Who is VizX Design Studios?
Backyard remodeling projects have evolved from simply building a deck or adding paver-stone patios. The new demand calls for custom-built Outdoor Living Spaces equipped with ponds, kitchens and water features. Swimming pools are transforming from in ground ovals to pools with edges that seem to fade into the horizon. You want to update your space, but aren't sure of where to turn. The first option used to be consulting your local landscape contractor for help in creating your dream yard. However, what usually results are notes, drawings and hand-sketched designs that potentially lead to misunderstandings and installation disasters.
Why? Because we believe that a great project “Starts with an amazing attention to detail design and finishes with success.” Make an appointment online or the old fashion way by calling us at (855) 781-0725

** Nightlife in Times Square
** The National Mall
** The Capitol, the headquarter of Congress
** Las Vegas : a family destination
** The Venetian Hotel
** The Mirage Hotel
** The Palazzo Hotel
What are the main tourist attractions in the United States?
We begin our journey on the East Coast. New York remains the favourite American destination for tourists, both during the day and night. The dynamism of its nightlife and Times Square musicals are the main attractions of the Big Apple. In Times Square alone, 365,000 people walk through it every day. Finally, the new centre of interest in New York is its two large pools dug in place of the Twin Towers, destroyed on September 11th, 2001. After New York, a rising city is Washington DC. The White House is not the first destination for tourists in this city filled with politics and American history. The attraction listed as number one is the Lincoln Memorial, in the heart of the National Mall, one of the most patriotic places in the country.
Just next to the National Mall, it is worthy to note the listing of the Korean Veterans Memorial. This Memorial is classed well above the Capitol. The Capitol is the headquarters of Congress, composed of the House of Representatives with 448 seats and the Senate with 100 seats.10 years ago, the House of Representatives decided to transform the Capitol into a green building, that was very energy efficient. At the Capitol, every American is invited to feel at home, although many cities have in the past been the capital of the United States before Washington. If you take a guided tour of the Capitol and Washington, you’ll find yourself among the 20 million tourists that travel each year to the federal capital. Washington offers them 29,000 hotel rooms and 1,021 restaurants…
Things are evolving quickly in the United States: For example, the transformation of Las Vegas that has positioned itself less as a gambling capital and more of a family destination with great headliners, luxury shopping, and great gastronomy. Between 2008 and 2014, Las Vegas was on the brink of disaster. The casino crisis compounded the housing crisis. In 2006, Las Vegas had the highest detached new build home rate of the United States. The population had just doubled in 17 years. Brutally the reverse happened, land prices dropped by half, and the number of builds by 5. Unemployment went from 5% to 14%. The city had to completely revamp itself with upwards of about 120 000 tourists a day for a hotel capacity of 140,000 rooms ...
In 2008, visitors who came to discover the volcano facing the Mirage had fallen by 30%; today this volcano is in the gallery at Caesars Palace and it makes a profit while ensuring the promotion of the whole merchant gallery…Las Vegas decided to change its fundamentals and target the upper middle class with its majestic décor between desert and mountains, its abundant water found in the fountains of Caesars Palace, its luxury with the presence of all major retailers ...This is how Las Vegas, which was just a simple ranch one hundred years ago, was able to successfully organise a 2.0 version of itself and its development has allowed its 2 million residents to bounce back with success.
An example of this renewal is The Venetian Hotel. It opened its doors in 1999. It counts 3,036 rooms before an expansion offering 1,013 rooms for a total of 4,049 rooms. Then in 2008, a huge extension of the complex called
The Palazzo was opened. This new hotel offers 3,000 luxury rooms to visitors. With the opening of this extension, the Venetian Palazzo complex was at the beginning of 2008 the biggest hotel in the world, with more than 7,000 rooms; a city within a city. This ensemble belongs to Sheldon Adelson, born in 1933 in Boston who has amassed one of the biggest fortunes in America. In 1991, while he was on honeymoon in Venice, he launched the idea of recreating the canals of Venice in Las Vegas as a new attraction to his new Hotel The Venetian that would take the place of the historical Sands for a total investment of 1.5 billion dollars. He revolutionised the hotel industry of Las Vegas; casino games were no longer the priority.
