CELEB COUPLES
Meet the Celebrity Style Squads That Rule Met Gala

The Met Gala is full of style surprises.
Every year, stars show up to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the most glamorous, over-the-top, sometimes-controversial looks of the year. While there is always a theme, to promote the museum's current fashion exhibition (this year's is "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination"), which naturally calls for fresh, awe-inspiring ensembles, there are some red carpet fashions that stay constant.
For instance, we know stars like Rihanna and Katy Perry will fully embrace the theme and display the most extra looks to our delight. We know a few celebrities won't shy away from flaunting their best assets—Madonna, we're looking about you. We know a crop of stars and designers will stay true to their personal aesthetics—despite the theme—and wear and create pretty-yet-expected gowns.
Judging from Met Gala past, we're starting to see patterns. Those patterns are giving us major insight into what could possibly go down come the first Monday in May.

The Show-Stoppers: Hold the phone! Stop the (digital!) presses! We've been waiting all night to see these celebrities. Why? They bring the drama. With the help of their assigned designer, these stars wear the most over-the-top, outside-the-box ensembles. If they aren't co-hosting the event, like Katy did last year or how Riri will this year, which means they open the carpet and set the style standard for the rest of the celebrity cadre, they are closing down the carpet, like Beyoncé. We wait on pins and needles for Bey to show...if she even does. Most likely she'll be late, but the wait is worth it because the unexpected is expected. Think: high ponytails paired with a Givenchy Haute Couture naked dress. We can't forget the time B came in nude latex! Whether it's Rihanna, Katy or Nicki Minaj, these are the stars who steal the show. And love or hate it, we will talk about their looks for days.
The Classics: On the flip side of Riri and Bey's extra-ness lives Gwyneth Paltrow's simple elegance or Gisele Bunchen's effortless sophistication. This style tribe doesn't need bells and whistles or even volume, but rather exudes confidence in clean lines and simple silhouettes. You'll often find Reese Witherspoon in this category and sometimes Kate Hudson, but supermodels seemingly live in this space, letting their natural beauty say it all. It can be a little too safe sometimes, especially for such a high-profile event, but it always works.
The Honorable Mentions: The Met Gala is a time to shine, but most importantly, it's a platform to bring awareness and support the Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibit. The stars in this group take the theme to heart, whether that means they look "pretty" or not. In 2017, Tracee Ellis Ross wore Comme des Garçons, the theme of last year's gala, and the look featured the volume, structure and tension that designer Rei Kawakubo is known for. But you needn't a direct relationship with the theme to partake. For instance, in 2015, Solange embraced the "China: Through the Looking Glass" theme with a printed Giles mini-dress that doubled as an optical illusion. The crop of stars in this category deserve respect because they aren't just trying to entertain us with their looks—they are trying to teach us something as well.
The Risk-Takers: This group of ladies love to show skin. There isn't a naked dress or bodysuit they didn't like. They keep things on what can be a stuffy red carpet interesting, and we're here for it. It's not just about flaunting what their mama gave them either—while these ensembles may seem revealing, they make you pay closer attention to the quality fabrication that keeps the delicate lace together...or what keeps the thousands of Swarovski crystals threaded together. This is fashion at the highest level, after all.
The Princesses: What's a ball without a ball gown? There are not so many times a star can wear a full-body dress on the red carpet. Even the Golden Globes or Oscars are somewhat streamlined in style. But the Met Gala provides ample opportunity to turn up the skirt volume. If you think this is a place for Cinderella, think again. This group of stars are modern-day princesses, bringing a fresh take to the somewhat antiquated look. In 2017, Lily Rose Depp embraced her youth in a hot-pink Chanel gown, while Lily Collins decided to go a more goth approach in Giambattista Valli. The stars in this group know how to make an impact, in the graceful way possible.

Revisiting an old post today, as I reflect on a follow-up trip to Charlotte this past weekend. A sequel post is coming! And I think refreshing your memory on what happened the last time I was there will make it even better.
Enjoy, thanks for reading, and as always — share!
A year and a half ago I met a girl who was healing from the deep wounds of a broken off engagement in the previous year. As God would have it I was newly engaged at the time, and my excitement met her brokenness in a way that seemed like it should have been abrasive, but ended up being unusually complementary.
This girl, Calli, was my best friend's roommate, so we spent five days together sharing stories and growing a friendship that I treasure deeply to this day. I'll never forget sitting around a dining room table on Crescent Avenue in Charlotte, North Carolina, praying over her with my two friends that lived with her and getting to speak truth and life into her most painful places. There was a bond that formed in that place that still remains.
← WORDS: It is written.


