Tactile Graphics and Strategies for Non-Visual Seeing
by Steven Landau, President of Touch Graphics
Published in Thresholds 19, pp. 78 - 82
MIT School of Architecture, 1999.
For people who have difficulty seeing, acquiring spatial and pictorial information is a
challenge, and in our image-laden world, access to pictures has increasingly become a
requirement for full participation in communal life. In 1996, Touch Graphics was formed as
a for-profit company to perform research and to develop a number of graphical tools
intended for a blind and visually impaired audience. These products and systems employ
"tactile graphic" materials as their central feature. This work has been done in
partnership, and is based on ten years of earlier research, by Computer Center for
Visually Impaired People, Baruch College, City University of New York.
Tactile graphics, in this case, refers to the presentation of spatial or pictorial
material using textured and raised-line media, thin PVC sheets that have been color
printed and then vacuum-thermoformed with shallow three-dimensional relief images. Tactile
graphics are "looked at" with the user's fingertips, or by a combination of
vision and touching. The products include maps of bus routes, subway systems and interior
transit facilities; free-standing public access "talking" kiosks; and touchable
computerized interfaces and interactive programming. For all of these products and
systems, the driving motivation has been to explore the ways that the user acquires
information through tactile means: the normal rules of graphic design are largely
inapplicable here, and new techniques based on non-visual perception were developed by
necessity. The following discussion will describe this research and its products. It is of
particular interest that in the course of this work, we have begun to identify a tactile
aesthetic experience that may be comparable to what a sighted person feels when presented
with satisfying visual materials. In addition to servicing our constituency of blind and
visually impaired people, we are interested in determining the qualitative differences
between tactile and visual perception: we start from the premise that engaging this
overlooked component of our sensory equipment can deepen spatial awareness for members of
this underserved and growing segment of the population.
Originally developed as way-finding tools for complex urban transit systems, tactile
graphic maps have evolved into a holistic system for presenting spatial information using
non-visual means that has proved useful for a wide range of mapping applications. The
primary challenges facing a tactile cartographer revolve around the requirement that dense
information, suitable for presentation in a single print document, must be separated into
several discrete "layers" that can be studied individually. In the example of
the New York City Subway system, a single print map (fig. 1) provides information about
geographical context; about the routes and interconnections of the 26 subway lines; about
important intermodal hubs at which riders can transfer to commuter rail or suburban buses;
and the names of each of the subway stations, shown in sequence along each train route.
Visual perception can discriminate each of the symbols shown on this map, and the sighted
reader can mentally absorb information at several levels without becoming overwhelmed with
data. For the visually impaired traveler, this material must be presented in a sequential
fashion, where each scalar view is digested from the general to the specific. The goal for
the tactile mapmaker is to allow the reader to accumulate information in a controlled way
so as to construct a mental image of a complex system.
For our imaginary city known as Utopia, this means that
a geographical overview (fig. 2) is shown first, to orient the user and to provide
a first look at the landmasses and disposition of the city vis a vis the surrounding
watercourses. For some blind people, "seeing" this simple map becomes
a profound life-event: for someone who has never been confronted with a graphic
map, developing an accurate mental picture of a place is difficult. Many blind
people construct these pictures based on their experience and anecdotal information.
Upon using a map for the first time, these ideas are either confirmed or shattered.
This is an essential first step in coming to grips with complex spatial configurations
that must be mastered before the next more detailed graphic images are examined,
so that true independence of travel can be achieved.
The next element in our sequence of map-types is the system overview (fig.
3). Here, all of the various subway routes are shown together, to give some
indication of the extent of the system; to show it in reference to major landmarks,
such as parks, the shoreline, and the city boundaries; and to locate key transportation
nodes at which the passenger can link up to commuter rail or suburban buses.
Typically, this map would not be brought along on an excursion: rather, it provides
a general view of the network, which can be studied at home during trip planning.
When the blind or visually impaired transit-rider sets out,
he or she will normally carry one or more strip maps (fig. 4), illustrating
the specifics of the subway routes that will be navigated on-route to the destination.
These compact booklets depict each station along a particular subway line in
a linear fashion. Instead of providing a spatially accurate picture of the actual
movement of the train through the city (such as in the system overview), strip
maps show the temporal progression of the subway as it passes through each station.
Each of the 3" x 6" pages of these maps shows three stops along a
straight line of travel, and stops are represented by event-markers, like beads
on a necklace. Actual compass bearings and relative distances between stations
are ignored. This map-type is particularly well-suited to the blind traveler,
because of the focus on sequence: when a person cannot rely on instantaneous
acquisition of spatial position and orientation, he must build understanding
through a steady accumulation of discreet facts about the environment as they
are confronted over a period of time. Not surprisingly, most sighted subway
riders do exactly the same thing; when the visual connection to the above-ground
world is severed, we all tend to count the number of stops (events) to our destination
instead of trying to reckon the distance or direction of travel. Spatial relationships
often become secondary to temporal considerations when we are deprived of vision.
The final components of the progression from the most general to the most specific
are, what are known in the parlance of professionals who train blind travelers,
mobility maps. These show detailed views of important public places, such as
long-distance bus and train stations, airports and ferry terminals. Mobility
maps can be used to show both the interiors of buildings (fig. 5) and their
context within a neighborhood (fig. 6). These documents illustrate (with scalar
and directional accuracy) the physical realities of complicated environments.
For the traveler, they provide valuable information regarding the layout of
these facilities, including locations for building entrances, ticket and information
counters, and departure platforms. They can also show vehicular traffic patterns
that must be negotiated to reach the building itself.
