Rheged upgrades to Christie CP4455-RGB pure laser cinema projector in UK-first

Leave a comment


Rheged approached CinemaNext seeking a more environmentally-friendly projection option with reduced running costs, as well as stunning image reproduction and a high level of brightness to provide a superior cinema experience on the large 18.3 metres (60ft) wide screen. Following a site visit to discuss the options with the technical team, it was decided that the CP4455-RGB pure laser projector met all requirements, with its laser light engine (12.4 lumens per watt) capable of producing up to 57,000 lumens with more than 50,000 hours of stable DCI brightness.

The CinemaNext team was able to integrate the projector into the 260-seat auditorium with the existing surround sound and automation system, with senior engineer Richard Rhodes praising it as the best 4K image he had seen. Built on the CineLife+ platform, the DCI-compliant CP4455-RGB pure laser projector delivers artifact-free 4K images in 2D and 3D, and features Real|Laser™ technology for the most expansive color gamut and contrast of any illumination technology. The cinema re-opened on July 19 with screenings of ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Part One’, ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’.

World Petroleum Congress Offers NetZero Peak Oil Reality Check on ‘Climate Denialism’ says Friends of Science

Leave a comment


Canada’s federal definition of NetZero and the means to get there includes tree planting, offsets and technological solutions; Alberta’s premier Danielle Smith clearly states Alberta is moving away from emissions through technological innovation, not away from producing oil and gas.

As Robert Lyman, energy economist, has written in “When Giants Arise,” global oil demand will continue to rise as emerging nations strive for the level of living standards of the West. Oil demand has largely flatlined in nations of The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), but Europe and North America make up only 15% of the world’s population. Lyman’s most recent report, “Let’s Not Pursue “Peak Oil” – The Risks to Society of a Global Oil Shortfall Due to Climate Fear” addresses another popular topic at the World Petroleum Congress. Failure to invest in oil/gas development by Western nations will lead to an energy shortage, says Lyman in his report, with extremely dire consequences for humankind.

Meanwhile, Minister Wilkinson’s claim that “At the end of the day, the cause of climate change is carbon emissions associated with the production and the combustion of fossil fuels…” is disputed by thousands of scientists, like the 1700 signatories of the CLINTEL Climate Intelligence network, based in The Netherlands. CLINTEL’s position, outlined in the World Climate Declaration, is that there is no climate emergency, we do have time, and Mother Nature’s influence is more predominant and elusive than that of human industrial emissions.

As reported in the Epoch Times, Sept. 9, 2023, recent CLINTEL signatory, John F. Clauser, 2022 Nobel prize winner in physics, states that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) computer models, used to project future climates, are unable to properly model the effect of clouds on climate. This renders moot the often-apocalyptic projections of future warming.

At the World Petroleum Congress, in a Global News interview, Calgary’s Mayor Jyoti Gondek stated that “…I think we’re at a point in time where climate denialism is not a thing. It’s obvious to anyone who has ever stepped outside that we have an issue.”

Mayor Gondek declared a climate emergency after taking office and Calgary council authorized an $87 billion dollar climate change plan, one which spends more money than climate mitigation measures would save… 80 years from now, as explained by Friends of Science Society president Ron Davison.

Friends of Science Society says conflating extreme weather events or wildfire smoke is a common error made by climate activists, pollsters and the media. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), climate is measured by statistical data over periods of decades. Extreme weather events and wildfires are not attributed to human causation or carbon dioxide by the IPCC.

Climate apocalypse makes for good headlines as reported by the National Observer, CBC, and the Globe and Mail on Sept. 13, 2023. The stories claimed ‘7 out of 10 Canadians are very worried about climate change’ citing a Leger/Canadian Press opinion poll. A closer look at the poll responses reveals that actually 93% of those polled are very worried about the economy and related factors. Only 7% of those polled are concerned about climate change, as discussed in this video explainer by Friends of Science Society. The poll questions also incorrectly conflate extreme weather and wildfire with climate change.

