OK so you have your hair styled the way you want after towel drying and adding a little product (gel, cream, whatever) and just want to put it all into place with a little finishing spray. What is the best light and totally natural looking spray that still holds (and dries quickly), but doesn't get crusty once it dries. Also if you later brush it out, your hair doesn't get frizzy. Is it just a matter of products with no alcohol in the spray?

In Switzerland, preparations for celebrating the national holiday are in full swing! It commemorates the "Letter of Alliance" signed by Switzerland's three original cantons in 1291.
August 1st was celebrated for the first time in 1891, and since 1994 it has been deemed an official holiday. All over the country festive events take place including speeches by prominent public figures followed by firework displays. Since the drought and heat in the summer of 2018, many places have decided to do without bonfires and fireworks.
Many people decorate their homes with national, cantonal and community flags. In most places it is mandatory to decorate public buildings, streets and town squares with flags. Prayers are said for the people and the fatherland, the national anthem (the Swiss Psalm) is sung and bells are rung. Some people wear their traditional costumes, and everywhere Swiss folk music can be heard. At dusk, children carry lighted paper lanterns through the streets. All over Switzerland, church bells ring out at 8 pm for a quarter of an hour. Many other customs vary from place to place.
Most Swiss people are proud of their country which is blessed with a wonderful and diverse natural environment, prosperity, a low unemployment rate, a well-functioning economy and is governed by direct democracy. Solidarity is important to many people, and they are generous in their support when an emergency arises. The Helimission foundation was founded on this sound and healthy fundament in 1971, and they can look back gratefully on almost 50 years of existence.
Mount Säntis is the highest mountain in the Alpstein region of northeastern Switzerland at 8,209 feet. Since 2009, the weather and the state of the flag permitting, it has been decorated with the world's largest Swiss flag for the national holiday. Fourteen professional climbers take several hours to erect the 80m x 80m (262 x 262 ft.) and 700 kg (1543 lbs.) flag at these dizzy heights on the steep rock face. When the weather is good, the flag can be seen in half of eastern Switzerland.

Needless to say, I am captivated by my father's charm, wisdom and, above all, his resourcefulness.
Father Zoltan-Zolly was born to a poor family in Slovakia. He was the oldest of his seven brothers. After four years in elementary school, he was obliged to contribute to the support of the family. The rest of his wisdom was acquired in the "street". My father was gifted with an inquiring, creative, resourceful mind, characteristics that are my guiding light to this day.
Father survived the hell of Sachsenhausen concentration camp by his split second decision to change shirts with a political prisoner who had died next to him. From then on his life changed and he was no longer regarded as a Jew. He must have taken into account the fact that they did not tattoo numbers on the prisoners' arms there, as in other camps. Political prisoners were marked by a red triangle and Jews by a yellow triangle. I regarded my father as someone courageous and strong on whom I could lean. Indeed, he came back broken, the shadow of a man, yet for the rest of his days he fixed his gaze ahead, as if propelled by a tailwind. We again had a head of family, concerned for the welfare of his wife and two daughters. Over the four years following his liberation he managed to establish a regional shopping centre on the lines of ACE. He became a hedonist, with a car and chauffeur, workers, a secretary, food and more food so that it is no wonder he became plump. We, his daughters, received the most modern bicycles when he returned from the Prague Fair. My thirteen-year-old sister Aliska and myself, aged nine, were immensely proud of those bicycles.
Father was very generous, an observation that was not only mine, but was prevalent among the new immigrants who came to Nahariya when he was already established. When he died, many of them told me how much help they had received from him. Not only encouragement, but his signature on bank guarantees and giving cash loans, which were always repaid.
I admired him for all he did, never judged him even when, in 1949, he did not accompany us to Israel, but stayed behind to wind up his business. At first we received a few letters from him, promising to come soon. Then the contact ended for a long time.
We learned the reasons for this only when he finally joined us with empty pockets. It emerged that Father was sentenced to prison for "incitement to Zionism and other felonies" fabricated by the Communist regime. The accusation concerning incitement to Zionism was not a complete exaggeration. The existential reality created in Trebisov, near the Hungarian border, was that very few of the town's Jews came back after the war. The Jewish community numbered some twenty or thirty people and my father, who was not religious, but was regarded as having some influence in the town institutions, was elected "Community Head". I remember how, in the small hours of the night, the local police used to phone him: "Mr. Meisels, we have again caught Jews crossing the border with Hungary." In such cases, he answered, "I'm coming," and immediately went to the police station, paid what he paid and brought the Jews home with him. I don't know if he received the money from some organization, or if he paid the bribes from his own pocket. Anyway, on the following morning the people took the train to Bratislava, where their contact was waiting to send them on the next stage of their journey to Israel. It is possible that these details were on the charge sheet when he was arrested. After a long time in jail, he was tried in the Bratislava District Court and sentenced to seven years in prison. After the trial, when he was being led by two secret policemen along the streets of Bratislava, he broke away and shot through the crowd like a rocket. I remembered him as fat, I find it hard to imagine him running and running until he came to the wall of a church, climbed over it and ran into the church. The priest, seeing him pale and puffing, took pity on him and hid him. I have been told that they searched for him throughout the city and even announced his escape on the radio. He hid in Slovakia for a long time until he grew a thick beard to look as a Rabbi. As mentioned, we were not religious and Father didn't even know how to pray properly. Eventually, he contacted a group that smuggled Jews towards Austria, where he was caught. This time, posing as a rabbi from Budapest (he knew Hungarian) and swaying like a willow branch, he pleaded not to be sent back to Hungary, since all he desired was to die in the Holy Land. They were persuaded and they agreed. They transferred him to Austria and there, in Vienna, he contacted the Jewish Agency who helped him to reach us.
In Israel, he started to work as an iron bender on a building site and, after a while, opened a bicycle repair workshop that eventually became a shop that is famous throughout Western Galilee to this day.
My father died without prior notice. And who notifies in advance that he is going to die suddenly of a heart attack? But for me, Father was solid, healthy, not one of those with a cold or other complaints. I never saw him lying sick in bed in pajamas. I had so many plans I wanted to carry out around him. I didn't get to ask him about the concentration camps where he was imprisoned, I always put off having that conversation. Suddenly, when he was only sixty, I was called to Nahariya – Father had a heart attack and died. Unbearably orphaned. My big blunder. I had hardly tasted his wisdom, I hadn't even reached the main course and as far as dessert is concerned, there's no point even in dreaming. But I feel his encouraging spirit at my back and my loss of him in my heart.

