![]() It's also easy to carry from room to room or to the backyard, where you can either take advantage of the onboard pair of 5-watt stereo speakers or connect to an external sound system.Īlso helping make setup easy is the 1.3x manual zoom and vertical lens shift. The compact 5.1 x 15.4 x 11.1-inch (HWD) size and 11.75 pound weight make the UHD52ALV easy to handle during setup. For a dark room, it's bright enough to light up a 195-inch, 1.0-gain screen at the 16 foot-lambert (ft-L) brightness usually recommended for SDR content. Neither has an obvious color bias even with default settings, and I measured both at about 1,820 lumens, which is bright enough to stand up to moderately bright ambient light with a 1.3-gain, 120-inch screen. However, the brightest modes most people will want to watch consistently are the Cinema and User modes. Even with the bias, many will consider it at least usable for occasional viewing on a bright day in a room with lots of windows. It also supports both HDR10 and HLG-the emerging HDR standard for broadcast TV.Īs with much of its competition, the UHD52ALV's brightest color mode shows an obvious green bias. The UHD52ALV pairs its RGBWRGBW color wheel with a 0.47-inch 4K DLP chip, which generates a full 3840x2160 pixels on screen using a 1080p micromirror array and TI's XPR fast-switch pixel shifting. And although there are some hurdles you need to jump over to calibrate the projector (more on that later), you can calibrate it if you want to. ![]() Despite its emphasis on brightness over color accuracy, most color modes are highly watchable straight out of the box. Of course, the most important issue for any projector is whether it can give you a picture worth watching. InfoWall works with a free app that lets you define a customized set of tiles, or information templates, that can show your choice of weather reports, news, your calendar, YouTube videos, or photos you've stored online. IFTTT will let you do things like automatically mute the projector when someone rings your smart doorbell or calls your smartphone. Along with support for Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control of power on and off, the built-in 4K UHD media player, and more, Optoma touts the projector's compatibility with IFTTT (If This Then That) applets and Optoma's InfoWall. The UHD52ALV also adds to the UHD51ALV's smart features. The UHD52ALV builds on that design, with an RGBWRGBW wheel and an even higher rated brightness, at 3,500 ANSI lumens. The key difference between those models was that the UHD51's RGBRGB color wheel gave it better color accuracy, while the UHD51ALV's RGBWRGBW wheel gave it a brighter image. The Optoma UHD52ALV is the latest step in a product line of 4K UHD projectors that includes the UHD51 and UHD51ALV. But enthusiast and professional calibrators should be prepared to jump through some hoops to get there. From what I’ve read, the UHD60 is a major step up BUT it’s got a lot of bad review for one specific issue: the HDMI ports go out and getting Optima to fix it is apparently a nightmare from what the reviews said.Optoma's $1,799 UHD52ALV successfully meets its design criteria by providing a bright and mostly color-accurate image out of the box for lights-on viewing, and can successfully serve in a dark theater with some modest sacrifice of color and contrast. ![]() And calling the settings sluggish and inconsistent would be being kind without adding some expletives. Sometimes picture modes just wouldn’t work either like HDR wouldn’t be available for HDR content. Some modes were highly saturated in green and there was no way around it. The picture modes had some major problems too. I really had to push its settings to the limit which is likely why it crapped out. The brightness (or lack there of) was a problem for me even in low light. It crapped out on me about two weeks into owning it but even if it didn’t, I likely would have returned it. ![]() Firstly, I purchased the UHD50 and would not recommend it. I am thinking about the UHD60 myself but one thing has held me back which I’ll explain further into the paragraph. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Indeed, placement of a star's name has been a perennial sticking point in Hollywood dealings. "The guy's agent spent three days on it." "There was a whole issue about billing and positioning on the one-sheet," La Manna says. La Manna recalled an anecdote about a recent Star Trek movie that one of its cast members told him, though he wouldn't say who it was. "Don't worry about Jackie," said Rush Hour's La Manna, adding that Chan and Tucker are "two sweet guys, but they have a team of people negotiating for them." ![]() Made for $32-million, Rush Hour grossed $250-million worldwide. The studio and Tucker had previously worked together on the profitable Money Talks and Friday, and they both saw the potential in the combination of "the talker of trash" and "the master of smash." Lawrence was finessed out, and their instinct paid off. The producers then brought the project to New Line, which jumped on it. Disney's decision came despite Martin Lawrence being attached as Chan's Rush Hour co-star. "There ain't no Rush Hour without Chris," said the film's scriptwriter, Ross La Manna.