TBR , last edited in 2006, is an alternative to Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. TBR postulates the necessity of force dependence for motion to occur, thus denying that observed relative motion is necessarily real motion. Another postulate being that there is no linear motion in the Universe. Includes a new interpretation of The Lorentz Transformation,
which coincides with the results of the Haffle and Keating Experiment of 1971.
Also, the velocity of light is theorized to be other than constant for observers in all states of motion.
The theory proposes that in the conversion of mass to energy, one half of the mass involved has not been considered and that there is twice the energy released, as previously thought, one half being in a passive state. Theory is given as to how the passive energy may be accessed. One access technique being the utilization of the delay time of the extension of a magnetic field.

Jacques LaMarche (January 9, 1960 - ) is an American author.
LaMarche grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and from a young age had aspired to become a writer. When he turned forty, similar to one of the characters in his first novel, From Petoskey to Prague, he quit his day job in the grocery industry to pursue writing full-time.
From Petoskey to Prague (later retitled Hiding From Hemingway) was published by Point Net Publishing in 2000. His second novel, The Potomac Circle, was published later that year. He also put together a collection of short stories, Fictional Numbers, in 2001. More recent novels include The Green Room (2003), Falling From Delaware (2005), and 60 to Life (2007), a work of creative non-fiction.
LaMarche currently lives in Petoskey, Michigan.

Photo-realistic talking avatars are photo animations of human faces from single photos with pre-recorded sound-tracks and expressions. Its main use is multimedia personal entertainment.
Technology
The technology used by some commercial services is based in creating 3D simulations of human heads and two principles:
*the same mesh topology can be morphed to recreate basic human expressions
*animations (motion tracks, in fact) can be transferred from mesh to mesh to match movements, expressions and acting gestures of the original acting mesh
The specification of the photographs required are common to virtual face recognition and reconstruction software based in face images: front look, mouth closed, relaxed expression, uniform lighting over all the face extension without shinning areas, over-exposition or hard contrasts of shadows.
Resulting animations convey a true sense of realism and believability but the convenience of using a single photo is also its main limitation; it doesn't model hair or head profiles as 3D scanner hardware stations and systems reverse engineering based on multiple calibrated photographs do.
