By the time the Cummins/Peterbilt SuperTruck made its public debut in February boasting 10.7 mpg, some contemporary trucks were achieving better than 8 mpg, and some super-fuel-conscious fleets boast even higher. While that may make the SuperTruck accomplishment seem slightly diminished, that 10.7-mpg milestone is only a small part of the story.

The Peterbilt-Cummins SuperTruck project achieved almost-unheard-of gains of 68% in freight efficiency over a 24-hour duty-cycle, a 50% improvement in freight efficiency on an 11-hour drive-cycle and a 20% improvement in the thermal efficiency of the engine. How did they do it, and what does that mean?

Traditional thinking on automated manual transmissions has it that AMTs are the great equalizers – bridgers of skill gaps between the best and the worst drivers in the fleet. While that's still true, AMTs now bring even more to the fuel-economy table, offering fuel savings in their own right beyond what even the most professionally driven manual transmission could accomplish.

Proving it in Piscataway (No. 2 — Rutgers' Paul James)
|(AP photo)
Twitter: @Tyler_Barto
Less than a week remains until the start of Rutgers training camp. This top-25 countdown will run infrequently, documenting who's got the most to prove in 2014.
No. 2 — RB Paul James (6-foot, 205 pounds)
Why James is on the list: Despite the Big Ten style that Rutgers' talented workhorse embraces, James has yet to prove he can remain healthy for an extended period.
A lower-body injury dodged James for four games and reduced his effectiveness in others.
Before leaving the fourth game of the season, James averaged 3 yards more after contact than his replacement.
Shoulder surgery cost him the spring. A productive Big Ten season relies on James's frame.
During training camp, keep an eye on: how offensive coordinator Ralph Friedgen divvies up carries during live periods.
Rutgers thinks it has three quality backs in James, Desmon Peoples and Justin Goodwin, who also missed extended time this spring. Savon Huggins is out for the time being.
2014 outlook: James's 200-pound frame appears perfectly suited for the Big Ten, but his vision and patience often go unnoticed.
With Rutgers' starting offensive line intact, James could be among the conference's best — if healthy.
More from the countdown: No. 1 — Gary Nova
No. 3 — Nadir Barnwell

It's Google's turn to sweat a bit

Seattle Times staff columnist
If you feel a rumbling coming from the Hunts Point area Tuesday, it's probably Steve Ballmer doing one of his celebratory dances.
Not because the Microsoft chief executive is finally closing the Yahoo deal. Who knows if, how and when he'll untangle that hairball?
The Yahoo drama is really a diversion from the real war that's going on between Microsoft and Google.
All the attention on Carl Icahn and Jerry Yang is starting to feel like we're obsessing about "American Idol" finalists while a war rages in the Middle East.
The bigger story is that Google and Microsoft are warring over which one will be the world's dominant software company. Yahoo's not a contender, it's materiel.
It's in that war that Ballmer can claim a small but important victory Tuesday, when Google will be the focus of a hearing before the Senate subcommittee on antitrust, competition policy and consumer rights.
The same committee in 1998 raked a cocksure Microsoft over the coals.
Now the senators are concerned about Google providing ad services to Yahoo, and what that consolidation of market share means to the public and Internet advertising.
Separately, the U.S. Department of Justice has started a formal investigation of the May partnership Google and Yahoo formed to thwart Microsoft's takeover attempt, The Washington Post reported.
Was Ballmer's master plan to hang the antitrust albatross on Google?
He claims to want Yahoo mostly so Microsoft's online businesses can quickly scale up. But Ballmer had to anticipate increased antitrust scrutiny of Google could be a positive outcome if Yahoo was pushed into an alliance.
Microsoft is probably the world's most knowledgeable company when it comes to antitrust scrutiny.
Not only has it learned the ropes in Washington, D.C., the hard way, it's also had painful lessons in the ways regulatory problems can gum up the works at a fast-moving technology company.
You're not as nimble if you're second-guessing your moves and you have to run everything by lawyers first.
One thing to watch for is whether the hearings and subpoenas discover more than just Google's big market share.
Remember that Microsoft's monopoly wasn't the problem as much as the tactics it used in the 1990s to build and extend that position.
Even if Google really does no evil, it would have been scrutinized eventually because of its dominance. It's approaching 70 percent of the U.S. search market share and 90 percent in the United Kingdom, according to Hitwise.
Google had to know this was coming. In some ways it's a turnabout, since its chief executive, Eric Schmidt, previously worked for Sun Microsystems and Novell when they were fighting antitrust battles with Microsoft.
Another thing to watch is how Google responds to the challenge.
The company's collegial, democratic management style is already being tested by its growth.
Now, with antitrust regulators poking around, Google managers have to be more cautious and consult more frequently with lawyers.
Fortunately for Google, many of its engineers and managers have been through this before, at Microsoft.

No and Me Trailer (2010)
At thirteen-years-old, with an unusually high IQ and a knack for observing things about other people, Lou Bertignac is not only the youngest in her class at school; she is also the most unusual. Painfully shy, she has few friends, save for Lucas, whose company helps her get through each day. At home, Lou's life is also difficult: Her mother hasn't left the house in years and her father spends his days crying in the bathroom. Lou's world is dark and sad... That is, until she meets No.

