Volvo V40 Cross Hatch has a new turbo and all-wheel drive

Volvo has introduced a new modification of the “all-terrain” hatchback Volvo V40 Cross Country. She got a new gasoline turbo family Drive-E and all wheel drive system. Hatchback Volvo V40 Cross  has already been called the most environmentally friendly representative segment.

The new two-liter engine, which added a Volvo V40 Cross Country, develops 245 hp Thus, it is somewhat weaker than the five-cylinder engine, which replaces a novelty – a hatchback version of the T5 features, depending on the market, 249 or 254 “horses”. There is some loss in the amount of torque – 350 Nm against 360, but Volvo believe that is a small price for the impressive efficiency and environmental friendliness.

However, exactly how much fuel will consume hatchback Volvo V40 Cross , is not specified. We only know that, instead of 6-step “automatic machine” it is equipped with 8-band box with the ability to shift paddle shifters. But Volvo’s reported amount of harmful emissions: the new product will emit 148 g of CO2 per kilometer. This is slightly less than, for example, the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 or Audi Q3 with the two-liter turbo engine comparable.

European sales of the new modification will start this fall. According to preliminary plans, winter Volvo V40 Cross Country with the new engine and the automatic transmission gets up to.

How to understand what a women wants

Great news! Now, if you want, you can cut off his ears and sell for big money – you are no longer needed.

It turns out that you have no need to listen to women – much safer just to look at them. Her body will tell about his mistress more and more honest than she. (And thus never embark on a reasoning about horoscopes, about feminism and striped rib – which can also be regarded as a considerable bonus.) To help you – this little but very useful wordless phrase book.

Smile free

Pretty easy to understand, whether the girl is happy to communicate with you, or a smile pasted on her face as an element of make-up. In true smile involves not only the lips, but his eyes (which appear in the corners of the small wrinkles), and the entire face (it becomes more relaxed). Also make sure the girls pose – if it is hard and unnatural, then smile, most likely the same.

Happy Feet

Pay attention to the legs. If they are aimed in your direction – a good sign. But even more reliable signal – mechanically stroking the legs and hips hands (and not only when it is in a mini-skirt – women in jeans, this rule also applies). Easy tapping his fingers on his knee or poddergivanie hem up – all this unconscious desire to wake up your sex drive.

Along the lip line

Woman feeling slight excitement may start automatically stimulate its spending on the lips a strand of hair or straw from a cocktail. Great feature, especially since it also gets you. By the way, she is able to do the same things, being alone. Not the fact that she thinks about sex – maybe she thinks about some unpleasant things and automatically consoles himself.

Cinderella Effect

Now I understand why the heroine of the infamous tale rasshvyrivala throughout his shoes. Observations psychologists have long confirmed – women tend to flirt with us polusnimaya shoe with his feet and waving it in the air. Probably, it involved the same reflex that makes the cat tail tip twitch at the sight of her totally not interested in, foreign and sassy cat.

Do not miss it!

Perhaps she will repeat your gestures and words that you just said. Yes? Yes. And you, too? Me too. So maybe …? Can.

Presentation Blackberry Passport - an unusual smartphone from Blackberry

About Blackberry recently either good or anything – but the company is quite a lively, though not feeling. The fact that the producer line appears unusual device called Passport, learned a couple of months ago – president John Chen at a closed meeting showed this smartphone, but someone posted a photo on the network. All characteristics of the device became known before the start, but as often happens, the devil is in the details, and Passport offers unusual solutions to be used in smartphones and other companies, as well as, perhaps, will give rise to other manufacturers to attend something like that and make exactly the same thing.

Presentation smartphone held in three cities – Toronto, London and Dubai. Below – our report from Dubai, but as you know, the differences in the text of the presentation devices or mood was not. Let’s start with the most important – in Blackberry sincerely believe that since the Passport will gradually return the lost market position. And start with the corporate segment, which is in the world today, 10 percent of all sales. At the presentation talked a lot about innovation and the need to give their corporate customers, focus on what’s important.

Let’s start with the fact that the Passport was named not just the size of a smartphone corresponds to the typical paper passport.Including Russian.

One of the key developments in this device was not square screen or keyboard, like we have seen in smartphones Blackberry – the company paid attention to how the device transmits sound. Firstly, the increased volume of the speaker. It is alleged that he plays 18 percent louder than the HTC One M8, and 350% louder than the Galaxy S5. Sounds like science fiction, it is necessary to listen with your ears, in the coming days I plan to do. Second, each unit has a comfort zone when talking in the usual style when you put the phone to your ear – it is an area in which you are clear and well hear the speaker. The more such a zone, the more casually you can keep your phone or pull it – the positioning accuracy is irrelevant. In Blackberry created a technology Natural Sound, which is a 70 percent increase this area.

