In its newly-released 2018 annual report, Pakistan-based Dandot Cement Co says it has received a firm intention from Calicom Industries (Pvt) Ltd to acquire control and 63,542,787 voting shares (67 per cent of paid up capital) of the company. The new buyer is expected to invest in the modernisation of electrical equipment at its facilities.
The report adds that on 5 November 2018, the firm's majority shareholders have given the intention that they are entering into negotiations for sale of their shareholding, either individually or with other associates and family members. Therefore, it is expected that new buyer will provide further funds to upgrade the company's equipment, particularly to improve the efficiency in terms of power and fuel costs, which have been the major cause of company losses sustained in recent years.
In FY17-18, company capacity utilisation stood at 44 per cent and it sold 216,245t of cement as compared to 266,097t in FY 2017. Officials stated that cement production and sales have decreased with shortfalls mainly attributable to the severe financial crunch. This has resulted in the procurement of poor-quality coal, which has caused frequent shutdowns of the kiln. In addition, annual maintenance during the current year has not met company benchmarks.
Furthermore, high input costs, power shutdowns with voltage fluctuations, the upward coal price trend, frequent repair, maintenance and alternative fuel testing costs have also impacted the company's results.

Forever Blue Lisianthus features showy lilac purple cup-shaped flowers at the ends of the stems from early to late summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its pointy leaves remain green in color throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Forever Blue Lisianthus is an herbaceous annual with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition.
Forever Blue Lisianthus will grow to be about 10 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 8 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 6 inches apart. Although it's not a true annual, this fast-growing plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat.
This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
Forever Blue Lisianthus is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. It is often used as a 'filler' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination, providing a mass of flowers against which the larger thriller plants stand out. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.

MRI transports are one of only a handful couple of mechanical assembly which are made with incredible care and by applying particular aptitudes. They are made for particular patients who are subjected to a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). The MRI patient transport devices are manufactured using nonmagnetic materials as MRIs expend magnetic and radio waves. A large portion of the MRI transport materials are made in view of extraordinary care by keeping the comfort of the patients. The MRI transport market is developing with the steady surge of the healthcare markets spread over the globe. Innovation is a key part in the creation and improvement of the whole medicinal services framework. The quick paced development of the medicinal services based device industry is likewise elating the advancement of the MRI transport market.
The MRI scans are an amazingly valuable technique for identifying an intense illness inside a patient's body. The MRI scan is to a great degree helpful for discovering variations from the norm in the mind or in spinal ropes. A report says that a massive populace of the world is seriously influenced by the cerebrum and other neurological maladies. The numbers are greatly high in nations like the U.S. and the U.K. The MRI transport market is straightforwardly reliant on the development of the neurological issue which is spreading relentlessly in the western half of the globe. The quantities of the Alzheimer patients are duplicating which is again making a back street of chance for the MRI transport market. An ever rising number of adolescents and moderately-aged natives are turning into the prey of cerebrum tumor. The populace influenced with meningioma, dangerous mind tumors are rising vigorously in the U.S., Sweden, France, Australia, Israel and New Zealand, which is further advancing the development of the MRI transport market universally.
Some of the factors driving the global MRI transport market is the growing healthcare industry. In addition to this, the massive investments and innovations in the healthcare industry is anticipated to drive the demand for MRI transport in the near future. The rise in neurological diseases is also expected to boost the growth of global MRI transport market over the forecast period. However, the market is highly fragmented and unorganized. This in turn, is anticipated to be one of the major restraining factor for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The global MRI transport market is segmented on the basis of equipment, end-users and geography. The global MRI transport market is segmented on the basis of equipment as MRI stretchers, MRI wheelchairs, MRI walkers. Based on end-users, the global market is classified as hospitals and diagnostic centers. The global MRI transport market is segmented based on regions as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa. Some of the companies in the value chain of the global MRI transport market are Stryker, Magmedix Inc., Medline Industries, Inc., Biodex, Newmatic Medical, AliMed, Magnetica, Alstom, UNDERWOOD MACHINERY TRANSPORT, INC., and Quick Transport Solutions Inc.

Topic: Reflect on where you were before this semester, and where you stand now afterwards.
Before the semester started, I was in all sorts of stories. I got to watch them unravel or wind up. It’s weird I’ll tell you that. I’m not the same person I was before the semester, but I don’t think that bothers me too much. It’s not that I wasn’t a fan of that girl before, but I like who I am now too. I liked them both, for different reasons.
One gave me hope in ideals bigger than man while the other helped me walk away from chasing something that can’t be captured.
My body feels different, as does my mind. My mind has made some new tracts in my mind, and every now and then I go down those tracts. Its fun to see where they lead. My mind didn’t do a 360 though. I am who I am. I can look in the mirror and see a familiar face. The thing is that it’s a face that has seen the four seasons and has grown past them.
I’m solid. I’m doing pretty good. I’m not turning into brittle, or however that expression goes. I’m not crumbling under stress or withering with the wind. I’m far from decaying. I feel as though I was that plant someone forgot to water, and now that the rain has finally come, I’m turning all sorts of green. So let me grow. Let me do my thing.
My thing isn’t wrong or strange or absurd. It’s just my way of living. I feel as though I’m going to be reaching all new heights in the near future. And I am excited for them. Both hands clasped together you’ll find me there praying. Praying for all sorts of things. Most importantly though, I’m praying for those ideals I realized were beyond anyone’s reach.

Easter is coming up next month, and Yoshi is out to celebrate the holiday early with his latest platforming romp Yoshi's New Island. This Nintendo 3DS game is one Nintendo hopes will tide 3DS platforming fans over until Kirby Triple Deluxe comes out on May 2. Here is our review.
Yoshi has sort of been like the black sheep-- er, dinosaur-- of Nintendo's 2D platformer line. He started out in his solo career with the marvelous Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island on the Super Nintendo. Since then, he's dabbled in Yoshi's Story, a passable platformer for the Nintendo 64, he's been a part of a failed tilting experiment in Yoshi's Topsy Turvy for the Game Boy Advance, and he's tried to regain his SNES fame with Yoshi's Island DS. All of these titles hold no candle to Yoshi's first solo outing. Arzest is attempting to try again, this time with a game that more closely follows the foundation that the original Yoshi's Island laid, like Yoshi would an egg. The end result is Yoshi's New Island for the Nintendo 3DS. It all sounds eggs-citing, but does Yoshi's New Island live up to its SNES pred-egg-scessor?
