This is a battle fought with a friend of mine (he played as the Sons of Akurreya). I provided both armies and I played as the Order of the Equinox. There was a small third faction that was controlled a bit by both of us and a lot by the dices. We did not care about a balanced battle.
I set up a terrain, made up a little scenario during the afternoon and we played in the evening. The battlefield was a bit small but the battle was quite long (not too long) even though we did not use a huge number of units.
Karl Kashnick visited Titan Starships to see the progress in the development of the vulture. The last report did not convince him and he wanted to see by himself. The vulture was a special request from the Order of the Equinox that was designed to fill a new role within their fleet: The capability to reinforce or reconfigure modular ships on the field. The first prototype was almost ready to fly but Kashnick did not liked it. "We never asked for this fat tin can! You are wasting our time and money!" he said. His first officer pointed out that the current design offered poor maneuverability, rendering the vulture too vulnerable in a dogfight, that most of the storage was inadequate and insisted that the final product would be too expensive. They had to start from scratch.
On their way back to Noxar, Karl First Officer was in command while Karl was whining about Titan Starships. As they where getting close to Noxar, a small meteorite hit the Justicar, blowing up most of the left wing and taking out the communication systems. Propulsion systems were heavily damaged and the crew lost control of the ship while heading toward the planet surface.
Despite the pilots effort, Justicar crashed in the middle of a forest. Karl and a pilot were injured and the navigator died. The rest of the crew was allright. Karl first officer activated the buoy from his radio hoping that their closest base would get it and send a ship to pick them up but the closest outpost was quite far from their current position. The medic treated Karl injuries using the medical material they where carrying while the two heavy infantry were getting ready to go out and secure the crash site.
A hungry teddywok clan noticed the impact and are approaching!
The Teddywok were getting close when incoming ships were detected near the crash site.
Two Akurrean ships enter the area!
Order of play:
1-Order of the Equinox
2-Sons of Akurreya
- The Order of the Equinox need to hold the crash site until reinforcements arrive to evacuate Karl.
- The Sons of Akurreya want to capture Karl.
- The Teddywoks are hungry.
Order of the Equinox
"Don't let them get too close!" -First Officer.
The Order of the Equinox opened fire on the Teddywok that were approaching. One of the pet was neutralized and a Chieftain was killed.
Sons of Akurreya
Wolverine unload three Troopers and a hero. Triton land and open his airlock. The teddywoks ignore them and continue to focus on the survivors.
The Teddywoks return fire on the Order of the Equinox. The First Officer is hit by two spears. The first one is blocked by his shield but the second spear kill him. The medic was about to heal him when a teddywok pet jumped from the roof of the Justicar and attacked him. He was not killed but was unable to heal the first officer.
*Order of the Equinox hero down! *
Order of the Equinox
A Heavy Infantry knock the pet away from the Medic with his gun while the other Heavy Infantry is reloading.
Sons of Akurreya
Triton deploy a squad of Commandos followed by a field operative. Troopers are right behind them.
The Medic and a Heavy Infantry are both hit by Teddywok spears! The Heavy Infantry is kill but the Medic heal himself. The Teddywoks pick up new weapons since they are out of spears.
Order of the Equinox
"We must take cover inside the ship!" -Medic
Another Chieftain is killed by the last Heavy Infantry.
Sons of Akurreya
"Hostile unit sighted! Opening fire!" -Akurrean Commando
As the Akurrean are moving, a Teddywok unit was shot from behind by a commando.
no Teddywok attack were successful this turn. The two remaining Teddywok only got closer to the Heavy Infantry.
Order of the Equinox
"Hurry! We need to close the door" -Karl Kashnick
The medic enter the ship and the heavy infantry make it to the door and fire on the pet. The pet was wounded but survived.
Sons of Akurreya
"The crash site is in sight! Repeat. We are in sight if the crash site." -Akurrean Commando
The Akurreans are getting in range of the crash site.
The injured pet attack the heavy infantry and bite him but the heavy infantry is saved by the medic last healing injection
"Justicar this is Epsilon squadron. We are on our way to your position." -Escort-44 Challenger
* Reinforcements are approaching for Order of the Equinox. *
Order of the Equinox
The heavy infantry fail to get rid of the pet and could not make it inside the ship.
Sons of Akurreya
The Intrepid lift off and set a course to intercept the escorts. The Akurrean Commando fire on the Teddywok but miss.
The teddywok charge the commando and try to slash him with his large axe but the Commando dodge the swing. The pet did not get to harm the heavy infantry through his thick armor.
"Hostile unit approaching. Engaging target"-Escort-11 Fearless
Triton open fire but cause only some minor scratches. A torpedo is fired from Fearless.
Order of the Equinox
The heavy infantry is still fighting with the pet...
Sons of Akurreya
A commando shoot at the heavy infantry and the pet fighting each other and kill the pet. Another commando cut the throat of the last Teddywok with his bayonet.
* Teddywoks eliminated *
The torpedo hit Triton destroying a large portion of the cargo bay (which was empty) and a reactor. Triton still have enough propulsion available. Triton shoot at Challenger and crit, triggering the explosion of a torpedo that blow up most of the wing and the reactor. Challenger stability is compromised. Vulnerability increased.
Order of the Equinox
The last heavy infantry get in the ship and close the ship airlock. The only weapon he found was a pistol. Karl should be safe as long as reinforcements get there soon enough.
Sons of Akurreya
"We are gonna need explosives!" -Field Operative.
The Akurrean force secure the crash site.
Two torpedoes are fired at Triton.
Sons of Akurreya
The akurreans try to get on top of the ship.
"Hang on!!!" -Triton Pilot
Luckily, both torpedoes hit the same side of the ship, limiting damage. It was still more than enough to destroy the whole capsule. Main fuselage is still holding. Challenger is going away from the fight and is now heading for the surface of Noxar
Sons of Akurreya
Most of the Akurreans are now in position around the crash site.
A minor hit from Triton. Nothing serious here.
Noxar surface
Marines used their grenade to blow up the hatch while Challenger is about to land.
One less laser for Fearless. The ship is almost out of weapon.
Order of the Equinox
Challenger land.
Sons of Akurreya
Akurrean troopers rise their machine guns toward the escort airlock.
Hit on both side. Triton is getting weak.
Order of the Equinox
Challenger drop his module and head back for space.
Sons of Akurreya
The akurreans now have line of sight with the ship interior. They are ready to attack.
Minor hit on the Fearless. Challenger is back.
Order of the Equinox
The outpost is still quiet. Noxarien forces are waiting.
Sons of Akurreya
Marines open fire and kill the heavy infantry. The crew is defenseless.
Triton engage Challenger while Fearless leave the area.
Sons of Akurreya
Two marines get in the ship and kill the remaining medic.
* Karl have been arrested ! *
Challenger is hit again.
Fearless is getting close. Akurrean troopers are still guarding.
Challenger finally get to hit Triton. Triton is now too damaged and cannot operate anymore.
Sons of Akurreya
Fearless land. The Akurreans will have to fight their way back to their ship.
"Abandon the ship" -Akurrean pilot
The remaining capsule is ejected from the fuselage and what remain of the module is purged from the falcon.
Order of the Equinox
Noxariens get out of their ship all together and open fire. Two troopers and the hero fall.
Sons of Akurreya
The akurreans return fire but kill only one infantry. Wolverine lift off and fire a torpedo.
The Remaining Akurrean fighters open fire on the Challenger and hit the cockpit, killing the pilot.
Order of the Equinox
Seeing the torpedo coming their way, the Noxarian forces took cover but some of them got very limited success...
Sons of Akurreya
... Including: The two infantry that were killed by troopers, the medic that was killed by a marine and the 3 units that died in the torpedo explosion.
The remaining fighters are now heading back for the surface.
Order of the Equinox
An infantry fire but miss while Fearless close his airlock.
Sons of Akurreya
One more infantry down!
Order of the Equinox
Fearless lift off. The last two Noxarian units surrender.
Sons of Akurreya
* Sons of Akurreya are victorious! *
Karl was successfully captured.
Order of the Equinox
The remaining forces used Triton to hijack the module
Sons of Akurreya
They headed for a detention facility where Karl will be awaiting for his trial.
In our opinion, it was a good battle