"Backlink Packages"
DFY's backlink packages are a combination of different links, set up in a way that will not only save you money but also get you great results. We will often use these same packages on our agency's client sites.
Our link buikding packages make buying backlinks easy and affordable, we even offer monthly rolling subscriptions so you can nearly set and forget with your own personal or client sites. All our backlink packages are put together in a way that we would link build for one of our own client's sites, for example the foundation package is what we will often use when building out our own affiliate site as it gives you a nice base to continue link building from. With all of our SEO Backlink Packages we are happy to advise on anchor text selection, even if your order does not reach the usually required $1,500. If you are using a subscription package we will put a longer term plan in place although it is very flexible as we like to see how your site reacts to the first set of links.
If you or your clients prefer to be more whitehat we are able to offer packages which utilise "cleaner" backlink sources such as guest posts. Although, we have never had any issues with niche edits personally we understand that some people have preferences. If you have any other special preferences, please let us know before ordering so we can confirm whether we are able to fulfil this request.
Most of our backlinks are broken down by Ahref's domain rating metric, if you are unsure how many backlinks you should build feel free to contact us and one of our advisors will help estimate based on the competition. Although, until we begin link building is it very hard to guess as there are so many other factors with SEO.
Looking for a link building package?
Our team have put specialized link building packages together for you on our site at discounted rates on the usual retail pricing. However, if you're looking for a more custom solution and have a minimum budget of $1,500 then we can help put some together for you, just use the contact form above.
These backlink packages will give you a safe, affordable and most importantly highly effective ranking solution for every possible SEO scenario you may encounter. Our team are always on hand to give you expert advice whenever you need it and our site is filled with link building resources.
What do you need to know about our links?
All of our niche placements and guest posts are from real sites, not a link network. All of our guest posts have a minimum of an estimated 1,000 traffic. All of our links are guaranteed for 6 months minimum, if a link drops off (even if it's because a site has shut down) we will happily replace the link for you.
Our average turn around time from the date of anchor confirmation is 4 weeks, we do try to be quicker where possible but due to the nature of backlink building there can sometimes be delays but we try to make you aware of this before where possible.
If you are unhappy with any placements our team is happy to take a look and try to resolve the issue for you, this isn't something that happens often and is resolved very quickly.
Do you have samples?
I understand that people want samples before ordering and where possible we will try to accommodate but to try ensure the privacy of our clients we try not to share any link placements and would instead advise you to do a trial order. Again, if you aren't happy with the link we will do everything we can to resolve the issue.
Who are DFY links and why should you trust us?
DFY links was up until recently a private members link service which has now been made public. We had been running for over a year only working with large agencies and affiliate SEOs but we saw there was a gap in the market for reliable, consistent link providers.
All of the links that are used by you are sites that we would and often have, used on our own sites. We feel like if we wouldn't trust it on our sites, why would we expect you to?
Our most popular backlinks are our niche edits followed by guest posts, we are slowly rolling out all the links we can offer to make sure that we can keep up with demand (we have plenty of inventory but we want to try make sure we stay on top of customer service as well).

