Zheng Bo/Wanwu Council/Gropius Bau
It is not in my nature to join, rather to observe. Yet I joined a meditation around a tree led by the Hong Kong teacher and artist Zheng Bo. I first met him at dinner with some friends, outside a Vietnamese restaurant on a rainy evening and had been struck by the light linen garb he was wearing over his bare body. I had thought of offering him my scarf. Did he not feel cold, I asked? He answered by saying he went for a swim in a Berlin lake every morning at sunrise.
I told him I had seen his contribution to The Garden of Earthly Delights, a year ago, at Gropius Bau. I had been struck by the four videos of naked young men making love to ferns, a truly horizontal relationship. Did he not feel the Chinese tradition, especially Taoism, had a different attitude from western philosophy to nature as a whole? The western tradition maintains a distance between nature and man, while in Chinese paintings of nature for instance, man would be presented as a small particle within its movement? From here we started to talk.
We continued the conversation after having visited his personal exhibition this year. Again at Gropius Bau, where the director, Stephanie Rosenthal, is bringing new themes. He was artist in residence for 2020 to that Museum. He told me that looking out from his studio upstairs he had been gazing down at the treetops of the park surrounding the building and felt estranged. He had asked permission to single out a tree as his place of meditation. Indeed, the motto in the catalogue reflected this view. "For me a garden is more than a space to cultivate others; it is ultimately a place to cultivate ourselves." As the park outside was a public space, this meant personalizing the space around his tree. Yet, as he started to attract onlookers for his qi gong- like exercises in communion with the tree, a platform of tiles had been laid, some ten by ten meters, on which participants could join. It was on this platform he asked me to join. I was the only aged participant, most of them being young. This made some movements, especially stepping backwards, onerous and out of order.
This was outside the building, but also inside the building his exhibition was mainly visited by the young. Singles and couples would wander into the room where videos were projected on large screens. They listened for a while and then sat down and stretched on the floor. What were they listening to? A conversation between the artist and a scientist about the common life of trees in a forest. It took me some time to discover the speakers, somewhere among the trees, but after a while I spotted the artist and his white linen shroud.
The exhibition was called Wanwu Council, which did not quite match the meaning council of ten thousand things, translated from the Chinese. Council could also have been rendered by gathering. The idea was to grant political equality to all life forms. Except for this democratic message, the originality of the show also lies in the method. No longer is Chinese culture seen as wrapped in its own separate identity, but as participating in a global conversation.
In western culture one had to go back to Saint Francis speaking to the birds or calling the sun his brother or to the great landscape paintings of Breughel to hear the same dialogue.

A: The problem is that you are decorating the class with @permission_classes((permissions.AllowAny,)) and this generates some string and it is goes through your API class that expects django.http.HttpRequest
the usage of permission on APIView is:
from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.views import APIView

class ExampleView(APIView):
    permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]

    def get(self, request, format=None):
        content = {
            'status': 'request was permitted'
        }
        return Response(content)

A: If you could add all code referenced above that would help. This has happened to me when trying to do async tasks in Django

Team Attack Episode 0: The Queens Purple Pants
Welcome to the first episode of Team Attack, the unofficial podcast for Upper Deck Games. In our first episode we talk about a few cards from the new VS Aliens release and introduce ourselves.
August 3, 2016	By: PauperTim
There are many who are for a ban or at minimum a drastic change of Thanos MC, but there are still those who oppose the banning. There have been several arguments for and against the banning and each side has their own valid reasons. There have been a plethora of suggestions on how to deal with the Thanos issue including banning him, errata for the card, changing the ruling on goblin tokens, and changing how the Top 8 is determined. All of these methods have their own merits and flaws. The question is, what should be done?
OP Kit #1 Review + Decklists
August 3, 2016	By: Richard Castle
Alien Battles will be releasing this week and the majority of OP (Organized Play) Kit tournaments have already been run, but before the second wave of OP Kits arrives at our local game store, I'd like to give you my review on the first OP Kit.
The Alien Battles Set Number Predictions!
July 28, 2016	By: PauperTim
Please excuse the disorganized nature of the following, it is a bit of an internal ramble.
So we have ALN-027 as the first Alien MC shown so far which lines up with the first of the second factions MCs from the first two small expansion sets. Assuming 4 MCs per faction and two levels of each MC, the numbers would be:
Exclusive VS2PCG Spoiler - The Queen (MC Level 1)
First off, let's look at the stats. A 2/5 with 6 health is not terrible, but not having flight or range makes this card a hard sell. Other aliens that have been spoiled don't have ranged or flying either, so it is staying on theme. I was hoping The Queen would have Grab at the very least but she seems to have an all in strategy. I'm excited to see her level 2 stats to help further evaluate how strong The Queen will be.
Exclusive VS2PCG Spoiler - The Dragon
The Dragon is from the Alien 3 movie for those who have seen it or would like to get more of a backstory on this character. With me not wanting to spoil the movie for you, I'll let you go look that up on your own if you wish.
This 5 cost Xenomorph brings a world of headaches onto your opponent turn after turn. With the cards spoiled so far from The Alien Battles set, we have seen the highly aggressive nature of the alien faction to which this card is no exception. My fear with the Alien faction was that with the cards spoiled, many have 1 defense and 1 health. The faction needs something that that sticks on the board and remains as a constant threat otherwise it would likely "run out of gas" later in the game. This card remedies that issue by being the attacker that keeps on attacking.
Play or Draw?
July 7, 2016	By: PauperTim
The age old question in card games is whether it is more beneficial to play first or draw first. Due to the differences in certain games and how decks work, it can be advantageous to do one or the other by getting more cards or having some sort of handicap for playing first.
Deck Discussion: Thanos Pixie Loki Combo
May 10, 2016	By: PauperTim
Thanos is the boogeyman of the format. There are a few different ways to build him and each have their advantages and disadvantages. Regardless of the build, he is usually a force to be reckoned with. Often players talk about him needing a ban, but recently a few more decks have been able to fairly consistently take down "The Mad Titan". With all of these new decks running around, is the mad titan still relevant and a powerhouse? Yes he is.
