“HEADSHOT” IS A KNOCKOUT.

headshot movie poster


FANS OF EXTREME ASIAN GENRE ACTION WON’T CARE THAT THINGS EVENTUALLY GROW SOMEWHAT PREDICTABLE AND REPETITIVE: IN TERMS OF SHEER, PUNCHY PHYSICAL VIGOR, “HEADSHOT” IS A KNOCKOUT.


Fans of the “Raid” movies will be on happily familiar turf with “Headshot,” in which the Indonesian star/action-choreographer of those films, Iko Uwais, teams with directing duo Timo Tjahjanto and Kimo Stamboel (a.k.a. “The Mo Brothers”) to fill another two hours with terrifically visceral fight scenes. There’s a little more plot on hand this time — which is to say, a tad more than practically none — which helps delay the nonetheless inevitable too-much-of-a-good-thing saturation point of this gore fest. Still, fans of extreme Asian genre action won’t care that things eventually grow somewhat predictable and repetitive: In terms of sheer, punchy physical vigor, “Headshot” is a knockout.
Pretty Ailin (Chelsea Islan) is a Jakarta med-school student interning on a small Indonesian island when the body of a battered man is found washed ashore. It turns out he’s not quite dead, and in two months under her care, he wakes from his coma. Initially amnesiac due to a bullet lodged in his brain, with no memory of who he is or how he got there, he’s dubbed “Ishmael” (she’s reading Melville). But news of the mysterious stranger gets back to crime kingpin Mr. Lee (Sunny Pang), who knows exactly who the young man is — in fact, it was Lee himself who shot him, for rebellious behavior, and had him thrown into the sea. Ishmael (Uwais) is really Abdi, one of numerous children kidnapped by Lee’s organization over the years and trained. Those who survived the sadistic training grew up to be remorseless, unthinkingly loyal killers. It’s a cult-like operation, and our hero made the near-fatal mistake of trying to leave the cult.
Regrouping his forces after a bloody escape from prison (a set piece that opens the film), Lee is more determined than ever to snuff out any opposition within his ranks. When the recovered Abdi proves elusive, Ailin is kidnapped to lure him into the gang’s clutches.
At about the midpoint, the already action-packed film becomes a straightforward gauntlet of mostly one-on-one fight scenes, as Abdi must battle his way up the hierarchy of lethal former fellow assassins (played in ascending order by Zack Lee, David Hendrawan, Very Tri Yulisman and Julie Estelle) before his inevitable face-off with the evil Mr. Lee.
There’s little narrative surprise or suspense once that trajectory kicks in, and “Headshot” is the kind of movie where you have to overlook myriad credulity-stretching aspects to buy the premise at all. Not only does Ishmael/Abdi constantly elude hails of close-range automatic gunfire and bounce back from bone-crackingly brutal punishment, but he rises from a coma looking like someone who’s just spent those same 60 days doing abdominal crunches. Of course, realism is hardly on the menu with a pure adrenaline fantasy like this one. What it does serve up in massive quantities is showy action of both the bullet-ballet and martial arts variety, with other implements (including chopsticks) thrown in to further ratchet up the frequent digital spurts of blood.
As with the “Raid” films, the visual content is first-rate, and just about any of the set pieces here might have provided an admirable climax to a lesser genre exercise. Lined up in a row, however, they begin to lose some impact after a while, though the Mo Brothers (moving away from the more horror-focused terrain of prior features “Macabre” and “Killers”) prove as adept at staging them as “Raid” helmer Gareth Evans. Likewise, the star’s action choreography (credited to “Uwais Team,” while both he and Tjahjanto are billed as the action directors) is imaginative as well as ass-whippingly intense.
Performances are fine considering the one-dimensional nature of the characters. Likewise, a tad more thought could have been expended in the service of generating a few more plot fillips, and perhaps using a more diverse array of locations than the nondescript ones deployed here. But “Headshot” is very single-minded about what it is interested in — fights, fights, and more fights — so everything else in the efficiently tooled conception and assembly must take a back seat. And indeed, the film does what it does so well that few will care about its skimping in nearly every other basic department.