"Dude!" my buddy Rob yelled, but nothing could be done. The white Hyundai continued hurtling towards us, on a collision course with destiny. Destiny being, in this case, the rear bumper of my wife's Honda Civic.
When I'd picked Rob up at the train station moments earlier, the day seemed full of promise. "You're going to get into a wreck very soon" was not the promise we were shooting for.
Prior to last week, I was building on a 17-year streak without a car accident. Cal Ripken, Jr.'s streak (of continuous baseball games) was a measly 16 years. But you know what they say about streaks: If you have a good one going, some moron will probably mistake their gas for their brakes, and that'll be that.
As we drove about 25 mph down a crowded street, the white bullet shooting out of the driveway to our right didn't warrant much attention until its complete lack of intention to stop became clear. I swerved left and pressed the gas, and for the moment just before impact, wondered if I'd accidentally driven us into a demolition derby.
With an expensive-sounding SMACK!, the Hyundai T-boned our rear passenger side, jarring me and Rob to the left.
"Boy howdy!" I yelled, because this is a family publication.
Rob whipped around in his seat and reported, "Dude, they're laughing."
I pulled off onto the right shoulder as the Hyundai cruised merrily past, its two occupants chatting and smiling.
We pulled back onto the road and followed them into the left turn lane.
"Maybe they're pulling into this strip mall to talk to us there," Rob said.
But the car turned left and just kept on going down a side street as if nothing had happened. If you haven't laid on the horn and blinked your lights at anyone lately, it's really much more therapeutic than you might think. Still, they just drove along as if we weren't there.
The car turned into a college campus parking lot and took its time going up and down the lanes, looking for a spot.
When it finally stopped, Rob jumped out and leaned into their window.
"Is something wrong?" one of the girls asked.
"You just smashed into our car back there," Rob, for some reason, needed to explain.
We should have transcribed the stories that poured forth from their car over the next few minutes, in case we ever wanted to adapt them into a screenplay. The driver wasn't paying attention. She mistook the gas for the brakes. She's still learning to drive. In any event, neither of them noticed the accident, as if the huge dent in the front of their car had appeared there through immaculate collision.
The fact that Rob saw them laughing immediately after impact did support their contention that they hadn't noticed anything, which would lead a reasonable person, and perhaps even the reader(s) of this column, to wonder, were these two people on drugs? All I can tell you is that I spent five years at Penn State, including two years living in a fraternity house, so I have no idea what a person on drugs might look like.
I can tell you who looked sober, though: the owner of the car, a friend of the two menaces, who came out to survey the damage, and who promised that we were in good hands. He also said that, like a good neighbor, he'd be there. This was quite reassuring, since he had no insurance. He did produce what I believe to be the only driver's license among the three of them, though.
So our Civic's in the shop right now, getting $700 in repairs that, ideally, somebody else will pay for. If you think there's a great chance of that happening, though, you're probably in no condition to operate a motor vehicle.

Ngày 15 tháng 12 năm 2015
Tomorrow's underground mines will be more remote with orebodies that are difficult to reach and consequently more dangerous to excavate. Against this background, Atlas Copco's Mattias Pettersson says mining companies have only one option.
Q: How would you summarize the biggest challenge for underground mining?
A: The most important issue is how to excavate minerals and metals in difficult and dangerous environments, and do it efficiently and safely. The fact is, many of today's mines are becoming depleted and the next generation of mines will require a completely different approach in order to be successful.
Q: In what way will these new workings be more difficult to deal with?
A: Firstly, many of them will be located in very remote areas, which means they will be less accessible. Secondly, they are likely to be much deeper than today's mines with orebodies that are much harder, requiring more complex infrastructure. Thirdly, the challenge of working in deep, confined and unstable areas will inevitably involve more health and safety issues. Environmental and safety regulations are increasing constantly and in all probability, humans will not be permitted to work in such hazardous environments at all in the future.
Q: So what options do mining companies have going forward?
A: To my mind, there is really only one. They will have to embrace automation technology to the full and there are strong signs that this is already beginning to happen. The interest in and demand for automation is stronger now than ever before, a trend that was clearly evident at the Euro Mine exhibition in Sweden this year.
Q: What are the main advantages of automation underground?
A: Apart from the obvious impact on safety, automation has a central role to play in terms of optimizing the mining operation. For example, automation allows machines to work between shifts, during blasting, and during the night. Optimization naturally leads to increased productivity because you can get more out of the equipment.
Q: To what extent is automation technology being applied in today's mines?
A: It's increasing all the time. One reason for this is that many mines have now greatly improved their communications infrastructure. Ten years ago, hardly anyone believed that a wireless Local Area Network could actually work underground. Now it is more of a given as most of the applications in the field of automation require access to a network of one kind or another.
However, we should remember that despite the growing interest in automation, a lot of people are still sceptical. It's normal to be a little apprehensive about something new and what it might lead to. That's the way it's been throughout history, every time a major technology transition has come along. But nobody wants to turn the clock back to the days of hand-held rock drills.
Q: To what extent is automation being applied in the tunneling sector?
A: At first glance you might think that automation is more for mining applications because these involve continuous production. That's true to a certain extent, especially when it comes to remote control. But there is still a great need in tunneling for auto-assist functions that help the operator to be more efficient, such as systems that provide more consistent drilling accuracy. Monitoring and data logging are also important areas for automation that involve major benefits for tunnelers.
Q: What are the key focus areas of automatio n development today?
A: At Atlas Copco we are concentrating on three areas – the functions of the equipment, the operator's work situation, and the collection and integration of data. When it comes to designing new functions, the only limitations are our own imaginations and the cost of development. We have a great advantage in that all of our new machines are equipped with computerized control systems which enable a large number of automatic functions to be added.'
We are also making it possible for the operator's workplace to be moved further and further away from the worksite. For instance, an operator today can stand 50 meters away from a drill rig to avoid being in an area where there is a risk of rockfall. But he or she can just as easily be located much further away than that. In Chile, for example, one mine placed its Scooptram operators as far away as 80 kilometers from the mine site, and it worked perfectly (see M&C No 2, 2013).
Other examples of Scooptram automation can be found in Canada where it is mainly used as a safety measure to give operators a safer work environment. In Sweden, the LKAB mine operates a fleet of Simba long-hole rigs from one central control room, and there are similar systems installed in Finland and the U.S.