Today we will look at an alternate build for Thanos, a combo version that was inspired by a post in the VS 2PCG Collective on Facebook. Others have taken to the deck and made their own unique changes to the Glass Cannon shell posted and I will share a sturdier more consistent shell, yet usually a little more cautious version with some consistency over the explosiveness of other posted versions. It has some advantages and disadvantages over normal Thanos Lists. First, let's take a look at "The Mad Titan" and what he is all about.
Card Discussion: Even the Odds
April 19, 2016	By: PauperTim
Even the Odds is a powerful and versatile card that and sees play in many decks. However due to the card's wording and how it interacts with other cards, it can be very confusing at first glance. We will take a look at what it does and doesn't do.
Generic Plot Twists: The Marvel Battles Set
April 15, 2016	By: GameTheoryGuy
Over the next few articles I am going to take a look at all of the plot twists released to date and describe why they are useful (or not) and some plays and situations in which they are optimal. The first article will be the generic plot twists from Marvel Battles. There has been 1 generic per team affiliation so far, so as new sets are released the total number will only get larger.
Generic plot twists can be played with any combination of characters on your side, so they are always more versatile than team plot twists. Thus on average they are slightly less powerful than their team plot twist comparisons. Every deck needs at least some generics, though, and so knowing which ones compliment which decks will help when building and playing.
Deck Discussion: Luke Cage
March 28, 2016	By: GameTheoryGuy
When looking at the defenders spoilers, one thing certainly stood out to me and I've been a fan of it since the hour it was spoiled: Luke Cage Main Character. After testing him in over 50 games, some even before the set was released, he has always stood out as potentially the best MC in the game. That's right; you didn't read the caveat of "except Thanos" or "with Thanos banned".
Starting with 4 power at level 1 is amazing. You can attack many MC's your first turn with no help from a team attack or plot twist. Many other MC's won't even stun you back if you do this. I think that LC might even be broken in this regard, because you can play no cards at all and force some other MC's (Magneto, Prof X, Green Goblin, ect) to defend themselves from turn 1. Nothing looks more unfair than having a massive hand and still having the opponent spending cards or taking wounds. 3 defense is a slight liability, but as you will see below in the Super Powers section, one that he covers pretty nicely.
Level 2, Luke is a 6/6. This is pretty standard, nothing too exciting about this. As you will read in the Level Up section, the fact that you get here on turn 3 is good, and it's a solid base for team attacks.
VS2PCG Card Advantage
Definition and Use in Card Games
There has been a discussion of what is and what isn't card advantage in recent weeks after a spoiler of Dr. Strange from the defenders set was introduced.
The definition paraphrased from Wikipedia:
Card Advantage is a term often used in various strategic card games to indicate one player having "access" to more cards than another player.
The basic concept of card advantage is that one player has more cards in hand and/or in play than their opponent.


BREMSON / CAMERZ MODEL 10 - Circa 1970. Reference the 1950s page. The Lustre-Pak, a wooden camera, was made by Bremson Photo Industries, Kansas City, Missouri for the purpose of taking high school yearbook photos. The above camera is a later version of their cameras which were rented to photographers, but with the difference that the it was manufactured by Photo-Control Corporation of Minneapolis, MN, for Bremson. Like the previous wood version, the above camera is entirely manual except for the shutter which also has an electronic release. Both used 35mm film and both used a string to allow the photographer to properly judge the distance to the subject, and like Bremson, Photo-Control Corporation is no longer in existence. Both the old and new version are extremely rare, especially in the near mint condition of the above sample. At the time of this writing, one seller had the lens portion without magazine "on sale" for $399.
FIRST CCD VIDEO CAMERA - 1970. In 1970 Bell Labs researchers constructed the world's first solid-state video camera using a CCD as the imaging device.
YASHICA ELECTRO 35 GS- 1970. The Yashica Electro 35 GS is a coupled-rangefinder, leaf-shuttered 35mm camera with aperture-priority automatic exposure. The Electro 35 GS/GT was released in 1970 by Yashica. The lens is a Color-Yashinon DX 1:1.7 f=45mm lens made in Japan and is identical to the one on the Electro G that precedes it and the GSN that follows it.
EIGHT-INCH FLOPPY DISKETTE - 1970. IBM invented the eight-inch floppy diskette and its drive to improve the distirbution of microcode patches and diagnostics. It was first used in 1971 on the IBM System/370 Model 145. The eight-inch floppy won rave reviews for its reusability, portability, and inexpensive high-density storage capability. Now it would take a hundred thousand of those original eight-inch floppies (80 KB each) to store the same data that many digicamers routinely place onto their 8-GB Compact Flash card. Later versions of the eight-inch floppy had a capacity of about 256 KB (information thanks to David Fiedler).
FIRST COMMERCIAL SSTV CAMERA AND MONITOR - 1970. Robot Research, Inc. produces the first commercial version of the slow scan TV HAM radio image transmission devices originally developed by Copthorne McDonald in 1957. The company's first products were the 70A monitor (left) and 80A camera (center). Robot Research still produces SSTV equipment today and their products are used by many HAM operators. The Kenwood handheld VC-H1 is also popular for amateur radio transmission of images (see 1998). Products of both companies can frequently be found on eBay.
INTEL 4004 MICRO PROCESSOR - 1971. In November, 1971, Intel publicly introduced the world's first single chip microprocessor, the Intel 4004, invented by Intel engineers Federico Faggin, Ted Hoff, and Stan Mazor (left to right above). The 4004 contained 2250 transistors on a single chip.
