Barça regained the peaks in 2015. But according to Luis Enrique, the year was not perfect.

posing with his five trophies before facing the Real Betis Wednesday evening, Barcelona showed he had dominated the year 2015, including 180 goals scored. The MSN is for many, but it is especially the collective of the Catalan club that made the difference compared to other Spanish and European heavyweights.

Lusi Enrique gives 9 out of 10!

In a press conference, Luis Enrique took stock of this wonderful year by scoring 10. “I would give a 9 out of 10. All players can improve their level, all coaches and all the staff of this club C is a very rewarding year, but we surely hurt many things: there have been matches where we have not been up to, others where we were inferior. The difference with the other big clubs in Europe is very small and it all depends on small details. So we must continue to work. “

Luis Enrique already turned to 2016

Lenovo boasts the K4 future display Rating – LesMobiles.com

Lenovo continues its teaser campaign in anticipation of the arrival of K4 rating. Unveiled last item, the screen would be better than the others but does not allow any technical details for the time to explain why.

2016 is still there but it’s almost like Lenovo. The manufacturer already speaks more than his first start of the year on the social networks. Why such haste? It seems that Lenovo is so sure of his stroke and his chances to successfully establish itself in the market that it can not wait. And we must admit that things look pretty good for now. The few elements already announced 4K Note are rather promising, and the last teaser appeared on Twitter fits perfectly into this line.

A better screen than others

After 3 GB of RAM, a fingerprint reader and a NFC chip, it is an exceptional display that promises Lenovo. This is not the exact word he used, but it is very nearly the same. It specifically refers to “killer display”. Understand a screen capable of putting down all the competition. How ? The manufacturer, however, is a little less locace when it comes to explain.

The definition is not the key

No detail technique is unveiled but this time an index is still given comments: “When he gets the screen more than the sum of its pixels? “ So it would be out of the K4 definition screen should note its dominant position, but there is many other areas for improvement: display technology, brightness, color rendering , contrast, shape, glass, borders …

We are very curious as to which of these tracks worked Lenovo. For now, the only certainty is that the screen Note K4 is great since it is logically a PHABLET. For example, the K3 Note measured 5.5 inches. This should be the minimum for his successor but will have to wait for details until the next teaser or, failing that, until the formal announcement in early January.

In both cases, the wait should not be very long.

PSG finished the year on a high note – Eurosport.fr

         PSG leaves aside any game official as friendly. To punctuate his internship in Qatar, Paris has placed Inter Milan (1-0) Wednesday in Doha. His 10th victory over his last 11 games. The Ligue 1 leaders merely a goal of Jean-Kevin Augustine, launched by Marco Verratti in great shape (45th). Laurent Blanc’s players have delivered a first controlled and rather attractive period with many opportunities. The second was more laborious but allowed a broad review of workforce.
       

         Injured for more than a month until mid-December, Marco Verratti showed Wednesday he was hungry balls before attacking 2016. The Italian international has directed the decisive pass on the unique goals, signed Augustine (45th). He also offered some technical sequences while he has the secret, but the bar has opposed his best attempt (29th).
       

         Without their South Americans at kickoff, Parisians attacked this friendly briskly signed with opportunities Augustin (1e) and Matuidi (8th) and a great save by Handanovic with a shot into the top corner Ibrahimovic (12th ). On the other side of the field, Trapp had much less do-except on fire Montoya (18th) and Jovetic (43).
       

         Laurent Blanc was able to realize that he has a promising attack with lining Augustin (18 years), prominent last summer during the US tour PSG. Mobile and active around Ibrahimovic, the young striker has sometimes lacked spontaneity but it deserves to see his playing time increase L1 (117 minutes in six appearances).
       

         The second period was much more messy and chopped on the part of both teams with multiple changes. Aside from two dangerous shots Rabiot (59th) and Kurzawa (73rd), Laurent Blanc has mostly ended up annoying the hard play of Milan late in the game. Fortunately, more fear than harm for the Parisians. They will be complete in Wasquehal on Sunday to play their first game in 2016 two days after NYE New Year, which promises to be very wise for teammates Thiago Silva.
       

The Habs finished the year on a bad note – The Gazette (subscription)

Sunrise – The Canadiens escaped a famous “ four-point game ” on Tuesday.

Despite all the good will of the new goalkeeper Ben Scrivens, the Habs concluded his last game of the year on a bad note, bowing 3-1 to Panthers Florida.

The meeting had special significance for the Canadiens (21-15-3), who was trying to protect his first place in the Atlantic section. Unfortunately, Michel Therrien’s men have not answered the call, and the Panthers (21-12-4) were delighted with CH, who moreover played two more games than them.

“ We played against a big training. This is a team that has a lot of talent, which is very physical and maturing , listed Therrien. The Capitals (Washington) and they are probably the two best clubs in our association.

“ We did not have the energy needed to compete with them, it’s as simple as that. “

Aleksander Barkov, with two goals and an assist and Jaromir Jagr scored for the Panthers. Max Pacioretty was the only one to provide the response.

As was too often the case in recent weeks, the HC lacked opportunism in attack. According Therrien is the execution that was lacking.

