Portraits of Hope's massive public art and civic project – involving more than 20,000 kids, adults and volunteers – that visually transformed Manhattan. By recruiting and utilizing more than 5,400 fully operational NYC taxis to participate in the unprecedented 4-month exhibition, the cabs and city streets of New York were transformed into a giant mobile canvas. The unprecedented event integrated two key characteristics that define the City: the saturation of the iconic taxis; and the vertical physicality of Manhattan. www.portraitsofhope.org

What is an outliner?
An outliner is simply a hierarchical editor that allows logical organisation of information visually showing a heirarchy of parent, child relationships. Outliners work because it is thought the heirarchy storage is somegthing that humans grok. [0]
Why do I need one?
The reason I need the outliner is simple. I need to be able to link blocks of information, links, text entries, images all in some form of hierarchy. I simply can't do this with the current set of blocks I have and hence the post, "Playing with blocks on the floor" [1].
For any particular post I need some way of having say a text entry with the Entry block. Then at some time in the future I may add say 3 more comments related to that entry, a photo and several link blocks. All this can be acheived if I create an outlining block that acts as a skeleton that I can add extra blocks to.
In essence the Outliner block is really just a connector that points to a parent and/or a child block. At the same time have a one to one relationship with an Entry, Link, Image block.
Above picture
The above picture shows that I can add various blocks together. The key bit is with a Outline block it holds together this structure. Think of the Outline block as just a connector on a block allowing them to be connected. The Outliner allows you to connect blocks together.
Just what I want.
More about Outliners?
Outliners are the child idea of Doug Englebart [2] and has been continued extensivly by Dave Winer [3]. During the course of this write up I was listening to Dave on Outliners [3] and reading various references to Outliners [4], Dave Winer explaining outlining & programming [5], Doug Englebart [6] and Dave Winer meeting Doug Englebart in 2000 [7].

More interesting conceptually than visually, perhaps. I'll have to work on that. It sure doesn't photograph well.
This is a 6-sided CRJ, but instead of straight folds on the horizontal, it uses 60° arcs. The result is a theoretically round box with the circumference the same as the width of the paper. You get nice horns where the arcs meet up.
The National Disabled Veterans TEE Tournament is the brainchild of several employees of the Iowa City VA Medical Center, along with two visually impaired Iowa Veterans. These visionaries created the TEE Tournament, an acronym standing for TRAINING, EXPOSURE and EXPERIENCE. In 2008, it became one of six VA national rehabilitation programs for Veterans. The event expanded to include not only blind Veterans, but amputees, wheelchairbound Veterans, and those with other life changing disabilities. It takes place each year in Iowa City.

The original tactile paving was developed by Seiichi Miyake in 1965. The paving was first introduced in a street in Okayama city, Japan, in 1967. Its use gradually spread in Japan and then around the world.
Tactile paving (also called truncated domes, detectable warnings, Tactile Ground Surface Indicators) is a system of textured ground surface indicators found on many footpaths and train station platforms to assist blind and vision impaired pedestrians.
Tactile warnings provide a distinctive surface pattern of "truncated domes" or cones (which are small domes or cones that have had their tops cut off, or truncated) detectable by long cane or underfoot which are used to alert people with vision impairments of their approach to streets and hazardous drop-offs. People who are blind or visually impaired are alerted of impending danger from vehicle impact or a grade change.
The above text is from Wikipedia
But for everything that you wanted to know about tactile paving but were afraid to ask, look at this Australian site
22-year-old Azer Ćatović was born in Mostar, and has been living here for 14 years. Azer grew up with a sight defect, but by secondary school, he had become fully independent thanks to his education.
As he awaits the start of the second academic year, he spends his summer break doing running training sessions, reading, and taking walks. He does most of his running sessions on a treadmill in the fitness hall of the Center for Blind and Visually Impaired Children and Youth.
The centre was recently renovated by UNDP and offers full time support in learning and other skills like mobility, self-care, and sight exercises for the visually impaired, use of teaching aids, playing games, going out to town and attending events.

