Archery (UEB Uncontracted)
by RnibThis page shows four archery images: a target, part of an arrow, a diagram showing the distance between the archer and the target, and an archer taking aim. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Target (top left) This shows an image of the 1.22-metre target used in the 70-metre Olympic archery event. There are five concentric coloured rings on the target. From the outside in, they are white, black, blue, red and gold (yellow). Each coloured ring is further divided into an inner and outer ring. With the addition of an extra ring at the centre, called the inner ten ring or the x-ring, there are eleven rings in total. Score values range from one for the outer white ring to ten at the gold centre ring. The x-ring also gives a score of ten, but is only used to break ties. Arrow (centre left) This is an image of part of an arrow, the sharp head is not shown. It shows from left to right, the shaft, the fletchings (or vanes), which are like the flights of a dart, and the nock, which has a groove that the bowstring fits into. Archer and target (bottom) The very small archer and target in this image give an idea of the distance that archers shoot in a competition (70 metres in the Olympics). There is an archer at the extreme left of the image taking aim at the target at the far right. Archer taking aim (top right) This is an image of an archer facing to the front with his head facing to the right, holding a bow and arrow. The top of the bow is at the top centre of the image and curves down and right. Then down and to the left, in the top centre of the bow, there is a sight, to help aim the bow and further down a counterweight to stabilise the bow when shooting. They both extend to the right from the bow's riser (handle). The riser hides the archer's hand holding the bow and his arm carries on to the left to join his body where his other hand can be found pulling the bowstring, which extends up and down the page to join the ends of the bow. His head is just up from this hand and his chest and legs, below his hand, carry on down the page to the ground at the bottom.

Bridge yoga posture (UEB Uncontracted)
by Rnib BookshareThis image can only give an insight into what yoga is. It cannot be used alone as a training / user guide. The posture is only one from hundreds of possibilities and cannot be used in isolation. Yoga must be taught with breathing exercises and sequencing of postures. Each posture involves a timed procedure of movement, breathing and focused thought, not a static exercise position. There are three images of a side view of a woman on the floor with her head to the left, feet to the right, separated by two dashed lines on the page. In each image she wears a vest and leggings. There is a locator dot shown which will be in the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The image at the top of the page is the developing full bridge posture.

In the top right of the image the lower leg bends sharply at the knee and goes vertically down to a foot in the bottom right of the image. The image in the middle of the page is the full bridge posture. The hand in the bottom left is flat to the floor pointing to the right. The wrist is bent very sharply and the arm is straight, going up and right. The upper arm obscures most of her face. Her body, facing upwards curves round in an arc to her knees.

The woman's head lies on the floor looking up. Her shoulders and arm are flat on the floor. From her shoulders her body arches slightly going up and right. Her leg bends at ninety degrees at the knee and the lower leg goes vertically down to the foot which points to the right in the bottom right of the image.
