Nice looking couple.
White objects
Color vision allows us to distinguish different objects by their color. In order to do so, color constancy can keep the perceived color of an object relatively unchanged when the illumination changes among various broad (whitish) spectral distributions of light.[28]
The same principle is used in photography and cinematography where the choice of white point determines a transformation of all other color stimuli. Changes in or manipulation of the white point can be used to explain some optical illusions such as The dress.
While there is no single, unique specification of “white light”, there is indeed a unique specification of “white object”, or, more specifically, “white surface”. A perfectly white surface diffusely reflects (scatters) all visible light that strikes it, without absorbing any, irrespective of the light’s wavelength or spectral distribution.[29][30] Since it does not absorb any of the incident light, white is the lightest possible color. If the reflection is not diffuse but rather specular, this describes a mirror rather than a white surface.[31][29]
Reflection of 100% of incident light at all wavelengths is a form of uniform reflectance, so white is an achromatic color, meaning a color without hue.[32][33] The color stimulus produced by the perfect diffuser is usually considered to be an achromatic stimulus for all illuminants, except for those whose light sources appear to be highly chromatic.[34]
Color constancy is achieved by chromatic adaptation. The International Commission on Illumination defines white (adapted) as “a color stimulus that an observer who is [chromatically] adapted to the viewing environment would judge to be perfectly achromatic and to have a luminance factor of unity. The color stimulus that is considered to be the adapted white may be different at different locations within a scene.[35]

The answer to the question - “Are black and white colors?” - is one of the most debated issues about color. Ask a scientist and you’ll get a reply based on physics: “Black is not a color, white is a color.” Ask an artist or a child with crayons and you’ll get another: “Black is a color, white is not a color.” (Maybe!)

What year?
My dad was a lawyer and so very concerned about the liberal judges changing our entire judicial system. I do believe I heard him yelling “Hallelujah” from heaven. What a wonderful-meaningful ceremony. Beautiful words about the state of our judiciary. PTL and All the men who have contributed to this great swing in the courts.
Mueller used NYT, WaPo,... as sources. The guilty parties leak to the media, then turn around and cite the media reports as sources.
Thanks for the articles and info you posted today.

What a coincidence: the new Anonymous book from a Never Trumper inside the administration will drop in the middle of the impeachment proceedings.
Not a coincidence.

🚨🚨John Solomon on Hannity radio says although IG report shd be out just b4 Thanksgiving, there is another coming out next wk. It was under the radar and involves abuse of FBI sources ie: Steele and Ohr, and others. Says it will be explosive. He’ll reveal more tonight on Hannity
Hmmmm. He was a good senator. Tommy Tuberville is also running, and based on Sessions performance as AG, I think I prefer Tuberville.