DIGITAL CAMERA PATENT - Louis A. Lopes and Owen F. Thomas - 1971. A digital camera capable of forming a picture of pattern of objects either radiating or reflecting energy, which includes an oscillator which can generate a ping-type or continuous-wave signal, which may be amplified and if the target is not self-radiant, transmitted to a stationary illuminator, which "illuminates" the target. The target reflects or radiates energy to a rectangular array or matrix of transducer elements, each of which corresponds to an element of the object observed, and each of which is connected to an analog-to-digital converter and then to a digital computer, or to logical circuitry arranged to form a digital computation. The computer determines the phase and amplitude from each element at a frequency of interest, stores the values in an ordered array corresponding to the transducer array, and performs the mathematical operation known as a two-dimensional finite Fourier transform on the values to produce a new array of values in complex notation. A similar array of absolute values derived from the complex values, when fed into a printer, forms a pictorial representation of the target which corresponds to the intensities of the signal sources of the various parts of the target. Filed 6/24/1971.
MCCORD/WESTPHAL DIGITAL ASTRONOMY PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT - 1971. Dr. Roger Clark submitted information concerning the use of equipment in 1971 and thereafter to produce digitized photographs of the moon and other astronomical objects. The camera head involved in the operation consisted of a silicon target of a vidicon tube which was scanned by an electron beam thereby producing an electrical signal that was then digitized and stored on tape. The electronics and tape recorder were mounted in a 53-cm electronics rack and the camera was attached to the rack by a cable.
This raises an interesting question, when should a photography system be described as digital photography? That is, if a series of independent components are used to first capture an analog image and then convert it into a digital image, should such a system be described as a digital camera? Where exactly do we draw the line between analog photography and digital photography? In general, this may not be a question of consequence except when the matter of who developed the first digital camera arises. I am not qualified to be the arbiter in such matters, so I merely present the material and viewers can come to their own conclusions.
To make matters a little more confused, I refer viewers to the bottom of my 1900-1920 page and the Bartlane Transmisson System. That system converted black and white photos into digits representing several shades of gray, and then transmitted the data via punched tape where the photos were then reconstructed on the other end. Strictly speaking, that system was a form of digital photography and could fairly be called the first instance of digital photography, or at least digital scanning.
The schematic shown above of the camera head is from a thesis by Jay Stuart Kunin which describes the McCord/Westphal project in detail.
Dr. Clark has a great deal of instructional material on his home page, so much so that it serves as a complete one stop location for everything having to do with digital photography.
After reading the material submitted by Dr. Clark, perhaps you would like to express your own opinion as what is a digital camera and who should get the credit for the first such camera.
THE FIRST E-MAIL - 1971. QWERTYUIOP, these letters (or something similar) made up the first message to be sent electronically over e-mail. If the letters looks familiar, it's because they make up the top row of the standard keyboard. The person responsible for the first e-mail was Ray Tomlinson, a computer engineer. Tomlinson was employed by Bolt Beranek and Newman, a company contracted by the United States Defense Department in 1968 to build ARPANET, the precursor to the Internet. Before the first message could be sent Tomlinson needed to come up with an address. He chose the @ symbol to distinguish addresses to mailboxes in a local machine and messages that were to be sent out onto the network. Tomlinson says that he chose the @ symbol because it wasn't a person's name and for it's symbolic meaning, at; someone@someplace. The first two machines to communicate via email were actually sitting right next to each other, both connected to the ARPANET. At that time, computers communicated through a separate computer on the ARPANET network. This was where the transfer of "QWERTYUIOP" took place. Within two years seventy-five percent of ARPANET traffic was e-mail.
POLAROID SQUARE SHOOTER - 1971. Originally produced between 1971 and 1972, the Square Shooter was a Ridged Plastic Bodied, Packfilm Type 80 instant camera. Although similar to the Colorpack II the Square Shooter was considered more advanced and that was reflected in the retail price of $34.95 as opposed to the Colorpack II retail price of $29.95. It lacked the built-in development timer of the Colorpack II and was slightly smaller. Camera donated by our beautiful daughter, Tatiya, who seldom misses a garage sale in our area (sorry guys, she's already married).
Exposure system designed only for 75 ASA films.
"Everset" shutter that did not need re-cocking.
Canon Canonet 28 - 1971-76. Lens f/2.8 40 mm. Shutter 1/30 - 1/620 sec. MSRP with case $64 US (about $345 in 2010 dollars). It was purchased on eBay in excellent condition for $10.
FUJICA ST701 - 1971. The Fujica ST701 was the first camera using a silicon photo-cell receptor coupled to a field effect transistor (FET) circuit for light metering. The FET photo cell provided higher sensitivity, instantaneous response and more precise measurement of light compared to Cadmium-Sullfide (CdS) photo-cells used by other cameras at that time. The mercury batteries (1.35 volts) originally sold with the ST701 are no longer available. Owners should replace the old batterie with zinc/air cells of 1.35 volts such as Everready 675. Do not use alkaline cells of 1.55-1.6 volts because they will not work in the ST701. It may be necessary to to wrap the new batteries with tape or paper as they will probably be smaller in diameter than the original batteries. The ST701's f/1.8, 55 mm lens is considered to be of very good quality. The ST701 was also available with a chrome top in addition to the black top shown above. A camera similar to the one shown above with f/1.8, 55 mm lens and case was purchased on eBay in very good to excellent condiiton for $10.
PENTAX SPOTMATIC SPIIA - 1971. Manufactured by Asahi Optical Company. Model SPIIa sold in USA only as the Honeywell Pentax SPIIa. Shutter 1 second to 1/1000 second. Cds TTL metering. Pentax screw mount. Lens: Super Takumar 1:1.4 50mm. F/1.4 - 16.
The above camera was donated to DigiCamHistory.Com in near mint condition by Ron Hardwick, one of Ohio's top professional golf instructors.
