Could it be the Godfather II of bromance action-comedy
sequels? 22 Jump Street is the outrageous and very immature follow-up to 21
Jump Street, proving that the next in the franchise series doesn't need to be
awful. This it does by breaking out the gags, the stunts and the cheekily
self-aware riffs like there's absolutely no tomorrow. Phil Lord and Christopher
Miller (from The Lego Movie) direct, and the screenplay is by Michael Bacall,
Oren Uziel and Rodney Rothman, from a story devised by Bacall and Jonah Hill.
It certainly provides that rarest of things: relaxing
enjoyment. In all its uncompromising goofiness, 22 Jump Street brings onstream
a sugar-rush of entertainment. Reviewers' noses too often wrinkle up at
comedies – unless, of course, burdened with darkness or surrealism – while
horror and superhero pictures, no matter how moderate, are greeted with cowed
respect.
Here, on the other hand, is a movie that made me feel guilty for
laughing quite so much. There is sometimes something inspired in its screwball
craziness. It features a line about Cate Blanchett which pretty much justifies
the price of admission on its own.
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are back as the appalling
Schmidt and Jenko, two grown men in their late 20s who are police officers
co-opted into a top-secret undercover division, posing as teenagers in high
school to root out drug dealers.
The first movie was based on the 1980s TV show
with Johnny Depp, where the premise was taken reasonably straight; in the film
it is played for laughs and kidulthood satire. Now Schmidt and Jenko return,
and the idea is that they have graduated to college. They must go in deep,
posing as undergrads to … to root out drug dealers. Their superior officer,
Deputy Chief Hardy (Nick Offerman) announces this weirdly similar assignment in
the manner of a jaded Hollywood executive who is hardly able to believe that
the first story has spawned a new one.
And when Schmidt and Jenko report for duty at another disguised disused church, across the road from the old one, their commander is once again Captain Dickson, played by Ice Cube, who is just as scornful of his team, but thrilled at the fact that their HQ is now kitted out with all sorts of pointlessly flashy furnishings.
Schmidt and Jenko duly show up at college, and naturally find that they really do discover themselves there. Superjock Jenko, with his cubic head and permanently hungover face, finds fulfilment such as he has never known on the football team, and his course on sexuality is moreover very rewarding. He bonds with fellow player Zook (Wyatt Russell), while Schmidt is deeply hurt at his buddy's new "bros before lesser bros" policy and what appears to be the end of their friendship. Meanwhile, Schmidt goes to excruciating poetry slams and finds a tender new relationship with sensitive arts major Maya (Amber Stevens), a liaison that is to lead to all sorts of problems at work.
Finally, Jenko suggests to Schmidt that they "should
investigate other people. Sow our cop oats." And all the time the
youngsters wonder at the crinkly lines around our heroes' eyes and how old they
look. Hill and Tatum have a great double-act going; I'm tempted to invoke the
memory of Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, only both are interestingly subdued, and
Tatum is no straight man; he has a gift for comedy.
Below is a video which is a must see in the movie (I laughed
way hard at this f***king scene)
And since I've mentioned it, here are some hilarious vid due
to that ONE LINE (if you can guess, you are one true Jump Street fans)
The two leads have what can only be described as a thwarted
heteroerotic relationship, challenged by the quasi-grownup demands of college.
Schmidt's love life brings him into conflict with Maya's roommate Mercedes,
played by SNL writer Jillian Bell, who absolutely steals every scene –
dead-eyed and contemptuous at all times. She is brilliant in a later sequence
featuring a fist-fight with an awkwardly sexual undertow, an example of what
the script calls "Mr-and-Mrs-Smith-ing".
There is a great deal of supremely watchable and funny
silliness in Schmidt and Jenko's new life together in their college dorm room,
especially when they have to bond with the twins who live in the room over the
hall, Keith and Kenny, played by the Lucas Brothers, whose synchronised way of
speaking is winningly strange.
As for the prospect of more Jump Streets, the idea is
comprehensively trashed at the beginning and end of the film in some very sharp
self-reflexive satire, which uses up loads of perfectly serviceable ideas and
generally burns its franchise boats. They don't want to wind up like some sort
of two-man Police Academy. Fair enough. It was very funny while it lasted.