And add to this the increase in the typical characteristics – the screen is 4.5 inches square, with a resolution of 1440h1440 points. The battery is 3450 mAh, according to the company, it provides up to 30 hours of full operation. This assurance should be checked, but the latest generation of devices began to work longer, which gives hope that with such a battery capacity that statement – not zilch. RAM 3 GB of built – 32 GB. Chipset – Snapdragon 801. said that developed the device 18 months and this is typical for the industry – here I express doubt, today it is the strength of the 10 months.

Regular 13-megapixel camera – the quality, according to the first reviews, slightly above average. Camera not amazing, but their tasks copes.

The device weighs about 200 grams, it is no wonder with such a battery. It can be called great – 127.7h90.1h9.4 mm, but fabletov he just does not hold. Compromise becomes a keyboard, it is unusual QWERTY-keyboard on the Blackberry, there are only three rows of keys – keys are quite comfortable, the question of localization, ease of switching. It is possible to use the onscreen keyboard.

Inside the well-known to us Blackberry OS 10.3, but there is a new feature called Blend. You can connect to your PC (Windows / Mac), tablet (Android / iPad) via USB, Wi-Fi or mobile connection, and enter the password from your phone Passport, work with your mail. On the big screen, and without taking your phone. A rather interesting bunch – all your data is stored, as usual, in an encrypted device, but you will get access to work remotely from any other device. It is unclear how a security policy – is it possible to make screenshots on other devices such as mail is routed. This is an interesting option and quite curious, but it has to be tested in prac

In Blackberry made quite an interesting move that sales begin in 30 countries today, September 25. Price without contract in the United States will be $ 599 (plus taxes), in Canada, it will be a little longer, but in Europe (eg Germany) in dollar terms will be equal to 835 dollars in the UK – 870 dollars.

I can not say that this device would be something beneficial for the company and it will regain its consumers. But glad that Blackberry trying to revive the brand and continue to develop devices that do not follow the market, and trying to find his face. According to my observations, this device will be one of the funniest in the aspect that it will take pictures with the passports of different countries of the world – it was too on the surface is such an association.

In the near future we will have a review of this device, and while it was only the first exposure on the basis of the presentation.

iPhone 6: Ten reasons to be disappointed

Some thought that the review iPhone 6 are all very good – their words not refuse, but I decided to prepare a summary of disappointing facts about the new smartphone Apple. Hide nothing I will not, I will tell all!

1 Things are very important, and this is Apple’s well aware of all the books about Steve Jobs written about his efforts to improve the product literally everything, to bring to the ideal of every little thing. And so I Pryderi lever to turn off the sound. When disabled, the lever a little bit loose. Trifle? Yes. But such was not the iPhone 5 / 5S, personally tested on multiple devices, there lever like a glove and only moves up or down. The iPhone 6, alas, it is not so, the upwards significantly walks. Do not be scared. But as there about little things?

2 Or, protruding camera lens. Anyone who takes a smartphone in hand, immediately draws attention to it. And I, too, pay attention. I think in the iPhone 6S design change, but a shame that the designers did not fight to the end, as in Jobs – his name will long recall Apple’s case and without. Apparently, the company’s employees to relax a little and offer the possibility to do something not quite right – if only to make. And is not the person that can say, “Guys, protruding camera lens – it’s crap. Let’s change everything, but get rid of this part. “ I do not understand why there are claims to the inserts, antennas, they just look harmonious. But when you give a person look iPhone 6 and he immediately drew attention to the lens – yes, I understand.

3 It’s great when the smartphone 128 GB of memory. It is true cool. I downloaded a bunch of albums and not fussing over every shot, plenty of space. But what about the RAM? I just see some applications do not run the first time. See how slowly sometimes the transition from program to program, and how slow to rotate the image in the gallery. What is this behavior? That did not happen in the iPhone 5S, what has changed in the six? Or maybe it just has not changed? And those pesky brake happen just because of one gigabyte of RAM? I am sure that in the next update will be done with bugs struggle. But why could not immediately think of it?