…Just as I felt compelled to respond to Michael Arrington when he attacked the work I (and my team) did at Engadget, I am now responding to Marco Arment, John Gruber, and anyone else who sets up a minimal Wordpress blog and thinks that the ability to publish text onto the internet gives them insight into what journalism is or what I do for a living.
First of all, Joshua, what the hell? Didn't you read my post? I don't have a minimal Wordpress blog1 so…we're cool?
I get Topolsky's knee-jerk reaction in publishing this post, though for the life of me I don't understand why he took to his personal blog and not The Verge's forums, let alone publishing an editorial comment on Verge proper.2 He has been hurt by two of the tech community's heaviest hitters, so he's upset or trying to rally his troops or whatever.
But let's enter Topolsky's universe for a second.
Without going down a rabbit hole of he-said she-said, Marco and Gruber are just basically wrong. We of course mention this kind of thing all the time in our writing. Like here, and here, for instance — in reviews especially, where that kind of critique is actually useful. Here's our senior editor Paul Miller talking about it in 2009. You guys getting this over there? Welcome to three years ago.
Ever since I published my explanation of why I'm done with The Verge and read reactions from others, I've been trying to understand what it is that makes Topolsky's site what it is. This paragraph gets to the heart of why I think people like Arment, Gruber, Ben Brooks and myself have so much trouble reading them.
Here goes: The Verge, it seems, is primarily aimed at people who read The Verge. You think they don't mention Apple? They did! Two months ago! Eight months ago too! Listen to The Vergecast. Read the rest of the site. Everything is there.
On what planet is disclosure a suggestion?
I'm not being funny here. Rather I think this mindset is endemic to what Topolsky and company have built.
In Bishop's mind and the minds of every Verge employee, I'll bet, the disclosure wasn't necessary because readers could do the footwork themselves, as reader "slipslip" did, and figure out that Johnson went to school with Bishop. From their point of view, they never obfuscated their relationship; it's right there on another page. Don't you read The Verge?

Informing Con Edison's climate resilience and adaptation plan
Con Edison is changing how it plans and designs its energy delivery systems to be more resilient against climate-related events—and we're helping to shape the journey
Extreme heat waves, damaging floods exacerbated by sea level rise, and devastating wildfires. Utilities increasingly face these low-probability, high-impact challenges and the impacts from spikes in energy consumption and service disruptions. With our help, Con Edison is changing how it plans and designs its energy delivery systems to be more resilient against the intensifying effects of these climate-related events.
In its industry-leading "Climate Change Resilience and Adaptation: Summary of 2020 Activities report, Con Edison details its forward-looking approach to incorporating climate change into its planning, design, operations, and emergency response.
"By establishing a clear pathway of anticipated change and integrating forward-looking climate information into core aspects of its business, Con Edison has the right foundation to manage risks from a changing climate." — Anne Choate, senior vice president and head of ICF's Energy, Environment, and Infrastructure operating group
We're proud to have played a role in the advancement of this new way of thinking. We led the integration of climate science with energy system planning and investment processes. Facilitated stakeholder engagement with 50+ municipal and state officials, consumer advocates, environmental groups, and client experts. Provided governance benchmarking. All these efforts informed the development of Con Edison's climate change implementation plan and internal adaptation planning and design guidelines.
"We compiled local sea-level rise projections across a range of climate change scenarios for Con Edison. We then interpreted several underlying considerations to develop a recommended approach for changing Con Edison's flood design standard, including the state of the science, local benchmarking, system sensitivity, co-benefits, and the company's past approach to considering sea-level rise in design," explains our climate resilience expert Brenda Dix. Brenda has been evaluating the physical impacts of climate change and extreme weather on infrastructure systems and developing comprehensive adaptation plans for the last decade, and knows firsthand how this work helps utilities and their communities.
As a result, Con Edison's updated flood-design standard requires that new facilities are designed to be resilient to sea-level rise for as long as they are expected to be in operation. For example, facilities built for 80 years of operation must be able to accommodate an additional three feet of sea level rise.
"Armed with this adaptive and proactive plan, Con Edison can make better investment decisions, protect its assets and workers, and support the resilience of its customers. We are proud to partner with them to set a new standard for climate resilience not only in New York, but across the country." — Anne Choate

Key hearing approaches for teen murder…
Key hearing approaches for teen murder defendant in Richmond freeway shooting
Three alleged gang members arrested
By Nate Gartrell | ngartrell@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: September 3, 2019 at 7:00 am | UPDATED: September 3, 2019 at 7:03 am
MARTINEZ — A Contra Costa judge is scheduled to review the case against a 19-year-old who's facing murder and special allegation charges in connection with a 2017 fatal freeway shooting.
Lonnie Hopkins Jr. is set to have a preliminary hearing on Sept. 11, where a judge will review the case and decide if there is enough evidence to order Hopkins to stand trial. The legal standard is probable cause, far below what is required for a jury conviction.
Hopkins has two co-defendants — Bryan J. Anderson, 19, and Elliot Johnhenry Johnson, 25 — who are being tried separately. The three have been charged with murdering Demarcus Doss, 24, of Pinole, and trying to murder Doss' girlfriend, who was also in the car.
The shooting took place on March 9, 2017. Doss and his girlfriend were stuck in rush hour traffic on Interstate 80 in Richmond, when someone in another car opened fire on them. Doss used his own body to shield his girlfriend, and was struck several times. He died later that day.
Doss' girlfriend was hit in the finger, but survived the shooting.
At the time of the shooting, Anderson and Hopkins were both 17. Hopkins was just days away from his 18th birthday, according to court records.
Johnson has been identified by police as a shooter, and Anderson as the driver. It is unclear what role Hopkins is alleged to have played in the shooting. The suspected motive of the shooting has not been publicly revealed.
Police testified that Doss or his girlfriend may have had a mutual acquaintance with one of the defendants. The defendants are all suspected to be members of a Richmond street gang, but police say Doss had no gang ties.
Hopkins' bail has been set at $6.08 million, according to court records. He has remained in county jail since his 2017 arrest.

