Sunrise this morning; the first of 2016...? No I'm joking Lol smile emoticon. This was actually my new year "meditation". I sat in my small office this afternoon with the air-con buzzing making this composite image of Yoga Balance. Both images mine. Models shot with Canon 6D (F4, 1/160 sec, ISO 500) a week or so back. Pier was done with my old Canon 550D (5 sec, ISO 100, F22 - Sigma 10-20). Partial tutorial by Maria Semelevich Art (very partial - I got lost wink emoticon. Go check out her art & tutorials). Simple composite but a start smile emoticon.

I think Judy Willis does a great job explaining why teachers need to provide students with background knowledge when they introduce a new text.
I created this mini-poster using ComicLife software and a screen capture from a movie trailer.
This facility is a resource base for management, distribution, technology and research under one roof. Empowered within this building is one united Sony family sharing the facility, the technology, and the knowledge. This unity intensifies a high entrepreneurial spirit, stimulates motivation and allows the Sony machine to perform at optimum levels. Multiple opportunities for employees and the sharing of interactions, materials and amenities reinforce a strong camaraderie.
This unified regional headquarters facility projects the Sony image to the American public. It is symbolic of the philosophy and technology of the company sophisticated, yet simple; highly intelligent, yet friendly and welcoming. It is a facility where demonstration areas, conferences and seminars invite consumers and the public to learn about the Sony corporation and experience its technology.

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
Amsterdam University College -
Science Park Amsterdam, the international knowledge centre in the Watergraafsmeer neighbourhood is the new home for the Liberal Arts and Sciences program at the Amsterdam University College, a joint institute of the University of Amsterdam and VU University Amsterdam. Science Park is located in the eastern part of the city, close to Amsterdam’s historic seventeenth-century city centre. In September 2012, international students and professors started at the new school of 5,800 m², that can accommodate 900 students. Surrounded by other science buildings, the Science Park provides an interesting environment for the AUC with optimal opportunities for cross fertilization of ideas and talent. The park has an urban character in which buildings, landscape and public space are strongly intertwined. Science Park encompasses a program of 500,000 m² in total including office buildings, laboratories and educational facilities, hotel, conference facilities, sports and cultural programs, restaurants and housing.
Arriving from the city center or the new train station Amsterdam Science Park, the sculptural AUC building together with the Anna Hoeve historic farm house, form the new entrance to the Science Park. Mecanoo designed Amsterdam University College as an inspiring home for a community of international students and their professors. It is an inviting building with a spacious loft on top. The loft was created by placing the roof diagonally north-south. The tilting roof forms a loft where the more contained, quiet study areas and library are housed. Large voids form the heart of the building and create a visual relationship between the different floors. A staircase winds through the voids, symbolising a sense of community for its users. Distinguished spaces such as the restaurant, common room and study hall are double height. Vast windows in these rooms offer beautiful views of the surroundings. The striking façade is made of corten steel and furnishes the building with a warm yet formal presence which contrasts with the more formal architecture of the Science Park.
The AUC is a sustainable building. The Greencalc + score is set at a building index of 200. The compact building mass creates an optimal ratio between wall and floor surface and the relationship between open and closed surfaces in the facade is optimized. The building uses ground source storage and concrete thermal massing. The large roof area has a sedum roof cover that provides insulation and water storage. Sensors which detect movement and daylight monitors are also applied throughout the new building. High quality internal acoustics is achieved through the use of extensive wood wall panelling that extends from the ground floor to the upper floor ceiling. This element also provides a clear orientation point for students and visitors.
Project : “gliSSSSSSSSSendo”
Location: Catharinaplein
With his technical knowledge, his creative forces and his inventive talent UliK developed a construction that allows musicians to glide through space. With his knowledge of stage- and costume-design, his musical choices and his feel for good entertainment he produced a magical show with the innovative brass band Fanfare Le SNOB.
Since the 1994 Fanfare Le SNOB (the abbreviation for “Service de Nettoyage des Oreilles Bouchées” (trans. cleaning service for blocked ears)) produces performances exploring the sound spectrum of brass instruments. Rooted in excellent musicianship their joy and enthusiasm for street performances is part of their magic.
The eye and ear opening performance of UliK and Le SNOB induces its subject from musical term “glissando”, which can be translated as “gliding”. In the case of the performance “gliSSSSSSSSendo” there are nine monk-like figures in long black robes and burning hats gliding through darkness in urban space, carried away by their music. The musical program comprises brass band traditionals as well as contemporary compositions by Philipp Glass or Michael Nyman.

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.
"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.
