0 MotoGP Calendar 2010

Berita bagi para pecinta MotoGp, kalender MotoGP musim 2010 sudah dikeluarkan oleh FIM. Tak seperti musim sekarang, untuk kompetisi tahun mendatang, para pebalap akan bertarung selama 18 seri karena ada tambahan satu seri di Hungaria.

Sebenarnya, GP Hungaria yang akan berlangsung di Sirkuit Balatonring dijadwalkan sudah mulai berlangsung pada musim ini. Namun, rencana tersebut tertunda karena ada pengembangan.

Sementara itu, GP Inggris akan berlangsung di Silverstone. Sirkuit tersebut menggantikan Donington Park yang terakhir kali mementaskan MotoGP pada 26 Juli lalu.

Musim baru tersebut kembali akan diawali dengan balapan malam hari di Qatar, pada 11 April, dan berakhir di Valencia pada 7 November.

Yang menarik, Sirkuit Motorland Aragon di Spanyol utara masuk dalam daftar cadangan. Ini untuk mengantisipasi kemungkinan terburuk, apabila satu dari 18 sirkuit dalam jadwal tersebut batal mementaskan balapan "kuda besi" yang paling bergengsi di dunia ini.

Revisi Jadwal

GP Republik Ceko telah mengalami perubahan waktu penyelenggaraan dari jadwal sebelumnya, karena jadwalnya dimajukan satu pekan.

Artinya, perubahan jadwal GP Republik Ceko ini mengalami perubahan yang kedua hanya dalam waktu satu minggu. Sebenarnya, balapan di Brno direncanakan berlangsung 22 Agustus. Tapi dengan revisi ini, maka jadwalnya dimajukan sepekan menjadi 15 Agustus.

0 Jenson Button : 2009 world champion!

Jenson Button has joined the elite group of race drivers to have won the world championship. His fifth position in Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix was enough to clinch the title from Sebastian Vettel and Rubens Barrichello.

Button is the tenth British champion following in the footsteps of Mike Hawthorn, Graham Hill, Jim Clark, John Surtees, Jackie Stewart, James Hunt, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill and the out-going champion Lewis Hamilton.

His string of six wins from the first seven races equalled a record set by Clark and Michael Schumacher and formed the foundation of his championship campaign. While his final win of the season came at Istanbul in June - pending the last round of the season in Abu Dhabi - since then he was able to score points on a regular basis much to the frustration of his rivals.

Button has had his fair share of critics for his performance in the second half of the championship, but had he started the season with points paying finishes and ended the season with a string of victories, his success would have, arguably, been seen in a differing light.

He may not have the flair of some of his rivals and may not put the car right on the limit week in week out, but his Brazilian race was a very good performance and with more points than his rivals, he has achieved his career objective of championship success following many years of loyalty to Honda and its new successor, Brawn GP.

In view of his team having taken the constructors' crown as well, Button's title caps what has been a fairytale success story for the Brawn team, an outfit which came close to shutting its doors mere weeks before the 2009 championship began. The BGP 001 completed its first on-track testing only a month before the season's first race

Biography

Jenson Button’s breakthrough Formula One win finally came with Honda at the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix. For the man himself it was vindication of his controversial decision to buy himself out of his contract with Williams - the team that gave him his race debut back in 2000. For his fans and admirers it was merely proof of what they knew all along - that the Englishman just needed the right equipment to get the job done!

Before his Formula One dry spell, winning had been something of a habit for Button. As an eight year-old he had triumphed in his first karting race, despite starting from the back of the grid in wet conditions. Crowned the British Cadet kart champion aged 10, he took the same series with even greater ease the following year after winning all 34 races.

Quickly outgrowing his home competition, a string of international karting titles followed. Button became the youngest winner of the European Super A championship and the youngest runner-up in the Formula A world championship. He completed his karting career with victory in the 1997 Ayrton Senna Memorial Cup at Suzuka, before making the inevitable move to single-seaters.

In 1998 he won the highly competitive British Formula Ford championship at his first attempt with nine wins for Haywood Racing. He also took victory in the Formula Ford Festival, finished second in the European championship and landed the prestigious McLaren/Autosport Young Driver of the Year Award. So rapid was his career progress that Button already seemed like a big fish in a small pond and he promptly moved up to British Formula Three for 1999.