NFL Pro Football Sports Betting 2016 Odds to Win NFC East Division
With the start of training camp just a few weeks away it is a good time to check out the NFL odds to win the NFL East division. The Cowboys surprised many with their outstanding regular season record. Question is can the Redskins, Giants and Eagles get closer to Dallas in the standings.
Bet the NFL this season at Oddsmaker sportsbook, where bettors can now claim their Free 100% Bonus up to $1000. Sign up today and get into the excitement of watching and wagering on your favorite NFL pro football team!
The current odds at Oddsmaker, where the bonuses are the best in the business have the Dallas Cowboys the +125 odds favorites to win the NFC East division. Dallas compiled a 13-3 regular season record. Tony Romo suffered an injury in the preseason so it was rookie Dak Prescott earning the starting job with his good work in relief. This sent Tony Romo into retirement. Dallas had the best offensive line in the NFL and rookie Ezekiel Elliot rushed for 1631 yards. Prescott completed 67.8% of his throws with 23 touchdowns and 4 picks. In the NFC Championship, the Cowboys defense struggled making stops on quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers weapons in the passing game. Dallas must replace offensive lineman Doug Free and two starters from their secondary. Dallas was 26th against the pass last year.
The Giants are second favorite in the betting at +230 odds. New York beat Dallas twice in their NFC East regular season meetings. They finished with a 11-5 record as they saw the play of their defense improve. The Giants were second in the NFL in points allowed at just 17.8 per game. A concern is the arm strength for veteran quarterback Eli Manning who many see on the decline.
Third in the wagering are the Philadelphia Eagles lined at +330 odds. The Eagles were last in the NFC East in 2016 with a mark of 7-9. Doug Pederson returns for his second year with the team which saw improvement in the play of their defense. Carson Wentz enters his second year as the starting quarterback. In his rookie campaign, Wentz completed 62.4% of his passes for 3792 yards with 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
The longshots to win the NFC East division is the Washington Redskins at +475 odds. Washington 8-7-1 a season ago which was third in the division. Their offense moved the football behind quarterback Kirk Cousins. Redskins defense was 28th in the league allowing 378 yards per game.

By the time World War II broke out, China had been at war for almost 100 years. In 1840, British colonists began the first Opium War. China had made treaties to end fighting with Japanese troops, but in 1931 they invade Manchuria in northern China.
Imperial China had a more than 1,000-year history, with a highly developed society. Unlike Japan, China did not open its borders and modernize in the 18th and 19th centuries. By 1931, numerous European countries had international settlements in China and Japanese troops occupied land through unequal treaties.
In September 1931, Japanese troops invaded Manchuria and quickly took control of the region. The war claimed huge causalities and reshaped China's landscapes and society. At the time of the invasion, China was a rural agrarian society in which the vast space left citizens isolated from the outside world.
Japan and China had already fought a war from 1894 to 1895, which was called the First Sino-Japanese War. The Chinese dynasty fell at the end of the war, which caused decades of unrest as new governments attempted to form.
Tensions grew between the Nationalists Party under Chiang Kai-shek and the Communist Party. After armed conflicts, the Communist Party retreated to a remote part of China to rebuild its army. They settled in Yan'an as Mao Zedong was coming to power as a leader within the party.
The Chinese Nationalists and Communists were forced to work together to resist Japan. Japanese troops were moving out of Manchuria and further into China. The united Chinese forces began fighting the Japanese troops.
The united Chinese forces and Japanese forces met at the Marco Polo Bridge in Peking in July 1937. Fighting broke out, which marked the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War. China was outgunned but attempted to use the size of the country to its advantage.
The Nine Power Treaty Conference met to discuss the situation in China, while Fascism was rising in Germany and Italy and Spain was caught in a civil war. Shanghai and the Chinese capital of Nanking fell to the Japanese. More than 300,000 civilians were killed by the Japanese troops in Nanking.
Japan was a small and still emerging nation in the 1930s. The military used terror, bombings, and atrocities to force the Chinese into submission or peace talks. Mao established the Communist Party's tactics and advocated for guerrilla warfare to secure small areas throughout the country.
Mao's plans for guerrilla warfare began to work. The size of the army and the land they controlled grew significantly. Mao accurately predicted that Japan could only occupy large cities and was quickly defeated in rural areas.
Chiang moved the seat of the Nationalist government numerous times to avoid Japanese troops. Mao's forces began using strategic stalemates as war seemed closer in Europe. Communist guerrilla troops and volunteer Soviet pilots helped defend the capital.

At the end of what the Chinese call "a hundred years of humiliation", The War That Changed The World: Part 1 witnesses Japanese troops, stationed in northern China under unequal treaties, launch an invasion of the region of China known as Manchuria. This invasion triggers Mao Zedong's long march, establishing a base in Yan'an.