ONE-STEP INSTANT PHOTOGRAPHY, Polaroid SX-70 - 1972. The Polaroid SX-70 Land camera is introduced - the first fully automatic, motorized, folding, single lens reflex camera which ejected self-developing, self-timing instant color prints. Many consider the SX-70 to be Dr. Land's masterpiece. Original MSRP $180. The above kit in very good to excellent condition was obtained on eBay for $49, however, some vendors are currently (fall, 2010) askng as much as $390 for the same item. There are a great many SX-70s available on eBay, so be selective in your choice.
FIRST U.S. ELECTRONIC PHOTOGRAPHY SYSTEM PATENT - 1972. Texas Instruments patented a film-less electronic camera. Inventor: Willis A. Adcock; (Dallas, TX). Assignee: Texas Instruments Incorporated (Dallas, TX). Filed: June 27, 1972 and again on October 29, 1976 and June 23, 1977. Abstract : "A completely electronic system for recording and subsequently displaying still life pictures includes an optical-electronic transducer for generating electronic signals responsive to an optical image. The signals are stored and subsequently applied to a visual display. Means are provided for applying the signals at a scan rate synchronized with the scan rate of the display to effect a stationary display of the optical image. Preferably, the display is a conventional television set."
The computerized patent office filing system only extended back to 1975 at the time of this posting, however, the refilings made in 1976 and 1977 are essentially the same as the original 1972 application and can be viewed in their entirety, including drawings, by doing a patent search. To perform this search, go to the patent office's web site shown below and select "Patents" in the drop-down menu. When the patents' page appears, select "Quick Search." On the quick search page place the patent number in the "Term 1" box and select "Patent Number" in the "Field 1" (4,057,830 or 4,163,256) box. In the "Select years" box select "All years" and press the search button. To view the patent drawings, which are TIFF images, you must first download TIFF plug-ins which are free.

FIRST CCD TV VIDEO CAMERA - 1972. Using the Smith & Boyle CCD, Bell Labs researchers built the world's first solid-state video camera in 1972. Left - Mike Tompsett and Ed Zimany test the new solid state camera. Right - image of Mke Tompsett's wife. In 1975, Bell Labs demonstrated the first solid-state camera with image quality sharp enough for broadcast television. We believe we were the first digital camera history web site to provide a photo and information concerning this camera.
RCA PROTOTYPE CCD TV CAMERA - 1972. The camea used a CCD from Bell Labs with 32 x 44 pixels.
YASHICA ELECTRO 35 GSN- 1970. The design of the Yashica Electro GSN essentially goes back to the first Electro 35 rangefinder released in 1965 and was not changed until the end of the production of the GSN in 1987. Its size is comparable to that of the Konica Auto S2 and the elder Minolta Hi-Matic models 7S, 9, and 11. It had a fast 1:1.7 45mm lens. There is a similar black finished model called Electro 35 GTN.
FIRST COMMERCIAL CCD - 1973. Fairchild Imaging successfully developed and produced the first commercial charge coupled device in 1973 with a size of 100 x 100 pixels. In 1974, the above Fairchild CCD and an 8-inch telescope were used by james R. Janesick to produce the first astronomical CCD image (see James R. Janesick below). It was also used in the world's first known operational electronic CCD still image camera which was constructed by Steve Sasson of Kodak (see farther down on this web page). The above CCD was donated to DigiCamHistory.Com by Jim Janesick.
FAIRCHILD MV-100 - 1973. The Fairchild MV-100 had the same 100 x 100 pixel CCD as the below MV-101 and was the first commercially available CCD camera.
(1) . The Fairchild MV-101 was used to perform Procter & Gamble product inspections (2) and was also used in the world's first still image digital camera hand-built by Steve Sasson of Kodak - see article below: KODAK PROTOTYPE CCD DIGITAL CAMERA - 1975. MSRP $4,000 (3) .

NOTE: The above information was obtained in the early days of this site when there was almost nothing on the web concerning Fairchild CCDs and cameras and required many hours of research and followup of obscure comments in various publications. Some new sites, notably one in Germany, which use the many years of research spent on the development of DigiCamHistory.Com, and the information now much more readily available on the web, disparage this site for what they feel is insignificant or irrelevant material. This is easy to do at a much later date when someone else has done all the hard work for you, but at the time when this material was first put on our site, and with almost nothing available concerning Fairchild cameras, every tiny bit of information that could be found was considered to be of significance, and we still think so.
CCD FABRICATION - 1974. Dr. Gil Amelio conceives a fabrication process that allows CCDs to be produced on a conventional wafer fabrication line.
SONY AVC-3250 - 1974. The AVC-3250 was used in many schools and corporate video studios of the time. Two thirds-inch vidicon tube for pickup, detachable four-inch CRT viewfinder for aiming. Lens: f 1.8, 12.5mm - 75mm. 6 to 1 zoom. This camera and others in the series were the work horses of their day. For those interested, a fine collection may be established sticking just to video cameras. See the web site below for an idea of items available. The above camera with two lenses and case with accessoiries, all in excellent conditon, were purchased on eBay for just $76.
Shown below is the Akai VC-115 studio videocamera which was used for much the same purposes as the Sony AVC-3250.
TEAC HC-100 - 1974. Shown above is a TEAC video camera similar to the Akai VC-115 , the HC-100. For those collectors looking for a specialty area, early vidoe cameras and camcorders are plentiful in excellent condition and at bargain basement prices. This HC-100 in with fitted cased was obtained on eBay for only $20.
MAMIA RB67 PRO S - 1974. Medium foremat (6 x 7 cm) camera. The RB67 had a rotating back which enabled photographs to be taken in either landscape or portrait orientation without rotating the camera, a very valuable feature for studio cameras mounted on heavy tripods. . The RB67 soon became widely used by professional studio photographers. In 1995 Kodak marketed the Kodak 463c (color) and 465m (monotone) digital backs for the RB67.
TOSHIBA IK-12 - 1974. The world's first single-tube color consumer video camera.