“ It’s like a relay race , has he imaged. Although you have the four best sprinters in your team, they call the witness in the ankles, you never end up first. Our transition game was not good tonight. “

So do not blame Scrivens to defeat. Far from being rusty, it seemed very quiet in front of his cage and is illustrated by performing several quality stops. Alberta’s 29, whose previous NHL start dated back to April 11, against the Vancouver Canucks, has rejected a total of 26 shots.

“ I did not find good, I found it very good. It was excellent “, said head coach Michel Therrien about Scrivens.

At the other end the ice, Roberto Luongo, who has won his last six starts, made 27 saves for the Panthers.

Pacioretty, him again

The match started off well for the Canadian.

Less than 24 hours after giving victory to the Habs in the shootout against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Pacioretty opened the scoring on the power play , at 12:39 of the first period.

However, Barkov has brought both teams to square one on the power play at 16:28 of the first period. Jagr, towering column of pointers Floridian club with 11 goals and 15 assists in 34 games, gave the lead to his team while going to a beautiful piece of individual play, after 1:16 in the second period.

This net appeared to shake the CH, which was dominated for much of the second period. Therrien has also seen fit to call a halt to some adjustments in the last third of the commitment. Before the intermission, Daniel Carr could have created equal, but his wrist shot crashed against the crossbar.

Barkov sealed the end of the meeting by thwarting again Scrivens four-against-four at 8:53 of the final third.

Subban throws gloves

Unusually, PK Subban threw the gloves before Derek MacKenzie late in the first period after the player the Panthers had firmly told him a questionable implementation failure. This fight has not a winner more like a wrestling match.

Far from blaming Subban, Therrien said he considered MacKenzie deserved punishment.

Secondly, Devante Smith-Pelly, Alexei Emelin and Jarred Tinordi were again left out.

The Canadiens play its next game on 1 January, on the occasion of the Winter Classic, against the Boston Bruins.

Samsung Electronics: Samsung Galaxy Note Test 5: A … – Zonebourse.com

The “testing” returns week with the examination of another smartphone Samsung . This is the Galaxy Note 5.

Most experts agree that mobile devices creator of high-end large-screen smartphones, in this case Samsung , remains the leader in its class thanks to the use of multidimensional capabilities of its PHABLET, the Galaxy Note 5. We were able to test it and raise its performance. For the different phases of the test, we focused on the most common uses of smartphones namely reading video files both locally and online, surf Internet , write SMS and documents and verify performance on timeliness of data and energy consumption.

On the map appearance, quality of construction of the Galaxy Note 5 has been improved compared to its predecessor, the equally great Galaxy Note 4. The South Korean firm got rid of the plastic. Its engineers used the glass in the front and back of the device and the metal on its contours to give it an air of sustainability. The terminal can then slide easily into the palm of the hand. With a weight of 171 grams and a thickness of 7.6 mm, the Galaxy Note 5 is lighter and thinner than its predecessor, which makes it easy to use in travel. The surprises in the Galaxy Note 5 remains the lack of a micro-SD memory card slot and a removable battery. For some, this exclusion will be missed, especially for those who will have to settle for storage on the terminal that is available with 32 or 64 GB of internal storage.

A stylus for all purposes

The newest smartphone XXL Samsung is also characterized by its S-Pen stylus. Followers of note-taking will be done without unlocking via a digitally printed handwriting on screen. This “e-pen” can be detected by the phone which will in turn automatically start the instant memo mode to write and draw on the screen of the device. Better, of preinstalled applications may also be associated with S-Pen to back such drawings in the internal memory or in the spaces Dropbox and onedrive. This pen has done its job when it comes to writing a text message, a document or memo, to mark text in PDF files to make screenshots and click on the application shortcuts.

In the media plan, the Galaxy Note 5 embarks on the back of a 16 megapixel camera that has autofocus, LED flash and an optical image stabilizer. This allowed us to achieve high quality photos and free of noise signs, even in low lighting. The PHABLET Note 5 also comes with a front camera of 5 megapixels. It is equipped with the same screen as its predecessor, a super AMOLED 5.7 inch whose definition is expressed in Quad HD. This is 1440 x 2560 pixels. This is the highest market definition which allows to reach a resolution of 518 pixels per inch. This high resolution has enabled us to confirm that the digital image specialists have always said. The higher the resolution, the higher the text is readable not to mention the picture clarity in videos and games.

23 hours without recharging using

Running on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, UMTS, LTE and GPS, this smartphone is equipped with a home processor, the Exynos 7420 eight-core (64-bit, 14nm). This processor is specific to the extent that four of its cores are running at 2.1 GHz to perform the tasks powerful telephone, characterized by a high energy consumption. The other four cores are clocked at 1.5GHz in order to perform the energy-consumption data. If we add the standard 4 GB of memory (RAM) to this mini electronic architecture, you get a smartphone able to perform more than 5 tasks with unprecedented energy optimization. Side autonomy, the Galaxy Note 5 has a 3000 mAh battery. He has no replacement battery, but it supports fast wired and wireless expenses. For the first type, it can be recharged in 90 minutes. Whereas 120 minutes are required for a refill without son. During our test, we were able to verify the importance of 4GB of RAM in reducing energy consumption for the execution of quick tasks like video playback where games. Indeed, the autonomy of this terminal has proven conclusively with 23 hours used in voice and data without any recharge. By disabling unnecessary features that turn the processor “in the empty” and therefore consume energy in everyday life, that autonomy can be improved by 10%. The 32GB model is available in shops Samsung to 87.000DA.
