Portable JmGO View Projector Delivers Home Theater From A Tube
A
lthough the latest Ultra HD 4K TV screens can blow your mind with stunning picture quality, there's something magical when it comes to watching movies from a projector. Maybe because it creates that theater feel and atmosphere. Or it could be the transformative nature of converting blank, open spaces into full-color entertainment. To help us decide, JmGO sent us an early unit of its latest projector. We've spent the past couple of weeks kicking back and catching some cord-free flicks on the JmGO View.
Design & connectivity When it comes to projectors, the vast majority are rather boxy in nature. Sure, some might have rounded corners and/or beveled edges. But you're mostly going to see them shaped like one kind of brick or another. The JmGO View Smart Portable Theater ditches the tried-and-true for something a little more fresh – a 9-in long by 2.85-in diameter (229.6 x 72.4 mm) cylinder that weighs only 2.2 lb (1 kg). Given the popularity of similarly-sized cylindrical tech, such as the UE Boom 2 and Scosche BoomBottle+ speakers, why
not? With its brushed aluminum exterior and metal grilles on either end, the JmGO View's design is not only striking, but it serves a functional purpose for audio and video. Most projectors have built-in speakers that aren't much better than those found in basic mobile devices. The JmGO View conveniently packs a sizeable pair, so you don't have to worry about carrying a separate device and/or fumbling with another cable to plug in. The projector's pair of 4 W Dolby Digital Plus speakers emit sound out from the ends, which helps to create a wider soundstage to complement the projected video. And if that's not good enough – the JmGO View's max volume level is nothing to sniff at – you can opt to connect a Bluetooth speaker or headphones. Included in the box with the projector is a slim remote, magnetic stand, and wall adapter, all of which are important. The JmGO View has no onboard controls, which means the remote is critical to be able to do anything, unless you also download the free companion app (Android app was unavailable during testing, iOS version releasing soon). The stand lets you manually adjust the angle of the lens by rotating the projector itself. Without it, you'll need to devise a way for the JmGO View to keep from rolling. The lens itself is embedded within the black plastic that separates the aluminum halves. On the back of the JmGO View is the power button along with ports for HDMI, USB 2.0 (for data and devices), and the wall adapter for charging the 15,600-mAh capacity battery. On the bottom is a tripod mount. And that's it for physical connections. Along with Bluetooth, the JmGO View also features Wi-Fi, Miracast, and Happycast (it's like Airplay) connectivity, which opens up so much potential for streaming content (e.g. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, YouTube, etc.). And given the projector's Android-based operating system, you can access

Google Play to download plenty of compatible apps, videos, and games. Once you hit the power button, either on the projector or remote, it takes about 50 seconds to boot up to the home screen.
Powered by Android The JmGO View is powered by Android 4.4.4 with a custom UI, supported by 16 GB of internal storage. The projector presents an effective, clutter-free menu system that provides the important options you need: signal source (storage, HDMI), wireless network, general settings, and power modes. The general settings let you enable Bluetooth and connect devices, optimize the system, toggle system sound effects/music, and adjust the video output. Even the video options are kept simple: normal/high brightness, wide/standard aspect ratio, digital zoom, auto/manual keystone correction, and selections for ceiling/rear projection modes. Under power, you can schedule auto shut-off, turn off the light, and enable power saving mode. And that's it. Focus/sharpness adjustment projection size.

The verdict Although JmGO may not be a familiar name – at least in Western markets – the company certainly knows its business with projectors. The View Smart Portable Theater isn't the brand's first, and what you get is a combination of quality materials and choice hardware in a sleek, unique design. The shape and function alone are worth a table conversation. The JmGO View caters to the modern, mobile user with its Android OS, HDMI/Bluetooth/WiFi connectivity, and built-in battery, storage, and speakers. You're not going to find outdated AV, auxiliary, monitor, or s-video ports here. The JmGO View View Smart Portable Theater is currently funding on Indiegogo, having raised four percent of its US$100,00 goal in less than a day, with another 30 days left to go. A basic pledge of $449 sets you up with one projector (with stand, remote, and wall adapter), with higher pledge tiers bundling in a travel case and/or 3D glasses.