In a move that totally retcons the original Yoshi's Island, it seems that the house that the stork dropped Baby Mario and Baby Luigi off at was the wrong one. In a frantic attempt to salvage this disaster, the stork swiftly flies into the sky, furiously searching for the right home. However, Kamek comes into the picture, has a tussle with the stork, and escapes with Baby Luigi in his clutches. Meanwhile, Baby Mario falls into a circle of Yoshis who decide to help the soon-to-be hero search and find his once again missing brother.
Baby Mario drops in on a Yoshi gathering.
The "new" in Yoshi's New Island really doesn't refer to changes in the gameplay or structure of the game. It's more to do with the new locale the game presents players. I mean, you're still one of eight differently colored Yoshis, you're still jumping, flutter-jumping to score extra distance, lashing out Yoshi's tongue to eat and create eggs, tossing said eggs at set angles determined by well executed timing, and running through six worlds of eight levels each.
Eggs can also nab collectibles.
The only really new elements that Yoshi's New Island brings to the table are two different eggs types. The Eggdozer is a gigantic egg that can crash through usually indestructible objects and walls, while the Metal Eggdozers allow Yoshi to sink down into watery depths, where normal Yoshis only dream about going. (They can only float on the surface of the water usually.) This opens up some neat puzzles and gives Yoshi a unique feel. However, these two new egg offerings seem too safe of additions to the series, and they come across more like something to add bullet points to the game.
If your only goal in Yoshi's New Island is to rush through the levels and reach the ending of the game, you'll burn through this 3DS installment within 3-4 hours. That is, you'll pretty much find the game over-easy (*cough*). You'll also be missing the important factor that makes Yoshi's New Island and the Yoshi's Island series in general challenging. Each level has three collectibles to nab: twenty red coins, five red flowers, and thirty stars.
This Yoshi has an eggs-quisite arsenal.
The stars are the most necessary to collect. Each time Yoshi is damaged, Baby Mario gets separated from him, slowly rising and falling inside a bubble. A counter slowly ticks down, each representing a star you have collected in the level, up to thirty. If the countdown reaches zero, Baby Mario is grabbed by Kamek's henchmen and you lose a life.
What challenge there is in Yoshi's New Island comes from getting 100% completion on each and every level. This means getting all of the red coins, flowers, and stars. The latter essentially requires you to remain untouched in the whole level. No damage and no deaths, as unlike past Yoshi's Island games, when you restart from a checkpoint you do not have the same tally of stars you died with. Instead, you get dropped down to the standard ten stars.
Yoshi's looking to replace this foe's filling.
Also unlike past Yoshi's Island games, you get a bit of a reprieve with going for 100% complete in each level. In Super Mario World 2 and Yoshi's Island DS, you had to acquire all of the three collectibles in one run. In Yoshi's New Island, you can collect all of one collectible, and then try the stage again, this time aiming to get all of another type of collectible. While this makes the game sound easy-peasy, it's a welcome feature, especially for the unlockable bonus stages, earned by getting 100% completion in all of a given world's levels. These bonus stages have nothing in the way of checkpoints, and they are some of the most difficult levels seen in a Yoshi-related game.
"Poochy Ain't Stupid", but 4-S disagrees.
The new rules of how 100% completion works also helps because there are multiple areas to each level, many of which you are unable to return to once you pass through them. This makes it so if you accidentally or unbeknownst to you forgot to collect a red coin but have all five flowers and all thirty stars, you need not collect the flowers and stars again. Instead, you can just focus on collecting the red coins. With my save file I managed to finally get 100% completion on every level in the game in about twenty hours give or take an hour. Unfortunately, there's no reward for doing so other than personal satisfaction (and to rub it to other players on Miiverse).
not to touch those scalding Chomps.
Like Super Mario World 2, Yoshi's New Island consists of six worlds, each with nine levels apiece-- one of which is unlockable. The level design itself walks a fine line between interesting and pedestrian, sometimes offering clever platform and enemy placement, as well as smart level gimmicks.
One of my biggest issues with the level design, however, is in the way an alarming amount of secrets are hidden. They are oftentimes placed in invisible clouds that only appear if Yoshi or an egg passes through them. When these clouds are burst open by an egg, they can reveal a series of coins, some of which are of the red variety, that a player could easily miss out on. There's also certain platform combinations that secret goodies hide in as well. Leaping from one platform to another reveals a reward. While it doesn't seem random at all, it makes exploring the levels a little arduous and exhausting sometimes as you scour every nook and cranny for invisible bounties.
Yoshi's New Island also contains vehicle segments. However, these are self-contained areas that must be entered through a special door in the levels they appear in. Yoshi can transform into a mine cart, a bobsleigh, a jackhammer, a helicopter, a submarine, and a hot air balloon. Unfortunately, the developers decided to use the gyro sensor of the Nintendo 3DS hardware to shoehorn in very much unneeded tilt controls for all of these transformations. Most work okay, but transformations like the submarine and helicopter are a bit unwieldy. These required me to tilt the 3DS at crazy angles, and I'd still have problems. That said, even if you fail to reach the exit of each vehicle section (you're timed), you get put back at the door that is the entrance to the vehicle segment. You can simply try and try again until you complete it.
transformations Yoshi can shift to.
Each fourth and eighth level of each world features a boss battle at its conclusion. For the fourth level, Kamek is always Yoshi's opponent, using different means to damage him and Kamek using different means to take out Yoshi. The eighth level bosses have more character, using Kamek's tried and true method of enlarging an ordinary enemy to gigantic proportions. Some of these battles are better than others, and some are just boring and bland.
boss won't drive Yoshi batty.
What certainly isn't boring and bland are the visuals. Screens and videos on YouTube really don't do Yoshi's New Island's look any justice. You truly have to see the game on the 3DS or 3DS XL's screen to fully appreciate it. The most incredible part of the art design is the beautiful animated backgrounds. It feels like you're playing inside a children's picture book. The depth portrayed by the stereoscopic 3D effect makes the game pop out look marvelous. Unfortunately, the sound design doesn't come out as well. I hope you like the main theme of Yoshi's New Island, because you're going to hear about 40 remixes of it. Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but that's what it felt like. There's a jazz version, there's a jungle version, there's an electronic version, and there's even a kazoo version that the sound team must have been drunk when they said such a version was acceptable. It's sensationally grating to the ears.
but keep your wits about you!