Communicators help YWAM celebrate 50 years
In case you missed it, YWAM is celebrating 50 years of missions work this year! Throughout the year there are special events being held in every region of the world, giving YWAM staff, students, alumni and supporters the opportunity to look back on the milestones of the last half-century and give thanks for all that has been accomplished.
Everywhere where there is a Com Team, the members of those teams are taking this great opportunity to support their YWAM community at these events. Some are offering their practical skills to help make the celebrations run smoothly through taking care of all the technical details of showing video, maintaining good quality sound and even producing name-tags. In other places - such as in Uganda next month - Com Team members will be producing a photographic time-line of YWAM's story in their region and producing other visual pieces to help celebrate 50 years of missionary endeavour.
Here in Cape Town our team has been working on a commemorative magazine of YWAM's history in Africa. It has been an incredible project, with more contributors than any other project we have undertaken. The willingness of so many people to get involved means that we have successfully produced the very first compilation of YWAM's story on this continent ever! From design, to photos, to stories, to translation in French and Portuguese, to printing and mailing - everything has been done in partnership with very special people from around the world. Today boxes of those magazines are being mailed from India, where they were printed, to YWAM centres around Africa. At every 50th celebration in Africa YWAM staff will receive complimentary copies of the magazine.
We are thrilled to give these special gifts to the unsung heroes out there - Jo or Jenny YWAMer, giving their time and their energies to see sustainable change come to their communities. As they read the stories of those who have gone before them, may they be strengthened to persevere.
After all, we are not only celebrating what has passed ... we are eagerly anticipating what is still to come!

A Venn diagram, sometimes referred to as a set diagram, is a diagramming style used to show all the possible logical relations between a finite amount of sets. In mathematical terms, a set is a collection of distinct objects gathered together into a group, which can then itself be termed as a single object. Venn diagrams represent these objects on a page as circles or ellipses, and their placement in relation to each other describes the relationships between them. Commonly a Venn diagram will compare two sets with each other. In such a case, two circles will be used to represent the two sets, and they are placed on the page in such a way as that there is an overlap between them. This overlap, known as the intersection, represents the connection between sets - if for example the sets are mammals and sea life, then the intersection will be marine mammals, e.g. dolphins or whales. Each set is taken to contain every instance possible of its class; everything outside the union of sets (union is the term for the combined scope of all sets and intersections) is implicitly not any of those things - not a mammal, does not live underwater, etc.
Logician John Venn developed the Venn diagram in complement to Eulers concept. His diagram rules were more rigid than Eulers - each set must show its connection with all other sets within the union, even if no objects fall into this category. This is why Venn diagrams often only contain 2 or 3 sets, any more and the diagram can lose its symmetry and become overly complex. Venn made allowances for this by trading circles for ellipses and arcs, ensuring all connections are accounted for whilst maintaining the aesthetic of the diagram.
Euler diagrams are similar to Venn diagrams, in that both compare distinct sets using logical connections. Where they differ is that a Venn diagram is bound to show every possible intersection between sets, whether objects fall into that class or not; a Euler diagram only shows actually possible intersections within the given context. Sets can exist entirely within another, termed as a subset, or as a separate circle on the page without any connections - this is known as a disjoint. Furthering the example outlined previously, if a new set was introduced - birds - this would be shown as a circle entirely within the confines of the mammals set (but not overlapping sea life). A fourth set of trees would be a disjoint - a circle without any connections or intersections.
Usage for Venn diagrams has evolved somewhat since their inception. Both Euler and Venn diagrams were used to logically and visually frame a philosophical concept, taking phrases such as some of x is y, all of y is z and condensing that information into a diagram that can be summarized at a glance. They are used in, and indeed were formed as an extension of, set theory - a branch of mathematical logic that can describe objects relations through algebraic equation. Now the Venn diagram is so ubiquitous and well ingrained a concept that you can see its use far outside mathematical confines. The form is so recognizable that it can shown through mediums such as advertising or news broadcast and the meaning will immediately be understood. They are used extensively in teaching environments - their generic functionality can apply to any subject and focus on my facet of it. Whether creating a business presentation, collating marketing data, or just visualizing a strategic concept, the Venn diagram is a quick, functional, and effective way of exploring logical relationships within a context.
The structure of this humble diagram was formally developed by the mathematician John Venn, but its roots go back as far as the 13th Century, and includes many stages of evolution dictated by a number of noted logicians and philosophers. The earliest indications of similar diagram theory came from the writer Ramon Llull, whos initial work would later inspire the German polymath Leibnez. Leibnez was exploring early ideas regarding computational sciences and diagrammatic reasoning, using a style of diagram that would eventually be formalized by another famous mathematician. This was Leonhard Euler, the creator of the Euler diagram.

Islamabad: Pakistan, under tremendous pressure to curb out terrorism and terrorist activities based in its territory, will conduct the trial of Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi on a day to day basis. Lakhvi, has been alleged as the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
The Islamabad High Court, whose earlier order for conditional release of Lakhvi raised the hackles of India, said that the hearing in the trial would be held on daily basis.
The court's ruling came on a request from prosecutor Chaudhry Azhar, who said,"This case is crucial. The world's eyes are on this case. Therefore, it should be heard daily by IHC." The hearing in the case will commence Friday. The trial, being conducted by Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), has seen much flip-flop in recent months.

