Visually impaired and disabled Veterans from across the United States participate in the 21st National Disabled Veterans TEE Tournament.
The South Carolina State Library is pleased to host a free workshop on the Great American Eclipse 2017. This interactive and hands on training is specifically designed for visually impaired individuals and those who work with visually impaired populations, including special education teachers, early childhood specialists, teacher aides, paraprofessionals, tutors, counselors, and those in higher education.
Join us on July 26 to learn more about the historical event taking place on August 21, 2017 as a total solar eclipse sweeps across the entire United States, from Oregon to South Carolina.
Attendees will gain knowledge on the uniqueness of this eclipse, why eclipses occur, cultural connections, history, and safe viewing techniques. Discussion topics include NASA, solar systems, gravity, distance and scale, and geometry. All participants will receive a tactile book, digital materials and training resources. This workshop is free, however, registration is required to ensure seat availability.
The workshop instructors are Cynthia Hall, from the Lowcountry Hall of Science and Math (LHSM) and Dr. Cassandra Runyon, from the SC NASA Space Grant Consortium. This workshop is specifically designed for visually impaired individuals and professionals who work with this population and is designed as an educational program based in science, specifically astronomy and geology. Mariah, a visually impaired student at the College of Charleston, is also assisting with this workshop. Service dogs are welcome!

"Inclusiveness is key! This was spectacular.
A visually impaired wrestler competing in a main stream championship wrestling tournament. Arron, from Portlaoise Combat Academy Vs Peyton from Mohawk Valley Wrestling Club NY. One of the wrestlers was visually impaired, so to even out abilities, both wrestlers were blind folded.
Well done to Referee John for his experienced approach to this bout.
Great sportsmanship & wrestling from both."

Entitled Play On (2007) by Robert Dawson
It comprises approximately 2,500 tiles and through seven discrete panels spans 28 metres, almost covering the upper area of the building’s façade. In this multi-sectioned mural the original black and white grid of a chessboard goes from small to large with Escher-esque corners, twists, and impossible angles. As with much of his work, the optical illusions have multi- stability, the images move inwards and outwards, being visually neither stable nor totally unstable.
Visually impaired and other disabled Veterans roll for 300 during bowling events at the 2014 TEE Tournament.

A visually stunning decorative map of the world dating to 1852, by French map publisher Victor Levasseur. Levasseur depicts the world on a Mercator Projection, showing the six known continents as well as traces of Antarctica. The cartographic style of this piece is minimalist, but a few elements do bear special note. These include the extension of Oregon territory well into British Columbia, reflecting the American claims that later led to the 54 40' dispute. Also in North America, Texas is identified as an independent nation. Far to the north both the Northwest Passage over America and the Northeast Passage over Europe and Asia, are drawn as open and practically navigable waterways. By far this map's most striking feature is its elaborate allegorical border work. Levasseur composed this map for publication in his magnificent Atlas Nacionale de la France Illustree , one of the most decorative and beautifully produced atlases to appear in the 19th century. This particular map is surrounded by four medallions bearing allegorical representation of each season. Spring, in the upper left, is represented by a young unclothed woman modestly covering herself with garlands. Summer, in the lower right, is a powerful bearded man wearing an animal skin and surrounded by the bounty of life. Fall, upper right, is a young man reaping the harvest. And winter, lower left, is a huddled old woman in a barren snow covered setting. Atop the map is an image of the firmament, with shooting starts, clouds, and a symbolic representation of the Zodiac. At center is a curious unclothed women with four breasts who appears to be chained to the earth or to a heavy box which she is holding - Pandora? Adam and Eve appear to her right walking hand in hand through pre-fall Eden. There too is the serpent, slithering just behind the couple. At the base of the map an even more interesting scene unfolds in the form of a curious panorama. Here Jesus sits enthroned, bearing a cross in his left hand and pointing with his right, his head surrounded by a pyramid (a Masonic reference?). To his left are a stoic crowd including Napoleon, Socrates, and other unidentifiable great men bearing signs reading Paix (peace), Liber (freedom), and Egalite (equality). Behind them is a domed building that appears to be a Greek or Roman temple. Opposite this scene, on Jesus' right is a very different scene showing a crowd fleeing in terror - these include a Pharisee holding the Torah and a turbaned Saracen. Behind them are the pyramids of Egypt. They are running towards what appears to be the jungle in the midst of which is a plinth upon which sets a bust of Satan. In this we can only assume that Levasseur is attempting to convey the righteousness of reason and logic over emotion and old world superstition. Publised by V. Levasseur as page no. 95 in the 1852 edition of his Atlas National de la France Illustree.
I met this lovely couple on the TGV on my way back to Paris. I noticed them visually then settled into my traditional cup of coffee...all of a sudden I heard a funny electronic noise and looked over to them. Ankhbayar was playing with a remote-control car on the counter and looked absolutely enthralled. Before I could speak to them, he'd put a coke bottle on the car and was testing its balance as he drove it around, smiling with satisfaction. Of course, I HAD to ask them to be part of my challenge. Communication, albeit difficult, was in English: they were tourists traveling through Europe from Mongolia. I think that at first they thought I just wanted to capture the car and coke (hence their expression below) and then got the idea that I was interested in them, too.
I thank them very much for participating in my challenge and wish them happy and safe travels!!
As always, any suggestions for improvement are gratefully accepted.