Before you play your brand new demo of Mass Effect 3, you'll have the option to
build your own Shepard: From his (or hers) looks, to background, and what
fighting classes they're in. The body customization isn't as deep as say...any
of the recent WWE games or Soul Calibur 5 since you can only do the face, but
it's enough to where it can be unique to your liking.
..............................................................Classes [SHEP-01]
| Soldier |
Soldiers are the powerhouse weapon class, and my personal preference. What they
lack in biotic powers they make up for raw firepower damage. They have the
highest amount of health, and prefer to let their guns talk for them. This is
the class most first time players will pick.
- Adrenaline Rush
- Concussive Shot
- Frag Grenade
- Incendiary Ammo
- Disruptor Ammo
- Cryo Ammo
| Infiltrator |
Infiltrators are stealth experts, who prefer either sneaking behind enemies or
away from them using the tactical cloak, or taking them out from afar using the
good ol' sniper rifle (which you don't get in this demo).
- Disruptor Ammo
- Cyro Ammo
- Incinerate
- Tactical Cloak
- Sticky Grenade
- Sabotage
| Vanguard |
Vanguards excel at close range combat. They can't do too much damage at long
range compared to some other classes, but having good use of their Biotic
Charge attack gives them the chance they need to get close and go to town on
enemies with a shotgun.
- Incendiary Ammo
- Cryo Ammo
- Biotic Charge
- Nova
- Shockwave
- Pull
| Sentinel |
Sentinels have a nice variety of powers, but their biggest strength are their
shields. Effective use of their Tech Armor means they can handle any problem
the enemies can throw at them.
- Throw
- Warp
- Lift Grenade
- Tech Armor
- Overload
- Cryo Blast
| Adept |
A 180 turn from the Soldier, Adepts are characters that don't really excel at
weapons, but they do wonders at taking out enemies using their biotic powers.
Their special power Singularity is very effective at holding at enemy in place
in the air, just in the open view of your or your teammate's line of fire.
- Warp
- Throw
- Shockwave
- Singularity
- Pull
- Cluster Grenade
| Engineer |
Engineers are tech specialists who are good at distracting and annoying the
enemy and striping them of their shields and armor. They can also deploy Combat
Drones than can be great for stunning enemies.
- Incinerate
- Overload
- Cryo Blast
- Combat Drone
- Sabotage
- Sentry Turret
............................................................Abilities [SHEP-02]
- Adrenaline Rush
--> [Soldier Only] Gives you the ability to 'slow down' the world around you,
giving you time to line up your shots better.
- Concussive Shot
--> a high power shot that's strong enough to knock enemies to the ground.
Effective against Barriers.
- Frag Grenade
--> Your own handheld explosive you can throw at a group of enemies.
- Incendiary Ammo
--> Ammo based on fire. Good for damaging armor and keeping enemies on fire for
additional damage.
- Disruptor Ammo
--> Ammo based on bringing down barriers and shields.
- Cryo Ammo
--> Ammo based on Ice. Good for slowing down certain enemies, and gives you the
chance to break them if they get frozen completely.
- Incinerate
--> A Tech power that send a blast of fire at an enemy. Good for damaging armor
and keeping enemies on fire for additional damage.
- Tactical Cloak
--> [Infiltrator Only] Stealth Camo. Renders you invisible for a few seconds,
but goes away if you shoot or do a heavy melee.
- Sticky Grenade
--> A grenade that sticks to the enemy you throw it at.
- Sabotage
--> A different version of A.I. Hacking, it turns all robotic enemies against
their own. It can also cause the enemy's weapon to overheat.
- Biotic Charge
--> [Vanguard Only] A powerful biotic charge that transports you closer to
enemies while causing damage on impact.
- Nova
--> Creates a field of biotic energy all around Shepard that knocks enemies
- Shockwave
--> Similar to Nova, but sent in a straight line towards a enemy.
- Pull
--> A biotic move good for pulling enemies from behind cover if aimed right.
- Throw
--> Similar to pull, except it throws the enemy back.
- Warp
--> A biotic move good for lowering Armor.
- Lift Grenade
--> [Sentinel Only]
- Tech Armor
--> [Sentinel Only] Basically a extra shield boost. If armor is wasted, it will
explode cause damage to nearby enemies.
- Overload
--> The shield version of Warp.
- Cryo Blast
--> The ice version of Incinerate.
- Singularity
--> [Adept Only] A Biotic move good for holding certain enemies in place. If
they're small enough, it can lift them in the air.
- Cluster Grenade
--> [Adept Only]
- Combat Drone
--> [Engineer Only] Send a mini flying turret at your enemies which can stun
them. Can die very quick however.
- Sentry Turret
--> [Engineer Only]