Because of this issue, "It takes a village", "Healthcare Reform debacle" and other "scandals" where when people found out how Hillary truly thought or did business, the public didn't like her. Hillary learned from that to be more duplicitous (hide her true beliefs from the voters), to quote:
That two-faced aspect of her persona, lead to more distrust by the informed. Those who payed attention KNEW she was lying to them, or at least concealing her true beliefs. And they also knew she was far more left wing than the skin of a moderate she wore like a cheap pantsuit, because whenever she slipped and let out who she was, it wasn't every more centrist than people thought. more...

How to Connect N3FJP software to FLDigi
For contests other than Field Day, there are some things you should be aware of and do to N3FJP software and FLDigi before you can use them together.
The steps are:
1. Connect your sound card and turn it on.
2. Bring up the correct N3FJP program and be sure that the following is set. Under Setup some of the contests like NAQP have a "REQUIRED" section. This section configures the N3FJP logger for4 the par4ticular contest. For example, NAQP has a place in setup for the following: see below
You need to setup the State, The name you send and the transmitter ID you send. Also you need to set the type of contest that it is. In the example above, RTTY is selected. If this is not set correctly, N3FJP will reject the entry from FLDigi and give you a message that the mode is incorrect. It will log the contact, but the log will have the wrong mode.
The next thing to check is the Application Program Interface (API) interface. Be sure it is turned on and set as below:
This is what FLDigi connects to in order to transfer the information. If it is not set correctly the transfer will fail.
Now that N3FJP is set up correctly, minimize it. DO NOT CLOSE IT. It must be open while you are using FLdigi. It is the first thing you open and the last thing you close.
3. Now open FLDigi. It shouldn't matter what other programs that you have FLDigi set up to open. At this point we are going to set FLDigi to log to N3FJP.
First we need to set up the Contest/Logging on the pull down menu. Click Configure > N3FJP logs from this menu. It should look like this:
Be sure you have the connect box checked. Once it is checked, it may take a few moments to actually connect. When you get green in the diamond below the check box you may click on Save and then Close.
The next thing you have to do is set FLDigi for the contest. This is critical. Click Configure > Contest. The screen must be set up this way:
You can opt to leave the single click to capture Rx word unchecked if you like.
The next thing to is to configure the radio mode. This has to be USB regardless of the actual mode you are running. This is located under the frequency display. Finally select the Op-Mode from the pull down menu.
Now you are ready to go. I recommend that you test everything first. To do this, in NAQP, send a call sign, name, and state. then transfer them.
Click on the name and call
Now you need the State. to transfer this, right click on the state and select state from the drop down list.
Once that is done you can click on the Save icon, the one above the 3 in KA3PMW in the above screen shot, and that should send everything ti N3FJP and clear the fields. If it fails the fields will not be cleared.
Be sure to go to N3FJP and delete your test before the contest.

