Nexus 7 (2. 01. 3) review (video)About a year ago, Google, in partnership with ASUS, brought a tablet to its increasingly popular Nexus line of products. It was called the Nexus 7, and just about everyone loved the device. After all, what’s not to love about updates straight from Google and top of the line hardware, all at a very affordable price? In the world of technology, and especially when it comes to Android, hardware is improving at a very fast pace. After a mere year, 5- inch 1. With such advancements, the Nexus 7 (2. And Google, in partnership with ASUS, answered. Enter, the Nexus 7 (2. Have Google and ASUS succeeded in creating one of the greatest tablets ever? Find out in our review. Upon looking at the Nexus 7 (2. It’s thinner, narrower, and lighter, further perfecting the 7- inch form factor. Looking at the front, you see that the side bezels have been shrunken down, and any space that was created by doing so has been shaved off. What you get is a narrower profile that is almost 6mm less than last year’s tech. The bezels at the top and bottom basically stay the same, and actually, I think that’s pretty genius (more on that later). The power button and volume rocker remains above where your right hand would land. When you look around the back, you notice that the dimpled design of the original has been done away with, instead opting for a slightly rubberized material that makes grip even easier. Couple this with the thinner profile and narrower sides, and you get a very comfortable, one handed grip. In the very corner, you get something the Nexus 7 (2. Simply put, the Nexus 7 (2. I really think that in design, they’ve truly perfected it. You can infer this from the “nexus” logo on the back — it’s now sideways, implying that this tablet is at it’s best when in landscape, and the bezels even support this philosophy. First, let’s say you’re reading Flipboard in portrait mode. The thin bezels, slim profile, and lightweight make it easy for your one hand to perform the most important tasks without any strain or discomfort. Nexus 7 (2013) Review: Design. As much as we liked the design of the original Nexus 7, it was abundantly clear that it was made as cheaply as possible. Google has once again contracted Asus to manufacture the Nexus 7 successor, which is perhaps unsurprising given the praised construction quality of their metal alloy. Does Google's second generation Nexus 7 tablet deliver in a competitive market like India? We take a look in our review. And when you need a better grip, you can really wrap your hand around the entire device. But then, put the Nexus 7 on its side, in landscape. By keeping the bezels thick on the top and bottom of this tablet, you get great positioning on your gripping hands without accidentally touching the screen. Control is then easy and simple. You’ve heard me say before that I love ‘black slate’ designs. A design that is simplistically elegant and unobtrusive so that it never gets in the way of what’s most important — because when you turn that screen on, the possibilities feel endless. As a tablet as easy to carry, hold, and throw around as this, the Nexus 7 is currently as black slate as you can get. In just one year, we’ve seen an incredible boom and demand of 1. The Nexus 7 (2. 01. Yes, the actual full resolution is 1. Full HD, which is better known as 1. Since a device around this size is typically geared towards reading, rest assured that the Nexus 7 (2. Media consumption isn’t that bad either, especially if you have a Chromecast to go with it! Speaking of media, the screen delivers very good color range, and nothing ever struck me as dull. Behold: the Nexus 7 2.0. The latest iteration of Google's small tablet takes everything we loved about the original and improves on it, all without adding.Viewing angles are all great, and the brightness of the display makes the Nexus 7 (2. Gamers who quickly found themselves disappointed with the Nexus 7’s (2. The higher resolution and overall better quality screen makes gaming a treat. Overall you have a Nexus 7 that has leapt into the technology present and this screen is a great example of that. The Tegra 3 powered Nexus 7 (2. Most recently, users have begun complaining about lag, stutter, and an overall slowness in their 7- inch tablet. In the time that the Tegra 3 supposedly aged, many other processing packages have been able to prove their worth. Sure, we have Snapdragon 6. S4 Pros of yesteryear, and to tell you the truth, the S4 Pro is still not a bad processing package. At all. In fact, some claim it’s basically an underclocked Snapdragon 6. So, the Nexus 7 (2. Snapdragon S4 Pro processing package to bring great performance at an affordable price. The CPU clocks in at 1. All your stuff, your way Best of Google. Nexus 7 comes loaded with your favorite Google apps - like Chrome, Gmail, YouTube, Hangouts and Google Now - so you can. Google Nexus 7 review Source: Gadgetmix As the recent Nexus 7 rumors suggested, BestBuy claims to start selling Nexus 7 on Tuesday July 30th, followed by Staples the. Tegra is a system on a chip (SoC) series developed by Nvidia for mobile devices such as smartphones, personal digital assistants, and mobile Internet devices. GHz, and is backed by the tried and true Adreno 3. GPU, along with a bump up to 2. GB of RAM. I have yet to notice any real hiccups and all tasks speed very well and multitasking has remained a breeze. You don’t necessarily need the cutting edge to get great and reliable performance, and it shows in the Nexus 7 (2. Simplicity is the general idea when it comes to hardware in a Nexus device. You don’t get a micro. SD card slot or removable batteries, which is usually the case when it comes to tablets anyway. Regardless, the Nexus 7 (2. The Nexus 7 (2. 