CROMEMCO CYCLOPS - 1975. The Cromemco Cyclops was an all-digital camera introduced as a commercial product in 1975. Its design was published as a hobbyist construction project in the February 1975 issue of Popular Electronics magazine. It was the first commercial all-digital camera using a digital MOS area image sensor. It was also the first digital camera to be interfaced to a microcomputer. The digital sensor for the camera was a modified 1K memory chip that offered a resolution of 32 X 32 pixels (0.001 megapixels). The Cyclops Camera was developed by Terry Walker, Harry Garland, and Roger Melen. The Cyclops used an image sensor that was a modified MOS computer memory chip. The opaque cover on the chip was removed and replaced with a glass lid. Initially the 1024 memory locations, which were arranged in a 32 X 32 array (4 bits per pixel), were filled with all 1s. Light shining on these memory cells would cause their contents to change to 0s. The stronger the light, the more quickly a cell would change from 1 to 0. The Cyclops used a 25mm f2.8 D-mount lens to focus an image on the sensor array. The memory array was scanned once to store all 1s in the memory elements. This was followed by a series of 15 read-out scans. The cells that had the most incident light (i.e. the brightest parts of the picture) changed from 1 to 0 the soonest. Cells with little or no incident light (i.e. the darkest areas of the picture) would not change at all. So with a series of scans the Cyclops could produce a digital, gray-scale representation of the image. Detailed information is available at the below wikipedia URL. We believe we were the first digital camera history web site to provide a photo and information concerning this camera.
INSTANT ELECTRONIC CAMERA PATENT - Jon S. Barrett - 1975. A conventional lens system projects an image on a planar array of light sensitive elements of a charge coupled device from which digital signals containing the picture information are produced and stored for reproduction by a mechanical printer. An instantaneous camera comprising a lens system; a solid state array imaging device having discrete light sensitive points whose accumulated charge is a function of the incident light; means for positioning said imaging device in predetermined relationship with said lens system; means for sensing charges at said points and generating in predetermined order a sequence of pulses whose amplitudes are a function of the respective instantaneous charges at said points; a printer responsive to said pulses and having means for direct production of visible marks; and means coupling said last-said means to said printer. For example, one using a heat-sensitive paper, such as the ones coated with white pigmented wax (or wax otherwise treated to render it opaque) over a dark background paper, permits control of the dot size either by controlling the length of time the heat is applied to the surface or by controlling the power applied to the marking element, to produce a half tone effect in the image. Filed 7/14/1975. The description is similar to the King Jim Da Vinci DV-55 thermal printer digital camera of 1990, but by a different inventor. Perhaps the Barrett patent was no longer in effect by then.
POLAROID / USI INC. M500 PASSPORT / ID SYSTEM - 1975. Polaroid has marketed a great many different instant photo products over the years, many of which are not known to the general public because they were sold for industrial/scientific or medical purposes. Some of these appear on eBay from time-to-time. The M500 ID system kit contained a camera capable of taking four instant photos at one time, four of the same photo, two photos of two, or four different photos. The camera had a built-in flash and variable exposure system. This early model kit included the Polaroid M500 mountable camera, mounting stand, photo die cutter, heat laminator, supplies and carrying case. The system was produced in conjunction with USI Inc., a producer of laminating products and other office equipment. This particular sample appears to have had little or no use as all items in the set are in mint condition. The stand appears to have never been removed from its stow-away position and the carrying case does not have the usual scratches and abrasions normally present indicating that it has been moved about.
SATCOM 1 - 1975. SATCOM 1, America's first commercially available geo-stationary satellite was placed into orbit by a Delta rocket December 12, 1975. Geo-stationary means that the satellite was placed at a distance above the earth's surface and over the equator where it would revolve around the earth within the exact same time period that it takes for the earth to rotate on its axis (synchronous orbit). This causes the satellite to stay continually above the same point over the earth's surface so that satellite receivers do not have to follow a moving satellite. It also means that spy satellites can view the same area of the earth's surface twenty-four hours a day.
BAYER COLOR FILTER ARRAY - 1975. Bryce Bayer invented the color filter array that bears his name (the Bayer filter), which is incorporated into nearly every digital camera and camera phone on the market today. Described in U.S. Patent 3,971,065, "Color Imaging Array," filed in 1975, color filters are arranged in a checkerboard pattern to best match how people perceive images, and provide a highly detailed color image. The Bayer Filter enables a single CCD or CMOS image sensor to capture color images that otherwise would require three separate sensors attached to a color beam splitter - a solution that would be large and expensive. The red, green, and blue colors of the Bayer filter are fabricated on top of the light-sensitive pixels as the image sensor is manufactured, a process pioneered by Kodak. The drawing on the right of Mr. Bayer's photo is from his notebokk where he first describes the Bayer system color sensor array.
BETAMAX SL-6200/6300, LV-1801/1901 - 1975. On 16 April 1975 Sony announced the SL-6300 Betamax VCR deck and the LV-1801 TV/VCR combination incoporating the SL-6300 and an 18-inch trinitron color television. On 10 May 1975 Sony aonnounced the LV-1901 with a 19-inch Sony Trinitron color TV and an SL-6200 Betama VCR deck. These were the first successful consumer videocassette. The first Betamax product released in the United States, the combination LV-1901 TV/VCR floor model, appeared in November 1975 priced at $2295. The one hour Betamax cartridges were considerably smaller than the earlier U-matic cartridges, and the system derived its name from the resemblance of the tape path inside the mechanism to the Greek letter "Beta"
FIRST CCD FLATBED SCANNER TO READ TEXT WRITTEN IN ANY NORMAL FONT- 1975. Invented by Kurzweil of Computer Products using the first integrated chip. Ray Kurzweil and his team at Kurzweil Computer Products created the Kurzweil Reading Machine and the first omni-font OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. They did this work in support of individuals who are blind. The world's first commercially viable flatbed scanner was developed later in 1984 by Samir Lehaff of Eskofot inDenmark (information provided by Ron Tussy of The Imerge Group).
