereign wealth funds during periods of high copper prices and economic growth, and generally allowing deficit spending only during periods of low copper prices and growth. As of 31 December 2012, those sovereign wealth funds - kept mostly outside the country and separate from Central Bank reserves - amounted to more than $20.9 billion. Chile used these funds to finance fiscal stimulus packages during the 2009 economic downturn. In May 2010 Chile signed the OECD Convention, becoming the first South American country to join the OECD.

60 in. Square Organza Overlay Hunter Green
- Serged edges for an elegant look
- Lightweight translucent organza material
- Gentle cycle wash, hang dry
- Square overlays measure 60 x 60 inches
- Pictured on 48 in. round table
This item is discontinued. There will be NO returns or exchanges.
In contrast to a satin overlay, our 60 inch square hunter green organza overlay is subtle, it lets the color of the round tablecloth base or square tablecloth shine through. Organza overlays shine but don't overpower the color of the table cloth beneath them. Especially popular as wedding table overlays, these organza overlays are also great as part of other fine event table linen packages. And when matched with their cousin favor bags and organza chair cover sashes, they will create a shimmering presentation that is nothing less than magical.

Richard II
Richard II opens Shakespeare's epic four-play Henriad, the backstory to England's bloody Wars of the Roses — the saga that ends with Henry V. Good-hearted yet weak, Richard II is fated to be challenged by the aggressive, popular Henry Bolingbroke. At a time when image is everything in American politics, Richard's tragedy poses critical questions about how to govern a divided nation. (Look for the succeeding plays in the tetralogy, Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, in 2014, and Henry V in 2015*.)
* The University reserves the right to cancel or postpone any future performances in this cycle.
On performance evenings, tickets will be available for sale and pick up in the University Theatre box office starting one hour before each play begins.

Echoes in history
When the 31-year-old Shakespeare wrote Richard II in 1595, he was on a roll. Since his first efforts in 1590-91, he had seen 10 of his plays produced, including the four plays which make up what we now call his first tetralogy of English history plays: Henry VI, Parts 1, 2 and 3, and Richard III.
No doubt Shakespeare was encouraged by the success of these plays, and the result was another tetralogy that constituted what we would now call a prequel — four plays focused on the three monarchs who preceded Henry VI: Richard II, Henry IV and Henry V. Beginning with this season's Richard II, CSF hopes to stage the four plays of the second tetralogy with Henry IV, 1 and 2 scheduled for 2014 and Henry V for 2015.
It is a dubious enterprise to make claims of fact about nearly anything dealing with Shakespeare and his plays, including whether he actually wrote them (I believe he did). Nevertheless here are some "facts" about Richard II:
- Richard II is based on events that took place 200 years prior to the play and during the last two years of Richard's reign.
- Richard II was the first of Shakespeare's published plays to acknowledge his authorship, with his name printed for the first time on the title page of the second edition when it was published in 1598.
- Richard II is the only one of Shakespeare's plays written entirely in verse.
- At a time when the publishing of plays was not common (half of Shakespeare's 37 plays were not published during his lifetime), Richard II was published soon after its premiere, followed by three further editions during Shakespeare's lifetime.
- The play's climactic "deposition scene," which we now have as Act 4, was not in the original published version and was not included until the fourth edition, after Elizabeth's death. However, performances and publications were under different censorial authorities, and it is likely that this scene was always part of the performed text.
- In 1601, two years before Elizabeth's death, William Lombarde, Keeper of Records, reported that while looking through historical records, "her Majesty fell upon the reign of Richard Second saying, 'I am Richard Second, know ye not that?'" She went on to say, "this tragedy was 40 times played in open streets and houses." Lombarde did not elaborate on the statement or speculate on what the queen meant. But many scholars have in the 400 years since.
— James Symons, director
The Duke of Gloucester's recent death has brought Henry Bolingbroke and Thomas Mowbray in front of King Richard II with accusations of treason. Before their quarrel can proceed to combat, however, King Richard intervenes and exiles them both, Mowbray forever and Bolingbroke for six years.
Bolingbroke's farewell proves hard on his father and uncle to the king, John of Gaunt. Gaunt dies soon after, and Richard confiscates Gaunt's land, properties and wealth in the name of the crown in order to furnish his wars in Ireland, even though all should have been inherited by Bolingbroke.
When he hears of this, Bolingbroke immediately returns to England at the head of an army to reclaim his birthright. With Richard in Ireland and rumors abounding that he has been killed in battle, Richard's Welsh supporters side with Bolingbroke, and the king returns to England to find he has little hope of prevailing in a confrontation with Bolingbroke.
Richard takes refuge in Flint Castle to await the now all-powerful Bolingbroke. Bolingbroke reiterates his desire for the return of his titles and the overturning of his banishment. The two sides agree to travel together to London. There, conspiracies abound and tempers run high until the Duke of York arrives with news that Richard has designated Bolingbroke his heir and has yielded the throne.
When the bishop protests, Richard is fetched to resign his crown in person. Bolingbroke, now King Henry IV, sends Richard to the Tower of London and prepares for his coronation. On the way to the tower, Richard is sent to Pomfret instead, where Exton arrives to kill him, thinking this is King Henry's wish. When King Henry discovers Richard's death, he condemns Exton, fearing what this may portend for his reign, and vows a pilgrimage to the Holy Land as penance.