Claiming three victories, seven podiums and third overall in his debut season, Button fully deserved his ‘Rookie of the Year’ honour and it wasn’t long before his successes were rewarded with a Formula One test. First for McLaren and then for Prost, Button wowed with his pace and ability, before Williams offered him a race drive for 2000.

Williams’ decision to sign Button - at 20, Britain’s youngest ever Grand Prix driver - resulted in unparalleled hype and expectation, but the scrutiny didn’t affect their new star’s performance. Indeed, a point in his second race, third on the grid at Spa and eighth in the championship meant the young Briton’s reputation as a smooth and unflappable driver remained firmly intact, even if he did score less than half the points of team mate Ralf Schumacher.

In spite of his apparent success, Button was farmed out by Williams to Benetton for the next two years. The time proved largely frustrating. His 2001 performances were hampered by a difficult car, while in 2002 he struggled to match team mate Jarno Trulli in qualifying and was left disappointed by a run of bad luck in races. He was replaced by Fernando Alonso for 2003, but would show his mettle once more following a move to BAR.

Button’s mature performances that year helped see the future Honda squad through a difficult season and he overshadowed veteran team mate Jacques Villeneuve in the process. The next year Villeneuve was replaced by Takuma Sato and, as such, Button became the team’s number-one. With the Honda-BAR partnership at last finding its feet, the British driver scored 10 podiums and finished an impressive third in the drivers’ championship, despite not winning a single race. The only sour note was the long-running dispute over who had the future rights to Button’s services. Williams was ultimately the answer, though their protege would eventually remain with BAR/Honda, after successfully negotiating a release from his contract.

Over recent seasons, many have questioned whether Button made the right decision. After their runners-up position in 2004, BAR fell to sixth in the constructors’ championship the following year, and although a Honda takeover in 2006 helped bring Button that deserved and emotional first win at the Hungaroring, the team’s form subsequently declined, culminating in Honda’s withdrawal from Formula One at the end of 2008.

The left Button’s career in limbo for a few months, before a management buyout of the former Honda team put him back on the grid for 2009. Brawn GP proved to be a revelation, with Button winning six of the first seven races en route to finally securing his first drivers' title with one round of the season to spare.

0 Batik: Dari Indonesia untuk Dunia

Akhirnya dunia mengakui batik merupakan salah satu warisan umat manusia yang dihasilkan oleh bangsa Indonesia. Pengakuan serta penghargaan itu akan disampaikan secara resmi oleh United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Culture Organization (UNESCO).

Pengakuan UNESCO itu diberikan terutama karena penilaian terhadap keragaman motif batik yang penuh makna filosofi mendalam. Di samping itu pemerintah dan rakyat Indonesia juga dinilai telah melakukan berbagai langkah nyata untuk lindungi dan melestarikan warisan budaya itu secara turun menurun.

Atas perkembangan ini Presiden SBY menyambut baik kabar tersebut. Sebagai bentuk apresiasi baik terhadap batik dan penghargaan UNESCO itu, Presiden SBY meminta seluruh warga negara mengenakan batik pada 2 Oktober 2009.

Batik memang tidak hanya dihasilkan oleh Indonesia. Malaysia, Singapura, dan India merupakan negara yang masyarakatnya mengenal dan menghasilkan batik. Tapi UNESCO mengakui bahwa Batik Indonesia mempunyai teknik dan simbol budaya yang menjadi identitas rakyat Indonesia mulai dari lahir sampai meninggal. hal itu terlihat dari bayi yang digendong dengan kain batik bercorak simbol yang membawa keberuntungan, dan yang meninggal ditutup dengan kain batik. Selain itu, pakaian dengan corak sehari-hari juga dipakai secara rutin dalam kegiatan bisnis dan akademis. Sementara berbagai corak lainnya dipakai dalam upacara pernikahan, kehamilan, juga dalam wayang, kebutuhan non-sandang dan berbagai penampilan kesenian. Kain batik bahkan memainkan peran utama dalam ritual tertentu.

Berbagai corak Batik Indonesia menandakan adanya berbagai pengaruh dari luar mulai dari kaligrafi Arab, burung phoenix dari Cina, bunga ceri dari Jepang sampai burung merak dari India atau Persia. Tradisi membatik Indonesia juga diturunkan dari generasi ke generasi. Ini memperlihatkan batik terkait dengan identitas budaya rakyat indonesia. Berbagai arti simbolik dari warna dan corak mengekspresikan kreatifitas dan spiritual rakyat Indonesia.

