KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - Gone are the brutal days of winter and the unpredictable days of spring. Summer running is where it's at. The long days and hot weather mean fewer layers and happier runners. So grab your shoes and hit your favorite road, route, or trail. It's time to get sweaty! (And it won't take very long!) Here are 10 reasons to love working up a sweat on the run this summer.
1. It's light out when you wake up. KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - See ya later, dark o'clock morning runs! Now, when that too-early alarm sounds, the sun is actually waking up, too. Not having to run in the dark makes getting out of bed a whole lot easier. 2. And it's light out for the night runners, too.Have no fear, the sun's still here! Forget the days of leaving work and entering a world of darkness. Now, you can leave the office, go home and change, and get your run in—all while it's still light out. 3. 'Tis the season for sports bra runs.Too hot to wear a shirt? Ditch it! There are few things as freeing, empowering, and, well, comfortable as going for a jog sporting just a pair of shorts and a sports bra. (Try it. We dare you.) 4. Let's be honest: forearm sweat is pretty badass.Everyone gets that mid-run upper lip sweat and chest sweat. But you know it's really toasty when your forearms start to show droplets of sweat. Embrace it. 5. You get branded as a runner with those tan lines.Yes, the racer-back tan lines are inconvenient if you're a bridesmaid this summer and will be donning a strapless dress. But otherwise, those terrible tan lines you inevitably get from long summer runs—the sports bra tan, the shorts tan, the sock tan—have you branded for life. Or at least a few months until they fade or you can take a tropical vacation to even them out. (But still, always wear sunscreen!) 6. That post-run watermelon never tasted so good. Gone are the days of craving a giant stack of pancakes or a big mug of hot chocolate after a run. Instead, we're reaching for all the watermelon we can find. It's sweet, it's refreshing, and it's super hydrating. We can't get enough. 7. And that post-run shower never felt so refreshing.Cold showers after hot runs. Bonus points if you keep an ice-cold glass of water within arms reach. (A post-run jump in the pool works equally well.) 8. All the local water fountains are on.Remember when your local parks department turned the fountains off during the winter? They're all up and running now. Happy hydrating! 9. You can practically feel yourself getting stronger.Fall PRs are made in the summer, right? For every hot, humid, OMG-I-want-to-die run you tackle this summer is another minute you'll shave off your personal record once the temperatures drop in a few months. (OK, we made that statistic up, but it's probably true.) Getting out the door and slogging through steamy miles now will make you appreciate those brisk fall runs even more. 10. The eye candy is infinitely better.Shallow? Sure. Superficial? Totally. But we're only human, and we'd be lying if we didn't admit to enjoying the runner watching in the summer months. Shirtless marathoners-in-training? Don't mind if we do... Summer running FTW, right? Right. Source : fitnessmagazine.com

Source : health.com PT KONTAK PERKASA - Intel on Monday introduced its next-generation Pentium Silver and Celeron platform and processors. These processors are under the codename 'Gemini Lake' and are focused on low-power platforms for inexpensive desktops and mobile computers. PT KONTAK PERKASA - The new Gemini Like SoCs feature improved CPU cores over the previous generation, an enhanced media decoding/encoding engine, and a new display pipeline. Intel promises to offer higher performance than predecessors while consuming about 6 W or 10 W, depending on the application. The higher-end Gemini Lake SKUs will be sold under the Pentium Silver brand, whereas the entry-level models will carry the Celeron name. The Platform Gemini Lake is Intel’s third-generation low-power SoC made using the company’s 14 nm manufacturing technology. On a high level, the Gemini Lake is an evolution of the Apollo Lake launched last year, but under the hood, there is a number of differences that seem important. The relative maturity of fabrication process would be expected to allow Intel to increase transistor budget of the new chip without decreasing yields, thus enabling higher performance and a potentially an improved feature set. Intel’s Gemini Lake SoC is based on up to four Goldmont Plus x86 cores that feature a three-wide issue architecture and supports:
The GLM+ cores inside Gemini Lake SoCs are accompanied by 4 MB of L2 cache, which we believe is a last level unified cache (Intel doesn't actually confirm this), but is double from the Apollo Lake design. The enlarged cache can positively affect performance in various applications - as a rule of thumb doubling a cache cuts the miss rate by the square root of 2 (41%) at the expense of latency and power, but we don’t expect dramatic increases in performance compared to Apollo Lake across the board. The new SoCs operate at about the same frequencies as their predecessors. Intel says that the new Pentium Silver N5000/J5005 processors are 58-68% faster than the Pentium N3540/J2900 chips (Bay Trail platform featuring the Silvermont architecture, three generations old) in SYSMark 2014 SE. The improvement looks significant, especially keeping in mind rather high clocks of the Bayview SoCs, but is not completely surprising. The older Silvermont cores features a two-wide issue architecture, were equipped with smaller caches and featured a single-channel (64-bit) DDR3 memory controller - the new Gemini Lake platform is also more energy efficient than the Bay Trail platform introduced nearly four years ago because of architectural innovations and a thinner process technology. We yet have to test the new Gemini Lake-based products ourselves to find out real-world performance benefits brought by the enlarged cache, but at this time we have to report what Intel gives us.
