Upward (Kandinsky)
''Upward'' (German: ''Empor'') is an oil on cardboard painting created in 1929 by the Russian abstract painter Wassily Kandinsky. Painted at a time when Kandinsky was teaching art at the Bauhaus in Dessau, Germany, it now forms part of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, Venice, Italy. Description The painting depicts a set of geometric shapes assembled to suggest upward rising energy. In both the base of the central motif and in the upper right hand corner can be seen the capital letter E, possibly representing the initial letter of the painting's German name ''Empor''. A dot and horizontal line in the main semicircle suggest a human face; preparatory drawings indicate that these were late additions. The painting is reminiscent of the style of Paul Klee, who was Kandinsky's friend and colleague at the Bauhaus.

Critical reception Jon Dolan of '' Spin'' said, "Ty is most reminiscent of robo-voiced Brit MCs like Roots Manuva, and his turtleneck-rocking look suggests a dude too arty to party, but his mix of neo-soul warmth, skip-rope beats, and clever rhymes smoothes out his raggafied rough edges."

Upward Bound
Upward Bound is a federally funded educational program within the United States. The program is one of a cluster of programs now referred to as TRiO, all of which owe their existence to the federal Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 (the War on Poverty Program) and the Higher Education Act of 1965. Upward Bound programs are implemented and monitored by the United States Department of Education. The goal of Upward Bound is to provide certain categories of high school students better opportunities for attending college. The categories of greatest concern are those with low income, those with parents who did not attend college, and those living in rural areas. The program works through individual grants, each of which covers a restricted geographic area and provides services to approximately 59,000 students annually. The program focuses on academic and nonacademic resources and activities like visits to museums or tutoring for school work. Students are encouraged to be involved in ...

Upward (military Project)
UPWARD was the code name, within the National Reconnaissance Office's Byeman Control System, for assistance given to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) during Project Apollo. The camera designed to survey the lunar surface was a modification of the GAMBIT design and utilized a 1.5 inch focal length camera for a terrain mapping apparatus. This camera system was present on both the CORONA and GAMBIT survey systems. The NRO and NASA had multiple meetings discussing the required technology for Lunar Mapping. Specifically, the NASA Apollo Applicant Working Group (dated on 6-9 Dec 1966) considered the following optical sensors: * A camera from the unmanned lunar orbiter * 12-inch focal length panoramic camera * The multi-spectral experiment reviewed earlier by the Department of Defense * 6-inch focal length mapping camera * Telescope using Questar lens (56-inch focal length) and with simplified tracking and focusing device * An imaging radar In a following meetin ...