19th Century Philosophical Toys and Experimental Amusement
After its introduction in 1838, the stereoscope very quickly became a Victorian amusement, joining a class of "philosophical toys" that provided entertainment through illustrated scientific principles (Silverman 730). Robert Silverman uses the words of Robert Hunt, a British nineteenth century photographic chemist to capture this phenomenon, "The stereoscope is now seen in every drawing room; philosophers talk learnedly upon it, ladies are de-lighted with its magic representations, and children play with it (Silverman 730)." Newspapers and magazines excited "curiosity in their dazzling spectacles" (Silverman 731). These philosophical toys were designed for "the experimental study of natural phenomena, but they could provide amusement, too" (Wade 105). Nicholas Wade examines the relationship between visual art and visual science through the application of early nineteenth century "novel devices" (Wade 102). As Wade describes, these philosophical toys "were usually based on simple optical or visual principles that were expressed in novel ways. Wade looks to the camera, as the first philosophical toy since it was applied to art and science and was "used to capture visual angles by artists, and it was adopted as tool by scientists" (Wade 104). These experiments were toys because they were both adapted for amusement and adopted by the public at large (Wade 108).
Charles Wheatstone and his 1938 Stereoscope
In 1838, Sir Charles Wheatstone published his "Contributions to the Physiology of Vision" where he proposed that the mind registers visual space by combining information from a pair of two-dimensional, monocular pictures, what he called "the interocular discrepancy for binocular space perception" (Silverman 729). Wheatstone was the first to propose that the cognition of visual space was achieved by combining information from a pair of two-dimensional, monocular images (Silverman 729). Wheatstone further tested these ideas in an apparatus that he called the stereoscope. Two mirrors were mounted in a right angle in order to present the reflection of a one perspective drawing to each eye, thus creating a single perception of three-dimensions. Each eye sees a different picture of the same thing, but we perceive one (Holmes 4). Through the stereoscope, surfaces look solid. While there were other techniques that also achieve solidarity, as Oliver Holmes notes, "by this instrument that effect is so heightened as to produce an appearance of reality which cheats the senses with its seeming truth" (4).
The stereoscope simulated depth. Through it, Wheatstone analyzed the factors related to the perception of an approaching object: increases in retinal image size, retinal disparity, convergence and accommodation (Wade 118). Several methods for combining stereo-pairs were introduced. David Brewster's lenticular version used lenses divided in two. Wheatstone also explored the manipulation of retinal disparity in his pseudoscope, which reversed them. Helmholtz's telestereoscope exaggerated retinol disparities. There was also the anaglyph method that used overprinted red and green images. Through the stereoscope "the perception of three-dimensional space and apparent motion could be investigated using the tried and tested methods of physics." Their combination with photographic images gave them enormous popular appeal (Wade 121).
From the Stereoscope and Beyond
Its ability to achieve the illusion of three-dimensionality in photographs and drawings made the stereoscope well suited for exploration of geographies. Simulations could not only present a copy of a physical site, they could reproduce the "experience of travel through illusion" (Stakelon 408). Travel and foreign landscape were consistent themes in stereoviews and the slides themselves were meant to evoke the feeling of movement through space (Stakelon 408). Pauline Stakelon describes these movement citing that, "between the frames, movement from one stereoview to the next becomes another way of experiencing travel and creating a narrative (Stakelon 408)." Because the stereoscope relies on the viewing subjects themselves to create the illusion, the viewer sees an image "that does not exist in outside reality, but rather internally (Stakelon 408)."
The project seeks to explore the fundamental exploitation of monocular images to achieve spatial illusion has potential not just as a physical and optical phenomenon but also as a conceptual apparatus for the play between distinct perspectives that together yield a greater depth of experience. Together, the body, the viewing device, and the images create a system of relationships that engage notions of embodiment, illusion, perception and representation. I would like work with a physical device and a series of shifting digital images to exploit the principles of stereoview to engage shifting perspectives on materiality (solidness) and "the real". Engaging Dunne and Raby's process of speculative design, the project seeks to imagine a stereoscope of the future that engages the possibility of building the dimensionality of experience through multiple images of the same subject, leveraging multiple perspectives.
Idea A / I am one of many who have been here
Stakelon ends with the assertion that "regardless of media specificity, these devices continually reconstruct the idea of what it means to travel through the world" (420). This first idea seeks to examine this further. Using the geolocation of a person (through the device), images of the same location are layered one on top of the other creating a composite image of the specific location that that person occupies. Oliver Holmes posits that the primary focus of these stereoviews is the representation of three-dimensional form, a point with which Pauline Stakelon agrees (Stakelon 411). What if the focus shifts from a sense of dimensionality that is "realistic" to one that attempts to capture the collective experience of a place?
Idea B / A stereoscope for two
Nineteenth century stereoscopes explored the vision and perception of a single pair of eyes. What if we consider the stereoscope of two simultaneous viewers? There could be a central plane for stereoviews that two distinct viewers can see from opposite positions. The apparatus becomes a device to connect. Perhaps what viewer B sees relates to viewer A personally, and vice versa.
Idea C / A full body stereoscope
Can the stereoscope engage more of the body (physically)? The emphasis on the optical has resulted in forms for the stereoscope (and technologies that stem from it) that are focused on the eyes. If we consider the stereoscope as a device for senses in addition to vision and an apparatus that physically engages more of the body. What if the stereoscope covers the entire body? What if the representations are not just visual?
Historical Methodology:
When Victor Greene began publishing the Green-Book in 1936 the goal was to provide Black Travelers with resources for local businesses across the United States, and later globally. For many African Americans traveling in Jim Crow south meant experiencing segregation and being fear of personal safety. Victor's Green- Book offered a list of business that catered toward Blacks during that time. The 21st century has brought to light these questions of safe spaces after recent racial profiling that have led to shootings of unharmed Black individuals (Herron 1). The goal of this project is to create a digital afrofuturistic Green-Book for Black people in the future(50 years from now).
The project will incorporate Afrofuturism a principle that uses the past and present to inform the future for Blacks. By Remediating the Green-Book for the digital era, I hope to bring back these questions of what does it mean for spaces to be safe for Blacks in the future. In this paper, I will focus on a historical survey to revitalize the Greenbook in a digital form. The historical approach will include Afrofuturism, archival, and analysis of primary objects. I also plan to demonstrate preliminary sketches and concepts of the project.
The Afrofuturism approach comes from theorist and writer Kodwo Eshun's paper "Further Considerations of Afrofuturism" which describes the various influences that artist, writers, musicians have attributed to the field. Eshun states, "Taking its cue from this 'dual nature' of the 'critical and utopian,' and Afrofuturist art project might work on the exposure and reframing of futurisms that act to forecast and fix African dystopia" (93). The quote notes that two elements are essential in creating art projects that better predict Blacks in the future they include, exposure and reframing. I intend to use the concepts of exposure and reframe as a framework that will extend beyond Eshun's principles to take into account the cultural significance of the Green-Book and to structure the future society I envision.
The purpose of exposure is to understand the historical benefits that the artifact had on a particular community. It also means to bring to the forefront what this means to the future of Black spaces in the physical and digital realm. During, the exposure process archival work also occurs. In the project, I will be working with the archivist at the Auburn Avenue Research Library (AARL) the primer library in the southeast that offers cultural and historical information on African Americans. AARL has a digital copy of the Green Book with the help of an archivist I will be making a note of the locations, advertisements, places listed in the book, and the form and organization. The goal is that speaking with an archivist will point to the materials and components that made the structure and content of the book useful in offering Blacks with safe spaces. Yoruba Richen has recently released a documentary titled The Green Book: Guide to Freedom that will provide detail on personal accounts of the books. The film and meetings with archivists will be useful in presenting a form of information that will challenge traditional norms and present information in a structure that can better address and tackle the needs of people of color. In using the concept of exposure I also plan to extend it to remember and bring forth personal narratives that discuss its cultural impact to communities.
The second method is reframing, which takes the concept that we have exposed the artifact and now it must be repositioned and placed in an alternate future in a Black lens. Lisa Yaszek's paper "Race in Science Fiction: The Case of Afrofuturism" explores how Afrofuturism allows Black authors the ability to explore racial issues through a science perspective. Yaszek states, "Afrofuturist artists are interested in recovering lost Black histories and thinking about how those histories inform a whole range of Black cultures today"(2). This statement demonstrates that reframing is a way of reclaiming these artifacts and helps to create a future through a Black lens.
Extending upon the work of Eshun it will consider how Blacks can retell stories that challenge what societal structures have meant. Reframing the Green Book will present a way to understand better how this past artifact can be used to inform future communities. The methodology of exposure and reframe is not only essential in remediating the object, but it also allows for an approach that is rooted in Black narratives.
Preliminary Sketches:
The preliminary sketches show the interface of an interactive book. The book will be in a digital form inspired by Kindle and other media books. I plan to add a style and interface design that pulls from Afrofuturistic art concepts and is speculative in its approach. I played with various formats of how the book would structure in the future. I based this on my readings from the future of the book website, which includes detail in how people envision books.