22 Jump Street is damn funny, sometimes outrageously so. It
laughs at its own dumb logic and invites us in on the fun.
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
Channing Tatum and
Jonah Hill make the ride once again worthwhile - whether covering the same type
of material or breaking into new territory.
Kofi Outlaw·Screen Rant
Cinematic offal that's incredibly inane, tedious
and foul; a dimwitted waste of time and mocker of morality that makes Dumb and
Dumber look like a product of high art.
Bob Hoose·Plugged In
That will be all folks... have fun watching this movie
Jalan is what you call a street or road in Malaysia.
You can also say jalan jalan, which is a verb, meaning “to
stroll” or “to hang out and have a nice time,” and is what my mom says to my
dad when she takes his arm and wants to amble around on a nice, clear night.
In Penang, Malaysia, the jalans seem to be paved with food.
This both makes sense and doesn’t: The temperature hovers at a haunting 80-plus
degrees year round, meaning it’s too hot to eat inside though it is also,
actually, too hot to eat outside. There are cooks everywhere, standing over hot
woks and huge broth pots, barking an unfamiliar Chinese dialect (it’s Hokkien)
while dispatching plate after same-looking plate as though they’ve been doing
it forever—and many of them have.
All food is fast food in Penang: If you’re ordering to go,
drinks come in plastic bags outfitted with a piece of raffia to hang from the
handlebars of your scooter; rice comes in banana leaves or newspaper packets.
Noodles are bagged and soups are too. If you’re eating “in,” you’re still
eating outside or half outside, and you’re expected to eat fast, then go on to
eat the next thing — fast. Colorful melamine plates and bowls and chopsticks
get washed in huge buckets, and dirty dishwater spills into the streets.
The only rule: Do not fret about where to find “the best.”
Street food in Malaysia — and especially in Penang — can be
overwhelming: the abundance, the no-nonsense-ness, the speed. There are hawker
stalls on small streets, on big streets, hawker centers outside and inside of
coffee shops. One comforting fact: the same foods repeat themselves everywhere,
reliably. Wherever you are in Penang, you can usually find the entirety of
Malaysian street food on offer. The scenarios in which you’ll encounter these
foods repeat themselves, too. Once you stop fretting about where you’ll find
the best, you’ll begin to see the patterns emerging from the
shrimp-paste-covered chaos, and the cornucopian abundance becomes a very
enjoyable problem to tackle.
After being named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2008,
George Town, in northeast Penang Island, now attracts leggy blonde tourists
from Australia and New Zealand who’ll be out late at night, drunk al fresco.
This does not change the fact that the city is a bunch of falling-apart
low-rise buildings that date back to British colonization. The stores always
appear to be closed, and the place would be a ghost town if it weren’t for the
liveliness of the streets and food carts, which are everywhere.
1. Assam Laksa (Rice Noodles in Fishy Soup)
This is assam laksa from a stall on Weld Quay, a busy
waterfront street in George Town. It is my favorite food in the whole world:
rice noodles in a fishy soup soured with tamarind. The pink things are ginger
flowers; the green things are bird’s-eye chilies and cucumber matchsticks. At
this particular stall, you’re seated just a few feet from traffic;
motorcyclists will ride right up and order their laksa to go.
2. Rojak
(Fruit and Vegetable Salad)
Here’s rojak: a plate of cut-up fruit and other miscellany
(sometimes squid! sometimes little fried pieces of dough!) with a bunch of
brown-black savory-sweet sauce dumped all over it. This sauce is a mystery to
me; all I know is that it has shrimp paste in it. If shrimp paste on top of
fruit sounds insane to you, it does to me, too. Here’s the thing, though: IT IS
TREMENDOUSLY DELICIOUS.
3. Roti
Canai (Flatbread)
The line between restaurant and street food gets fuzzy here.