Through the combination of the four map products discussed
above, a trained tactile map reader can independently use public transportation
to perform normal life tasks like getting to school, to the office, or for recreation.
Beyond the primary requirement of separating out information into digestible
packages, our experience in creating this system has led to the development
of several other rules-of-thumb for producing images intended for the non-visual
acquisition of spatial information, some of which are listed below:
Talking Kiosks
With the support of a grant from the Federal Transportation Administration, the world's
first Talking Kiosk was installed for a 1-year demonstration in 1996. An updated,
permanent version, sponsored by MTA/Long Island Railroad, (fig. 7) was unveiled in a
public ceremony in July of 1999. Both Talking Kiosks were installed in the Long Island
Railroad's New York terminal facility in Penn Station. These devices provide
"way-finding" information to the general public in a format that is fully
accessible to a blind or visually impaired traveler. They employ a simple, yet powerful
combination of audio and tactile feedback to the user's queries. In practice, a traveler
uses the Talking Kiosk in the following way:
The essential difference between the function of maps that are carried vs. those
mounted to fixed position kiosks is that the latter have the advantage of deploying an
established station point, or 'you are here' marker. This allows the user to compare his
or her destination's location in space accurately in relation to the current position. In
print maps, 'you are here' is usually designated with a large symbol that is easy to find
at a glance. For tactile maps, this is even more important; it must be possible, with a
quick scan over the surface with the fingertips, to quickly locate the station point
symbol. Having to search each time for the home position makes for a choppy and probably
frustrating experience. At the Lighthouse in New York City, fixed-position tactile maps at
the elevator lobby of each of the building's 15 floors identify major destinations on that
floor in shallow relief on plastic maps, but the 'you are here' is a large steel ball
bearing. The change in materials (texture and temperature!) is an immediate give-away that
this is the most important place on the map.
At the Talking Kiosk, with the benefit of spoken words to enhance the map's ability to
communicate, 'you are here' is easily found. In the first Talking Kiosk, the user could
ask (via keypad picks) to have his hand guided to the kiosk in the following fashion. The
Kiosk says: "Touch the map anywhere now and the map's narrator will guide your hand
to the Kiosk." When the user touches the map, the Kiosk says, "Go right".
The user moves his hand to the right and touches again. He continues to adjust his
finger's position as the Kiosk coaches, "Go up...Go up...Go left...Go down..."
and when the user's finger touches the 'you are here' symbol, there is a little bell, and
he hears the congratulatory confirmation, "You've found the Kiosk". Once the
user has identified his current location with absolute confidence, it becomes possible to
inspect the map (usually with both hands, one remaining on the Kiosk and the other
roaming), to determine the locations of various places in relation to the Kiosk. This
feature was found to be easy to use and very helpful, so with the second Kiosk, it was
expanded to allow for any destination to be located through directed narration as
described above.
It is our ambition to promote an interconnected network of Talking Kiosks, so that a
person who has difficulty seeing will know to listen for the bird song upon entering a
complicated public space to locate a source of accessible travel information. The
confidence that this will generate may convince some blind or visually impaired people to
venture out of their homes, and to participate more fully in those mainstream activities
that require access to transportation.
Development of the Talking Kiosks helped us to further refine what it means to see without vision. A sighted person acquires information useful for successful negotiation of his environment using his eyes; upon scanning a new place, he instantly creates a spatial model that can be consulted at will in order to inform decisions. Without the benefit of vision, a similar process occurs, except that this acquisition of information takes place over a period of time. And, while vision is clearly a more efficient method of information-gathering than non-visual means (tactile, auditory, olfactory), there are distinct advantages to the latter. For example, sighted people know that they cannot see through walls or around corners, and they tend to defer consideration of what is beyond the visual sphere until it is confronted in person. On the other hand, a blind person who is adept at non-visual seeing feels no such compunction to limit the range of his environmental knowledge to what can be seen with the eyes. His mental model might well extend much further afield, and make up in range what it lacks in local detail.
Another obvious limitation of sight is that it trains us to distrust our other senses: until we see something, we withhold final judgement. Our noses might indicate that there is a bakery 20 feet away on the left, however we will probably not be sure that its there until we read the sign outside or see the display within. The common wisdom that blind people have super-normal powers of hearing and smell is not physiologically accurate. However, they typically learn to rely much more heavily on the other senses, and can use them more successfully for identification and spatial imaging.
Talking Tactile Tablet and the Tactile Graphical User Interface
When Personal Computers were first introduced, there was great optimism in the
blindness community that their availability would lead to greater independence and
employability, since speech synthesis is an effective means of accessing text-based
information that appears on a video monitor. However, now that Graphical User Interfaces,
like Microsoft's Windows are ubiquitous, it becomes clear that the early promise of the PC
as an enabling technology is not guaranteed; the ability to point-and-click and
drag-and-drop with a mouse requires good visual acuity and motor skills. Although most
programs written for Windows claim to be accessible using a combination of "keyboard
shortcuts" and screen reader software, this is not always the case. Especially when
spatial understanding of the screen layout is a principal feature of an application's
function, developing a reasonable level of facility can be difficult or impossible. In
Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet program, for example, it is very difficult to create and
read spreadsheets without vision. The structure of these documents, which usually consist
of rows and columns of cells, each containing data, is often so complex, that it is not
realistic to expect the average visually impaired user to develop an adequate mental model
without some assistance. And since programs like Excel have become almost indispensable to
success in some careers (like purchasing, real estate development or personnel), people
who have difficulty seeing are effectively locked out.
