Instagram

Instagram - this is a very popular photo-medium, which brings together five million photographers of different skill levels.

Key features

Camera

It is full screenshot standard features: flash (three modes: off, auto and on) and switching between cameras (front and main).

Unlike QBRO (link to my stuff) photo module Instagrama strongly deprecated: it uses the standard mode of stabilization of the frame and it does not have the opportunity to share the point of focus and metering.

Filter mode

40 filters of varying quality.
Tilt-shift. This function has become fashionable thanks to the work of Olivo Barbieri. It allows you to transform photos into thumbnails.

In combination with the filters allow you to do some very interesting pictures.

Mode of publication

In this mode, you can label your photo. The name tags are supported by photographs, which allow you to quickly obtain lists of photos, which was used by the tag of your interest.

Also in this mode, you can attach the information about where this picture was taken (geo-location).

Put your picture, not only in instagram, but also:

twitter
facebook
tumblr
foursquare
flickr
email

Once you lay out your photo you will see it in the tape friends.

Friends’ lets you view your photos and those of others in chronological order, comment on and mark your favorite work.

If you have a few friends you will always be able to find them by using scanning your contacts, or search by name. Instagram support scanning: notebook, Twitter and Facebook. Provided that your contacts are added their accounts to these networks.

In my opinion the main value instagramma - a photo community and a huge fotobaza.

Pros:

a huge community of photographers
easy search
use tags
free photo hosting
large number of filters
linear and radial tilt-shift

Cons:

obsolete camera module
filters greatly reduce the quality of photos

Results:

great number of photos you can lift the mood perfectly
opportunity to find like-minded people and maybe even the fans.

Deliveries

Main screen

The fact is that I often use the services of international mail. The biggest headache in this process - it is tracking the status of the parcel. Have to keep in mind a lot of things:

parcel number;
postal service;
archive.

Initially, I used gmail: data stored in a draft letter, the terms order and delivery room of origin. But it was very uncomfortable. Especially when we had to check the status of the administration through a mobile phone.

So when I came across this application, I immediately decided to try it.

Deliveris consists of three windows:

main screen. It contains buttons for navigation to other modes and screens. As well it shows the status of parcels.
Settings screen. Here you can sort your parcels by the date, set up the sync and view support.
screen to add the parcel. Here you can enter the name of the parcel, parcel identification number and name of the postal service. At the moment, based on about 70 companies that provide postal services.

I would like to note that if you have a receipt or barcode, you can take a picture, the program recognizes it and puts the data independently.

Delivery status

What is particularly nice, in the case of some operators (UPS, FeDex, DHL), the program displays the number of days prior to shipment.

In the detailed view you can see information about the parcel delivery services on the site, to see the location of a parcel on the map and send the information to the post.

Pros:

user-friendly interface;
easy interface;
stability.

Cons:

inability to change the color palette;
no notification when changing the status of the parcel;
no sorting by name.

Overall impression:

this is a very handy program for those who use postal services and wants to be informed about the status of their parcels.

Gun bros: Tips and tactics

I will try briefly to voice the main points that allow you to save time and get maximum enjoyment from the game:

Partners:

You need a strong partner. Who will match your level and perhaps even, exceed it.

Using a buddy gives you several advantages:

Even taking into account the fact that teammate shoots in 30% of cases - a 30% increase in firepower.
When released into your partner stop bullets. So you can use your partner as a “human shield”. What is very important when trying to “perfect pass.” Do not worry if your partner killed, he will rise again during the passage of the current wave.

Where to find them: Call your friends. Get to know someone through the forum or write Review for the game.

Example: “Great game. Mass of interest. Looking for a mate. My profile on facebook: Michael Kitton. Add me so you can use my hero as a buddy”.

Acquisition game currency:

The game provides the opportunity for free to get a huge amount of game currency:

Installation of applications, which are shown in the banner. You just need to install the application and play it for 10 minutes. For this you can get from 5 to 10 game coins.
For connecting your accounts on Twitter and FaceBook you get extra coins.Careful! Game wrote messages on your behalf and you run the risk of losing not interested in these messages to your friends.

Why you need this currency:

This currency can be used for purchasing armor, weapons and special equipment, but I recommend not sprayed, and purchase a set of very cool armor:

Firstly, it will give you a serious increase in power, protection and speed of movement.
Secondly, will you no longer have to spend gambling money on armor and let the entire then to purchase a steep weapons.

Purchase of weapons:

Each weapon has two main parameters: damage and speed of dealing damage in a minute. In order to understand the power you need to multiply these two parameters.That will give you a number. This number will allow you to understand the difference between gun “A” of the gun “B”. In my opinion, the ideal weapon destruction are automatic. They shoot the queue, their movement is predictable and does not give a penalty to movement. Plus, the last gun that you can buy for the money gives the self-guided warheads.

Earning money:

Earn 80,000 - is a long process that can significantly reduce (up to one and a half hours). How?

Use all the advice that I gave you before (get maximum cool armor, please be a partner and buy a decent gun).
Try to make “perfect passage” (passage level without damage). For this you get 10% of earnings for the level of money. Accordingly, for the passage of the 30 levels in a row with a perfect amount of your status will increase even more.

Thus, a little practice, you will be able to play for the same time get a lot more money. What to do with them?

Do not rush to get them instantly. In the game there are cameras on processing eksplodiuma into money. These cameras are eight types. Initially, you can use only the first camera. Each type of processes is much longer than the previous one, but as a result you get much more money. So do not rush to bail out the money immediately. More profitable to let it into a three-day processing. The money you get so much later, but it will save you the time you can spend on the extra pass and put them in the processing chamber with a smaller bonus.

Thus the three rounds of passage (taking into account that you earn every time eksplodiuma 10k) instead of 30k you can earn 65k (30k in the last row + 20k and 15k in the penultimate in the penultimate). Agree that it’s much more profitable.

Growth in the level:

Each level gives you access to new models of weapons and gives you more lives. Therefore, strive to earn as much experience. It is easiest to do in the special days marked with a status of “200%”. These days you get twice the experience than usual. Provided that the passage of each level of this factor increases (5% in normal / 10% in the unusual day), through 20 levels you can get 4 times more experience than usual. Thus, an average of 20 levels, you can earn 2.3 level.

Special conditions:

Do not forget to buy special equipment (first aid kits, armor or napalm). They are not so expensive, but at the same time provide an opportunity to go much further than usual, and, therefore, increase the multiplier and earn more money.

Do not pass the same levels many times. At each iteration, the number of enemies increases, so for the same time in the later iterations, you get 3-4 times more experience and money than the previous.

I wish you success!