The roti canai stand on Jalan Transfer is as street as street food gets, but
there’s also a row of stools and vinyl-tableclothed tables in case you’d like
to dine in. An assembly line of guys with fun eighties-era hairdos form the
roti canai, a flat, flaky bread that’s most often eaten dipped into curry for
breakfast. One guy is twisting and slapping and layering the dough with ghee;
others cook the bread on a wok. A couple guys are tending to the truly massive
drums of curry. Add a little glass mug of hot Nescafé — stir to incorporate the
centimeter or so of condensed milk that’s hanging out at the bottom— for a
complete Penang breakfast.
4. Chendul/Cendol
(Cold Dessert Soup)
You can find chendul/cendol, a sort of cold dessert soup, on
Penang Road, a tiny road just large enough for a single car to drive slowly
through. Chendul refers to the green Jello-ish squiggles, made from mung-bean
flour and stained green with pandan, the leaves of a tropical plant that taste
sort of like vanilla. The squiggles, along with red beans, float in a soup of
santan, coconut milk, and palm sugar. The soup is ladled over a big lump of
ice, and condensed milk goes all over that. It’s served with a spoon but the
spoon is unnecessary.
5. Apom
Balik (Stuffed Pancake)
Apom balik is a sticky rice-flour pancake with creamed
corn(!) inside. This vendor at Tan Jetty spoons corn straight from the can into
the cooking batter—eggy and fluffy—then deftly extricates the whole thing and
folds it over like a loose taco, a shape that makes it possible to get both
crispy edge and sticky interior in a single bite.
6. Batu
Maung Satay (Grilled Meat on Skewers)
At night, little lanes like Lorong Baru are dense with
hawker stalls. Here, Batu Maung satay — marinated pieces of chicken, pork, or
beef on bamboo skewers — are grilled, and served with cucumber chunks and raw
white onion for spearing according to your preference. Not included: the goopy
peanut sauce that comes on the side of every order of satay in America, because
the meat’s already been sauced.
7. Koay
Chiap (Duck and Noodle Soup)
Kimberly Street is sleepy in the daytime but, like the
nocturnal stink badger of western Malaysia, active at night. The most bustle
surrounds two dudes in backward hats and aprons at a stand dishing out koay
chiap, an offal-y dark soup of duck meat shreds, gizzards, coagulated blood, a
soy-sauce-boiled egg, and curled-up scrolls of rice noodles. Chinese celery
bits imbue a nice herbiness.
8. Chee
Cheong Fun (Rice-Noodle Rolls)
This is chee cheong fun, which is similar to the rice-noodle
rolls you get stateside at dim sum restaurants, but not quite the same. In
Penang, it comes with a little bit of chili sauce and a black, sweet, shrimpy
sauce that’s gluey with maltose.
9. Lok
Lok (Hot Pot)
Padang Brown is one of Penang’s older hawker centers; around
since the sixties, it comprises two very long rows of stalls, shaped like a
laurel of wheat. It’s outdoors, but the stalls and many, many tables are
covered; unlike street vendors, these sellers have permanent spots rather than
roll-away carts. In the middle of Padang Brown, between the opposing curved
rows, there’s a playground and a memorial to David Brown, a Scotsman and Penang
landowner and namesake of the place.
Here you can get lok lok, which means “dip dip.” There’s a
boiling hot pot in the center of your table that you lower sticks of stuff
(vegetables, tofu, seafood) into; the stick colors indicate price, and at the
end of the meal your sticks are tallied and you’re charged accordingly.
10. Ice
Kacang (Corn-Bean Frozen Dessert)
New World Park is a newish hawker center off Swatow Lane.
Because there’s too much traffic for tiny Penang, the government is taking
Singapore’s lead and trying to move vendors to covered hawker centers. A lot of
the hawkers who used to sell outside on Swatow Lane were moved to New World
Park. The center resembles a mall food court: stations with clean chopsticks, a
place to stack your trays, and standardized signage that tells you, plainly,
who’s selling what.
