"In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground." - Douglas Adams
This is my image representation of the above quote by Douglas Adams. I interpreted the word "fly" as success and the word "ground" as fail. So to me, the phrase means that if you wish to succeed, you mustn't fail. In life, many associate success with careers. And the base of all careers require knowledge. Acquiring that knowledge means taking one step at a time, and just "missing the ground" with each try. Knowledge is power and with this power, the chances of failure are reduced significantly giving us the ability to "fly" in one way or another.

Photos taken of various works of art at an exhibit while filming on-site for Battle Castle: Malbork with host Dan Snow in Poland. The show profiles the siege of 1410 when Polish and Lithuanian forces attacked the brick stronghold. The offensive, which was led by King Jagiello and Grand Duke Vytautas, occurred after the Battle of Tannenberg. The castle, historically known as Marienburg, was built by the Teutonic Order, crusader knights who occupied this area of the Baltic in medieval times.
Battle Castle is an action documentary series starring Dan Snow that is now airing on History Television and is scheduled to premiere on Discovery Knowledge in the UK in Spring 2012 and on various BBC-affiliated channels in the near future.
This show brings to life mighty medieval fortifications and the epic sieges they resist: clashes that defy the limits of military technology, turn empires to dust, and transform mortals into legends.

Castles conjure thoughts of romantic tales, but make no mistake, they are built for war.
Dover: Prince Louis’ key to England. Malaga: the Granadans final stronghold. And Crac des Chevaliers: Crown Jewel of Crusader castles. Through dynamic location footage and immersive visual effects, Battle Castle reveals a bloody history of this epic medieval arms race.
As siege weapons and technology become more ruthless, the men who design and built these castles reply … or perish. Follow host Dan Snow as he explores the military engineering behind these medieval megastructures and the legendary battles that became testaments to their might.
Each episode will climax in the ultimate test of the castle’s military engineering – a siege that will change the course of history. Which castles will be conquered and which will prevail? You’ll have to watch to find out.
But the journey doesn’t end there –in fact, it’s just beginning. Battle Castle extends into a multi-platform quest, taking us deep into the secret world of medieval warfare and strategy. Become the ultimate ‘Castle Master’. Stay tuned for more on the Battle Castle experience.

Our students expanded their knowledge of Python by learning about lists. We started off this morning learning about basic lists but by the afternoon we were making two dimensional lists. They will use what they learned about lists to make a tic-tac-toe game. Our students are very eager to participate which has created an excellent classroom environment.

Metaphors are sometimes used in the Bahá’í writings to convey intangible spiritual concepts. One metaphor that comes up in several places is the tree, such as in the Tablet of Ahmad, written by Bahá’u’lláh: “Verily He is the Tree of Life that bringeth forth the fruits of God, the Exalted, the Powerful, the Great.” In the quote below, knowledge is a fruit of the human tree.
“Strain every nerve to acquire both inner and outer perfections, for the fruit of the human tree hath ever been and will ever be perfections both within and without. It is not desirable that a man be left without knowledge or skills, for he is then but a barren tree. Then, so much as capacity and capability allow, ye needs must deck the tree of being with fruits such as knowledge, wisdom, spiritual perception and eloquent speech.”
—Bahá’u’lláh, The Compilation of Compilations vol. I, p. 247

The Internet is here seen as the new mirror in which we search our own likeness and identity.
The central figure, at the computer, [a self-portrait] has been toned down following the comment below by dou_ble_you, to whom, as always, my thanks for his critique. It was also, subsequently, removed, and then replaced, on a smaller scale, as here seen.
This work grew out of several earlier ones (see: flickr.com/photos/walford/2695328110/ , and flickr.com/photos/walford/2690757479/ ), with the idea of a juxtaposition with elements from two different works by the English 18th c. painter, Joseph Wright of Derby, inspired by the comments of Lensk / Paolo Avalle [see flickr.com/photos/63587066@N00/ for Lensk / Paolo Avalle], as found below the second of the two earlier versions [see www.flickr.com/photos/walford/2695328110/in/photostream/ ]. I am most grateful to Lensk for pointing me in that direction, as had forgotten Wright's Alchemist, though am most familiar with his work.
This piece was only possible with the initial inspiration from Idea-Listic [Robert Marinkovic] 's diabolical self-portrait on his profile page, and a great deal of help from dou_ble_you, who transformed my original into something far more creative and imaginative, which, I, in turn, have re-appropriated back onto my two original computer display screens.
For the original work by Idea-Listic, that triggered this idea, see: www.flickr.com/people/53959560@N00/
And for dou_ble_you's version, made for me, see: flickr.com/photos/dou_ble_you/2694068334/

Pulse Front: Relational Architecture 12 is the new searchlight piece by acclaimed Mexican-Canadian electronic artist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. The groundbreaking installation uses 20 robotic searchlights, 200,000 watts of power and includes displays up to 20 metal sculptures positioned along Toronto's harbour. Each piece is installed with a biometric sensor. When a participating spectator grabs the handles on the sculpture the sensors convert their pulse into beams of light in the sky, visible up to 15 kilometers away. The life force of honoured guests at the TELUS-hosted event will launch the beating matrix of searchlights.
September 22 is the day grades 4 to 10 celebrate Science and Math Week with a fun academic contest to bring out their competitive spirit and motivate them to learn more about these two major subjects. The event is a quiz bee type game that tests the student’s general knowledge of science and math. Students are formed into groups of four (for high school) and five (for grade school) to emphasize cooperation and teamwork