Can anyone help me how to fix it, i am a NOOB :-)
Many thanks in advance!

A: Your "text-indent:-9000px;" is the problem. The anchor tag is assigned to the reply text. Since you are using "text-indent:-9000px;", it makes the reply text disappear from your view, due to the high value of 9000px.
Remove the line "text-indent:-9000px;" or reduce the value to -5px or 10px, in your css code. Then your button will work I guess. Hope this helps you.

We all know what electrical outlets and switches are, and that it is a standard for every home to have. Wiring devices power our home appliances as well as to lighten the whole house. Receptacles provide a safer port where appliances can connect and power up. Switches on the other hand, are used to turn-on and turn-off the lights without a direct contact to its wires.

Meiji outlets has an accommodating screw-type terminals made perfectly for the standard solid and stranded wires. A screw-type terminal has many advantages over the Snap-On type. For one, with the Snap-On type you cannot retighten the terminals, you must buy a new one. The Meiji screw-type terminal can be easily retightened with a twist of a screw. Another great feature is that, Meiji wiring devices has interchangeable parts and can be mixed and matched with one another. Just remember not to combine low voltage (telephone) and high voltage (outlet) physically in the same set to avoid any damage to your appliances during a short.
When it comes to designs, white is the standard color for wiring devices. But if you want to attractively match these durable switches and outlets to your interior design, Meiji Champagne Series is just right for you! With the new elegant look from champagne-colored and pure stainless steel cover, your home design will definitely look better and classier.

How To Play Great Private Golf Clubs Without A Membership
Similar private club playing opportunities can increasingly be found all over the country, with or without lodging. Where I live in Northern New England there are not a lot of good daily fee courses to choose from, but there are a few excellent private clubs, including New Hampshire's standout Montcalm Golf Club, one of the highest rated courses in the Granite State. For years Montcalm struggled to retain enough members under its original owner, but the club recently changed hands and the new owners have been welcoming both members and outside guests.

Resettlement colonies to get ownership rights
Written by Admin Friday, 13 September 2013
New Delhi, September 2
In 2008, it was provisional certificates for the residents of unauthorized colonies, distributed by the Congress, that helped the party win a third consecutive term in the national Capital. In a similar act, the party this year has decided to issue ownership certificates to the residents of resettlement colonies in the city.
While it was Congress chief Sonia Gandhi who had distributed the provisional certificates during a function at Chhatrasal Stadium before 2008 polls, this time, the ownership certificates will be given out by Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi at a grand function to be held in Yamuna Sports complex, East Delhi.
The certificates will be distributed on September 10 around two months before the Delhi Assembly elections. The polls are scheduled to take place by November.
There are around 51 resettlement colonies in Delhi which house around 40 lakh people. These colonies were made to settle the inhabitants of JJ clusters and slums from various parts of the city between 1960 and 1975. They were provided with plots ranging from 25 to 80 yards most of which have turned into four-storyed buildings today.
The plots were given on lease by the government and the residents do not have ownership rights till date. They cannot sell or purchase the property.
Keeping in view the success brought by the distribution of provisional certificate to the unauthorized colonies just before the last assembly elections, the Congress has decided to give out permanent certificates to the residents of those unauthorized colonies which were regularized recently.
The party is gearing up to organize a huge rally in Yamuna Sports complex where the residents of both the resettlement and unauthorized colonies will be invited and handed over the certificates.
With an eye on the polls, the Delhi Government had also launched Food Security Scheme in the city last month. The scheme was inaugurated by Sonia Gandhi on August 20. The government has claimed to extend the benefits of the scheme to 70 lakh poor people in the city.
< Ownership papers to resettlement colonies, a farce: BJP
40 city forests developed, says Dikshit >