Bright and Bold Stripes Classic stripes get an update this season in a spectrum of colors. Whether you reach for a statement coat or stock up on knit tanks to pair with your favorite denim, brighten up your wardrobe with wide and bold stripes this season.
Grown-Up Gingham Typically a youthful, warm-weather style, gingham has grown up for spring. Look for tailored trousers and mid-length dresses in this classic print.
Micropleats This micro-pleated texture is great for skirts and dresses this spring. It adds modern shape to any silhouette, while also remaining unstructured, so the pieces will drape flatteringly on any body.

Patterned Patchwork This season, patchwork has gone even bigger and bolder by way of microprints and patterns.
Floral Print It is bright, it is sunny and it is perfect for the spring and summer seasons. Look for skirts and dresses with bright colors and ditsy floral prints.

TRAVEL&TOURISM
L ARRY F OGG TRIP TO THAILAND
I
arrived at Chiang Rai, Thailand, on 9 June with scattered rain, intense heat, and over-the-top humidity. Although I didn't have any specific itinerary for this journey, I wanted to return to the Oub Kham Museum to talk to them about the special green tea that I had been served when I visited the museum during January 2011. This special green tea comes from the tea plantation that is owned by the owner of the museum and is served to people who visit the museum. Although I was told that it sells for a very high price in China, museum visitors could purchase it at the museum. When I returned to the museum on June 10, Ms. Kai, the same lady who was there in January, greeted me and we had a nice chat over a pot of the tea. She referred to it as the tea of Chinese royalty and I purchased a package from the museum for 600 Thai Bhat. She made out a receipt to me for the purchase and listed it as Thai tea. The following day, when I called the mobile phone number for the museum to try to get a proper name for the tea, the museum owner answered. He was very patient with me as I rambled on and on about the tea and my purchase the day before. He told me that the tea is called “The Emperor's Tea.” The following day, I hired a tuk-tuk taxi to go to the Tum Phra Buddha Cave adjacent to the Mae Kok River several kilometers west of Chiang Rai. Several monks live in the cave which contains small stone Buddha statues dating back several hundred years. Although I have been in many Buddha caves in Thailand, this cave was well worth the drive outside the city. As we returned to the city, we stopped along the road near the Tum Tu Pu cave complex to photograph some of the images on the rocks beneath the hillside cave entrance. I flew from Chiang Rai to Khon Kaen before continuing on to Roi-Et by bus to explore some new places in Northeast Thailand. Roi-Et has a beautiful 200,000 sq.m. lake known as Bueng Phalan Chai in the center of the city. It is blessed with a relaxing atmosphere, with an island decorated with a large flower garden. It is also the home to the city pillar shrine, the sacred shrine that is highly revered by the people of Roi Et. The city also has some beautiful canal-like waterways. The very tall golden standing Buddha statue situated within the Wat Buraphaphiram complex is a major landmark within Roi-Et city. Although the literature mentioned eleven wonderful city gates, I am not sure that I saw any of them. Within Roi-Et city I also visited the Roi-Et National Museum and the Roi-Et Municipal Aquarium. Each time that I visit an aquarium in Thailand, I am amazed at the unique varieties of fish and marine life on display. Other tourist sites that I visited in the vicinity of Roi-Et city included Ku Phra Kona, Ku Ka Sing, Ku Phon Ra Kang, Phrasat Nong Ka/Prang Ku, and Ku Noi Bann Yang Ku. These are all ancient temples and archeological sites. Ku Phra Kona had a unique charm whereas Ku Ka Sing was the largest and had an on-site museum. I visited tourist sites in the vicinity of Kalasin including Muang Fadaet Songyang, the Sirindhorn Dinosaur Museum and Dinosaur Park, Phu Khao, the Phufaek National Park (Dinosaur Footprints), and Phu Po. Muang Fadaet Songyang was registered as a national historic site in 1936 and the Phrathat Yakhu or Ka
26 EMAL MaGazine
Ku is the biggest Chedi (Buddhist stupa) in the site. Phu Khao is a temple complex at the top of Phu Sing Hill that may be best known for a two meter long inclining Laying Buddha. There is a legend that this Buddha image was built more than 2,000 years ago by Phra Mokkhallana, an apostle of Lord Buddha. The complex is quite large with many peafowl wandering about the temples and forested grounds. I also saw a deer among the trees as I walked along a path. Phu Po is a monastery situated at a the top of a hill with two inclined Buddha images that were carved out of the rock cliffs by Dvaravati artisans – one image at the bottom of the hill and the other image near the top of the hill. Phu Po was somewhat difficult to find and, in spite of the hot afternoon, I climbed to the top of the hill where the scenery was spectacular. I also visited the Sirindhorn Museum project which was started in 1995 due to the discovery of dinosaur fossils at Wat Sakkawan. The museum is the first dinosaur fossil museum in Thailand established for the purposes of study and research, preserving fossils as references, and geological tourism. The literature also states that fossils found are of new species and kinds. The museum has a research building and an exhibition building. Replica statues of many different dinosaurs are located in garden-like display areas outside the museum called the Dinosauria. This was one of the highlights of this trip to Thailand.

