"Hollywood actor Richard Armitage says he feels like a bit of a traitor to be lined up with world-class writers at Iceland Noir. Kristín Ólafsdóttir talked to the actor about the first novel, earthquakes in Grindavík and the Icelandic Christmas tradition that he plans to adopt." (x)

My latest fic about the Romantics is now on AO3! Part of the Lake Geneva University series, this one (surprise surprise) focuses on Byron...
Byron's Adventures in Therapy by unravelingdreams
PREVIEW:
Mr. Murray reached over to his desk drawer and rummaged through some papers until he found a little pink pamphlet titled “101 RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS.”
He handed it to Byron who hesitated before taking it, staring at it with his brows crooked suspiciously like it was some ugly little creature that might bite him.
"This is the same one you gave me last time," Byron said.
"Yes, but this time I want you to actually read it. I've highlighted some things for you."
"'Give someone a compliment' it says. Well, I guess I'll start by telling you that you're not the worst therapist I've had," Byron laughed.
"We may have to work on that one..."

Harry and Y/N were on their annual winter skiing trip in Geneva - a tradition they had taken up about 3 years into their relationship. They had reached the last day of the trip and decided to go out to a local bar and drown their sorrows - the pair not wanting the trip to end. After getting a few rounds between them they decided to call it a night, with their early flight and lack of packing done, they knew they probably should have ended the night a long time ago.
As they walked out of the bar, snowflakes fell softly from the sky and all the rooftops around them were dusted with a shimmering blanket of white, Harry and Y/N found themselves caught in a playful dance amidst the winter wonderland - the cold had knocked them back and they felt a lot more drunk than they thought they were.
Hand in hand, they ventured out into the cold air, their cheeks flushed red (Harry blamed the 2 bottles of wine they had shared). With each step, they left behind a trail of footprints in the snow, their laughter mingling with the soft crunch of their boots against the frozen ground.
Their destination? A secluded clearing nestled deep within the town—a secret spot they had discovered during their first winter together, a place where the world seemed to stand still and time lost all meaning.
As they arrived at their snowy sanctuary, Harry and Y/N wasted no time in diving headfirst into their wintry adventure. They built snow angels side by side, their bodies creating patterns in the pristine snow as they flapped their arms and legs, laughing at the mess they were creating.
Next came the snowman—a creation that looked a bit insane due to its lack of carrot nose (none of the shops around them were opened) or buttons for eyes (harry protested against the buttons) but nonetheless the snowman was standing proudly in the center of the snow as a testament to their love and creativity. With gloved hands and rosy cheeks, they worked together to shape and mold the perfect snowman, their laughter echoing through the quiet town as they occasionally through handfuls of snow at one another.
Yet amidst the flurry of snow and laughter, there was something else stirring in Harry's heart—a feeling so profound and overwhelming that he couldn't keep it inside any longer. Something that he'd been thinking about for months...years even.
With a nervous flutter in his chest, he turned to Y/N , his blue eyes shining with love and affection. And in that moment, surrounded by the beauty of the winter landscape and the warmth of their shared laughter, struggling through the snow to get down on one knee, he spoke the words he had been longing to say.
"Y/N, will you marry me?," he whispered, his voice barely above a hush and slightly hoarse from all the singing they’d done in the bar but still managing to carry with it all the depth and sincerity of his feelings.
Tears welled in Y/N's eyes as she gasped in astonishment, her hand flying to her mouth in disbelief. Her heart swelled with overwhelming joy, and her stomach felt sick (a mix of shock and booze) and it was as though she might burst with happiness.
It had felt like hours had gone by as the two faced one another, Harry shaking on one knee and Y/N stood in shock.
With a trembling voice, Harry broke the silence rambling in his drunken state, “You know it's okay if you say no, but I'd love it if you said yes - it's just sort of freezing down here and I’m scared if I stay like this any longer I’ll have turned to ice.'' Y/N could barely choke a laugh at his attempt of a joke but his panic shook her slightly and she realized she hadn’t replied to him yet.
Unable to contain her emotions any longer, she threw her arms around him, pulling him into a tight embrace as tears of joy streamed down her cheeks. "Yes! Yes, a thousand times yes!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with pure elation. A sigh of relief passed Harry's lips.
And as they stood there, wrapped in each other's embrace, surrounded by the beauty of the winter landscape, Harry and Y/N knew that their love was as enduring and timeless as the snow that blanketed the earth—a love that would warm their hearts even on the coldest of days, and carry them through all the seasons yet to come.