Prominent footballers, coaches, international experts and representatives from sport organisations and clubs came together for the launch of ‘A Ball for All’ – a project to promote access to the practice of football for blind and visually impaired people.
The launch event, which was organised by Save the Dream, took place at Aspire Zone on the occasion of National Sport Day.
Run in collaboration with the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC), Sasol, under its Definitely Able initiative, Qatar Social & Cultural Centre for the Blind (QSCCB) and Aspire Zone Foundation (AZF), the event featured French ambassador to Qatar Eric Chevallier, Qatar Sports Club and former Inter Milan player Luis Jimenez and legendary international coach Bora Milutinovic.
Day 2. Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.
At the apex of Khmer political and military dominance in the region, Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat in the form of a massive 'temple-mountain' dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu. It served as his state temple, though the temple’s uncommon westward orientation has led some to suggest that it was constructed as Suryavarman II’s funerary temple. Other temples of the same style and period include Thommanon, Banteay Samre, Wat Atwea and Beng Melea, which may have served as a prototype to Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat is surrounded by a moat and an exterior wall measuring 1300 meters x 1500 meters. The temple itself is 1 km square and consists of three levels surmounted by a central tower. The walls of the temple are covered inside and out with bas-reliefs and carvings. Nearly 2000 distinctively rendered apsara carvings adorn the walls throughout the temple and represent some of the finest examples of apsara carvings in Angkorian era art. But it is the exterior walls of the lower level that display the most extraordinary bas-reliefs, depicting stories and characters from Hindu mythology and the historical wars of Suryavarman II. It is in the viewing of the bas-reliefs that a tour guide can be very helpful.
The northern reflecting pool in front is the most popular sunrise location. For sunrise, arrive very early, well before sunrise begins. The sun will rise behind Angkor Wat providing a silhouette of Angkor’s distinctively shaped towers against a colored sunrise sky. Some of the best colors appear just before the sun breaks over the horizon.
The visual impact of Angkor Wat, particularly on one's first visit, is awesome. As you pass through the outer gate and get your first glimpse, its size and architecture make it appear two dimensional, like a giant postcard photo against the sky. After you cross through the gate and approach the temple along the walkway it slowly gains depth and complexity. To maximize this effect you should make your first visit in optimal lighting conditions, i.e. after 2:00PM. Do not make your first visit to Angkor Wat in the morning when the backlighting obscures the view.
The first level of is the most artistically interesting. Most visitors begin their exploration with the bas-reliefs that cover the exterior wall of the first level, following the bas-reliefs counterclockwise around the temple. Bas-relief highlights include the mythological Battle of Kuru on the west wall; the historical march of the army of Suryavarman II, builder of Angkor Wat, against the Cham, followed by scenes from Heaven and Hell on the south wall; and the classic ‘Churning of the Ocean Milk’ on the east wall.
The temple interior is not as densely carved as the first level exterior, but still sports hundreds of fine carvings of apsaras and scenes from Hindu mythology. A guide can be quite helpful in explaining the stories of the various chambers, statues and architectural forms to be found in the interior. At the upper-most of your tour of the temple, the central tower on the third level houses four Buddha images, each facing a different cardinal point, highlighting the fact that though Angkor Wat was constructed as a Hindu temple, it has served as a Buddhist temple since Buddhism became Cambodia’s dominant religion in the 14th century. Some say that it is good luck to pay homage to all four Buddha images before departing Angkor.

Interaction of a special kind. The guy is focus is Rajashekar he is visually impaired. Yet in a week he will be appearing for his high school diploma test conducted by the Ap State Government. He cannot take this test in Braille. The volunteer next to him is reading his questions from the test paper from him. Rajashekar has to be very attentive. He needs to understand the question, formulate the answer and reply it back to his scribe so that the volunteer can write it down for him.
Today he is taking the Math paper.

Visually the cupcakes are quite stunning, and look incredible. Tastewise they leave something to be desired. Some were bland, and didn't leave much of an impression on me, except for the one in the center which was supposed to be a chocolate mint, that one I remember cause it tasted like toothpaste.
All photos in this set taken by JEX, all text written by me, unless otherwise noted.
The Nystagmus Network Open Day was held in Reading on the 7th May 2016. Over 170 people attended the event to hear about the work at the charity and latest research into the condition.

The visually stunning soft-shell crab was delightfully crispy, while still moist inside. Still, we thought that the Chinese-style salt and chilli soft-shell crab was tastier, possibly because Kura's version lacked MSG! :)

***UPDATE*** 7/2/13 Some things are meant to swim upstream. This is heading exactly that way, where it belongs. Thanks LC.
Fireball observed in the SE sky at 8:02 pm. I happened to be outside looking at Venus to see if the clouds would clear for photography (I am in the lower left near last window light) and saw this fireball also captured as an image. The burn lasted 2-3 seconds and had a bright terminal explosion about 10X Venus in brightness. The visual experience is so much better than the solely photo capture,

