S3


The Galaxy S III uses Google's Android mobile operating system, which was introduced commercially in 2008.[44] Its TouchWiz "Nature UX" graphical user interface (GUI)—which is influenced by the "organic" customer trend—is more interactive than Samsung's previous GUIs, with the notable addition of the "Water Lux" effect, which produces ripples upon contact.[23] To complement the TouchWiz interface, and as a response to Apple's Siri, the phone introduces S Voice, Samsung's intelligent personal assistant. S Voice can recognize eight languages including English, Korean and French.[45] Based on Vlingo, S Voice enables the user to verbally control 20 functions such as playing a song, setting the alarm, or activating driving mode; it relies on Wolfram Alpha for online searches.[46]
The S III comes with Android version 4.0.4, officially named "Ice Cream Sandwich", which became commercially available in March 2012 with the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus.[47]Ice Cream Sandwich has a refined user interface, expanded camera capabilities, security features and connectivity.[48] In mid-June 2012, Google unveiled Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean", which employs Google Now, a voice-assistant similar to S Voice, and incorporates other software changes. Samsung accommodated Jelly Bean in the S III by making last-minute hardware changes to the phone in some markets.[49] Jelly Bean updates began rolling out to S IIIs in selected European countries, and to the T-Mobile in the United States in November.[50][51] On October 17, Samsung announced, that US S IIIs will be updated to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean "in the coming months".[52] The S III is also compatible withCyanogenMod 10, a custom firmware that implements the characteristics of Jelly Bean.[53]
The S III comes with a multitude of pre-installed applications including standard Android ones such as YouTube, Google+, Voice Search, Google Play, Gmail, Map, and Calendar, in addition to Samsung-specific apps such as ChatON, Game Hub, Video Hub, Social Hub and Navigation.[54][55] To address the fact that iPhone users are reluctant to switch to Android because the OS is not compatible with iTunes, from June 2012 Samsung offered customers of its Galaxy series the Easy Phone Sync app to enable the transfer of music, photos, videos, podcasts, and text messages from an iPhone to a Galaxy device.[56] The user is able to access Google Play, a digital-distribution multimedia-content service exclusive to Android, to download applications, movies, music, TV programs, games, books, and magazines.[57]
Apart from S Voice, Samsung has directed the bulk of the S III's marketing campaign towards the device's "smart" features, which facilitate improved human-device interactivity. These features include: "Direct Call", or the handset's ability to recognise when a user wants to talk to somebody instead of messaging them, if they bring the phone to their head; "Social Tag", a function that identifies and tags people in a photo and shares photos with them; and "Pop Up Play", which allows a video and other applications to occupy the screen at the same time.[58] In addition, the S III can beam its screen to a TV or be used as a remote controller (AllShare Cast and Play) and share photos with people who are tagged in them (Buddy Photo Share).[58] Other software features include Smart Alerts, Smart Stay, and S Beam.[58]
The S III can access and play traditional media formats such as music, movies, TV programs, audiobooks, and podcasts, and can sort its media library alphabetically by song title, artist, album, playlist, folder, and genre. One notable feature of the S III's music player is Music Square, which analyses a song's intensity and ranks the song by mood so that the user can play songs according to their current emotional state.[59] With the release of the S III, Samsung debuted its proprietary music management and download application called "Music Hub", designed to compete with Apple's iTunes, iCloud, and iTunes Match services. Music Hub's music catalogue contains over 19 million songs.[60]
The S III was the first smartphone to support Voice Over LTE with the introduction of HD Voice service in South Korea.[61] The phone enables video calling with its 1.9 MP front-facing camera, and with support for the apt-X codec, improves Bluetooth-headset connectivity.[62] Texting on the S III does not embody any new significant features from the S II. Speech-to-text is aided by the Vlingo and Google's voice-recognition assistant. Not unlike other Android devices, there are a multitude of third-party typing applications available that could complement the S III's stock keyboard.[63]
On 18 June 2012, Samsung announced that the S III would have a version with enterprise software under the company's Samsung Approved For Enterprise (SAFE) program, an initiative that facilitates the use of private Android devices by professional employees, also known as "Bring Your Own Device".[64] The enterprise S III version would support AES-256 bit encryption, VPN and Mobile Device Management functionality, and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.[65] It was scheduled to be released in the U.S. in July 2012. The enterprise version was expected to penetrate the business market dominated by Research in Motion's BlackBerry, following the release of similar enterprise versions of the Galaxy Note, Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Tab line of tablet computers.[65][66]
A separate "Developer Edition" of the S III was made available from Samsung's Developer Portal. It came with an unlockable bootloader to allow the user to modify the phone's software.[67]