UNESCO memasukkan Batik Indonesia ke dalam Daftar Representatif karena telah memenuhi kriteria, antara lain kaya dengan simbol-simbol dan filosofi kehidupan rakyat Indonesia, serta memberi kontribusi bagi terpeliharanya warisan budaya tak-benda pada saat ini dan di masa mendatang. Dalam menyiapkan nominasi, para pihak terkait telah melakukan berbagai aktivitas, termasuk melakukan penelitian di lapangan, pengkajian, seminar, dan sebagainya untuk mendiskusikan isi dokumen dan memperkaya informasi secara bebas dan terbuka.

Depbudpar menyatakan bahwa perjuangan supaya Batik Indonesia diakui UNESCO ini melibatkan banyak pihak, baik pemerintah, para pengrajin, pakar, asosiasi pengusaha dan yayasan atau lembaga batik, serta masyarakat luas. Perwakilan RI di negara anggota Tim Juri yaitu di Persatuan Emirat Arab, Turki, Estonia, Meksiko, Kenya dan Korea Selatan serta UNESCO-Paris turut memegang peranan penting dalam memperkenalkan batik secara lebih luas kepada para anggota Tim Juri, sehingga mereka lebih seksama mempelajari dokumen nominasi Batik Indonesia.

Sebelumnya, Pemerintah Indonesia telah memasukkan Batik Indonesia ke dalam Daftar Inventaris Mata Budaya Indonesia. Pada 2003 dan 2005 UNESCO telah mengakui Wayang dan Keris sebagai Karya Agung Budaya Lisan dan Tak-benda Warisan Manusia (Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity). Pemerintah terus memperjuangkan pengakuan atas karya budaya lain bangsa Indonesia. Sekarang ini yang tengah diperjuangkan adalah musik kulintang, naskah Negara Kertagama versi Majapahit dan epos La Galigo asal Bugis.

Misalnya clixsense memberi U$0.01-$5 untuk setiap iklan yang diklik.

Tips Memilih PTC

Pada saat ini hampir ribuan situs PTC yang menawarkan dolar tapi tidak sedikit pula yang tidak melakukan pembayaran atau biasa disebut PTC SCAM. Berikut beberapa tips yang dapat dijadikan pertimbangan agar sobat tak menyesal kmudian karena tidak mendapatkan pembayaran.

Hindari PTC dengan host dan domain gratis

Penjelasan : banyak situs bermunculan dengan hosting gratis seperti webmania, 000webhost, serta domain gratis seperti .co.cc , .tk, .co.nr, dsb. Semua situs dengan ciri-ciri seperti ini wajib anda hindari.
Alasan : jika yang punya situs tidak mampu mengeluarkan beberapa dollar untuk beli hosting dan beli domain, bagaimana mampu dia membayar membernya dalam waktu yang lama?

Hindari situs dengan desain yang seadanya

Penjelasan : Setiap script mempunyai desain default(dasar) seperti Yourownbux dengan dasar putih, dan adbux dengan dasar ke-abu-abuan. Begitu juga dengan script yang lainnya, masing masing punya ciri khas tersendiri.
Alasan : Jika sang admin malas untuk membuat situsnya menarik atau dia tidak punya uang untuk menyewa programmer/desainer, ada kemungkinan dia juga malas atau tidak mampu membayar membernya.

No forum? No Support? >>> Tidak dapat dipercaya

Penjelasan : Sebuah PTC tanpa forum, lalu bagaimana kita berkomunikasi dengan admin?
Alasan : ini merupakan salah satu bukti bahwa admin enggan untuk berkomunikasi dengan membernya,lalu bagaimana keluhan kita akan ditanggapi? dengan mudah dia akan melarikan diri.

Bug ditemukan? Tidak ada perbaikan? >>> No Payment

Penjelasan : setiap script pasti punya lubang/bug bawaan, terutama yang berhubungan dengan referral, anti cheat, dsb.
Alasan : jika sang admin tidak mampu memperbaiki error/bug atau tidak mampu menyewa programmer untuk memperbaiki script, bagaimana dia mampu membayar kita sebagai membernya? Member yang cheat tidak akan ketahuan dan admin tidak mau ambil pusing. Dia hanya mau mendapatkan keuntungan dari jualan referral dan membership. Setelah itu kabur deh!!!