In the Idea of Japan (1996) Ian Littlewood goes on about how numerous travellers and commentators on Japanese culture have described it as "equisite", "artistic," generally visually beautiful and aesthetic. This is, he claims, a orientalist (Said) myth put about by Westerners who want to see the orient as passive. And indeed it is generally assumed that the autonomy, will, the sorce of action is made of word. Pictures are somethign that we look at. Images do not need to move to be visible, whereas voices need to say something to be heard. But at the same time just because vision can be passive, the object rather that the subject, it does not imply that it is necessarily so, at least not in Japan.
Burks et al. (2010) found that, in answer to a survey prior to an intelligence test, nearly 70 percent of trainee truck drivers believed themselves to be in the two two quintiles of an intelligence test (i.e. the top forty percent) whereas only about 8% believed themselves to be in the bottom 40%. In other words, they have unrealistically big egos. Since Burks could find no real postitive benefits of this sort of overconfidence, he argues that it must be some sort of social signal - peacocking one presumes. But who to? The premise with language is that one can speak to oneself.
Derrida claims that this is impossible. The haunted double decker bus model of linguistic expression in the mind - where the voices in our head express ghostly ideas - is a myth. The truth he claims is much worse. The bus is bound for hell and back: we are having a conversation with dead, simulated, others whom we hide in our minds. We simulate their reaction, and when we say good things (such such as "I am going to do well in the intelligence test") we feel their praise, their comfort. In a sense this self-speech is active in a sense it is passive since we only say that which know our whore is going to enjoy. This, Derridas, reading of the nature of thought is borrowed from Freud who claims that the super ego contains a simulation of the original lost object: Mother.
Japanese people as numerous survey's have shown, including especially truck drivers in my experience, do not brag. If asked how they are going to do in an intelligence test they will say, on average that they will be a bit below average.
But they dress up their trucks like circus is comting to town, with fairy lights, oversived bumpers, andon lanterns proclaiming their desires. The picture above right says "Decorated Trucks are the akward man's way of expressing himself." And express themselves they do. There are books about "Decotora" describing them as the aesthetics of the road. The picture on the right notes how each has a great deal of individuality.
What is going on? Selfing in Japan is done visual. Mummy watches.
This difference results on the one hand on a terrible taboo on sex since that is what is going on in the mind of the self narrator. In Japan however, there was very little taboo on sex but there is a great taboo on mothering. Japanese truck drivers are forever cute, bathing in a sense passively, at the same time actively, but in full light of day, in the appreciative gaze of their internalised others, principally their ancestors, the eyes of the world, and their version of the superego: the Sungoddess who watches but refesues to read sexts.