.....................................................Controls & Notes [WALK-01]
(Y)- Default setting for using your special power.
(X)- Reload. Hold to swap with your last chosen weapon.
(A)- Run/Roll/Cover/Mantle: your one-stop-shop for moving and dodging in ME3.
You can't jump unless it's over a gap, so rolling, running, and taking cover on
a wall is your best bet to avoid getting damaged a lot.
Hold (A) to run
Tap (A) near a wall to take cover.
To mantle, get to a low piece of cover that's no higher than your head, and
hold the (LS) Forward + Tap A
Tap (A) while moving to roll
(B)- Melee. Hold to do a heavy melee attack. It's not quick, but it's a lot
(LB)- Hold to open you weapon wheel. If you have a power set for this button,
tap it to use it.
(RB)- Hold to open you power wheel. This also where you can quick select at
least 3 powers to LB, RB, and Y.
(LT) Aim: Used to aim down your gun sight and to make more accurate shots.
(RT) Shoot.
(LS) Move.
(RS) Move Camera/Move cursor in Aim mode.
(D-PAD) While aiming at an enemy, tapping up with tell your team to focus their
fire that enemy. Left and Right while aiming tells your squad to move to that
specific spot. Down causes your squad to regroup at your position.
* ME3's Combat is similar to ME2, although with a few new twists. New to the
series are the abilities to roll and swat turn. If you're a fan of Gears of War
or Vanquish, this is close to that.
*[VERY IMPORTANT] Since this is only a Demo, certain aspects of the full game
are not relevant as of now: Paragon/Renegade choices, Romances, Upgrades
specifics, and etc. One thing you should think about however is in the demo of
ME2, you could carry over your Shepard from the beginning section to the full
I'm not sure if this will happen when ME3 comes out, but I would imagine so.
Personally I'd rather start a new Shepard from scratch once the full game
releases (plus I have 2 main ones carried over from ME1 to ME2 ready for ME3),
but it's your choice however.
................................................................Earth [WALK-02]
NOTE: This walkthrough was done on Normal difficulty as a Paragon Infiltrator.
Welcome to earth...
After the Reapers make themselves known in the beginning cutscene, follow
Anderson. This part is pretty straight forward, so after you get across a few
obstacles, you'll get your first piece of action.
- Husks
Husks are climbing up the side of the building and you have to take them out.
You have unlimited ammo for your pistol at this point, so kill enough of them
until Anderson runs out of ammo. Follow him down another ladder and get behind
Three more Husks climb up the side of the building, and after you take out one
of them you'll run out of ammo. Vault over the piece of cover and melee the
remaining 2 in the back and then the final one that comes over the railing.
Hop over the desk to get inside of the building, and go up to open the door
until SURPRISE! Another Husk! This is now a good time to try out your new Heavy
Melee, a more powerful but longer startup version of your melee attack.
After the next few cutscenes and more following Anderson, you'll come across
two more humans. One is stuck under a large piece of building but before you
can free him, you'll have more enemies to fight.
- Cannibal
Cannibals are basically fatter Husks that can actually shoot you and take
cover. After they're dead, go back over to talk to Anderson to help the guy
free. Follow Anderson once more until you run into more Cannibals: Some right
in front of you. To previous fans of the series, right off the bat you'll
notice on Normal that ME3 is definitely a step up in difficulty. Your shields
go a lot quicker than before, so cover is very important in this one.
- M-8 Avenger I
After passing through this fight go around the right corner to pick up a M-8
Avenger I and the Radio you need to recover. More Cannibals will ambush you
here, so take cover and take them out. You can use your Ammo power here, but
there's no need to.
If you're running low on health, bring up your power menu (hold LB) and select
the 'First Aid' option. Once you run out of ammo, a well known ship will come
save your butt and end the first chapter of the Demo.
............................................................Homeworld [WALK-03]
NOTE: To avoid spoilers, I wont be using character names. Your male squad mate
will be called as such, and same for the female.
- M-96 Mattock I
- M-22 Eviscerator I
- M9 Tempest I
- Assault Trooper
- Centurion [Shield]
After catching up with a few old friends and the cutscene, go to the panel in
front of you to activate the elevator your objective is on. Another cutscene
will play where you'll be attacked by Assault Troopers from a 'certain'
organization. They don't take much to kill, so take out the two in front of you
and go around the next corner.
A Centurion solder lies in wait down the path. He has shields, so disruptor
ammo is good for taking them out quickly. Your male squad mate also has
Overload once upgraded in the squad menu, so that is also good for him.
- Engineer
- Turrets [Shield/Armor]
Pass the door and down the path, you'll run into another old friend from ME1.
For the next battle he helps but not much, and you'll go up against a few more
Assault Troopers and an Engineer that constant lays turrets around. They hurt a
lot, so make the Engineer the first priority.
For the turrets themselves, taking them head on is suicide. The first layer of
health they have are shields, so if you do have overload activated it should
take it out in one shot. For the Armor, anything fire related (Incendiary ammo/
Incinerate) is good for that.
When everything is dead, stand still in front of the console next to the door
until the door opens. Go around the hallway, making sure to pick up First Aid
from the Medical Console if needed, and you'll come to another room full of
troopers. You can either stay on the bottom floor or go to the top, but the top
is a way better vantage point.
- Guardian
In the next room pass the door you'll have to bypass, the elevator pod now has
a health bar. Take out the troopers in this room quick, and follow the red
light to activate a power terminal. Go back to where you just came from to find
the previous room filled with troopers, centurions, and guardians which are
basically regular troopers with a portable shield.
They walk very slow, but those shields can protect them very well. One of the
best ways I found to handle them is to throw a grenade between them at their
feet. When everyone is dead, go through the other door in this room and up the
ladder to the next area. More troopers and centurions are on this roof once
again shooting at the elevator pod.
- Atlas [Shield/Armor]
There are a lot of enemies in this room, so you've go to move quick to protect
the elevator. Being an Infiltrator, using the Tactical Cloak to sneak around on
the upper left path is a good way to get the drop on a few enemies. After all
of the enemies are killed, quickly go to the console in front of the elevator
(taking too long causes another enemy wave to appear), and get ready to fight
an Atlas.
The Atlas is a piloted mech that will probably be the hardest fight in the
entire demo. It has more shields and armor than average, and a simple
Incinerate Blast won't work that easily. His rockets can very easily take your
shields down in 1 hit, and to add to the fact he has a few troopers as back up!
If you have Disruptor Ammo, switch to it and go to town on his shields, making
sure to move around in circles going left if he starts getting close since his
backup is on the right. Your male squad mate also has Overload, which can help
a little bit.
Whenever his shields go down, switch over to your Incendiary Ammo if you have
it to take care of his Armor. Once that big SOB goes down, take care of his
stragglers and activate the console once more, finally ending this demo!