Default TOS/FAQ/Privacy Policy, Default Payments >>> No Payments Tongue

Penjelasan : sebelum bergabung dengan sebuah situs, sebaiknya bacalah dulu baik-baik TOS/FAQ/Privacy Policy nya. Admin yang scam biasanya malas mengeditnya. Segeralah lari dari PTC seperti ini.
Alasan: Jika sang admin untuk mengedit saja malas, bagaimana dia tidak malas untuk membayar kita?

Clik Rate terlalu tinggi ?? >>> Tidak bertahan lama

Penjelasan :Saat ini click rate yang masuk akal adalah maksimal $0,01/click 0,005/ref click
Alasan:dengan click rate yang terlalu tinggi, di atas harga diatas, maka ada kemungkinan situs tersebut tidak akan bertahan lama karena dia akan keluar terlalu banyak tanpa mendapatkan pemasukan dari pengiklan

Instant Payment

Instant payout merupakan cara pembayaran yang dapat dilakukan secara langsung misalnya menggunakan Paypal ataupun AlertPay. Dengan memilih PTC yang menggunakan sistem pembayaran semacam ini akan menghemat waktu yang kita keluarkan.

Tips Menjalankan PTC

Pada dasarnya Bisnis PTC adalah bisnis yang butuh kesabaran, layaknya orang berbisnis, PTC termasuk bisnis yang melatih kesabaran karena rata -rata jika kita telah mengambil keputusan untuk berbisnis secara online di PTC maka akan dimulai dari nol dan perkelik sangat kecil apalagi jika kita berawal dari nol tentu kita belum punya refferal karena gak mungkin anda atau saya atau siapapunjuga nekat melakukan Upgrade kalo belum buktikan pembuktian memang butuh waktu karena kita kerja dengan penghasilan kecil tapi jika kita telah buktikan dan melakukan upgrade atau sudah memiliki refferal maka kepuasan atas kerja akan kitarasakan, jadi jangan pernah putus asah. Bisnis PTC jika kita tekuni akan membawa keuntungan diluar dugaan kita.

Ingat sob,,semuanya butuh proses dan kesabaran. PTC bukanlah bisnis yang dapat memberikan kita kemerdekaan finansial secara instan, tapi butuh proses yang berkelnjutan.

0 Refrigeration System Based On Magnetics

Your refrigerator’s humming, electricity-guzzling cooling system could soon be a lot smaller, quieter and more economical thanks to an exotic metal alloy discovered by an international collaboration working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)’s Center for Neutron Research (NCNR).

A magnetocaloric material heats up when magnetized (b); if cooled and then demagnetized (c), its temperature drops dramatically (d). NIST scientists may have found a way to use magnetocalorics in your fridge. (Credit: Talbott, NIST)

The alloy may prove to be a long-sought material that will permit magnetic cooling instead of the gas-compression systems used for home refrigeration and air conditioning. The magnetic cooling technique, though used for decades in science and industry, has yet to find application in the home because of technical and environmental hurdles—but the NIST collaboration may have overcome them.

Magnetic cooling relies on materials called magnetocalorics, which heat up when exposed to a powerful magnetic field. After they cool off by radiating this heat away, the magnetic field is removed, and their temperature drops again, this time dramatically. The effect can be used in a classic refrigeration cycle, and scientists have attained temperatures of nearly absolute zero this way. Two factors have kept magnetic cooling out of the consumer market: most magnetocalorics that function at close to room temperature require both the prohibitively expensive rare metal gadolinium and arsenic, a deadly toxin.

But conventional gas-compression refrigerators have their own drawbacks. They commonly use hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), greenhouse gases that can contribute to climate change if they escape into the atmosphere. In addition, it is becoming increasingly difficult to improve traditional refrigeration. “The efficiency of the gas cycle has pretty much maxed out,” said Jeff Lynn of NCNR. “The idea is to replace that cycle with something else.”

The alloy the team has found—a mixture of manganese, iron, phosphorus and germanium—is not merely the first near-room-temperature magnetocaloric to contain neither gadolinium nor arsenic—rendering it both safer and cheaper—but also it has such strong magnetocaloric properties that a system based on it could rival gas compression in efficiency.

Working alongside (and inspired by) visiting scientists from the Beijing University of Technology, the team used NIST’s neutron diffraction equipment to analyze the novel alloy. They found that when exposed to a magnetic field, the newfound material’s crystal structure completely changes, which explains its exceptional performance.