01. GB or 3. 2GB of storage, and the bits underneath are largely the standard — Wi- Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and NFC, you name it. However, the big difference here is that you can charge this tablet with a Qi Wireless Charger. The real story here, and probably one of the cooler hardware features, is the sound. We learned with the HTC One that front facing stereo speakers can be incredible, but on the Nexus 7 (2. That’s not a bad thing, though, as the stereo sound from these speakers is a vast improvement over last year’s tech. They are surprisingly loud for a device this size, and higher volumes offers some pretty rich sound — at lower volumes, however, that rich sound does taper off, and some sort of noise or hiss is audible. It’s a minor hiccup, but it’s noticeable. With claims of 9 hours of video and 1. Brought down to just 3,9. Ah, you get a smaller unit in this Nexus 7 (2. In a video looping test, I was able to get the battery down to 7. Usage during the day has been the real story, however, as performing typical, routine tasks, along with the occasional You. Tube video or some gaming, didn’t cause significant dents in battery life. Standby time has also been greatly improved — without plugging in the Nexus 7 for overnight charging, I found I had just about the same amount of power the morning after. With moderate usage, you should be able to get a day and half out of this tablet, possibly more. It’s a pretty impressive improvement over last year’s edition. One of the more significant updates to the Nexus 7 (2. Even though camera usage isn’t very optimal on a tablet, it is a nice addition when you just need a simple shot and nothing too fancy. The camera app brings all the usual capabilities you get in a stock Android camera app, and that includes Photo Sphere, an improved Photo Sphere, in fact. Picture quality is decent enough, but honestly, it’s nothing to get too excited about. The camera on the Nexus 7 (2. The new Nexus 7 has big shoes to fill, but Google has made all the right choices When Google launched the original Nexus 7 in June of last year, it in effect took the. So, the Nexus 7 (2013) takes on the Snapdragon S4 Pro processing package to bring great performance at an affordable price. The CPU clocks in at 1.5GHz, and is backed. Android 4.3. You can't escape Jelly Bean, even with a new version of Android making its debut on the 2013 Nexus 7. Android 4.3 is the third outing for the name, in. Shot with the Nexus 7 (2. Software is another place where the Nexus 7 (2. Android — Jelly Bean 4. This new incremental update is no overhaul, and the added changes may not be overly noticeable. The main new feature you may or may not use is with multi user restricted profiles. And with that, the owner gets more control over what content is available for other users registered to the Nexus 7 (2. It can be a handy feature if the tablet is frequently shared. I do notice some improved smoothness, and the overall speed has definitely had an increase, but ultimately, this is stock Android the way you remember it. As a Nexus device, of course, it will be privy to new updates before any other devices, and that’s always been a draw. Finally, we end at the price. The Nexus 7 (2. 01. For the base model of the Nexus 7 (2. Simple — you get enhancements that now make the Nexus 7 (2. Last year’s Nexus 7 (2. Great power in an easily accessible package, sleek and elegant design hiding reliable and fast performance, and quite simply an experience that I think anyone can love. When a tablet has the ability to reach everyone from general user to music addict to power gamer and everything in between, I think that gives it the right to be called one of the best.

Samsung M1.[3] Microsoft's KIN was the first cellular phone to use the Tegra; [4] however, the phone did not have an app store, so the Tegra's power did not provide much advantage. In September 2. 00. Nvidia and Opera Software announced that they would produce a version of the Opera 9. Tegra on Windows Mobile and Windows CE.[5][6] At Mobile World Congress 2. Nvidia introduced its port of Google's Android to the Tegra. On January 7, 2. 01. Nvidia officially announced and demonstrated its next generation Tegra system- on- a- chip, the Nvidia Tegra 2. Consumer Electronics Show 2. Nvidia primarily supports Android on Tegra 2, but booting other ARM- supporting operating systems is possible on devices where the bootloader is accessible. Tegra 2 support for the Ubuntu GNU/Linux distribution was also announced on the Nvidia developer forum.[8]Nvidia announced the first quad- core So. C at the February 2. Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona. Though the chip was codenamed Kal- El, it is now branded as Tegra 3. Early benchmark results show impressive gains over Tegra 2,[9][1. In January 2. 01. Nvidia announced that Audi had selected the Tegra 3 processor for its in- vehicle infotainment systems and digital instruments display.[1. The processor will be integrated into Audi's entire line of vehicles worldwide, beginning in 2. In summer of 2. 01.