Montreal in the Quebec part of Canada is a new-age global city, where love for knowledge and learning is the focus of the city's activities. Simultaneously on its outskirts, there is a natural world of sports to be experienced with its beautiful lakes and forests. Hi! Blitz visits the Outaouais region, where both learning and adventure beckon the visitor.
It is rare to find a part of the world where the sub-degree cold of the country is matched by the high warmth of the people. The friendliness of Canadians in Montreal or Outaouais in Quebec is overwhelming and their sympathy as you rub your hands trying to keep warm in the biting cold, even in their summer time, is infectious. In this part of the world they speak French but they are not snooty about it, as their French brethren are. This even Canadians will tell you with a dismissive laughing shrug.
We enter the province of Quebec in the best way imaginable, driving through their pristine cold forests, skirting their icy lakes, staring at the clouds that dance incandescently in the distance on the mountains. Canada's forest land is charming and mysterious. The colours of the trees change constantly, peaking finally like a noisy orchestra in autumn, so glorious and unimaginable that people fly down from all over the world just to view the orange and red hues. I try and wonder what it would be like to live in such a forest, like Hansel and Gretel—if you live in Canada, you can choose to live in a home in the woods and often people do. We passed many such log homes as we wound our way through the Montebello region.
We are in the Montebello region to experience a slice of the Canadian weekend life, which, with their strong affinity for outdoor sports, could include a spot of horseback riding, swimming, cross-country skiing, dog sledding, tubing, hunting or fishing. At the hotel Fairmont Le Château Montebello's gourmet restaurant, Aux Chantignoles, I dive into the crêpes drowned in maple syrup and, really, your trip to Quebec is not complete if you do not discover the myriad joys of natural maple syrup, a religion almost in the country. Dribble it on salads, fruits, desserts, steaks—it adds a subtle natural flavour to every dish, making it memorable and addictive.
The next day we drive into Le Parc Omega, one of Quebec's famous national parks. It's a 10km drive through the 1,500-acre park. Carry some carrots with you. Some of the friendlier deer will nose you through the car windows for some generous bounty. The park is very well preserved and rich in bison, black bears, wapitis, fallow deer, moose, wolves, buffaloes, wild boars, beavers, timber wolves, Arctic wolves, caribou deer… If adventurous, you can take a walk through some of the designated walk paths where the animals you encounter are not aggressive. The park gives you a beautiful idea of the natural fauna of Quebec and how freely these animals roamed before human civilisation broke through.
A drive in the fresh air can make one hungry and we need no invitation to dive into the generous array of chocolates at artisan chocolatier Gaetan Tessier's ChocoMotive, where you can watch the traditional and authentic techniques of chocolate-making while shopping for some delicious sinful treats. Incidentally, the Outaouais region has many designated artisan gourmet shops where you can pick up authentic and rare edibles. There is even a map giving you directions to these artisan food stores. So if you're a foodie, a drive through the Montebello region of Outaouais is recommended.
The main city of Montreal yearns to introduce the visitor to more thoughtful, knowledgeable pursuits. Montreal has clearly positioned itself in expanding the horizon of human knowledge in a fun, lively manner and the Space for Life project is one such example. It is the city's noteworthy attempt to gather together the amazing biodiversity of our planet in a compact area and present it in its entirety. It's hard to describe it; the brochure calls it a 'living laboratory'. The viewer gets to see firsthand, in a matter of hours, much of the earth's amazing natural bounty that otherwise would take years to view.
The Space for Life encompasses four sections: Planetarium, Biodome, Insectarium and Botanical Garden. The most popular is the Biodome where you traverse five ecosystems: start with the tropical rainforests, where you encounter orangutans and crocodiles in lush, green, man-made forests; move to the Laurentian maple forests, where lynx, beavers and otters wait to surprise you. From there, you are led into the incomparable views of the Gulf of St Lawrence ecosystem, with its rich underwater fauna and myriad birds. You finally wind up with a visit to the Subpolar region and I could have spent hours just watching the penguins and auks play on the snow and ice. It is such a unique and strangely satisfying experience, bringing home the fragility with which the ecosystems of the world are linked to each other. My other favourite was the Insectarium, which came as a complete surprise to me as I am not a huge fan of insects. But after a visit here and understanding their huge contribution to the preservation of nature's biodiversity, I have become their most ardent supporter. The Insectarium has 44,000 species of insects on display, most so stunning and brilliant in shape and colour that this place could serve as an endless inspiration for fashion collections!
Follow that with a visit to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, where their collection of European and Canadian art will have you absorbed for hours, with the latter actually giving you an interesting glimpse of the evolution of Quebec from being a mere outpost of France to coming into its own individuality and aesthetics, independent of the original motherland.
Montreal's chilly winds obviously inspired its founding fathers to come up with the idea of an underground city, and one can't be grateful enough for the thoughtfulness when you are trying to battle the city's current -4oC temperature. The brilliance of the Underground is that it is connected to all the main thoroughfares and many hotels and just requires you to go into the basement and, voila, you are there! The Underground is lined with boutiques, restaurants and shops. Above all, it is centrally heated, so enjoy the brisk, happy walk and just hop above to the great wide city when you feel you have reached your destination.
If you are a jazz aficionado, take a walk through the main thoroughfares of Montreal and enjoy a fun, raucous evening with some great music and wonderful food. We dined at the famous House of Jazz, which has played host to many legendary and upcoming jazz musicians, topped with some Louisiana-style food.
But above all, enjoy the people. Quebecois are the friendliest people in the world with an amazing zest to expand their knowledge bank, so a conversation with them is always lively, witty and affable.

Blake Shelton is opening up about his love/hate relationship with fellow "The Voice" coach Adam Levine.
"We're those two guys you knew in high school where we have this bond that is unexplainable," he tells "The Tennessean." "It brings out the best and worst in both of us. It truly is an explosive relationship."
The two have a playful hate relationship on TV, but sometimes someone does indeed get mad. "I know every trick to get under his skin," Blake adds. "Until someone is crying, it doesn't stop."
But even with all of that, Blake wouldn't give up their friendship for anything in the world. He notes, "He's one of the best friends that I have, but I still want to kill him sometimes."

text: Basically I'm trying to mount two IBM 6605 68 pin scsi drives. They are detected and I can find them in dmesg. The problem is that I can't mount them (funny naming scheme), and I can't run DD on them to at least get a copy of the data. Is there any way to look through to find out what is going wrong. I have looked for kern.log and that file is not present in /var/log. Is there anywhere else I should check, the dd has been stuck at 0+0 records since I started. I just checked for the first time it is 26000 seconds elapsed using the kill -SRC1 (pid) method. Any suggestions, these are from an AS400 running SSP (system support program) version 7.1, and when I try to mount them it says they are not a block drive. I've been googling to no avail, mainly because this is a very obscure problem. Any suggestions would be great. I'm not new to linux but I'm not an expert by any means.