Long-time climate policy analyst Roger Pielke, Jr., who has worked for decades with the insurance industry on disaster risk analysis, offers two posts that provide excellent clarity on these issues “What the Media Won’t Tell you about Wildfires” and “What the IPCC actually says about Extreme Weather.”

Minister Wilkinson’s push for NetZero is “Magical Thinking” that will not stop climate change, says Friends of Science Society. It will cost Canada trillions of dollars, according to a Friends of Science assessment of the under-estimated Royal Bank Transition plan. Likewise, a natural solar storm – a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) of energy from the Sun, on the magnitude of the 1859 Carrington Event would devastate an ‘electrified’ NetZero society, if no fossil fuels were available as alternatives to rebuild.

About
Friends of Science Society is an independent group of earth, atmospheric and solar scientists, engineers, and citizens that is celebrating its 21st year of offering climate science insights. After a thorough review of a broad spectrum of literature on climate change, Friends of Science Society has concluded that the sun is the main driver of climate change, not carbon dioxide (CO2).

transcosmos holds an experiential event for the children of its employees at MCM Center Naha

Leave a comment


In addition to the fun event for children, the company also offers a technology experiential learning session towards achieving the SDGs

TOKYO, Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — transcosmos inc. hereby announces that the company held an experiential event for the children of its employees at its MCM Center Naha on Sunday, August 20, 2023. The purpose of the event was to create an opportunity for children to learn about the company and the society where their parents work, and to foster parent-child communication. In addition, transcosmos also offered opportunities for children to learn new technologies, letting them go through the metaverse as well as 3DCG experiential learning sessions. Through bringing these opportunities to experience new technologies both to its employees and their children, transcosmos encourages working parents to strike a good balance between work and parenting, and also helps develop the next generation of young talent. Ultimately, transcosmos aims to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Goal 4 Quality Education and Goal 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth.

1. Experiential Event at MCM Center Naha Overview
Summer Festival – Learn about the SDGs through games and experimental events –
Date: Sunday, August 20, 2023

  • 3DCG experiential learning area (avatar creation, 3DCG lecture, metaverse experience)
  • Play area (riddle-solving & brain training, Kendama – Japanese cup & ball, picture-story show & reading, bottle up game, goldfish & water balloon scooping)
  • Creative area (wind-bell making, plastic sheet crafting, coloring & bookmark making, reuse art)

With the aim of increasing parent-children communication opportunities, transcosmos also carried out a workplace tour to let children understand what their parents do at work, thereby encouraging family conversations.

2. About experiential learning towards achieving the SDGs
The event was part of transcosmos’s initiative towards bringing a bright future for children through an experiential technology learning workshop for families.
Through this initiative, transcosmos not only explains about new technologies, but also communicates the fun and the potential they bring, and lets the children experience some of the technologies hands-on. By offering opportunities for children to expand their imagination and technology skills, transcosmos helps open up future possibilities for children.
For the experiential event at MCM Center Naha, transcosmos invited Masashi Umehara, the president of transcosmos’s service partner Lead U,LLC., and a popular 3DCG lecturer for the Avatar Creation Experience, 3DCG Lecture and the Metaverse Experience sessions. Through conveying not only the technology itself but also the fun the metaverse and 3DCG bring, as well as making children go through the process of creating the metaverse not as a game but as a professional work, transcosmos offered an opportunity for children to discover new possibilities.
In the metaverse world – the theme of the learning session – everyone can choose and be the one they wish to be through an avatar, which enables everyone to act going beyond their gender, age and challenges. In other words, the metaverse world lowers the bar for people who keep a distance from society and personal relationships due to diverse reasons including their physical or mental conditions to engage in social activities. transcosmos believes that this will lead to achieving the SDGs Goal 10 Reduce inequality within and among countries.

3. Future plans
In addition to the experiential learning sessions, transcosmos will continue to work on bringing a sustainable future society through planning and offering a diverse range of seminars, online school programs, and events in collaboration with its partners on the themes of a range of technologies that transcosmos promotes, in particular AI. Please contact us from the link below to find out more about the initiative.