The chaos is starting early in the US Open women's singles draw. In 2 days of US Open play we've lost the 2011 French Open and Wimbledon champions. This marks the first time that three Grand Slam champions from the same year have missed the 2nd round of the US Open since 1971.
Li Posted 54 errors in 2 sets against Simona Halep. Kvitova was not much better. Some would argue that she was worse. The Czech put up 52 in her loss to the Romanian, Alexandra Dulgheru.
Li Posted 54 errors in 2 sets against Simona Halep. Kvitova was not much better. Some would argue that she was worse. The Czech put up 52 in her loss to the Romanian, Alexandra Dulgheru.
Just like Li did on Day 2, Kvitova puzzled onlookers with her befuddling capacity for making unforced errors on day 1. Instead of reining in her shots and taking on less risk, Kvitova was unrelentingly aggressive; she was unrelentingly erratic as well.
Li was no better. Her haphazard ground strokes lacked bite, and she routinely floated simple shots several feet beyond the baseline. Watch the YouTube video above to see the carnage: Li plays one solid, unspectacular point (the first), then proceeds to botch the next 4, inluding match point. At her best, Li was tense and timid. At her worst, she was flat-out pitiful.
To be fair: it's only natural that Li and Kvitova encounter some turbulence at this stage of their careers. Each is adjusting to the new set of expectations that have accompanied their success. Currently, both seem overwhelmed. "Someone like Sharapova or Serena, they're used to that, they know how to budget their time," said Lindsay Davenport, while commentating for the Tennis Channel on Tuesday. "For someone like Li Na, who all of the sudden has all these offers coming in, she's probably doing a little bit too much off court."
Unfortunately for fans, neither did much on court.
Seeing Kvitova reel off six consecutive errors to conclude her match with Dulgheru was a pretty clear indication of where the 21-year-old Czech's game is at. It might still be in England, or perhaps it remains sitting unclaimed at the baggage check at JFK.
Li's game might be in China or in the bottom of her racquet bag for all we know.
The 29-year-old Wuhan, China native was despondent in the press room after her loss, when she spoke openly of her maddening inconsistencies of late. She spoke of telling her recently-hired coach (Michael Mortenson) that she felt her timing was off just prior to taking the court against Halep: "He tell me 'everything is perfect, everything is fantastic," said Li. "I say yes 'everything is fantastic, but I always lose first round.' I mean, this is not fantastic."
Li will turn 30 next February, and is the only Asian player to ever win a Grand Slam.
Kvitova won the Paris and Madrid titles this year, in addition to winning Wimbledon. But she's gone from trailblazer to disconcerting flameout in a matter of months. If her Wimbledon title was her crowning achievement, today's loss was her worst nightmare. On Monday, Kvitova became the first player in Open Era history to lose in the first round of the US Open after winning Wimbledon. According to this piece, the winner of the previous Slam is more likely to win the next Slam than they are to lose in the first round.
Should we be surprised?
It's surprising in some ways, but hardcore WTA fans know it can happen. Li and Kvitova are more proof that the women's tennis is a wild kingdom these days. Past results aren't necessarily guarantees of future results.
The road can be rocky, the pressure deleterious.
Li put it best after her match yesterday, when she said half-jokingly, "tennis is too tough for me."

The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced the 2011-12 Academic All-District Track and Field/Cross Country honorees, Thursday. Lipscomb's Ashley Lehman was named to the District III team.
Lehman was an All-Conference performer in track and cross country in the Atlantic Sun. Her sixth-place finish at last fall's cross country championships helped lead the Lady Bisons to the program's first-ever conference championship.
In the spring, Lehman returned to the track and was instrumental in the Lady Bisons success. She capped off her career by claiming silver in the 10,000m run at the A-Sun Outdoor Championships with a school-record 36:09.71s run.
Carrying a 3.97 GPA in Elementary Education, Lehman was one of two Lady Bisons to be named Academic All-Conference for cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field.
Lehman is the first Lady Bisons track and field athlete to earn a CoSIDA award since Carolyn Latham in 2008. Ryan Chastain in 2010 was the last men's athlete to be named to the team.
"Ashley has been a stellar student-athlete during her four years in our program," said Lipscomb head coach Bill Taylor. "She has always achieved excellence in the classroom, developed into one of our top distance women athletically, and led our Discipleship and Outreach Commission which coordinates service projects, mission trips, devotions and such. This is another great honor for her and well deserved."

Performance Review Process
Below is a guide for managers and supervisors to complete the formal evaluation process for their staff members. Salary (Exempt) Staff are reviewed in June for the previous fiscal year. Hourly (Non-Exempt) Staff are reviewed on the anniversary date of their entry into their current position. The performance review templates for Hourly (Non-Exempt) Staff and Salaried (Exempt) Staff help to facilitate the discussion and document the performance review.
The templates provided have space for 5 key responsibilities. This section may be contracted or expanded, but it is recommended that there are no less than 3 or no more than 7 major responsibilities. Each should take a minimum of 10% of the staff member's time over the course of the year.
Managers and supervisors may begin the process in a few different ways:
- List the key responsibilities based on knowledge of the job and/or job description;
- Meet together with each staff member to discuss major responsibilities, review the job description and agree on the key responsibilities; or
- Ask each staff member to identify key responsibilities.
After completing the job responsibilities section managers and supervisors should:
- Rate and comment on each job responsibility (these are talking points for discussion with staff member).
- Ask each staff member to independently self-rate and comment on each job responsibility (his/her talking points).
- Meet together to discuss each job responsibility and how each of you assess performance over the past year.
- Agree on learning/developmental plans that may be required during the next year in order to fully meet all job responsibilities.
- Based on the discussion, managers and supervisors will complete the appraisal. The review may be informed by the discussion with the employee, but it remains the manager's or supervisor's evaluation of performance.
- Forward the completed review to the staff member to add his/her comments in the "staff member's comments" section of the template.
- Print, sign and return the completed review to the department's human resources partner (either by scan or hard copy). Be sure to give a copy to the staff member.
Please contact your Human Resources Partner if you have any questions regarding the performance review process. If you do not know your Human Resources Partner's name or contact information, please contact Human Resources at 617-573-8415.