Fifteen years ago when I was just a single, career-minded whippersnapper, I managed my money. Rather well, I think.
I had a mortgage I could comfortably afford. Direct debit instructions that funneled my wages into accounts marked 'Vacation' 'Christmas' and 'Latest Big Project.' A decent car.
I was in sales so a big chunk of my salary comprised of commission which of course waxed and waned. I avoided the scary financial scenarios of some of my colleagues by covering my fixed expenses with my fixed earnings. And any commission I earned was money I could play with.
My system probably made me less hungry for sales but hey, ho, it worked for me.
Yes, I was pretty awesome.
And then something happened…
I turned.
A Giant Baby.
How did I do that?
Well, I'll tell you – I got on a plane and moved to America.
It is a little known fact that flying in a plane to another continent can render a formerly perfectly competent, accomplished even, person into an unable, pretty hopeless, flailing individual. Getting on one of those planes is, for my UK readers, a bit like entering Mr Benn's changing room – you go in one person and come out another.
When I got to the US, I couldn't drive properly ;-). I didn't have a social security number, I didn't even have a bank account. I had to learn and acquire these basic skills and necessities all over. It was like regressing to being sixteen again although thankfully without the magazines, music and makeup of the time.
Not only that but I was intimidated. I live in the heart of Silicon Valley and there are a lot of very intelligent people here. Talk was of start-ups and buy-outs, stocks and exit strategies. For the most part I had no idea what they were talking about. I listened a lot but learned only that it was all very different to what I was used to.
Now, I consider myself a very traveled person but so many new experiences were coming at me from all sides that I was lost. So once again I focused on what seemed to be important in order to fit in and get about. Learning to drive on the right. Getting a social security number. On learning to ski.
At this point I didn't have a job and I was too busy learning to ski to put my game face on. So earning and managing my own money was well down the list.
On top of that, my husband is a whiz at managing and playing with money, enjoys it, insists upon it.
He'd also developed his own personal financial system over a couple of decades and if you've ever taken over a job from someone who's been at it that long, you'll know that there's a lot of idiosyncracy and shorthand that make tons of sense to the jobholder and is complete gibberish to anyone else. I took one look at it and walked away.
Taxes – yuck. Lines of credit – what was one of those? IPOs? I can't even remember what that stands for anymore (but that doesn't make me any different from anyone else these days.)
In short, personal finance became a fuzzy cloud 'over there.' It didn't rain upon me, it didn't block out my light, I didn't need to concern myself with it and if I did, I might get wet. Besides I was too busy 'over here' learning to ski and all.
I went about my life, having been rescued from all that icky stuff. I focused on building a life in the US, going to school and eventually having children.
And that's pretty much where I am today – fairly clueless about our family finances. But for years a little voice has been whispering at me that this wasn't a good place to be.
I'm aware that I have fallen into a trap many women fall into – leaving it all to someone else and as a result, not being financially secure and confident as I want to be despite statistically being the one who will suffer most in the event of a death or divorce.
So I made it my resolution this year to overcome that. I hired a financial counselor, took over the payment of bills and learned Quicken. It was a real struggle for me and over the summer I had a relapse.
I enjoyed our vacation, spending freely, and just couldn't find the resolve within me to purposefully put myself in front of a spreadsheet. Why would I put myself under a cloud when I could stay out in the sun?
But I need to pay bills. On time. I need to understand and protect my financial position. I need to change my relationship with money from one of passing acquaintance to BFF (sorry, chocolate-covered blueberries, it's me not you.) And because of the confidence and security having that knowledge will give me, I want to.
I mentioned recently that I was to start a new 30 Day Challenge.
I promised to let you know what it would be.
My September 30 Day Challenge is to reverse the process that turned this competent, financially-aware woman into a Giant Baby.
I will spend fifteen minutes every single day attending to my personal finances.
I will get out my checkbook, login to my bank account, pull up Quicken. I will write checks, log expenses, and file. I will read and learn. But most importantly, every day, without fail, I will spend this amount of time working on money. And I trust I will gain clarity, confidence and an excellent credit rating in the process.
At the very least, I'll get that Giant Baby to stop screaming. She's loud!
Will you join me in a 30 Day Challenge of your own? Let me know in the comments!

Marriage is the legal, religious and/or spiritual joining of two people. Typically, these two people are driven by love, romance and desire to be together. But love is the easy part; cohabitation and long-term relationships offer more challenges. The longer you are with someone, you not only get to know them better (oftentimes much better than you wanted or planned to), but you also learn a lot about them — what makes them tick and what gets under their skin — as well as yourself. And sometimes, things can go sideways and even downright sour.
Here are the top ways that marriage can actually make things worse for you and for your significant other.
You let go of friendships: People believe that once you are married, you need to let go of past relationships and focus on your marriage, but that's not healthy. Part of what your partner fell in love with is the person you are and that includes your individual experiences, hobbies and interests, relationships and opinions. By sacrificing friends, you limit your exposure to people who have indirectly helped guide your thoughts. This can end up limiting your personal growth and stagnate your relationship.
You fight dirty: If you know the little things about them, you hold a lot of power in an argument. In relationship terms, it's called "going for the jugular" – meaning: you say or do the precise thing that is the ultimate insult/dealbreaker/gotcha and thus "win" the fight. But the aftermath is often worse that the fight itself.
You withhold sex/love/emotional support: When dating, passion and love are free flowing. But after marriage and a few years of real and/or imagined slights, resentment can build, resulting in lots of "I'm not in the mood" or "Well, I guess you need to work that out" statements to your significant other. The result is not only the start of emotional and physical disconnection for the couple, but the withholding of that intimacy is also rooted in manipulation. In essence, abandoning your partner's physical or emotional needs leads to separation and establishes habits of non-communication and hiding instead of sharing and honesty.
You let yourself go: As couples exit courtship, sometimes they don't feel the need to maintain their physical appearance. Many cite poor hygiene as "no big deal" with statements like: "Who do I have to impress?" These actions and statements send a direct message to your partner that you don't value them, and you don't value yourself ... not to mention the health issues that accompany poor exercise and diet.
You stop going the extra mile for your spouse: When first dating, men and women have their heart and soul invested in the little things: texts in the middle of the day, love notes in lipstick on the mirror, flowers. Once in the relationship, couples might curl up on the couch, cook dinner together and have spontaneous sex. Then comfort creeps in, spontaneity and romance wane, and the little things get left behind as "unimportant." In truth, it's always the little things that count.
Awareness is key to stopping these damaging cycles. The bottom line: Saying "I love you" is one thing, but actions speak volumes, and what your partner does need to back up his or her words. Stay connected, don't get comfortable and keep putting effort in to your actions.