糖果罐里好多颜色 微笑却不甜了
你的某些快乐 在没有我的时刻
中古世纪的城市里 我想就走到这
海鸥不再眷恋大海 可以飞更远

远方传来风笛 我只在意有你的消息
城堡为爱守着秘密 而我为你守着回忆

明明就 不习惯 牵手
为何却主动把手勾
你的心事太多 我不会戳破
明明就 他比较 温柔
也许他能给你更多
不用抉择 我会自动变朋友

明明就 不习惯 牵手
为何却主动把手勾
你的心事太多 我不会戳破

Healthy lifestyle

Living a healthy lifestyle is certainly not easy. A healthy lifestyle is defined by three different categories: physical, mental/emotional and spiritual. In order to live a truly healthy lifestyle, you must balance all three categories and they must all function together simultaneously.
In order to live a physically healthy lifestyle, you must learn how to balance your every day life. Doing a minimum of thirty minutes of cardiovascular activity for just three days a week, can do a myriad number of positive things for your body. Not only can physical activity extend your years of life, but it can also reduce the likelihood of getting many health related problems. Exercising is not the only important feature of being physically healthy, though. A healthy diet is key. The food pyramid is there for a reason! Statistically, America has a very high mortality rate due to obesity. Portioning your food correctly can do wonders! Along with exercise and a healthy diet, sleep is also very important! A healthy range of hours of sleep is between 7-9 hours. Once you’ve reached a state of balance, you will already feel that much better physically, and even mentally.
Having significant others and people that care about you is needed to have a healthy lifestyle. Whether you have a best friend, spouse, significant other or children, having people you can share your life with will always assist you on the road to a healthy lifestyle. A functional relationship with at least one other human being will get you through confusing, problematic situations and hard times. At the same time, having that man or woman by your side during the fun, fantastic and great events will be nothing but spectacular. You need and want a relationship with a person you can call your spouse, family member or friend.

WOT


World of Tanks is a massively multiplayer online game developed by Belarusian company Wargaming.net featuring mid-20th century era fighting vehicles. It is built upon a freemium business model where participants have the option of paying a small fee to advance at an accelerated rate. The focus is on player vs. player gameplay with each player controlling a tank or armored vehicle. World of Tanks debuted as an eSports game at the World Cyber Games 2012.[3]
The game models the effects of both armor and cover and includes more than 240 armored vehicles from the Soviet Union, Germany, Britain, France, China and the United States. Japanese tanks have also been confirmed to be in development. A planned "Tree of Europe" has also been confirmed featuring Italian, Swedish and Polish tanks with Hungary and Romania possible.[4][5] The vehicles have been carefully detailed with historical visual accuracy,[6][7] but as this is not a tank simulator, certain parameters (e.g. reduced main gun characteristics-range and penetration physics have been simplified) and in-game controls are very user friendly for gameplay.[8] Eventually, there will be around 500 vehicles available in the game. World of Tanks was released on April 12 2008 in Russia. One year later it was released for the People's Republic of China, later becoming available for the territories of Europe,North AmericaSouth East Asia and Vietnam.
World of Tanks is the first game of the Belarusian company Wargaming.net to be released under the "Play 4 Free" model, which will see the game released for free with revenue generated from micropayments in the form of in-game currency, which can then be used to convert free experience gained for the purpose of acquiring Elite Status in a vehicle. To convert free experience a player is required to spend money to purchase the in-game currency, "gold". Converting free experience into usable experience is not free of charge.[9]
World of Tanks holds a Guinness World Record in the category of Most Players Online Simultaneously on one MMO Server. The record was registered on January 23, 2011 when the number of players on the game’s Russian server totaled 91,311.[10] This record was beaten by the European server on 13 April 2012 during the anniversary special weekend where all players could enter a code to be Premium account holders for a day. Numbers of over 305,000 were recorded during this period.
As of 2012, there are 45,000,000 registered players worldwide.[11] On October 4th, 2012, the game reached a record-breaking 500,000 concurrent players online on one server based in Russia.[12] Within two weeks of the launch of the South Korean server, the number of concurrent users in Korea reached 10,000.[13]