In this article, Clem Chambers does a good work breaking and explaining 5 myths about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Doubts like "is Bitcoin a bubble?" and "what is the real value of one Bitcoin?" are explained in an easy way. Following is a piece of his text – if you wanna read everything, you'll need go to that article.
No-coiners don't 'get bitcoin' due to the fact to know it you must personal it and use it. It is even greater to mine it to produce the mental jump.
For me it was mining as my old 1060 notebook could mine and so I switched on Nicehash application and it told me I was going to create $1.50 each day in bitcoin for just getting me and my old notebook and getting type adequate to run the software. Not that I was anyone who gave any private information. They didn't want me to register, they didn't want proof of my identity, my e-mail or my mobile. They didn't desire to listen to my microphone like Microsoft plus a few other people with their 'fluffy' clouds praying to prey on my 'selfish ledger' of data, they just wanted my hash address.
In that moment I went from very skeptical to a total convert.
My laptop was at last paying me for absolutely nothing. "I was generating cash at residence with my computer" for genuine just just like the scammers had promised for the 25 years I had been online. The moment had arrived when I was going to become paid for merely current and getting a laptop. The thermodynamics of money and economics had reversed, and cash was going to flow to me in the globe as an alternative to flow from me. Existence was now an asset not a liability.
It is a bitcoiner epiphany.
But with out such a moment these 5 questions come to thoughts to "no-coiners" and right here would be the answers.
Most traders will use both the basic strategy and also the technical evaluation to understand the trends and signals. In a best globe, I'd not even be taking into consideration making use of Bitcoin. You ought to determine soon if this solution is right for you personally.


The blonde Betty Draper, January Jones, hasn't always been blonde. In fact, over the course of this last year, she has dyed her hair four times. "I've been blonde, red with extensions for this film, then blonde, then black, and now blonde again," she recently said in a press interview to promote her new film. She joked with the interviewer that if she had to dye her hair one more time that it would probably start "falling out in clumps." But all laughs aside, you can over-process your hair and it can lead to hair loss.
While there are certain factors that can cause hair loss (hormones, genetics and medical conditions), hairstylists say that over-processing your hair can also cause balding. "When coloring your hair you are removing proteins, lipids and water that are naturally in the hair fiber," says celebrity hairstylist Sherry Ratay. Coloring very often and in close succession causes the follicle and shaft of the hair to weaken, resulting in breakage and loss of hair.
Blonde hair color, in particular, is the harshest on your hair. "If you are not a natural blonde, you will need to use hair bleach, and in the wrong hands … it could be a disaster," says Ratay. "Now if done correctly and there is proper homecare usage, it is perfectly fine."
Hair type also plays a role in how likely you are to lose hair from too much dye. "We must ALL remember that hair is and should always be analyzed as a delicate piece of fabric. If you had two pieces of fabric; a linin dress and a jean dress, you can only do so much to the linen dress before it disintegrate away. A jean dress on the other hand, you can be rough and tough for quite some time. This is how we need to think of our hair fiber," she says. If you have fine to medium hair like January, your hair needs to be treated more delicately. If you have naturally thick course hair, it can take more processing.

DAFB students learn about parent deployment
When personnel from Dover Air Force Base receive their orders to deploy, one of the toughest things they face is preparing their children.
At Dover and other bases around the country, the Air Force has been helping make this time a little easier with its Kids Understanding Deployment Operations/Teachers Understanding Deployment Operations program.
More than 240 students, 50 volunteers and 15 to 20 teachers took part in the program Tuesday, all with the same goal.
"This is an opportunity to showcase what service members go through to prepare for deployment," said Lt. Col. Marshall Preston, who was overseeing the operation. "It's a chance for the students here to see what deployment looks like in the beginning and through each step. The students get an opportunity to walk in their parents' boots."
Students ages 5 to 15 were told Tuesday their parents were deploying to Djibouti, Africa and Jordan and then walked through the same steps – only abbreviated – their parents do when they get their orders.
STORY: Dover AFB's biggest jets returning September
STORY: Family is focus of Del. Air National Guard homecoming
From a briefing about the country itself and the insects and animals that are there to how bags and equipment are taken to C-5 cargo planes, the students got a feel for an actual deployment. Master Sgt. Ruben Mojica was in charge of putting together the team of volunteers. He has taken part in all three years of the program and believes it is a way for children to feel less anxiety about their parents deploying.
"A lot of times, parents don't tell kids what they are going through," Mojica said. "Teachers benefit from the program because they know if kids are acting out, it usually means the parents are deployed or getting ready to deploy."
Alexis Whitfield has been through this before. While her mother is still stationed at Dover, she said her father has been deployed in the past.
"It was really hard," she said. "He had to be gone for a really long time and I missed him a lot."
The program is helping second-grader Meriya Page understand more about what her parents do and about the deployment process.
"I think this is helping me," she said. "I was sad when my dad was gone."
After the students learned about some of the things their parents do while on base – from being a police officer to what the bomb squad does and what a gas mask is, to name a few, the program concluded with a mock coming home ceremony, much like the real thing when parents come home from deployment.
"This is an excellent program," said Kristy Grove, the base's teen coordinator. "When these students come home and see their parents packing and they hear the word deployment, they know what is going on. They have something they can discuss."