Following event was given as training event for Disabled people by UNISDR at its preventionweb.net on. Lack of societal recognitions and discrimination of the necessity to mainstream 70 Million persons who are differently abled in India are highly vulnerable to disasters in Urban and Rural India need a positive change to be inclusive part of empowering them to cope with disasters. Saritsa Foundation has been pioneering the mission to provide equal opportunities to disable people to build their capacity with needed sensitivity for past 14 years. It has raised awareness and imparted education and training with mock drills and local resources for 9700 people.
It is satisfying to state that visually impaired participants are provided opportunity to learn to protect them and be self reliant to cope with disasters.
- The Awareness, Education and Training are conducted with interactive participatory methodology.
- The participants are encouraged to analyze risk and vulnerability to them under various scenarios of their houses, their working places and their movement and their areas.
- They are encourage to raise awareness among themselves and their families and prepared to respond accordingly.
- Make use of local resources and local experience and expertise.
- Participants are provided practical training with mock drills with live scenarios of disasters.
- Develop buddy system (Jodi system) to respond to disasters.
- Practice to cope with different emergencies as trained by practical training and mock drills.
Saritsa Foundation had launched Braille books in many Indian Languages on DRR in year 2003-2004. The Audio books on the subject were also prepared in regional languages. During the year 2013, Saritsa Foundation has conducted workshop for Visually Impaired women, girls and youth in 5 institutions in Gujarat and Maharashtra. The mission continues.
On International Disaster Risk Reduction Day - 13 October Saritsa Foundation is organizing a workshop for Kamala Mehta High School for Blind Girls, Mumbai / National Association for Blind Mumbai on 13th October 2013.
Visually we see only what wants to impose our experiences, memories and our learned us.
So we see at this day on German roads, people with headscarves and assozieren, it must be a Muslim. Here my grandmother has always worn headscarves. Des protection from the cold wind for.
We see only what we want to see. We look at the surface.
We get a first impression. And our thoughts play us tricks. We judge. We judge strangers. We judge people that we do not know.
Will a man leave with you. Whoever does not judge, but only considered.
Whoever does not judge and just observed. Whoever does not judge and allows only the kind thoughts. The lives better. It has a higher quality of life.
every day You live better with kind thoughts.
We affect what we see. We must not judge. We must not let the negative thoughts. Our thoughts are free. Manage them in a positive and beautiful direction.
Do you want to run forever with thoughts about how:
One is that a fat ass. That should not attract but.
The much too small. The is much too large.
Too thick. Too thin. Not my taste.
If you keep thinking about other, so sneak often thought in your head and unsettle you. Such as: When I think about others who then also think about me? Cases also an opinion about me?
It is uncertain, and uncertainty always leads to fears and anxieties lead to negative thoughts, to envy, hatred and in some cases, to violence.
Always remember, you can not know what other think. Stay with yourself. Think positive. Go through your life positively. You will feel that it is better you. A convertible. A great change in which many should take an example.
Excuse my English, it is not perfect. But who is that already. ♥
German:
Optik
Optisch sehen wir nur das, was unsere Erfahrungen, Erinnerungen und unser Gelerntes uns aufzwingen will.
So sehen wir heut zu Tage auf den deutschen Straßen, Menschen mit Kopftüchern und assozieren, es muss ein Muslime sein. Dabei hat meine Oma auch immer Kopftücher getragen. Des Schutzes vor dem kalten Wind wegen.
Wir sehen nur das, was wir sehen wollen. Wir schauen auf die Oberfläche.
Wir verschaffen uns einen ersten Eindruck. Und unsere Gedanken spielen uns Streiche. Wir urteilen. Wir urteilen über fremde Menschen. Wir urteilen über Menschen, die wir nicht kennen.
Bleibt doch bei euch. Wer nicht urteilt, sondern nur betrachtet.
Wer nicht urteilt und nur beobachtet. Wer nicht urteilt und nur die freundlichen Gedanken zulässt. Der lebt besser. Man hat eine höhere Lebensqualität.
Man lebt jeden Tag besser mit freundlichen Gedanken.
Wir beeinflussen was wir sehen. Wir müssen nicht urteilen. Wir müssen nicht die negativen Gedanken zu lassen. Unsere Gedanken sind frei. Steuere sie in eine positive und schöne Richtung.
Möchtest du ewig mit Gedanken umher laufen, wie:
Man ist das ein fetter Arsch. Das sollte sie aber nicht anziehen.
Die ist viel zu klein. Die ist viel zu groß.
Zu dick. Zu dünn. Nicht mein Geschmack.
Wenn du so über andere denkst, so schleichen sich oftmals Gedanken in deinen Kopf und verunsichern dich. Wie zum Beispiel: Wenn ich das über andere denke, denken die dann das auch über mich? Fällen die auch ein Urteil über mich?
Man wird unsicherer und Unsicherheit führt immer zu Ängsten und Ängste führen zu negativen Gedanken, zu Neid, zu Hass und in einigen Fällen zu Gewalt.
Denke immer daran, du kannst nicht wissen, was andere Denken. Bleibe bei dir selber. Denke positiv. Gehe positiv durch dein Leben. Du wirst spüren, dass es dir so besser geht. Ein Wandel. Ein großer Wandel an dem sich viele ein Beispiel nehmen sollten.