When the first Talking Kiosk project was completed, it became apparent that
the concept of combining audio output with computerized tactile graphic images
could, if properly deployed, help to mitigate the barrier created by the Graphical
User Interface. The Talking Tactile Tablet initiative was born out of the recognition
that a non-visual audience could work with graphic images if they were presented
tactilely; mouse-type manipulations could be accomplished as long as the user
could feel the shapes and hear their identities before making a selection. With
funding from the Department of Education through the Small Business Innovation
Research Program, Touch Graphics created the Talking Tactile Tablet. The six-month
project led to the design and construction of a prototype of the device and
associated programming and tactile media for its use.
The Talking Tactile Tablet (fig. 8) is a low-cost computer peripheral; it consists of a
compact enclosure (14" x 10" x 1 1/2") which houses a touch-sensitive
surface, a simple apparatus for holding an 8 1/2" x 11" tactile graphic overlay
motionless against the touch-surface, and hardware for establishing RS 235 serial
communications between the device and a host computer via a single cable. The computer
interprets touches on the tactile graphic overlay as mouse picks: the x,y coordinates of
the tactile object that has been touched becomes information that is available for use by
software running on the host computer. By assigning identities to rectangular areas
defined by their upper left and lower right corners, it is possible to have the computer
speak the name of any feature of a tactile drawing that has been sensitized in this
fashion, and for which an appropriately named digital audio file has been prepared.
Additionally, through the use of an authoring system like Macromedia's Director, elaborate
interactive programming can be created that uses the TTT as a pointing device, the tactile
overlay as a static "video" image, and both pre-recorded and synthetic voice and
sound effects as output. Using this system, the potential for rich, multi-media computer
applications that can be competently run by blind and visually impaired appears to be
In order to demonstrated the virtues of this system, we designed a Tactile Graphical User Interface (TGUI: see fig. 9) with standardized control icons and format for use with the TTT that emulates the model of Windows computing. A start-up routine and a sample application were developed for use with the system. The start-up routine serves as a master control program and tutorial for initializing the device every time a new tactile drawing is placed on the device's "easel". Most basically, this is a two-step process: once the drawing has been fixed in position, the user hears a recorded voice instructing him to press "set up" dots in three corners. By this means, the user communicates to the computer a correction factor that represents the actual displacement of the mounted tactile drawing as compared to an ideal position. All subsequent touches are then interpreted in the context of the overlay's actual position. This calibration process is important, because it is unreasonable to expect a totally blind user to accurately place the drawing on the device. Next, the user runs his finger along a series of ten small boxes at the top of each sheet. He finds that three of these boxes have small raised dots in them, and proceeds to press each of them in response to verbal cues. By pressing these dots, the user communicates to the computer that of many possible applications is being run. The user hears the name of the application, and at this point, the start-up routine relinquishes control of the system and invokes the appropriate executable file for use with the selected overlay.
Our sample application was called Match Game; it is intended for children ages seven
and older. Each time the game is played, the computer randomly assigns animal sound files
to each of 64 squares in an eight-by-eight tactile grid. Players take turns choosing two
squares to hear the sounds. Each square has an address that is determined by its position
in an alphanumeric matrix: for example, the square that is in the upper left corner of the
grid is labeled "A1", the one that is in the third row and the fourth column is
"C4", etc. The object is to find pairs of matching sounds. The computer keeps
score and controls the flow of the game.
Although the game is simple in concept, both the sample application and the start-up routine successfully demonstrated the viability of the system in the following ways:
Our ambition is to create a library of interactive computer applications for use with
the Talking Tactile Tablet; once a critical mass of software titles are made available,
schools, libraries, and individuals will be more likely to invest in the hardware. Some
future ideas for applications include travel guides, crossword puzzles, trigonometry
curricula, spread sheets, and simulators for learning orientation and mobiltiy skills. We
hope to establish the Tactile Graphic User Interface as a standard design protocol for
anyone who wants to develop new computer applications that rely on non-visual perception
through audio/tactile means.
We are interested in discovering ways in which the tactile viewing experience can be
made more pleasurable; just as in print media, work that is particularly aesthetic and
enjoyable is focused on and digested more thoroughly as compared to material that has been
designed without considering graphic quality. The characteristics of an aesthetic tactile
experience, however, have been shown to be quite different from the print equivalent.
As technology has advanced, the means of creating and distributing print materials has
become much cheaper. Graphic art techniques have adapted to this pace, and the end result
may be that our ability to look carefully and absorbently may be deteriorating. These
days, we are presented with great quantities of visual images that we feel compelled to
consume in an increasingly scanned and necessarily cursory manner. The highest value is
put on designs that attract our attention amidst an expanding universe of competing and
distracting voices; less care is devoted to richness of content and thoughtfulness of
layout after the original impact has been made. Tactile graphics must pursue an alternate
strategy, since it is almost impossible to make an instant impact: the reader using his or
her fingertips can only examine one region or point at a time, slowly accumulating
fragments to construct a mental model of the complete picture. Furthermore, there is no
tactile equivalent to the common practices of web surfing, remote control clicking or
magazine page flipping. The tactile reader must spend at least a few minutes looking
before the whole image or design scheme begins to emerge. Tactile images that are
organized to allow for the identification of discreet bits of content that is presented in
a rational hierarchy usually offer the most satisfying and aesthetic experiences. The
necessarily slow and deliberate pace of tactile looking might even be thought of as an
antidote to the superficial characteristics of a contemporary media culture that offers
instant gratification but does not require much of a commitment on the part of the viewer.