Lee Eng Lai is sixty-three and sells ice kacang here. His
family has sold ice kacang on Swatow Lane since 1923; they relocated to New
World Park when it opened in 2008. The recipe is the same as it always was, but
now they have an electric ice-shaving machine. Ice kacang is kind of like a
banana split, but in place of bananas there’s corn, kidney beans, and
mysterious translucent toothsome jellies. And instead of ice cream there’s
shaved ice, topped with a pink syrup that just tastes pink, not in a
synesthetic way, but like you’d imagine — like bubble gum. And there’s also, of
course, condensed milk all over everything. If you want to gild the kacang, you
can add a scoop of ice cream on top of all that.
That is all folks...

After all those meals and then you know you broke af....
You don't even need to tell us what happened when you told
your friends that you want to buy a gaming laptop. Their inner elitist got the
best of them, and bashed you for not just building an outright gaming desktop.
But we get you. Building a gaming PC takes knowledge and dexterity that you
just don't have or care to develop.
That's where the gaming laptop shines, as a fast lane to PC
gaming. No need to build a case or even buy a monitor. Of course, that
convenience usually comes with a hefty price tag. Most vendors start their
asking prices at around $1,400 (about £901, AU$1,894) for 13 and 14-inch
products, whereas the biggest and beefiest 17 and 18-inch models can skyrocket
upwards of $3,000 (around £1,931, AU$4,059).
If you're ready to accept that a gaming laptop will almost
never be as affordable or offer the same level of performance as a
comparably-priced gaming desktop, then your decision is already made. But
again, the gaming notebook is a device of convenience and portability over raw
power. Without further ado, here are our favorite gaming laptops that we've
reviewed thus far.
1. Origin EON15-X
A desktop-grade CPU in an unbeatable gaming laptop
CPU: 4GHz Intel Core i7-4790K | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX
980M (8GB GDDR5 RAM), Intel HD Graphics 4600 | RAM: 8GB | Screen: 15.6-inch,
1920 x 1080 LED Backlit Matte Display | Storage: 240GB SSD; 1TB HDD (5,400 rpm)
|Connectivity: Intel PRO Wireless AC 7265 + Bluetooth Wireless LAN Combo
|Camera: 2MP Video Camera | Weight: 7.5 pounds | Dimensions: 15.2 x 10.31 x
1.40 inches (W x D x H)
-Great value
-Desktop-grade
performance
-Razor thin viewing
angles
Origin EON15-X is a real head turner. It packs a desktop
processor into a fairly compact 15.6-inch laptop that, while smaller, offers
even more performance compared to other, bigger hardcore gaming rigs. This
extra CPU power is handy for users who need to edit video and other processor
intensive tasks that a mobile chip can't handle. You'll also get an extra kick
of performance in no matter what game you're running. This machine is
definitely worth consideration over all others – that said, Origin has arguably
made the most powerful portable gaming desktop by outfitting its EON17-SLX with
a desktop Skylake processor and Nvidia GTX 980.
2. Aorus X3 Plus v3
A slim and light gaming machine
CPU: 2.5GHz Intel Core i7-4710HQ Processor | Graphics: Nvidia
GeForce GTX 970M GDDR5 6GB | RAM: 16GB | Screen: 14-inch QHD+ 3200 x 1800 Wide

12.9 x 10.3 x 0.9 inches
-Highly portable
-Blazing performance
-Trackpad is a weak
link
-4K screen makes text
tricky to read
High-res gaming machines are a tough nut to crack whether
you have a baller PC tower and even more so with portable laptops. So it comes
as a pleasant surprise to see the Gigabyte build out the Aorus X3 Plus v3 as a
machine that can fly even with a 4K screen in tow. This 14-inch gaming laptop
can pull off this feat largely thanks to its beefy video card and dual SSDs.
The Aorus X3 handles the latest graphics-heavy games such as Elite Dangerous
with ease at 60 fps even in the most frantic space combat.
