![]() The Sonos Connect Amp offers all the features you’d expect in a decent amplifier, but some interesting things that are Sonos-exclusive, like access to the Sonos ecosystem. It’s not going to sound bad, that’s for sure. The limit of 2.1 channels might dissuade you from using this for, say, a home theater setup with Dolby Atmos sound, but it can still be used that way if you’d like. This might mean it’s great to fill a room with high-quality music for a party or as part of your home theater/home entertainment system. Past that, the Sonos Connect Amp can power two speakers and a powered subwoofer anywhere you’d like. ![]() The RCA inputs (more on those below) allow this unit to take in sound directly, not just streamed from the Sonos app, so that you could pair this with a record player. Your living room, an entertainment space, or even a dedicated listening room. The most obvious use will be to power a two-channel system that is used for listening to streaming music. But the purpose of the device in your home audio system can vary a lot due to the flexibility of the hardware and the Sonos system. The thing that it does to audio directly is manage it such that you can amp it up and send it to two (left and right) speakers that are not themselves Sonos speakers. The Sonos Connect Amp (on Amazon) is a real swiss-army knife when it comes to your home audio system. ![]() Purpose and Uses of the Sonos Connect Amp From putting together a listening room to powering a modest home theater system, the Sonos Connect Amp can be a very valuable tool, although, there is certainly nothing wrong with a cheaper alternative like the Yamaha WXA-50 which we talked more about in our guide. Below, we’ll talk through some of the main features, but the real beauty of the Connect Port is how it gives you so many more options for your home audio system. It’s not clear at first just how neat of a unit this is. It has RCA inputs, allowing you to bring in sound sources that aren’t streamed wirelessly, and it also allows you to connect a powered subwoofer. The Sonos Connect Amp allows you to connect two non-Sonos speakers to your Sonos system. And if you don’t have any Sonos products, the Connect Amp allows you to bring at least 2 non-Sonos speakers into the Sonos ecosystem. For larger homes, it can help you manage sound “zones” in an easy and streamlined way. If you already have a Sonos home audio system, or even if you’re just starting to consider dipping your toe in, the Sonos Connect Amp is a tool you’ll want to consider.

That's right, the whole presentation - from each individual slide and every icon in them to the "keynote" from CEO Jensen Huang - was created digitally using Nvidia Onmiverse, the company's platform for virtual collaboration and real-time simulation. It's unclear how many people participated in the contest, but that's irrelevant because all you need to know at this point is that the entire presentation was one giant Easter egg. ![]() To participate, users were asked to tweet any Easter eggs they found to the company for a chance to win coveted prizes like an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090. Nvidia as part of its GPU Technology Conference (GTC) keynote earlier this year hosted a secret treasure hunt in which it invited onlookers to see if they could spot "anything out of the ordinary" during the presentation. We apologize for the confusion this has caused, although in fairness, when Nvidia says things like "digital Jensen was then brought into a replica of his kitchen that was deconstructed to reveal the holodeck within Omniverse, surprising the audience and making them question how much of the keynote was real, or rendered," it's easy to see how this was misconstrued. Taken word for word, the virtual Jensen was only seen on screen for 14 seconds – and that's a portion that honestly looks less than impressive – the rest of the time, it was himself in the flesh. Through all but 14 seconds of the hour and 48 minute presentation - from 1:02:41 to 1:02:55 - Huang himself spoke in the keynote." 13): After this article was published, Nvidia updated its blog post with the following information: "To be sure, you can't have a keynote without a flesh and blood person at the center. It was a bold move, but one that allowed Nvidia to demonstrate (if only in hindsight) just how impressive its Omniverse platform truly is. ![]() Mind-blowing: Nvidia has revealed that its GTC 2021 keynote that aired back in April took place entirely in the metaverse (corrected: no, it didn't) meaning to say the whole thing was CGI. ![]() Next to this option, you can see two square icons with the apple icon. You can uncheck it to see the original image on the left side image without the color masks. You can also see the “Show Trimap” option visible at the top. The left side image will preview the colored mask, and the right-side one will show the actual mask effect on the picture after the cut with a transparent background. Once you “ Update Mask”, you can see split preview windows on the main window. So, if you have multiple changes, then I recommend you going for the second option. The Auto-update process will take some time to process and preview the change. Otherwise, untick this option and click on “ Update Mask” every time you want to see the change. You can either select the “ Auto-update Mask” option to see the change previews.