Las Vegas is served by many international flights but tourists also enjoy stopping off in Los Angeles. The southern California city is less than an hour’s flight away. The first contact with Los Angeles is with LAX airport situated since 1930 in the south of the city. 75 million passengers travel through LAX airport each year.

The Aiken-Rhett House Museum
The Aiken-Rhett House Museum
Charleston, South Carolina-USA
The house descended in the Aiken-Rhett family for 142 years until it was sold to The Charleston Museum and opened to the public in 1975.
Charleston merchant John Robinson built the house in 1820 as a typical Charleston double house. When he lost five ships at sea in 1825, he was forced to sell the house to meet his financial obligations. Subsequently, it became the property of William Aiken Sr. in 1827.
Aiken, an Irish immigrant who had accumulated a large fortune as one of the city’s leading merchants, used the house as a rental property. When he died suddenly in a carriage accident, his vast holdings were divided between his wife, Henrietta Wyatt Aiken, and his only son, William Aiken Jr.
In 1833, the young William Aiken and his new bride, Harriet Lowndes, decided to make the house their primary residence and began an extensive renovation of the property. By all accounts, they created one of the most impressive residences in early 19th-century Charleston.
A successful businessman, rice planter, distinguished politician and governor of South Carolina, William Aiken Jr. was one of the state’s wealthiest citizens. Following a well-established tradition among Charleston’s elite, Governor Aiken and his wife enjoyed an extensive European Grand Tour and returned with magnificent fine art and furnishings for their renovated house. In 1858, while abroad, Governor Aiken commissioned his cousin, Joseph Daniel Aiken, to design and oversee the construction of an art gallery, the only one of its kind in the city. Today, many of the objects acquired by the Aikens on their travels remain in the rooms for which they were purchased.
William Aiken, Jr. died in 1887 at his summer home in Flat Rock, North Carolina. He left his property to his wife and daughter. His wife, Harriet, continued to live in the house until her death in 1892. Her daughter, Henrietta, and son-in-law, Major A.B. Rhett, raised their four sons and one daughter in the house. Upon Henrietta’s death, the house was divided between her children and their heirs. Two sons, I’On Rhett and Andrew Burnet Rhett, Jr. continued to live in the house until the mid-twentieth century.
O Museu da Casa Aiken-Rhett
A casa pertenceu à família Aiken-Rhett por 142 anos, até que foi vendida para o Museu Charleston, na Carolina do Sul e aberta ao público em 1975.
O comerciante de Charleston, John Robinson, construiu a casa em 1820 como uma típica casa dupla de Charleston. Quando ele perdeu cinco navios em uma tempestade marítima em 1825, foi forçado a vender a casa para cumprir suas obrigações financeiras. Posteriormente, a casa tornou-se propriedade de William Aiken Sr. em 1827.
Aiken, foi um imigrante irlandês que acumulou uma grande fortuna como um dos principais comerciantes da cidade de Charleston. Quando ele morreu repentinamente em um acidente, suas vastas propriedades foram divididas entre sua esposa, Henrietta Wyatt Aiken, e seu único filho, William Aiken Jr.
Em 1833, o jovem William Aiken e sua noiva, Harriet Lowndes, decidiram fazer da casa sua residência principal e iniciaram uma extensa reforma da propriedade. Ao final das obras, a casa se transformou em uma das residências mais impressionantes do início do século XIX em Charleston, e uma das mais valiosas nos Estados Unidos.
Um empresário de sucesso, plantador de arroz(Chamado na época de O Ouro Branco) político e governador ilustre da Carolina do Sul, William Aiken Jr. era um dos cidadãos mais ricos do Estado da Carolina do Sul. Seguindo uma tradição bem estabelecida entre a elite de Charleston, o Governador Aiken e sua esposa, desfrutaram de uma grande turnê européia onde compraram, em leilões e museus, belas artes e móveis magníficos para a casa reformada. Em 1858, enquanto estava no exterior, o Governador Aiken encomendou seu primo, Joseph Daniel Aiken, para projetar e supervisionar a construção de uma galeria de arte, a única desse tipo na cidade. Hoje, muitos dos objetos adquiridos pelos Aikens em suas viagens, permanecem nos quartos da Grande Mansão da familia.
