Christie display solutions elevate Vogue’s 20th anniversary in Portugal


The organizers recreated a small city divided into two streets in the warehouse of the Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon. Each street had its own flavor: one inviting people to go out and the other to live more quietly.

Twenty-two unique projections were made on screens, walls, and floors, and LCD displays were also used to give color and movement to the party. The content, adapted to each space, was conceived and created exclusively for this event by VJ Draft, José Santana, and Sofía Lucas.

Thirty Christie projectors, ranging in brightness, were used, including the Christie M 4K25 RGB pure laser projector, and 1DLP® laser models including the DWU850-GS, DWU635-GS, and D13WU2-HS.

In addition to the projectors, seven Christie LCD panels ranging from 65 to 98 inches including the UHD752-L, UHD652-L, and UHD982-P-A models, all of which feature 4K UHD resolution to deliver exceptional image quality and contrast, were used in the space.

José Cordeiro of ADLC Audiovisuais says, “Christie solutions never disappoint, and their reliability is essential for demanding events of such leading brands. In this case, they allowed us to achieve a major impact for the audience through the different audiovisual attractions.”

He adds: “The visitors were surrounded by images of great impact on the different surfaces of the venue where the party was held. The combination of projections and LCD displays gave great dynamism to the event, captivating the public and creating an atmosphere full of colors and impressive content.

It was a total experience and we are delighted with the variety of AV solutions that Christie offers us to enrich the events of our customers.”

Underscores Urgent Call for Awareness & Action


This may well be a tipping point. Recent indications are:

  • Skyrocketing AED deployment
  • A dramatic increase in federal and state legislative initiatives calling for CPR/AED education and placement of AEDs in schools, sports venues, workplaces, and other community settings
  • A notable shift in nomenclature used by media that correctly refers to “Sudden Cardiac Arrest” vs. “heart attack” in describing the life-threatening condition.

“The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation is proud to have contributed to these positive changes,” said Mary M. Newman, MS, president. “The Foundation has worked tirelessly for years to increase awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest, help save lives, and support those affected by SCA.”

The Foundation’s focus for this October’s Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness month include:

  • Continued efforts to drive worldwide awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest and the steps necessary for survival through its website, social media, and the Call-Push-Shock movement
  • Improved education, action, and resources for vulnerable and underserved communities
  • Advancing the Cardiac Arrest Survivor Alliance, an online community for people affected by cardiac arrest that has attracted more than a thousand members from more than 20 countries so far this year. The initiative is led by experts including physicians, psychologists, survivors and co-survivors. Its goals are to provide evidence-based information, facilitate peer and professional support, and address an unmet need for people personally affected by SCA in their survivorship journeys.
  • Programs to recognize lay rescuers
  • Significant research support, working in collaboration with universities and academic hospitals
  • Advocacy support, including promotion of the federal Access to AEDs Act and promotion of state legislation working in collaboration with the Smart Heart Sports Coalition, led by the NFL.

“For the first time in a long time, we are encouraged that awareness about Sudden Cardiac Arrest is gaining traction,” said survivor Henry Jampel, MD, MHS, Chair of the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation Board of Directors. “With greater awareness, education, and access to AEDs, we will save many more lives.”

About Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation

Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation is a national community benefit 501(c)(3) organization. Our vision is to eliminate preventable death and disability from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and support people affected by SCA. Our mission is to raise awareness of sudden cardiac arrest and promote initiatives that help save lives through education, research, and community. We are proud co-sponsors of the Call-Push-Shock movement and home of the Cardiac Arrest Survivor Alliance, an online community for survivors and loved ones.

AI and Crypto Will Mutually Thrive With Effective Collaboration: PayBito CEO Raj Chowdhury


The technology sector has progressed by leaps and bounds over the past few decades. Blockchain and artificial intelligence emerged as the most disruptive feats of technological advancements, acting as a catalyst bolstering digital transformation across business processes worldwide. A World Economic Forum survey indicated that blockchain would be powering 10% of the world’s GDP transactions by 2027. The synergy between AI and blockchain across the crypto sphere is more critical than before.

AI’s Role in Crypto Trading: Beyond the Hype:

A notable example of AI’s potential is visible through its inroads in crypto trading. AI-powered trade bots, unlike their conventional counterparts, comprise machine learning features. This allows them to process extensive historical data. This way, AI can play a huge role in price prediction and sentiment analysis. In fact, crypto exchanges like PayBito offer users an opportunity to leverage its AI-powered Data Engine, which analyzes market data and input from seasoned traders.

Blockchain Analytics Empowered by AI:

The PayBito chief, also a blockchain pioneer, states, “AI and blockchain analytics are a dynamic duo in the crypto domain. They generate valuable insights from crypto-generated data, making informed decisions easier than ever.”

The intersection of AI and blockchain brings forth exciting possibilities in the realm of analytics. AI’s exceptional data processing abilities make it a valuable asset in analyzing the vast troves of data generated by cryptocurrencies. It aids in tracking crypto movements, evaluating counterparty risk, and conducting in-depth analysis of on-chain data. Nevertheless, data quality remains a challenge, mainly due to the presence of off-chain data held by centralized exchanges.