Ten years after its release, one of its screenwriters explains where its most ubiquitous punchlines and catchphrases came from
What would the world be like without Wedding Crashers? It'd be a pretty bleak place, probably: Bros on college campuses everywhere would have fewer rallying cries to shout at each other before and after shotgunning beers; weird, noisy boob-related foreplay acts would remind no one of motorized watercraft; violently needy lovers would have to be called something distinctly unhilarious like "violently needy lovers."
Thankfully, though, Wedding Crashers made it to U.S. cinemas on July 15, 2005. And it's a good thing; otherwise you wouldn't have that one friend who still, ten years later, loves quoting Wedding Crashers.
Steve Faber, co-writer of 2013's We're the Millers and author of a novella in the new collection The Blumhouse Book of Nightmares, co-wrote what Entertainment Weekly named one of the most quotable comedies since 1970 with his high school classmate Bob Fisher. This week, Faber told me about the origins of some of the punchlines and catchphrases it's hard to remember a world without—and about where its characters might have ended up after the credits rolled.
Some of the most quotable lines from Wedding Crashers come from John and Jeremy's list of rules for crashing weddings, like Rule 76: "No excuses, play like a champion." Particularly beloved, that one. How'd you guys come up with it?
Well, I worked for Congress right out of college—for Ed Markey, the Congressman, now Senator Ed Markey. I didn't have any money. They didn't pay very well at all. So I was living crammed into an unfurnished condo outside of D.C. with five other people also working for Congress. We not only didn't have food, we didn't have cutlery. Knives, forks, and such.
So what I decided one day was—remember those old laminating machines, you could make a badge and laminate it? I would print out my name and underneath I would write "administrative associate to Senator Kennedy," or "administrative aide to the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee." And these various lobbying groups used to hold these gigantic lobbying events—the shrimpers associations, they held the best lobbying dinners. Unbelievable. So I would bring my big briefcase to work that day, and then after work, I would stick on this big laminated badge and get into these dinners and not only eat and drink for free but at the end—and I'm not proud of this—open my briefcase and gently slide the plates and the cutlery off the table.
So you were a lobbying-dinner crasher.
It just seemed like the right thing to do. The shrimpers, they were spending so much money, getting these tax breaks, and all these gigantic corporations were getting huge tax breaks. So I thought, why not donate to a good cause, like all of us crammed into this unfurnished condo?
And by the time I was done, [my roommates], who had laughed at first—well, we had a fully stocked set of dishes and glasses. I mean, when you're bringing shrimp home in your pockets, it gets a little weird. But I always thought, you really have to go big or go home.
I see the connective tissue there. Some of these other rules are pretty specific to crashing weddings, though—like "Don't commit to a relative unless you're absolutely positive they have a pulse." Did this one come from some traumatic experience of your own?
Oh, this is a constant problem I have. Constant problem. I'm a very caring and compassionate man! I really am. And of course when you have to say those words to somebody, that's the last thing that you want. But I'll say, How's Aunt Rose? And I'll hear that Aunt Rose passed six months ago. And that's humiliating.
"Never walk away from a crasher in a funny jacket."
[Long pause] I honestly can't help you there. I don't remember writing that one. But I guess if you see another crasher in a funny jacket, you know you can come in to steal the show, because the woman that two guys are trying to hit on, she doesn't want to talk to the guy in the funny jacket. And so you can gently make light of the funny jacket and point her attention toward it, and then have her realize it is indeed a funny jacket.
The rules in Wedding Crashers were all about how to approach a woman at a wedding you've just crashed that will get her interested in you. For me the big one was "man with haunted past." More as a persona than a rule, but a good rule, too. I suppose in my warped mind ten years ago—and still in my warped mind—there's a connection between somebody you're attracted to and want to be attracted to you, and having this mysterious past that you can barely talk about, whether that's for legal reasons or because it chokes you up. Like that's a big seduction. And actually I thought the best way to express that was, "We lost a lot of good men out there." When John says that, you don't know what the hell he's talking about!
"Lost a lot of good men out there" has taken on a life of its own, I feel, too. Every now and again I'll hear someone add it onto the end of a story they've just told, especially if it wasn't that funny. "Lost a lot of good men out there."
I didn't know that had become something! I really didn't. I'm surprised by that!
Okay. Next one: "Eye-fucking." Your invention?
I thought everybody was familiar with eye-fucking! Prior to Wedding Crashers I was working in network television, and you're sitting with a lot of comedy writers, pitching a lot of jokes, and that phrase came up really early. I thought people knew it! I almost felt like it was cliche.
Really? I think the first time I heard it was in Wedding Crashers! But in any case, I bet everybody heard it much more after the movie.
That's interesting. Yeah. I probably don't want that one on my headstone.
Probably a wise choice. Okay, same question: "Motorboating."
When I was at UCLA, my college roommate had the most juvenile ways of expressing his sexual forays. And one of them was motorboating. I would say, "Please. Stop doing that. It's embarrassing. You're fucking embarrassing." And he'd say, "Well, how else should I describe it?" And I'd say, "Don't describe it!"
I'm not one of those guys who likes to hear about other guys' sexual conquests. Especially somebody's sexual conquests that sound like a cartoon.
I think the Wedding Crashers quote I hear the most in everyday vernacular is "stage-five clinger." Did you know someone at some point who described women that way, or did that one just come from your imagination?
That's my favorite. It was in the very first draft, and that one came fully from my imagination. I was in love with that. I was in love with him saying it. We've all encountered it in one way or another. Doesn't even have to be sexual; can even be friendly. Some people, they're just—they're clingers!
