Optoma supports integrated devices, such as media streaming sticks. This is helpful for connecting external speakers, or providing pass-through audio when necessary. If you’re using this display with a computer, you’re also provided with an HDMI port for video, and analog audio (both in and out) through the 3.5mm ports. This allows you to watch copyrighted content, and provides the 18 GBPS of bandwidth required for UHD and HDR content. Optoma provides you with two HDMI ports, both of which support HDCP 2.2.

Mount it to the wall, place it in the center, or tuck it away in the rear. The end result is that you can place this projector anywhere in the room you like. You also get a variable throw ratio of 1.39 to 2.2, and vertical lens shift. It has 1.6x optical zoom, so you have more flexibility between placement and display size. Luckily, Optoma’s optical system is a cut above the rest. Unfortunately, you’ve got to work within the limitations of your optical system. You want the display to fit within the margins of your screen. One of the most frustrating parts of getting a projector up and running is finding the correct placement. Even if you’ve got five or more wires coming out the back, you’ll be able to keep them neat and orderly so you don’t have a rats nest of wires going everywhere. Keeping the ports in this recessed bezel makes it easy to manage your cables. Tucked in the back you’ll find a compact cut out where all of your ports are. You won’t find any controls on the projector itself.

The only way to tell if this projector is as good as it seems will be to test the real world performance. But as we all know, the specifications only tell part of the story. Combined with an advanced optical system and plenty of controls, there are very few features you won’t find here. It features both REC 709 and REC 2020, offering support for HDR content. It’s got a true 4K resolution, clocking in at 3840 by 2160. We’ll find out how it performs, and help you decide if this projector should be the centerpiece of your new home theater.įrom a tech perspective, this projector seems to offer everything you could possibly want. In this review, we’ll be going hands on with this hot new projector. Optoma is known for being one of the most affordable brands, and their UHD60 4K Ultra High Definition Projector promises to offer top-tier performance at a price lower than the competition. Projection technology tends to lag behind televisions, and 4K has only recently become affordable for the average consumer. Just a few short months ago, 4K projectors were far and few in between. ![]() But if you want to go all out, then a 4K projector is the one piece of hardware that can help you build the ultimate theater room. If you’re on a tight budget, 1080p projectors provide the best bang for your buck. If you’re looking to set up a new home theater system, then it’s a well known fact that projection technology is the best way to recreate the movie theater experience in the comfort of your own home.

For example, according to records for Northern Virginia maintained by Kevin Munroe, former manager of Huntley Meadows Park, the adult flight period for Splendid Clubtail is May 28 to June 15. The adult flight period for a single site is probably shorter. Roble’s records are for the entire state, therefore the adult flight period for Gomphurus lineatifrons seems to be longer than it is in reality. Its habitat is “rivers.”īear in mind, Dr. Steve Roble, Staff Zoologist at the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Division of Natural Heritage, the adult flight period for Gomphurus lineatifrons is from May 01 to June 27.

One look at my photo showing a side view of the individual and Mike B. Mike Boatwright contacted me and asked to see more photos of the Splendid. Rick Cheicante and Mike Boatwright, two vetters for the Odonata Central records database, thought the dragonfly might be Splendid rather than Cobra. Mike included a photograph showing a dorsal view of the dragonfly that looks similar to my dorsal view. When my friend Mike Powell submitted an official record for the Splendid Clubtail, he followed my lead and called it Cobra Clubtail. The answer seems obvious in retrospect: the larger one is Splendid the smaller one is Cobra. I walked around the rest of the day wondering why the two “Cobra” that I’d seen were so different in size. ![]() ![]() There is, of course, some natural variation in size among individuals of the same species. That being said, a difference of ~2.0 cm in length was easy to see. In my experience it’s often difficult to judge the relative size of dragonflies in the field. Cobra is 4.7-5.7 cm in total length Splendid is 6.7-6.9 cm. The Cobra appeared to be noticeably smaller than the Splendid, and in fact it is. My last blog post features an actual female Cobra Clubtail dragonfly that I spotted soon after seeing the Splendid Clubtail shown above.