Enhancing User Experience Through AI:

Crypto exchanges have been quick to leverage AI to enhance user experience. For example, the US-based PayBito also improves user experience with the integration of the popular large language model(LLM) generator, ChatGPT. The firm offers standardized solutions for retail intermediaries exploring brokerage opportunities with its flagship crypto broker platform and has won awards as the world’s number one white-label crypto exchange provider.

The Ethical Conundrum: Centralization vs. Decentralization:

An ethical conundrum arises when considering the centralization of AI in contrast to the core principles of decentralization championed by the crypto industry. Tech giants currently control advanced AI models behind closed doors, prompting concerns about concentrated power. To align AI with the ethics of crypto, there is a growing need for transparency, collaboration, and the utilization of verifiable data from the blockchain. The development of Web3, a decentralized internet, will bridge this divide and positively impact AI.

A Promising Future Through Collaboration:

While AI has undoubtedly made its mark on crypto trading, analytics, and user experience, it has not reached its full potential. Challenges persist in terms of data quality and ethical alignment. However, the ongoing innovation at the intersection of AI and blockchain promises a bright future. The fate of AI in the crypto space hinges on its ability to embrace transparency, foster collaboration, and harmonize with the decentralization principles that define the crypto industry.

About Raj Chowdhury:

Raj Chowdhury is the Managing Director of HashCash Consultants and Paybito. Raj pioneered the first interbank Trade Finance and Remittance implementation of Blockchain Technology between two of the largest global banks. Raj is an eminent voice in the Blockchain and Cryptocurrency space and actively engages with policymakers in this area. He is a contributor to the Economic Times, Business World, CNNMoney and advises industry leaders in the adoption of Blockchain. He is a member of Asha Silicon Valley, a nonprofit committed to education for children in emerging countries. Author of the book ‘The Dark Secret of the Silicon Valley’, Raj is an investor in blockchain and cryptocurrency companies and an active member of the philanthropic community.

Paso Robles dentist shares the top most important questions to ask your dentist


Even when a dentist gives each patient a thorough report after each exam or procedure, many patients still have questions in the back of their minds that they hesitate to ask. Going to the dentist can be intimidating for some people and it can be challenging to know what to ask. Here are the top questions the Paso Robles dentist recommends patients ask:

  • How can I improve my oral health? Asking how to improve your oral health is crucial because it shows a commitment to health and wellbeing. During the discussion that follows the question a patient might reveal some concerns about a busy schedule and not flossing enough, or wonder about keeping a toothbrush at work to brush after lunch.
  • Are there any signs of gum disease or tooth decay? Even though the patient just received an excellent report, there may be lingering questions about the possibility of future cavities or gum disease. The dentist may recommend changes to oral hygiene habits, or more frequent exams to ease these concerns.
  • How often should I get a check-up? Regular check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health. The dentist will make a recommendation about how often you should come in for a check-up based on your individual needs. For most people, a check-up every six months is sufficient.
  • What should I do if I have a dental emergency? Knowing what to do in a dental emergency can save a lot of pain and discomfort. Ask about what to do if there is pain after a procedure, or perhaps a broken tooth. The dentist can make recommendations for managing the situation and the pain.
  • How can I prevent bad breath? Bad breath can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. Your dentist may recommend mouthwash or cleaning your tongue regularly. They may also be able to identify any underlying issues that could be contributing to bad breath.
  • How can I whiten my teeth? Not everyone has sparkling white teeth and your dentist can make the recommendations that are appropriate for you.
  • Are there any foods or drinks I should avoid? Certain foods and drinks can damage teeth and gums. Most snacks and drinks in moderation are not going to cause harm when the patient has good oral health practices. But it’s always a good idea to know which treats to watch out for.
  • How can I protect my teeth during sports? Being active and athletic is good for our health, and so is taking care of our teeth. Your dentist can recommend a good mouth guard, or perhaps a custom-fitted guard.
  • What should I do if I have dental anxiety? Dental anxiety is very common and it’s not always associated with pain. Sometimes busy patients postpone dental appointments because “there’s just no time.” Some are quite comfortable with a routine exam, but the thought of certain procedures causes anxiety. Asking about anxiety (or impatience) gives the dentist the opportunity to recommend ways to manage it such as relaxation techniques or sedation dentistry.

“We dentists want our patients to have the best oral health possible,” says the Paso Robles dentist “and, asking questions helps us know more about our patients and how we can best serve them.”

Sometimes it helps to write questions down before an appointment to make sure to ask them. Another choice is to make a consultation appointment that focuses on your questions. Dr. Davis’ staff is also available to assist if a question comes up after you have left her office.

Dr. Lisa Lu Davis’ services include general dentistry such as dental cleaning, fillings, and teeth whitening and advanced dental procedures including implant restorations, dental veneers, dentures, crown and bridges, root canals and creating healthy smiles. Every examination, cleaning and procedure is performed with the most conscientious and modern procedures for patient comfort and continuing dental health.

Since attaining her Dental Medicine Doctorate in 1999 from Temple University in Pennsylvania, building partnerships with every patient has been a foundation of her practice. Dr. Davis has continued to add knowledge and credentials for latest and most effective diagnosis and dental procedures and technologies.
