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 results are very gratifying indeed! visually very astounding for me personally.
When i finished preparing the "La crème aux petals de roses", I couldnt help but to scoop a dollop of it from the whisk into my mouth. Admittingly, the intensity of the sweetness came as a rather rude shock.. I was quite apprehensive about the concoction and re-read PH 10's recipe entry and re-calculated everything on my ingredients list to make sure that I'd not wrongly "downsized" anything. But everything seemed to be in the prescribed proportions.
I went on with the assemblage anyway, after keeping the cream in the fridge for a few hours to make it firmer. And necessarily, I plunged a dessert fork down the shell and took one ceremonious bite. The results are quite the opposite to what I'd experienced earlier. The tartness of the raspberry which was to an almost astringent level was delicately balanced by the sweetness of the rose buttercream, one seemingly aiming at taming the other! On top of that, the aroma of the rose essence elevated amongst the other flavours and envelops the whole buccal and nasal cavity. The moment was rather magical, I might say.
Pierre Hermé is indeed a genius! Not only is he a patissier held with the highest esteem, he is also an architect of flavours and textures in his own right!

The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is a British charity that breeds, trains and provide guide dogs for blind and severely visually impaired persons as well as advocating for the rights of visually impaired people. The Association is also actively involved in scientific canine and ophthalmic research that benefits its work. All the Association’s funding comes from voluntary donations.
The Guide Dogs was founded in 1931 and currently employs around 1,000 professional staff and some 14,000 volunteers whose work supports over 5,000 ‘active dog owners’ in the UK (as at 2016).
The work of the Association is encapsulated in their Vision, Purpose and Values statement:
• “Our vision is for a society in which people who are blind and partially sighted enjoy the same freedom of movement as everyone else.
• Our purpose is to deliver the guide dog service and other mobility services; to break down legal and physical barriers; and to enable people who are blind and partially sighted to get around on their own.
• Our values mean that we will always seek to be trustworthy and transparent; that we will always be innovative and responsive; and that we will collaborate with others wherever that is to the benefit of people who are blind and partially sighted.”

Visually, this image seems simple on the surface. It's when you look deeper where you see what I mean when I say that it is complex. First of all, there is a lot of foot prints in the sand. These are from many different people, most of which will never meet each other. Secondly, each grain of sand also makes it complex. You can see the way each person moved in the game of volleyball. I sharpened this one quite a bit, wanting to showcase every foot print in the sand. Barnbaum once said "It is rare that the scene-and the lighting on it- gives exactly what you envisioned for the print. You may want to brighten one area or darken others."
The creative world of Orla Kiely was founded in 1995 to express visually, her love of pattern, colour, texture and rhythm, which as components all play and work together. Her instinctive graphic discipline to simplify and stylise everyday motifs and forms adds another dimension. With clean orderly repeat constructions and a boldness of scale, her work achieves strength with a very modern quality, while her nostalgia for all things mid-century, help make her patterns charming, uplifting and instantly recognisable.

2014 saw a number of anniversaries which will help us tell this story. It's been 60 years since the creation of the iconic Routemaster, 75 years since the launch of the RT-Type bus and 100 years since the world's first mass-produced motor bus, the B-Type 'Battle Bus' that carried soldiers to the frontline during the First World War.
Our buses are the arteries of the capital, moving large numbers of people around the city - across the centre and to the extremities. They have affected great social change and continue to offer a lifeline to a diverse range of Londoners. Buses also support the needs of our growing city and in turn help London to function as the engine room of the UK's economy.
London is naturally proud of its bus network, one of the largest and most accessible in the world. Despite its size, the bus network remains flexible and able to adapt to the challenges of operating in a constantly changing streetscape.
To meet the future needs of the city, while minimising the environmental impact, we are using innovation and new green technology. Our fleet is already one of the cleanest in the UK, but we're constantly striving to see how new technology can further reduce our impact on the environment.
The bus sculptures, which are 2.5m long, 1m high and 0.5m wide, are painted and adorned by well-known and aspiring artists to showcase the vital role that London’s buses play in the life and economy of the city and the UK as a whole.
Londoners and visitors to the city will get the chance to discover the bus sculptures, which will be organised in clusters, on foot by following public art trails in four areas of the capital – three in central London and one in outer London.