I'm still mystified, all these years later, by "Let's play tummy sticks." Is my hunch correct that no one on Earth actually knows what "tummy sticks" is?
Oh, that. That was a throwaway. You're not supposed to know what it means.
Okay. Thank you. This feels validating.
It implies something erotic and fun. But no, you are absolutely not supposed to have a definition of what "tummy sticks" is.
Do you have your own personal definition of it, though? I'm not gonna ask what it is, if you do.
I… probably do. And if I went to therapy, it might come up.
"True love is your soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another." John says it to Claire, then he adds that he saw it on a bumper sticker. Was there a bumper sticker involved on your end?
That one was actually an inside joke—if you can call Nietzsche an inside joke. It was a quote from Nietzsche. In comedy there are ten-percenters—that's a one-percenter. But it sounded good, and I don't think he knew what the fuck to say at that point. In my mind, he had Googled "romantic quotes." Maybe this makes it sound like we're ripping off quotes from famous philosophers. But trust me, that's the only time that happened. [laughs] I don't think Nietzsche ever talked about motorboating.
"We only use ten percent of our brains; I think we only use ten percent of our hearts."
I think [this line speaks to how] these guys started overthinking this: What was once an act of juvenalia and juvenile fun became a profession, and when they spot this news that the Secretary of the Treasury's daughter is getting married and what a wedding that would be, in the context of that quote, they're thinking about it, not feeling it. They don't really start feeling until the end of the second act, leading into the third act.
So this one's more than just a cheesy line, then; these guys really are learning to use more than ten percent of their hearts.
Well, I didn't want to write a rom-com. Where everything gets tied up neatly at the end. In the last scene of Wedding Crashers, these people aren't going to stay together. They're just not. This isn't the beginning of an eighty-year marriage. It's kind of like the end of The Graduate. Those two aren't gonna stay together. You know they're not. But it was no longer about their romance; it was about being able to pull that off. Obviously, studios want happy endings. Everybody should feel good leaving the theater. But I wanted to complicate it a little bit. These four people get in a car together, and they could be done in ninety minutes. I think some people got that, and I wanted people to get that.
So in your imagination, what happens after they get in the car?
I think you can't take a man whose brain is inculcated with these really bizarre ideas about women and women's sexuality and retrain him in a week. You can't make him a new man. Isla's character Gloria was never a virgin but played Jeremy; she's a player, too. When two players go at it, that's not going to work out very well. I think [John] has this over-nostalgized version of romance, or over-romanticized version of nostalgia—and I think he and Claire have fun for a while, and then Claire goes back to being the daughter of the Secretary of the Treasury. It's not a love story about Jeremy and Gloria or a love story about John and Claire. It's a love story about John and Jeremy.
I hate this phrase "bromance." I can't stand it. But it really is about the stability of their friendship. It's a love story between those two.

SSC who were set a daunting 540 for victory on the final day, folded up for just 275 runs with Sammu Ashan making his second half century of the match.

Batting a second time around Ports didn't fair any better as they were shot out for 108 to lose by an innings and 184 runs.

SHREVEPORT, La.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Numberlys will join Amazon Video's lineup of new kids pilots
for its 2015 fall pilot season, debuting on November 5th, exclusively on
Amazon Video in the US, UK, Germany, Austria and Japan. Moonbot Studios
first introduced The Numberlys as a Webby Award-winning app in
2012, followed by a bestselling picture book and festival favorite short
film in 2014. The property is Moonbot's second multi-platform story,
crafted after the success of the studio's Academy Award®-winning The
Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.
The whimsical world of The Numberlys was expanded for the Amazon
Video pilot, taking the original group of five best friends on new
adventures. One day, they discover something they've never seen before—a
tiny sprout in their concrete and metal city. Though they don't know
what it is, they decide to protect this unique little thing against all
obstacles. Through invention, stumbles and bumbles, they help the sprout
become a beautiful tree, making a lasting, joyful change in their world. The
Numberlys encourages children to think beyond the way things are
always done and to imagine the way things could be in their world.
"The Numberlys is Moonbot's most elaborate homage to the grandeur
and power of classic cinema. But, for kids! And parents! For everybody!
This pilot is an exciting step forward not only for our Numberly friends
but also for our hardworking team here in Shreveport, Louisiana," said
William Joyce, who created The Numberlys with Moonbot Studios
partners Brandon Oldenburg and Lampton Enochs, who executive produced.
The pilot was written by Emmy® winner Joe Fallon (Between the Lions,
Arthur), and directed by Saul Blinkoff (Doc McStuffins, Kronk's
New Groove).
"Every once in awhile, an opportunity comes along to create something
that is truly unique and captures the imagination. I was constantly
inspired by the level of commitment and hard work invested into The
Numberlys by everyone at Moonbot Studios," said Saul Blinkoff. "Our
eccentric and diverse group of Numberlys are excited by the possibility
of change, innovation and are always looking to discover new ideas to
enhance their world! It was extremely important to me to find subtle
acting moments for our pre-school audience to relate to the Numberlys'
Amazon customers will once again be invited to watch and provide
feedback on the shows they want to see turned into full series for Prime
members. All pilots will be available via the Amazon Video app for TVs,
connected devices and mobile devices, or online at Amazon.com/amazonvideo.

As most people would agree, out hair is out crowning glory. Everyone wants their hair to look healthy and vivacious, but some people just haven't found the right mix of tools and products to make that happen. The advice you have found here will help you to have the shiny hair you've always dreamed about.