William Aiken Jr. morreu em 1887 em sua casa de verão em Flat Rock, na Carolina do Norte. Ele deixou sua propriedade para sua esposa e filha. Sua esposa, Harriet, continuou morando na casa até sua morte em 1892. Sua filha, Henrietta, e genro, o Major A.B. Rhett, criou seus quatro filhos e uma filha nesta casa. Após a morte de Henrietta, a casa foi dividida entre seus filhos e seus herdeiros. Os filhos Rhett e Andrew Burnet Rhett, Jr. continuaram morando na casa até meados do século XX.
David Adjaye: Place, Identity, and Transformation | Talks at Google
Sir David Adjaye OBE is recognized as a leading architect of his generation. He was recently knighted by Her Majesty the Queen for services to Architecture and awarded an OBE in 2007. Adjaye was born in Tanzania and his influences range from contemporary art, music and science to African art forms and the civic life of cities. He reformed his studio Adjaye Associates which has offices in London, New York and completed work in Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
Two of the practice’s largest commissions to date are the design of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African American History and Culture on the National Mall in Washington D.C. and the Moscow School of Management (SKOLKOVO). In Oslo he designed the Nobel Peace Centre in the shell of a disused railway station. In London his design for the Whitechapel Idea Store pioneered a new approach to the provision of information services. The practice has also completed a social housing scheme in New York’s Sugar Hill (2014) and The Ethelbert Cooper Gallery of African & African American Art at Harvard’s Hutchins Center (2014), and is currently working on the new home for The Studio Museum in Harlem (ongoing).
Adjaye Associates believes that architecture presents opportunities for transformation – materially, conceptually and sociologically. Driven by the desire to enrich and improve daily life, the practice’s buildings are designed to meet the diverse needs of the communities they serve. Inspiration is drawn from many influences around the world and the work clearly articulates this enthusiasm for issues of place and identity.

The 2019 Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards
The Anisfield-Wolf Awards recognize books that have made important contributions to our understanding of racism and human diversity. For 84 years, the distinguished books earning Anisfield-Wolf prizes have opened and challenged our minds. Cleveland poet and philanthropist Edith Anisfield Wolf established the book awards in 1935, in honor of her father, John Anisfield, and husband, Eugene Wolf, to reflect her family’s passion for social justice. Presented by the Cleveland Foundation, it remains the only American book prize focusing on works that address racism and diversity.
The awards ceremony was held on Thursday, September 26, 2019, in the KeyBank State Theatre of Playhouse Square in downtown Cleveland.
ch 9) Slavery Without Submission, Emancipation Without Freedom
chapter 9: A People's History (Of The United States) Howard Zinn.
~
Chapter 9, Slavery Without Submission, Emancipation Without Freedom addresses slave rebellions, the abolition movement, the Civil War, and the effect of these events on African-Americans. Zinn writes that the large-scale violence of the war was used to end slavery instead of the small-scale violence of the rebellions because the latter may have expanded beyond anti-slavery, resulting in a movement against the capitalist system. He writes that the war could limit the freedom granted to African-Americans by allowing the government control over how that freedom was gained.

ACS presents Constitution Day: The Framers and the Making of the Constitution with Professor Klarman
In commemoration of Constitution Day, Harvard Law School Professor Michael Klarman, an expert on constitutional law and constitutional history, delivered a talk titled “The Framers and the Making of the Constitution,” which outlined the ways the framers managed to convince Americans, through a reasonably democratic process, to approve a Constitution that vastly expanded the powers of the federal government and insulated it from populist political pressures.
Conversation on the Omar Ibn Said Collection
Scholars discussed the autobiography of Omar Ibn Said, the only known autobiography by a slave written in Arabic in the United States. It is a historically unique and important primary source for those trying to understand the connections between the Muslim communities in Western Africa and the slaves who continued to practice Islamic faith after being captured during the Atlantic slave trade.