Video and MemoryWhen it comes to graphics, the Gemini Lake uses the same iGPU as Apollo Lake but with updated features: the Gen9LP core with up to 18 EUs running at 250 – 800 MHz frequency and supporting the Direct3D Feature Level 12_1 feature set. Meanwhile, the is iGPU is outfitted with the new-generation media engine found in the Kaby Lake processors that features hardware encoding/decoding of 4K HEVC and VP9 (8-bit and 10-bit) video. It is equipped with Intel’s Gen10 display controller supporting native HDMI 2.0 output as well as the Local Adaptive Contrast Enhancement (LACE) designed to improve visibility in glare and bright light. So, while graphics performance of Gemini Lake’s iGPU is not higher when compared to the direct predecessor, the revamped media engine, LACE support and the new display pipeline allow Intel to brand it as the UHD Graphics 600-series. As for memory sub-system, the Gemini Lake SoCs have a 128-bit memory controller that supports DDR4 and LPDDR3/4 at up to 2400 MT/s, but no longer supports DDR3L, which is an outgoing standard anyway. We are not sure that all designs will use all the memory channels, but at least it is possible to outfit a Gemini Lake SoC with a memory sub-system offering up to 38.4 GB/s of bandwidth. Furthermore, DDR4 memory support will enable OEMs to build cheaper systems based on the Gemini Lake because DDR3L (as well as LPDDR3/4) are currently more expensive than commodity DRAM. Storage and ConnectivityMoving on to storage and connectivity. Gemini Lake supports two conventional SATA HDDs and SSDs, PCIe 2.0 x2/x4 SSDs, as well as eMMC 5.1 storage solutions. As for I/O interfaces, the new SoCs feature USB 3.0/2.0, USB Type-C, SPI, SDXC and other modern buses. The most import important I/O-related addition to the Gemini Lake (when compared to the Apollo Lake) is the CNVi (Connectivity Integration Architecture) MAC blocks for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and baseband modem. The addition of the CNVi is rather important because it enables Intel’s partners among OEMs to throw in a relatively inexpensive RF module that brings support for necessary wireless connectivity standards instead of buying a more expensive adapter. Since the Gemini Lake SoCs cost exactly the same amounts of money as their predecessors, the CNVi architecture enables PC makers to cut down BOM costs for at least some of their SKUs (at least, according to Intel). Unfortunately, since Intel does not disclose pricing of its CNVi RF modules and Wi-F + BT models, we do not know how significant those BOM savings might be. For Gemini Lake-based devices Intel proposes to use the Wireless-AC 9560 product that supports 802.11ac wave2 Wi-Fi with 160 MHz channels along with Bluetooth 5.0. The Wireless-AC 9560 supports up to up to 1.73 Gbps downlink with MU-MIMO, which is why Intel is advertising Gigabit Wi-Fi in connection with the Gemini Lake. Keep in mind that not all systems based on the Gemini Lake will use the Wireless-AC 9560 since PCIe Wi-Fi controllers are perfectly supported by the new SoCs and if an OEM has a boatload of previous-gen Wi-Fi chips, it is going to use it for their upcoming PCs. The Family The Gemini Lake family consists of six SKUs: two Pentium Silver models and four Celeron SoCs. The Pentium Silver chips cost $161 in 1000-unit quantities, they have higher clocks as well as all four cores enabled. The new Celerons cost $107 in commercial quantities, feature lower frequencies as well as four or two cores, depending on the model. TDP levels of Intel’s Gemini Lake SoCs remain at 10W and 6 W, respectively. Meanwhile the SDP of the mobile-class SKUs will increase to 4.8 W (from 4 W), which is important for thinner designs. Speaking of designs, it is noteworthy that the Gemini Lake SoCs use a new flip-chip packaging (FCBGA1090) and therefore are not pin-to-pin compatible with the predecessors. The new SoC form-factor will require OEMs to make new PCBs for their Gemini Lake-based systems, and because they are a bit smaller it could save space for battery.