For many UK users, the name Morph will bring back memories of a little brown chap made of Plasticine, but in the music technology world, it's a "real-time structural audio morphing plugin". Originally developed by Prosoniq, this is now in the hands of Zynaptiq, and has just been updated to version 2.
Offering five structural audio morphing algorithms (some of which are new for this version), the plugin enables you to morph between two input channels or an input and sidechain. There are dual morphing circuits with a crossfade option, and a new formant shifter.
We're told to think of its effect as "the sonic equivalent of one object slowly changing its shape to become a different object - for example, one face becoming another."
Check out the video above for a taste of what Morph 2 has to offer. You can find out more on the Zynaptiq website, where the plugin is available in AU, AAX, RTAS and VST formats for PC and Mac. It costs $179/€199, though 1.x users can upgrade for $89/€99, and those who purchased after 1 October 2014 can upgrade for free.

The Photographers Gallery
Made You Look: Dandyism and Black Masculinity
In the 21st century, many black males are global trendsetters in fashion and music, despite a continued vulnerability and high arrest rates in the US and UK. Presented at The Photographers' Gallery, 'Made You Look' explores the historical dandyism and spirit of black community which has long prevailed in the face of stereotyping and oppression.
Through the collected works of photographers who have turned their lenses toward black subcultures across the globe, curator Ekow Eshun highlights dandyism "as radical personal politics, a willed flamboyance that flies in the face of conventional constructions of the black masculine."
Kristin Lee-Mountain's work in South Africa captures a young man dressing flamboyantly, in clothes that cross typical 'gender' boundaries. Malick Sidibe's commissioned project in post-colonial Mali shows a people determined to embrace their freedom and express their cultural identity.
Social documentary works from Colin Jones and Liz Johnson Arthur explore the visual identity of black communities on Western society's fringes. Dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson contemplatively blows smoke in an empty London pub; young residents of the Harambee Housing Project live in squalor but dress fashionably and hold their heads high; anonymous black men encountered on gritty London streets, could-be stylists, stand proud and triumphant before the camera.
Sapeurs of the Congo - who dress with style and integrity in spite of poverty - are striking examples of how dandyism has embodied the true identity of black masculinity. Western stereotypes wear shamefully thin in comparison.
Whilst 21st-century figures in hip-hop and r'n'b and men's fashion are world-leading, iconic and widely embraced, 'Made You Look' explores how and why this has been a necessary movement. Revealing sensitivity, integrity and a crucial expression of personal and communal identity, the exhibition is a long-overdue testament to the important personal and social politics behind dandyism.

Whether suffering through a business pitch or a classroom presentation or enjoying an evening of home theater blockbuster thrills, there's a good chance an LCD (liquid crystal display) projector is responsible for the light show.
The technology behind the LCD projector is nearly three decades old in 2012, but it remains one of the top digital projection technologies, alongside Digital Light Processing (DLP) projectors. Inventor Gene Dolgoff developed the first LCD projector in 1984, and both Epson and Sony continue to employ the technology in 21st century projectors.
The old method of film projection was simple: Each frame of the film was a tiny, translucent photograph. Shine light through the film and then have that light pass through an imaging lens and you'd display a larger version of that tiny image onto a wall or screen.
LCD projectors work a little differently. A beam of high-intensity light travels through thousands of shifting pixels in an LCD display instead of through a frame of translucent film. And these projectors don't just use a single LCD display either -- they use three, which is why they're also called 3LCD projectors. The light splits into three hues, then travels through three LCDs before recombining in a prism to generate the crisp, colorful image projected on the screen.
Still sound like magic? Well, let's walk through the process at a slower pace, beginning with the lamp and ending on the big screen.
So grab your popcorn. Settle back in your seat. Turn off your phone and prepare to break some light.
To understand how an LCD projector works, it's best to start at the beginning -- with a beam of light -- and end on the movie screen itself.
Step one: A powerful light source emits a beam of intense, white light.
Step two: Our beam of white light bounces off a group of mirrors that includes two dichroic mirrors, which are coated in a special film that reflects only a specified wavelength of light. You know how a prism (or a droplet of water) breaks a beam of light into distinct wavelengths (or a rainbow of colors)? The same principle applies here, only each dichroic mirror breaks off a single specified wavelength. So the white light hits the mirrors, and each reflects a beam of colored light on through the projector: one red, one green and one blue.
Step three: The beams of red, green and blue light each pass through a liquid crystal display composed of thousands of tiny pixels. You can read How Liquid Crystal Displays Work for a more detailed explanation of LCD technology, but it comes down to tiny, colorless pixels that either block light or allow it to pass through when triggered by an electric current. All three of the LCD screens in the projector display the same image or moving images, only in gray scale. When the colored light passes through these three screens, they relay three versions of the same scene: one tinted red, one tinted green and one tinted blue.
Step four: But of course the final image we see isn't red, green or blue; it's full color. So inside the LCD projector, the three tinted versions of this scene recombine in a dichroic prism (a finely crafted combination of four triangular prisms) to form a single image composed of not three colors but millions of colors.
Step five: The light of this vibrant, colorful version of the scene then passes through a projector lens and onto the big screen.
That's really all there is to it. But what are the pros and cons of this technology?
Watch it on the big screen.
So what does an LCD projector do that its other projector peers can't? For starters, you don't have to worry about the film wearing out. LCD projectors depend on either outside data from a computer (connected by USB) or data from an inserted DVD. The digital images sent to the three LCD displays (and then recombined into a single picture) are as clear the first time you show the footage as the hundredth time you show it. The gray scale used in the three LCD displays allows for intense picture detail, and all for 25 percent less electricity than other digital projector technologies [source: 3LCD].
Unlike Digital Light Processing (DLP) projectors -– the other popular digital projection technology we mentioned -- LCD projectors don't experience the "rainbow effect," color flashes caused by the spinning color wheel inside DLP projectors. LCD projectors also benefit from higher contrast, allowing for sharper images.
DLP projectors, however, still dominate the high-end, professional projection scene. Catch a show at a major cinema and you're looking at light from a DLP projector worth more than $35,000. LCD projectors, on the other hand, will cost you anywhere between $200 and $9,000.
Like all gadgets, LCD projectors require a certain degree of care and upkeep. Although you don't have to worry about film quality degrading with use, individual pixels do burn out and reduce image quality. Dust particles can also collect on the LCD screens, smudging the image.
So the next time you take in a projected film at home or work, look and see what kind of projector is in use. If it's an LCD projector, just imagine those three tiny gray scale screens inside there and the recombined beams of light that bring it all to colorful life.