Record Collector - December, 1996

NEWS FOR THE RECORD
COMPILED BY MARK PAYTRESS
MERCURY MULTIMEDIA
THE FREDDIE MERCURY PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION
THE FREDDIE MERCURY PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION
An exhibition featuring over 100 photographs of Freddie Mercury went on show at the Royal Albert Hall last week, to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the death of the Queen frontman. The display is drawn from both private and public collections and spans the singer’s life from his infancy in Zanzibar to his final, formal portrait, taken during his battle against Aids. The exhibition is free of charge, and is open until 11th December.
Turn to the feature elsewhere in this issue for more details, plus an exclusive selection of images from the show.
QUEEN GIVE US THE EYE
Queen Multimedia, in conjunction with Electronic Arts, have announced the launch of “The Eye”, an interactive, action-adventure computer game, based on the music and imagery of the band.
The game will be available in March 1997 as a five-CD-ROM set compatible with IBM PCs. Ninety minutes of original and remixed versions of Queen’s best-known songs have been aligned to “motion captured characters and real-time facial animatio”.
“ ‘Queen — The Eye’ will be the first music game of its kind,” claims Tim Massey of Destination Design, who created the package. “This resourceful vision makes the integration of Queen’s timeless appeal with the revolutionary audio and visual gaming technology a ‘must have’ product.”
Expect a flurry of promotional and advertising initiatives to tie in with the release of the game, including a ‘making-of’ TV documentary; a worldwide syndicated radio special; and at least three associated books, to be published by Boxtree. A price for “Queen — The Eye" has yet to be fixed, although the manufacturers estimate it will be in the region of £40.
STATUESQUE MERCURY
On 25th November, five years after the untimely death of Freddie Mercury, a 9ft bronze statue of the late, great singer was unveiled at the waterfront at Lake Geneva, Montreux, Switzerland, near to Mountain Studios where Queen recorded their final album, “Made In Heaven”. The statue was paid for by Freddie’s family and friends, and the patch of land on which it stands was donated by the commune of Montreux, who got to know Freddie during his final years.
The statue is the work of Czech sculptor Irene Sedliek, a fellow of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and a memory of the Society of Portrait Sculptors. The memorial was unveiled by opera star Montserrat Caballe, with whom Freddie recorded his “Barcelona” theme tune to the 1988 Olympic Games.
WIENER WILL ROCK YOU
Following screenings at film festivals in Venice, Cannes and London earlier this year, Queen’s “Made In Heaven: The Films”, is now available on a compilation video, via independent label Wienerworld, priced £10.99. Without Freddie as Queen's focal point, the band bypassed the traditional rock video medium and opted instead to commission eight short films from young directors via the British Film Institute.
“Queen were the pioneers of the promo and have reinvented it on many occasions. The project offered the opportunity to think hard about what has happened to the music promo, and how to invigorate a more dynamic relationship between pictures and sound,” said executive producer and head of the BFI Film Division Ben Gibson. “l think the results, which are films in their own right, vindicate everyone’s belief that the project has crossed new boundaries on short film-making.”
EURO GA GA
“Queen Dance Traxx 1” is a new album featuring sixteen Europop cover versions of songs made famous by pop's most flamboyant foursome. Issued on the Continent in October and in January in the U.K., the CD features dancefloor-orientated reworkings of Queen anthems like “We Will Rock You” (by Interactive), “Under Pressure” (by Culture Beat), “l Was Born To Love You” (by World's Apart) and “The Invisible Man” (by Scatman John).
“The first time I heard ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ I stopped what I was doing and just listened,” reports the Scatman. “As a jazz artist at the time, I knew I was hearing something special. Freddie Mercury’s knowledge of music, coupled with his vision, was clearly understood by the band… and there was a development and execution of that understanding that created music I felt was of genius. With this project, we’re aiming to bring a new life to the music of a past generation with sensitivity, with taste and with creativity.”
LASERS LEAD THE WAY
Two other Queen films, the “Champions Of The World” documentary and “The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert”, have just been issued on Laser Disc, via Pioneer. The Laser Disc is the principal video format in the States, and is growing in Europe. The manufactures of these 12" diameter, double-sided discs claim digital sound and broadcast-quality pictures, plus the added bonus of compact disc-style indexing. On music titles this means you can key into favourite tracks without having to bother with out-moded ideas like fast-forward and rewind.