“Understanding how to fine-tune this change in crystal structure may allow us to get our alloy’s efficiency even higher,” says NIST crystallographer Qing Huang. “We are still playing with the composition, and if we can get it to magnetize uniformly, we may be able to further improve the efficiency.”

Members of the collaboration include scientists from NIST, Beijing University of Technology, Princeton University and McGill University. Funding for the project was provided by NIST.

0 Efek Negatif Merokok

Akibat negatif dari rokok, sesungguhnya sudah mulai terasa pada waktu orang baru mulai menghisap rokok. Dalam asap rokok yang membara karena diisap, tembakau terbakar kurang sempurna sehingga menghasilkan CO (karbon mono oksida), yang disamping asapnya sendiri, tar dan nikotine (yang terjadi juga dari pembakaran tembakau tersebut) dihirup masuk ke dalam jalan napas.

CO, Tar, dan Nikotin tersebut berpengaruh terhadap syaraf yang menyebabkan :

- Gelisah, tangan gemetar (tremor)

- Cita rasa / selera makan berkurang

- Ibu-ibu hamil yang suka merokok dapat kemungkinan keguguran kandungannya

Tar dan Asap Rokok

Tar dan asap rokok merangsang jalan napas, dan tar tersebut tertimbun disaluran itu yang menyebabkan :

- Batuk-batuk atau sesak napas

- Tar yang menempel di jalan napas dapat menyebabkan kanker jalan napas,

lidah atau bibir

Gas CO (Karbon Mono Oksida)

Gas CO juga berpengaruh negatif terhadap jalan napas dari pembuluh darah. Karbon mono oksida lebih mudah terikat pada hemoglobin daripada oksigen. Oleh sebab itu, darah orang yang kemasukan CO banyak, akan berkurang daya angkutnya bagi oksigen dan orang dapat meninggal dunia karena keracunan karbon mono oksida. Pada seorang perokok tidak akan sampai terjadi keracunan CO, namun pengaruh CO yang dihirup oleh perokok dengan sedikit demi sedikit, dengan lambat namun pasti akan berpengaruh negatif pada jalan napas dan pada pembuluh darah.

Nikotin

Nikotin merangsang bangkitnya adrenalin hormon dari anak ginjal yang menyebabkan :

- Jantung berdebar-debar

- Meningkatkan tekanan darah serta kadar kolesterol dalam darah, berhubungan erat terjadinya serangan jantung

Kerja Nikotin

Saat merokok, nikotin mulai diserap aliran darah dan diteruskan ke otak. Nikotin terikat di reseptor nikotinat antikolinergik 42 di ventral tegmental area (VTA). Nikotin yang terikat di reseptor 42 akan melepaskan dopamin di nucleus accumbens (nAcc). Dopamin itulah yang diyakini menimbulkan perasaan tengan dan nyaman. Tak heran bila perokok akan kembali merokok untuk memperoleh efek nyaman itu.

Bila perokok mulai mengurangi atau berhenti merokok maka asupan nikotin berkurang dan pelepasan dopamin juga berkurang, akibatnya timbul gejala putus obat berupa iritabilitas dan stress.

Hal itu menyebabkan jalan untuk berhenti merokok menjadi sulit karena rasa ketagihan terhadap nikotin. Peran verenicline berfungsi sebagai pemutus rantai adiksi. Biasanya nikotin berikatan dengan reseptor 42, namun nanti yang akan berkaitan dengan reseptor 42 adalah verenicline yang bekerja dengan dua cara. Pertama, verenicline menstimulasi reseptor untuk melepaskan dopami secara pasrial, tujuanya untuk mengurangi gejala putus obat berupa pusing, sulit berkosentrasi atau badmood yang ditimbulkan dari proses berhenti merokok.

Kedua, verenicline menghalangi nikotin yang menempel di reseptor. Jadi bila merokok kembali, nikotin tidak dapat menempel di reseptor, sehingga mengurangi rasa nikmat dari rokok tersebut. =Verenicline dapat diberikan pada perokok dewasa atau minimal usia 18 tahun yang ingin berhenti merokok. Verenicline dapat diberikan pada perokok berat maupun ringan. Dosis awal yang diberikan ringan yang ditingkatkan secara perlahan-lahan. Untuk mencapai kesembuhan berhenti merokok, dibutuhkan waktu selama tiga bulan, baik bagi perokok berat atau ringan.