The self-publication of your original eBooks can become a profitable way to generate a lucrative income. An eBook is a book in which can be designed, written and purchased then downloaded by way of electronic equipment. Even if you have limited experience on the internet, you have probably noticed the popularity of eBooks written by many people trying to make money with their own knowledge.
These digital books have become so popular because they provide online readers the knowledgeable information they want through quick and immediate access. These are people who choose not to wait days or weeks on a book via the postal service or other snail mail sources. Their thing happens to be instant reward and these quench that need.
So, where exactly would you come in at?
You can still have success through becoming an author, even if your experience is limited or you simply have none. All that is needed is a topic and information or a guide that will walk you through each step. Each of us can share an area of expertize from our own experiences to those wanting to learn more on that particular subject. Your eBook may just have the answers to questions that others might want to know.
Some writers may choose to use a third party publisher to sell their own work. Of course this can be a viable enterprise, but you can run the risk that the third party publishers may actually reject your work. Even with acceptance, your work could still end up being watered down to the point that your message gets lost and ends up with no resemblance to the original work you created. One other problem is that only a percentage of the profits of your sales will make it's way to you.
However, self-publishing can offer a more unique advantage.
Self-publishing your very own eBook gives you the freedom of self expression without the possibility of rejection from a third party editor or publisher. This enables you to remain in complete artistic control of your own work, including it's price-setting, contents and design. You will also be able to retain all of the rights to your own eBook and have the ability to edit or change anything at your own responsible personal decision, without having to answer to anyone else. You get to keep all of your profits from your eBook sales. To put it plainly, you are completely independent.
It does sound perfectly empowering, right?
With that being said, the actual task accomplishment of publishing for your very own information product can at times seem overwhelming to put in place. Exactly what should you be writing about? Which tools are needed? Where do you find the resources? How to begin your marketing campaign?
These all need to be answered in order for you to thrive as a self-publisher and eBook writer.
You need to have knowledge of the basic "mechanics" that are involved in assembling together a well-organized eBook that pertains to a specific subject of interest for a targeted group you wish to reach. For instance, if you happen to be a dad or mom who works from home, you could make the focal point on topics, such as starting a home based business, tips to work from home more efficient, how to earn money writing from home and so much more that will appeal to others in your same situation. Once you have decided what topic you would like to pursue, you then should begin any additional research and start writing on the subject and learn how to assemble everything together in an orderly and appealing package.
Then you need to gain knowledge of the particulars involved in the self-publishing business. Learn what your eBook needs to grab attention from potential buyers, so you can thrive with a competitive edge over other similar eBooks in the cyber space market.
Publishing and writing your own eBooks will be simple, once you have learned how it all works.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
A Little Bit About Myself
- About The Author -
Hey guys and some girls *winks*. I'm David (Ign "Watermélon"). My highest elo in Season 3 so far is Platinum Division IV (SEA Region). I've only played Jinx since recently, but she has replaced my main range AD, First ever guide! Comment, tweet me (@Davidyourboy) or even PM if you have any advice, feedbacks and criticisms. I promise I can take it. (hopefully...)
- Content Disclaimer -
This guide is based on my experience on Jinx and my play style. Everything here is tried and used by yours truly, Watermélon. This guide may not be up to your standard as I'm just like everyone else, a fan and lover of League of Legends. So if that's a problem to you, feel free to read another guide :)
- What's In This Guide? -
In this guide, I'll try my best in explaining and giving detailed explanations. Teaching you tips and tricks and even some spoiler and secret on the way! You can also spot some Fun Facts and Trivia about Jinx!
All About Jinx
Jinx's role in League Of Legends is known as a Marksman . A marksman is a ranged attacker that sacrifices defensive power and utility to focus on dealing strong, continuous damage to individual targets. Typically focused on using their basic attacks more than their abilities, marksmen have the capability to scale and deal out devastating levels of damage in the late phase of any game. Credits to be given to jhoijhoi Jinx is a fantastic choice due to the fact her damage literally hits you like a truck.. But she still has some flaws and weaknesses.
Passable Pros
-Great wave clear thanks to Fishbones, the Rocket Launcher
-Passive enables you to get in and out of fights quickly
- Zap! not only deals good damage but also slows enemies
-Lunatic Attack Speed when Minigun is fully ramped
-Global Ultimate
Critical Cons
-Short ranged when using Minigun
-Difficult to master
-No escape mechanics
-Snare grenades have long cooldowns
Summoner Spells
Best Choices
Undoubtedly the best summoner spell for 90% of every champion. Enables you to close gaps, flash through wall which makes it a must have for squishy champions.
Arguably one of the best summoner spells in the game for non-specific survivability. Barrier often catches people by surprise. Helps you to kite better and turn the tables around when executed nicely.
Really useful when playing against supports like Blitzcrank, Thresh. Removes debuffs like Exhaust, The Box.
"Super Mega High Ranked and Legendary Choices Even Chuck Norris Will Cry" (Try Em!)
Really useful for Jinx, no? Reveals an area you like and use your ultimate, Super Mega Death Rocket!
Must I even tell you how useful this is? Smite the minion infront of you and quickly use Zap! They wouldn't even see it coming!
Zaptos Build
I don't really want to explain why i run such masteries as it's always different for everyone.
Fishbones Frenzy
Frequently asked question: Is any of the above the best set-up for Jinx?
Well, to be honest, Jinx is very flexible. Players Often run 21-9-0 while some runs 24-6-0. So my answer is no. This isn't the best set-up as every game is different.
Greater Mark of Attack Damage
Greater Mark of Critical Chance
Greater Seal of Armor
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage
Greater Quintessence of Life Steal
8x Greater Mark of Attack Damage is taken because AD is such a potent stat to acquire early game. It enables you to last hit better. I don't recommend running Greater Mark of Scaling Attack Damage as you really rely on those 7.6 ad boots at the start from only this runes. I also run 1x Greater Mark of Critical Chance because that 1% critical chance helps a lot at the start when you're trading hits with the enemy's adc. A suddenly critical strike on them can warn them not to mess with the champ!
9x Greater Seal of Armor and 9x Greater Glyph of Magic Resist are taken. Really standard defensive runes, you can choose to run 9x Greater Seal of Scaling Health if you want.
2x Greater Quintessence of life steal and 1x Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage are taken because Jinx has very short range, 525. So she often gets harassed when trying to last hit the caster minions. Starting with a doran blade increases your sustain in lane dramatically. With the extra Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage, you start with a 10+ AD boost all together right at the start! (9.8 to be exact)
Abilities Sequence
Zaptos Build
Fishbones Frenzy
There's a huge discussion between maxing Switcheroo! first and Zap!. If you look at the damage perspective, Zap! wins Switcheroo! hands down. For example, if we only take 100 AD into account on Jinx and she's only lvl 6, ignoring all armor penetration, armor on the champion and blah blah blah, Switcheroo! deals 110 damage to that champion as it deals 110% of your AD. As for Zap!, you deal 110+(140% AD) which is 250. But if you look at it in another perspective, Switcheroo! pwn hard! The attack speed bonus given by the Pow-Pow, the Minigun is so fast that you can even ignore some attack speed item at the start. Switcheroo! lets you clear wave really fast while Zap! can only help you get one minion every 8 seconds, provided that you are really so desperate just for a minion. So after reading that explanation, ask yourself: Do I wanna play as a sniper? hiding in bushes with my TRG-21 and snipe my enemies and possibly get a kill or would I want to focus on farming?
Explanation:Whenever a champion or tower that Jinx has dealt damage to within the last 3 seconds is killed or destroyed, she gains 175% Movement Speed that decays over 4 seconds.
Pow-pow, The Minigun
Explanation: Jinx's basic attacks grant bonus attack speed for 2.5 seconds, stacking up to 3 times. The stacks decay one at a time when she stops attacking with her minigun.
Switching to her Rocket Launcher will not clear any active stacks, but they will not grant attack speed after her first attack.
If you plan on maxing this first, you can ignore some attack speed items at the start as the attack speed bonus given is insane.
Fishbones, The Rocket Launcher
Explanation: Jinx gains bonus attack range and deals 10% AD bonus damage on her attacks, at the cost of mana per attack.
Additionally, her attacks will splash to nearby enemies - dealing 110% AD to all enemies within ??-radius area. The bonus damage to her target and the splash damage both scale with critical strikes.
Explanation: After a short delay, Jinx fires a shock blast that deals physical damage to the first enemy hit, also granting true sight and slowing it for 2 seconds.
The pictures above are some pretty standard and good place for you to Zap!
Flame Chompers!
Explanation: Jinx tosses out 3 chompers that, once armed, explode on contact with enemy champions dealing magic damage over 1.5 seconds to nearby enemies. The champion that sets off the chomper is also rooted the same duration. Chompers explode automatically after 5 seconds.
In picture 1, 2, 3, 4, you can see how i placed my Flame Chompers! You would want to put behind them or where you think they would back off. While in picture 5 and 6, I used my Flame Chompers! to close the escape route and forced the Shen bot to taunt back to me.
Super Mega Death Rocket
Explanation: Jinx fires a rocket that gains damage over the first second it travels. It explodes on the first enemy champion hit, dealing Physical Damage plus a percentage of the target's missing health. Nearby enemies take 80% damage.
Like Enchanted Crystal Arrow, Jinx super mega death rocket can be used in your lane or globally. In picture 1 and 2, I used my ultimate to hit Xin Zhao which was at Top. With good map awareness and timing, You too can also get easy kills which benefits you in late game. In picture 3 and 4, I gave Shen a chance to escape just so I can blast him with my rocket.
Area Checking!
Flame Chompers! when used together with Zap! gives you some OP C-C-C-Combo!
People often use Zap! to check brush and dragon or sometimes even baron nashor . Personally I feel it's a bad way to check or scout an area with it. No doubt you can Zap! the Dragon and get vision on it. But what if, the opponent is doing it? Will you try to steal it? If so, would you use your Super Mega Death Rocket! to blast at it and only have a piece of luck to successfully steal it?
As you can see, when you place down your Flame Chompers!, it gives vision bigger than Zap!. In addition, your Zap! is up which can help you to steal buffs and Dragon. Even if you miss, you only wasted <100 mana and only need to wait for <10 seconds. Now which do you think makes more sense?
Items That Make Jinx Who She Is, Jinx
doran blade A standard start item for almost all AD Champions. Follow by a Health Potion and all your
, you're able to sustain in lane just fine. But when facing against Champions like Ezreal or Corki, or you're just lacking in confidence, a Long Sword and 3x Health Potion can also be taken into consideration.
b.f. sword Is the first item you would want to go/aim for, follow by Boots of Speed. But if you're having trouble farming or enemy's AD Champion is harassing you too much, you can buy a Vampiric Scepter and Boots of Speed instead.
First core item as a Jinx. When fully stacked, gives 100 AD and 18% Lifesteal. With this, you can poke harder and stay in lane longer.
Upgrade your Boots of Speed into this for some extra Attack Speed.
I choose Last Whisper as my second core item because that extra 40 AD at only 2300 gold works really well. Plus! It ignores 35% of enemy's armor, making Zap! hit like a truck.
This will be your 3rd core item, because when you managed to get this item, your Switcheroo! should already be maxed. When Pow-Pow, the Minigun is fully ramped, your AS should be 2.00+, letting you shoot twice per second. The unique passive given by phantom dancer lets you walk through creeps, making your escapes and pokes easier. No need to flame at those ******ed minions again for blocking you :D
This is truly needed but only in mid game or late game. The critical strike damage synergies really well with your Fishbones, the Rocket Launcher because it can proc Critical Strikes.
After getting 5 Offensive items, wouldn't it be fair giving the defensive item a chance? Guardian Angel is recommend so you can turn the tides around. Warmog's Armor can also be taken into account if you have really good positioning.
AD-Carry Matchups
Difficulty: Medium
No doubt she has better range than you do (625), but in late game, when you're on Fishbones, the Rocket Launcher, your range is 700. You destroy her late game hands down. The only problem is during the farming phase. You're recommended to farm as much as you can at the start and try to poke her with Zap! whenever you can.
Difficulty: Easy
She is easy to harass as she doesn't have any spells to help her dodge your Zap!. Keeping a nice standard and standing behind minions and help you dodge her Volley. Your ultimate Super Mega Death Rocket! is way stronger than her Enchanted Crystal Arrow
Difficulty: Easy to Medium
Vayne has weak early game mechanics and short ranged. You outfarm her easily. Poke her as much as you can to force her to play cautiously or recall home. Deny her farms often and ask your support to zone her when her support recalled. At late game, Vayne's a beast. she can dodge your zaps! and Flame Chompers! with Tumble. But if you follow what the tips I've given to you, you would be much a treat late game.
Difficulty: Medium to Hard
Ezreal's Arcane Shift makes him very flexible. He can dodge your Zap! easily and has good escape spells. Since Jinx has no escape spell, it's hard for her to dodge his Mystic Shot. All of Ezreal's spells are skill shot based, so make sure to keep minions between you.
Hard to Grandmaster
Never try to trade with Draven. Spinning Axe deals Tons of Damage early game. You should try farming and wait for ganks from your jungler. Moreover, you can try placing Flame Chompers! on where you think his Spinning Axe will fall. This will make his power drop dramatically.
Medium to Hard
Jinx's disadvantage is that she cannot poke Varus with her Zap through minion waves, and is outranged by Varus' Q, but she has marginally better range than Varus with Fishbones, the Rocket LauncherUse your Flame Chompers! to snare Varus in place if you can, then burst him with Zap! + fishbones, the rocket launcer AFTER he has used his Q to win trades, but watch out for any blight stacks you have on you.
Easy to Medium
Kog's Icathian Surprise is pooped on by Jinx's Get Excited!. He has low range and is easily harassed. With the lack of good escape abilities, he is prone to be dead with the help from a Jungler. Try dodging his Living Artillery as much as you can and Zap! him when he is open.
Choosing the right Supports
What is Support some people might ask. What are their roles? Well,a supports make plays by enabling their allies through buffs and heals, or by disrupting enemy lines through crowd control. From laning to late game teamfights, supports create advantages and opportunities for their teammates to capitalize on. A skilled support gives their team the edge it needs to claim victory, and can turn the tide of battle with just one well-timed play. Jinx synergize really well with some supports and doesn't synergize well with some. Supports which work well with Jinx are Supports who are able to stun, snare, or just hold an enemy champion at its current position even just for a second for her to land her Flame Chompers!.
Nami.Personally, I feel Nami is the best support for Jinx. Nami makes up for most of Jinx's weaknesses in lane. Jinx is a slow mover, so Nami's Tidecaller's Blessing can give jinx's autoattacks some much needed kiting ability (the harass on a rocket with bonus magic damage and slowing is truly outrageous)
Jinx's lack of hard escapes is also helped by Nami's passive, Surging Tides and Nami's sustain helps keep Jinx alive until the all-important midgame, where Jinx's turret-melting abilities come into full fruition.
Thresh. Thresh's Dark Passage gives Jinx some protection if she's in a bad position. A combination of Death Sentence and Flay, your chances of landing a successful snare with Flame Chompers! is over 9000. The Box and Super Mega Death Rocket! when used together, literally means death.
Most importantly is communication. A good communication with a Teemo support is way better than a bad communication Sona. So work it out with your support during champion select and always give each other support rather than flaming them just because of a mistake.
Early Game / Farming Phase
Last Hitting
What is Last Hitting?
The ability to last hit is a fundamental skill of an experienced and conscientious player. Landing the killing blow on an enemy minion or neutral monster not only awards you Experience and Gold, vital towards buying items and leveling up, but also allows you to Farm safely without Pushing your lane. Creep Score (commonly referred to as CS) is often used as a measure of how successful one is whilst laning. Focusing on last hitting can be referred to as Farming.
In picture 1, is known as the safe zone. You're not too pushed out which means the Jungler is unlikely to gank you. Even if he tries, you're near your tower.
In picture 2, is known as the medium zone. You can be ganked if you do not ward your tribush. Warding the tribush and the lane bush closest to you can reduce the chances of getting ganked.
In picture 3, is known as the danger zone. You're too pushed out which makes you a nice choice for an enemy's Jungler to gank you. Try last hitting and play a bit passive so that you'll always stay in the safe-normal zone.
Mid Game/ Teamfights
Before I continue writing about Mid Game, I want to emphasize on warding . It's already Season 4, a support is only limited to 3 Stealth Ward and 1 Vision Ward. Before you start flaming your support because you got killed and in a lack of vision, try helping your support ward. getting a Stealth Ward is still better than getting none. With your trinket, you literally have 2 steal ward. Use your ward to ward up some crucial area and you might just save your butt. Here are some good place to ward.