A Historical Analysis of the zoetrope, an ignored history of the past and the future
Zhong Hu
This article examines the historical context of zoetrope through its application in various forms and early media artifacts. This article will focus on how people experience zoetrope and study it as a historical object as the author dives into the examples of early ignored history of zoetrope artifacts, the then developed cylinder zoetrope, and recent practice after 1900 that brought a new perspective.
In pairing these examples, the author offers a historical survey of zoetrope in chronological order that expresses the notion of media as an archeological subject. The central idea from this article is to explore the old artifacts with a fresh view angle.
I interpret media as an extension of ourselves to enrich our otherwise limited information bandwidth. Drawing an analogy between the martial arts and the media, both methods accept external tools as an extension to sense the outside environment with belief in enriching human beings current experience. For example, the swords, the sticks, and many more weapons function as an outreach of the arms to probe the opponents. More importantly, while the martial arts only takes physical tools for such expansion, our expertise in media can go beyond with both physical and digital experience combined. Evolving from its physical form, our media devices have this magic power of transcending the form and incorporating much more diverse content. It has been manifested on many media forms such as telegraphs, kinescope, and recently the VR that not only have a physical form one could interact with, they also have a gigantic collection of virtual content. However, zoetrope predates these latecomers. For decades, people have tried this through endless effort in which I shall illustrate in the example of Zoetrope. The term, zoetrope, is a relatively new term that was not invented until 19 century when British inventor William Horner needed a name for his device, but the earliest documented zoetrope was found in China.
Because one of the underlying premises of this article is that zoetrope could not be considered separately from its origin and social background, the section one starts off by exploring some of the expressive arts that precede it briefly before diving into the distinct environment that gave birth to zoetrope in China in the 11 century. It will review traditions of visual storytelling that flourished centuries before the zoetrope appeared.
The zoetrope stayed mostly unchanged until the 18 century when the shadow play was introduced into European cities such as Paris and London. Section two will illustrate the process of rediscovering zoetrope in the period. The shadow play inspired scientists explored the scientific mechanism of the zoetrope. The modern zoetrope began to develop in London in the mid-nineteenth century. William George Horner, a Cambridge mathematician, rediscovered the importance and gave the name of the zoetrope.
Section three will shift the focus on the heyday of zoetrope in its cylinder form in the late 19 and the early 20 century. The zoetrope may have been neglected because it was later subsumed into other forms of media while some other distinctive forms retained their identities. And finally, the late appearance of the zoetrope in recent history was its usage in subway media where the cylinder form has evolved into a linear form. The subway zoetrope's apparatus, its relationships to the audience, and its role in the public sphere has changed significantly.
The central question of zoetrope changed with the emergence of technology evolution.