THE DON'TS: After Sirindhorn, I visited Phufaek National Park where in November 1996 two girls and their guardians went for a picnic and found strange footprints in a rocky open space by the Huai Ngao Stream at the foot of Phufaek Hill on the Phuphan Mountain Range. They notified geological authorities who traveled to the site and discovered that there are seven footprints of Therropod Dinosaurs, classified in carnivorous Karnosaur. These footprints are 140 million years old. At Phufaek National Park, I saw some petrified wood and hiked to the site of the dinosaur footprints. When I arrived at the site, I found several Thai families there enjoying a picnic. They were surprised to see a Californian visiting the site and offered to have me join their party. The dinosaur footprint fossils were fantastic and may well have been the highlight of my trip. I traveled by bus from Kalasin back to Khon Kaen. Khon Kaen City also has a beautiful large lake called Bueng Kaen Nakhon with an area of 603 rai and a shady park around the lake. The magnificent Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon or 9-storey stupa is adjacent to the lake and the Khon Kaen City Museum is also near the lake. Each floor of the 9-storey stupa is unique with murals, carvings and artifacts – relics of the Lord Buddha are housed on the 9th floor.

Other sites within Khon Kaen that I visited were Sala Suk Chai where the city pillar shrine is located and an interesting adjacent temple complex. The King Cobra Village, Ban Khok Sa-nga in Tambon Sai Mun is famous for its strange pets, king cobras, kept at every house. For a long time the villagers earned extra income by selling herbal medicines while traveling around through villages. By 1951, a local doctor, Ken Yongla, initiated a cobra show, which was successful in attracting his clients to the village. Since a cobra show was too dangerous because a cobra can spit its poison for two meters making a man blind, he changed the show to be conducted with king cobras together with the snake handling skills of the villagers. Today in the village, a snake show is held at Wat Si Thamma with villagers performing different series of shows such as python snake dancing, and boxing between king cobra and man. Exhibitions of king cobra and other reptiles, mammals, and birds are located on either side of a large pond adjacent to the snake show arena. I arrived in the morning and there were just a few other Thai people visiting the village. My driver and I went from cage to cage to look at the different cobras, snakes, birds, and mammals – there was no admission charge to visit the village and look at these. One lady had a large python and wanted me to photograph the snake for a fee, but I declined. After viewing the snakes in the cages, I was invited into the large tent-like arena where the snake show was performed. I asked when the show was scheduled to begin and was told in just a few minutes. A few minutes later, the other five or six Thai visitors arrived and the show began. The first performance was two Thai ladies each dancing with a python over their shoulders and for the finale, they each inserted the head of the python in their mouth as they danced. The following shows all featured king cobras. Several Thai men boxed with the cobras and one man kissed the head of a cobra. A small boy played with a smaller king cobra and barely missed being bitten by the snake on numerous occasions demonstrating his snake-handling skills. Donations were solicited after the performances. After the show and before we could leave, the lady with the python greeted us and held out the python for someone to handle. Since none of the Thai people would take the snake, I gave my camera to one of the Thais and took the python from the lady. The Thais seemed to be enamored by me and the python as photographs were taken. When the lady asked me to put the snake's head in my mouth like the lady dancers had done during the show, I refused and returned the python to her. On the way back to the car, I stopped and purchased a Thailand King