![]() In zerotree based image compression scheme such as EZW and SPIHT, the intent is to use the statistical properties of the trees in order to efficiently code the locations of the significant coefficients. We use children to refer to directly connected nodes lower in the tree and descendants to refer to all nodes which are below a particular node in the tree, even if not directly connected. Due to this, we use the terms node and coefficient interchangeably, and when we refer to the children of a coefficient, we mean the child coefficients of the node in the tree where that coefficient is located. However where high frequency information does occur (such as edges in the image) this is particularly important in terms of human perception of the image quality, and thus must be represented accurately in any high quality coding scheme.īy considering the transformed coefficients as a tree (or trees) with the lowest frequency coefficients at the root node and with the children of each tree node being the spatially related coefficients in the next higher frequency subband, there is a high probability that one or more subtrees will consist entirely of coefficients which are zero or nearly zero, such subtrees are called zerotrees. This occurs because "real world" images tend to contain mostly low frequency information (highly correlated). high compression ratios) most of the coefficients produced by a subband transform (such as the wavelet transform) will be zero, or very close to zero. ![]() EZW (Embedded Zerotrees of Wavelet Transforms) is a lossy image compression algorithm.

![]() There’s always been a performance expectation in the Black church. Photograph: Rich Fury/Getty Images for Coachella Kanye West performs Sunday Service during the 2019 Coachella festival. Parishioners don’t just want a silver tongue, holy hands and a whiff of fire and brimstone. Todd’s Sunday sermons, which have seen him set against an Imax-quality display, sometimes while standing on a stage pooled with water or in a driving artificial rain – are as ambitious as anything you’d see on a Vegas proscenium. Increasingly, they’re finding themselves pitted against the mainstream likes of Kanye West, whose viral Sunday Service productions have only further blurred the line between spiritual and secular. Well before the pandemic, Black churches were scrambling to capture these short attention spans with flashy PowerPoints, studio-grade musicianship, concert-quality light displays and similarly high production values. ![]() And even though African Americans remain the most church-going demographic – with a 40% attendance rate that’s almost 10 points higher than the national average, according to a Barna survey – young Black people lag well behind older generations in their weekly church engagement. It’s a style that Black politicians – not least Barack Obama – often drop into when preaching to the choir on the campaign trail. With his father as a pulpit mentor, Martin Luther King Jr elevated this elocution style into an historic second act as a civil rights icon and touring public speaker. It used to be that the Baptist preacher didn’t need much in the way of frills he (usually a he) was the show – needing only a bit of gospel organ, a catchy refrain and a dash of the holy spirit to move the crowd. The principle of what he’s doing is very, very difficult Cean James, Philadelphia Salt & Light ministries “The principle of what he’s doing is very, very difficult,” says Cean James, the 47-year-old leader of Philadelphia Salt & Light ministries. And it was only a matter of time before Todd reached them. How social media became a new stageįor more than a decade, these preacher-influencers have been spreading the gospel to reach souls spending more of their lives in front of screens. It’s definitely not the kind of thing you can imagine hearing from Jesse Jackson. When memes like the Silhouette Challenge go viral, Todd isn’t just aware he has a whole tangent in a sermon about “men anchoring their families” in which he discourages young ladies from “being impressive” with their bodies – an aside met with considerable pushback from secular feminists who’d long written off the Black church as overly paternalistic. He promotes family on TikTok and parades fashion on Instagram. In Georgia there’s Jamal Bryant, a preacher’s kid turned megachurch leader who sometimes appears alongside his ex-wife on The Real Housewives of Potomac.īut none is as of-the-moment as Todd – whose second book, Crazy Faith: It’s Only Crazy Until It Happens, could just as easily describe his viral clip. In South Carolina, there’s the Oprah-approved John Gray. In this Covid-addled chapter of the internet age, the 35-year-old Todd epitomizes a new brand of holy man – the preacher-influencer. “It’s never my intention to distract others from God’s Word and the message of Jesus … even with illustrations!” Within days, Todd predictably reappeared on camera to apologize for his “too extreme and too disgusting” example. ![]() “If your pastor rubs spit on your face”, quipped the Rev Dr Chuck Currie, a United Church of Christ minister, “find a new pastor.” Still, a fair few came to Todd’s defense, some making a case for saliva’s medicinal properties and others making a broader case for nastier offenses other shepherds have committed against their flocks. “God wasn’t nowhere near that,” snarked the Root’s Shanelle Genai. The internet broke into fits at first sight of this clip. Gizelle Bryant and Jamal Bryant attend the Atlanta UNCF Mayor’s Masked Ball in 2019. ![]() Shipping fees must be entirely financed by the user doing the giveaway (limiting the winner's location is allowed).

There’s strategy in deciding what ‘tricks’ you most want to win or rank lowest in, so this is a hand management game, but mostly you can’t be sure that you’re playing the highest or lowest card so there’s also a push-your-luck element.

Phil's bombs blow a speaker in the climactic middle solo. only to discover its Miracle! Nice recovery and worked out great (same key). Okay, the Dead are ON this set so let's enjoy the ride! After nice playing thru drums/space, Phil plays the bass intro to The Other One. Listen how they "share" the space, weaving in and out of the available space provided. before breaking into one of my favorite Music Never Stopped ever, followed by my favorite (by FAR!) Tom Thumbs Blues with Phil in his dog t-shirt. Second set Bobby re-assured us that they're still "singing in the rain" (superfluous statement at best -)). My first set highlights are Comes a Time due do it's painful beauty and gorgeous guitar solo & Deal cause the end solo really smokes- though short. so I'll sing 5 of the 7 first set tunes Bob. Don't see Jerry in a blazer too often! Hmmm? My voice is rough. From Cold Rain on we could tell his voice was reaching the point of no return. Wonderful smallish crowd happy to be out in the rain to experience our favorite band in the land of Hershey.įirst of all, it always amazed me in '85 that when Jerry's voice was really struggling he made himself not only sing more songs- but more difficult ones! This show epitomized his work ethic. We're talking wet here folks! Cats and dogs with no break in sight. I was at this show on the grass maybe 12 rows back on Jer's side.having made the long wet overnight trek from Saratoga (my hometown). For some cosmic reason Healy played 'The Dark Side of the Moon' in its entirety and his choice provided the PERFECT “set and setting” for an incredible night of music and fun. This was also the first show at which the pre show music selection really hit home for me. I repeated his words to myself, under my breath and the dude in front of me turned around and put his forefinger to his lips and went “Shhhhh.” This really blew my mind!!! Later, during Not Fade Away I distinctly heard Bobby say, “Everybody ready?” at a point during the song intro when he was NOWHERE near his mic stand. This pic must have been made while Phil was singing Tom Thumb Blues (see photo's section of ) which was quite heavy for me as I and my concert going buddy Al were both out of our minds (and bodies.)