ĭisney originally was going to make the first Rush Hour but backed off because of how poorly Chan's English-dubbed Hong Kong movies were faring at the domestic box office after his minor comeback in 1996 with Rumble in the Bronx. The $20-million doesn't matter either, because the only reason that happened. When I'm by myself, yeah, but Rush Hour is me and Jackie Chan. It doesn't matter about the name because it's all about me and him. "I think billing doesn't matter," Tucker said, "because everybody knows this movie couldn't be anything without me and Jackie being together. Though the effort required more labor for New Line's marketing department, it succeeded in keeping the team content enough for the inevitable Rush Hour 3. The same thing was done for the ads and the trailers, which evenly split the order in which the voice-over announced the stars' names. New Line, the studio behind the action-comedy, made up two different one-sheet posters, half with Chan's name and image first, the other half with Tucker on top. All those years, I don't just care about the name. Most important is if the movie is a success. For me, that really doesn't matter as long as we are becoming buddies. "5,000 posters Jackie first, 5,000 posters Chris first. ![]() If I don't have confidence, I take more money at first." Tucker opted to take his money up front.īut what about the billing issue? "With Rush Hour one, I was the leading actor, but for part two, they suggested Chris Tucker have leading too," Chan said. "I choose the bonus, because I have confidence in Europe and America. He also wrote and sang the theme songs for the 2019 Chinese historical fantasy comedy film, The Knight of Shadows: Between Yin and Yang."They gave a choice: either the gross or the bonus," he explained. He was also the producer and action director in the Hong Kong Chinese-American film Skiptrace (2016).In 2018, he released a new album titled I am Me in Mandarin. He has since had roles in The Karate Kid (2010), Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011), Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016) The Master: A Lego Ninjago Short (2016), The Foreigner (2017) and Police Story 2013. We can't forget a trained martial artist. Jackie Chan has an extensive list of film roles, as well as projects as a director, action director, stuntman, producer and singer. Lee does anything possible to find Soo Yung, even if it means using his martial arts skills to fight off bad guys. When he hears the news of her kidnapping, he is rushed to Los Angeles where he encounters Carter. Chief Inspector Lee has a close bond with Soo Yung and her father Consul Han. Jackie Chan is highly recognized for playing the role of Chief Inspector Lee in the American action-comedy film Rush Hour and its sequel films. ![]() ![]() ![]() MERIS acquired this image on, working in Full Resolution mode to yield a spatial resolution of 300 m. ![]() The green, blue and tan-coloured swirls seen along the Gulf of Carpentaria (west) and between Australia and Papua New Guinea (top) are due to sediments transported in the water. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometre. This means Envisat could potentially map coral bleaching on a global scale. The precise reason for coral bleaching is unknown but the phenomenon is associated with increased water temperatures, low salinity and high sunlight levels.Īccording to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the entire Great Barrier Reef faces extinction if the water temperatures continue to rise and the sea becomes more acidic.Īustralian researchers have discovered that Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) sensor can detect coral bleaching down to 10 m deep. Geographical coordinates are -18.322778701 and 146.745285034 and its feature type is Reef. In recognition of its significance the reef, the world’s most protected marine area, was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.Ĭoral reefs worldwide are increasingly under threat from coral bleaching, which occurs when the algae that makes up the coral die, causing it to turn white. This page presents the Google satellite map (zoomable and browsable) of Walker Reef in Queensland. ![]() It is also a breeding area for humpback whales. The reef is home to over 1500 tropical fish species, 400 types of coral, more than 200 species of bird, 4000 species of mollusc, 500 species of seaweed and six species of sea turtle. Extending more than 2000 km and covering an area of some 350 000 sq km, it is the largest living organism on Earth and the only living thing the naked eye can see from space.ĭespite its name, it is not comprised of a single reef but nearly 3000. ![]() ![]() The parents of four children who received salbutamol and one child given honey reported rash. The parents of nine children given salbutamol, seven given honey, and six given placebo reported diarrhoea. The parents of three children in the diphenhydramine group reported that their children were often sleepy. The parents of seven children given honey and two given dextromethorphan reported side effects in their children, such as not falling asleep easily, restlessness, and becoming overexcited. Honey may be better than diphenhydramine (an antihistamine) at relieving and reducing children's cough. There may be little or no difference between the effects of honey and dextromethorphan (an ingredient in over‐the‐counter cough remedies) or honey and bromelin with honey on all cough symptoms. Honey is probably more effective at providing cough relief and reducing the impact of cough on children's sleep at night than no treatment. Honey probably reduces cough symptoms more than placebo and salbutamol (a drug that opens lung airways) when given for up to three days. We compared honey to over‐the‐counter cough preparations, bromelin (a pineapple enzyme) mixed with honey, fake treatment (placebo), and no treatment. One study did not report funding sources. ![]() Two studies were supported by pharmaceutical manufacturers one by a university research centre one by the Honey Board of Israel and non‐government agencies and one by USA National Honey Board. This update included three new trials conducted between 20 that involved 331 children. We included six small trials involving 899 children aged 12 months to 18 years conducted in Iran, Israel, the USA, Brazil, and Kenya. We searched databases to 8 February 2018 and trial registers to 12 February 2018. Honey is believed to prevent growth of germs and reduce inflammation. No adverse events were reported in the no‐treatment group.