Cobra Village shirt and decided that my visit to the cobra village was another highlight of the trip. After we departed the King Cobra Village, we passed a group of Thai men in the process of having a party while butchering a large pig beside the highway. We stopped and I asked permission to take some photos. The men agreed, asked me to join their party, and offered me a beer. I flew from Khon Kaen back to Chiang Rai, and visited several tourist sites North of the city including, Mae Sai City, Wat Phra That Doi Wow, Wat Phra Doi That Tung, Sathop Doi Chang Moup, and Doi Tung. Mae Sai City borders on Myanmar's Tha Khi Lek market by the Mae Sai River with a bridge spanning both sides. Although foreign visitors are allowed to cross over to the Tha Khi Lek market by presenting their passports and paying a fee at the Mae Sai Customs House immigration checkpoint, I decided not to enter Myamnar. There is alao a very large market area within Mae Sai which we drove through to get to Wat Phra That Doi Wow which is situated on a hilltop within Mae Sai. Wat Phra That Doi Wow is also known as the scorpion temple and has an impressive statue of a scorpion overlooking the city. Mae Sai is an interesting city in which I might like to spend more time during a future trip. I had selected several sites along highway 1149 in the
28 EMAL MaGazine
mountains near Mae Sai that I wanted to visit when I contracted with my car and driver. My driver missed the road to highway 1149 within Mae Sai and headed back toward Chiang Rai on highway 1. I finally got his attention and after he stopped to ask directions a couple of times and made a couple of calls on his mobile phone, we found a road to take us to highway 1149. Once we arrived at highway 1149, we had to backtrack on it toward Mae Sai to visit my selected sites. Highway 1149 is a narrow and winding road in the mountains which was very scenic. We visited Wat Phra That Doi Tung which is situated near the top of Doi Tung Mountain, the highest mountain in Chiang Rai Province with an elevation of approximately 2,000 meters. Wat Phra That Doi Tung was constructed in the 10th century and was renovated by Chiang Rai's most famous ruler King Mengrai during the 13th century and by the famous Chiang Mai monk, Khru Ba Siwichai, at the turn of the 20th century. The temple complex is comprised of twin Lanna style chedis, one of which is said to contain the left collarbone of the Lord Buddha. Throughout the year, the holy relic draws devout Buddhists from all over Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar. The pedestrian walkway up to the temple is lined with large bells on each side which most people ring as they pass each bell – I had never seen so many bells at one location. A tree within the complex also had hundreds of smaller bells suspended from the lower branches. As we continued driving to Sathop Doi Chang Moup which is a sacred archeological site higher up on the mountain, my driver was complaining about the difficulty in getting there. However, once we arrived and hiked to the site which is centered around a rock that resembles an elephant, he became very excited and will probably take more tourists there. It was a very serene and peaceful place which would be quite good for meditation. We continued our journey back along highway 1149 toward Chiang Rai and stopped to look at a portion of the Doi Tung Development Project established by the late Princess Mother in 1987. Phra Tamnak Doi Tung, the royal villa, is situated on the slopes of the adjacent Pa Kluay Reservoir and was built to serve as a royal winter retreat for the Princess Mother, who passed away in 1995. It was originally built on the theory that the local hill tribes would be honored by the royal presence and thereby cease their opium cultivation. The main attraction for visitors to Phra Tamnak Doi Tung is “Suan Mae Fa Luang,” the beautiful landscaped gardens filled with hundreds of different kinds of plants and flowers, named in honor of the Princess Mother. I returned to Bangkok and continued my flights back home to California.