It's hard to say that it's bad that Yoshi's New Island doesn't do much that could realistic be called new, because we've only had three games like this since 1995. The formula really hasn't yet overstayed its welcome yet. I'm perfectly okay with this 3DS entry staying relatively true to the Super Nintendo original because of this. However, I'd love to see Nintendo take over the reins of this franchise, as its homegrown developers could give Yoshi an unforgettable Yoshi's Island game that the current developer Arzest cannot. Still, if you're looking for a tried, true, and safe addition to the Yoshi's Island name, Yoshi's New Island might not be eggs-traordinary, but it is rather eggs-cellent.
...I'm very sorry for the forced eggs puns.
The Game Boy Advance released thirteen years ago today in Japan. Conveniently enough, Nintendo plans on launching the Virtual Console service for Game Boy Advance games on the Wii U next month. What better opportunity than to discuss some of the games that strike our fancy-- ones we're just dying to (re)play. Once you've seen our choices, feel free to list which GBA games you're most looking forward to seeing put on the Virtual Console.
We begin our list of Game Boy Advance Virtual Console desires with one of Nintendo's most popular franchises, The Legend of Zelda. While the GBA received two Zelda titles, The Minish Cap (the second release) was the only wholly original entry, as the other was a port of the Super Nintendo's A Link to the Past. Offering the ability to shrink down to Minish size to get a glimpse of the world through that race's eyes and teensy perspective. The Minish Cap brought with it a wide variety of areas to explore, clever and crafty dungeons to take on, Kinstones to fuse, and a cast of characters that were both charming and memorable. 3DS Ambassadors already have this game at their fingertips, but it'd be nice for others to get their mitts on this title. Seeing as a loose cartridge version of the game goes for a fairly high price, the more people can play The Minish Cap, the better.
Confirmed for the Japanese GBA Virtual Console launch, Golden Sun is one of our favorite RPGs of all time. Its ability to seamlessly intertwine dungeon exploration with puzzles that need to be solved using magic (or as the game refers to it as Psynergy) made it a blast to journey through Weyard. Finding and collecting Djinn, magical creatures that boosted stats for characters and were used for summoning in battle, was a great pleasure. The combat system required strategy, even on easy fights. If an enemy was defeated and another party member was going to attack it, that member forfeits their turn. Golden Sun remains the best of the series, and we can only hope the game makes it to the North American GBA VC launch.
Not only were these two titles the introduction of the franchise to many gamers, aside from those who already met Roy and Marth in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but Fire Emblem and its sequel are both expensive titles to get one's hands on. The ease of allowing people to enjoy them in a legal manner makes total sense to us. Plus, it'd get even more folks into this phenomenal strategy RPG franchise.
A remake of the now antiquated original Metroid, the Game Boy Advance's Metroid: Zero Mission is our favorite of the two Game Boy Advance Metroid games. Not only did the remake offer more distinguishable areas to explore, more items to upgrade to, a super-helpful map that was sorely missing in the NES original, updated music, and an entirely new endgame section featuring Samus without her armor. There's a lot of classics in the Game Boy Advance's library, and Metroid: Zero Mission is one that stands near the top of the heap.
What better way to gear up for the Nintendo 3DS' Mario Golf: World Tour releasing in May than with the Game Boy Advance entry of the series? Bringing with it highly detailed golf courses, a charming cast of characters, and the return of the RPG-like Career mode all created a fantastical golfing experience that we're sure many would love to return to or experience for the first time.
There are few games on the Game Boy Advance that we can say that we've poured the most hours into. As a sum, the six Mega Man Battle Network entries (not counting titles with two versions) gave us over 300 hours of play time total. Journeying around the world as Lan, Mega Man.EXE's operator, and then jacking into the net to bust viruses large and small in cyberspace, and see Robot Masters from the classic Mega Man series represented with new designs to challenge Mega Man all made for a fun time. The chip-based combat relied heavily on improvisation and working with what you have. The enjoyment of deleting a series of enemies in record time and being given a rare chip for your efforts made combat rewarding. If anything, we'd love to see the original Mega Man Battle Network launched on the Virtual Console, as that game is worth a fair amount of change even in cartridge-only form.
"Sonic hasn't been good since the Genesis." How many times have you seen this argument? Sure, one can ignore Sonic Colors, Generations, and the handheld line of games to fit their argument, but it just makes them look silly. The Sonic Advance trilogy showed impressive design, especially for Dimps, who nowadays isn't exactly known for high quality games. The addition of four playable characters, each with their own special abilities, made the longevity of the games longer without feeling like much in the way of padding. It still feels odd to our 8-year-old selves that Sonic the Hedgehog is on a Nintendo system, and not every game has been great, but the Sonic Advance series is one that truly is.
While Final Fantasy III was released on the original Wii Virtual Console service, its Game Boy Advance counterpart offered much more content, bonuses, and changes/improvements. Such changes and improvements included an all-new translation that followed more closely to the Japanese original, several bugs have been fixed from the SNES original, a duo of new locations were added, plus a bestiary and music player were present. It makes much more sense to release the fully featured version of Final Fantasy VI than simply the SNES original. Of course, Nintendo really doesn't do things that make sense all the time.
Here's a pick of a game that maybe some of you have never heard of. It's Hudson's Ninja Five-O. It was a title that was very similar to something like SEGA's Shinobi series. The challenge was rather steep, but the difficulty was always fair. Ninja Five-O received great reviews, but it had very much lukewarm sales. It would be lovely to see Ninja Five-O get the attention it deserves, and Nintendo's Virtual Console service is just the platform to do that.
F1 Race Stars is a game that excited me when I saw the first screens and gameplay footage of it. I said to myself, "Phil, this game is obviously for you. It's cute, it's charming, the track design looks great, and it reminds you heavily of Mario Kart." I finally was able to try out the game on the Wii U with F1 Race Stars: Powered Up Edition. Disappointment would be an understatement towards my feelings of this game. Here's my review.