When you have freshly trimmed hard make sure you make extra efforts to care for your hair after. You want to keep up with grooming your hair so that it is easier to manage. When you let your go it can be hard to manage it later on either for you or for a hairstylist.
For those with curly hair, nix SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) from your hair care routine, for bouncy, care-free curls. SLS is a harsh stripping agent that robs your hair of essential oils. This creates the illusion of frizz and encourages breakage. You can spot this substance by checking the ingredients of your products.
People with curly hair should absolutely avoid using smoothing brushes and other brushes that have dense, fine bristles. You should use a wide-tooth comb for any combing. However, you should take care to use a heavy detangler before attempting to comb out knots and other tangles, as curly hair is susceptible to breakage.
While a pony tail is an easy way to style your hair when you don't have a lot of time, it's best not to style your hair this way, too often. Keeping your hair pulled back with a hair tie can lead to hair loss and damage. Be sure to change up the way you style your hair.
Try to avoid chemicals in your hair care products, for healthier results. Many products make a lot of promises, but it's up to you to read the ingredients and determine if those promises are gimmicks or not. The more basic and natural the ingredients are, the better your results will be.
Although it is tempting to wash your hair after sweating in the summer, sweat itself isn't actually that dirty. You can end up washing your hair too often in the summer, turning it dry and brittle. Rather than washing your hair every time you sweat, use just a rinse and conditioner occasionally. This should clean your hair enough between shampoos.
When you are drying your hair, refrain from staying in the same spot for a long period of time. This can essentially burn your hair and leave your strands very weak and fragile. Move your hair dryer back and forth and keep it away from your scalp to maintain hair health.
Other than natural oils, you should avoid putting styling products directly on your scalp. Not only will this irritate your skin, but you can potentially clog pores and create pimples. This also contributes to flakes and dandruff as the product dries and falls off of your head throughout the day.
As you read in this article, it really isn't that difficult to have a gorgeous head of hair. Use these tips to get the best tresses in no time. Learn which techniques work best in your hair care routine and begin using them today.

Afterwards Tuesday, Kurt Sutter's next act will start. The Bastard Executioner
The outspoken creator of Sons of Anarchy has been splitting his time in current months between Wales, where his FOREX medieval drama, The Bastard Executioner, has been filmed, and Los Angeles, where he maintains his writers room. In Kurt Sutter's retelling, Bastard wasn't born out of a wish to do a period piece so much as it was to research the moral complexities of the executioner profession.

Simply Bewitching: A New Era in Wine Labels
by Brittany Willes, editor
The Bewitched label recently received a gold award during the 24th annual FSEA Gold Leaf Awards. It was recognized for most Creative Use of Foil & Embossing Label (Sheet or Rotary).
With its dramatic gold foiling set against a striking black background, the Bewitched Chardonnay wine label has been making a splash since it first arrived on the scene. Designed by Joy Hallman of Stranger & Stranger, an international design firm with a reputation for creating unique and unforgettable packaging, its little wonder Bewitched has received such high levels of admiration. To bring the design to life, Stranger & Stranger reached out to Vintage 99 Label, a California-based printer specializing in wine labels.
When remarking on the Bewitched label, Vintage 99 Director of Sales and Customer Service Brian Lloyd stated, Clients are constantly telling us, Oh wow, I want my label to look like this! Its effective and different and it gets everyones eye.
Effective is one way to describe the label. Utilizing a mixture of bold lettering, fine lines and tiny diamond embellishments all done in dramatic gold foil the design, at first glance, appears quite complex. However, looks can be deceiving, and, in the case of Bewitched, this works to the labels advantage.
When Stranger & Stranger first brought us the project, we knew it would be a challenge due to the very fine lines and dots that make up the design, explained Lloyd. From a finishing standpoint, its already difficult. What makes it even harder is the combination of thick letters paired with incredibly fine dots. This is because the foil reacts differently to pressure and temperature. Managing both throughout a run that incorporates both fine and broad details can be quite challenging.
For example, the diamond-shaped border around the Bewitched name is composed of two differently sized fine lines of foil, in addition to lines of extremely small dots. The border is as fine as it is possible to get and still transfer well. Holding that pattern without any of the individual diamonds dropping out while also holding the solid foil letter B represented one of the greatest challenges due to the pressure, temperature and tension of the foil, which needed to be just right.
Yet, because the labels design is composed entirely of foil stamping, this actually made it easier to print in many ways. According to Lloyd, had the design required printing over foil, embossing or other elements, the production process would have been much more complicated. From a production standpoint, said Lloyd, once we got the foil die correct, it was pretty smooth sailing.
One of the reasons the Bewitched label is so striking is the black vellum paper on which it is printed. This unique paper is dyed black all the way through, making it particularly successful when used for bottles. Unlike traditional white paper labels that result in a visible edge, Stranger & Stranger wanted only the black and gold foil visible when viewing the red bottle. For Vintage 99, this also meant they didnt have to perform any additional printing to accommodate the design. It all came down to the foil. From a printing standpoint, theres technically no print, said Lloyd, just finishing and diecut and varnish.
Once Vintage 99 received the design file for the label, it was sent to the companys die vendor to be sure the whole design could be reproduced without any of the fine lines dropping off. Along with the original design file, Vintage also sent a quick-time rendering of the bottle and artwork. This was made possible using 3D proofing software called Visualizer.
The software allows us to actually take the artwork, render it on a bottle in a quick-time VR movie that we can send to the die vendor and the client, said Lloyd. We do that prior to pulling the trigger making the die and getting it on press. We wanted to be sure we could get all the subtle nuances of the foil diemaking processes just right.