3. MSI GT80 Titan
An outrageously sized and powerful gaming laptop
CPU: 2.6GHz Intel Core i7-4720HQ | Graphics: 2 x Nvidia GTX
980M SLI (16 GB GDDR5); Intel HD Graphics 4600 | RAM: 16GB | Screen: 18.4-inch
WLED FHD (1920 x 1080) Anti-Glare Display | Storage: 256GB SSD; 1TB HDD (7,200
RPM) |Optical drive Blu-Ray Burner | Connectivity: Killer DoubleShot Pro 11ac +
Bluetooth 4.1 | Camera: Full HD type (30 fps, 1080p) | Weight: 9.9 pounds
|Dimensions: 17.95 x 13.02 x 1.93 inches
-Authentic mechanical keyboard
-Easily upgraded
-H-E-A-V-Y
-Impossible to use on
your lap
The MSI GT80 Titan goes above and beyond to give gamers a
desktop experience in a notebook with a complement of high-performance parts to
a built-in mechanical keyboard. However, weighing in at nearly 10 pounds and
measuring roughly two-inches thick, this laptop is seriously pushing the limits
of what you can call portable. For all the strain it'll put on your back and
wallet, though, this 18.4-inch gaming laptop absolutely plow through almost any
graphically intense game you try to run. This gaming behemoth proved to be a
monster with the best in class mobile GPUs so we can't even fathom what it
could do with a Nvidia GTX 980.
4. Gigabyte P55K v4
An excellent gaming laptop for budget-conscious players
CPU: 2.7GHz Intel Core i7-5700HQ | Graphics:Nvidia Geforce
GTX 965M; Intel HD Graphics 5600 | RAM: 8GB | Screen: 15.6-inch full HD 1,920 x
1,080 LCD |Storage: 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD | Connectivity: 802.11ac Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth 4.0 |Camera: HD webcam | Weight: 5.51 pounds | Dimensions: 14.96 x
10.59 x 1.34-inches
-Speedy performance
-Great virtual
surround
-Large screen bezels
-Average battery life
If you're looking to jump into PC gaming on a budget, the
Gigabyte P55K v4 offers plenty of performance without breaking the bank. For
the same price as the new 12-inch Apple MacBook you get a super-speedy Intel
Core i7 processor with discrete graphics to boot. There's enough power on tap
to easily surpass the 60 fps holy grail in almost any game so long as you knock
your settings a peg or two below Ultra. To top it off P55K v4 features a great,
colorful IPS screen and an immersive Dolby Digital Plus Home Theatre sound
system to make this one of the nicest self-contained gaming platforms we've
ever reviewed.
5. Alienware 17 (2015)
The Alienware 17 is an impressive refinement for this series
of gaming laptops
CPU: 2.5GHz Intel Core i7-4710HQ | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce
GTX 980M (4GB GDDR5 RAM), Intel HD Graphics 4600 | RAM: 16GB | Screen: 17.3
inch, 1,920 x 1,080 IPS anti-glare display | Storage: 256 GB M.2 SATA SSD + 1TB
HDD (7,200 rpm) | Connectivity: Killer 1525 802.11ac 2x2 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.1 |
Camera:2MP Full HD webcam | Weight: 8.33 pounds (3.78 kg) | Dimensions: 16.93 x
11.49 x 1.35 inches (W x D x H)
-Flexible desktop mode
-Excellent large
screen
-Still quite expensive
-Slightly bottlenecked
Amplifier performance
The Alienware 17 is one of those few outrageously priced
gaming laptops that's actually worth it. The notebook is a fully capable gaming
machine on its own, but with the added power of desktop graphics through the
GPU Amplifier it can play almost any game on Ultra settings.If you're looking
for something smaller, theAlienware 13 also works with the optional GPU box.
6. MSI GS60 Ghost Pro
The best thin-and-light gaming laptop
CPU: 2.6GHz Intel Core i7 6700HQ | Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce
GTX 970M, Intel HD Graphics 530 | RAM: 16GB DDR4 | Screen: 15.6-inch, 1,920 x
1,080 eDP Wide View Angle | Storage: 128GB SSD; 1TB HDD | Connectivity: Killer
N1525 Combo (2 x 2 AC) Wi-Fi; Bluetooth 4.1 | Camera: FHD webcam | Weight: 4.2
pounds |Dimensions: 15.35 x 10.47 x 0.78 inches (W x D x H)
-Performance pusher
-Stupendous keyboard
-Fleeting battery life
-A bit expensive
High on mature styling and light on weight, the MSI GS60
Ghost Pro is one of the thinnest gaming laptops you can buy. Don't think this
svelte machine has sacrificed performance for the sake of cutting weight. It
still comes packed with a high-end Intel Skylake processor and graphics card to
make it a one of the strongest platforms we've ever tested. Just make sure to
stick with a 1080p resolution and medium to high visual settings.
