 Digital Light Processing

  DLP

 Short for Digital Light Processing, DLP is a technology developed by Texas Instruments used for projecting images from a monitor onto a large screen for presentations. 

Prior to the development of DLP, most computer projection systems were based on LCD technology which tends to produce faded and blurry images.

 DLP uses tiny mirrors housed on a special kind of microchip called a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). 

The result is sharp images that can be clearly seen even in a normally lit room, or on the back of the house, or houses.  You pick the place or places.

 Simulation of depth for 3D projectors.

 A 3D projector is used to map three-dimensional data to a two-dimensional surface such as a screen or a wall.

 As opposed to images from a traditional projector, those from a 3D projection allows the viewer to sense depth.

⁴ And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

What's Next For Our President and First Lady of the United States?

Barack Hussein Obama II

  (/bəˈrɑːk huːˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə/ (listen);^[1] 

born August 4, 1961) 

He is an American politician and attorney who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama was the first African-American president of the United States. He previously served as a U.S. senator from Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004. 


Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. After graduating from Columbia University in 1983, he worked as a community organizer in Chicago. In 1988, he enrolled in Harvard Law School, where he was the first black person to head the Harvard Law Review.


After graduating, he became a civil rights attorney and an academic, teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. Turning to elective politics, he represented the 13th district from 1997 until 2004 in the Illinois Senate, when he ran for the U.S. Senate.


Obama received national attention in 2004 with his March Senate-primary win, his well-received July Democratic National Convention keynote address, and his landslide November election to the Senate.

There Is A Crisis With Water In The World

 


 As a result, some 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to water, and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year. 

Inadequate sanitation is also a problem for 2.4 billion people—they are exposed to diseases, such as cholera and typhoid fever, and other water-borne illnesses.

Eternal Word Ministries ----But What About Flint Michigan's Water --- Right Here In America

 


 A story of environmental injustice and bad decision making, the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, began in 2014, when the city switched its drinking water supply from Detroit’s system to the Flint River in a cost-saving move.

 Inadequate treatment and testing of the water resulted in a series of major water quality and health issues for Flint residents—issues that were chronically ignored, overlooked, and discounted by government officials even as complaints mounted that the foul-smelling, discolored, and off-tasting water piped into Flint homes for 18 months was causing skin rashes, hair loss, and itchy skin.


 The Michigan Civil Rights Commission, a state-established body, concluded that the poor governmental response to the Flint crisis was a “result of systemic racism.”

What is a DLP Projector?

Imagine projecting a huge image using millions of tiny, little mirrors. That’s exactly how DLP® projectors work. The advantage of using so many mirrors is simple. More mirrors. More pixels. The more pixels, the sharper the image.

By packing millions of mirrors into a tiny space, DLP projectors deliver stunning images. DLP technology is widely used in education, business, and home entertainment. It’s even the number one technology in cinema – used in 85% of all movie theaters. 

What is a DLP Projector?

 

DLP stands for Digital Light Processing. DLP projectors beam light through a color wheel, reflection mirrors, then finally a lens. 

Developed by Texas Instruments®, the DLP chip, aka digital micromirror device (DMD), differentiates DLP from LCD projectors.




Each mirror on a DLP chip is about the size of a red blood cell. These mirrors (magnified above) manipulate light to create an image.

 The mirrors must change position on a microscopic suspension hinge at incredible speeds. Up to 16 million cycles per second.

Each mirror creates an image in response to video source data. In the “On” position, the mirror reflects light toward the screen, creating a visible pixel.

 In the “Off” position, mirrors reflect light away from the projection lens. This prevents light from traveling onto the screen.

Water Crisis

• The human right to safe drinking water was first recognized by the UN General Assembly and the Human Rights Council as part of binding international law in 2010. (UN, 2010)
• The human right to sanitation was explicitly recognized as a distinct right by the UN General Assembly in 2015. (UN, 2016)
• Studies in Africa and Asia show that the poorest 20% of the population spend between 3 to 11% of their household income on water. This calculation does not include the cost of the time women spend on collecting water and managing water and sanitation facilities. (UNDP, 2006).
• Indigenous and tribal peoples care for an estimated 22% of the Earth’s surface, and protect nearly 80% of the remaining biodiversity on the planet, while representing only 5% of the world’s population (ILO, 2017).

The Water Crisis In The World

 



Safely managed drinking water and sanitation services means drinking water free of contamination that is available at home when needed, and toilets whereby excreta are treated and disposed of safely.

Basic services mean having a protected drinking water source that takes less than thirty minutes to collect water from, using an improved toilet or latrine that does not have to be shared with other households, and having handwashing facilities with soap and water in the home.

Sustainable Development Goal 6 is to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. The JMP monitors progress on the following two targets: 

• Target 6.1: By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe water and sanitation for all.
• Target 6.2 By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations.

 
The JMP also contributes to monitoring of SDG 1 “to end poverty in all its forms everywhere”, and “to SDG 4 to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by contributing data on basic water, sanitation and hygiene for the following targets:

• Target 1.4: By 2030, ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic services.
• Target 4.a: Build and upgrade education facilities that are child, disability and gender sensitive and provide safe, non-violent, inclusive and effective learning environments for all.

Yes, Water Is A Human Right

 

Human Rights to Water and Sanitation

Access to water and sanitation are recognized by the United Nations as human rights, reflecting the fundamental nature of these basics in every person’s life.

 

 Lack of access to safe, sufficient and affordable water, sanitation and hygiene facilities has a devastating effect on the health, dignity and prosperity of billions of people, and has significant consequences for the realization of other human rights. 

 People are rights-holders and States are duty-bearers of providing water and sanitation services.

 Rights-holders can claim their rights and duty-bearers must guarantee the rights to water and sanitation equally and without discrimination.

How Many People Lack Access To Safe Water

Of the 2.1 billion people who do not have safely managed water, 844 million do not have even a basic drinking water service. 

This includes 263 million people who have to spend over 30 minutes per trip collecting water from sources outside the home, and 159 million who still drink untreated water from surface water sources, such as streams or lakes. 

In 90 countries, progress towards basic sanitation is too slow, meaning they will not reach universal coverage by 2030.
Of the 4.5 billion people who do not have safely managed sanitation, 2.3 billion still do not have basic sanitation services. 

This includes 600 million people who share a toilet or latrine with other households, and 892 million people – mostly in rural areas – who defecate in the open. Due to population growth, open defecation is increasing in sub-Saharan Africa and Oceania. 

Good hygiene is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent the spread of disease. 

For the first time, the SDGs are monitoring the percentage of people who have facilities to wash their hands at home with soap and water.

 According to the new report, access to water and soap for handwashing varies immensely in the 70 countries with available data, from 15 per cent of the population in sub-Saharan Africa to 76 per cent in western Asia and northern Africa.
