The Constitution of the United States
1787 to …
Establishing new governments “on wise and lasting principles, is the greatest work the mind of man can undertake.”
—Francis Lightfoot Lee, 1776
The Constitution of the United States gets to the point quickly. “We the people of the United States…” it begins, “… do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” In the first few words, it accepts the “great essential” that free governments rest upon the consent of the governed and that they exist to “establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty.”
Beyond the Preamble, the Constitution provides solutions to the dilemma of power that are very different from those contained in the Articles of Confederation. Many Americans felt frustrated by the severe limits the Articles imposed. The federal government could not levy taxes, raise an army, or even enforce its laws. With change nearly impossible, with important responsibilities unaddressed, a new approach appeared to be necessary. Once again responding to the times, the Founders, via the Constitutional Convention, reshaped the tools needed to govern with the “great essentials.”
Under the Constitution, the national government protects our rights and independence. There is a president and federal courts. Precisely because power is carefully separated among these branches of government, and because each branch attracts and balances the others, this government wields great authority. The national government still controls international affairs, but now it can levy taxes and regulate interstate commerce as well. There is even language that suggests “implied” powers not specifically listed.
In fact, the wisdom of this constitution lay not only in the allocation of actual authority, but also in its flexibility. “In framing a system which we wish to last for ages,” wrote James Madison, “we should not lose sight of the changes that ages will produce.” As a result, the Constitution’s amendments catalog social change, like the abolition of slavery and voting rights for women.
George Washington contributed in many ways to the creation of the United States. We remember and memorialize him as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and as first President of the United States. He stands atop the national honor role as a man who was “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.”
Yet the copy of the Constitution of the United States contained in the park’s collection captures Washington in a less elevated role. In the final minutes of the Constitutional Convention, and a moment of mundane yet politically critical “housekeeping,” the distinguished national hero who had presided over the convention with firm objectivity and even aloofness took pen in hand and changed a typographical error in the draft document.
As the ink dried, Washington handed this printer’s proof to a waiting courier who hurried to the printshop of Dunlop and Claypoole. Later that same day, on September 17, 1787, a corrected Constitution was on the stagecoach bound for New York City where the Continental Congress was in session. 10 days later, the Congress formally asked each state to consider ratification of this second national Constitution. By June 1788, the required nine states had approved and the gears of the new government gradually began to turn. Elected president, Washington eventually followed the Constitution to New York where he took the oath of office on April 30, 1789.
In 1964, the park purchased this unique version of the Constitution using privately donated funds. On the 10th line of page 4, Washington’s notation changed the date “one thousand seven hundred and eight” to read “one thousand eight hundred and eight,” the first year that Congress could take action on the slave trade.
Signing the Constitution of the United States
September 17, 1787
In witness whereof We have hereunto subscribed our Names.
At the very moment of triumph, discontent threatened to unravel the compromises crafted carefully over four months’ time. As the majority of the Constitutional Convention struggled to achieve unanimity, some members resisted. Even a plea from the elder statesman, Benjamin Franklin, failed to convince three doubtful delegates to “witness” the final draft of the Constitution. The other thirty-nine, however, laid aside their personal fears, sign the document, and enlisted in the struggle for ratification that began immediately.
With all its faults, the moment this plan goes forth all other considerations will be laid aside, and the great question will be, shall there be a national Government or not?
—Gouverneur Morris, 1787
No man’s ideas are more remote from the plan than my own are known to be. But is it possible to deliberate between anarchy and convulsion on one side, and the chance of good to be expected from the plan on the other?
—Alexander Hamilton, September 17, 1787
We have… Done our best and it [the Constitution] must take its chance.
—Benjamin Franklin, 1787

Presentatiemoment van het werkcollege AV&IT Principles van Design & Technologie op de Erasmushogeschool Brussel (EhB). De studenten van het 1ste jaar Multec maakten zelf aan de hand van een Arduino een muziekcontroller. Ze leerden in de Labs bij Ann Peeters coderen, ontwerpen, solderen, laseren en ze ontdekten hoe ze een digital audio workstation konden aansturen. Op woensdag 6 december 2017 verdedigden ze hun project voor een veelkoppige jury van docenten, gasten en hogerejaars. Daarna namen ze het tegen elkaar op in een 'Clash of Sounds'. Hierbij zorgden een aantal 3de jaarsstudenten voor de omkadering en 'super vette' visuals die reageerden op hun muziek. Via een app kon er bovendien gestemd worden op je favoriete team. Proficiat aan het team van Beau, Cem en Matthijs, dat met een gehackte PS3-controller en goeie beats met de trofee ging lopen!