West Kelowna is a visually stunning community and a four-seasons playground, located on the western shores and hillsides of Okanagan Lake.
The Westside (as the locals like to call it) has always been appreciated for its quiet beaches, rolling hills of orchards, and fantastic outdoor activities.
West Kelowna has a diverse economy, which includes agriculture, construction, finance, food and retail services, light industry, lumber manufacturing, technology, tourism and world renowned wineries.
The Kelowna Bridge over Okanagan Lake
The building of the original Kelowna bridge was one of the most important milestones in the history of Kelowna not only for it's economic development, but also for a vital social link, by opening transportation to the South Okanagan and beyond.
Built in 1958, the Okanagan Lake Bridge was also referred to as the Kelowna Floating Bridge. The bridge served as a major landmark and a primary north-south highway corridor in the province of BC, and an important link from the Pacific Northwest United States to British Columbia and north on to Alaska.
The bridge itself was a pontoon bridge, or floating bridge that contained a vertical lift span which could open up to allow boats to pass under it.
Pontoons would support the bridge deck floating on the water. According to history, floating bridges have been around since the 11th century .
Historically, from the mid 1880's to the mid 1930's, Sternwheelers such as the SS Okanagan and the SS York provided transportation to people and goods down and across Okanagan Lake. From the mid-30's, until the original Kelowna bridge was built, ferries would carry vehicles across Okanagan Lake from Kelowna to Westbank, BC, now known as West Kelowna.

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.

Pontoons would support the bridge deck floating on the water. According to history, floating bridges have been around since the 11th century .
Historically, from the mid 1880's to the mid 1930's, Sternwheelers such as the SS Okanagan and the SS York provided transportation to people and goods down and across Okanagan Lake. From the mid-30's, until the original Kelowna bridge was built, ferries would carry vehicles across Okanagan Lake from Kelowna to Westbank, BC, now known as West Kelowna.

Ever come upon autumn leaves that just make noise? I don't mean the poetic "rustle" of fall leaves! I mean rude, yelling, vocal, aggresive leaves that want your attention..... NOW!
Meet the "Rude Group".... I may never go near that tree again. It was very embarrassing... sigh!

The black legged dart poison frog. This species when found in the wild is highly toxic, though it loses toxicity when it is away from its natural diet. It differs visually from Phyllobates terribilis (seen elsewhere in my stream) because of the black coloring on the legs and elsewhere. Taken at the San Diego Zoo.
Marilyn Rushton, a well-known Burnaby citizen, is awarded with the province’s newest honour, the Medal of Good Citizenship.
Rushton is honoured for her for inspirational life of service to the visually impaired community, her contributions to families with blind and visually impaired children, and her energetic support for the musical community.

The visually pleasing but aurally disappointing 749264 at Praha Hlavni on the Cyklo Brdy Breznice turn, Sunday 29th April 2018. Rumour has it that CD are planning to remove the silencer from this loco, which would be nice if they could accomplish that this summer.
The most visually striking feature on Saturn’s icy moon Tethys is Odysseus crater. An enormous impact created the crater, which is about 280 miles (450 kilometers) across, with its ring of steep cliffs and the mountains that rise at its center. Odysseus is on the leading hemisphere of Tethys (1,071 kilometers, or 665 miles across). In this image, north on Tethys is up.
This view is a composite of several images taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 17, 2015, at a distance of about 28,000 miles (44,500 kilometers) from Tethys.
The Cassini spacecraft ended its mission on Sept. 15, 2017.
The most visually creative garnish came in from Captain Damien Walsh in his red pepper fire.
Rickard's first ever Griller of Glory competition, an Iron Chef style grilling contest held yesterday in Yonge-Dundas Square.
First up were the backyard grillers competing for the title and then the Firemen took to the grills raising $1000 for the Ontario Association of Food Banks.
I was joined by Mirella Amato, Councillor Kyle Ray, and Phil Nyman on the judging panel and I don't know about anyone else... but we had a great time.
Everyone turned out excellent plates but after much deliberation, tasting and consideration the winners were:
- Bob Jenkins
- Captain Paul Beams.