Having learned that he cannot go to Heaven, Kevin decides to wander the Earth as a ghost rather than risk returning to Hell. The Winchesters succeed in containing the ghosts in a crystal, but more rise from Hell. To their surprise, Sam and Dean also receive help from the ghost of Kevin Tran who had been cast into Hell instead of Heaven as Chuck claimed. The Winchesters are joined by Rowena, who works on a spell to more permanently contain the ghosts and Arthur Ketch who reveals he was hired by a demon named Ardat to assassinate Belphegor. Led by Francis Tumblety, better known as the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper, the ghosts plot their escape while killing as many people as they can. Still in Harlan, Kansas, the Winchesters and their hunter allies struggle to contain both the ghosts and the restless citizens as the barrier begins to weaken. ![]() With only a day or two to sort things out before the real authorities show up, Sam suggests that if they stop the end of the world this time, they will truly be free as Chuck has abandoned their world as he did other worlds in the past such as Apocalypse World. Castiel proves unable to heal Sam's gunshot wound from when he tried to kill Chuck and discovers a strange energy he has never felt before blocking Castiel's powers. Additionally, this opened Lucifer's Cage, potentially releasing Michael to wreak havoc as well. However, he reveals that there were two to three billion souls in Hell who were all released when Chuck opened the doors. The group manages to safely evacuate most of the town and Belphegor casts a spell that traps the ghosts inside the abandoned town. With the nearby town of Harlan, Kansas in danger, the Winchesters and Castiel begin an evacuation while facing off with many ghosts, including former enemies Constance Welch, Mary Worthington and John Wayne Gacy. With an infestation of ghosts on the loose, the three reluctantly form an alliance with the demon. While trying to find a way out, the demon Belphegor possesses Jack's corpse and offers his help, blasting the souls out of the reanimated corpses.

By continuing to give the morphine the last hours could be relaxed and relatively comfortable. What if hours of life (a few hours) could be extended by withholding the pain medicine? The result would be physical pain causing agitation and extreme discomfort even though the body is non-responsive. There was no reversing what was physically happening. In fact his father was actually in the dying process. What if the morphine had killed his father? He had a terminal illness. Now let's explore a controversial thought. The morphine did not kill him, it allowed him to leave this world more gently than if he were suffering physically. Morphine given continually is a must to keep this man relaxed and relatively comfortable. I believe that means he had the potential for pain, lots of pain, in his disease progression. This is why giving pain medicine to someone who is actively dying is rarely the cause of death. ![]() When you give any medication at that time it does not get absorbed and become effective in the same way it would in a body that’s functioning normally. Circulation, the blood flowing through the body, is slower and less effective (this is what the bluish color to the hands and feet show. When a person is days to hours before death their body is shutting down. Now let’s address the major concern-hastening death with the administration of morphine (or any narcotic). I am trying to put a lot of detailed information into a few words, but end of life pain management is really an all day or more workshop. In end of life pain management we also need to know that the use of narcotics over time tends to require increasing the amount of the narcotic. We also need to know that whatever was causing the pain is not removed by the narcotic. Just because a person is non-responsive (which most people are before death) does not mean that pain is not there. If pain has been an issue during the disease process then we certainly want to continue to provide adequate pain management until the last breath is taken. We do not need to use a narcotic for comfort. ![]() If pain has not been an issue in the person’s disease history then just because death is approaching does not mean the person is in pain. Dying is not painful, disease causes pain. Our society is so drug conscious we tend to equate any use as misuse.įirst, let’s understand end of life pain. ![]() The use of Morphine is one of the most misunderstood practices I encounter with families and end of life issues. What would you say to him to make him understand that he did not kill his father? After his father passed a family member made a comment that he gave morphine until his father died. Dear Barbara, I have a man that regrets giving his father morphine for pain at the end. ![]() This product has been reviewed by nearly 4,500 customers on Amazon and received 4.6 out of 5 stars. Its high capacity of 20000 mAh also meant it refueled an iPhone more than most of these chargers, with 4.78 iPhone 12 refills. And its 1-hour and 57-minute time to bring that iPhone to a full charge is the second-best of the pack, only off by a minute from the PowerCore Slim 10000. On top of that, it turned in the best performance in the 1-hour charging window, bringing our dead iPhone 12 to 81% of its charge. This way, you can both charge it and charge other devices with the same USB-C cables, and you've also got two other USB-A ports for recharging other devices. And while INIU's 20-watt brick is a bit heavy (the second heaviest on this list), its dual-function USB-C port makes it a clear favorite for one of the best portable chargers for those charging with the reversible port. USB-C is no longer the port of the future, it's the port of the day. Most importantly it works! Fast charging, enough capacity to charge my phone multiple times over multiple days, and withstands plenty of me dropping it and yanking the cord out awkwardly and accidentally." The best portable charger for USB-C "I like the solid and sleek construction. This product has been reviewed by nearly 50,000 customers on Amazon and has been rated 4.6 out of 5 stars. If you only need to charge one device at a time, and the sale pricing makes the Slim 10000 that much cheaper than the INIU, go for it. These bricks are so close, practically within margins of error in testing. That's because its charging times were so close to the INIU brick (21% in 15 minutes, 76% in an hour) and its overall time to fill an iPhone 12 was 4 minutes shorter, at 1 hour and 56 minutes.īut it's so close to the INIU that we have to keep it as the #2-ranked portable charger. But it would have taken the top slot had it had that second USB-A output port. Our number 2 pick (still one of the best portable chargers) is the Anker PowerCore Slim 10000, which is a bit heavier than the INIU 10000 pack (7.3 ounces to 6.9 ounces). It will not disappoint! I love it!" The best Anker portable charger I have charged my phone over 4 times and haven’t had to charge it! That is including just leaving it in my bag for weeks until I need it again. "I love this portable charger! I didn’t think it would be a good idea, because normally your portable chargers die within the first charge it does. This charger has been reviewed by over 9,000 customers on Amazon and has been rated 4.7 out of 5 stars. INIU also has a longer warranty: its 3-year plan is twice as long as Anker's 18-month window. Both chargers refilled about 2.2-2.25 iPhone 12s, so it's practically a tie. It only failed to beat the Anker to fill a complete phone once, putting up a 2-hour time, four minutes behind the Anker. Please refer to the actual product in all cases.For a brand we're not that familiar with, this INIU charger stood up in 15-minute and 1-hour timed charging (at 22%, 78%), with times that were within 1-2 percentage points ahead of the PowerCore Slim's times.