It's a family affair: Inheritance in Richard II
At its heart, Richard II is a family story. A grandfather passes his inheritance to his grandson but the uncles and cousins don't fade away. They play their parts in the years to come, each fighting to do what he thinks is best for his inheritance. This is the beginning of Shakespeare's Henriad tetralogy.
Richard II inherited his throne from his grandfather Edward III, a king who brought England to glory, and whose reign was marked by chivalry and knighthood. But to achieve knighthood and renown, there must be wars, which are expensive. Edward III's wars in Scotland and France, along with the onset of the Black Death in 1348, meant that Edward left the country destitute upon his death.
This is what Richard II inherited. Richard's father was Edward the Black Prince, a great warrior. Edward III had four sons still living, whose descendants would ultimately form the York and Lancastrian families.
Richard ascended to the throne at the age of 10. Without having been able to observe the workings of the country for long, he often was told how to run the country by advisors, uncles and parliamentary bodies.
In 1386, when Richard was 19, a group called the Lords Appellant used private armies to gain control of the country and remove, in some cases by execution, several of Richard's courtiers and appointees. Richard continued to rule, but once again was told how to do so. Once Richard declared himself of age at 22 and had achieved peace on his borders, he took revenge. Three of the Lords Appellant, including Richard's uncle the Duke of Gloucester, were arrested. Gloucester was sent to Calais and executed there under suspicious circumstances.
Shakespeare's Richard II opens in 1397, in the 20th year of Richard's reign, with an argument between his supposed operative in Calais, Thomas Mowbray, and Richard's cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, as each attempts to prove his loyalty to Richard and accuse the other of treason.
Inheritance is the key to Richard's power, and also his downfall. Placed on the throne at a young age, his seizure of Bolingbroke's inheritance from John of Gaunt reveals that inheritance was no longer a given. This betrayal of family and crown is the instigation that sets the king up to fall. Richard's abandonment of the rules of family for the absolute power of his crown allows Bolingbroke to bend those same rules and remove the crown from Richard.

Advanced-degree candidates receive their hoods and degrees
Posted June 5, 2013; 11:00 a.m.
Advanced-degree recipients were awarded their degrees at Princeton University's 266th Commencement Tuesday, June 4.
The 892 graduate degrees granted during the academic year were:
- 319 Doctor of Philosophy;
- 399 Master of Arts;
- 68 Master in Public Affairs;
- 25 Master of Science in Engineering;
- 24 Master of Architecture;
- 20 Master in Public Policy;
- 31 Master in Finance;
- 4 Master of Fine Arts; and
- 2 Master of Arts in Near Eastern Studies.
The Hooding ceremony, scheduled for Cannon Green Monday evening, was interrupted by a thunderstorm just after the advanced-degree candidates gathered on the lawn. The candidates were directed to Whig Hall to receive their hoods, which distinguish the wearer by both degree and academic discipline with their color.
In the Whig Hall Senate Chamber, Dean of the Graduate School William Russel presided over an impromptu ceremony. Guest speaker Sheryl WuDunn — an entrepreneur, best-selling author, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and a 1988 graduate alumna — delivered a motivational and practical speech to the assembled students.
Carol Porter, director of the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning, recognized the Graduate Mentoring Award recipients: Alison Gammie, a senior lecturer in molecular biology; Michael McAlpine, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering; Gideon Rosen, the Stuart Professor of Philosophy; and Viviana Zelizer, the Lloyd Cotsen '50 Professor of Sociology. The Graduate Mentoring Awards recognize Princeton faculty members whose work with graduate students is particularly outstanding.

