a la Minute serves up Redlands souvenir mug By Yazmin Alvarez I n an hour’s time, the infa- mous Oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies had vanished, not even a crumb left at Redlands’ Ed Hales Park. But that was the goal, to sell out of as many baked goods as possi- ble. More than 60 Redlands bakers whipped up dozens of sweet treats, some that could only be thought up in dreams, for the March 30 event benefiting Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign, a mission to end child- hood hunger in the U.S.. The dessert masterminds baked A ncient Egyptian magi- cal practices are the focus when two UCLA professors conduct an entertain- ing and richly illustrated lecture at Cal State San Bernardino’s Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art – RAFFMA – on Friday, April 12, at 6 p.m. Magic affected every aspect of ancient Egyptian life – from everyday healing to royal intrigues. The material remains of ancient Egyptian magical practices include fascinating magico-medical papyri, amulets and assorted figurines. UCLA professors Jacco Dieleman and Elizabeth A. Waraksa will share the results of their personal investigations into the making and use of these artifacts, which were created to heal and protect. Deileman earned his Ph.D. from the University of Leiden in the Netherlands in 2005 and is working as associate professor of Egyptology in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA. Deileman is currently preparing a text edition of an unpublished manuscript that is inscribed in demotic and hieratic with the instructions and incantations of the burial ritual performed for a woman named Artemis (The Artemis Liturgical Papyrus). Waraksa is a lecturer in the Program of Study and Religion at UCLA. She received her Ph.D. in Near Eastern Studies from the Johns Hopkins University in 2007. Her work includes an entry on female figurines on the Pharaonic period in the UCLA Encyclopedia of Egyptology. She also has excavated sites, including an Etruscan/Roman site in Umbria and at the Precinct of the Goddess Mut at Karnak in Luxor. This summer, Waraksa will be joining UCLA’s excava- tion at Jaffa (Tel Aviv).