My friend Julia teaches health for a local middle school. В В Did you hear me? SHE TEACHES HEALTH…also known as SEX ED…. MIDDLE SCHOOLERS. В It’s hilarious. В Every time we get together she tells me how she. В googled STD photos so that she could scare the little guys sexless. В And she has no problem saying words…ANATOMY words…in front of anyone. В В at any time. В В And of course there are the priceless questions from the sweet children who haven’t yet sat down with their folks for the birds and the bees talk. В Anyhoo…I thought that such a great girl deserved an extra great celebration. В В She and her husband Jade. В are expecting. В a little boy in the middle of August. В So. В our friend Brook and I decided that we. В would love to. В throw a teacher- themed baby shower. В You remember Brook, right? В I know I’ve said it before – but my number one party- throwin tip is to join forces with someone else. В It helps everything go soo much smoother…everything from the invites to the main event to the clean up is way easier when sharing the burden with a partner. В And speaking of the main event, we were able to find some really great inspiration from lots of different sources –В Whitney‘s baby shower, Martha’s wedding and. В Jen’s retirement party. В В Which leads me to my second tip for party. В planning…google. В В It helps. В to have a plethora of information on the internet…plus you can connect with other bloggers who have. В creative brains when yours is running low. В В В В So that is the background on our. В very teacher- y shower. В But you want to know what our. В notebook said when it came to Jule’s throw- down? В Well, we jotted down a bunch of different ideas –red, white & blueapplesblackboard agendabookscakeplatesapple cupcakesbrunchflashcardsschool subjects. Our brainstorming helped us focus our efforts in one general direction. В It is especially useful to jot down keywords for parties especially if you are working with someone else. В It really allows both people know what road you are going down. В And we were able to work in every single one of our keywords to make it a reality. В Ok. В So are you ready for the main event? В Welcome to Julia’s. В Teacher Themed Baby Shower. В В First up is the decor. В All the red, white and blue items were centrally located in our dining room. В We first. В picked out the serving sedishes for the food items that we were going to. В prepare and placed them on the table. В the night before. В Then we arranged a centerpiece. В В We knew that we wanted to include. В the homemade invitation in the centerpiece and. В also some apples. В В It’s always a good idea to add your height to the. В middle of the table too…so we decided that a tiered effect would do just the trick. В В В В The highest part of the centerpiece was a dress- me- up plate from Southern Living at Home placed on a candlestick. В All I did was add some double sided tape to secure it and then we added layered apples for a pyramid of fruit (the middle apple was given a boost with a mini bowl meant for soysauce turned upside down). В The second highest “cakeplate” was also just a white ruffle- edged plate on a smaller candlestick. В It held our invite that boasted an apple stamp and font that hinted at the teacher theme. В Lastly, we have a small stack of hardback books that I wrapped in some packing paper and tied up with a bit of twine. В We even added a tag that said Ethan William – a cheeky nod to the unborn. В And on top was an apple dish (picked up at TJMaxx clearance. В for $3) that was actually a prize for the winners of one of the games. В It’s such a great idea to work in your prizes into your decor. В Especially when they are super cheap! В The entire display was flanked with two milk- glass candlesticks I picked up as a Valentine’s Day momento long ago. В On the dessert table (which was actually the buffet in the back of the room), we used another dress- me- up plate as a way to announce our menu. В Don’t ya love our silly. В school- themed names for the dishes?! В Gotta love a little randomosity В The menu plate. В was held up by an apple plate stand which I scored at a yard sale for only 2. В I love how the ribbon ties into the little red, white and blue pennant banner I made for draping over the mirrors. В The whole arrangement ties into the dining room table not only with it’s color scheme but also because we used the same matching runners (ones I scored long ago at Crate & Barrel for cheap!)Brook and I decided that we would only use red white or blue dishware. В And when it came to the desert table, we had some appetizer. В dishes that were. В the perfect size for a single cupcake. В And we were sure to. В provide an additional napkin – just in case they. В dirtied up their brunch one. В В В В And for the main course – brunch – we provided navy dishes that you may recognize from the baby shower dinner party. В The silverware was rolled up in. В various red, white and blue napkins. В and casually placed in a red casserole dish. В This arrangement made it easy for guests to hold all their silverware, their plate and have a free hand to. В dish out the yummy food. В В В В Brook had the good idea to place extra napkins under the dishes…and in my opinion, it makes the entire display look even more casual and refreshing. В Sortof like a fourth- of- july picnic. В Ok – so now that you got the lowdown on our decor – let’s get the my favorite part…the food! В We served an