This is information for anyone kiting Folsom Lake.
Folsom is a state Recreational area and has kite flying regulations that are in effect. It has been a couple years since I talked to a Ranger there, but the regs. pertain to larger size kites like kitesurfing kites and paragliders. The regulations pertain to flying on land and not specifically on the water, but restricts flying in the direct vacinity of beach goers/bathers. The Rangers do not enforce these regulations as we usually get right in the water, but also because there has not been any issues. Occassionally we see new faces at Folsom and I think it is important you all know that if an incident happens, ie: kite vs bystander, boat, car, etc. we could loose access.
There are regular locals who can give good info and hazard warnings so just ask some one if you show up on a windy day. Folsom is primarily used by locals because the wind can change very quickly or not follow the forcast at all, so for most it may not be worth the drive. If you are considering Folsom during winter months be prepared for flukey winds, rain, and cold water. There are days that are truely extraordinary and the scenery on the lake can be dramatic and awesome in the right conditions.
The lake is surrounded by rocky terrain and the sand is not sand, but decomposed granite and sharp rocks. If you have kites in your quiver that you won't be dissapointed in damaging then bring them, because the terrain is not to gentle at folsom and I have seen quite a few kites including my own need at least minimal repair if not extensive. This also means if you are not a proficient kiter, folsom can be deadly as there have been quite a few days there where the wind can boost into the 35-45mph range( I have even measured 50mph gusts) or if you're not paying attention you may get hit by a squall coming up over the damn that kills the wind completely. best thing on a rainy day is keep an eye on the damn for dark clouds and heavy rain and obvious wind lines that forecast big gusts. Lastly, be able to safely self launch and land as kiters come and go and you may find yourself alone with no one around to help you as the locals are pretty self sufficient, strong kiters, and may need to get back to the office. Bascially, Folsom is not a great place to learn; especially in the winter months.
Good Winds:)

Dean Oak needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 73 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
We are considering a move away from our current logo to striking design that is both tastefull to a conservitive client yet progressive minded for those who are on the forefront of the "New Market".
Fulcrum Point
Fulcrum Point (FP) intends to streamline the purchase of real estate. (FP is a full service real estate and finance company.) In a traditional transaction, a buyer pays the commisions of all the real estate agents (part of the sale price) and any mortgage lender provinding financing. Our goal is to provide complete real estate services and provide financing without charge. Potential savings are in the thousands for each client.
- Item 1...Keep in Mind: the department of RE will require the statement "a full service real estate and finance company" under the logo
- Item 2...We have operated with a dark greenish blue logo and would like to use the color somewhere in the logo
- Item 3...Scaleability: we will need it to go on letterhead and envelopes and small areas for disclosure purposes
- Item 1...The fewer the colors the better
- Item 2...It would be great if it did not prompt some radical extremist group to want to kill us for offending them

Hood River Two young heroes employed at the Best Western Hood River Inn took fast action at the Columbia River on Tuesday around 1:25 p.m., pulling a 77-year-old man to safety from frigid river water. The victim's family has requested his name be withheld.
According to Raquel VanNatta, revenue manager for the Best Western, two employees, Joey Soto, 23, and Cory Gross, 17, were working on a third-floor guestroom re-carpeting project in the hotel's west wing when they witnessed the man fall from the hotel dock into the water.
Soto and Gross had been watching the man stroll along the dock, located in water about 10-15 feet deep with a temperature at estimated to be about 39 degrees.
I saw him go into the water," said Soto. "I thought maybe he had broken an ankle or something. I could see his head was bobbing up and down and he was trying to hold onto the dock."
I went onto the balcony and started calling down to him, asking if he was okay," said Gross. "He didn't respond and wasn't looking at us."
The young men then saw the man begin flailing and struggling to hold onto the side of the dock. The duo didn't hesitate. They flew down two flights of stairs and a steep riverbank to reach him.
By the time we got there, he had pulled himself over to the rocky edge of the river," said Gross. The pair then hauled him up out of the water, across the large sharp boulders and up the slope.
"We reacted — we were just trying to help him out," said Soto. "I was worried because I could see that he was an older guy."
"He was a fully clothed adult man and soaking wet. It must have been pretty difficult to pull someone out like that. There was probably a lot of adrenaline going," said General Manager Chuck Hinman. "We are very proud of them."
Soto and Gross then helped the man into a nearby laundry area where they used hot sheets and blankets to warm the victim.
"We got him seated and comfortable," said Gross. "He kept saying how sorry he was."
The young men were then assisted by "Sparky" Sparks, the hotel receiving manager. Front Desk Manager Ryan Huntington was called in to help and he then phoned paramedics.
Once it was clear to everyone that the man was stable, Gross and Soto returned to work while Sparks and Huntington waited until the paramedics arrived.
According to Hood River Fire Chief Devon Wells, paramedics were on the scene at 1:40 p.m. finding the man alert and responsive. The man's daughter was also on scene and declined transportation — deciding to take him to the hospital herself for evaluation.
"He stated that he slipped into the water," said Wells. "Since we did not need to transport him, we left shortly thereafter."
Gross has worked for the hotel for close to three years, according to VanNatta. Soto has been employed since June 2012. Both young men work in multiple departments including maintenance — the job they were working on at the time of the event.
"We want to express a huge, heartfelt, and appreciative thank you to Cory and Joey, for their quick actions and selfless act of heroism. We, and your community, appreciate them," posted the Best Western staff on the Inn's Facebook page.
"They are just great young men and examples of the kind of young people we are lucky enough to employ from Hood River and the Gorge," said Hinman.