Ĭan honey reduce cough symptoms caused by bacteria and viruses in children?Ĭough causes concern for parents and is a major reason for outpatient visits. Four children who received salbutamol had rashes compared to one child in the honey group (RR 0.19, 95% CI 0.02 to 1.63 1 study 100 children moderate‐certainty evidence). When honey was compared with placebo, 34 children (12%) in the honey group and 13 (11%) in the placebo group complained of gastrointestinal symptoms (RR 1.91, 95% CI 1.12 to 3.24 I² = 0% 2 studies 402 children moderate‐certainty evidence). Three children (7.5%) in the diphenhydramine group experienced somnolence (RR 0.14, 95% Cl 0.01 to 2.68 1 study 80 children low‐certainty evidence). With a 5‐point cough scale, there was probably little or no difference between the effects of honey and bromelin mixed with honey in reducing cough frequency and severity.Īdverse events included nervousness, insomnia, and hyperactivity, experienced by seven children (9.3%) treated with honey and two children (2.7%) treated with dextromethorphan (risk ratio (RR) 2.94, 95% Cl 0.74 to 11.71 I² = 0% 2 studies 149 children low‐certainty evidence). Beyond three days honey probably had no advantage over salbutamol or placebo in reducing cough severity, bothersome cough, and impact of cough on sleep for parents and children (moderate‐certainty evidence). Giving honey for up to three days is probably more effective in relieving cough symptoms compared with placebo or salbutamol. Honey may be better than diphenhydramine in reducing cough frequency (MD ‐0.57, 95% CI ‐0.90 to ‐0.24 1 study 80 children low‐certainty evidence). Honey may have a similar effect as dextromethorphan in reducing cough frequency (MD ‐0.07, 95% CI ‐1.07 to 0.94 I² = 87% 2 studies 149 children low‐certainty evidence). Using a 7‐point Likert scale, honey probably reduces cough frequency better than no treatment or placebo (no treatment: mean difference (MD) ‐1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) ‐1.48 to ‐0.62 I² = 0% 2 studies 154 children moderate‐certainty evidence placebo: MD ‐1.62, 95% CI ‐3.02 to ‐0.22 I² = 0% 2 studies 402 children moderate‐certainty evidence). ![]() In all studies, low score indicated better cough symptom relief. Five studies used 7‐point Likert scales to measure symptomatic relief of cough one used an unclear 5‐point scale. Studies compared honey with dextromethorphan, diphenhydramine, salbutamol, bromelin (an enzyme from the Bromeliaceae (pineapple) family), no treatment, and placebo. We assessed two studies as at high risk of performance and detection bias three studies as at unclear risk of attrition bias and three studies as at unclear risk of other bias.

"Amazon Luna is a decent cloud gaming platform let down by a lack of compelling experiences," the review says. Digital Trends reviewed the platform earlier this year, but only gave it two-and-a-half stars. After today, Samsung Gaming Hub users in North America can access Amazon Luna, which brings the total number of streamable games on the hub to over 1,000.Īmazon Luna is a channel-based cloud gaming platform that first entered beta in late 2020. Samsung previously confirmed that Amazon Luna would come to the service, but it was not part of Samsung Gaming Hub as it originally rolled out on June 30 with cloud gaming services like Google Stadia, Nvidia GeForce Now, and Xbox Game Pass.

Neither company ever provided any confirmation, though, and as the summer passed without any official announcement, many questioned whether the deal had fallen through.Īccording to the sources cited by The Information and WSJ, the deal between Amazon and Twitch is effectively done, and will likely be announced this week. Although the news was framed as “confirmed” at the time, the lack of named sources speaking to the news left some dangling question marks.Īlready owning the premier site for Internet video, YouTube, Google seemed a natural fit to purchase the game-streaming giant and roll it into the company’s extant infrastructure. Three months ago, rumors began to flood tech media that Google was in negotiations to purchase Twitch, also for $1 billion. ![]() Twitch attracts 45 million unique viewers every month to watch live streams of gamers playing nearly anything you can think of. That makes it the largest video gaming website by a considerable margin, and an attractive buy for any company looking to establish a foothold in gaming, as both Amazon and Google have signaled in recent years. ORIGINAL POST: A new report from The Information and further corroborated by the Wall Street Journal (both sites require subscriptions) suggests that Amazon is in final negotiations to purchase game-streaming service Twitch for $1 billion, instead of Google as earlier rumors had suggested (via Ars Technica). As Shear suggested, having access to Amazon’s resources should help the service grow even further. The popularity of Let’s Play series’ on YouTube and other gameplay-focused broadcasts on the Internet helped propel Twitch’s popularity, with integration of the streaming service on the new PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles further securing its popularity. Twitch launched in 2011 as a platform from which gamers could share live videos of their gameplay. That’s the extent of official words on the matter for the time being. This change will mean great things for our community, and will let us bring Twitch to even more people around the world.” We will be able to create tools and services faster than we could have independently. “Being part of Amazon will let us do even more for our community. “Amazon and Twitch optimize for our customers first and are both believers in the future of gaming,” Twitch CEO Emmett Shear said. ![]() |