I won't work, says cash battle wife
A Russian former beauty queen embroiled in a High Court money fight with her estranged millionaire husband has told how she does not intend to work in future.
But Ekaterina Fields, 42, today told a judge that she was a "very good wife" and said she would try to find a new husband.
Mrs Fields, who has told reporters outside court that she is a model and a former "Miss World University", is embroiled in a dispute with estranged husband Richard Fields, 59, at a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London.
Mr Justice Holman has been told that the couple were married for about a decade, have two children and disagree over the division of assets worth around £6 million.
The judge has also heard that the dispute could cost the couple more than £1 million in legal bills.
Lawyers have said Mrs Fields, who has a business studies degree, has been married twice and Mr Fields five times.
Mrs Fields - who says she has worked as a personal assistant and tried real estate brokerage and diamond trading - was today questioned by a barrister representing Mr Fields.
Stephen Trowell QC asked her: "Do you intend to work at all after today?"
Mrs Fields replied "No. I intend to make attempts at making money ... It is unclear at this point how I would succeed."
She added: "I am a very good wife. I will try to find a husband."
Mr Trowell told the judge: "She should expect to start becoming self-supporting rather than being dependent on my client forever. There is a duty on Mrs Fields to exercise her earning capacity."
Mrs Fields had yesterday denied marrying Mr Fields for money.
A barrister representing her - Lewis Marks QC - had told the judge: ''It is the husband's case that my client married him for his money and he indulged her throughout.''
Mrs Fields said: ''It was not at all the dynamic of the relationship.''
Mr Justice Holman has heard that Mrs Fields and the children live in London and Mr Fields is based in Miami.
The couple had lived in the United States before their marriage broke down.
The hearing continues.
At one point Mrs Fields wept as she talked about her childhood home in Russia and her late mother.
Mr Fields is expected to give evidence later today.