1937 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Special Roadster by Sindelfingen
$9,905,000 USD | Sold
From Sotheby's:
LONG-TAIL, HIGH-DOOR, COVERED SPARE: THE ULTIMATE 540 K
All Sindelfingen body styles for the Mercedes-Benz 540 K evolved through generations and variations, and the Special Roadster was no exception. Its original low-door style, essentially the same as the previous 500 K, was eventually succeeded by the so-called long-tail, high-door design. This is the car that enthusiasts think of when envisioning the iconic 540 K Special Roadster: great flamboyant sweeps of subtly skirted fenders, their power accentuated by a set-back radiator, and doors that curve back past a concealed top into a flowing upturned tail. It is as visually perfect a design as ever existed in the 1930s.
This is particularly true of the cars produced with a covered rear spare, hidden beneath a flush decklid with a very subtle, chrome-edged dorsal fin—a nod, perhaps, to French coachwork trends. It is the covered-spare, long-tail, high-door design that forms, truly, the ultimate Special Roadster, and the ultimate expression of Sindelfingen’s skill.
Just three original examples of this most sought-after design remain extant, of which that offered here is the only one presently available for sale now out of long-term ownership.
THE KING’S SPECIAL ROADSTER
According to a copy of the original Kommission paper, a copy of which is on file, the car was ordered for the King of Afghanistan in May 1937, and was delivered to him in Kabul in September 1937. The last monarch of his country, Mohammed Zahir Shah had succeeded his assassinated father not even four years earlier, at the age of 19, but for his first three decades left the country in the charge of his uncles. During this time Afghanistan built diplomatic relations with the great powers of the world, organized a national bank and state industries, and saw the construction of modern roads upon which a young King could motor swiftly around a rapidly growing and increasingly modern Kabul.
Later owner Vernon Jarvis noted in an accession form for his collection that “at the outbreak of World War II, [the 540 K] was sent to France and stored at the Afghanistan Embassy in Paris, where it remained until 1948. The King then gave it to his son-in-law...who brought it to England in 1950 and drove it only occasionally in London until 1952. The Prince sold it to Chipstead Motors, Limited in London during the summer of 1953, from whom it was purchased by Mr. A.W. Giles of Old Catton, Norwich, England for Mr. Vernon D. Jarvis, Dec. 22, 1953.” The car was shipped from London to Jacksonville, Florida, via the Ocean Ranger, to begin its new life abroad.
“HISTORY ON WHEELS” AT SILVER SPRINGS
Vernon D. Jarvis was a successful businessman from Illinois and an early American collector of Full Classics, building an enviable stable that included truly outstanding examples of Duesenberg, Delahaye, Isotta Fraschini, Cord, and many other great marques. His exceptional cars, including this 540 K, were exhibited alongside an impressive model circus, period-correct storefronts, and other oddments of the past in the Carriage Cavalcade, later known as the Early American Museum, built by Jarvis at the Florida tourist destination of Silver Springs.
For 30 years, visiting families could take a break from riding in glass-bottom boats or observing the milking of rattlesnakes at Ross Allen’s Reptile Institute, and view not just “History on Wheels,” but truly one of the best collections of prewar automobiles ever assembled in this country—a surreal experience only possible in mid-century America. Photographs on file show the car on exhibit in the spot lit halls of the roadside museum, as well as, in one of its few journeys “out,” at a 1958 car show in Sebring.
In 1986, the 540 K was acquired by Robert Bahre, known for his highly astute and ahead-of-his-time connoisseurship of excellent cars, including several important Mercedes-Benzes. Mr. Bahre was known for his bravado in the pursuit of exactly the right automobile; to acquire its motoring treasures, he quite literally bought the contents of the Early American Museum, en masse and wall-to-wall, right down to Mrs. Jarvis’s doll collection and costumed mannequins. In Mr. Bahre’s ownership, the King’s Special Roadster appeared in Beverly Rae Kimes’ noted book, The Classic Car, in 1990. Not long thereafter, it was sold to the current owners, as Mr. Bahre embarked upon the construction of his masterpiece, the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
CONSERVED
Since its acquisition for the collection, the 540 K has remained tucked away, seldom emerging for public view and, significantly, escaping the restorer’s touch. Indeed, to this day the car is still wearing the two-tone maroon finish and “new” floor mats, top cover, and leather seat upholstery that Vernon Jarvis described applying in December 1953. The Jarvis acquisition document notes that upon the 540 K’s purchase it had recorded 11,700 miles, but the odometer was reset as part of the previous work; today the odometer reflects 883 miles, indicating that this Special Roadster has yet to cover its 13,000th mile.
As one would expect, the car remains, with the exception of the aforementioned cosmetic finishes, a largely untouched and undisturbed. Not only does it retain all of its original mechanical components and the factory Typenshield and Kommission tags, it is rolling on the period Dunlop tires on which it likely emerged from England and even bears the body number stamped in the original floorboards.
One of the few surviving important pre-war cars remaining in such condition, its state of preservation, increasingly appreciated by connoisseurs today, is part and parcel of what makes it so highly significant.
Offered with a small collection of documents and photographs assembled by marque specialist Jonathan Sierakowski, having had only five private owners in seven decades, and kept exactly as road-trippers once ogled it at Silver Springs, the King of Afghanistan Special Roadster is one of the great supercharged Mercedes-Benzes and, in fact, among the ultimate Classics.
There is none other with its patina, its originality, or its past, which combine in an aura all its own.

The National Disabled Veterans TEE Tournament is the brainchild of several employees of the Iowa City VA Medical Center, along with two visually impaired Iowa Veterans. These visionaries created the TEE Tournament, an acronym standing for TRAINING, EXPOSURE and EXPERIENCE. In 2008, it became one of six VA national rehabilitation programs for Veterans. The event expanded to include not only blind Veterans, but amputees, wheelchairbound Veterans, and those with other life changing disabilities. It takes place each year in Iowa City.