7. Aorus X7 Pro-Sync
Fully-loaded machine with everything you'll ever need
CPU: 2.5GHz Intel Core i7-4870HQ | Graphics: 2 x Nvidia GTX

pounds |Dimensions: 16.85 x 12 x 0.9 inches
-Thin and fully-loaded
-Record breaking
performance
-Hard to click
trackpad
-Tornado-producing
fans
The Aorus X7 Pro-Sync is a 17.3-inch gaming laptop that
packs a ton into thin body. With no less than two graphics cards and a heady
processor too, the X7 is overflowing with performance. What's more, thanks to
some newly added Nvidia display technology, gamers can be confident they're
getting the highest frame rates without any bothersome jitter and tearing
issues. In the future, this Aorus X7 will come packing Nvidia's desktop
graphics for even more performance.
8. HP Omen
A most sophisticated and attractive gaming laptop
CPU: 2.6GHz Intel Core i7-4720HQ | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce
GTX 960M (4GB GDDR5 RAM), Intel HD Graphics 4600 | RAM: 16GB | Screen:

|Dimensions: 15.07 x 9.67 x 0.78 inches
-Bold, unique design
-Sublime screen
-Pricey compared to
competition
-Lacking screen
brightness
If you want a machine that doesn't follow the crowd with
glowing alien heads and flaming decals, the HP Omen has a style unto its own.
Steeply tapered edges give way to a plenty of lights and other little details
to make this one of the industry's most sophisticated and attractive gaming
laptops. Beyond looks, the HP Omen packs enough processing brains to handle
anything from everyday task to hardcore PC gaming. As a mid-range system, it
straddles the line of excellent power efficiency while still offering enough
performance to handle the latest games.
9. Digital Storm Triton
A rare powerful and affordable gaming laptop
CPU: 2.5GHz Intel Core i7-4710HQ | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce
GTX 970M (3GB GDDR5 RAM), Intel HD Graphics 4600 | RAM: 8GB DDR3L (1600MHz)|

120GB SSD; 750GB HDD (7,200rpm) | Connectivity: Intel Wireless-AC 7265 +
Bluetooth 4.0 | Camera: 2MP 720p webcam | Weight: 5.5 pounds | Dimensions:
15.16 x 10.67 x 0.98 inches (W x D x H)
-Excellent performance
-Thin, attractive
design
-Bland screen
-Heat ventilation
problems
The Digital Storm Triton is an attractive, powerful and,
most importantly, affordable gaming laptop. These are three qualities you don't
often hear in the same sentence, making this machine special for pulling
together such a rarecombination.It has enough computing power to play most
modern games at 60 fps with just a few tweak in your graphics settings.Though
it has a lackluster screen and trouble keeping cool, this Digital Storm laptop
is still an incredible deal.
10. Asus ROG G751JY
The G751 combines top-end components with a great design
CPU: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7-4860HQ | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce
GTX 980M 4GB |RAM: 32GB DDR3L (1600MHz) | Screen: 17.3-inch 1080p IPS display |
Storage:1TB hard disk, 512GB SSD | Optical drive: Blu-ray | Connectivity: 2x2
802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 | Camera: 720p | Weight: 10.5 pounds |
Dimensions: 16.3 x 12.5 x 0.79-inch (W x D x H)
-Good performance
-Great overall design
-Rather hefty
-Expensive
The Asus ROG G751 is a gaming tank in every sense. At 17
inches and 4.8kg, it's bigger and heavier than some other gaming laptops, but
it sports a premium design spruced up with aluminum and houses powerful
components that justify the chunk. Inside you'll find some of the best
components available to notebooks to day that allows this mobile rig to play
games at high detail settings. For all of its horsepower, the G751 is
uncommonly quiet and runs at a gentle hum. It's big, bold, perhaps even beautiful
— and definitely a beast. It's also worth noting that Asus has a new ROG G752
waiting in the wings with an new sleeker design plus Skylake processors. The
Taiwanese computer maker also has performance champion on the block with the
ROG GX700, the world's first gaming laptop with built-in liquid-cooling.
