PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - Kalau udah kelas XII dan mikirin kuliah, para siswa SMA tuh kayak dipakaikan kaca mata kuda agar satu-satunya yang dituju adalah perguruan tinggi negeri. Gimana nggak, di sekolah ada baliho gede yang nampilin sejumlah alumni kebanggan yang bisa masuk PTN, saat lagi di kelas temen-temen cerita betapa kerennya kalau bisa pake jaket kuning UI, terus, pas pulang sekolah, dikasih brosur bimbel dengan segala jaminannya yang seolah-olah ngasih tahu “Yakin lo nggak mau masuk PTN? Senggaknya coba dulu lah.”
PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - Ada banyak alasan mengapa PTN segitu diminatinya. Tapi yang paling utama adalah karena mahasiswanya pasti dianggap spesial, karena mereka jadi orang terpilih dari sekian ratus ribu orang yang daftar tesnya. Ada kebanggaan tersendiri kalau bisa ngaku anak UI, ITB, atau Unpad. PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - Nggak ada salahnya sih punya ambisi besar untuk ngejar PTN. Tapi celakanya, banyak tuh pelajar yang terlalu terobsesi sama kuliah di PTN sampe-sampe melupakan esensi kuliah (baca: belajar) itu sendiri. Nggak sedikit juga yang pengen masuk PTN, untuk nebeng nama, biar keliatan keren gitu. “Jangan masuk PTN karena sekedar nebeng nama universitasnya dan milih PTN top karena biar ngerasa keren dan ngerasa bakal gampang diterima (kerja),” Kata Ina Liem, konsultan pendidikan pendiri Jurusanku.com, “Kalau yang dicari ilmu, itu nggak terbatas di perguruan tinggi swasta atau negeri.” Savage! Bener banget tuh kata bu Ina. Karena itu, lewat laporan utama bulan Mei ini, HAI mau ngebahas tentang piliihan-pilihan alternatif kuliah selain lewat jalur SBMPTN yang bakal diumumkan hasilnya 3 Juli mendatang. HAI pasti mengucapkan selamat untuk kalian yang lolos SBMPTN, tapi HAI juga nggak mau kalian yang gagal jadi hopeless. HAI bakal kasih sejumlah pilihan jalur lain yang bisa kamu pilih. Masih ada jalur mandiri, bahkan ada yang nggak mesti tes, lho, cukup ngasih nomor SBMPTN kita. HAI juga bakal menceritakan sejumlah keunggulan kampus swasta biar kamu nggak terus-terusan memandang sebelah mata. Tapi, dari semua alternatif yang ada, ada juga jalur-jalur gelap nan curang untuk masuk PTN yang jangan sampe kamu pilih. HAI bakal menceritakannya juga, tapi kamu mesti baca dengan kritis yah. Kamu mesti tahu biar dan syukur-syukur sih jadi turut punya semangat untuk memberantasnya kemudian. Kalau ibaratnya rencana kuliah adalah semesta ini dan pilihan jalurnya adalah para superheroes, maka jangan khawatir ketika Thanos menghancurkan salah satunya. Masih ada Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, dan Rocket yang bisa membantumu melanjutkan kuliah. Hehe Semangat, bro!