“Champions Of The World” is priced £24.99, while the double-disc “The Freddie Mercury Tribute” costs £34.99. Forthcoming Queen Laser Disc releases include “Greatest Hits 1 & 2” and “Wembley”.
FLASH!
THE FREDDIE MERCURY PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION
ANDY DAVIS INTRODUCES A NEW VISUAL CELEBRATION OF QUEEN’S MUCH MISSED FRONTMAN
It’s now five years since the rock music world learned of the tragic death of Freddie Mercury. In that time, the surviving members of the band have paid tribute to him by completing and releasing the final album they recorded together, “Made In Heaven”, and have sanctioned a whole host of projects by which fans can remember Freddie and the group he fronted with such astonishing showmanship for twenty years.
Now, to mark the fifth anniversary of his death, and to celebrate his extraordinary life, an exhibition featuring some of the best photographs of Freddie Mercury has just opened at the Royal Albert Hall. Sponsored by EMI Music, the exhibition was conceived by Queen’s manager Jim Beach, and is being put together under the aegis Of Freddie’s publishing company, Mercury Songs. One of its principal aims is to raise both funds and awareness for the Mercury Phoenix Trust, the Aids support charity established in Freddie’s name in the wake of his death. (To date, the Trust has raised around £4 million.)
The choice of venue — the circular corridor which runs around the inside perimeter of the Royal Albert Hall — is both unusual and prestigious, as explained by the exhibition’s curator, Richard Gray, who as Queen’s art director, has been the man behind all the band’s artwork for the last ten years.
“It took a long time to figure that the Royal Albert Hall might be the venue,” he reveals. “Exhibitions like this are usually something they don’t get involved with. But we wanted people to have access to the show without getting the feeling you can get, for example, in some art galleries, where the door has to be unlocked for you before you can even go in. The exhibition is free of charge, but there will be collection boxes on the site, and we hope that people will be generous!”
CUTE
The exhibition features over 100 colour and black-and-white images spanning Freddie’s life, from cute baby photos of the infant Farookh Bulsara just a few months old in Zanzibar to his final, formal portrait, taken by Richard Gray for “Greatest Hits II” in 1991. Each photograph has been enlarged to 20” by 16”, and has been carefully retouched where appropriate, and then finished using the most sophisticated imaging techniques available. In all, the show took over a year to complete.
“The big jump came when we were granted access to Freddie’s parents and his photo albums,” reveals Richard. “Initially, Freddie’s parents weren’t sure whether they wanted to open up their family albums, but once they’d made that decision they were happy for us to continue.” Because ofhis family’s co-operation, fans now have a rare opportunity to glimpse the man, the child even, behind the Mercury persona which Freddie spent much of his life cultivating. But what a persona!
Among the pictures Brian May contributed from his personal collection are a series of stereo photographs of Freddie taken the late 70s and early 80s. “Stereo cameras take two he shots of the same image and turn them into 3-D,” explains Richard. “They’re quite amazing. There are five stereo pictures on show in a special viewer, all of which feature Queen live on stage. Brian would lend his stereo camera to photographers covering the concerts, and there are others by David Burder, an expert in 3-D photography, who also happens to be a friend of Brian’s. He helped me get the shots together.”
Among the other images on show are pictures of Freddie at Ealing Art College in the late 60s, dozens of stills of him in Queen throughout the 70s and 80s, and a handful of Polaroids of the lakefront view at Montreux, which Freddie sent home to his parents. “It’s more the case of telling a story than just a photographic exhibition,” maintains Richard Gray. “There are lots of photos which you'll recognise, but others, probably about 25%, which have never been seen before.”
Another highlight for fans will be the only U.K. showing of the three-foot high plaster model which sculptress Irene Sedliek used for her statue of Freddie, recently erected in Montreux, Switzerland, and which appeared on the cover of “Made In Heaven” album. A smaller version of the statue, measuring about 12” in height, will be included in the exhibition when it travels abroad next year.
After a break for Christmas, the exhibition will move to the National Theatre in Paris for two weeks in January, followed by a season at the Cologne Philharmonie in Germany. Thereafter, it will undertake a two-year world tour, and there are plans for it to return home sometime in the near future, where it will be staged in various provincial British cities. Commemorative tie-in merchandising, including a set of six postcards, a poster, T-shirt, and a 20-page programme, is on sale at the exhibition, all profits from which will go to the Mercury Phoenix Trust.