Other advantages, he continued, are a much abbreviated recovery time and faster return to work and normal activities. That reduction in complication rate alone is a massive advantage. Recognizing most spine surgeons have similar hesitation over minimally invasive procedures, Shibayama noted, "I have never had a deep infection with this surgery, nor have I ever had to return the patient to the operating room for repair of a dural tear. Instead, he said, "Doing the surgery arthroscopically allowed surgeons to have great visualization and perform an excellent surgery without causing collateral damage." "That was when arthroscopy was just becoming popular." He noted at the time, many surgeons thought the newer technique wouldn't take off, as it would prove to be inferior to open surgery. ![]() "Spine surgery today is where sports medicine was 50 years ago," said Shibayama. Shibayama had already reduced hospitalization to an overnight stay for observation before moving to an ambulatory setting this fall. Traditional open surgery typically requires a hospital stay of two to three days. Shibayama has been perfecting the spinal fusion procedure for the last eight years. The procedure is done by dilating the muscles therefore, there is no trauma to the muscles and ligaments to the spine during the surgery." "Rather than stripping and burning the muscles off the spine in a traditional open approach, doing it this way preserves the muscles and ligaments. "The minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) is all about reducing the collateral damage done to the tissues during surgery," said Shibayama. Juris Shibayama, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon with Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance in Smyrna, recently performed minimally invasive, same-day, outpatient lumbar surgery. In February 2017, the Tryton Side Branch Stent became the first dedicated bifurcation stent to receive regulatory approval in the United States. A conventional drug eluting stent is then placed in the main vessel. It is deployed in the side branch artery using a standard single wire balloon-expandable stent delivery system. The Tryton Side Branch Stent is a cobalt chromium stent based on Tri-ZONE ® technology engineered to provide complete lesion coverage. Myers said the side branch stent allows for total accommodation of the anatomy of the bifurcation without blocking the blood flow to the smaller vessels with an end result of more predictable patient outcomes and less likelihood of artery plaque shifting into larger side branches after a stent implantation. While provisional stenting of the main branch is the current standard of care, the side branch is not stented in many cases and can be compromised by shift of plaque from the main vessel into the side branch. "This innovative and comprehensive approach allows us to treat patients with complex and high-risk blockages that involve arteries with important larger branches off the main heart artery," said Myers.Īpproximately 20-30 percent of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to open blocked arteries have a bifurcation lesion. The procedure was performed at TriStar Centennial Heart and Vascular Center led by Paul Myers, MD, in collaboration with Jeffrey Webber, MD, who are both interventional cardiologists with Centennial Heart. ![]() In late October, TriStar Centennial Medical Center announced completion of Middle Tennessee's first procedure utilizing the Tryton Side Branch Stent to treat a coronary bifurcation lesion involving a large side branch 2.5 mm or greater. ![]() The Black and Decker SpaceMaker Traditional Toaster Oven large capacity enables you to toast up to four slices of bread at a time or bake a 9-inch pizza.