Optimize the Supply Chain
If corporate IT embraces the principles behind Moores Lawwhich I believe is increasingly likelythe relationships they have with IT vendors and service vendors will be fundamentally altered. The entire semi conductor industry supply chain, for example, has reconfigured itself around meeting customer demand and innovating rapidly. Companies are partnering in ways that would have been unthinkable even a decade ago. Brand owners are including their contract manufacturers in new product discussions, and the manufacturers are driving execution across multiple organizations.
Or, instead of one vendor delivering a single product or service, applying Moores Law means that corporate IT should push vendors to orchestrate success across a network of players. Many vendors are currently building ecosystems but right now, this is really a fancy name for partnerships that define points of integration between complimentary products.
While electronics companies choose contract manufacturers based on their ability to quickly and cooperatively deliver innovation, could a new class of IT vendor step up to the plate? Not to be a systems integrator on steroids, but to be an innovation hub. This means collaboration across vendor boundaries, and if done up front, it can foster Corporate IT innovation that keeps pace with Moore's Law.
Move On
Success is about more than measuring speeds and feeds or up time. Technology vendors pop a cork on the day that a new release goes GA, but the next day they put the glasses away and begin all over again. In the corporate IT world, the same should apply.
For example, the new CRM solution is up and running, but that's not the end of story. IT must think ahead about how about potential improvements and that requires real-world metrics. Are the lower-case c" customers happy? What's the data, anecdotal or otherwise? What has it cost to deliver the solution in terms of network components, training, and support? Can IT go back to the economic buyer with evidence that money was well spent?
Regardless of the results, if IT is on top of the situation it can more effectively manage expectations. Having the answers to these questions is what enables IT to base its discussions with business unit managers on business value, rather than overhead. It can also shift the basis on which bonuses are awarded from projects completed to customer satisfaction.
Mindset is key in successfully "running IT like a business." IT vendors compete for business on price, functionality, and service while corporate IT organizations enjoy a monopoly. If the professionals running them adopted a commercial IT business point of view, the average tenure of a CIO or IT manager would lengthen, the perception of IT's value across the organization would rise, and the IT environment itself would be profoundly impacted. Steve O'Conner is the founder and SVP of ITM Software, an IT business management solutions provider. Previously, Steve was CIO of companies such as Silicon Graphics.