SA


Currently in Sudden Attack, there are 11 game modes.
Assault: Two teams of three players fight. The Red team spawns inside a building and must either kill all Blue team members or survive until the time is up. Blue team spawn at choose-able locations outside a hedge border around the map. The Blue team may activate a radar in the control room in the second floor of the building. Blue team must kill all Red team members before the time is up.
Team Deathmatch: First team to hit the kill goal wins the match. Or the team with most kill when the time expired, wins.
Bomb Plantation: A "search-and-destroy" type of game mode. Red team is given the C4 and the Blue team must defuse if it was planted. There are two planting locations in each map available to this mode. If the Red team is Eliminated the game is also won. If time runs out the Blue team wins by Default.
Free Fire: All players will compete with each other in a deathmatch and the first person to hit the kill goal wins the match.
Hostage Rescue: Blue team has to rescue a specific hostage inside a specific time limit. The hostage is located in the middle of the map and Blue team must first release the hostage (being tied up to a wall) and bring her/him to the safe zone. Additional time is awarded when Blue team successfully releases the hostage, but both teams stop respawning until the next match after releasing the hostage. Blue team wins if they successfully escort the hostage to the safe zone or by releasing the hostage and successfully kill every player in the Red team. Red Team wins either by stopping Blue Team from rescuing the hostage or by killing every player in the Blue Team after releasing the hostage.
Siege/Control: The Red Team or Blue Team must control the objective in the middle of the map for the longest. The Game is won if either team successful completes the timer or if they are the last team to have control of the objective when the match time runs out.
Capture the Target/Escort: The Blue team must capture the objects on the map and bring them back to the drop zone. The Red team, however, must stop them by any means. Game is successful won if both objects are escorted, or if 1 is escorted and another destroyed. The Red team wins if the targets are not captured and time runs out.
Sub Mission/Special Mode: Generally, the point of this game mode is limited. Meaning you are unable to play normally. For example, the map cross counter is a sniper rifle only map meaning only sniper rifles, sidearms and knives are allowed to be used. Another example is the map monkey garden. Where you can only use your knife. Note that when hosting a room it is possible to make normal maps have these rules by going into room settings
Touchdown Mode: Both teams try to acquire a target and try to make a touchdown on the enemy's base.
Runaway Mode: Red team tries to kill the blue team with a basic knife only. Blue team is only allowed to run away from the red team and is allowed to use grenades. The Blue team must dodge and otherwise avoid the Red teams attacks until the time limit is met. If the Blue team is eliminated before the time limit is exceeded then the red team wins.
Headhunt Mode: Everyone can only kill by headshots.If a player shoots the opponent's body, the shooter will be killed instantly, while the opponent re-spawns immediately without counting death score.
Big Head Mode: Players begin the game but with a big head. In the game mode, there's a meter on the top of the screen. If a player kills an opponent, his head will become bigger until he/she reach the maximum stage which will make the player become a Head Honcho. Their head will get smaller if they get killed by an opponent. When a player becomes aHead Honcho, he will become invincible and use a toy hammer as a weapon for 15 seconds.
Vampire Mode: In this mode, players are randomly chosen to be the Host Vampire and the rest of the players will be the Vampire Hunters. As a Host Vampire, your objective is to kill and turn the Hunters into Vampires. As Hunters, your objective is to kill the Vampires (by using the new vampire hunting weapons) and prevent them from respawning (by using Pile V.H. melee weapon) or just survive until the time is over.

Dog


The essay below demonstrates the principles of writing a basic essay. The different parts of the essay have been labeled. The thesis statement is in bold, the topic sentences are in italics, and each main point is underlined. When you write your own essay, of course, you will not need to mark these parts of the essay unless your teacher has asked you to do so. They are marked here just so that you can more easily identify them.


"A dog is man's best friend." That common saying may contain some truth, but dogs are not the only animal friend whose companionship people enjoy. For many people, a cat is their best friend. Despite what dog lovers may believe, cats make excellent housepets as they are good companions, they are civilized members of the household, and they are easy to care for.
In the first place, people enjoy the companionship of cats. Many cats are affectionate. They will snuggle up and ask to be petted, or scratched under the chin. Who can resist a purring cat? If they're not feeling affectionate, cats are generally quite playful. They love to chase balls and feathers, or just about anything dangling from a string. They especially enjoy playing when their owners are participating in the game. Contrary to popular opinion, cats can be trained. Using rewards and punishments, just like with a dog, a cat can be trained to avoid unwanted behavior or perform tricks. Cats will even fetch!
In the second place, cats are civilized members of the household. Unlike dogs, cats do not bark or make other loud noises. Most cats don't even meow very often. They generally lead a quiet existence. Cats also don't often have "accidents." Mother cats train their kittens to use the litter box, and most cats will use it without fail from that time on. Even stray cats usually understand the concept when shown the box and will use it regularly. Cats do have claws, and owners must make provision for this. A tall scratching post in a favorite cat area of the house will often keep the cat content to leave the furniture alone. As a last resort, of course, cats can be declawed.
Lastly, one of the most attractive features of cats as housepets is their ease of care. Cats do not have to be walked. They get plenty of exercise in the house as they play, and they do their business in the litter box. Cleaning a litter box is a quick, painless procedure. Cats also take care of their own grooming. Bathing a cat is almost never necessary because under ordinary circumstances cats clean themselves. Cats are more particular about personal cleanliness than people are. In addition, cats can be left home alone for a few hours without fear. Unlike some pets, most cats will not destroy the furnishings when left alone. They are content to go about their usual activities until their owners return.
Cats are low maintenance, civilized companions. People who have small living quarters or less time for pet care should appreciate these characteristics of cats. However, many people who have plenty of space and time still opt to have a cat because they love the cat personality. In many ways, cats are the ideal housepet.