The label itself was printed at Vintage 99s Santa Rosa facility on an offset press with a flat-stamp unit built in. According to Lloyd, this meant taking the flat-stamp unit with the die, mounting it in the press and doing a lot of fine-tuning before running it.
We did foil runs between the black paper that is already dyed and the gold foil. That heat transfer process gives the label the final look, said Lloyd. The last step was to apply a protective varnish that helps prevent scuff marks while the wine bottles are in transit.
Despite its challenges, the label has been a resounding success. As Lloyd noted, The clients loved it. They havent wanted to change anything and have no plans of deviating from the original design. The response has been pretty overwhelming.
The Bewitched label recently received a gold award during the 24th annual FSEA Gold Leaf Awards. It was recognized for most Creative Use of Foil & Embossing Label (Sheet or Rotary).

Gearing up/
Our space is feeling much more like a cidery now that we've got our equipment moved into the cider shed. That's a real nice photo of me smiling and slapping adhesive on FRP panels for the walls, but not pictured is the crew of builders, electricians and plumbers who did about 99% of the renovations and have been working madly to meet our government inspection deadline--while coming up with creative solutions to equipment setup issues and work space configurations. They've done a beautiful job inside and out, and we can't wait to get in there and get to work making cider.
Meanwhile, we've been spending much of our time picking, trying to meet an average of 800 lbs of apples per day and building the apple bins as we run out. Luckily they should last for many years! As the hop grower down the road reminded us, the first year is always the worst. There's a lot we weren't prepared for and we probably over-estimated the amount of time and energy we have, but next year--next year will be grand. Everyone on the island seems to have King of Tompkins County trees, quite a nice blending apple for cider, and which of course are all ready at the same time. But once we've gathered them all we're hoping the harvest dates for the later season varieties will be a bit more staggered...
As a side note, before we got too busy we did spend some time exploring a few abandoned old orchards that locals have been telling us about (one pictured above left). Some of the trees are just loaded, so we took our handy refractometer and tested the "specific gravity" of each variety (sugar levels). A few were above our desired minimum but none were overly exciting, which is to be expected with many of these old settler trees. Often the only characteristic European settlers looked for was "keeping" ability, so they could store them over winter in their cellars. We'll keep hunting, though, convinced that we will eventually find, tangled in blackberries and ivy, the holy grail of Pender Island apples.

Plan for £30m Salford to Trafford heritage railway proposed
A railway line closed in 1964 could reopen as a heritage line for steam engines if new plans come to fruition.
Businessman Neil McArthur's £30m plan would see a footpath and cycleway run alongside six miles (9.5km) of tracks between Salford and Trafford.
The proposal also includes rebuilding three stations and reinstating the Cadishead Viaduct.
Mr McArthur said the "economic, social and environmental benefits" of reopening the line "would be huge".
The plans for the new line, which would run from Irlam to Timperley, and a report by Mr McArthur have been submitted to two councils, Network Rail as well as other transport bodies for consideration.
The businessman, who has proposed the idea through his charity, the Hamilton Davies Trust, said the nearby East Lancashire Railway, which runs from Bury to Rawtenstall, showed what could be achieved.
"The East Lancs heritage railway shows the demand with 200,000 passengers a year, so there is a local example to learn from," he said.
"We're asking the political representatives and transport bodies to join with us in exploring the art of the possible."
He added that as the entire route was owned by Network Rail, the realisation of his vision would be "reasonably uncomplicated".
Mr McArthur has previously financed the £2m restoration of the station at Irlam and his new plan would see stations rebuilt at Cadishead, Partington and Timperley.

This monograph is a sociohistorical study of the medical profession under the Third Reich and rests on the author's previous work analyzing doctors and medicine from Wilhelm II to Hitler. It draws upon documents in the Federal Archive of Koblenz and the Berlin Document Center. Primary material was also drawn from the student archive in Würzburg and other regional West German archives. He also drew on the papers of the former panel physicians' association, the KVD, as well as the predominant professional journals and memoirs of physicians that lived beyond 1945.
At the dawn of the Third Reich, in 1933, there was a surplus of physicians, inherited from the republican era. These doctors were at first hopeful that the new regime would address issues left over from the health administration of the Weimar Republic, but their hopes were not fulfilled. Under the republic medical graduates had to spend three years as an assistant in a hospital where they were poorly paid, and forbidden to seek other sources of income. Establishing themselves as independent practitioners was almost impossible for a doctor straight out of medical school. One of the complaints lodged by spokesmen for this group was that medical institutions should stop advertising junior positions for bachelors only. They also emphasized that, after public school teachers, high school teachers, and jurists, they represented the fourth largest group of academically trained professionals born after 1900.
But under the Third Reich, the medical profession became a microcosm of the larger Nazi sociopolitical system, governed by the Nazi leadership principle and redefined in National Socialist terms. Physicians now had to present every private contractual arrangement to the Reich Physicians' Chamber for approval, register with the Nazi medical agencies and keep them informed of any changes in their family status or medical qualifications. They also had to report on their patients. All serious cases of alcoholism, 'incurable' hereditary or congenital illness (i.e. imbecilism) and highly contagious diseases such as venereal disorders were recorded and reported to the appropriate authority.
The doctors themselves were required to undergo continued training. Partly this was to break down the distinction between general practitioners and medical specialists, but it was also to teach them National Socialist concepts of health and medicine. The unpopularity of these courses was perhaps offset by another change in their profession implemented by the Nazi legislators, its redefinition. By stating that the medical occupation was not a business, the Reich Physicians' Chamber was able to exclude anyone who was not properly schooled or licensed.