There are two modes, "Auto" and "Manual". In auto mode, the automatically takes the photos in rapid sequence. In manual mode, a small shutter button appears in the center of the screen. The app waits for you to press the shutter button. Once you press the button, the app captures an image and then waits for the next press of the button to zoom to the next incremental zoom setting and take the next photo.
The bottom of the screen has four buttons which set the number of photos the app will capture. The buttons are labeled "3" "6" "8" and "10". In "Auto" mode, once you press one of the numbered buttons, the app begins to capture and incrementally zoom until the corresponding number of photos have been captured.
It needs a way to control the playback speed. If it had that, and included instructions, I'd probably give it five stars."
I like the quick zoom and the fast capture speed.
Heard you on The Tech Guy - Easy to use interface, simple design, quick load. Please add the ability to switch between front and rear cameras. Found your app easily in the app store.
Fun to use on the lift on the mountain, great for taking pictures of moving objects

I recently had the privilege of visiting our projects in Gauteng with our resident photographer, Andre Malan. The site visits were insightful and inspiring. It amazes me how Cotlands is able to penetrate communities and make such life altering differences.
Since starting our early childhood development programmes we have seen children develop confidence and a sense of self that enables them to explore and be curious. As Brutus – the Olivenhoutbosh toy librarian – says, children are like blank pages and we have to write the positives before anyone else has a chance to write negatives into their lives.
At our mobile toy library site in Soweto, I met the most fascinating 2 year old. She was bold and full of life. What I found particularly interesting was her ability to work with seemingly complex puzzles at this young age. She did not shy away from games that the older children played and her ability to identify shapes and colours was fascinating to watch. It was clear that she was not repeating sounds in parrot fashion but rather understood these simple maths concepts.
This for me reaffirmed my belief in the work we do. I love our non-centre based early learning model because it is inclusive of children from all walks of life. Children who would not ordinarily access quality early learning programmes are now given an opportunity to compete at a higher level.
During our 3 day trip I was touched by the unwavering dedication of our staff. In some of the areas in which we work there are no ablution facilities, no electricity and sometimes the refuse in the area hasn't been collected for months, giving off the most pungent of smells. Despite the harsh conditions their passion and compassion for children is evident in their work. They creatively engineer spaces for children to play and learn in a safe and hygienic environment.
We look forward to sharing photos from our inspiring projects with you in the months to come.

February 21, Staff Report
A local developer is looking to put up a new building in Woodside that will include nearly 50 residential units as well as a supermarket, daycare facility, and other commercial spaces.
According to a permit filed with the building department last week, Queens-based developer Cheung Kiu plans to build a four-story, 64,472 square foot building at 31-19 56th Street in Woodside.
The plans show that the development would have 40,099 square feet of residential space, 18,711 square feet of commercial space, and 5,662 square feet of community space, with 47 apartments on the upper floors and retail and offices on the lower levels.
Kiu plans to build an attended below ground parking garage with 68 spots on the site, according to the plans.
The first floor will be occupied by a variety of businesses. There will be a supermarket, a daycare facility for kids between two and six years old, a Laundromat and a beauty salon, according to the plans.
The second floor will have a combination of apartments and medical office space, as well as 28 more parking spaces, and the third and fourth floor will be exclusively residential.
The third floor will also have an outdoor rooftop area for residents of the building.

Polymeric Thin Films for Application in THz Generation and Detection. D. Crowley , B. Kubera , J. Shan Department of Physics, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH 44106. Introduction