Jeff Rosenfeld is the vice president of customer insight and analytics for The Neiman Marcus Group, where he is responsible for leveraging analytics to drive revenue. His team focuses on personalization, web analytics, media-mix attribution, product and customer insight, and business intelligence.
While not at work, Rosenfeld serves as a board member for charity and academic institutions, is an instructor for the SMU CAPE Digital Analytics and Insights Certificate Program, and enjoys traveling with his family.
Rosenfeld recently participated in our "4 Questions for Marketing Innovators" series. As you're about to read, his topic of choice was very timely.
Personalization is a hot topic these days, but in a recent RIS News study on who does it best, "no one" was a top-ranking answer. This pains me to see as I know at Neiman Marcus we've done a lot of great work in this space and driven substantial incremental revenue as a result. That said, when we put ourselves in the customer's shoes, most of what the entire industry is doing today doesn't feel that personalized yet. On the bright side, this means there is substantial opportunity here to improve the customer experience.
Traditional loyalty programs have gotten a bit stale. Personalization is the new loyalty. Ironically, it was probably also the first form of loyalty between shop owners and their customers even thousands of years ago. As the world has gotten more digital, the personalization from a top sales associate has gotten harder to replicate.
Neiman Marcus is a 110-year-old brand with a legacy of great service and personalization. For most of that time, personalization has been primarily driven by our world-class sales associates. Our best sales associates do three things: They observe what customers say and do, they act on that information, and they remember those observations over time.
In the digital world, observing and remembering is easy. This is data collection. Acting on that data is the hard part. This is where the algorithms come in. The first step in acting on the data is having solid identity information. You can't personalize if you don't have a complete picture of how each customer interacts with your brand. Identity information generally comes in two flavors: people we probably know (probabilistic) and people we definitely know (deterministic).
Most of today's personalization for the entire industry is in the probabilistic bucket. At Neiman Marcus this includes machine-learning-driven actions, like product recommendations, private personalized offers, and working with partners like Coherent Path to help determine which of millions of possible combinations of email content will be most appealing to each customer. While these are critical to improving the customer experience and driving revenue, the average customer doesn't realize the extensive curation the algorithms do on their behalf. As a result, most people don't "feel" the degree to which their experience is personalized.
This is where the deterministic bucket comes in. Only when we can confidently link specific behaviors to unique individuals can we execute personalization that customers clearly realize is truly just for them. Beyond the basics, like cart-reminder emails and display remarketing, Neiman Marcus is doing things like remembering customers' filter preferences across sessions and our "quick links" predictive site navigation from email.

Refines a non-cryptographic interactive proof protocol. Can achieve much lower overhead than the other approaches but requires that computations be naturally parallelizable.
Introduces the remarkable QAP/QSP encoding, which is borrowed by many of the projects in the area. Pinocchio and Zaatar have similar performance except that Pinocchio has much better amortization behavior.
Introduces an innovative program representation and combines it with an optimized implementation of Pinocchio's verification engine. This approach brings excellent programmability (enabling support of the full C programming language) and the best amortization behavior in the literature but overhead is very high. Compared to Buffet, for example, programmability is slightly better but performance is orders of magnitude worse.
For a quick performance comparison, based on re-implementations of many of the systems, see this presentation (accompanies the Microsoft Faculty Summit video above). Also, the Buffet paper contains a careful, apples-to-apples performance comparison of BCTV and Pantry (and by extension, Pinocchio and Zaatar).