ALTAIR 8800 HOME COMPUTER - 1975. The Mits Corporation introduced the first popular home computer, the Altair. The Altair computer kit sold for about $400 and began the personal computer revolution.
POLAROID ELECTRIC ZIP CAMERA- 1975-78. One of the less expensive Polaroids with an MSRP of $21.95 (about $89 in 2010 dollars). It was available in red, white, blue or black.
WHO INVENTED DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY? This question is often seen on web sites, but as shown by the material presented on this and previous pages, the correct answer is NO ONE. It has been a steady progression over time involving many persons, some who are noted on this and other sites, but much work has also been done by a multitude of anonymous engineers working for varius companies throughout the world. As noted below, Steve Sasson is given credit for construction of the first working, single unit digital camera that could be held in one's hands, but his work depended upon the efforts of many others. Some would like to arbitrarily give credit for the invention of digital photography to one person or another who envisioned such a device, but if that is to be the criteria, the credit for almost every known invention would have to go to various science fiction writers who "envisioned" such devices long before they were ever built. "Envisioning" such devices without detailed explanations of how they would actually be constructed, such as is required for patents, does not qualify in the minds of most as making one an inventor of such devices.
KODAK PROTOTYPE CCD DIGITAL CAMERA - 1975. A Kodak engineer, Steve J. Sasson, holds a camera he constructed, the world's first known CCD still image digital camera that was self-contained - you could hold the entire camera in your hand - no external devices such as computers were required (the Cromemco Cyclops shown above was the first digital camera, but required use of a computer such as the Altair - it was actually marketed!) Sasson's camera used the newly developed Fairchild black and white 100 X 100 Pixel (.01 megapixel) CCD as an image sensor and required 23 seconds to record a single image onto digital cassette tape (photo shown on the right). The camera weighed 8 1/2 pounds. Rochester (NY) Democrat & Chronicle, page 8D, October 16, 2001.
HITACHI (SHIBA) SHIBADEN FP-100 - 1975. WHO INVENTED DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY? Example of a professional model closed circuit studio TV camera of the era. Lens:Shibaden Fujinon TV zoom 1:1.8, F=20-100mm. Shiba Electric merged with Hitachi Electric in 1973 to form Shinsei Hitachi Electronics.
MINOLTA SR-T 200 - 1975. Lens Minolta Rokkor f/2 50 mm. Shutter 1-1/1000 sec plus B. The above camera in near mint condition was obtained on eBay for $20 although Mckeown's indicates a price range of $100-$150.
CANON 110ED, Vivitar 600 - 1975, 1976. The Canon 110ED and Vivitar 600 were two of many 110 cameras marketed by Canon, Vivitar and others during the 70's. Canon: lens f2/ 25mm. Shutter: 8 - 1/500sec. Vivitar: f8 24mm. Shutter 1/250 sec only.
VIVITAR 220-SL - 1976. What will $25 get you these days? How about a Vivitar 220-SL 35 mm camera, a 50 mm lens, a 200 mm lens, a 2X tele adapter, and a flash, all in near mint condition. Unfortunately, the camera did not come with a manual. An original manual cost an additional $28.90, more than all the equipment previously mentioned!
KEYSTONE XL200 - 1976-80. The XL200 had a fixed-focus f/1.1 lens with 9-18mm zoom. Exposure was by CdS photocell on Super 8 film. Original MSRP was around $122, which would be about $493 in 2012 dollars. All cameras have a story to tell, but unless you happen to know the previous owner you generally receive only the camera itself with no idea of its previous history. This case is a lttle different. The box contained the gift card shown above telling us a little bit about who it was purchased for and by whom. The outer envelope says mom and dad. The gift card tells us that this fairly expensive camera was intended to cover several occasions: Father's Day, Mother's Day, and someone's birthday; and was presumably given by their children, Nancy, Tim and Kim. If Nancy, Tim or Kim happens to come across this web site, be assured that your thoughtfull gift now has a happy home and will be well cared for indefinitely into the future.
KODAK ANALYST - 1975. If you like to collect unusual cameras there are many available, often quite inexpensively. For example, the Kodak Analyst Super 8 shown below is a Super 8 movie camera with one unusal feature - it has a timer which allows the user to take time lapse photographs rather than movies. The Analyst appears on eBay fairly frequently and can be purchased in excellent condition for about $30.
FIRST PHOTO FROM ANOTHER PLANET, VENERA-9 - 1975. On October 20, 1975 The Soviet lander Venera-9 transmitted the above panorama from Venus.
KH-11 RECONNAISSANCE SATELLITE - 1976. The KH-11, referenced by the codenames Crystal and Kennan , also commonly known as Big Bird, was a type of reconnaissance satellite launched by the American National Reconnaissance Office from December 1976 to October 2005. Manufactured by Lockheed, the KH-11 was the first American spy satellite to utilize electro-optical digital imaging, and create a real-time optical observation capability. It is believed to resemble the Hubble Space Telescope in size and shape, as the satellites were shipped in similar containers. Using a powerful 2.3-meter mirror, the theoretical ground resolution with no atmospheric degradation would be approximately 6 inches. Data was transmitted through the United States military's Satellite Data System relay network. Shown above is a leaked KH-11 photo showing the Nikolaiev 444 shipyard in the Black Sea taken in 1984. The KH-11 had a charge-coupled device (CCD) array with a resolution of 800 x 800 pixels (0.64 megapixels). KH-11 satellites are believed to have been the source of some imagery of the Soviet Union and China made public in 1997, as well as images of Sudan and Afghanistan made public in 1998 that were related to the response to the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings.
CANON AE-1 - 1976. First 35mm camera with built-in microprocessor (CPU - central processing unit). TTL Cds meter. About $630 with f1.4 lens. That would be about $2,549 in 2012 dollars. Click on image for enlarged view.
PETRI FT 1000 - 1976. Previously Kuribayashi, the Petri company went bankrupt in 1977. Those manufactured under the Kuribayashi name are quite rare and highly sought after in Japan. The above camera with three lenses, all in excellent condition, and an original manual were purchased on eBay for a winning bid of $10.