The Data Visualization Concept is an endeavour in making sense of the collected data in quite a visually attractive manner. This concept of 'Data Visualisation' can be better explored by the art of Data Visualization Storytelling wherein the Data displayed not only provides a meaningful visual but also provides a meaningful story, that in our Data-Driven world, are called as 'Insights'
Data Visualization Techniques consist the capturing striking patterns and making it visually stand out against the rest of it's backdrop. To simplify the process, a number of Data Visualization Tools & Softwares are available allowing you place an extra level of awe over a plain mould. A common example of Data Visualisation in your day to day life can be in the form Data Visualization Infographics that are widely accepted and used to provide an attractive base to decorate your data on.
Data Visualization Benefits comprises of ease in the understanding of complex data that ultimately leads to faster information processing by the human brain.
This puts us on a standpoint to think: Will AI carry the task of Data Visualization in the future?

Ephémère 11th April 2013
Studio Loos, Den Haag
Barbara Ellison (IRL) is an artist living and working in Den Haag. She works visually and sonically using a diverse range of materials and processes. At the core of her practice is a fascination for the physiological and perceptual effects of sound on the body and mind with a particular interest in the process of the ritual and ritualisation. Her performances often play with ritualistic forms giving rise to sonic structures emerging through a hypnotic repetitious exploration of a simple sound-producing action. In this performance she will be exploring the medium of amplified drawings to create a sound environment which lures out phantoms of sound. She is also currently undertaking a PhD research project “Sonic Phantoms” for Huddersfield University, UK where she is researching the phenomenon of sonological emergence through a study of auditory perception, ambiguity and illusion. She composes and performs, makes installations, drawings, sculpture, performs in her own projects and is one of the six artists of the improvising performance art collective Trickster .
This performance is part of a new body of work exploring the exploitation of perceptually thresholds and ambiguity in the Auditory domain and correspondences between figure /ground reversal phenomenon in vision and its counterpart in Audition. Despite the relentless repetition, for me the fascination comes from the emergent patterns that appear in the foreground and disappear randomly and spontaneously, shifting and repeating with repeated listenings. I am intrigued by these unstable systems with their changing perspectives and am exploring their creative potential.
For this performance, Barbara Ellison invited performer Nathalie Smoor.

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.

So, I really like the updated Bratz. I find them very cute and more appealing visually than previous versions. I had no idea about these 4 dolls until I went to my local Toys R Us. When I saw Cameron I immediately grabbed him. The fashions are very cute. My only complaint is Cameron's height. I get that in the real world, everyone is all heights and weights. So yes, he is shorter but...for a doll line, I wish he were there height or a little taller. He seems like their kid brother. I realize they are in high heels and he is in flat shoes but still. I never owned previous lines of Bratz dolls with boys and girls so maybe this is normal.
By playing with the Dr. Bashi wood blocks, children as young as 12 months can begin visually to memorize the core elements in Arabic (alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, etc)—and learn the basic cognitive concepts (weather, the 4 seasons, basic math & more) —our sets thus help supports crucial developmental capabilities such as:
• Fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination which are the ability to hold a pen to write & draw, brush teeth, & tie shoes.
• Cognitive skills, meaning the ability to understand simple cause-and-effect principles, thought-filled learning process, how different objects relate to 1 another, & pre-mathematical explorations.
• Also the capacity for creative, divergent thinking
• As well as social interaction and language skills
•Plus literacy
The content for the Arabic blocks was created in close consultation with four world-renowned scholars of Arabic, namely Professors Sinan Antoon (NYU), Noha Radwan (UC Davis), George Saliba (Columbia), and Samah Selim (Rutgers).
A single set of Dr. Bashi™ woodblocks in any home and classroom can help advancing literacy, empowerment and citizenship.
At this moment, we offer considerable discounts on wholesale orders on our current inventory of Arabic and Persian blocks made in Vermont, USA and we have the capabilities to take in orders to make educational blocks in any world language or in any particular theme (chemistry, geography, botany, history, stories and much more)!