^^^^^A very cute video listing the principles.
The twelve principles of animation describe the elements that a good animation will feature. They explain a better understanding of realistic movement and show a good grasp of viewer perception and how to manipulate the scene to convey what the animation is designed to show. The principles began to be understood in the 1930s, when Disney began classes for their animators to improve the quality of animation. These encouraged reference from nature, their animation techniques eventually became the principles. The principles were outlined by Thomas and Johnston in the book 'Illusion of Life' published in 1981.
Knowing the principles isn't the important part, understanding how to use them to your advantage however is the key to success full animation. These help to give you the illusion of life.
Anticipation, and squash and stretch in a strange way see to defy logic and maintain it. Because we expect to see actions having equal and opposite reaction and we know that objects don't loose mass so
it seems intuitive to have build-up to action and for objects to squash and stretch becoming larger in one dimension as they shrink in another. However from an animating point of view it feels like it defies logic creating unnatural shapes and positions in order to create a more appealing appearence. However I would expect it to become a simple habit to include these after you've been in the industry some time.
Staging, timing and straight ahead and pose to pose are all basically about how you choose to make your animation appear and all reflect the important idea of planning ahead.
Solid drawing skills and appealing animations are obvious advantages, discovering how to make animations more appealing can just be a simple matter of research and awareness of things like the Uncanny Valley.
Exaggeration is used to as a method to make things more appealing, it also ties into anticipation and squash and stretch, if animations were only as interesting as real life then we wouldn't watch them, they also already have the problem of being separated from us and so in order to have a strong impact they need to be exaggerated, this effects content and visual style.
Arcs, and Slow in and slow out are ways of making an animation appear more appealing.
Secondary Action - A drama teacher of mine used to tell a story of a play he was in once. While the main love interest had some important dialog on the front stage, he was told to keep himself busy in the background. The director didn't tell him what he wanted him to do, so he decided that his character had found a piece of string and was playing with it. He thought everything had gone fine until the director came shouting at him during the intercession. Apparently the audience had been completely distracted during the scene by him and his piece of string and that they were all talking about it and the possible meaning and metaphor, the significance of the string, he had accidently been too interesting when he intended on simply been fiddling and keeping busy. The director wanted to add another dimension to the scene to make it more dynamic, similarly we can do this in our animations. But we should always remember that the purpose of it should be to enhance, not take away from the shot, that it should complement and add making for a more interesting piece of animation.
Principles of Design used: Proportion/scale is shown in this photo because the 2 pairs of sunglasses are being compared to each other. Pattern is being shown because there are 2 pair of sunglasses in a row. Balance is used because the pairs of sunglasses help form a more symmetrical photo.
Elements of Art used: Color is represented in this photo along with shape and line. Shape is being shown because the sunglasses are organic shapes.

This garden was once part of a large estate laid out c1915, it was later split into lots, leaving the C15th Grade II listed Black and White Cottage with 10 acres of land, a large water feature and rock garden. It fell into decline after the sale but has now been redesigned and replanted c1985, thanks to Hannah Peschar the then owner. She opened it up as a sculpture garden exhibiting up to 200 sculptures annually. Although she has since died, the garden remains.
The aim of the garden has always been to show the relationship between art and nature. "Neither one outshines the other: every piece is placed in harmony with its surroundings to create an amazing synergy within the environment".

Pilates follows principles based on a well-constructed philosophical and theoretical foundation. It is not merely a collection of exercises but a method, developed and refined over more than eighty years of use and observation. While Pilates draws from many diverse exercise styles, there are certain inherent ruling principles that bring all these elements together under the Pilates name. One interpretation of Principles: Centering, Concentration, Control, Precision, Breathing, and Flowing Movement.
Textbook #5 ‘Fifty Principles of Sogetsu’ was a ‘wake up’ call to Sonya (and we all seem to overlook). I have mentioned it before, we must all make it a practice to review Sofu Teshigahara’s principles on a regular basis. Sonya’s first work was ‘One Flower on Branch #4 on the list. A single King Protea sits proudly framed by some Tortured Camellia branch. The choice of container is interesting – often thought a little too over-powering but it certainly works here