4 “What is unique here?” – Asks me buddy, the owner’s new iPhone 6. For a couple of minutes, I hang out, and the truth, and that is unique compared to the iPhone 5S? In the improved “five” put Touch ID, there was a better camera, there was a golden color, it is possible to shoot slo-mo. Compared with the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C unique pieces were. What iPhone 6? There are already known to Touch ID, which was to be expected, there is a gold version. , A model with 128 GB of memory, at 6 Plus has optical stabilization. But there is no icing on the cake, something that would give me the opportunity to tell a friend Basil: “Bob, here is such a cool feature, it is nowhere.” Yes, I am very happy that it’s an iPhone with a large screen, but the very cherry is not here. Alas.

5 In the first couple of days there was scratch at the bottom, below the display. Yes, I wear the device at random and do not care about safety. But scratch? On the glass? How?

6 I thought that the iPhone 6 will last longer – do not know how to behave 6 Plus, but “six” I have been in charge three or four o’clock in the afternoon. Start the day at eight, using a smartphone to complete the program, and has twice been that he just switched off in his pocket, was about five per cent, and they disappeared almost instantly. Apparently, while the updates will try to improve, now iPhone 6 behaves like many smart phones with Android, worse than the iPhone 5S with the same version of iOS.

Glitches iOS 7 8! Yes, my friends, then you can talk about all sorts of things a lot and for a long time. Very strange organization and behavior of the photos in the gallery, a very strange behavior of many applications, programs crashes, sometimes the machine is turned not the first time. There is no stability. Of course, it all better, but still a little sad.

8 I constantly push the power button, recall it was moved to the right end, before she was on top. Just talking about the device in your hand and push without looking – not once, not twice, I accidentally passed to the call menu and someone managed to make a call, accidentally fingering on the display. In fact while you carry the device in your hand, hold it by the ends, from here and from being pressed accidentally. With the iPhone 5S was not like this, click on the button above accident was virtually impossible. So it falls under the thumb it’s great, but would be better if it was left in place from the top. Every iPhone owner told me about it: “They that have suffered button?Well, why? “

9 already regret not having bought an iPhone 6 Plus, at least for the very stabilization and battery. And in general, the output of the two devices are almost the same – a strange phenomenon. If the iPhone 5S and 5C are really very different, something about family sixes this to say. And many have a question, what kind of machine to choose. Answer: “buy one that fits comfortably in the hand” is not appropriate – some familiar girls already 6 Plus, and cope well, can be used. In general, it is hard to choose, it is very hard.

10 Awkward to use with one hand. And there is nothing to add!

Ten million over the weekend – such data have sounded at Apple. Excellent performance, but if you carefully read all of the above, you probably wonder – is it really the company did not test the machine? Is a blind eye to any shortcomings? This is nothing new. The iPhone 4 was a problem with the antenna, the iPhone 5 body peeling, the “Six” as long as the terrible disease is not noticed, all of these quibbles about the lever and the buttons are not so scary. But do not say it is impossible. The company asked a very high level of quality, and opening the box with the device, waiting for something perfect. In principle, iPhone and 6 is equipped. The ideal smartphone for users iOS – notice I do not say anything about the users Android. Eternal quarrel, quarrel high time to stop. There are people who prefer Android, this system has long been matured, gained millions of fans, there are excellent smartphones – to take at least September, this Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and Motorola X second generation. Now many say that the market alone faceless devices with larger screens, but before, but our grandfathers, but in the two thousandth year, but Siemens – it seems to me now the moment technical marvels and the former can be left behind . All disappointing facts about the iPhone 6 – no more than a child’s complaints on the non-ideal toy.

But in fact the ideal toys and does not happen, because any toy is made by people.

And if you go back to iOS and iPhone 6/6 Plus, at the moment it really is the best iPhone on the market.

Owning iPhone 5S will give one piece of advice – if you are satisfied with the smartphone and nothing anywhere about lights upgrade, you can safely wait for the iPhone 6S. There certainly fix many (or all) of the above.

The yen fell against all major currencies

The yen fell against all its major counterparts after the Health Minister Yasuhisa Shiozaki, who oversees the Government Pension Investment Fund, announced its intention to hold a series of reforms. Shiozaki signaled that he was not in a hurry to make changes to the law on how the fund may invest. Minister developed this theme in the course of communicating with a group of journalists, saying: “good” law – it is better than something hastily drawn up, but “we also need to think about what can be done even without a change in the law.” The bottom line is that the reforms could lead to an increase in purchases of foreign assets, and it puts pressure on the Japanese yen.

In general, a set of factors, from the perspectives of monetary policy to growth and geopolitical tensions between large investment managers on the eve of the end of the quarter, prompted investors to buy safe-haven assets.

Dollar exchange rate closes its sixth consecutive week on the back of improving the growth performance of the American economy. This increases the chances that next year the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates. In the meantime, the market will wait for the report on employment in the United States next Friday for orientation with respect to the health of the economy.