egg casserole that had loads of cheese, ham and eggs. В And because we wanted to serve a light vegetable – we created some cucumber sandwiches with fun little garnishes. В Yeah – it’s just one of the strips of cucumber peel pushed through a toothpick. В but I thought it was pretty genius And of course, it wouldn’t be brunch without a giant bowl of fruit. В We picked fruits that were in season to cut down on costs and served it it up with decadent fruit dip. Since we had healthy fruit, we decided that the perfect partner would be some sticky, gooey, nutty bread for adding a little beef to all the ladies’ hips. В Monkey Bread did just the trick. В Oh gosh…just looking at it makes me. В salivate. В Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my keyboard. And to drink we had an entire tea/coffee bar plus some ice cold water and a big bowl of punch. В Recognize the punch bowl? В I thought you might 1. Lastly, we had those yummy apple inspired cupcakes. В Aren’t they adorable? В Perfect for an apple- themed shower, or back to school parties or even graduation shindigs. В Brook found the recipe in a magazine I think. В But they are super simple to replicate. В Just make a white cupcake in a red liner and top with a wee bit of red icing. В Then. В slice a mini donut in half. В (lay it on the counter and cut it parallel to the counter). В В Lay 1/2 of the round donut onto the icing and then ice the whole thing. В Dip the top in. В red sugar sprinkles and add a chocolate leaf and a half a tootsie roll for the stem. В В В As soon as everyone got their food, we were able to sit and relax for a bit before games began. В Thankfully Brook borrowed these trays for everyone to sit and eat. В I need some of these. В I decided. В Like 4. В You know. В Just in case. By this time, we had gotten way past our first activities. В So let me rewind a bit. В Our first activity was Handwriting in which we prepared note cards with the months of the year on them. В These were for each person to write a personal note to Julia for each of the 1. Ethan’s arrival. В We figured that this would be something nice for her to look forward to when she is up to her elbows in dirty diapers and bottles. В Then came our Math game. В We cut out an apple from red paper and asked each person to guess how many apples it would take to measure the circumfrence of Julia’s baby belly. В Then we had to calculate the width of the apple and her bump and divide. В Snack Time was eating. В Duh. Then came creative thinking – it was a flashcard game in which we partnered up and game each person one minute to name baby items beginning with the flash card letter. В It was a lot harder than you might think. В But the flash cards were super cute. Then came gift time. В This was my favorite. В Mostly because I got to sit down. В My dogs were barking. And then Brook’s mother in law insisted that I read the book I gave Julia. В It was “Love You Forever”. В Let me just tell you…there were enough tears in that room afterward to drown a cat. В And the hormones? В Yeah. В It was out of control. В We finished up with a little game that we had explained as English. В Whenever Julia opened a present, the giver jotted down the exclamation that she said…it could have been like “OH how cute!” or “Yay! В I wanted one of these!” or “Butt Paste? В Ok. В I can work with this.” and then we opened the little card they wrote it on to explain the meaning of the exclamation. В Some were really funny. В Like the butt paste one was “What Julia said the night she conceived Ethan”…. What Julia. В will say when the doctor clears her for hanky panky”. В You gotta love funny little games that totally embarrass the guest of honor В We rounded out the shower with little lunch bags that contained an apple juice box and a bag of chocolate chip cookies. В We also slipped in little magnets that announced Ethan’s due date and a prayer card with Julia’s requests. В Overall, I think it was a definite top two of showers in my mind. В I loved the overall theme and the fact that we didn’t really worry about the entire thing until the night before. В Gotta love it when you don’t. В lose sleep over an event! So what did you think? В Do you love the apple theme? В How bout the games? В Any one of them strike your fancy? В Or maybe you are still drooling over that monkey bread or those apple- inspired cupcakes? В One of those a day would probably not keep the doctor away. The International 2015 was the fifth iteration of Dota 2's flagship annual championship.

It's a traditional roguelike, again complete with brutal perma- death and ASCII graphics, the product of collaborative development over a huge amount of time. This is a game all about discovery, and many have scoured its dungeons for years attempting to find all its secrets. It's an undisputed PC classic. Beneath a Steel Sky. Get it from GOG. com. Why it makes the list. With the launch of Good Old Games in 2. Revolution Software - lost its price tag. While it's certainly dated now, Beneath a Steel Sky is a masterful work of storytelling, complete with decent puzzles to boot, and blows many modern adventure games - ones with very real prices attached - out of the water. Get it from Source. Forge. Why it makes the list. There are those who would say Passage isn't worth your time. Every year, the international PC Gamer team puts its heads together to hash out a list of the hundred PC games you need to play. This year, we're stressing 'play'.