F1 Race Stars originally released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in retail form way back at the end of 2012. Fast forward to the present and the game has found its way to the Wii U, albeit in simply a digital format. "Powered Up Edition" might be the Wii U version's subtitle, but there is nothing at all powered up about this version. In fact, it's more like "Powered Down", as online multiplayer has been completely taken away. That's not the worst of F1 Race Stars: Powered Up Edition's problems, however. Like being at the top of a hill, things simply go downhill from here.
Right away when you start F1 Race Stars you will be welcomed by an insanely cute exterior. Real F1 race car drivers appear in cartoon form, and at the start of each race they pop their heads out of their karts like jack-in-the-boxes, point their fingers at one another in succession, wink at each other, and put their racing helmets on in a variety of wacky ways.
The track design is pretty nice, each of the fifteen being based off of a particular country. Of course, stereotypes and generalizations are used liberally to associate obstacles and environments with their given country, but each track has its own distinct flair that distinguishes it from others. China has you driving atop its Great Wall, Italy has you racing through Coliseum-like ruins, and Germany has you speeding through the twists and turns of a castle.
and many are even fun to race on.
F1 Race Stars uses the Formula One license is some neat ways. For instance, like Formula One vehicles, there is no drifting to be found. Instead, you must carefully and skillfully take corners, applying the brake when necessary. It's finding the most adequate racing line that will prove advantageous in races. There's also slipstreaming, a popular element of racing.
The KERS function is used on certain turns where there is a blue and white striped pattern on the track. In these sections, all you need to do is stay in the zone, and alternate between pressing and releasing the accelerator to build up energy in your engine. Once you've exited the KERS area, you receive a boost of some form depending on how many times you pressed and released the accelerator (up to three times max). This is pretty useless, however, as the CPU seldom ever doesn't get the maximum amount of boost. KERS is a nice idea in concept, but it's nowhere near as satisfying as screeching around a corner at full speed.
Speeding through the Italian countryside.
Of course, a cartoony kart racer wouldn't be much fun without items to throw a wrench in a racer's plans to win. F1 Race Stars comes with a wide variety of items, but the majority of these simply are generic forms of what can be found in the Mario Kart series. For instance, the red item serves as a homing missile much like Mario Kart's red shell. Yellow items shoot forward or backward, bouncing off walls until it disappears or hits a player. Blue items create bubbles that rest on the track, temporarily putting anyone who touches them inside a bubble. There are some interesting ideas with the item. Okay, well one. The safety car item unleashes a car that stays in front of the first place racer, keeping their maximum speed lower than normal.
the screen can really mess you over.
Each time you are hit by an item, your race car becomes damaged. Each hit makes you car slower and slower. Thankfully, playing to the idea of the game being set in a colorful and whimsical version of the F1 series, there are usually two pit stops to ride through to instantly fix up your vehicle. Usually these pit stops make the player go out of the way a little bit, and since the tracks are so long, it can be quite a while until you are able to reach these sight for sore eyes spots.
These signs indicate an upcoming pit stop.
Tracks feature plenty of shortcuts to be found. However, the ones that pretty much break the game are the ones requiring a key to unlock a door somewhere on the track. The key is always in a place that is off the beaten path, but the subsequent locked door opens up and reveals a massive shortcut. This would be fine if it weren't for the key easily being picked up by the computer before you even get a chance to be close to it. The CPU will seemingly always get the key and always take the shortcut, easily separating itself from the rest of the pack. Then it's a game of catch-up for the rest of the race, and you'll be lucky if you ever see that computer racer again.
However, what damns F1 Race Stars the most-- any version of the game, mind you, and not just the Wii U port-- is the game's immensely frustrating and severely uneven difficulty. For a game that obviously is meant to appeal to children with its bright colors and cartoon visuals, F1 Race Stars uses its pleasant and welcoming visuals to mask its intense hatred for the player.
What do I mean by this? Well, for one, it really feels like you have little control over whether you cross the finish line in first place or not. You can race with the exact same skill and ability in one race and end up first, while another the same parameters of skill are in place and you get sixth. It truly feels random whether you're going to win or not, and I don't mean in a Mario Kart item way either. Don't be surprised when you're in first place and suddenly two CPU drivers pass you, yet you don't even see them do so. Throw in the "joy" of constantly being bombarded with the mostly stale items F1 Race Stars possesses, and you have an incredibly aggravating kart experience. Playing with friends and family locally (the Wii U version has no online for some stupid reason) sort of alleviates some of the burden, but F1 Race Stars is still a frustrating game all the same.
Up to four players can participate in the Career mode, which offers over 20 combinations of tracks to be raced one after the other, usually in groups of two to four. Since as stated there's only 15 tracks, there's a lot of repetition here, even when the developers throw in unique challenges like trying to keep your fuel gauge elevated by driving through gas tanks. It all adds up to a mode that feels like padding to make the game feel more complete than it actually is.
I really wanted to like F1 Race Stars: Powered Up Edition, but the game ultimately did its best to tick me off and annoy me at every step of the way. When you don't feel like you have any control at all in the fate of winning or losing, you're probably playing a poor kart racer. The AI is cheap, the items are generic as all get out, and several design decisions leave me completely puzzled. F1 Race Stars: Powered Up Edition isn't worth the $30 asking price on the eShop. I would go so far as to say it's not worth it at half price either, unless you have masochistic tendencies, then go at it. If F1 Race Stars: Powered Up Edition was participating in a race, the entire field would lap it. If you absolutely can't wait until Mario Kart 8 to release at the end of May, do yourself a favor and play Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, and if you've already done that, do it again. It'd be a much better choice than this game.
We all have them, boss battles that stay with us long after we've bested them and saved the day. Some argue that boss fights are antiquated, but we find them that when they are done right they can turn a good game into a great one. These are such encounters that have remained in our collective memory ever since we've defeated them. They can be challenging, they can be innovative, or they can just be plain old fun. Join us as we list the five new entries in our continuing Best Boss Battles in Gaming History series of features. After we're done, we'd love to hear your thoughts and recommendations.
Next month, NES Remix 2 will be releasing on the Wii U eShop. With that in mind, why don't we take a look at the original compilation of Nintendo Entertainment System classics with NES Remix? Here's our review.
When you are a games manufacturer that has been around as much as Nintendo, you're bound to have your share of critics. Nintendo is often chastised for relying on nostalgia to sell many of its games. While the Wii U eShop offering NES Remix does little to argue against that, it's a worthy addition to anyone's digital library, and a perfect download for retro gaming enthusiasts.
