Best Actress nominee Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married, Alice In Wonderland), fresh from filming one of this year’s most anticipated films, The Dark Knight Rises, lends her voice to this uniquely American fairy tale. Follow the adventures of young Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto as they get swept away into the magical land of Oz , where they encounter characters and places you may remember from the movie — and several more that never made it to the big screen — on an unforgettable journey to the Emerald City. “It’s such a wonderful book and I was so happy to be a part of bringing it to life”, Ms. Hathaway said. “There are a lot of great voices in it. The more fun you have with it, the sillier and the more free you get with it, the better it is because it’s a story that can handle it. It’s amazing to be able to discover something new about something you feel you know so well.” The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is part of Audible’s A-List Collection, featuring the world’s most celebrated actors narrating distinguished works of literature that each star helped select.

Technology in Support of Graceful Aging Ronald Baecker Professor, University of Toronto November 4, 2011 Abstract The percentage of senior citizens worldwide continues to grow. In response to this demographic, our research aims to envision, prototype, design, build, evaluate, and sometimes commercialize powerful and flexible electronic aids to support graceful aging. Unlike technology for seniors that is designed for remote monitoring, problem detection, and intelligent assistance, our aim is to empower older adults and their families to help themselves. TAGlab conducts “research for the journey through life.” We choose projects that respond to human needs as characterized by Abraham Maslow. Maslow speaks of the following levels of needs: physiological, safety, love/ belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. Our work is primarily at the top three levels. We shall begin at top-level by reporting on projects that employ multimedia and other lifelogging technologies to help individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment be better able to remember and reminisce about experiences over a lifetime or about recent events and activities. Other projects seek to enhance seniors’ autonomy and esteem. MyVoice, recently launched as a company, is a context-aware mobile app that aids individuals with aphasia and children with learning challenges to recall words and to speak. Tangra, a response to the wave of interest in brain fitness games and exercises, acilitates …

He has lived in San Francisco since 1959 ART HIGHLIGHTS 1969: “One Second Sculpture” 1970: “The Act of Drinking Beer with Friends is the “Highest form of Art” 1970: Founded the Museum of Conceptual Art (MOCA). Closed in 1984 1975: Editor/Designer Vision Magazine 2000: Founded The Society of Independent Artists BIOGRAPHY In 1969, as an art action, Tom Marioni released a tightly coiled metal tape measure into the air. The instrument started out as a circle, then opened up and created a loud sound as it made a drawing in space, and finally fell to the ground as a line. The work was titled One Second Sculpture, and it demonstrated several principles of Conceptual Art. This type of art was new at the time but has now become a major influence on artists and on our society. A principle demonstrated by “One Second Sculpture” is that duration can be an element in art. Another is that the lasting form of an artwork is created and later re-created in the viewer’s mind. And a third principle is that elements other than the visual (in this case, sound) may be part of the form of an artwork. Conceptual Art extended and expanded traditional art approaches in unprecedented ways. For example …

Do you love those vintage Penguin books? Have you seen the countless several hundred dollar remakes of these paintings online and in stores? Here’s a version of a large scale Vintage Penguin Book on canvas that costs less than to make. This book cover requires that you print out assets, which are available at beinggeekchic.com (Full step by step instructions are also available there!) The version I painted is 30×40 inches, however, you could scale those assets up or down for the right size painting.