NIO EP9 Fastest Electric Car In The World

NIO EP9 Fastest Electric Car In The World.

The secret is in the four electric motors and four separate gearbox, and the adaptation of technology Formula E.
Ever heard the name NextEV? Unless you follow Formula E (Formula 1, car electric), chances are you did not know him. The China-based company has recently made a breakthrough by uncovering the fastest electric car that claimed universal.The claim does not come without proof. EP9 electric car named NIO has a new record by completing the Nürburgring circuit in 7 minutes 5 seconds. Not surprisingly, given NextEV lot of adapting the technology they use in Formula E to this car.

Apart from all the advantages and sexuality, you will encounter difficulties NIO EP9 on the streets. Because, NextEV only produce six units, and everything was in the hands of the founders of the company even though the price tag per unit is estimated to reach 1.2 million dollars.

Before you step away disappointed, NextEV plans to launch another electric car in 2017. Certainly not a class supercar like this, but at least the price could be more reasonable for consumers at large. this car only produced only 6 units for worldwide. Fancy buying one? You're out of luck. As AutoExpress reports, NextEV is only building six cars and they've all been snapped up by the company's founders. Each one reportedly costs $1.2 million to build, so only the most deep-pocketed individuals could have afforded one anyway. Thankfully, NextEV is promising another launch sometime in 2017 -- a regular production car (maybe a Model 3 competitor) that should be a tad cheaper.

Water Tower Converted into Single Family Home

Built for a single-family house from this tower has what every homeowner could want along with some unique functions. The house is also equipped with the latest IT technology and sophisticated Domotich system that allows a person to control many aspects in this house. It covers everything from the intensity and color of light, the temperature of each room to the volume of the music on the sound system.
Below you will see an attractive home gallery, photographed by Jasmine Van Hevel, along with additional information about the layout and interior.




From Inside The House:


he main floor kitchen, living room, and dining areas are integrated into the rest of the building via multiple staircases. This spiral staircase in the center of the room leads up to a steel bridge and a ladder to the next floor. The staircase is enclosed in chalkboard material, which adds whimsy to this modern space.

scientific explanation why we can feel comfortable after seeing the trees?

trees

Studi di Amerika Serikat bertajuk Environmental Pollution yang dipublikasikan jurnal Elsevier, menguak manfaat kesehatan yang bersumber dari pohon. Ditemukan bahwa setiap pohon dewasa menyerap 17 metrik ton polusi udara. Secara kolektif, pohon mampu mencegah 670.000 kasus masalah pernapasan seperti asma dan 850 kematian manusia. 

Laporan saintifik yang diterbitkan oleh Nature.com pada tahun 2015 tentang kehidupan di sebuah lingkungan di Toronto, menemukan bahwa mereka dengan laporan kesehatan terbaik, tinggal di rumah yang memiliki tak kurang dari 10 pohon. Jika dikonversi dalam materi, persepsi kesehatan tersebut dirasakan seolah seperti mendapat peningkatan pendapatan sebesar Rp 135 juta.

Studi di Rumah Sakit Pennsylvania pada tahun 1970 tentang proses pemulihan pasien menemukan, bahwa mereka yang kamarnya memiliki suguhan pemandangan pepohonan, sembuh lebih cepat daripada pasien yang tinggal di kamar tanpa pemandangan pepohonan.

Di Jepang, teknik penyembuhan seperti ini disebut metode terapi Shinrin Yoku. Yakni satu cara menyerap energi untuk menguatkan berbagai elemen kesehatan dengan menghirup atmosfer alami hutan.

Singkatnya, Shinrin Yoku ini seperti “mandi hutan’. Menurut data, manfaat Shinrin Yoku akan terasa setelah satu bulan. Bagi kamu yang stress dengan tekanan kehidupan, pekerjaan atau asmara yang nyaris membuat putus asa, cobalah mempraktikkan Shinrin Yoku. Usai shalat subuh, keluar rumah menuju taman berjalan menikmati alunan harmoni “the little forest”. 

Di kampung yang cenderung masih terpelihara naturalitasnya, urgensi pohon mungkin tak begitu terasa. Di kota-kota besar, pohon adalah harapan dan bahkan kerap dirindukan.