Market “shaken off” from the peace-loving comments Evans, who reiterated that inflation may exceed the target level of 2%. Also, he said that the Fed should be patient before they start raising rates. These statements are in stark contrast to remarks Mester and George, who are convinced that the tightening of monetary policy is better to start sooner than later. US economic indicators and the growth of short-term rates to support the dollar in the past few months.

We adhere to the “bull” point of view on the USD, however, taking into account the dynamics of the last exchange, we can say that the dollar is ready to roll back. Most of the positions and technical indicators that we track – stretched and raises fears that the Fed will not be able to adjust its policy until December.

Economic indicators, in turn, can be unpleasant surprise, especially given the “bullish” sentiment in the market. In addition, it is worth noting that the composition of the Fed in the coming year will be dominated by representatives of the “peaceful” camp. Fisher and Plosser leave the committee, and Evans – the brightest representative of this camp – it will be a voting member.

Finally, DXY has exceeded the level determined in accordance with the 2-year yield, which indicates that the rate should be increased or DXY has to do a rollback. “- Experts say the SA.

One of the biggest "bull" Zervos spoke in a threatening tone

This time it’s different?

Over the years we became accustomed to the growth of markets and shopping for fall. However, the recent sale due to fall in the Dow more than 200 points, a concern of investors.

The main reason lies in the fact that to be the end of the Fed’s policy ultrasoft, and short-term interest rates rise.

Consider the dynamics of interest rates on 5-year bonds, which reach multi-year highs.

David Zervos of Jefferies has long argued that stimulating the Fed’s policy plays into the hands investoram- “bulls”.

Recently, however, he seems to have changed his tone, titled his last note as follows: “The dollar spoils the whole raspberries Fed.”

Zervos writes:

“It was supposed to be a holiday. Quantitative easing comes to an end, and it worked. Committee of the Fed’s open market operations has done a great job and now can make a “victory lap”, but Yellen, Evans, Dudley and Lockhart will have to walk on shaky ground.

Their performances this week sounded like a tocsin, not fanfare. And their meaning was ambiguous complex. On the one hand we have heard – “let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” and on the other – “let’s get ready to raise interest rates, which predicts the market.”

Zervos emphasizes that he does not belong to the “bear” camp. He simply believes that things can go downhill if the Fed carefully “releases the gas pedal.”

Finally, it is certain that the Fed will understand it, and we will return to the middle, when the economy is “not hot and not cold,” and everything will happen smoothly. But for now, he predicts uncertainty and volatility.

Since then, unfortunately, nothing has changed, and the prototype will be the auction of whack. Moreover, on public roads, he was not destined to go – staying in the status of the concept, the car did not pass the required certification in the United States.

Ebola - symptoms and ways of infection

Today in the world there are still deadly disease. And due to the recent large-scale epidemic in some African countries, we offer to learn what Ebola – symptoms and route of infection.

What a Rush Ebola 

Ebola was first recorded in 1976 in the area of ​​the river with the same name in Zaire. Then her mortality was 88% of all infected. Since then, the virus regularly causes epidemics in some African country. A percentage of mortality varies from 0 to 100%. So to predict how behave new kind of virus, no one can.

The virus can be transmitted through blood, mucous membranes, and physiological secretions from person to person or from infected animals. Most often carriers melts bats, rodents, sick chimpanzees, pigs and their meat.

Signs of infection

5. Abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea.


6. Dry cough and pain stabbing character in the chest.


7. Begin to develop symptoms of dehydration.


8. Encounter skin rash.


9. Reduce the operating function of the liver and kidneys.


10. In half of the cases appear bleeding (hemorrhagic syndrome) – almost the last stage at which recovery is already unlikely.

The appearance of heavy bleeding gives disappointing forecast. Typically, if after two weeks the patient did not recover, the probability of mortality is 85%.

Treatment Ebola 

Prior to the onset of hemorrhagic phase, the disease often resembles the usual types of fever, so it is extremely difficult to cure. Indeed, after the bleeding will do will already be almost nothing is impossible.

In the world as long as there is no licensed vaccine and the vaccination program from Ebola, it is still only at the stage of development. But as scientists assure, up to 7% of people are immune to this virus, and up to half of cases still recover.

The main thing in the treatment – an intensive impact on symptoms and intravenous maintenance therapy with saline solution. In general, we can say that a universal treatment algorithm Ebola not, there are only a number of medical procedures to stabilize the condition.