Efek samping verenicline adalah mual, nyeri kepala, insomnia dan mimpi abnormal. Meski demikian, manfaat yang ditimbulkan dari berhenti merokok jauh lebih besar karena dalam sebatang rokok terkandung lebih dari 4 ribu bahan kimia dan 250 zat karsinogenik.

Bahkan bahan kimia yang ditemukan pada asap tembakau (rokok) seperti aseton, butan, arsenic, cadmium, karbon monoksida dan toluene sama seperti yang ditemukan pada bahan industri. Jadi dapat dibayangkan bukan dampak buruk rokok? (Dikutp dari berbagai sumber)

0 POINT BLANK : forget "the old" one, time to play PB!!

Bagi gamers yang belum mengenal tentang game yang satu ini, Point Blank merupakan game online FPS (First Person Shooter) terbaru sekaligus yang pertama di Indonesia. Apabila gamers Indonesia sudah pernah memainkan game-game FPS seperti Counter Strike,Battlefield 2, ataupun Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, perlu diketahui bahwa game-game tersebut pada awalnya merupakan game-game yang berbasis offline, namun mengalami pengembangan ke arah online. Berbeda dari game-game tersebut, Point Blank ini merupakan game yang mutlak merupakan sebuah game online. Jadi, mungkin gamers bisa bayangkan game ini seperti game-game FPS tersebut, namun dengan fitur-fitur khas yang marak di game online pada umumnya. Seperti halnya yang ada di game-game FPS tersebut, peperangan antar dua kubu merupakan suatu tema yang dihadirkan kembali pada game ini. Disini gamers bisa menemukan CT-Force dan Free Rebels sebagai kedua kubu yang bertentangan.

Fiture

Gambaran umum pola permainan game ini mirip dengan Counter Strike yang juga memiliki 2 kubu yaitu CT Force (Counter Terorist) dan Free Rebels (Terorist). Berbagai mode permainan dapat gamers temukan di game ini. Ada Team Deathmatch dan Explosion Mission sebagai mode permainan yang mungkin pernah gamers temukan di game-game sejenis, namun Point Blank juga menyertakan suatu mode permainan yang hanya bisa ditemukan di game ini, yaitu Destruction Mission dimana masing-masing kubu harus bertempur dengan tujuan menghancurkan masing-masing obyek yang dituju untuk mendapatkan poin. 

Berbagai variasi persenjataan dan map juga akan gamers temukan di game ini, dengan update yang akan terus bertambah seiring dengan pengimplementasian patch baru untuk game ini pada waktu yang mendatang. Seperti game-game online pada umumnya, fitur clan turut membuat game ini menjadi semakin menarik.

Uniknya game ini memiliki senjata yang bisa di-upgrade dan dimodifikasi sedemikian rupa. Selain itu tersedia juga aksesoris tambahan senjata yang bisa digunakan untuk memudahkan pertempuran. Semua item tersebut akan tersedia dan bisa dibeli di fitur item mall game.

Game terbaru dari Kreon ini juga mengusung konsep Avatar, dimana pemain dapat memodifikasi karakternya sesuai dengan keinginan mereka, seperti layaknya game Gunbound, Pangya, Ayodance, Idol Street dan GetAmped.

Grafik

Grafik dari Point Blank tentunya akan jauh lebih bagus dan realistik dibandingkan dengan game Counter Strike yang sudah cukup uzur karena sudah berumur lebih dari 8 tahun. Grafik game ini bahkan sedikit lebih baik dari Counter Strike Condition Zero & Counter Strike Source.

Grafik game Point Blank hampir setara dengan Counter Strike Online yang dikembangkan oleh Nexon dibawah pengawasan Valve untuk pangsa pasar Asia. Point Blank sendiri dikembangkan oleh NCSoft yang sudah terkenal dengan perusahaan penghasil game berkualitas dengan grafik spetakuler seperti Lineage 2, jadinya grafik game ini juga tidak akan mengecewakan.

Kualitas grafis dari Point Blank disajikan dengan menggunakan I-Cube Engine, yang telah terbukti kualitasnya dalam menghasilkan obyek dan efek yang realistis. Seperti halnya game-game pada saat ini yang memungkinkan fitur destructible objects, Point Blank turut mengimplementasikan fitur tersebut di dalamnya. Perlu diketahui pula bahwa I-Cube Engine ini turut memaksimalkan kualitas grafis visual yang ada, baik pada spesifikasi rendah ataupun tinggi.