Of course, to help you understand what the three different perfect tenses do, we’ll split this into sections. If you can remember the different forms of the present tenses, you’ll have an easier time using them for yourself. “Have” changes form depending on the tense we use, while “chosen” always stays the same no matter what. You should remember these three forms when using the present tenses: “Chosen” is not enough for a sentence, and it would be grammatically incorrect alone. “Have chosen” is the present perfect tense (which is one of the potential options we can use). When Is “Chosen” Correct?īefore getting “chosen” correct in a sentence, we must first include an auxiliary verb. The event has already happened, and there’s nothing more we can do to change it. “Chose” works when talking about “choosing” something in the past. They chose to do that, so it’s on them to deal with the consequences.You chose the wrong answer like an idiot!. ![]() He chose me, and I’m so grateful for that.Present tense: He chose Example Sentences Using “Chose”.Sometimes, the present tense verb will change based on which pronoun we use, but this is not the case for the simple past tense. Interestingly, the verb form of “chose” never changes spelling. There’s nothing more we can do to change it in the present. We use it to think back to an event of “choosing” something that’s happened to us (or someone we know). You should use “chose” when talking about “choosing” something in the past. Since “chose” is the simpler form of the two (hence “simple” past tense), we’ll start by explaining more about when it works. The verb forms are easy to remember when you come across them like so: Verb Choose Past Chose Past Participle Chosen When Is “Chose” Correct? This becomes the perfect tense, which we’ll get to later on. However, “chosen” is not correct unless we include “have” or a similar verb alongside it. You have chosen poorly, and you will now suffer the consequences.Īs you can see, “chose” works well on its own.I chose to listen to him while I still had the chance.Some examples of the two in action will help you to understand what we mean about the differences: “Chosen” is the past participle, which works with a helping verb like “have” to become the perfect tense. “Chose” and “chosen” are the two past tense forms of “choose.” We use “chose” as the simple past tense to talk about “choosing” something in the past. This article will explore the two main forms of the past tense of “choose.” Chose or Chosen: Which Is Correct? Let’s talk about the past tense of “choose.” It’s an irregular verb, so it naturally comes with some difficult things we must overcome before understanding it.

![]() Death and the question of the soulĭoes the parable go further and teach that the dead are conscious and receive their eternal reward upon death? Several lines of evidence point away from such a conclusion:ġ. (3) there is no chance for change after death you will receive the reward you deserve. (2) the Scriptures are a sufficient witness to lead us to repent and to follow the Bible’s ethic and (1) the rich have a responsibility to help the poor in this life The parable of the rich man and Lazarus has three clear points: If you do not use your resources to bless others, you cannot expect to receive the true riches and eternal dwellings.ĭetails in parables must be interpreted carefully. ![]() Many in Jesus’ day thought that riches were a sign of God’s favor, and poverty of His displeasure. Jesus addressed this false theologythrough this parable showing that the “reward” for the rich was opposite of what they expected. The rich man illustrates the teaching of Luke 16:9-13 – if you do not use your resources to bless others, you cannot expect to receive the true riches and a home in the eternal dwellings. Second, in the parable their roles are reversed in the hereafter, again with opposite poles invoked – heaven versus hell. The first part of the story illustrates this graphically. When we use this assumption to look at the teaching of the story, many points in the parable become clear.įirst, the rich man and Lazarus are at opposite poles in regards to financial resources. But what does it all mean? The parable teaches the use of resourcesīecause this parable is linked in Luke 16 with other teachings on the use of financial resources, it makes a great deal of sense to see it as dealing with the same issue. With these words the parable comes to a close. Abraham responds that if they did not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither would they listen if someone were to rise from the dead. But the rich man refuses to be put off and states that if someone were to rise from the dead with the message, then surely his brothers would change and avoid the torments of hell. Again Abraham refuses, making reference to the testimony of Moses and the Prophets. The rich man then pleads that Lazarus be sent back to warn his brothers. Secondly, Abraham notes that a great gulf has been fixed between them so that no one can pass from one side to the other. It is the smallest of requests for mercy – just the tip of the finger dipped in water to cool the rich man’s tongue, not the entire body.