Polymeric Thin Films for Application in THz Generation and Detection
D. Crowley, B. Kubera, J. Shan
Department of Physics, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH 44106
The terahertz (1012 Hz) or far-infrared region of the electromagnetic radiation corresponds to many fundamental excitations in solids and molecules. THz falls between the microwave and IR regions of the electro magnetic spectrum. Potential applications of this radiation range from imaging to spectroscopy to security, and much more (refer to Figure 1, below).
Over the past several years, a new approach has been developed based on the dramatic advances in the production of ultrafast optical pulses from mode locked lasers. In this scheme, the femtosecond laser pulses are used to produce and detect far-IR radiation with controlled electric-field waveforms through the use of a nonlinear crystal.
In this study, we attempt to make polymeric thin films for THz generation. Polymers have shown relatively large nonlinearities and have advantageous phase matching properties for these processes. Lack of phonon modes, like in traditional crystals means less of the spectrum might be cut out. They are also easier and cheaper to produce than conventional inorganic crystals.
The initial phase of my project was to build and establish a working THz experiment utilizing conventional sources and detectors. This turned out being successful, and I now have a working THz set up employing ZnTe crystals (Figure 5a – below).
The second phase is to generate a signal using a polymer films. Several difficulties have arisen here, preventing a signal from being detected. The THz signal is proportional to the thickness of the emitter, and the ZnTe crystal is 1 mm thick. Any successfully poled samples have been three orders of magnitude thinner. Corona poling works great for thin samples, but when they are that thin compared to the crystal, and the signal to noise is 100:1 there is little hope. Even averaging over many runs to pull the signal from the noise came up with nothing. The thicker, samples can not be sufficiently poled using the Corona technique, as the same amount of charge is deposited for a much thicker sample – lowering the applied field by a factor of 10 or more. Any attempt to pole them between ITO has caused sparking, and ultimately resulting in damaged films.
Figure 4. a) (above) Disperse Red 1 molecule used in my polymers. b) (right) Picture of one of my earlier stage THz setups.
Thin Film Preparation
A guest-host mixtures is implemented to create our thin films. This requires dissolving of a dye into some host material. In our case, we used disperse red 1 (DR1) dye (see Figure 4 above), in a PMMA host polymer. DR1 was chosen due to its relatively high dipole moment.
First, the PMMA is dissolved in about a 10:1 ratio of solvent: polymer. Once this is dissolved, DR1 is also added and dissolved having about 10% of the mass of the PMMA that is present. Once evenly dissolved, it is time to make the films.
There are two methods that I have tried so far. First is spin coating. Where the polymer is laid onto a glass (or ITO) substrate and put onto a spinning device. This whirls about at nearly 1000rpm flinging off excess solution and creating nice, uniform films of thickness order 1-3 microns. These would need to be stacked or folded to achieve desired thicknesses.
Secondly, I have tried creating wells of different depths where I just lay the solution in and evaporate off the solvents. This has been successful in creating fairly uniform samples from 50-80 microns. In both cases the samples are baked at around 100 C to expedite the evaporation process.
Poling these films is a different story. There are two methods here that I am also trying. Each have similarities though. First the polymer must be heated to around its glass transition temperature (~100 C) – this allows the molecules to move a bit more freely. Next an electric field must be applied to line up the molecules (~50V/um). The sample is then cooled, ideally leaving it in a poled and well ordered state. Better poling results in a larger nonlinear effect to be derived from the material. The two ways I have used is 1) to sandwich the sample between ITO sheets, and apply a voltage or 2) use a needle in what's known as Corona poling to deposit charge on the surface of the film creating an electric field across it.
THz Apparatus
The THz experiment implements a Ti:Sapphire mode locked, pulsed laser to create high intensities of near infra red light that can be used to stimulate a nonlinear reaction resulting in THz radiation. The laser pulses will then be split by a beam sampler to send a majority of the power towards the emitter crystal and the rest towards the probing line. Figure 3 (above) shows an example of a basic THz experiment.
The pump pulse will cause THz to be emitted from a ZnTe crystal with a process known as optical rectification, which is effectively difference frequency generation. THz emission quickly diverges in all directions, but it can be collected and even collimated by properly positioning a parabolic mirror. Another parabolic mirror is then used to focus the THz down onto the detecting crystal. By inserting a pellicle (effectively a large area, thin film beam splitter transparent to THz) into the THz line it is possible to realign the probing pulse with the THz emission so it can be focused in the same position on the sensor crystal. Moving the delay stage let's us trace the THz pulse – note Figure 2 (bottom left).
The electric field associated with the THz radiation causes an electro optical birefringence that alters the probing pulse's polarization. A polarizing beam splitter causes different polarizations to travel in two separate paths to a balance detector which acts like a seesaw. Changes to the probe's polarization by the THz cause the balance to tilt one way or another – allowing us to see a temporal trace of the THz.
Figure 3. Picture of a basic optical THz apparatus. Ti:Sapphire mode locked laser is split into two beam lines. Most of the laser pulse is sent along the pump line to generate the THz radiation. The THz is collected by parabolic mirrors, collimated, and then focused back down onto the sensor element where it meets back up with the probing pulse. THz causes a birefringence in the detector causing the probe pulse to shift in polarization. This shift is measured by the balance detectors.
THz radiation is a new and exciting field lending itself to many useful applications. In order to achieve widespread use there is a need for new emitting and detecting elements which are better and easier to produce. One possible answer is in electrically poled thin film polymers combined with nonlinear optical techniques. While I have yet to acquire any useful results personally. Others have shown that polymers can be just as good of emitters as conventional crystals (Figure 5b – below).
Figure 1. a) image of a tooth taken with THz radiation. b) tumor located just under the skin – detected with THz. c) traces of explosives: not only can THz tell something is there – but can figure out exactly what materials are present due to frequency absorption spectrum. d) 3d constructed image from THz of a turkey bone. e) can look through common items to find dangerous objects underneath – here there is a ceramic knife and plastic explosive. f) THz phased image of watermark in money. THz could be used for lots of quality, security, and medical imaging tasks.
Figure 2. THz pulse (green) being traced out by a delayed probing pulse (red). As delay stage moves along, probing pulse, which is much shorter than the THz pulse, is effected differently by different parts of the THz waveform.
Figure 5. a) 20 scans taken from my THz set up with a trace through the averaged points. b) *example of a comparison polymer film THz signals compared to similar thickness ZnTe.

Tips on Saving Money with Your Injection Molding Project
Having a tight budget can make any project a very difficult one even though the rest of the tasks of the project may be of no difficulty at all. Starting a project means that there need to be the necessary materials, plans, designs, equipment, professionals if there is the need of any, and so on. All of this means one main thing – money. Expanses on projects can be very large, especially for large companies. However, usually small businesses that have small budgets are the ones which are trying to somehow reduce the costs and reach a project plan with expanses that fully fit their budgets. There are several important tips that you can use during the molding project of your business and which can really reduce the money you need to spend on this project.
First of all, if you do not have the equipment then saving money on purchasing it is certainly going to make it less expensive. It is recommended to search for used injection molding machines for sale because there are many great sources that can provide you machines of equal quality as brand new. There can literally be no difference between used injection molding machines for sale and brand new machines that are manufactured for molding projects. It is important to make sure that you keep searching for the right used injection molding machines for sale even if your first attempts are not successful simply because it can take longer research depending on what your skills are when it comes to finding the information you want from the Internet.
Another thing that you can do once you already have your equipment for the injection molding project is to make sure that you select the right material. The material that you select should not automatically be chosen with its best possible properties. There are many materials that compared to others may not be of the best possible properties but can still provide results that are quite similar to the ones that have the best properties and higher prices. This means that if you pay enough attention you can purchase materials for the project that are less expensive than the best possible ones but are not differing significantly with the properties. It could be difficult to find such materials but it is certainly possible and many business owners are already doing it successfully.
Another very important tip for minimizing the expanses on your molding project is to make sure that there are less secondary processes as possible. Secondary processes include custom inserts, pad printing, painting, and so on. These are processes that need very long set up times, as well as costs, and if there is any possible way to reduce them or even remove them completely from your injection molding project, then you are certainly recommended to do so and it will significantly reduce the money that you will be spending on this particular injection molding project for your business.