All photographs reproduced by kind permission of Mercury Songs Ltd.
The Freddie Mercury Photographic Exhibition is open from 10.00am to 1.00pm until 11th December 1996 (excepting Thursday 5th December), at the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Gore, London SW72AP. Admission is free but by ticket only. 500 tickets are available in advance for each day of the exhibilion. A further 1,000 tickets are available each day to personal callers.
Telephone bookings/enquiries: Royal Albert Hall Box Office, 0171 589 8212, open 9.00am to 9.00pm every day.

Eye Tracking: What's the difference between the eye of Big Brother and the camera [for reflection]?
Hi #BigBrother fans! As I wrote before, Big Brother will return to Hungary after 21 years off the air, this time with a brand new (kid-friendly) season, i.e. season 3, and a new eye logo (which is using this title in the Netherlands and Belgium since 2021). Now we will tell you, but what is the difference between the Eye of Big Brother and the camera, if the camera reflecting the Eye of Big Brother with gaze tracking, macro view. Close your eyes and remember the beautiful legendary reality show 'Big Brother'!
Reminder: We're going between July and August 2002, TV2 aired another Big Brother trailer in the promo, when the camera looks from close up with a macro view (with camera reflection), the all-seeing beautiful eye of Big Brother is tracking the light and shut it off from the outside world.
The human eye (oculus humanus) is the sensory organ of vision in the human body, which is used to perceive the rays of light coming from environmental objects - emanating from them or reflected from them - and with its optical system it maps their shape, spatial position and color.
By analogy with the optical system of cameras, the eye has a simple, two-part converging lens type objective. The outside is the cornea, the inside is the lens. The iris, which also determines the color of the eye, reduces the amount of light entering the eye. The opening of the iris is the pupil, the diameter of which changes depending on the light intensity, and plays the role of the aperture. The incoming light rays pass through the vitreous body (corpus vitreum) and are focused on the retina. The image is the formed with the help of the central nervous system.
The iris is a flat plate with the function of a light aperture, whose light-transmitting opening (round in humanus, with a average diameter of 4 millimeteres) is the pupil (the rarely used Hungarian name for which is 'eye bug'). It is attatched to the anterior, looser part of the conjuctiva (spongiosa sclerae) with a fine connective tissue fiber system. The basis of the iris is a fine connective tissue, in which there are two opposing smooth muscles, the pupil constrictor muscles (musculus sprinter iridis (pupillae)) and the pupil dilator muscle (musculus dilator pupillae). They carry out the narrowing and dilating reactions of the pupil's adaptation to the light and other reflexes (accommodation reflex). The front surface of the iris shows a fold characteristic of the given individual. The color of the iris is determined by the number, pigment content and arrangement of the cells containing the dye (pigment) in it. They are basically influenced by hereditary factors (see eye color). It receives its double (sympathetic and parasympathetic) innervation from the autonomic nervous system. A sympathetic predominance causes the pupil to dilate, while a parasympathetic predominance contricts.
The pupil - rarely called 'the eye bug' in Hungarian - is the opening on the iris, which is round in humans, in the central part of the iris, a special flat formation of the choroid. Its role is essentially the same as that of the aperture, so it makes the image projected on the retina sharper and brighter.
At night, when a person sleeps most deeply, the pupils narrow significantly. According to researchers at the University of Geneva, this narrowing of the pupils is directly related to the area of the brain responsible for memory. According to their assumption, the closing of pupils means a kind of extra protection for the brain against the effects of external light, which could disrupt the process of recording and processing memories.
The iris contains pigment cells that determine the color of the eye. The specific muscles in it - some of which are of epithelial origin - are used to widen and narrow the pupil, which regulates the amount of light entering the eye, thus helping the eye to adapt to changing light conditions.
Its innervation is dual and originates from the autonomic nervous system. Excitation of the sympathetic nervous system leads to dilation of the pupil, while parasympathetic excitation leads to contriction of the pupil. These effects also occur when appropriate medications are used. The pupil can't be neglected from a cosmetic point of view either - which is completely justified - but sometimes the ladies were also able to do very harmful things (to themselves!) (e.g. pupil-dilating drugs).
Due to the double innervation, the dilation or constriction of the pupil is a good indivation of many processes taking place in humans. By dilating, the pupil reacts to, for example, strong positive emotions, sexual excitement, pain or intense brain activity. It narrows down to negative emotions, disgust, disgust or brain overload. These signals are known and used by many diciplines, from psychology to marketing.