īut Abraham refuses the request on two grounds – the rich man had good things in his earthly life while Lazarus had a bad life, and now the roles are reversed with Lazarus comforted and the rich man tormented. However, the scene quickly develops into the rich man in the torments of hellfire calling on “Father Abraham” to send Lazarus with at least a drop of water to cool his burning tongue. Upon death, the poor man is carried to the bosom of Abraham where he finds repose, while the rich man is simply buried. The rich man lives sumptuously while Lazarus is covered with sores and longs to be satisfied from the things falling from the rich man’s table. The reversal of expectation will become a major theme in the story. Normally we would expect the rich man to be named and the beggar to be nameless. The first scene of the parable tells of the vastly different positions in life of two men – a rich man and a poor man named Lazarus. Because names provide specificity and imply importance, it is instructive that the rich man is never named in the story. The majority of Luke 16 deals with the subject of wealth, and this parable has much to say on the topic. ![]() It is unique in that it is the only parable of Jesus that tells of events in the afterlife, and it is the only parable that includes a personal name (Lazarus). The parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus appears only in Luke 16. This interpretation seems to be contrary to the general teaching of Scripture that the dead do not know anything (Eccl. The poor man is in Abraham’s bosom, i.e., in paradise and the rich man is suffering in hell while his brothers are still alive here on earth. This parable is frequently referred to as one of the biblical proof texts for the immortality of the soul. In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom and the rich man also died and was buried. The fact that we left over half the Cake and most of her Cappuccino was testament to what we were served.Īll in all a very disappointing experience, and as such I don’t think I’ll be going out of my way to visit again.

The company credited SpaceX's lower-cost rocket for enabling it to pursue such markets. ![]() The satellite will broadcast high-definition television channels to the Asia-Pacific region, which SES calls an important growth market. The spacecraft in the weeks ahead will circularize its orbit and settle 22,300 miles over the equator in a "geostationary" orbit, where satellites match the speed of Earth's rotation and appear from the ground to stay in fixed positions. The same was true for separation of the 7,000-pound SES-8 satellite, whose initial trajectory took it more than 50,000 miles up. SpaceX and SES were confident that issue was resolved, but there was uncertainty until SpaceX confirmed on Twitter that the burn had been completed. That came when the upper stage engine reignited for a second burn - something it had failed to accomplish during a September test flight of what SpaceX calls "version 1.1" of the Falcon 9. Observers could see the booster and payload fairing fall away.īut it was not until a half-hour later after liftoff that SpaceX confirmed the mission had passed a critical test. Technical problems had stalled two attempts last week, after which SpaceX cleaned and replaced some parts of the rocket's nine first-stage Merlin 1D engines.Īs the rocket climbed into clear skies, fading sunlight illuminated its twisting exhaust plume in orange and white, and the rocket appeared to leave a wake high above the Atlantic. The 224-foot Falcon 9 rumbled off its Launch Complex 40 pad with 1.3 million pounds of thrust on time at 5:41 p.m. Martin Halliwell, the chief technology officer for SES, had said a successful mission would "shake the industry to its roots," with other satellite operators and launch providers watching closely to see if SpaceX could deliver on its promise. "The successful insertion of the SES-8 satellite confirms the upgraded Falcon 9 launch vehicle delivers to the industry's highest performance standards," SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in a statement.Įarlier Tuesday, Musk had thanked SES for taking a chance on the Falcon 9, which had launched six times before but only once in its new configuration with more powerful engines and a 43-foot payload fairing.Ībout two-thirds of SpaceX's 50 contracted launches are for commercial customers, but the Falcon 9 had not yet placed a large communications satellite more than 22,000 miles over the equator where many of them operate. It was the third attempt in nine days to launch the broadcasting satellite for Luxembourg-based SES, one of the world's largest satellite operators, but ultimately it signaled SpaceX's readiness to take on a $2.4 billion market dominated by international competitors. On Tuesday, the company achieved another milestone when its upgraded Falcon 9 rocket deployed its first commercial communications satellite into an orbit high above Earth, 33 minutes after a beautiful twilight liftoff from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. SpaceX had already proved it could launch cargo to the International Space Station. Watch Video: SpaceX launches Falcon 9 from Cape CanaveralĬAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. |