During Commencement, Russel, who is also the Arthur W. Marks '19 Professor of Chemical Engineering, expressed his deep regret for the cancellation of the Hooding ceremony and offered to personally hood students who had missed the opportunity the previous day. After Commencement, Russel met with dozens of students at Maclean House at a reception hosted by the Office of the Alumni Association.
"It was my pleasure to informally hood the graduates both in Whig Hall on Monday and then with their families at the reception today in Maclean House," said Russel. "We planned to salute them on Cannon Green for their dedication and effort in completing their master's and doctoral programs, but Mother Nature had other plans."
Photos from both days are available online.
The Graduate School also honored five graduate students for excellence in teaching during the APGA Tribute to Teaching Reception on Saturday, June 1. The annual Teaching Award went to Alfredo Garcia of sociology, Jon Husson of geosciences, Danielle Meinrath of classics, Amelia Worsley of English, and Lu Xia of operations research and financial engineering.

Rich in fatty acid, natural Shea Butter is made from the nuts of the African Shea tree, which can be found in twenty sub-Saharan African countries situated in the western and central regions. It is also referred to as the mangifolia tree, karite nut tree, and bambuk butter tree. This centuries-old species of tree grows slowly, remaining short in height for many years. The African Shea tree does not begin to produce nuts until after its fifteenth year in existence (typically, the twentieth year). This tree does not reach full maturity until it is forty-five years old. It can continue producing nuts for as long as two centuries after reaching full maturity.
Traditionally, the making of Shea Butter is a timely process that involves many hours of labor completed by the women of the area. Called "women's gold," because it provides an income for rural women living in many African villages, Shea Butter/the African Shea tree is considered a local resource since it can be used for wood. The processing of Shea Butter involves a great deal of wood for fuel, straining the economic resources of the area. Fortunately, methods have been improved, creating a smaller impact on the local economy.
Held in great reverence, the African Shea tree has also been referred to as the tree of life, and nothing is wasted. The bark, roots, and nuts of this tree are not only used for commercial reasons, but also for medicinal purposes, as well as the making of soap and as a food source. Nearly half of the Shea Butter produced remains in the local area. If it has been processed properly, it will keep for several months. Dried Shea nuts hold up well in storage as long as they are kept clean and dry. While modern processes can be used to extract Shea Butter from the nuts, traditional methods are valued due to their ability to retain the majority of medicinal, skin care, and nutritional benefits.
Fully ripened nuts (provide the greatest quantity of oils) are collected after they have fallen to the ground. They are carefully stored to avoid having them get wet or develop rot. Nuts that have already begun to germinate are not used since they will produce bitter butter (used instead to process soap). The nuts are peeled, washed, and boiled until the inside no longer has the consistency of a sticky goop. The nuts are then dried in the sun. It may take as long as two weeks for the nuts to thoroughly dry out. At this point, they are cracked open, and the nuts are removed, washed, and dried in the sun again.
In ancient times, Shea Butter was placed in jars for use as a beauty cream by Egyptian queens. It has been used for centuries to safeguard the skin from the harshness of the wind and sun. It contains cinnamic acid, a substance that acts as a natural sunscreen. It has also been used medicinally in bathing water to protect against jaundice, stomachaches, and headaches. In fact, it has proven effective for the treatment of congestion and sinus problems when placed around the nostrils. Shea butter has commonly been used to treat wounds. Today's medicinal uses include soothing rashes from insect bites and poison ivy, healing cracked or peeling skin, and relieving pain from rheumatism and muscle aches by stimulating the reduction of toxins within the muscles.
Shea Butter contains allantoin, phytosterols, five essential fatty acids, and essential vitamins, A, D, and E. It is beneficial in healing skin irritations, neutralizing free radical damage, and enhancing collagen production. It has exceptional moisturizing capabilities and is used to create ultra-rich lotions, creams, and gels to soften the skin. Shea Butter is included in anti-aging and anti-wrinkling formulas designed to reduce the incidence of premature facial wrinkling, chapped lips, fading scars, and dark spots. Since Shea Butter contains phenolics, an important element of polyphenols, it provides unique anti-aging capabilities that are like those delivered through the use of Green Tea. It is included in shaving formulas to reduce the incidence of bumps and dry skin and in hair formulas to soothe the scalp, eliminate dandruff, and improve hair texture, moisture, and growth. Since Shea Butter is 100 % natural, it is gentle enough for daily use.