Heard filed for divorce from the 52-year-old “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor in Los Angeles Superior Court, reported. The 30-yearold actress has cited the usual irreconcilable differences as the reason of their split.
Daniel Craig Done with James Bond After Rejecting £68m Daniel Craig has reportedly called time on his tenure as James Bond after snubbing a £68 million offer for two more films. The actor - who has played Ian Fleming's fictional spy in the character's previous four big screen outings - is set to walk away from the role he has taken on since 2005 despite a big money offer. Although MGM studio is said to be keen to keep him on board, the Mail Online reports that the offer has been rejected. "Daniel is done - pure and simple - he told top brass at MGM after Spectre. They threw huge amounts of money at him, but it just wasn't what he wanted," an insider said. "He had told people after shooting that this would be his final outing, but the film company still felt he could come around after Spectre if he was offered a money deal."

Disney to Make Live Action Version of The Little Mermaid Disney is in talks to make a live-action version of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid”. Production chiefs recently heard a new take and are currently evaluating whether to proceed with the idea, reported Deadline. Initial discussions have also taken place with major producers, including some with a strong connection to the studio.
Leonardo DiCaprio slammed for taking private jet to pick up award Actor Leonardo DiCaprio has been termed hypocrite by many for taking a private jet to collect an environmental award in New York. A representative for the 41-year-old “Revenant” star has responded to the criticism, saying he only hitched “a ride with flights that were already planned,” “He was asked to speak at both Riverkeeper and amfAR events, but the only way to attend the two fundraisers was to hitch a ride with flights that were already planned. Leo helped both events raise millions, donated his own funds, auctioned off his house and had speaking roles in both programs,” his rep said.
If Disney executives decide to move forward, they’ll compete against an existing live-action project being led by Working Title and set up at Universal. The Universal project has Chloe Moretz attached to star and Rebecca Thomas set to direct from a script by Richard Curtis. Following the recent success of “The Jungle Book”, Disney is moving forward expansively with its live-action slate in general. Its upcoming movies include “Alice Through the Looking Glass”, “Pete’s Dragon” and “Beauty and the Beast (2017)”. Emma Stone is set to star in “Cruella”, Ava DuVernay will direct “A Wrinkle in Time”. Dwayne Johnson will star in “Jungle Cruise”, Tim Burton will direct “Dumbo”, and Rob Marshall will direct Emily Blunt in “Mary Poppins”. Also in the pipeline are “Maleficent 2” with Angelina Jolie set to return, “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” with director Lasse Hallstrom, “The Jungle Book 2” with both director Jon Favreau and writer Justin Marks returning, and a Tinker Bell project with Reese Witherspoon.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wanted to be talked about: Sonam Kapoor on her purple lips Aishwarya Rai Bachchan might say sporting a purple lipstick at Cannes was a call taken by her cosmetic brand but Sonam Kapoor believes the “Sarbjit” actress opted for the shade because she wanted to be “talked about”. Aishwarya, who completed her 15 years at Cannes this year, shocked one and all when she attended screening of a film swearing a purple lipcolour. When asked what she felt about Aishwarya’s purple lips outing and the flak it received, Sonam said the actress should be happy with the attention she got. “The whole idea of fashion and makeup is for people to discuss it and I guess she wanted to be discussed. She achieved what she wanted to achieve with it, which I think is great,” When told that Aishwarya has called it L’Oreal’s prerogative, Sonam, 30, quipped, “I don’t think she walked for L’Oreal that day. There was an Amul ad on it, people were discussing it. I think it was great to do it on a 15th year, it’s cool. She was trending everywhere.” Sonam, who is also one of the celebrity faces of the cosmetic brand, said she liked the colour and felt Aishwarya carried it off with “an aplomb.” When asked if she would ever try a shade like that, the “Neerja” actress said, “I have done purple lipstick in the past, I have even done black for a shoot… People haven’t spoken about me!” One of
Sonam’s red carpet appearance at the coveted festival, a saree-inspired long white gown, was also poked fun at. sonam-kapoor-on-her-purple-lips. Unfazed by it, Sonam, who found the gown her best outfit, said, “There were just one or two people (who cracked jokes on the dress) but I think it was my most incredible look. I don’t believe in taking anything personally. I dress for my s e l f a n d I fe l t b e a u t i f u l . ” Interestingly, the actress stuck to just one designer brand, Ralph & Russo. “They (Michael and Tamara) are very good friends of mine. I spent New Years with them. I wanted to do something Indian-inspired and they kind of love India and love me. That’s why I did jhumkas and a saree-gown, which I think was incredible.” While fashion critics and young women keep a close eye on stars’ red carpet outfits at Cannes, for Sonam, the festival is about broadening her horizon as an actor by meeting international artists. “Meeting people across the world always broadens your horizon. Being a part of Indian film industry is like you are living in a cucoon. You don’t feel like there’s more to life than that.”