The driveway’s full of third-generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Ams, all black, all unusually clean, all with a telltale scanner illuminated in the front valance, the red lights sweeping back and forth. The scanner’s swishing sound calls up a hundred Friday evenings watching Michael Knight battle bad guys with his intelligent self-driving car. If you lived through the 1980s, you immediately know what you’re seeing. This is this house of KITT. PT KONTAK PERKASA - Colie’s been building “Knight Rider” replica parts and vehicles for 20 years, fabricating everything you need to turn a 1982-1992 Firebird into the Knight Industries Two Thousand. It’s too simple to say that’s the only thing his company, Advanced Designs in Automotive Technology, does. The one-bay shop off a country two-lane is a full restoration and prop production house, all helmed by one man; fiberglass, electronics, paint, and interior work fall under his domain. PT KONTAK PERKASA - It’s hard to pin down exactly where Colie got started. He mocked up his first KITT dash in high school for a project, assembling an instrument panel from 2-inch furring strips, bits of wood paneling, and poster board. After graduation, he bought a 1982 Firebird Trans Am of his own and set about building the real thing, or as close as he could come. “The very first dash I built was kind of my interpretation,” he said. “I was pulling everything off of a VCR, freeze-framing it. I located what type of LED they used, got the measurements for it, and then multiplied that so I’d know how long each bar graph was. Then I would take that measurement of a single LED and see how many I could fit between the rows so I would know how to space them. That gave me a general description of how big to make the overall display board.” Years later, Colie met a friend who was close with original KITT designer Michael Scheffe, who generously lent him a set of schematics. Scheffe was the mind behind a number of famous vehicles from TV and film, including Doc Brown’s time-traveling DeLorean from the “Back to the Future” saga. “I took the one-sixteenth plastic Ertl model and measured everything out in millimeters, then I scaled it up 1:1 and sculpted it on a car.” Colie spent his early 20s working first in sales then in production at a prosthetics company, all the while modifying his own car. It wasn’t until he made his first bumper that he realized he might be able to make a full-time go of building “Knight Rider” replica parts. “I took the one-sixteenth plastic Ertl model and measured everything out in millimeters,” he said. “Then I scaled it up 1:1 and sculpted it on a car.”
He says this was the first truly accurate, show-quality reproduction bumper. Although there were other pieces floating around, some of which had been made from original molds, they were rough. These were props designed to look great whipping through an action shot, not sitting at a car show. This was in the late ’90s, years after the last “Knight Rider” episode and in the early days of the internet. When Colie began sharing photos of his car on a replica enthusiast website, he received a flood of requests asking him to build individual pieces. A business was born. Now 48, Colie has perfected his craft. He does everything in-house, forming fiberglass bumpers, dashes, consoles, and switch pods for both the first version of the car and the final version used in season four. He also builds KITT’s unique steering wheel from scratch using a two-part urethane foam. Like all great fandom, the “Knight Rider” universe has its own language. Early cars are “Two-TV” models, so named for the two screens mounted in the dash. They also feature six foglights mounted in the lower valance. Later cars use four foglights and only have one screen in the dash. They are predictably referred to as “One-TVs,” which Colie favors for the cleaner design.

But you’re also likely giving in to your sweet tooth several times a day — and possibly eating even more sugar than you realize. KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - The usual suspects — sugar in your morning coffee, soda in the afternoon, ice cream after dinner — can add up to a hefty helping of non-nutritious calories. But “hidden” sugar also lurks in less obvious foods, including bread, salty snacks, yogurt, salad dressing, and energy bars, which means many of us are eating and drinking a potentially harmful amount of added sugar. KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - In fact, Americans consume an average 17 teaspoons of added sugar daily, which is a whopping 71 grams and 270 calories, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Consider this: With a 12-ounce can of Coke containing 39 grams of sugar and 140 calories, it’s easy to see why our average sugar intake is nearly three times more than the 6 teaspoons (25 grams) recommended for women and about double the 9 teaspoons (37.5 grams) recommended for men by the American Heart Association. What’s more, research is shedding light on how sugar affects the brain in ways that mimic the mechanisms of addiction to cocaine and other substances, as found in a review of research published in Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic Care in 2013. In another study, published in the Journal of Addiction Medicine in 2009, neuroscientists used brain imaging to show that eating sugar triggers the release of dopamine — a feel-good chemical — in the pleasure center of the brain, and that stimulation leaves the person wanting more. In other words, because of the way the brain is hardwired, eating sweets makes you want to eat more sweets, making it hard to stop after just one taste of ice cream or bite of chocolate. Overindulging has other consequences: Diets high in added sugar have long been linked to weight gain and a higher risk of such chronic conditions as obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, and heart disease. And a 2017 study published in Clinical Science concluded that only three months on a high-sugar diet alters the body’s fat metabolism in a way that may raise the risk of cardiovascular disease in otherwise healthy people. The good news? With a few simple changes, you can circumvent the sugar loop and take control of your cravings. Whether you’re trying to ditch sugar completely or just control your cravings and cut back, here are tips to help you get started. 1. Eat whole foods that contain natural sugars.Chemically, sugar is the same whether it’s found in a carrot, an apple, or a candy bar. But fruits and vegetables are also full of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and these other nutrients slow down digestion and the flow of sugar into the bloodstream, which moderates the release of dopamine into the brain. So-called “added sugar” is where you should focus on cutting back. Try a piece of fruit rather than drinking a soda to get through an afternoon slump. Buy plain yogurt and add fresh berries instead of flavored yogurt packed with sugar or syrup. And a handful of almonds, walnuts, and pecans are a better on-the-go choice than an energy bar. 2. Try a clinically proven lozenge. Establishing a new habit takes time, and it can be tempting to backslide in the beginning. Until healthy is your new normal, a simple lozenge can help you stay on track.