Prevention in this disease more than important: personal hygiene, compliance control the spread of infection and personal security – and that’s all that can now provide medicine Zairian Ebola virus (2014).

Secrets of Rosslyn Chapel

Chapel, located in the village of Roslin, – one of the most famous and mysterious Church of Scotland. Secrets that keeps this small chapel, attract many tourists and researchers. We collected the most interesting legends about Rosslyn Chapel.

Construction of the chapel began in the middle of the XV century. The idea to build the chapel belongs to William Sinclair, third Earl of Orkney, who wanted to use this structure as a family tomb. But William was not destined to see Rosslyn Chapel – he died before it was completed. After his death, the construction was suspended son Oliver will finish only the roof of the chapel. For 40 years, continued decoration of the chapel of stone carvings depicting animals, plants, angels, demons and strange characters who are still trying to decipher the scientists around the world.

Since 1592 Chapel was in complete desolation. Only in 1736 a descendant of James Sinclair repaired the most serious damage to Rosslyn Chapel, but it was limited and. In 1861, the third Earl of Roslin James Alexander ordered the architect David Bryce to do the restoration of the chapel. It was re-consecrated in 1862 and since then has served the church functions. Striking decoration of a small chapel has always occupied the minds of both researchers and curious tourists. It is not surprising that Rosslyn Chapel is surrounded by a wide variety of legends – and some of them tell about the Masons and the Holy Grail.

In Rosslyn Chapel is decorated with carved stone pillar, nicknamed “Apprentice Pillar.” She tied one of the most famous legends of the chapel: say that the tower was decorated with a pupil of the great master-mason. Old master went to Rome to clarify exactly how to decorate the column. However, on his return, he saw that the student has completed the upcoming master work: he decorated column pattern that I saw in a dream. The young student was hoping that his praise and maybe pay a little more than promised, but his initiative turned against him: thread was so good that the master was kindled hatred and envy to apprentice. Blinded by rage, he killed an innocent student and was subsequently executed. Some researchers believe that this is a real event, citing as evidence the presence in the chapel of the reliefs that depict the master and disciple. In addition, there is evidence, according to which during the construction of the chapel, Bishop of the Diocese of St Andrews, in charge of the village of Roslin, was in Rome – he probably went there and then to get a blessing from the Pope to the purification of the chapel, as its walls there was some unpleasant event.

At the same time, there is an assumption that the legend is based on the Masonic legend, which tells about the master Hiram Abiff, adorn the temple of Solomon. It is believed that the colonies – a world tree Yggdrasil (gigantic ash), the form in which the Norsemen were the universe. A node is a zodiacal constellation, and the branches symbolize the planet. At the base of the column shows the dragons, who are trying to tear the roots of Yggdrasil, the tree of force to deprive the earth. There is a legend which says that within the column is hidden holy grail, which until now nobody has been able to extract from there. What exactly is this mysterious artifact – a mystery. Some believe that in the bowl are the relics of Mary Magdalene. In any case, the holy grail is of interest to many researchers, despite the fact that there is no scientific evidence that it really exists. Therefore, the ministers of the chapel are subjected to pressure from the people obsessed with finding the cup, which in that no matter what want to explore inside the column.

Also there is a legend, according to which in the crypt Sinclair has a secret passage, which takes you to the cache. More options branch: in the cache may be the Scottish crown, and holy grail, or the Knights Templar treasure.

The ceiling of Rosslyn Chapel is decorated with strange symbols that have so far nobody has been able to decipher. It is connected with them another tradition concerning the treasure of the Templars: legend has it that, to decode these symbols, you can get the data and create a map that indicates the location of a cache of values. At the same time, there is another theory that the symbols will indicate where the hidden ancient manuscripts. But the most plausible theory suggests that the characters – it’s just notes some tunes. This statement is supported by the fact that the walls of the chapel depicts a lot of variety of musical instruments that keep the angels.

Many secrets that hides the Rosslyn Chapel, the inspired writer Dan Brown to create a best-seller “The Da Vinci Code”, which sounded the legend of the Holy Grail. After the release of the novel number of visitors Rosslyn Chapel has increased, despite the fact that the facts that the writer has given in his work, are not supported by scientific evidence.

The French company Renault has rethought the concept car Espace, which in all four previous generations presented himself as a full-size minivan. Family flagship in the fifth generation will be of a roomy MPV crossover. Moreover, the French themselves, declassifying a novelty on the eve of the Paris Motor Show, has never mention the word “minivan”, even though it is primarily those and still is – the choice will be available as a five-, seven-seater version and Espace.