Camera is a name derived from the Latin term camera obscura, which is used in the Hungarian sense of film recorder and video camera, but more recently, under the influence of English, it is also used as the name of camera.
A video camera is a structure consisting of optical lenses and a light-protected part. Through a shutter, the lenses project an image onto a recording surface, which electronically transmits/stores the incoming light. Here, the recording can be done analogically or digitally. Their resolution is still well below that of traditional cameras, but this will probably change in a few years.
The camera is structure consisting of optical lenses and a light-protected part. The lenses project an image onto a mounting surface through a shutter mechanisim. With a word of Latin origin, it is also called a camera. Analog cameras are only suitable for recording still images, but digital cameras can also record moving images, i.e. they also function as video cameras.
Most cameras record the image in the range of light perceptible to the human eye, but some special machines and photographers using special film are able to record images from the invisible range as well.
Any plate made of transparent material (usually glass or plastic), bounded by two spherical surfaces or a spherical surface and a plane, and influencing light rays in a directed manner, is called an optical lens. Lenses can basically be convex or concave. Convex lenses are those that are thicker in the center than át the edges; if the material of the lens is optically denser than that of the environment, these are also called collecting lenses. Convex lenses (spread lenses), on the other hand, are thicker at the edges.
Both converging and diverging lenses form an image of objects. These images can be real or apparent. As an objects moves along its axis, it moves closer or further away from the lens. If the object approaches the lens, the image moves in the same direction, i.e. the mapped image moves away from the lens. In the case of a collecting lens, six characteristic ray paths can be distinguished in the optics. The discussion of the case applicable to the collector lens can be seen in the attatched picture.
Let's go back to the human eye, the eye lens (lens oculi) is bioconvex, transparent optical lens, diameter 9 millimeters, thickness 4.5 millimeters, the convexity of its front surface is smaller, and the convexity of its back surface is greater. The edge connecting the two surfaces is rounded. It is formed by modified, highly elongated epithelial cells. It is covered by a transparent membrane, the lens (capsula lentis). In its stock, a more gelatinous cortex (cortex lentis) and a denser core (nucleus lentis) can be distinguished.
The discovery of eye tracking is linked to the name of the French ophthalmologist Emile Javal (1878). Javal observed the movement of the eyes while reading and noticed that the eyes do not continuously along the lines, but in small jumps (per saccade), and intermediate fixations can be observed during the jumps.
Eye tracking enables the measurement of eye movements, eye positions and gaze points through various technological processes. In other words, eye tracking identifies and monitors a person's visual attention to location, objects, and duration.
After 21 years off the air, Big Brother will return to Hungary, this time with a brand new (kid-friendly) season, if a water fairy falls asleep on his pupil in the World Inside the Eye of Big Brother, she will dream big and shut it off from the outside world.
Are you waiting for the revival of Big Brother Hungary, this time with a brand new (kid-friendly) season? Read and tracking this text with your eyes!

More 'Coincidences'
- Apo Piaget Geneva Trip -
Noteworthy things so far: [here] and to point it out again, Apo wore a very green airport look for the flight to Geneva.
But that didn't stop him from wearing and posting more green things:
1. Emeralds & Rubies:
Tumblr media
In case you didn't know red is both a favorite color of Apo and Mile.
2. Elizabeth Taylor Jade watch:
Tumblr media
Side note: Look what Mama Rom commented. Is it about the watch or about Apo? 🤭
Tumblr media
3. Watch & Brooch to the evening event:
Tumblr media
4. The Piaget watch that caught his eye*:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*He said this green one caught his eye the most in this IG Reel: [here]
Next thing: Cute moment from the second Pond live:
Pond mentioned Mile's trip to Korea for Rimowa and Apo visibly became more attentive at the mention of his name and said: "Please take care of P'Mile too na".
Meanwhile Mile in BKK:
1. Yesterday right after the live ended, Mile posted an IGs from his side account.
2. Later he shared from husbandsparis again:
Tumblr media
3. And he spend time with friends:
Tumblr media
What is the coincidence? Well they either went out very long or Mile stayed up late for a different reason like Apo having his late evening event in Geneva at that time, because he was still online after 4 a.m. Thai time and that's rather late even for him.
For reference he shared this at 1 a.m. and stuff like this usually isn't posted in real time.
4. Mile posted his DFF Promo IGs while Apo (Pond & Mos) were live for the third time today.