Kebutuhan akan pohon mengilhami manusia untuk mempertahankan keberadaan ekosistem pepohonan. Dalam skala administratif, pemerintah membuat aturan yang mewajibakn keberadaan pohon sebagai harta bersama. Kita mengenalnya dengan ruang terbuka hijau (RTH). Menurut UU Nomor 26 Tahun 2007, setiap kota mesti memiliki minimal 30% dari total luas wilayah.

Bagi masyarakat urban, suatu saat pohon di pekarangan barang kali akan menjadi aset penting dan kekayaan yang bernilai tinggi.

Dalam skala bisnis, sepengamatan penulis sendiri ada beberapa mal, superblok serta kota mandiri yang betul-betul menonjolkan popohonan. Misalnya di Bintaro, pembangunan kotanya memasukkan unsur pepohonan sebagai bagian penting. Bahkan di beberapa kawasan di Bintaro, suasananya mirip hutan, padahal di kiri kanan ada jalan raya dan perumahan.

Pusat perbelanjaan terkenal di Jakarta, yang paling tersohor tamannya adalah Central Park Mall yang memang berada di kawasan superblok Podomoro City. Tepatnya Tribeca Park yang selalu jadi opsi arena rekreasi keluarga. Di Bintaro, penulis sendiri sering memanfaatkan taman Bintaro Xchange Mall (BXC) yang cukup rindang untuk lari pagi. Meskipun usia pepohonan di taman yang dilengkapi jogging track tersebut masih belia karena memang BXC baru dibuka tahun 2014.

Konsep kehidupan hijau juga sudah menjadi selling point tersendiri produk residential. Jika search di Google, kita akan dengan sangat mudah menemukan perumahan yang menggunakan kata “Green” Misalnya Green Park, Green Village, Green Residence, Green Lake dan yang semacamnya. 

Developer besar bahkan mengembangkan hunian ala hutan yang mungkin unik jika kita sebut forest residential dengan menawarkan konsep one stop green living seperti Orchard Park Batam.

"Believe it or not only the forest and the trees which could provide our further because of the money and property can not be eaten"

Save our world starts with trees in our environment

11 Benefits of Quinoa

Quinoa is one of the world’s most popular health foods.


Quinoa is gluten-free, high in protein and one of the few plant foods that contain all nine essential amino acids.

It is also high in fiber, magnesium, B-vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin E and various beneficial antioxidants.

Here are 11 health benefits of quinoa:



1. Very nutritious


Quinoa is a grain crop that is grown for its edible seeds. It is pronounced KEEN-wah.

It technically isn’t a cereal grain, but a pseudo-cereal.

In other words, it is basically a “seed” which is prepared and eaten similarly to a grain.

Quinoa was an important crop for the Inca Empire back in the day. They referred to it as the “mother of all grains” and believed it to be sacred.

It has been consumed for thousands of years in South America, although it only became trendy and reached “superfood status” a few years ago.

These days, you can find quinoa and products made with it all over the world, especially in health food stores and restaurants that emphasize natural foods.

There are three main types: white, red and black.

This is what they look like:
This is the Nutrien content in 1 cup (185 grams). This applies to cooked quinoa:
  • Protein: 8 grams.
  • Fiber: 5 grams.
  • Manganese: 58% of the RDA.
  • Magnesium: 30% of the RDA.
  • Phosphorus: 28% of the RDA.
  • Folate: 19% of the RDA.
  • Copper: 18% of the RDA.
  • Iron: 15% of the RDA.
  • Zinc: 13% of the RDA.
  • Potassium: 9% of the RDA.
  • Over 10% of the RDA for vitamins B1, B2 and B6.
  • Small amounts of calcium, B3 (niacin) and vitamin E.
This is coming with a total of 222 calories, with 39 grams of carbs and 4 grams of fat. It also contains a small amount of omega-3 fatty acids.

Quinoa is non-GMO, gluten-free and usually grown organically. Even though technically not a grain, it still counts as a whole grain food.