Knowledge Question: When Should We Trust Our Senses to Give Us Truth?
Our senses are the link between our minds and our environment; we rely on them for our tactical, visual, auditory, olfactory, and gustatory acquisition of knowledge. Our dependence on our senses foe knowledge heightens our need to critically evaluate the information they deliver. Only through maintaining a balance between trusting our senses and assessing their congruence with pre-existing knowledge can a knower achieve a state of perceptive, yet thoughtful, acquisition of knowledge.
The goal of a knower is to positively contribute to society; that is, to benefit his community, be it personal, family, city, or worldwide community, with his knowledge. A nation's president's decisions contribute to society; even sharing one's personal opinions in a Theory of Knowledge class can constitute positively contributing to society, if the knower's comments are made constructively. A knower's knowledge, or lack thereof, determines the overall content and effect of a contribution, be it positive or negative. A knower's primary sources of information are his five senses: sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing. Senses are the gateways that allow a knower to glean knowledge from his experiences and enviroment.
Pertama kali ku dengar namamu
Bagaikan bergerak bibirku
Untuk bertanya apa ertinya
Pertama kali pandanganku
Jatuh di wajahmu
Bagaikan terdengar resah diriku
Untuk bertanya ribuan rahasia
Yang tenggelam di dasarmu
Atau ratusan kisah
yang mengalir ke muara
Di tepi kaca jendela
Aku memandang gerak hidup kejar mengejar
Gelombang menawan buih, di pantai terdampar
Menenggelami harapan manusia
Atau membina tebing cinta suatu bangsa
Dan entah berapa pedagang mudik ke hulu
Dan entah berapa petani menuai hampa
Dan berapa pasang ikan bercumbu-cumbuan
Bergigitan manja sebelum mati di perut kota.
Oh, sungai yang melintasi jendela
Aku hanya pendatang sementara
Yang telah jatuh cinta
Dan terlalu banyak bertanya.
Hi semua.. harini nak share ngan korang semua pasal perkara yang aku lalui waktu di The Mines. it's my first time being there although I have had stayed in Putrajaya for quite some time..

kertas biasa yang di sulap oleh manusia itu sendiri
menjadi kertas ajaib........
sebagian manusia beranggapan
denganmu, mereka bisa membeli segalanya
denganmu, mereka bisa di hormati
sungguh mereka sangat ingin memilikimu.
semoga kelak mereka bisa menyadari
bahwa tidak semua hal bisa di beli dengan engkau
tetapi satu hal yang harus diakui
tanpamu dunia ini tidak akan menjadi indah.........
For those who are truly passionate about watching movies, a
powerful video player is rather a must-have companion regardless their
preferred genre of movies! And, of course, if you ask movie freaks, each of
them will have a different preference — which actually puts you in confusion
when it comes to choosing a good video player for a Windows PC. We take it for
granted that the default Windows Media Player is not enough for you, and you
need a better option.
If you are also in such confusion, you are at the right place,
because we’ve made a list of top 10 video players you can choose for your
Windows PC. So, shall we start our list of those 10 best media players for
Windows? It is to be noted that we have considered several factors of each
video player such as usability, distinctive features, etc while creating this
list and we hope it helps the movie-freak in you.
1. VLC Media Player
We thought we would — and we should — start this list with a
free, open-source software for watching movies, other kinds of videos etc, on
your Windows PCs that may vary in terms of system configuration. It’s not
actually one basic player alternative, but much more, especially when we take
into consideration its streaming features and other ways of media input. VLC
Media Player supports almost every video and audio format you come across and
it is offering a wide range of subtitle format support as well — if you are
passionate about subtitles too.
VLC Media Player has a truly simplified User Interface that
does not include any ads, spyware or anything else that intrudes into user
privacy. And, once you have installed VLC, there is no burden of installing
extra codec files — popular ones come with it! Also, if its basic skin is
boring, you can install extra skins, by downloading them right away from
official site of VLC Player & the collection is being updated every day.
