[[alternative]]The research of the demonstration and application of the 3D images in multimedia field
No full text[[abstract]]ABSTRACT
It was to be taken delight in talking about two images which were at a distance of few inches of eyesight could produce the 3D images through the 3D glasses in the Renaissance. Till the invention of photography, the 3D photos express quickly to all world. From posters to movies and from frames to multimedia, the evolution of vision in 19 century still radiates and gives out heat now.
For 166 years, the technology progresses rapidly. The attitude of people appreciating the images changes quickly. No matter the quality of photo, the equipment of action viewer and screen, the display of images by chemical way was queried gradually. The computer monitor changes to look out. The application of 3D images in the multimedia display can reappear the substance and make the spectators as though arrive the locale. It has the effect of exaggeration and it’s truer than truth. It can get rid of the witchcraft of the single vision. People would not be busy for nothing. The application of the software can express the 3D photos which are the personal style in the screen easily and people needn’t wear any equipment. The great vision evolution is the tendency. It can’t be held back.
20 years ago, I contacted the 3D photos and then made a reason with it. I experienced firsthand by myself from easy to complex and from static state to motion situation. I visited some famous expert to understand the situation about the 3D photos. I hoped to explore the application of 3D photography in the multimedia field. In my research, I used the traditional camera and digital camera to operate the 3D photography at the same time and learned from other expert by exchanging views. I hoped that the accomplishment of 3D photography has the precedent to follow. In the chapter 3, I attempted to use the film editing and made the continuous motion pictures to be the series connection. After adding the time factor, it became to be the mobile 3D film.
In my research, I wanted to illustrate the space concept, the vision system, the fabrication of 3D images, appreciation and the visual feeling. From the manufacturing of the action viewer, 3D photos, electric albums, and static 3D films, I made the experiment and shared the acquaintance. I also wanted to explore the potential of the application of 3D photos in the multimedia display. I wish that the research can attract more people interested in taking photograph to advance the 3D photography. Then the technic can express quickly in Taiwan.

Review of \u3ci\u3eGeneral William S. Harney: Prince of Dragoons\u3c/i\u3e By George Rollie Adams
No full textThe foremost army office! (next to Winfield Scott) from the end of the War of 1812 to the beginning of the Civil War, William S. Harney experienced the entire spectrum of military activity during the period. More than anything else, he was an army officer of the Indian frontier, and it was on the frontier opposing Indians that he made a name for himself.
Harney was tall, powerful, and athletic as well as volatile, profane, and violent. This combination tended to bring him to the fore wherever he was stationed. He was at his best during active command in the field. Harney was aggressive, innovative, and highly effective as a field commander versus the Seminoles from 1837 to 1841, during the Mexican War in 1847, and against the Sioux in 1855 and 1856. He could be extremely stubborn and vindictive and was prone to insubordination, as his conflicts with Stephen Watts Kearney and Winfield Scott reveal.
Harney did not fare so well when he took an administrative paymaster job to gain promotion, and later a diplomatic post in the Northwest. He attained his greatest reputation on the Indian frontier: in the Old Northwest, in the Seminole War, on the Texas frontier, and on the Northern Plains with the Sioux. His reputation with the tribes on the Northern Plains was so great that he served as a highly successful negotiator in the treaties that followed the Civil War.
Harney\u27s most signal failure was as commander of federal troops in Missouri at the beginning of the Civil War. His inability to suppress secessionist activity vigorously enough led to his removal from command and forced retirement by the Lincoln Administration. Harney\u27s focus on maintaining the peace in Missouri failed to adjust to the fact that war had already begun and that there were many in Missouri actively attempting to remove the state from the Union.
Author Adams proves that William S. Harney is a subject worthy of a definitive biography. His book is well researched and well written. Only a single-and superficial- biography of Harney, written in 1878 while the general was still alive, predates Adams\u27s. One might question the author\u27s criticism of Harney\u27s attack and suppression of the Sioux at Ash Hollow as unusually harsh. The incidental killing of women and children during attacks on villages and the taking of prisoners afterward became standard operating procedure by army officers campaigning against Plains Indians