NASA scientists have been looking at it as a suitable crop to be grown in outer space, mostly based on its high nutrient content, ease of use and how easy it is to grow.

The year 2013 was actually called “The International Year of Quinoa” by the United Nations (UN), based on its high nutrient value and potential to contribute to food security worldwide.

2. Contains the plant compounds quercetin and kaempferol

Pile of Quinoa

The health effects of real foods go way beyond the vitamins and minerals we’re all familiar with.

There are thousands of trace nutrients in there, some of which are extremely healthy.

This includes interesting molecules called flavonoids, which are plant antioxidants that have been shown to have all sorts of beneficial effects on health.

Two flavonoids that have been particularly well studied are quercetin and kaempferol, and they happen to be found in large amounts in quinoa.

In fact, the quercetin content of quinoa is even higher than typical high-quercetin foods like cranberries.

These important molecules have been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-cancer and anti-depressant effects in animal studies.

By including quinoa in your diet, you will significantly increase your total intake of these (and other) important nutrients.

3. Very high in fiber, much higher than most grains

Red Quinoa

Another important benefit of quinoa is that it is high in fiber.

One study that looked at 4 varieties of quinoa found a range of between 10 and 16 grams of fiber, per every 100 grams.

This equals 17-27 grams per cup, which is very high, more than twice as high as most grains. Boiled quinoa contains much less fiber, gram for gram, because it absorbs so much water.

Unfortunately, most of the fiber is insoluble fiber, which doesn’t appear to have the same health benefits as soluble fiber.

That being said, the soluble fiber content is about 2.5 grams per cup (or 1.5 grams per 100 grams), which is still decent.

There are numerous studies showing that soluble fiber can help reduce blood sugar levels, lower cholesterol, increase fullness and help with weight loss.

4. Gluten-free and perfect for people with gluten intolerance

According to a 2013 survey, about a third of people in the U.S. are currently trying to minimize or avoid gluten.

A gluten-free diet can be healthy, as long as it is based on foods that are naturally gluten free.

The problems arise when people eat “gluten free” foods made with refined starches instead.

These foods are no better than their gluten-containing counterparts, because gluten free junk food is still junk food.

Many researchers have been looking at quinoa as a suitable ingredient in gluten-free diets, for people who don’t want to give up staples like breads and pasta.

Studies have shown that by using quinoa instead of typical gluten-free ingredients like refined tapioca, potato, corn and rice flour, it can dramatically increase the nutrient and antioxidant value of the diet.

5. Very high in protein, with all the essential amino acids


Protein is made out of amino acids. Some of them are termed “essential” because we can not produce them and need to get them from the diet.

If a food contains all the essential amino acids, it is seen as a “complete” protein.

The problem is that many plant foods are deficient in certain essential amino acids, such as lysine.

However, quinoa is an exception to this, because it contains all the essential amino acids. For this reason, it is an excellent source of protein. It has both more and better protein than most grains.

With 8 grams of quality protein per cup, quinoa is an excellent plant-based protein source for vegetarians and vegans.

6. Has a low glycemic index, which is good for blood sugar control


The glycemic index is a measure of how quickly foods raise blood sugar levels.

It is known that eating foods that are high on the glycemic index can stimulate hunger and contribute to obesity (18, 19).

Such foods have also been linked to many of the chronic, Western diseases that are so common today, like type 2 diabetes and heart disease (20).

Quinoa has a glycemic index of 53, which is considered low (21).

However, it’s important to keep in mind that it is still pretty high in carbs, so it is not a good choice for a low-carb diet.

7. High in important minerals like iron and magnesium.


There are many nutrients in the modern diet that people tend to be lacking in.

This is particularly true of some minerals, especially magnesium, potassium, zinc and (for women) iron.

Interestingly, quinoa is very high in all 4 minerals. It is particularly high in magnesium, with one cup having about 30% of the RDA.

The problem is that it also contains a substance called phytic acid, which can bind these minerals and reduce their absorption.

However, by soaking and/or sprouting the quinoa before cooking it, you can reduce the phytic acid content and make these minerals more bioavailable.

Quinoa is also pretty high in oxalates, which reduce the absorption of calcium and can cause problems for certain individuals with recurring kidney stones.