Sweet Defeat, a plant-based lozenge, is clinically proven to stop sugar cravings and reduce sugar consumption. Made with gymnema leaf extract, zinc, sorbitol, and mint, Sweet Defeat works by binding to the sweet-taste receptors in your taste buds to suppress sweet taste, reducing your sugar cravings for up to an hour. To help reset your cravings, use one Sweet Defeat lozenge after dinner — or whenever a sugar craving hits. If portion control is your goal, take Sweet Defeat after one serving of sugary food to keep you from going for seconds.

Practice portion control.After-dinner cravings are mostly a matter of habit. You’re not actually hungry (you just ate!), but your usual routine calls for something sweet to end the meal. That whole pint of ice cream is especially tempting, as is that tin full of homemade chocolate chip cookies. To shake up your routine, measure out one serving size of your favorite sweet — a thin slice of cake, one scoop of ice cream, or a small cookie — before dinner, and store it in a glass or plastic container. Stash the rest in the back of the cabinet, refrigerator, or freezer so it’s more difficult to go back for seconds. And for an afternoon sweet tooth, buy individually wrapped chocolate squares to keep in your desk drawer. Bring one to the office every day for the end of lunch, and leave the bag at home. 4. Indulge with dessert, not a sugary snack. Eating sweets as a between-meal snack quickly spikes your blood sugar and your brain’s sugar-craving response. With no other nutrients as a buffer, you’re more likely to binge on the sweet stuff. If a completely sugarless life isn’t for you, save the sugar for dessert. When eaten after a meal of lean protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats, dessert won’t have quite the impact on your blood sugar, and you’re more likely to feel satisfied by a small bite of something sweet. 5. Eat foods high in minerals.Sugar cravings can be caused by a mineral deficiency, particularly a need for magnesium, chromium, and zinc. Magnesium — needed by the body for numerous functions, including regulating blood pressure and blood sugar, strengthening bones, and maintaining a healthy heart — is found in dark leafy greens, avocado, brown rice, quinoa, nuts, seeds, and raw cacao. Foods high in chromium, which regulates blood sugar and cholesterol levels, include broccoli, sweet potatoes, apples, whole grains, and pastured eggs. And good sources of zinc, needed for insulin and glucose utilization, are oysters, whole grains, pastured eggs, pumpkin seeds, and Brazil nuts. 6. Walk it off.The next time you feel the urge to track down some chocolate or hit the vending machine for something sweet, take a walk instead. A 15-minute walk of moderate intensity proved to reduce cravings for high-calorie sugary snacks, even in times of stress, in a 2015 study published in PLoS One. Besides, the change of scenery will do you good — just be sure to stay off the block with the bakery. 7. Take it slow.As you start to make changes to keep your sweet tooth under control, don’t try to cut out all sugary foods at once. Going cold turkey can backfire and cause even more intense cravings for something sweet. Pace yourself: Focus on eating healthy, filling foods for meals and snacks, and plan to eat one serving of a high-quality dessert when you do want to indulge. Source : everydayhealth.com |