This did not do away with medical quacks, however, for the Nazi conception of medicine favored the lay element over 'school' medicine. Instead they created a new class titled "physician of natural healing" open to anyone who could demonstrate the requisite ability. Anyone in this group with extraordinary talent could enter a medical facility without the usual professional medical qualification, and could even receive a license as a doctor medici. The Nazis further required that regular doctors had to assist registered lay healers at the latter's request.
Under the Third Reich medicine became the preeminent academic discipline, with approximately 30 percent of all university faculty being composed of medical teachers by 1935. Medical faculty also became dominant in university power politics. Between 1933 and 1945 the percentage of medical faculty serving as rectors increased from 36 to 59 percent. Along with this increase in power and significance there was the establishment of a new discipline that became a part of the medical curriculum after 1933, Rassenkunde or Rassenhygiene, race hygiene or eugenics. This 'science' consisted of three parts: anthropological, sociological, and medical, and its goal was to improve the superior race, while eliminating the inferior ones.
Kater thus links the professionalization of medicine in the Third Reich with its corruption. West German doctors saw these events as a struggle between the forces of freedom and democracy against the totalitarianism of the Nazi regime. A battle which the latter eventually won. East German doctors, on the other hand, saw these events as the result of a premeditated conspiracy between fascist-minded German doctors and Nazi political leaders. Kater feels that the truth is somewhere in between, but that it lies closer to the East German perspective, than the West German one.

NEXZIK: Nabil Ft Pazzo # – ThisIsAfrica (TIA)
Belgian-based emcee and 3rd World survivor boss Nabil Nabstar drops his new tune dubbed "ThisIsAfrica" (TIA) featuring singer and producer Pazzo.
Enjoy !
Belgian-based emcee and 3rd World survivor boss Nabil Nabstar drops his new tune dubbed "ThisIsAfrica" (TIA) featuring singer and producer Pazzo.
Enjoy !
Third World Survivor presents Nabstar ft Nick Mayor on a brand new tune titled "Sharp sharp" . The trap beat carries hard punchlines and so much lyrically profound. Nabstar is definitely a force to reckon with.
As Belgium based rapper Nabil a.k.a Nabstar prepares his comeback fully into the music scene, this year has seen him actively release tracks and videos for his EP "My Tory Part 1". Kwasia Braha is the dancey new track with a controversial twist also to be featured in this EP with its video scheduled for release on Saturday 7th December 2013. Here below is the audio:
In anticipation of the release, here are 15 Fun Facts associated with the audio/video.
And that concludes the 15 Fun Facts for Kwasia Braha video to be released this Saturday 07 December 2013.

3rd World Survivor artist Cameroonian-born Nabyl 4 Real (Nabstar) shall be performing alongside Nigerian superstar Davido in Antwerp , Belgium on June 14th 2013.
Nabstar just released two cracking songs off his forthcoming LP ""My Survivor Tory 1.1″". ""Confirm"" and ""Bolingo"" are beautifully-honed and entertaining tracks. "Confirm" is definitely a street anthem derived
from the Cameroonian slang ""Confirm"". On ""Bolingo"" , Nabil collaborates with Congolese/Belgian star Joel . Nabstar "s prowess as one of the lyrical giants in Camer Hip Hop is quite evident in these solid Hip Hop joints. Songs produced by Majestro The Beatmaker
Cameroonian hiphop entertainer Nabil4Real hasn't lived up musically to the expectation which surrounded the release of his highly anticipated "The Mix/Lost Tapes of 3rd World Survivors" album. The lead track off that album "Don't forget me" that had sparked excitement when the teaser was made available online is rather underwhelming. Given the increasingly great quality of Cameroonian hiphop videos, the video for this track is to say the least even. Sound-wise, the artist sounds too experimental or should I say fake. All that pidgin rapping with an American accent instead of resonating with fans rather alienates them. This makes it difficult for them to connect with even his message. While some would say
this is what makes him unique it also possible to say that this is the problem with his talent. Is he singing for himself or for people? While hoping he can vindicate himself with another release, see and listen to the "Don't forget me" track right here.
|Comments Off on Nabil4Real disappoints with "Don't forget me" single
Cameroonian hiphop artist Nabil4real has released a teaser. This is for his tract entitled "Don't forget me". After a prolonged absence from the music scene , the artist hereby signals his imminent return. The 40-seconds long video shows a beard-donning Nabstar in various scenes as he does his thing. The release of the full video has been slated for June 30th, 2012. Until then, you can catch a sneak peek right here.

Pokemon GO Could Be Getting a Legendary Event this Summer
Is it finally time?
Pokemon GO has been out in the wild for quite some time now, but there's still no sign of the three legendary bird Pokemon: Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos. However, all of that might change this summer. As reported by Nintendo Everything, Niantic marketing lead Archit Bhargava made a short award acceptance speech at the 21st Annual Webby Awards, where the mobile game won the award for, well, "Best Mobile Game."
Bhargava simply stated: "This summer will be legendary."
It's pretty clear that those words were carefully selected, and given how players have gone nearly a year without any sign of the game's legendary Pokemon, the time seems right for Niantic to finally release them.
The Pokemon GO hype has certainly died down quite a bit now, but the company has been rather diligent in organizing new events for players to engage in, allowing them more opportunities to catch new Pokemon and level up.
Pokemon GO is now available on iOS and Android devices.