With NES Remix, Nintendo has provided sixteen NES classics such as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Balloon Fight, Tennis, and Clu Clu Land, for instance. You start off with a select amount of games available to you (six to be exact), and as you progress you unlock new titles. However, these aren't full versions of these NES games.
this is the good kind of poison.
Instead, the developer Indiezero (past works include Retro Game Challenge and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy) and Nintendo have created WarioWare style mini-games that put you in various scenarios based off each game. These scenarios implement some gameplay mechanic within the games for a brief mini-game of sorts.
For instance, in Super Mario Bros. one objective is to hit the block containing a beanstalk, another is to collect a specific amount of coins, or cut the drawbridge to eliminate Bowser. Each challenge puts one of your retro gaming skills through the wringer and then some. Of course, not all of the challenges are winners. There are some duds here and there.
No one ever said you had to ride a fair race.
These quick burst levels last anywhere between 5-60 seconds. Some of which contain multiple parts to them. A fun element of NES Remix is that each mini-game is timed. The better you do, the more stars you earn, the grading system of NES Remix. You can earn up to three stars, and if you're really good you can get a rainbow outline surrounding each star. Stars are the metric by which other NES classics are unlocked. It takes being fast, efficient, careful, and skillful to acquire the greatest of ratings. Times can be shared with friends, so there's an asynchronous level of competition to be had.
Each challenge bestows you with three lives to complete it. Losing all three lives with allow you to retry the challenge at the part of it you failed (pending it has more than one part), but you won't be able to receive the coveted three star rating.
By far the most impressive piece to NES Remix are the remix levels. These levels offer a fresh perspective to the various NES games featured in this collection. One remixed level has you on an Excitebike track, being required to drive in a pitch black arena. Your only source of light comes from your bike's headlights. Then there's a level where you're playing as Luigi who is forced to continually run. Your only option is to hit the jump button at appropriate times to avoid pits, enemies, and other hazards. Remix levels get even more interesting and off-the-wall when you reach the ultimate challenge, the Bonus remix stages. Such challenges from these levels include attempting to score 15,000 points with a disappearing ball in Pinball, doing tasks within the second quest's Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda, and popping every balloon while in slow motion in Balloon Fight.
splash they make in a pool of lava!
In addition to stars, there is another thing to collect from these mini-games. Each time a level is completed, you receive an amount of bits. The first time always yields the most bits. As the gauge goes up through gaining bits, you earn new Miiverse stamps based on 8-bit art from the various NES games each time the gauge fills up to its maximum level. There's already been some very clever Miiverse posts done by various players using these stamps.
Become a virtual philatelist with NES Remix.
You need to have an appreciation for the NES era and retro games in general to fully enjoy NES Remix. Even then, however, some of the games featured in this title just aren't really that much fun and possibly were never fun to begin with. It's great that the games play the same as they did way back when, but dealing with frustrations in Golf and Ice Climber because of how antiquated the controls and/or gameplay are brings NES Remix down in quality a little.
Some games have aged better than others.
If you're worried about how much gaming you can find within the bite-size challenges NES Remix offers, don't be. In order to complete every challenge, unlock every game, and earn every reward there is, NES Remix can take upwards of 20 hours to finish. That's obviously only if you're able to deal with how retro these games truly feel. While there is a lack of traditional multiplayer, it is quite entertaining to pass the controller around between friends, giving each player a turn to beat a given level of NES Remix.
NES Remix may play more to those who are nostalgic for or simply enjoy classic NES gaming, but it's certainly not limited to that demographic. NES Remix slowly introduces gameplay concepts of each of its sixteen titles, meaning Nintendo could essentially be giving a whole new generation an appreciation of these historic titles (okay, Ice Climber is hardly historic). The arcade-like challenges, the time-based scoring, and the unique twists presented by the remixed stages mean that players will be investing some serious time if they wish to do so. While not all games and challenges are as successful as the last, NES Remix delivers a healthy heaping of retro gaming goodness.

Staff was great, room.was clean. Disappointed the heater in the pool was broken. We looked forward to the pool.
Hotel was very quiet, room clean and comfortable.
We were underwhelmed by this place. With all the positive reviews, I was expecting more for the money. It didn't help that they abruptly closed the pool while we were there. I think you could easily find a hotel of this same quality for 60-70% of the price elsewhere.

Fresh off her Golden Globe win for her performance in Tom Hooper's Les Miserables, Anne Hathaway has landed a brand new part. The actress has been cast in a brand new adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.
Similar to the 1999 Gil Junger film 10 Things I Hate About You, the new film will also be set in modern day. According to The Wrap, the script is being written by Abi Morgan, who is best known for scripting 2011's Phyllida Lloyd's The Iron Lady and Steve McQueen's Shame. She most recently adapted Claire Tomalin's book The Invisible Woman for director Ralph Fiennes and the film is currently in post-production.
The article doesn't mention which role in the film Hathaway will play in the comedy, but one can assume she will portray Bianca . The story is about two sisters: Bianca, the younger sister who is the object of every man's affection; and Katherina, the older sister who is completely repellant. Because the younger sister isn't allowed to marry until Katherina does, a scheme is hatched to find a man who can "tame the shrew." The play was also previously adapted as Kiss Me, Kate, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
Hathaway is considered the front runner in this year's Best Supporting Actress category at the Academy Awards, but also had a big blockbuster year in 2012 playing Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. Beyond The Taming of the Shrew she is also set to reprise her role voicing Jewel in the upcoming sequel Rio 2.

The last men standing on Sunday combined for an astounding 11 birdies and three eagles in the final round, Bhullar producing his best golf of the week – a 6-under 66 – to secure a ninth Asian Tour title and first on the European Tour.
His 14-under total proved to be one shot too many for Queenslander Quayle, the 23-year-old’s astonishing 9-under 63 enough for a new course record but not the Sunday silverware.
The par-5 17th has been Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course’s most vulnerable hole this week and it was the scene of the best entertainment late in the day, Quayle and Bhullar draining back-to-back eagles to set up thrilling final round finish.
Quayle snatched the lead at 13-under par – capping off an unconscious stretch of nine gained strokes in 13-holes – with a brilliant three at the par-5.