MINOLTA ZOOM SLR - 1976. First 110mm SLR camera. 25-50mm, f/4.5-f/16 zoom lens.
5.25-INCH FLOPPY DISK - 1976. In 1976 Shugart Associates began production of 5.25 disk drives, believed to be the first standard computer medium that was not promulgated by IBM. On the right is something rarely seen these days outside of a museum - an unopened package of 5 1/4-inch floppies. Package kindly donated by our good friends, Ruth and Ken Schumacher.
VHS - 1976. JVC introduced VHS (video home system), the most successful of all home video formats. It was introduced as a competitor of Sony Betamax. 250 lines of resolution. Maximum length of tape was 180 minutes in SP mode, 540 minutes in EP mode.
JVC HR-3300 - 1976. The first VHS home video cassette recorder was introduced in Japan by Japan Victor Corporation in September of 1976. In April of 1976 JVC had demonstrated a VHS prototype to Sony, but Sony considered VHS to be a copy of Beta and refused to adopt the VHS design. VHS eventually replaced Sony's Betamax design in the comsumer market although Beta is stilled used for non-consmer products.
APPLE I - 1977. Apple introduced its first home computer, the Apple I. The Apple I was based on the MOStek 6502 chip, whereas most other kit computers were built from the Intel 8080. The Apple I was sold through several small retailers and included only the circuit board. Users bought the workings and built their own case. A tape-interface was sold separately. The Apple I's initial cost was $666.66. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the most famous members of the Homebrew Computer Club, designed the Apple I in 1976. Many leaders in mainline computer companies like IBM and Digital did not believe that personal computers were powerful enough to have a market. Sales of the Apple I and other PC's that followed proved them wrong. Click on image to see enlarged view.
APPLE II- 1977. The first Apple II's were shipped in June 1977 and retailed for $1298 each. The Apple II was the first computer with a color display, and it had the BASIC programming language built-in, so it was ready-to-run right out of the box. The Apple II could be considered the first user-friendly system.
CASI PHOTO SYSTEM - 1977. The CASI was intended to be used for the making of portraits, the first commercial use of such a system. It required the use of a TV camera, computer and printer. The company, Computer Amusement Systems Inc., is still in business. June 1984 Popular Science, page 129. Photo and information provided by Mike Mozart, JeepersMedia.
ROLLEI 35T - 1978. When the Rollei 35 was first introduced in 1966, it was the world's smallest mass produced full frame 35 mm camera. It could fit in a shirt pocket (H = 2.57inches, W = 4 inches, D = 1.5 inches). High quality all metal construction and high quality optics led to its great success. The lens collapsed and receded into the body. Front mounted f-stop and shutter speed controls were linked to a match needle" metering system. In order to make use of all available space the hot shoe flash mount was positioned on the bottom of the camera. Other oddities included a left hand film advance and a completely removable back for film loading. Various models have been produced with the SE model being the most advanced. Originally made in Germany, some production was done in Singapore.
RCA BW003 - 1978. An example of an early consumer video camera. The B-003 was a 2/3 inch vidicon camera that was intended to compliment early VHS machines and allow the consumer to shoot home movies. The viewfinder is a simple peep sight with a reticule marked for either a 25mm or a 12.5mm lens for close-up and/or wide angle shooting. The microphone was built into the front of the camera. Many such early video cameras are available to the collector very inexpensively. The one shown above was purchased on eBay in excellent condition with manual, converter and cables for $20. MSRP about $400 ($1,300 in 2015).
KODAK TELE-EKTRA - 1978. Kodak's version of an inexpensive 110 camera. Many manufacturers produced 110 cameras during this time period and they make an interesting collection in and of themselves. They take up very little space and most are very inexpensive. The above camera in excellent condition with manual and a box of vintage flashbulbs was purchased for $3.00.
Kodak Instant Cameras - 1976-86. In October 1985, after nine years of patent litigation with Polaroid, Kodak was banned from making and selling instant cameras and film. The ban took effect January 1986, at which time Kodak announced a trade-in program. The owners of 16.5 million cameras were given the chance to trade in their cameras for a share of Kodak common stock, a new camera, or $50 worth of Kodak merchandise. By June of 1986, several class action lawsuits had been filed against Kodak by instant camera owners. The final settlement called for owners to return the camera's nameplate for a refund of cash and credits. The numerous Kodak Instant cameras without nameplates have virtually no collector or commercial value. Some Kodak instant cameras have the following names: Champ, Colorburst, EK, Handle, Happy Times, Kodamatic, Partyflash, Party Star, Partytime, Pleaser, Trimprint. Shown above left to right: Colorburst 100 (1978-80) MSRP $45, two Colorburst 200 (1978-80), MSRP $59.50, EK4 (1976-78), MSRP $53.50, The Handle (1977-79), MSRP $39.95, and The Handle2 (1979-81), MSRP $40.
POLAROID SONAR ONESTEP PRONTO - 1978. The Sonar Onestep was one of the rather unique cameras that Polaroid produced using high frequency sound waves to operate the autofocus system. That is, it determined the distance to the subject in somewhat the same way as a bat does, by emitting high frequency sounds that bounces back to the camera, but which cannot be heard by human ears.
NOVELTIES - One area where one can collect a great many photography items without spending a lot of money and without requiring a lot of storage space. The types of camera novelties available on eBay is almost unlimited: cuff links, cups, clothing, toys, office accessories, decorative items, fake cameras, storage containers, etc. Several are shown below.
COCA-COLA CHRISTMAS EDITION CAN CAMERA - 1970s. One of many can cameras made in the late 70s and early 80s. A 110 camera was fitted inside. Most can cameras were made by Eiko. With few exceptions, all of Eiko's cameras were "can cameras", that is, cameras built into a tin can. These were often sold or given away as promotions by soda and beer manufacturers. Various models were made from 1977 to 1983, but they all included a 110 camera hidden inside a can with a variety of nameplates. Many came from countries other than the U.S. and all were awkward to use.