Gabrielle Giffords to be at the Final Launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour
Arizona Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, was shot in the head on January 8, 2011 and has been in recovery ever since. She has recovered at an unprecedented rate and is expected to be at the final launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavor in Cape Canaveral, Florida which her husband, Mark Kelly, is commanding, on Friday. Giffords is said to be slowly regaining her speech, and she can even walk short distances. Despite sustaining an injury that is typically fatal in most cases, doctors are amazed at how well she is doing in this short time span.
Dr. Dong Kim explained that there is no medical reason that would stop her from traveling safely to Florida to be at the final launch with her husband. The flight will last fourteen days and takes off at 3:47 PM on Friday, April 29, 2011. It will be NASA's 134th mission and the Endeavor's 25th and final flight. After the Endeavor safely returns to Earth, it will be put on display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Giffords is said to be perfectly fine with her husband taking off on this flight. Mark Kelly said he wouldn't be going without her consent; however, her speedy recovery reassures him that she will be fine.
Update: The scheduled April 29 flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour, which was "scuttled after a heater in one of the ship's hydraulic power generators failed", was duly rescheduled. On May 16, 2011, at 8:56AM EDT, Endeavour took off for NASA's penultimate shuttle flight.
Watch the maiden voyage of Space Shuttle Endeavour, STS-49, which took place on May 7, 1992.
National Geographic has posted a small sample of photos featuring the shuttle, each one breathtaking in their own right.

Lutherans are open about what we believe and confess. Lutherans are ready and willing to show that it is what the Bible teaches and what the ancient Church confessed. The following summary reveals where God's Word establishes our teaching and includes links where you can find the historic and official Lutheran confession of this truth.
*The only true God is the triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
*Every human being is conceived and born dead to God, is entirely predisposed to sin, is inherently without fear, love, or trust in God, and is lacking in the ability or will to turn toward God. Being entirely turned against God, each one is, therefore, under the sentence of eternal death and damnation.
*Jesus Christ is true God, eternally begotten of the Father, and at the same time true man, born of the Virgin Mary. He is the only Savior from sin and the only Mediator between God and humanity (John 1:1–3,14; 1 Timothy 2:5; 1 John 5:20; Acts 4:12), who: …by His perfect life and sacrificial death on the cross, has won the entire forgiveness of sins and eternal life for every human being, from the beginning to the end of the world (Romans 3:21–26; Galatians 4:4–5; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 John 2:2); …rose bodily from the dead on the third day (1 Cor. 15:3–5); and…now reigns at the right hand of God as Lord over all (Eph. 4:10–12).
*We are justified (declared 'not guilty') in the sight of God and rescued from sin, death, and damnation not by any works of our own, but solely by God's undeserved kindness, His grace given as a free gift through faith in Jesus Christ, whose perfect life and sacrificial death as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" fully atoned for our sins.
*The blessings and benefits of Jesus' saving death and resurrection (the forgiveness of sins, eternal life, and salvation) are offered, delivered, and applied to us by means of the Gospel in all its forms (the preached and written Word, Baptism, Absolution, Lord's Supper), through which the Holy Spirit works faith in Christ. To this end Christ has instituted the Office of the Ministry and sends pastors to preach and administer the holy sacraments in His stead and name.
*Good works, prayer, and holiness of life are the fruit of faith in Christ, not the cause of faith or salvation.
*The Holy Church is present wherever the Holy Spirit gathers believers around Jesus Christ and His gifts, that is, wherever the Gospel of Jesus Christ is purely preached and taught, and Holy Baptism, Holy Absolution, and Holy Communion are administered according to Christ's mandate and institution, even though unbelievers or hypocrites may also be numbered among those gathered.
*Holy Baptism, which is water applied in the Name of the Triune God according to Jesus' mandate and promise, works rebirth and renewal, delivers and applies the forgiveness of sins, joins the baptized to Jesus' death and resurrection, and grants eternal life and salvation to all who believe the promise of salvation attached to Baptism.
*Holy Absolution is the forgiveness of sins spoken by the pastor to a penitent sinner in Jesus' name. Absolution actually offers, delivers, and applies the forgiveness of sins to the repentant person with the full authority of the crucified, risen, and reigning Christ, so that the word of forgiveness in Holy Absolution is to be heard not as the word of the pastor, but as Christ our dear Lord speaking to us Himself.
*Holy Communion, or the Lord's Supper, is what Jesus said it is: His true body and blood, given under bread and wine, for Christians to eat and drink, so that through them they have the forgiveness of their sins.
*The Christian life is one of continual repentance and faith, from which flow good works as the fruit of faith.
*Our Lord Jesus Christ will visibly appear on the Last Day to raise the bodies of all the dead, to condemn to hell and eternal punishment all those who reject Him in unbelief (together with the devil and his demons), and to give eternal life to all who trust in Him for forgiveness, life, and salvation.
*Holy Scripture, or the Holy Bible, is the written Word of God. It is the very "breath of God" (inspired) and, therefore, without factual error (inerrant); it is the only source and final authority and judge of all teaching and teachers, of all practice and life (infallible). Holy Scripture preaches the saving death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the repentance and faith of the sinner.
*The Word of God is a two-fold word—the Law, which reveals our sin and seeks and kills the sinner, and the Gospel, which announces, offers, delivers, and applies the forgiveness of sins through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, creates faith in Him, and gives new life and identity to the believer in Christ.