But Bhullar responded right away, the 30-year-old snatching back the lead he held overnight with a 40-yard chip-in from in front of the green just moments after the Australian hit the clubhouse.
That saw the World Number 163 leapfrog Quayle and regain the lead, a par up the last ensuring a one-stroke victory and a fourth Asian Tour title in three seasons.
“To be honest, I was mentally prepared for that,” Bhullar said of Quayle’s unbelievable final round.
“I knew somebody or another had to go low today. Even Ernie Els, he’s a legend, he was playing really well.
The winning chip was one Bhullar had seen before, the champion telling the media after the round he had a similar shot in Friday’s second round.
“To be honest, I was in pretty much the same situation, same place on day two and the flag was pretty much on the same side of the green,” said Bhullar.
“I had a little bit of an idea that this chip is going to run a lot, but it wasn’t an easy chip.
But a run-in with tournament host and local legend Vijay Singh last night had Bhullar dreaming only of winning on Sunday.
“We just bumped into each other,” said Bhullar.
Bhullar began the day one-shot clear of the field and despite typically blustery conditions, the Indian fired his best score of the week when he needed it most.
And while the wedge at 17 will be credited for helping the Indian to victory, brilliant pars at 10 and 11 were the catalyst for Bhullar’s back nine surge.
With Bhullar, Quayle, Kiwi Ben Campbell (66), Jarryd Felton (69) and a threatening Ernie Els (65) all within two shots of the lead, the Indian saved par from the fringe to kick start his back nine, before holing another bomb on 11 to avoid dropping a shot.
“I think that was a turning point,” said Bhullar.
“That gave me a boost, a lot of confidence. After that, it was just one shot at a time and I was just able to execute. It was a tough day. It was windy, flags were tough, but I played really well.
Four-time major champ Els didn’t waste any time in adding his name to the mix on Sunday morning, the South African holing out with a greenside chip for eagle on the par-5 first, before backing that up with a birdie on three.
Suddenly Els was at 8-under for the week and within one of the lead, but a wayward drive into the breeze at the 5th resulted in bogey and a crippling loss of momentum.
The headline act lived up to his billing with a third-placed finish – his first top 10 anywhere in the world since June, 2016 – alongside Campbell, who led the way all week and made great strides in locking up his Asian Tour card for next season.
“I did almost as much as I could,” said Els.
“I set out to try to shoot 65, which I did, and Anthony just played unbelievable. Jeez, what is it, 29 on the back nine? That’s unbelievable stuff.
West Australian Felton rounded out the top 5, joining Bhullar as the only other player to break par in all four rounds.
Meanwhile, tournament host Vijay Singh saved his best til last, signing for a Sunday 68 to finish in the red numbers for the week.
Singh improved every round on the course he designed, rounds of 76, 72, 71 and 68 leaving the local hero pleased he finally managed to “beat the course”.

Home > Blog > Who is Responsible for a Fallen Tree?
You've been eyeing that tree that has a long, large limb hanging over into your yard. Perhaps it is touching the top of your home or even scraping against your siding. Then a storm comes, the tree limb snaps and it hits your home, causing damage to it. Who is responsible for the damage? What should you do to get that damage repaired properly? Home insurance is there to help. Even better, if you are unsure who is responsible, your agent is likely to help you to make that decision.
In most situations, the first and only step that you need to take is to call your home insurance agent. Most of the time, tree limb damage is covered by your home insurance plan. That means that you are not likely to have to pay out of pocket for the losses. Generally speaking, your home insurance will cover the losses to your home no matter who owns the tree.
However, there are limitations to this. For example, if the tree is not being maintained and is in poor condition, resulting in the tree limb falling and striking your home, the coverage may not be covered at all. Home insurance only covers damage that is sudden and accidental, not damage from poor maintenance and prevention. If this has occurred and it is due to your neighbor's failure to maintain his or her tree, you may need to file a claim with their insurance or, more commonly, through an attorney.
If you have damage to your home, your property coverage is likely to cover it if it stems from an accidental and sudden loss. This generally includes losses such as damage to the roof and siding as well as clean-up of the branch. There are often limits on how much coverage is available (most often this is about $1,000).
Take a look at your home insurance policy to know more about what it covers for you and what types of risks it may not. Most importantly, if your neighbor's tree is a risk to your home, ask them to take care of it to avoid such situations.
Ensure your protection. Call Peachstate Insurance at (877) 997-2478 for more information on Stockbridge GA home insurance.

Fallout Shelter is from the creators of the popular console game Fallout and is available for Windows 10 PC and Xbox One consoles. The free game has plenty of in-app purchase opportunities, and it places you in control of a state-of-the-art, underground vault and its occupants. You begin by maintaining core resource generators and slowly expand the vault's features by adding medical bays, radio rooms, training rooms and more.
Graphics are outstanding in Fallout Shelter, and the gameplay may be the most challenging we have seen in a city-builder-style game. We've already delivered a comprehensive guide to survival for Fallout Shelter, and today we focus on the gaming experience this Windows 10 game offers. It is a fun game, but it does require a level of commitment to have any hope of surviving the dangers of the wasteland.
When you first launch Fallout Shelter, you are guided through the steps needed to create your first underground vault. The game requires permissions to access your Xbox Live account and gameplay can be synchronized between devices. The initial connection to your Xbox Live account and synchronizing gameplay both require a data connection, but otherwise, the game can function disconnected. This makes it a good option for use on your Windows 10 tablet.
At its core, gameplay with Fallout Shelter is not very different than any other city-builder-style game. You begin with a very modest layout that covers the basics for the vault. This includes a generator, water treatment facility, a diner, living quarters and a secure vault door. These rooms represent the core resources needed to maintain your vault, and production levels for the energy, food and water are displayed at the top of the game screen.
Dwellers arrive at your vault, seeking shelter and a place to call home. Dwellers vary in ability and are assigned to the various rooms of your vault to perform tasks. They can also be a moody bunch, but placing them in the right jobs helps keep their spirits up. Happy dwellers also mean a happy, productive community. You can monitor the dweller's happiness by clicking on an individual to pull up detailed information that includes skill levels, equipped gear and happiness. To view a summary of the entire population and related status, just click on the gear located in the top-left corner of the game screen. Additionally, dwellers also emit emoji from time to time for a quick reference on their mood (green smiley faces are good, red smiley faces are bad).