FISHER PRICE GO TO THE ZOO CAMERA TOY - 1973. Each time the yellow button is pushed the flash cube rotates and a different zoo animal appears in the viewer.
FIRST OPTICAL DISC PLAYER- 1978. MCA DiscoVision and Philips worked together to introduce the new system, with MCA focusing on disc mastering and replication and Philips manufacturing and distributing the playback system through its Magnavox line of electronics. In december of 1978 MCA discs and Magnavox VH-8000 players went on sale in three Atlanta Georgia stores at $749 for the player. The technology later resulted in today's CDs.
SONY HVC-1000 - 1979. The HVC-1000 is an example of an early Beta video camera. Originally, the HVC-1000 required an adapter to record to Beta recorders. Later, it could record directly to the Sony SL-2000 and SL-2500 of 1982. The Sony BC-300 battery charger shown on the right was for NP-11 batteries used in Betamovie camcorders. It's somewhat unique in that it held three batteries and charged them sequentially one at a time. User could select the order of charging. Once a battery was charged it could be removed while the remainder continued to charge. Sony information provided by Jack Carter, Sony technician. The above camera with fitted hard case was purchased in excellent condition for only $9.99. MSRP $1,329.
DIGITAL AUDIO TAPE SYSTEM - 1979. Sony introduces digital recording tape. CBS Records International is the first major record company headquarted in the United States to take delivery of Sony's new PCM-1600 (pulse code modulation) digital audio processor and editing equipment.
DURST M600 - 1979. Typical enlarger of the kind used during the era when many photography hobbyists developed and printed photos in their own home photo lab.
SONY TPS-L2 WALKMAN - 1979. Sony introduced the Walkman TPS-L2 personal stereo. A midnight-blue-and-silver with high quality sound, the TPS-L2 debuted in July 1979. Called the Soundabout in the United States, it didn't record or come with a speaker, but two could listen at once through a pair of headphone jacks, and an orange button called the Hotline let the owner talk over the music. MSRP $200.
CCD CAMERAS IN ASTRONOMY - 1979. An RCA 320 x 512-pixel liquid nitrogen cooled CCD system began operation on a 1-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. Observations quickly demonstrated its superiority over photographic plates. CCDs are best for high-resolution imaging -- this is where they really come into their own. Because of the dim light associated with large image scales, the relatively poor sensitivity of photographic emulsions just cannot compete. CCD cameras are excellent at imaging small planetary nebulae, and they can render thousands of obscure galaxies as spectacular, exotic objects.
RESPONSE 300 SYSTEM - 1979. Scitex, an Israel-based company, marketed the Response 300 System which created full-color separations and allowed the operator to change image details or combine images. The Scitex Response 300 represented the first generally available technology that allowed treatment of a graphic arts page as a data file that could be electronically manipulated as a complete entity. Prior to that time, electronics and computers had seen use in graphic arts, but only to process data on the fly, without storage and without the ability to edit, change and manipulate complete page images. The U.S. topographic map at left was created using the Scitex Response 300 System. Click on image for enlarged view.
NIKON EM - 1979. The EM was intended to compete in the price range of the Canon AE-1 and Olympus OM-10. The above camera in near mint condition with two lenses, a flash and a very nice camera bag was obtained on eBay for $36.
ELIJAH EUGENE CAMPBELL - 1979. In 1979, Elijah Eugene Campbell of New Zealand designed an electronic still camera, but was unable to interest any of the major electronics manufactures. In 1981, Sony demonstrated the MAVICA still video camera which, in effect, obviated the need for Campbell to continue with his project.


"Why constitutional bodies are under stress not been able to work with full honesty in the BJP government," she asked.
Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Wednesday, February 13 questioned the report on the Rafale deal submitted by the Comptroller Auditor General (CAG) and tabled in the Rajya Sabha. The report says that the new deal to buy 36 jets was 2.86 per cent cheaper than what was being negotiated by the previous UPA government.
The much awaited CAG report on Rafale tabled in Rajya Sabha is neither complete nor fully correct in the eyes of public. Why constitutional bodies are under stress not been able to work with full honesty in the BJP government. Country is worried.
Hitting out at the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, she also raised concerns about constitutional institutions in the country being unable to work with "full honesty". "Why constitutional bodies are under stress not been able to work with full honesty in the BJP government. Country is worried," she asked.
Earlier, Opposition parties including the Communist Party of India (Marxist) as well as the Congress had highlighted that the current CAG, Rajiv Mehrishi, suffered a conflict of interest as he was the Finance Secretary (October 2014 to August 2015) when the Rafale dal was being negotiated by the Modi government.
Rajiv Mehrishi, finance secretary at the time of #RafaleDeal negotiations now submitting #RafaleCAGReport giving him and his then bosses clean chit!
What a sham! Another institution falls under Modi.

I don't drink too much beer. I have them when I am out with friends and about half the time I have one when I am out in the garage. So, I guess I am not much of a drinker.
Looking at a photo like this one, though, makes me want to sit at the bar and toss back a few. Especially if it is a basement bar like the one in the photo. Awww Yeah! Drinking beers in the basement!

A: When you use <g:Image resource="..."/>, GWT uses a background image. Background images cannot be resized in CSS 2.1. (I really wish it was possible!)
All you can do is either have a 50x50px version of the image on the server, or use <g:Image url="..."/> instead. This creates a normal <img src="..."/> instead of the background image, but you can't specify a ClientBundle resource here.

A: addStyleNames="{style.fortaImage}"

not
styleName='{style.fortaImage}'

In 1492, the explorer Christopher Columbus brought tobacco back to Europe in his ship.
It's believed that he was given dried tobacco leaves as a gift from Native Americans. They believed that smoking tobacco was good for your health. Soon, tobacco was being widely used and grown across Europe.