Each face has its own history and underlying issues. Have you been a sunbather or outdoor enthusiast? Then you probably have issues with sun damage. Are you fair-skinned? Then you probably need to pay attention to the SPF in your skin-care regimen. Sensitive skin?

Lotions Lotions fall into various categories, and price is not the only criteria to be considered. Cheap lotions, however, tend to be mostly water and wax, with oil as the some of the active ingredients. The ratio of these three is what makes the lotion thicker or more liquid. While these cheap lotions will feel good going onto your skin, then may not give long-term benefits. Once the water evaporates, you will feel parched and chapped.

Coconut oi Coconut oil has been touted by alternative healthcare journals as a miracle worker in skincare, solving everything from age spots to baldness to eczema. Be careful though; if you have nut allergies, you could end up in trouble. According to the Dermatology Review coconut oil has some specific benefits. It has antimicrobial and antibiotic properties which makes it a great choice for acneprone skin. Be aware that over time it can dry out normal skin, so it may not be the best option unless you struggle with acne.
While there are many opinions on ingredients to avoid, most sources agree on a few: Mineral oil (also listed as liquid paraffin, liquid petroleum and paraffin oil), Bisphenol-A BPA (a hormone disruptor), formaldehyde (a preservative. Think dead bodies), parabens (methyl-, isobutyl-
,propyl-, preservatives that act like estrogen and alter hormone mechanisms in our bodies),alcohol (very drying and irritating to the skin), artificial fragrances (fragrances are considered a trade secret so the ingredients do not need to be disclosed. Look for the smells to come Shea butter is non-allergenic, and is rich in from essential oils ideally), and artificial anti-oxidants and fatty acids. Rebecca coloring.
Shea butter
Cordova, licensed aesthetician, swears by this rich and creamy oil. It increases firmness and elasticity in the skin, which makes it a great product for tightening aging skin on the face and neck. Both coconut oil and shea nut butter are solid at room temperature, which helps prevent over-use. Just a little goes a long way, as it warms and liquefies on the skin with application. Something to note: Shea butter loses much of its medicinal value when bleached and refined, so look for unrefined, organic sources.
Avocado oil
Petroleum and petroleum byproducts can clog pores and increase acne and protect your skin, and strengthen your skin's natural ability to replenish itself. Before we get too far, we need to recognize that not all oils are created equal. Petroleum and petroleum byproducts are common oil used in beauty products. While it will provide a barrier between your skin and the environment, it can also clog pores and increase acne. Best to avoid any products with this oil listed as one of the first several ingredients.
Avocado oil is one of the most moisturizing oils on the market. It has sterolin, which has been shown to reduce age spots, and significant amounts of anti-oxidants which combat sun damage. When used as the base for your own personal mix of oils, it needs no preservatives, since it lasts longer on the shelf than other oils without going rancid.
Jojoba Oil Jojoba “oil” is a misnomer. It is actually a wax! Remember from up above that lotions need wax to hold the oils and water together? This is a wax that is found in the seeds of the jojoba plant but itacts like an oil. It is absorbed into the skin like an oil, and has many of the beneficial properties of oil. If you are mixing your own skincare products, this may be one of your most effective secret weapons. Jojoba oil dissolves clogged pores as well as mimicking collagen, so it not only helps clear up blemishes, but can tighten skin for a more youthful appearance. Apply just a few drops, and blot the excess before applying makeup or other products.

Skincare expert, Sianna McKinley,consultant at Beautycounter, says, “We are so concerned about what we eat, what we put in our bodies. We eat only organic veggies and drink our kale smoothie, but we think nothing of putting some of these things on our skin — our largest organ. We need to pause and rethink what we put on, knowing that we are breathing it in as we apply it, that it absorbs into our body through our skin, and that it can affect both our health and appearance.”
