FOY SCALF: Here at the Oriental Institute, we've worked for the past two

years to bring the book of the dead back to life.

The Book of the Dead is a compilation of funerary spells that the Egyptians used,

basically to get to heaven.

It's a 2,300-year-old papyrus that will be on display in its entirety for the first time. Each papyrus that

had the Book of the Dead inscribed on it was a unique handmade document. It's very much like medieval manuscripts

They were made by hand in a scriptorium in ancient Egypt and each one was unique and different from the other.

What many people don't realize is that mummies were actually wrapped in the Book of the Dead.

The Book of the Dead spells were written directly on linen bandages and those linen bandages were wrapped directly around the body

The Egyptians acquired and used the Book of the Dead in order to comfort their

concerns about what was going to happen to them when they died. So during their life

they would acquire this material in an effort to have some control over what was going to happen after death.

University of Toronto: Ismat Aziz, Chief Human Resources Officer, Sprint, Alumni Portrait - Duration: 2:23.

My name is Ismat Aziz

and I'm the Chief Human Resource Officer for Sprint Corporation.

Every day is a puzzle

and it's an opportunity to try something different

and it's an opportunity to see if we can innovate.

The best way you can hone in on what is going to make you better

is to feel as if you're learning something every day.

There has to be some discomfort

in order for you to change your game

and I gravitate towards uncomfortable situations.

I don't have all the answers every day.

I am now at the point in my career where discomfort around not knowing the right answer

leads me to seek it from somebody who has it.

Going to University of Toronto,

having the ability and having the opportunity to study alongside

international students, local students,

the diversity of thought, the innovation, the professors and their insights.

Much of that led to the career trajectory that I've now had.

The value of going to a university

where the brand recognition is really well known internationally is significant,

especially if you're working in organisations globally.

Large organisations today are very diverse

and it isn't uncommon to have many senior executives

speaking different languages in meetings

and at the same time being part of a work group.

That diversity is very consistent with the type of diversity that I experienced at University of Toronto.

I am humbled to have the opportunity to watch my oldest child graduate from University of Toronto.

Seeing my oldest choose University of Toronto

when she had the opportunity to go to any University in the U.S. makes me very proud

and this degree, for her, will build the foundational elements for her future.

I will always be grateful.

The University of Toronto establishing for me

a pride in the educational institution.

It was my first degree.

It is one of my most meaningful degrees

and it really was the degree that I think defined me.

Was Einstein Always Right? | Tech-x-planations | Singularity University - Duration: 2:34.

(music)

- More than any name in history,

Einstein is synonymous with genius.

The Nobel Prize winner changed our understanding of nature

more than anyone since Newton, developing his theory

of relativity, pioneering quantum physics,

and proving the existence of molecules.

Of Einstein's many great quotes, my favorite is,

"The difference between genius and stupidity

is that genius has limits."

But did Einstein himself have limits?

Like anyone else, he did make mistakes

and some were pretty big.

Let's review two of the times that Einstein

wasn't exactly an Einstein.

As one of the originators of the Quantum Theory,

Einstein endlessly debated the meaning

of the strange behavior that particles exhibit

at small distances.

The aspect that most disturbed him

was that nothing is completely predictable, only probable.

Einstein felt very strongly that these probabilities

must reflect our ignorance of the situation,

not the fundamental behavior.

Unfortunately, everything that we have ever learned

about physics for over 100 years,

indicates that probability is the fundamental behavior.

Einstein's most famous mistake

was his prediction of the cosmological constant.

In the general theory of relativity,

the Universe could be expanding or contracting,

but not remaining the same size.

This ran afoul of his intuition

that it should be eternally static,

and so he looked for a mathematical loophole.

He discovered that his equations allowed

for a type of antigravity force, allowing disequilibrium.

Soon after this, astronomer Edwin Hubble

simply measured whether the Universe was expanding

and discovered that it was.

This obviated the need for a cosmological constant,

and Einstein referred to its introduction

as his greatest blunder.

But the story doesn't end there.

In 1997, astronomers performed very sensitive measurements

of Super Nova and discovered that the Universe

was not just expanding, but accelerating.

The reason we hadn't detected it before

is because the rate is so small

that it only becomes apparent on vast scales.

This means there actually is a cosmological constant.

It was just so incredibly tiny that we couldn't detect it.

So even Einstein's greatest blunder was correct.

Jill Williams, Founder of ANS, Speaks at University of Utah - Duration: 1:49.

21 years ago Jill had a vision to make something more for herself.

In a small apartment, with no real experience, very little cash, and a small baby, and with

a grid of an achiever, she made it happen.

She stands up for women.

She leads by doing.

She's a tireless workhorse and a dedicated captain.

She's a mentor to many that find themselves helplessly enamored by her presence.

She has a funny way of telling stories, putting together sentences and verifying every damn

thing I say.

She likes to make up words to suit the situation and leaves a lasting impression on all who

know her.

She likes to spot celebrities, even dead ones.

She's extremely generous, loves without condition, pushes for more and gets people to be their

best.

She's the reason we're all here today.

In sixth grade, I was supposed to write my obituary, and in my obituary, I wrote that

I had a business and that I had many family members that worked for me.

And, my mom would bring this story up often because it really, while the business type

was different, it really came to fruition.

So being an entrepreneur, I think it is just something the way my brain works.

The entrepreneur, is the wild child of the business community.

And I really represent that statement.

Adversity is never and excuse because you'll never achieve using that as an excuse.

Ever.

And that was an obstacle, that was a big part of the beginning, and the middle, and almost

towards the you know, the top of the middle, end.

See, I knew I was going to throw some shit at you guys, right here.

Postgraduate Research | University of East Anglia (UEA) - Duration: 1:49.

The University of East Anglia is a very research-intensive University. It's

highly rated worldwide, ranked in the top 100 for its research impact and also

critically it's part of the Norwich Research Park which has a high

concentration of world-class scientists. We focus on some of the major global

problems and we do this by bringing together different disciplines - Natural

Sciences, Health Sciences, Social Sciences and also the Arts and Humanities come

together to address these key global issues. I decided to study for my PhD

here at the Norwich Research Park because of the high calibre of research

that comes out of here. Also because of the impact that it has and its applications

on real-world technology. We've got excellent state-of-the-art facilities on

the Norwich Research Park that support all areas of our research. The library

here at UEA has an outstanding collection of both physical and digital

media. The University offers a lot of opportunities for engagement,

just last month for example I was flown to India to talk about my research on

translation of comics which was extremely useful for contacts and

teaching a different audience as well. Across the four faculties we have a

personal professional development programme which covers research

communication skills, methodologies and also careers and employability for our

students. We aim to give our students the best

support that we can for their PhD studies. We allocate two supervisors for

every PhD student, this means that they can take a blended and interdisciplinary

approach to their research. I love living in Norwich because it's such a friendly and

safe city. The cultural diversity here is fantastic in terms of both traditional

English culture and international communities.