Here comes KMPlayer, my personal choice when it comes to
watching films! Even when other video players become dumbstruck if the output
is of a non-common format, KMPlayer would be able to play that file, quite
smoothly & there are impressive features too. Some of those features of
KMPlayer include its support for 3D, 2K, 4K & UHD, presence of internal
codec files that make playback easier than you except, provided the PC may have
relatively lower configuration.
Rather than merely playing files, you have an option to set
up libraries when it comes to videos and music; thus, you can get an awesome
media experience. Similarly, there is an option to play DVDs well, with all the
features you could expect in a typical DVD player. One of the other features
that we praise KMPlayer for, is the ability to adjust the playback screen with
respect to our screen, convenience of use and there’s an in-built subtitle
editor too.
GOM Media Player comes from GOM Lab, and it is one of the
best, free software you can have when you’d love to play almost every media
file. It supports a wide range of video formats including MKV, FLV, etc along
with standard media formats. Also, GOM Media Player has a number of advanced
features when it comes to playback of files, such as the playback speed
control, video effects, audio capture, A-B repeat screen etc. So, in short, GOM
Media Player is an impressive software.
Talking of UI & Customization, GOM Media Player offers
advanced-level customization that supports different skins! You can download
skins from official GOM Player site and make GOM Player look like as you wish.
Also, there is a codec finder that helps you find sufficient codecs online when
there’s an uncommon file or if GOM Player lacks that codec. Despite all these,
GOM Media Player will work fine with PC that runs Windows XP S2 or later.
MPC-HC, actually the acronym of Media Player Classic — Home
Cinema, is yet another free software, when you prefer a lightweight desktop
software to play different kinds of video files. With no sorts of intrusive
toolbars or advertising stuff involved, MPC-HC offers a clean playback experience.
It has to be noted that, regardless the lightweight nature, MPC-HC can play
almost every heavy file that you will have in your Windows PC.
Additional features of Media Player Classic include key
commands and lots more. While integrated codec support lets you play video
files regardless how uncommon their video formats are, availability of the
64-bit version will be helpful when you need stabilized and powerful version.
Talking about customization, MPC-HC can let you install toolbars and skins
according to your tastes and preferences! In addition, MPC-HC has a portable
version that extends its productivity to a new level. If we are to consider all
these, MPC-HC is a great video player for Windows.
Potplayer is yet another free video player for your Windows
PC, and it has support for devices that are running XP or later and ranges up
to Windows 8.1, which is a good thing we hope. It does not matter if you’ve a
set of hardware that is low enough; Potplayer will utilize the Hardware
Acceleration feature to make sure that you’re able to get an best media
experience from your desktop. There are more features when it comes to playback
as well.
For instance, unlike the aforementioned video player
software, Potplayer supports different kinds of 3D Glasses and 3D-oriented
features of Potplayer are just awesome from the user’s point of view. Also,
there is an option to get 3D output as per what your requirement is. In
addition, Potplayer offers support for almost every codec you would need in the
whole journey of movie watching and it supports different kinds of subtitle
files as well. Screen snapshot feature, the ability to choose between sound
cards, scene bookmarking etc are worth noting too.
When you do not want to compromise High-Quality
movie-watching experience, including Ultra HD Videos and HEVC Playback, it is a
good choice to go with DivX Player! DivX Player is actually meant for HQ Video
playback and cross-device streaming of your media files. Don’t get confused
about the name, DivX Player support popular video formats such as AVI, MKV
& MP4 along with DIVX. The in-built Media Server feature in the bundle of
DivX Player lets you stream media to various devices if they have DLNA support.
If we consider the case of playback, DivX Player has a lot
of features such as FF/RW that helps you access chapters in each video, better
organization through playlists, advanced audio playback, an in-built Recently
Watched playlist for making sure that you can start from where you left off. In
general, DivX Player is a great deal, indeed.
If you want to experience HD graphics with stunning audio, I suggest that you use Splash Pro Ex (Reminder: it has a 30 free trial day period before you can purchase it)