It's over in five minutes, and there's only minimal interaction. But this small but beautifully constructed art game from Jason Rohrer - who went on to make Sleep Is Death, picking up a 9. PC Gamer in the process - is surprisingly moving for a thing of its size. The game asks what you want out of life, and then shows you how the passage of time will make this play out as you wander from left to right towards the inevitable. A lovely thing. 7. Digital: A Love Story. Download it from the website. Why it makes the list. Budding writer Christine Love emerged out of nowhere to create a computer game last year. Part Uplink- alike, part visual novel, Digital tells the story of a lonely teenager in the late 1.

System Shock 2 might get all the plaudits most of the time, but the original 1. It's a tense, forward- thinking action adventure that did things most shooters weren't even dreaming of at the time - like trying to tell a complex and involved story, for example. Since it's effectively been deemed abandonware, you can play the whole game from either your hard drive or a USB stick for no money whatsoever. And you should: it was a real milestone, a landmark in PC gaming history. Neptune's Pride. Get it on the official website. Why it makes the list. This huge 4. X strategy game is a little out of the ordinary. Instead of joining your friends for play sessions at the same time, attempting to take over the galaxy in one complete burst, Neptune's Pride is designed to be played over a period of weeks, as everyone battles for control over every star available. Its exceptionally slow pace encourages careful planning, strategising away from the computer screen, and striking up deals with opposing players outside of the game itself. There are so many options to consider. That's why Neptune's Pride was our. For a sense of quite how involved this game is, try reading. Rock, Paper, Shotgun. Gravity Bone. Grab it from Blendo's website. Why it makes the list. It's best to know as little as possible about Gravity Bone before you play it, otherwise you'll ruin the precise reason why it's so exceptional.

Here at PC Gamer we'll always big up Id Software's seminal online shooter Quake III Arena in any way we can. And that's especially true when you can play it for absolutely no coins at all. Arena is certainly ageing now, and has probably been bettered in its field overall. But to this day, no game has managed to match its ludicrous tempo, its sheer sense of kinetic energy, and its masterful map design. Quake Live is Quake III in a browser. It runs just as smoothly, looks just as good, and is just as much of a tremendous riot as you remember from all those years ago. Essential playing if you have an internet connection and a sensible taste in multiplayer games. Get it from Spelunky World. Why it makes the list. On the surface, it looks like a simple platformer. You're an explorer, delving deep into a network of caves, trying to avoid the scheming enemies and deadly traps that reside within. So far, so standard - even if its levels are procedurally generated each time you start the game. But it's only when you start to push at the outer limits of what you think Spelunky can do that you realise quite how remarkable this game is. Derek Yu has created a game that encourages you to be cheeky, and rewards you for breaking the rules every so often. It's also unfathomably tight as a platformer, and while it's brutally difficult, it's a challenge you quickly learn to work with, rather than resent. The environments change as you plough on through, and there are plenty of secrets to be found. I still haven't completed the bloody thing after two years, as there's no save feature and I'm simply not good enough, but it's still one of my favourite games in the world, free or otherwise. Drag Racing Tuning Hints and Tips. There was a huge amount of interest in the Drag Racing car upgrades in our previous post. We hope the setup info improved your game so that you could beat many opponents. However, as you’ve probably noticed, you need to buy the tuning pack to properly take advantage of your race machine…[If you're keen to have an edge against your friends with a decent tuned car (and you don't have time to learn how), then 'like' us on Facebook where you'll be able to see all the upgrade settings and car tunes which we've shared in our comments so far.]In this article we teach you how to tune your machine with a second gear launch start. (Don’t worry we’ll explain this later). But first you need to focus on getting your money and respect points. I know I’ve explained this before, but I found out that actually the respect points aren’t that hard to get. There are two ways of pumping this up fast: 1) is to go and download the other promotional games and collect free respect points (don’t worry you can remove those games after you’ve gotten your respect points)… or 2) go into Race Online > Bet and Race with a fully tuned beast and then you’ll be laughing! If money is what you’re lacking then you’ll want to go into Race Online > Pro League and go into the best level where you’re getting 1st, 2nd or 3rd place.