After his successful introduction in Justice League that left the majority of the fandom clamoring for a solo movie, it seems like Warner Bros. is quietly moving forward with his first standalone outing despite the lack of official update about it since its announcement back in the summer.
KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - While we’re not yet sure how Warner Bros. plans to spin the Flashpoint film, readers of the comics know how pivotal it is not just to Barry Allen’s personal story arc, but on the whole franchise. In it, Barry attempts to travel back in time to save his mother from being murdered. Unbeknown to him, his actions have a massive effect on the existing DC mythos. This includes having an ongoing war between Aquaman and Wonder Woman, as well as the existence of a far more violent version of Batman with Thomas Wayne donning the cowl. If persistent rumors of Ben Affleck wanting out of his current superhero gig turn out to be true, Flashpoint is a great way to do it, especially with Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who played the Wayne patriarch in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, seemingly eager to pick-up the role. Chelsea will be without Alvaro Morata for the trip to Huddersfield on Tuesday PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - Antonio Conte has revealed Alvaro Morata will miss Chelsea's Premier League match against Huddersfield on Tuesday due to a combination of a back injury and tiredness. PT KONTAK PERKASA FUTURES - The forward, who has scored 10 goals since his summer move from Real Madrid, played the full 90 minutes on Saturday as Chelsea slipped to a 1-0 defeat at London rivals West Ham. Morata missed two-and-a-half weeks with a hamstring injury earlier in the season and Conte will once again be without the Spain international for the trip to the John Smith's Stadium. The Chelsea boss said: "Morata is out. He is a bit tired and he has a problem in his back. "I think when you play every three days, it is impossible to have a training session and to work on the physical aspects. It's impossible. It's impossible because you have to prepare with the players for a game every three days. "I think we have to face the reality and will try to do our best. If I stay here to complain it is not the right way. We have to try to do our best. "For sure it is difficult because to face a game every three days is not simple, especially if your squad is not big, but at the same time, we have to face this situation. "Some players can be tired, that's normal because some players are playing from this summer and our tours in China and Singapore. "But I repeat we have to find the best solution. We have to find more rotations. I'm doing this, we will try and do our best with hunger and desire. We will fight." Conte also confirmed he will still be without defender David Luiz as he continues his recovery from a knee injury. Midfielder Danny Drinkwater did train on Monday following a fever and was included in the travelling squad for the match in west Yorkshire. David Luiz will also miss the match at the John Smith's Stadium Conte added: "We are facing a team in a good moment of form. In the last game they played a great game against Brighton.
"I don't know which way they have prepared for the game against us. At the same time, we have to try to play our football. We must pay great attention to the counter-attack because they have fast players. "They are in a good moment of form and we must be very good to be more clinical in this game, because in the recent period we weren't clinical."

Mauro spilled his sandwich dos and don'ts to us, along with his thoughts on fatherhood, cooking for kids, and the perfect sandwich bread. Keep reading to learn his best advice.
PT KONTAK PERKASA POPSUGAR: What's the ultimate breakfast sandwich? Jeff Mauro: Perfectly griddled sausage patty, everything bagel, veggie cream cheese, and pickled jalapeños, of course. PS: What's the worst thing anyone could put on a sandwich? JM: Mealy tomatoes. PS: What's the best sandwich bread ever? JM: The answer is NONE. Each sandwich has at least one appropriate bread to act as the vehicle. PS: Does your son eat what you cook? How do you get him to eat vegetables? JM: Kind of. He always eats the protein we make, and starch (usually sweet potatoes) and veggies. He's still not eating salads or asparagus, but we've always fed him well-seasoned and well-balanced food. I guess the trick is, and mind you, I only have one kid, to really not give [kids] a choice. They have to at least taste everything you make. PS: What's your ultimate Father's Day meal? JM: My ideal Father's Day meal is a big grilled beef tenderloin. Pair that with tons of mushrooms, something cheesy, and lots of Mark West wine. PS: What's the most fun thing about being a chef who is a dad? JM: Taking pride in the fact that my boy knows and respects good food and where it comes from and what it takes to make it. Now with my restaurant Pork & Mindy's in Chicago, he can come hang out with me on the weekends and see food from that end of the business. Plus, I'm proud that my boy can crack an egg like a champ.