There is perhaps no incident of early cinematic apocrypha more well-known than that of the Paris premiere of L'arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat at the Salon Indien du Grand Café on December 28, 1895. The film, produced and directed by brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière, is said to have incited incited panic in its unsuspecting audience, who were convinced that the image of the oncoming train was seconds from running off its tracks and straight into the crowded salon. Maxim Gorky, a Russian journalist who reported on a screening of the same film in Nizhny Novgorod, describes—in language commensurate to the alleged terror—how the arriving train "seems as though it will plunge into the darkness in which you sit, turning you into a ripped sack full of lacerated flesh and splintered bones, and crushing into dust and into broken fragments this hall and this building" (408). It is nearly impossible, today, for a modern audience to watch the film and not consider at once the magical charm of antiquated cinema alongside the quaint image of public alarm in the face what now appears as a totally benign non-event.
Scholars have more or less closed the book on the veracity of this familiar story. Not only is there scant record of such a panic—and what newspaper could resist such a story—but evidence suggests that the film may not have even been part of the program at all on that famous December evening. Nevertheless, the imagined event remains pervasive. "While the fear and panic of the audience facing Lumière's locomotive is retold in the form of an anecdote," writes film scholar Martin Loiperdinger, "its status reaches much higher: reiterated over and over again, it figures as the founding myth of the medium, testifying to the power of film over its spectators" (93). My project is an attempt to reenvision this mythic foundation of cinema in a digital environment and to complicate its status through an exploration of anachronistic historical, historiographical, critical, theoretical, and poetic perspectives on spectacle and spectatorship.
The working title of this project is Jamais Vu—French for "never seen." Psychologically speaking, jamais vu is the inverted counterpart of the more widely recognized déjà vu. It refers to a simultaneous and irreconcilable sense of recognition and unfamiliarity. In one sense, the title is a pun on both the French origins of the incident in question and the common understanding that, even in light of earlier, more primitive examples of projected moving images, few members of the audience at the Grand Café would have ever seen anything quite like the Lumière's innovative showing. In another sense, Jamais Vu encapsulates the more particular historiographical approach of this project. By anachronistically suffusing a representation of what is, to many, a well-known apocryphal event with carefully selected texts gathered thematically and synchronically from various historical and theoretical writings, I hope to create an experience that is constituted from the very critical discourse with which it implicates itself—a work that negotiates no clear consensus between estrangement and reconciliation.
Generically, Jamais Vu will most likely take the form of a retro-style graphic adventure game. ("HistorioGraphic," at the very least, affords the opportunity to make another pun.) The environment of the salon at the Grand Café will be represented in two-dimensions, with simple pixel-based art assets. This is intended both as a visual reference to the genre's forebears (see the classic Lucasarts adventure games, for instance) and also to develop an impressionistic style which leaves room for an emphasis on textual elements. Players will control a protagonist character whose personal history will be predefined by the narrative of the game, but whose responses to other characters may be influenced by player choice. At the moment, the game's protagonist is an established socialite whose reputation in Paris society has recently been strained on account of the sudden, mysterious death of her shall-we-say distant husband. The establishment of a defined protagonist is important to the historiographic project of Jamais Vu so as to best allow for the anchoring of the more fantastical, experimental elements of the experience to a more down-to-earth, human story—however tongue-in-cheek it may end up being.
The player will guide this protagonist through the scene of the salon, interacting with various other characters along the way: a bartender, a wealthy businessman, a few close friends, or an engineer making last-minute adjustments to the cinematograph itself. These conversations will take the general form of a dialogue interspersed with snippets of text taken from the works listed below in the "Works Cited" section. I intend to gather quotations which, when set one against another, give the impression a continuous conversation, despite the temporal, geographic, and disciplinary differences that may otherwise preclude their authors' conversation—a collage, or rather montage, of theory. One character may implore: "The show's about to start, let's head to our seats." Another may respond: "Being a spectator is not some passive condition that we should transform into activity. It is our normal situation" (Rancière, 17). Then a third may chime in: "Thus the spectacle, though it turns reality on its head, is itself a product of real activity" (Debord, 14). The player would have the opportunity to respond in kind, given a few different choices of possibilities. Of course, all citation would not appear until the completion of the experience, so as to elide as much of a distinction of discourse as possible.
By the end of the experience, the Lumière's train will indeed have burst through the screen and into the crowd. It is this part, at present, that remains least defined. The game perhaps might shift into a top-down action game, through which the player must navigate their avatar around the path of a ricocheting locomotive in order to knock over the still projecting cinematograph. Or the player may have to conquer some final puzzle which would require certain information or items gathered before the climax in order to save the day. I'm honestly not sure. Nonetheless, at this point, the climax appears somewhat less historiographically charged than what most likely will come before—although this is something, too, that remains up in the air. For the purposes of this prototyping stage, I hope to have a mostly completed version of Part One of the game, with all relevant historiographic dialogue in place and the necessary visuals and sound to accompany it.

Street Scene Cancellation
As you all may already be aware of MCR backed out of the Street Scene performance yesterday, but there is a reasonable explanation. According to multiple sources who were at Street Scene, MCR was there, but they were unable to perform due to Gerard and Bob both injuring themselves on set of their new music video. Gerard is reported to have broken his ankle, while Bob suffered possible third degree burns to the back of his legs, neck and hands. So please keep the guys (all of them) in your thoughts and wish them a speeding recovery. Get better soon guys!