Notice, I don’t just say the highest level outright, because this might not be where you’re winning the top places. (Remember you’re competing with the world here, so it’s no surprise that you may be outmatched). So if you’re not on the podium then you’ll probably earn more money and respect points in a lower category where you are on the podium. This is where there’s a slight discrepancy which you may be able to take advantage of. Look at the Upgrades page with the setups and you’ll notice that some cars are the top race vehicle for multiple levels. That means that there’s a slightly higher chance that the ultimate race drivers would upgrade …. Lamborghini from a level 5 to a level 6. In otherwords your competition might just move up… leaving a slightly higher chance for you to rinse the newbies in level 5 with a Lambo. Fancy a race? We’ve got you covered with Forza, Grid, and more of the best racing games of the last few years.We’re sharing our top tips for how to upgrade your race machine! Are you tired of losing your drag races? Or annoyed at how your best gear changing efforts seem to. Second Gear Launch Start. You can do this by pressing on the accelerator and sliding down to the gear tab. You don’t need to lift your thumb off the screen. The reason for doing this is because this requires less accuracy with your gear change from 1st to 2nd. Therefore it’ll drastically improve your launch consistency and reduce the chances of you losing points in the Pro League. Also, it’ll give you perfect launch starts which will increase your income…. And we like giving info and methods which are easy to replicate! After doing a second gear launch start, you want to use the nitrous at the same time of your 3rd gear change. Technically speaking though, if you’re using one less gear then you’re reducing your gear progression, and so you won’t be reaching the most ultimate times. Your lap finishes would be faster driving the normal way, but it needs a lot of practise to get the first gear change correct because you need to time the accelerator, and gear up at the correct rpm. But that doesn’t matter because we’re going to show you that you can at least be pretty darn good with one gear less! Custom Avatars.

To understand the numbers fully, you’ll have to know that the game is modelled on a real engine. So you can goto these websites to understand how everything ties together with real engines. How. Stuff. Works, Wiki Page on Gear Ratios). Otherwise, here’s a quick overview of what we understand: The gear ratios represent the amount of engine spinning we’re going to turn into wheel spins and it’s a reciprocal relationship. So if it’s a high number, then we’re going to get less wheel spins, but more Torque or Force. If it’s a low number, then we’re going to get a higher number of wheel spins and less torque (… less than 1 would be overdrive). At the same time, Torque is related to acceleration… if you have greater Force, then the car will accelerate faster. This is where you start seeing some relationships form. You initially want to start the car with more force to accelerate hard, and eventually you want to overdrive to reach your top speed. Generally the engines have some rpm ranges which are better for transitioning (like sweet spots), so you want to try and set the ratios so that the rpm between gears isn’t too drastic (and is near the sweet spot). From a more practical standpoint, you’re only going to care about the gears relative to one another. So if you’re adjusting numbers between two gears and you bring the numbers closer together, then when you gear up, the resulting rpm would be higher and you would need to gear change earlier. If you increase the difference between the numbers, then when you gear up, the resulting rpm would be lower and your next gear change will be later. Try this yourself and make sure you keep an eye on the rpm once you’ve changed gear. Notice, that this rpm level all depends on the speed you’re going… therefore you should always start with the lower gears and perfect them before moving on to the higher gears. The final drive is also a ratio but has a multiplier effect on the engine spins. It’s actually the most important figure and can affect everything else. This is the hardest to understand and the numbers here are the other way round. So if you have a high number, then your engine spins will be amplified more … we’re presuming that the torque would be less too and so you get slower acceleration. If you have a low number then you’ll have lower number of spins and a high torque which would enable higher acceleration. For this final drive you want a balance between amplification and torque, so you’ll generally be in the middle. To get an ultimate drive you’ll be tweaking this figure in the thousandths. Overview. The rough flow you should follow is: Set your Final Drive, First Gear and Second Gear figures for a 2nd gear launch start. Take note of the rpm and the amount of wheelspin. Identify if you’re going for a quarter, half or mile long race. The longer your race, the more important your top speed is, and therefore your highest gear ratio needs to be as low as possible. If you’re in a short race, then your top speed may not even be reached and therefore the rpm for perfect transitioning is more important. In otherwords there may be very little time between the gear changes. If in doubt, then just aim to tune so that the rpm is quite high between each gear change. Finish adjusting the remaining gears (4 – 6 or 7). If you’re losing the long distance races, then read point 2), and reduce all numbers from 4th gear downwards. If you were aiming to get a really fast time, then tweak your final drive first… i. Then adjust your gears if you feel you can squeeze an inkling more ability out of them. Tuning method for a second gear launch. Load up the car stock settings and set the Final Drive to 1. Then do a second gear launch in a test drive. Take note of where the red needle is on the rpm counter. This is where the needle will jump to when you gear up if your final drive wasn’t 1. Now change your 2nd gear and test drive