8. Has beneficial effects on metabolic health.

Although this needs to be studied more thoroughly, I did find two studies (one in humans, the other in rats) that examined the effects on metabolic health.

The human study found that using quinoa instead of typical gluten-free breads and pastas significantly reduced blood sugar, insulin and triglyceride levels.

The rat study found that adding quinoa to a diet high in fructose almost completely inhibited the negative effects of fructose.

9. Very high in antioxidants.


Quinoa also happens to be very high in antioxidants.

Antioxidants are substances that neutralize free radicals and are believed to help fight aging and many diseases.

One study looked at antioxidants in 10 foods: 5 cereals, 3 pseudocereals and 2 legumes.

Quinoa had the highest antioxidant content of all 10.

Allowing the seeds to sprout seems to increase the antioxidant content even further.

10. May help you lose weight.

In order to lose weight, we need to take in fewer calories than we burn.

It is known that certain properties of foods can facilitate this process, either by boosting metabolism (increasing calories out) or reducing appetite (lowering calories in).

Interestingly, quinoa has several such properties.

It is high in protein, which can both increase metabolism and reduce appetite significantly.

The high amount of fiber should also help to increase feelings of fullness, making you eat fewer calories overall.

The fact that quinoa has a low glycemic index is another important feature, but choosing such foods has been linked to reduced calorie intake.

Although there is currently no study that looks at the effects of quinoa on body weight, it seems intuitive that it could be a useful part of a healthy weight loss diet.

11. Easy to incorporate into the diet.


The last one is not a health benefit, but still incredibly important.

It is the fact that quinoa is very easy to incorporate into your diet.

It is also tasty and goes well with many foods.

Depending on the type of quinoa, it can be important to rinse it with water in order to get rid of saponins, which are found on the outer layer and can have a bitter flavor.

However, some brands have already been rinsed, so this may not be necessary.

You can buy quinoa in most health food stores and many supermarkets.

It can be ready to eat in as little as 15-20 minutes:

  • Put 2 cups of water in a pot, turn up the heat.
  • Add 1 cup of raw quinoa, with a dash of salt.
  • Boil for 15-20 minutes.
  • Eat.
It should now have absorbed most of the water and gotten a fluffy look. If done right, it should have a mild, nutty flavour and a satisfying crunch.

Then there are dozens of other delicious ways to use quinoa.

3 Important Terminology In Audio Files Required to Know

Everyone must know what audio file or what we call the music files, but not everyone knows about these technologies in depth. It looks trivial or unimportant to you to learn more. But the science is very useful for anyone who wants to make a recording of music or just simply to maximize the audio quality when you hear yourself.

Therefore, if would be a bit explores in depth understanding of the audio file where it also could optimize the audio quality when you hear the music later. This is the fifth important terms in the audio file which shall ye know.

1. Sample Rate



How does an audio device while recording? The device works by capturing the sound waves on a periodic basis or take from time to time it is called 'Snapshot'. Where each snapshot is called Sample and intervals are used every snapshot is called Sample Rate. The shorter the interval, the faster the frequency, if the frequency is faster then the audio quality will be more accurate.

2. Bitrate


Many people assume that the same bitrate with Sample Rate, but they have a fundamental berbedaan. Bitrate is the amount of voice data processed per second, and this is usually multiplied by Sample Rate with bit depth. For example, audio files with Sample Rate 44.1 kHz and 16-bit depth will have as much as 705.6 Kbps bitrate. So if the higher bit depth, the recording will also be well and good.

3. Stereo vs Mono



Many people still do not understand the difference between Stereo and Mono. In a nutshell is Mono means one channel, while Stereo means two channels. Two channels in Stereo can be called the 'Left' and 'Right'. So when you hear music with the stereo type of headphone you will hear two different sounds between Left and Right. But it would be very different if you listen to the file type Mono, you only hear the music were flat.

Stereo audio files of type also have more memory than files of type Mono. So if you are planning to reduce the audio file size significantly then changing into Mono Stereo music is the right step. But you bear your own risk, because your music will sound flat later.