Many largely rural states have difficulty ensuring mental health services are available for all their citizens, leaving family physicians in these states to step in to fill the mental health care gap created by the lack of small-town mental health professionals. Maine is one of those rural states, but by partnering with the Maine Association of Psychiatric Physicians (MAPP), the Maine Academy of Family Physicians (MAFP) is able to offer its members some help.
Family physicians in rural Maine had difficulty serving the mental health needs of their patients before a collaboration with the Maine Association of Psychiatric Physicians.
The two organizations collaborated in 2003 to start The Consultation Project, a unique endeavor that provides rural primary care professionals with access to a psychiatrist when they need it and where they need it.
The brainchild of former MAFP President Richard Hobbs, M.D., of Waterville, and (then) MAPP President William Matuzas, M.D., in collaboration with current MAPP Clinical Practice Committee Chair David Moltz, M.D., the statewide cooperative is a valuable resource for family physicians in rural communities.
"I was full-time faculty at the University of Maine-Dartmouth Family Medicine Residency, and we had occasion at that time to have a psychiatrist -- Bill Matuzas -- come and participate in our morning rounds," Hobbs said. "Bill and I became friends, and owing to our positions at the (MAFP and MAPP), we had a lot of conversations about the plight of primary care docs here in this particularly rural state. There are areas that do not have a psychiatrist close by, and as a consequence, primary care docs are taking care of a lot of people with serious mental illness."
Story highlights
- Family physicians in the predominantly rural state of Maine often step in to fill the mental health care gap created by a lack of small-town psychiatrists.
- The Consultation Project -- a collaboration begun by the Maine Academy of Family Physicians and Maine Association of Psychiatric Physicians (MAPP) -- provides rural primary care physicians with access to a psychiatrist when they need it, where they need it.
- Now a grant-funded, self-sustaining operation, the program is administered by the MAPP alone.
Setting up the Program
According to Hobbs, in the early 2000s, 70 percent of the psychotropic drugs in Maine were being prescribed by primary care physicians. "People were out there in the hinterlands trying to manage folks with bipolar disorder, major depression and such," said Hobbs. "We all have some behavioral medicine training, but there are occasions where what you're doing doesn't seem to be working and you are at a crossroads. Bill and I were talking about that and how we could arrange access, at least telephone help, for these family docs."
That help came from Moltz, said Hobbs.
"David had ideas about this, as well, and put together a stakeholders meeting between the organizations to discuss a plan to recruit volunteers from a group of psychiatrists who would be available by telephone to family docs who felt they needed this kind of service," said Hobbs. "He had already tested the waters and found a few people who were willing to participate."
In the beginning, the MAFP and MAPP shared administrative duties, but after Moltz secured a grant for the project, the MAPP took over administration, according to Hobbs. "We promoted it at our annual meetings and online," he said. "But it was a popular grassroots program that built over time and is now going great guns."
According to Moltz, The Consultation Project also began in response to a proposed state law that would have allowed psychologists to prescribe medications, which he said raised "a lot of concern regarding (the psychologists' training) in terms of nonmedical personnel prescribing medications.
"I was full-time faculty at the University of Maine-Dartmouth Family Medicine Residency, and we had occasion at that time to have a psychiatrist -- Bill Matuzas -- come and participate in our morning rounds," Hobbs said. "Bill and I became friends, and owing to our positions at the (MAFP and MAPP), we had a lot of conversations about the plight of primary care docs here in this particularly rural state. There are areas that do not have a psychiatrist close by, and as a consequence, primary care docs are taking care of a lot of people with serious mental illness."
Former Maine AFP President Richard Hobbs, M.D., of Waterville, was instrumental in setting up The Collaboration Project.
"There were parts of Maine where psychologists were consulting about medications for primary care docs," he said. "To me, that was a sign of desperation because the psychiatrists were just not there. So we came up with a pretty simple model to help out with that problem."
As Moltz explained it, psychiatrists and primary care physicians in the project establish an ongoing consultative relationship in which the rural practitioner reaches out for advice and guidance via telephone or e-mail on an as-needed basis. The contacts are informal consultations, rather than treatment or supervision. The family physician is the independent professional who makes treatment decisions, but he or she is informed by input from the consultant. The project currently has 25 consultants who specialize in adult and child psychiatry and who serve 54 health care practices. The project also has the capacity to serve more practices.
"It's an ongoing relationship, so rather than a one-time consult where a psychiatrist says lots of smart things and then never hears from anyone again, the family physician or other primary care provider consults with the psychiatrist, and then, if there are further developments, they can call again," he said. "Also, over time, the family physician gets the benefit of that interaction and expands his or her knowledge base. That is a big plus for patients and physicians alike."

Patients Benefit From Mental Health Program
Family physician and MAFP board member Martha Stewart, D.O., of Houlton, said that without the program, she would have only limited access to a psychiatrist in her town of 6,000. "I believe there is a psychiatrist that comes to my town once a month, but he has a full caseload of patients, as well as a wating list, so he's not available for consult," she said. "We used to have a psychiatrist living in Houlton, but her goals and those of her employer were not in sync, and so she left eight years ago and hasn't been replaced. So everyone who does primary care in this town does psychiatry, because otherwise, our patients, if they're lucky, have to drive two hours. If not, they can usually find someone in Bangor, which is 115 miles away."
Stewart said she is a fan of The Consultation Project.
"The last time I used it was actually last fall during a joint meeting of the Maine Medical Association and MAFP," Stewart said. "One of the psychiatrists -- a MAPP board member -- who volunteers in (The Collaboration Project) was sitting next to me, and we ended up talking about it. It was really a great experience. I was able to synthesize the problems I couldn't solve with a particular patient, and she gave me some great advice."
The patient, Stewart said, was in a nursing home and having some severe behavioral issues. "The (nursing home) staff was exasperated. I had done some trials with different medications, but nothing was working," Stewart said. "It was an undesirable behavior for which the psychiatrist, who deals with these types of patients on a much more regular basis than I, had a nonpharmacological solution. She had great input.
"I have an undergraduate degree in psychology," said Stewart, "and I had good psych training in med school, as well as good training in residency, but when I first started, I was unprepared for the psychiatry I was doing independently in this rural area. I've become much more comfortable with it now, of course, but it is wonderful to have somebody who has had a five-year residency in psych, to have access to them."

A family getaway to Santa Cruz proved this eccentric beach town along California's Central Coast is fun enough for a 5-year-old yet cool enough for a teenager. The excitement of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk entertained our young daughter, while the Australian exchange student we're hosting zigzagged her way in and out of trendy stores on Pacific Avenue. We were in town to cheer on my wife, who was playing roller derby against the Santa Cruz Harbor Hellcats. Here's what we did with the rest of our time.
The bed
Instead of booking a generic hotel room, I decided to try Airbnb, an online vacation rental service (it is Santa Cruz, after all). A variety of Airbnb rentals can be found in the area, ranging from cottages to cob houses. We chose a two-bedroom bungalow next to the beach. At one end of the street was Pleasure Point, a well-known surf spot; at the other was Coffeetopia, a coffee shop where locals hang out.
The meal
Our favorite (and cheapest) meal of the trip was breakfast at Paula's (3500 Portola Drive; [831] 464-0741). At this surf-themed restaurant we ate our breakfast inside an old yellow van parked near the entrance. I had two eggs, potatoes smothered in salsa, and toast for $2.99. A true Santa Cruz experience — all for less than $20. For about twice that price, we had lunch at Hula's Island Grill & Tiki Room (221 Cathcart St.; [831] 426-4852), where we ate spicy tofu tacos, tofu-stuffed Vietnamese spring rolls and, from the kids menu, fried organic tofu sticks. As a nice touch, they handed out crayons and a scuba-diving picture for kids to color.
The find
A short distance from the busy streets of Santa Cruz is the George Washington Picnic Area, which has a serene redwood grove and creek along Branciforte Drive. The city park is open from sunrise to sunset and has several sites that can be reserved for group picnics. On a Sunday afternoon in late August, only two of the many picnic tables were being used, allowing us to sit in the shade and enjoy leftover pineapple pizza.
The lesson learned
We discovered the picnic area after leaving the Mystery Spot, whose website describes it as a "gravitational anomaly located in the redwood forests just outside Santa Cruz." Our curiosity wasn't strong enough, however, to wait 31/2 hours for a tour of this popular tourist destination where "the laws of physics do not apply." Next time we'll purchase advance tickets online.
The tab
Excluding transportation, we spent about $400, including $206 for a night at the beach bungalow, $18.60 at Paula's and $43.40 at Hula's.