until you get the red pointer is roughly where the red bar on the speedometer starts. (Engine details above help explain this… if the rpm is too low, then bring the numbers closer together. If the rpm is too high, then increase the difference between the two). Now begin raising the final drive until you start getting some wheel spin. You can see the wheel spin from the lit up icon on your dashboard when you drive. Now continue to raise the final drive, but keep an eye on the speedometer needle. Your aim is to get as high a FD as possible, without the red needle falling. If it’s stationary and then it increases in rpm, then that’s good. If the rpms fall before it increases, that’s bad and you want to reduce your FD. Once you’ve done this then you’ll have the optimum launch start setup (for your current gear 1 and 2 ratios). So the FD is not too low so that it wastes time when you start, and not too high to cause you to lose traction with wheel spins. Before I go any further, I should make it clear that it’s possible to have a different FD with different gear 1 and 2 ratios. But your FD has an amplifying effect on all your gears… so herein lies the problem – what FD is perfect for your car overall? Unfortunately, you don’t know, and it’s largely trial and error… if you’re a pro tuner, then you want this low so that you can adjust your gears in the thousandths. If in any doubt here, then just start with the stock gear 1 setting, and tune from there. Third gear is slightly different as you’re using your Nitrous. This third gear and Nitrous act as a pair. Increasing the duration time is the same as reducing the third gear ratio because both reduce the force applied. Set the NOS to around about 2. Increase your 3rd gear ratio until you see the wheel spinning happening when you gear to 3rd and activate the NOS. Take note of what rpm is seen when you change to third. If the setup is such that the resultant rpm is really low, then you’ll need to increase your 3rd gear ratio so the resultant rpm is acceptable whilst increasing your NOS duration time. The reason for not letting the rpm fall too low is because you want the engine to be in its active rpm region as explained earlier. Getting this right takes practise and guess work, but its similar to how you adjusted the [FD, 1st and 2nd gear] set. The next thing to do is alter the remaining gear ratios. They should be handled in a group where the higher gears are affected by the lower ones: so as you change a 4th gear, you’ll alter the 5th and 6th gears at the same time. If you change a 5th gear, you’ll change a 6th gear too. Team Building Activities and Games for Youth Groups.

Gun safety - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This article is about techniques for the safe handling, possession, and storage of firearms. For wider political and legal issues concerning firearms and gun safety, see Gun politics and Gun control. For the part of a firearm called a "safety" or "safety catch", see Safety (firearms). Gun safety rules and recommendations are intended to avoid accidental discharge or negligent discharge, or the consequences of firearm malfunctions. Their purpose is to eliminate or minimize the risks of unintentional death, injury or damage caused by improper possession, storage, or handling of firearms.

The firearm is pointed at the ground and the handler's finger is off the trigger. Gun safety training seeks to instill a certain mindset and appropriate habits by following specific rules. The mindset is that firearms are inherently dangerous and must always be stored carefully and handled with care. Handlers are taught to treat firearms with respect for their destructive capabilities, and strongly discouraged from playing or toying with firearms, a common cause of accidents. The rules of gun safety follow from this mindset. In 1. 90. 2, the English politician and game shooting enthusiast Mark Hanbury Beaufoy wrote some much- quoted verses on gun safety, including many salient points. His verses "A Father's Advice" begin with the following: [2][3]If a sportsman true you'd be. Listen carefully to me: Never, never, let your gun. Pointed be at anyone.. Ira L. Revees, in his 1. The A B C of Rifle, Revolver and Pistol Shooting,[4] stated the following: "The Accident- Proof Rule": "The muzzle of a firearm should never point in a direction in which, if discharged, it would do injury where injury is not meant to be done.""the companion rule of the one just given": "All firearms are at all times loaded.""The trigger should never be pulled until the identity of the thing fired at has been established beyond any doubt."Various version of the "Ten Commandments of Gun Safety" have been published. This one is from the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia: [5]Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun. Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, into your car, camp and home. Always be sure that the barrel and action are clear of obstructions. Always carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle. Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. Never leave your gun unattended unless you unload it first. Never climb a tree or a fence with a loaded gun. Never shoot at a flat, hard surface or the surface of water. Do not mix gunpowder and alcohol. Jeff Cooper, an influential figure in modern firearms training, formalized and popularized "Four Rules" of safe firearm handling. Prior lists of gun safety rules included as few as three basic safety rules or as many as ten rules including gun safety and sporting etiquette rules. In addition to Cooper, other influential teachers of gun safety include Massad Ayoob, Clint Smith, Chuck Taylor, Jim Crews, Bob Munden and Ignatius Piazza. Jeff Cooper's Four Rules: [6]All guns are always loaded. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it. The National Rifle Association provides a similar set of rules: [7]ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. Project Appleseed provides similar rules for their rifle marksmanship clinics: [8]Always keep the muzzle in a safe direction. Do not load until given the load command. Keep your finger off the trigger until the sights are on the target. Make sure those around you follow the safety rules. The Canadian Firearms Program uses the concept of The Four Firearm ACTS: [9]Assume every firearm is loaded. Control the muzzle direction at all times. Trigger finger off trigger and out of trigger guard. See that the firearm is unloaded. PROVE it safe. Blank ammunition, which is a primed casing filled with gunpowder, either crimped or covered with a wad, is dangerous up to 1. In the past, people have injured or killed themselves believing that blanks were not dangerous. Therefore, gun safety rules apply even to guns loaded with blanks. Treat firearms as if they are loaded[edit]. Barrel for dry firing, in order to ultimately check the unloaded state of a firearm. This rule is a matter of keeping a certain mindset. The purpose is to create safe handling habits, and to discourage reasoning along the lines of, "I know my gun is unloaded so certain unsafe practices are OK." The proposition "the gun is always loaded" means that, even though it may be known that this is not true of a particular firearm, that knowledge is never trusted or relied upon. Thus even if it somehow turned out to be incorrect, the error would not be deadly. Many firearm accidents result from the handler mistakenly believing a firearm is emptied, safetied, or otherwise disabled when in fact it is ready to be discharged. Such misunderstandings can arise from a number of sources. Faulty handling of the firearm. A handler may execute the steps of procedures such as loading, firing and emptying in the wrong order or omit steps of the procedures. Misunderstandings about a firearm's status. For instance, a handler may think the safety is on when it is not. A round of ammunition may be in the chamber or in the magazine while the handler thinks it is empty. A handler may receive a firearm and assume it is in a certain state without checking whether that assumption is true. For example, as handlers interact and pass the firearm between them, each avoids over- relying on the "show clear" of the other. Person 1 may misjudge the status; person 2 cannot assume that "it's OK because person 1 already checked it."Mechanical failures. Wear, faulty assembly, damage or faulty design of the firearm can cause it not to function as intended. For instance, a safety may have been worn down to a point where it is no longer functioning. Broken or worn parts in the trigger, sear or hammer/striker may have given the firearm a "hair trigger" (a very sensitive trigger). A dented or bent body of the firearm may cause jams or premature discharge of ammunition. Sensitivity to impact may cause a firearm to discharge if dropped or struck against another object. If a handler always treats firearms as capable of being discharged at any time, the handler is more likely to take precautions to prevent an unintentional discharge and to avoid damage or injury if one does occur.[1. Point the muzzle away from non- targets[edit]This rule is intended to minimize the damage caused by an unintended discharge. The first rule teaches that a firearm must be assumed to be ready to fire. This rule goes beyond that and says, "Since the firearm might fire, assume that it will and make sure no harm occurs when it does."A consequence of this rule is that any kind of playing or "toying" with firearms is prohibited. Playfully pointing firearms at people or other non- targets violates this rule and is possibly an extreme endangerment to life and/or property. To discourage this kind of behavior, the rule is sometimes alternately stated, "Never point a firearm at anything unless you intend to destroy it.". Two natural "safe" directions to point the muzzle are up (at the sky) and down (at the ground). Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Firing at the ground may result in a ricochet or cause hazardous fragments to be flung at people or objects. Aiming upward eliminates this risk but replaces it with the risk that the bullet may cause damage when it comes down to the ground again. A bullet fired straight up only returns at the terminal velocity of the bullet.[1. However, a bullet fired at an angle not perfectly vertical will retain its spin on the way down and can attain much more lethal speeds.[1. Several accidents have reportedly been caused by discharging firearms into the air; although the evidence in a few such cases has been disputed,[1. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found 4. New Year celebrations in Puerto Rico.[1. It is also possible that the muzzle will inadvertently be pointed at a non- target such as someone's head or an aircraft.[1. In cases where the firearm is being handled indoors, up and down may not be safe directions. For example, a bullet fired upward may travel through a ceiling and into an adjacent floor. In indoor areas where firearms will be handled often, a suitably safe direction should be designated. Firing ranges often designate a direction in which it is safe to point a firearm; almost universally this is downrange into a backstop which is designed to contain bullets and eliminate potential ricochets. In armories or other areas where weapons must be handled, a container filled with sand known as a "clearing barrel" or "clearing can" is often used for this purpose. Keep fingers off the trigger[edit]. Finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard. This rule is intended to prevent an undesired discharge. Normally a firearm is discharged by pressing its trigger. A handler's finger may involuntarily move for any of several reasons: the handler is startled, a lack of full attention on body movements, physiological reasons beyond conscious control such as a spasm, stumbling or falling, or the finger being pushed by something (as when trying to holster a handgun with one's finger on the trigger). Handlers are therefore taught to minimize the harmful effects of such a motion by keeping their finger off the trigger until the muzzle is pointing at the target and the handler wishes to discharge the firearm. |