There is a point where new dwellers from the wasteland become few and far between. To help your vault population grow, you can play the role of matchmaker and watch the romantic sparks fly. Children of dwellers give your population numbers a boost the natural way, and eventually these kids grow up and can be assigned to tasks to help with productivity.
As your population grows, the variety of vault rooms increases. You can add medical labs to develop healing vaccines, science labs to develop radiation treatments, a radio room to attract new dwellers, additional storage space and more. There is also the option to expand existing rooms and upgrade their production abilities. There is also an Overseer's Room available that unlocks a quest feature where you send dwellers out to the wasteland to tackle an assortment of missions. The missions range from defeating a local radioactive monster to rescuing neighboring dwellers from raiders. The Overseer's quests are a fun departure from the time management aspects of the game.
Adding new rooms or upgrading existing ones comes at a cost. Fallout Shelter includes an assortment of performance objectives that can earn caps (gaming currency), and when dwellers level up in experience caps are earned. You even have a mysterious dweller decked out in a trench coat that appears randomly. Tap on him before he disappears to earn bonus caps. You then use the caps earned to build and upgrade the vault facilities.
Game controls for building new rooms and accessing various features are in the lower-right corner of the game display. The hammer pulls up the construction choices, while the radio icon expands to reveal access to the game's settings, inventory, objectives, a comprehensive help screen and more.
Along with worrying about having enough food, water or energy there are a few dangers to contend with at the vault. You have attacks by hostile raiders that you must fend off, infestations of post-nuclear life forms, and now and then a room catches on fire. While these dangers deliver a little action to the game, they can also prove fatal for your dwellers. Should a dweller die, they can be revived, but it will cost you a handsome amount of caps. With dwellers not knocking down your vault door to join your community, the expense may be worth it.
While there is plenty to keep you busy within your vault, dwellers can also leave the safety of the vault walls to explore the vast wasteland. You can track their progress as they encounter inhabitants of the wasteland, fight off dangers and discover loot, ranging from toys to weapons and clothing. These items can also be collected from defeated enemies who raid your vault.
Dwellers can be equipped with loot collected in battle or while exploring the wasteland to better their chances at survival. Some loot can be used to craft stronger weapons and gear in workshops that become available for your vault. Items you don't have a need for can be sold for caps to give your bank account a boost.
The gaming experience with Fallout Shelter is rather involving and finding success, measured by the happiness of your dwellers, is challenging. The graphic quality for Fallout Shelter is outstanding and game design is user friendly. All of the features in Fallout Shelter can be a little overwhelming, but it doesn't take long to get used to things. Throughout the game, tips appear to help point you in the right direction and once you become an old pro at Fallout Shelter, you can turn off these tips in the game's settings.
It is best to start out slow and avoid overbuilding your vault too soon. This extends your resources and makes it difficult to maintain happiness and productivity. Should your generator be unable to keep up with demands, rooms lose power and productivity comes to a halt.
While you need to pace your growth within the game, Fallout Shelter is not a game that you can pick up from time to time and play. Giving the game your full attention can be a rollercoaster ride, and downtime can be devastating. When not playing the game, activity is still taking place as Fallout Shelter lays dormant. If you leave the game for a few days with a dweller exploring the wasteland, when you return the dweller will likely be dead and buried. Downtime with Fallout Shelter can also result in a depletion of resources, unprotected raids and other events that can prove fatal for your vault's success.
Fallout Shelter is definitely a Windows 10 game that requires attention every few hours or, in the least, an amount of preparation to handle longer down times. For example, you can make sure you leave the game with ample supplies and all dwellers safely in the vault.
As far as stability and performance are concerned, Fallout Shelter ran smoothly for the most part but I did experience a few crashes during gameplay. It was nothing detrimental, and the instability could easily be due to low resources on my laptop that's not built for gaming. Playing Fallout Shelter from a Surface Pro 4 was smooth but I did experience longer load times. The delays were not painful and, again, this is more a resource issue with the Surface tablet than an issue with the game.
All in all, this free Windows 10 game is an enjoyable way to invest your time. If you aren't a fan of city-builders, Fallout Shelter may change your mind on the genre. Just give it a little time to grow on you, and it may surprise you how addictive this game can be. While I was skeptical of the game at first, Fallout Shelter ended up being an entertaining, challenging and sharp-looking game. I wouldn't mind seeing a Windows 10 Mobile version find its way to the Store to help you manage your Vault while on the go, but giving the game a rest isn't always a bad thing.

Exposing contaminated water to sunlight can naturally clean it up – because UV rays blitz germs – but this distillation process usually takes up to 48 hours to complete. Instead, this new gadget harnesses a broader spectrum of the Sun's rays to speed everything up.
It's the visible part of the solar spectrum, rather than UV rays, that contains most of the Sun's energy – around 50 percent for visible sunlight, compared with 4 percent for UV rays.
But while fresh and clean drinking water is something many of us take for granted, that's not the case for some 650 million people across the world –and that's something that has to change.

This paper speaks of morality in the broadest of terms, but in generalities derived from one of the most fundamental of phenomenological doctrines. It is proposed that a polarization exists which corresponds to the epistemological divide that can be found between idealism and empiricism. Our morality harks back to Platonism, the arrival of which immediately provoked a response which resulted in a competing paradigm, its polar opposite: the embryonic Aristotelian doctrine of what Merleau-Ponty termed "induction ". Interpretations to this day waver between adherence to the material world and the ideal. What is maintained in this paper is that idealism and empiricism are both epistemologically inadequate. Given, however, that our morality is one of moral universals, the reader is asked to reflect on what induction must mean for it, and to consider the shadow that induction, being far from benign, must cast in a society which rests on a belief in moral absolutes.
While acknowledging that this may raise eyebrows, given Nietzsche's reputation, the author contends that Nietzsche (1886, 1887) was the first to break with this duality and to speak from a place which was on neither side of this metaphysical divide. While scholars often ignore that part of Nietzsche's philosophy which is affirmative, focusing instead on his "nihilism", it is argued that the evils which his philosophy is said to foster mostly exist in a style of thought which he explicitly rejects. Although Nietzsche was hostile to modern ideas, perceiving in them a threat to our spiritual health, and hoped to "translate man back into nature" (Nietzsche, 1886/1989, p. 161) - which those sympathetic towards liberal values will take issue with - it cannot but be agreed with Nietzsche that in modernity the moral landscape has changed. Morality has been rationalized in a way that the ancients never knew; mind has been introduced into what primordially was the domain of instinct (Nietzsche, 1888/1990, p. 43). While for Nietzsche himself, however, rationality was more a symptom, the contention of this paper is that it is the source of the change in the moral landscape of modernity.