Manchester United are ready to sell Paul Pogba next month.
The Mirror says United's £89million Frenchman has become such a divisive figure in the dressing room that club chiefs are now ready to flog him for a second time, less than three years after making the 25-year-old the most expensive player in the world.
Beleaguered boss Jose Mourinho has run out of patience with the midfielder.
But it is understood that United are now planning to cash in on Pogba next month regardless of whether Mourinho continues as manager.
United would like Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic, but are likely to have more success if they try to engineer a swap deal involving defender Alex Sandro.
He was watched by United scouts in the midweek Champions League game with Young Boys in Switzerland.

New York City to terminate Trump contracts after Capitol riot
Mayor Bill de Blasio says the Trump Organization earns about $17 million a year in profit from its contracts from two ice rinks, a carousel and a golf course in the city.

De Blasio said the Trump Organization earns about $17 million a year in profit from its contracts to run two ice skating rinks and a carousel in Central Park as well as a golf course in the Bronx.The city can legally terminate a contract if the leadership of a company is engaged in criminal activity, the Democratic mayor said. "Inciting an insurrection — let's be very clear, let's say the words again — inciting an insurrection against the United States government clearly constitutes criminal activity," he said.
AdvertisementA Trump Organization representative said the city can't cancel the contracts."The City of New York has no legal right to end our contracts and if they elect to proceed, they will owe The Trump Organization over $30 million," the representative said in an emailed statement. "This is nothing more than political discrimination, an attempt to infringe on the First Amendment and we plan to fight vigorously." headtopics.com

Democrats to take Senate as Ossoff wins runoff, CNN projects
The Democratic Party will take control of Congress for the first time in a decade, after Democrats the Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff won their Senate runoffs in Georgia, CNN projected Wednesday.
When it's discovered the Democrats were actually behind it I hope he sues them all. ProfJNMoyo USA is now worse than all undemocratic countries in Africa. In Africa they go after thier political opponents and try destroy them because of differences in views. They silence you. They bankrupt you...that is what America has become
Low lives,Trump will be fine. If only the city cared this much about a doubling in the number of shootings and a large spike in murders. 🤷♂. $17M dollars A YEAR down the drain. Think how many hours of criminal defense attorney time that would buy! Business is business NYC should be sued for cancelling Trump contracts. Prez Trump never incited the riot. Proof is coming out there were outside groups involved. Hatred, jealousy n the reach of the democratic machine is motivating the destruction of our President. America is watching!
Yup. They think they can erase him just like the ancients tried to do to the monuments and faces of those before them. He has outed who these self-righteous POSs are. CHUCK SCHUMER: I want to tell you...you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. Good!

Abstract : Recently, it was suggested that structure-from-motion be solved using generic tools which are exploitable for any kind of camera. The same challenge applies for the automatic reconstruction of 3D models from image sequences, which includes structure-from-motion. This article is a new step in this direction. First, a generic error model is introduced for central cameras. Second, this error model is systematically used in the 3D modeling process. The experiments are carried out in a context which has rarely been addressed until now: the automatic 3D modeling of scenes using a catadioptric camera.

A Beluga waterfall in the prestigious Mariinsky II Theatre of St Petersburg
In the heart of St Petersburg officially has opened the doors the Mariinsky II Theatre. The Opening Night Gala, conducted by the general director Valery Gergiev, featured Plácido Domingo and the president of Russia Vladimir Putin.
The new opera house connect to the historic stage of the Mariinsky Theatre, which opened in 1860, by a planned pedestrian bridge. Mariinsky II features seven stories and three underground levels, including a main auditorium, a 200-seat rooftop amphitheatre, a third-floor lobby amphitheatre, multiple rehearsal rooms, and production facilities for 2,500 staff.
Sparkling waterfalls of Beluga light up the huge lobby, whereas a series of Lumi light up a second concert hall.
The architecture has been edited by Diamond Schmitt Architects (Canada) and the structural engineering study was made by KB Vips of St. Petersburg.