Kemungkinan Point Blank akan bisa sukses sangat terbuka karena mengusung tema yang belum ada saat ini, apa lagi dengan banyaknya penggemar fanatik CS yang kemungkinan akan berpindah hati mengingat kemiripan jenis permainan dan juga pastinya harus dikelola dengan baik agar selalu menjadi game yang diminati. So forget "the old" one, lets play Point Blank!!

0 FOOTBALL MANAGER™ 2010 RELEASE FOR OCTOBER 30th

LONDON (August 12th, 2009) – Sports Interactive & SEGA Europe Ltd. can today announce that Football Manager™ 2010 for PC and Apple Macintosh, and Football Manager™ Handheld 2010 for Sony PSP will be released on October 30th. 

Football Manager 2009 is the most successful in the Football Manager series to date, clocking up 22 weeks at No.1 in the UK (PC charts) and selling in excess of 1 million copies worldwide, as well as being voted the 2nd best video game of all time in a recent Radio 1 poll. According to data gathered from Football Manager 2009, people played the game for an average of 240 hours each. However, developer Sports Interactive has been made aware via the vibrant Football Manager community that the addition of big new features in the last few releases has come at the expense of attention to existing areas of the game and solving long standing issues.

With this in mind, Sports Interactive has spent the last year working closely with consumers and the Football Manager community to implement key improvements to this year’s game. Football Manager 2010 features new tools and changes across the board including some big additions to improve ease of use, navigation and feedback from the game with the introduction of a brand new match tactics system, the debut of a Match Analysis tool, a completely new look and new User Interface among other features. 

“We have worked very hard with the Football Manager community to target not only the areas of the game that needed re-working but also what we could add to improve what’s already there. We’ve also conducted extensive usability studies which has led us to overhaul the whole presentation of the game, which we’re really excited about,” said Miles Jacobson, Studio Director at Sports Interactive. “There has been a lot of polish to existing areas of the game but it’s also driven us to introduce changes to answer some of the feedback. We’re very confident that having done that we will deliver the very best Football Manager to date in October.” 

The introduction of a Tactics Creator makes it easier to instruct the team to play the way the manager wants, alongside the introduction of touchline ‘shouts’ and quick tactic changes for instantly altering your team’s playing style during the match. Working with coaches from various levels of football, alongside some of the Football Manager communities most respected independent tacticians, the game now has an extensive array of pre-set tactical options allowing the user to select a player’s role in the team (such as ‘Ball winning midfielder’ or ‘Deep lying playmaker’), however the option to use the old ‘slider’ controls remains. 

Feedback from matches has been improved to give the user better insight into where their team is going wrong, or right. A new Match Analysis tool lets players see where shots, passes, crosses, headers, tackles, fouls and interceptions have been made on the field for all players on the pitch. Managers can view this analysis both live in-game and post match, allowing them to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of both their team and their opponent’s and adjust their tactics accordingly. 

Football Manager 2010 features a brand new User Interface, with a light and a dark skin to choose from as part of a vibrant new look and has undergone a complete navigational overhaul. The side bar navigation of previous years has been replaced by an intuitive tab system at the top of the screen, making Football Manager’s famed depth easier to navigate and will make the game more accessible to new players. 

A brand new Data Editor will allow the addition of new divisions to existing leagues and of entirely new leagues as well as making it easier than ever to keep the game up to date, and do so for free. The delivery of information to the manager has been refined with users now able to sign up to the News Centre, an in-game subscription based newspaper that lets you get the news that you want about the football world and filter out the stories that you do not need, making the football world as immersive as you want it to be.

Following the debut of a 3D match view in Football Manager 2009, this year’s release sees a revamp with improved AI, over 100 new animations for the 3D pitch view, new stadiums, crowds, realistic pitch degradation and better lighting, creating an even more realistic match experience. 

Further new features will be announced via a series of blogs in the months leading up to the game’s October 30th release date which will ensure that Football Manager retains its position as the most realistic, most played, highest reviewed and best selling football management simulation in the world.

Football Manager Handheld 2010 also has a host of new features and improvements, including a brand new skin for the game and improved match engine AI.