The Grenfell inferno deeply wounded Black and minority ethnic London. It highlights the tragedy of the commons. The powerful few reap the greatest benefits from the housing system. The well-being of real people in social housing is neglected.
Hence, community-led solutions to remove the enduring inequality in the urban housing and social services are urgent, I wrote almost 50 years ago.
Fast forward to 2018. Tragic Grenfell triggered survivors’ protests, vigils and community action. Now, London’s beleaguered social housing tenants are fighting back. Here are 4 grassroots actions to follow in 2018.
Residents are resisting a 1.5-billion-pound ($1.9-billion), two-decade scheme to flatten the dilapidated Aylesbury Estate in Camberwell. It is one of Britain’s largest social housing projects, and build thousands of new homes in its place.
Latin Londoners say the council should honour its pledge to “cherish the contribution that the Latin American community makes to our borough”. Self-help groups promote participation, engagement and inclusion of migrant and ethnic groups in urban affairs. Protestors say people need secure and safe homes not people-removal gentrification. They want policies that promote genuine resident involvement.
People gathered to protest and deliver a signed petition against the council’s ‘absurd and unjust’ housing policy. They claimed Brent Council is responsible for “continued suffering of communities”. Protestors said the council was forcing families and the homeless into accommodation “unfit for human habitation”.
A new movement of Black Labour Party activists was born at City College in Nottingham, September 2017. The Grassroots Black Left (GBL) – bills itself as the Labour Party’s watchdog. It has raised social housing issues to the top of their must-achieve agenda.
Crucially, “The Grenfell Tower disaster showed us, in the harshest of terms, that Black people who are Muslims, refugees, asylum seekers, poor and among the most marginalised in society, are the victims of the worse discrimination imaginable. We must unite and organise to help them.” said Marc Wadsworth, GBL communications officer and editor of The-Latest.com. citizen’s journal.
Not every protest or battleline drawn will survive the cut and thrust of city politics, but the trend is clear. Communities, campaigners and Black and minority ethnic activists are gearing up for action post-Grenfell. They seek to rise up from tragedy and turmoil to safeguard and increase tenants well-being.
← HAPPY NEW YEAR. “NEW US” Post-Grenfell?

SRM Are you ready for the boot storm?
On the surface VMware’s Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is heaven sent bringing the promise of taking your servers running in production and getting them back up in a DR site in a mostly automated way. SRM does deliver on this promise but as we see all to often, it’s not as easy as it looks and some thoughtful planning is a must. This blog is about some key considerations you should make if, like most people, you have different subnets in use at your DR site and you are using SRM to change the IP address of your severs during failover.
DR sites are commonly using kit that has other primary uses, or is older, re-used ex-production kit. Typically, your DR site is going to offer lower performance. This is key for storage. While most companies are willing to take a performance and productivity hit in DR, recovery time objectives (RTO) are typically something that they aren’t willing to miss – when every hour of downtime costs money, getting those systems back online is critical. When you have low performance available from the storage, managing the load an SRM failover generates is key to having a successful recovery.

Re: RX10, a few questions?
I'm going to disagree on the zoom, 'normal' is dead slow and 'faster' for sure is a little faster.
This is getting a bit confusing, Cliff says the speed is the same but if I understand you right if you shoot video, there are 2 zoomspeeds available WHILE shooting video?
Ok thx, it's good to get accurate info.
On "normal" you have one fixed speed when recording and a clunky fast speed when not recording.
On "fast" you have this clunky fast speed and and the same slow speed that "normal" has DURING recording.
I think the only real speed that anybody can use is the "normal" speed. Of the two speeds, it's the only smooth one.
If you change it into "fast", that speed "clunks" forward and back. It also "vibrates" at it "lurches" forward. It's really pretty ugly looking on video. I doubt anybody would want to use it if they saw it.
Last edited by Cliff Totten; July 26th, 2015 at 04:41 PM.
How much time does it take for the fast zoom to zoom from wide to tele while recording? My rx10 takes 13 seconds to go from 24 to 200mm while recording and it takes around 3 seconds for that same action when it's not recording.
On "pause" zoom in = 3.5 seconds.
Again this "fast" setting is really ugly recorded on video. It's really only used for framing the shot. It's so "clunky" and "sticky" in it's motion.
Not sure if I understand it right, what's the difference between #1 and #2 for the fast setting?
When you change the camera into the "fast" setting. You are now given the "smooth" #1 slow zoom AND this clunky ugly "fast" #2 zoom. The zoom rocker will go from speed 1 and "switch" into speed 2.
Last edited by Cliff Totten; July 27th, 2015 at 06:10 PM.
How does that exactly work in the fast setting, is the speed controll based on how much you pull the zoomlever? Or does the camera start with a slow zoom and switch to a fast zoom? If that is the case, how long does it zoom slow before it switches to fast?
The zoom lever should have two "positions", if it's like most sonys... it's a two stage switch mechanism on all the ones I've dealt with. Sony of course disabled the faster setting in video mode on prior cams - sounds like they basically have re-enabled it for 'crash zoom' if you hit the lever hard? And you'd still be able to gently trigger the "slow" zoom?
It's a great camera. I have been using the RX10 for a while now and really fits in with my current gear and workflow.
Video is great and the stills are great also. Image on the video side gets a bit noisy at ISO 3500 and over but hey… at that price it will do.
In fact my new go to kit is a Sony RX10 and Sony A7s. These fit into a backpack and I'm good to go.
Simon can you provide a link to that little movcam cage? Can you still get to all the controls easily?
The Movcam I have on the Sony A7s and purchased this through B&H.
The RX10 I use as is with no cage.
I forgot to mention that the cage is excellent for the A7s which really helps with hand holding and stability also accessing controls on the A7s is easy, one just needs to position your hands and fingers and your good to go.
Looks good but had a closer look and won't accommodate my battery grip - sigh!