Audi walked all over the competition for a boring overall win at the 12 Hours of Sebring. The real race was for the GT class win, with BMW and Ferrari fighting through the last lap.
Olivier Beretta in the #71 Ferrari 458 from the World Endurance Championship exchanged the lead with Joey Hand in an BMW M3 from the American Le Mans Series eight times. On the last lap, a Ferrari knocked Hand off the track, Hand recovered, and made a mad pass on the final corner for what looked like the win.
The Ferrari that hit Hand doesn't actually appear to be Beretta in the #71 car, but rather the same team's #51 car. Hand never lost the lead when he got knocked onto the grass. Somehow, Beretta's #71 Ferrari had fallen back and was even passed by the third-position ALMS Corvette who didn't even know he'd passed the Ferrari in the darkness.
The driver of the #51 car, which was way down in the order, has since been fined $15,000 by the FIA for hitting Hand, the GT class leader.
While we know the race results, no one is sure quite how the #71 car ended in third or how Hand got pushed off track. Video replays just can't tell the whole story.
It was an epic finish, like the unbelievable last laps in 2007, fit for the growing legend of GT racing at Sebring.

Outreach efforts toward West African cotton-producing nations are expected to "pay positive dividends" for the U.S. industry in the next round of the World Trade Organization's agricultural negotiations, says the chairman of the National Cotton Council.
Beset by criticism in the media and in foreign government circles that U.S. farm program subsidies, particularly for cotton, are depressing markets in third world nations, the council has "actively sought opportunities to establish a close working relationship" with those countries, says Woody Anderson, Colorado City, Texas, producer. The New York Times has been especially critical of the U.S. cotton program, asserting that it is directly responsible for keeping growers in Burkina Faso and other West African nations from participating fully in the world cotton market.
"We embarked on this endeavor with the belief that there are many common issues and concerns between us, as well as a great opportunity before us," he told members of the Cotton Foundation and the American Cotton Producers Association at their joint meeting at Albuquerque, N.M.
"We also believed there were real solutions to be realized through mutual dialogue and cooperative efforts, rather than those being proposed in the WTO."
The dialogue between U.S. cotton representatives and the West African countries began early this year when a delegation from Mali met with council leaders at their annual meeting at New Orleans.
"We had a cordial, wide-ranging discussion about matters of mutual interest, including trade, investment, and capacity-building," Anderson says. In June, he participated in Burkina Faso's Ministerial Conference on Agricultural Technology and traveled through a number of the country's cotton-growing regions with a U.S. delegation.
In late July, the U.S. cotton industry served as co-host to a West African delegation, showing them examples of American cotton research, promotion, and marketing.
"During this tour, we discussed advances in cotton production, ginning, and fiber processing, as well as how their countries could benefit from participation in our industry's technical conferences," Anderson says. "We also explored potential linkages between their cotton industry and our research, production, and marketing specialists, and demonstrated the extensive benefits associated with the adoption of biotechnology."
Ministers in the delegation were provided "sound economic and marketing analyses showing the dramatic cotton production increases by Brazil and China since 2001," he says. "We clearly showed the returns that accompany the adoption of biotechnology, which greatly exceed the 2 percent price change that recent studies by Texas Tech University and the Food and Agricultural Organization estimate would result from the elimination of the U.S. cotton program."
Anderson says the U.S. industry plans to continue cooperative efforts with West Africa, with a return visit possible later this year by a team of American cotton leaders and specialists to the cotton-producing regions of those countries during the growing season.

First Smartphone by Lenovo Owned Mobile manufacture ZUK the ZUK Z1 eventually has surfaced its face in China. The happy news is that it can be called the smartphone which has been on the threshold for the first time. The premium feelings that surrounds the world is, it is metaled frame which surround the corners, not that is enough how strong the structure has been structured as it retains the capacity to suffer accidental damages. Up front, it has displayed a 5.5 inches the full HD displaying quality along with the grill sticked to the speaker on the pedestal and also shows an 8 mega pixel camera fitted on the right hand.
In the rear, it is riched in features means a 13 mega pixel Sony an Exmor RS camera with sensor carrying double LED flash an OIS, the eye catching object is that the photography has been enhanced while counting the features placed inside. We append the attributes to the newly arrived ZUK Z1 that 4100 mAh a massive battery which makes it run up to 38 hours of talk length with 4G, more over 526 hours length which support it beyond 21 days standby power.
Many other notice worthy feature which include a U-Touch that is called the security feature as it is the finger print security system seated on the home button and it can be reversed with Type C USB port, so it is going to become an industry standardized in the year 2016. It places in itself 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon an 801 series quad-core CPU, having a RAM of 3GB LPDDR the 3 series with 64GB (eMMC 5.0) storage capacity. The piece of news emanated about the Lenovo ZUK Z1 is, its supports MicroSIM the double SIM the 4GLTE along with 3G Edge/GPRS. The Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n the GPS/A-GPS build with Bluetooth makes its advent with the 5.5 inches full HD with the resolution of 1920 x 1080, it also supports wonderful experiences of gaming view.
The Z1 smartphone powered by ZUK is going to be released on the sites called an e-commerce on the 18th of August 2015 and it will be priced as ¥1700 and 276 US$ and in euro currency it will go for €250. The company is in ambiguity whether the company will release the ZUK Z1 in India? It is not yet certain as no official announcement has been made so far on this point. But the features embedded in it suggest that looking to the affordability of the users, means the price conscious takers like in India will have it. As is evident from the past experiences, the Lenovo and the Motorola which is the subsidiary to the Lenovo have been making long strides while speaking in terms of the market share. The specialty is attracting towards the budget and the mid-range categories in the country.
We cannot stand surety on the end of the Chinese company that it will get introduce the third brand and cannot put itself at the risk of cannibalization of its own devices regarding the sale.
