Apa sih keunggulan dari Iphone 5S ? lihat disini

iPhone 5S telah resmi diperkenalkan. Selain pilihan warna baru perak dan emas, Apple juga menanamkan sejumlah fitur baru yang menarik pada ponsel iPhone terbaru ini. Fitur-fitur tersebut menambah daya tarik iPhone 5S dibanding iPhone terdahulu, sekaligus membuatnya lebih relevan dengan perkembangan terkini. Apa saja hal baru yang ditawarkan iPhone 5S? Berikut ini penjelasannya, sebagaimana dikutip dari The Verge. Engadget Apple A7 1. Prosesor 64-bit. iPhone 5S disebut menjadi smartphone pertama di dunia yang dilengkapi prosesor 64 bit dalam bentuk chip Apple A7. Apple mengklaim bahwa prosesor ini memiliki kinerja olah data dan grafis dua kali lebih kencang dibandingkan pendahulunya, Apple A6 pada iPhone 5. Apple turut menyiapkan sistem operasi iOS 7 berikut aplikasi-aplikasi yang mampu memanfaatkan arsitektur 64-bit dari iPhone 5S. Ponsel ini juga mampu menjalankan judul-judul software 32-bit yang didesain untuk pendahulunya. 2. Prosesor pendamping untuk memantau sensor gerak. Di samping prosesor utama A7, Apple juga turut membenamkan prosesor pendamping bernama M7. Tugasnya adalah secara khusus menangani input dari berbagai macam sensor di iPhone tersebut, termasuk accelerometer, gyroscope, dan kompas. Prosor pendamping ini mengurangi beban pemrosesan dari prosesor utama dan membuka kemungkinan pemanfaatan oleh aplikasi-aplikasi navigasi dan kesehatan, misalnya Nike+ Move. Apple Kamera iPhone 5S 3. Kamera "iSight" baru. Unit kamera pada iPhone 5S memiliki sensor yang ukurannya 15 persen lebih besar dibandingkan pendahulunya. Sensor yang lebih besar ini turut memperbesar ukuran tiap-tiap fotodioda (pixel) yang pada gilirannya meningkatkan kualitas foto yang dihasilkan. Konsep ini mirip dengan teknologi "Ultrapixel" dari HTC. Tetapi, Apple tidak memangkas ataupun meningkatkan resolusi kamera, tetapi tetap mempertahankan angkanya di 8 megapixel. Kelengkapan lain yang tak kalah menarik adalah lampu flash dengan dua warna yang secara otomatis mampu menyesuaikan keluaran white balance dari flash sehingga selaras dengan kondisi cahaya lingkungan. Selain itu, ada juga kemampuan merekam video slow-motion dengan frame rate 120 FPS pada resolusi 1280 x 720. Apple Pemindai sidik jari pada iPhone 5S 4. Pemindai sidik jari. Fitur yang satu ini berkaitan dengan keamanan. iPhone 5S mampu memanfaatkan sidik jari pengguna sebagai pengganti password untuk melakukan login, termasuk dalam membuka kunci lockscreen pada iPhone. Layanan-layanan Apple seperti iTunes juga mendukung otentifikasi pengguna melalui pemindaian sidik jari. Sensor sidik jari pada iPhone 5S terintegrasi pada tombol "Home" di bagian muka. Kini tombol ini dibuat dari bahan safir yang anti-gores dan mampu memindai sidik jari pengguna dari berbagai arah.

Cara ampuh untuk menanggulangi flu dengan cepat

Penanganan Flu Penanganan penyakit flu dapat dilakukan tanpa atau dengan obat. Penanganan tanpa obat Penyakit flu merupakan penyakit yang self-limiting, artinya jika tidak terjadi komplikasi dengan penyakit lain, biasanya setelah 4-7 hari akan sembuh sendiri, sehingga agar lebih ringan menghadapi penyakit ini, ada beberapa tindakan yang dapat dilakukan: 1.Beristirahat dengan cukup selama 2-3 hari 2.Hindari kegiatan fisik secara berlebihan 3.Makan makanan yang bergizi untuk meningkatkan daya tahan tubuh 4.Konsumsi buah-buahan segar untuk mendapatkan banyak vitamin 5.Minum air yang banyak, agar rasa kering di tenggorokkan dapat diminimalkan. dan untuk mengurangi rasa nyeri di tenggorokan dapat dilakukan dengan cara berkumur-kumur dengan air garam Penanganan dengan obat Yang sering dilakukan oleh masyarakat, ketika dia terkena flu, adalah dengan mengkonsumsi antibiotik, seperti amoxicillin. Sebenarnya penggunaan antibiotik seperti amoxicillin untuk menangani virus influenza adalah tidak tepat, karena amoxicillin diindikasikan untuk infeksi karena bakteri. Penggunaan obat flu, sebenarnya untuk menghilangkan symptom (gejalanya), bukan untuk “memberantas” virus influenza itu sendiri, sehingga jika setelah 3 hari tidak kunjung sembuh, segera perksakan ke dokter. Umumnya obat-obat flu adalah obat yang dikategorikan sebagai obat bebas atau obat bebas terbatas, yaitu obat-obat yang dapat diperoleh tanpa resep dokter. Kalau antibiotik, tergolong obat keras, sehingga penggunaaannya harus didasarkan resep dokter. Penggunaan antibiotik yang tidak tepat malah akan merugikan, karena akan menimbulkan resistensi terhadap mikroorganisme tertentu. Obat flu yang beredar di pasaran, pada umumnya merupakan kombinasi antara berbagai zat aktif dengan efek sebagai berikut: 1.Penurun demam (antipiretik) seperti parasetamol 2.Mengurangi hidung tersumbat (dekongestan), seperti PPA HCl, Pseudoefedrin 3.Antihistamin, berfungsi untuk mencegah pelepasan mediator yang dilepas pada saat terjadi alergi, contohnya CTM (chlorfeniramine maleate), dexchlorfeniramin maleate. Umumnya golongan antihistamin Ini memberikan efek samping mengantuk, tapi efek samping ini bermanfaat, karena dapat membantu penderita flu untuk beristirahat lebih baik. Ada juga antihistamin yang tidak memberikan efek samping mengantuk. 4.Ekspektoran, yaitu senyawa yang dapat membantu untuk mempermudah pengeluaran dahak. Ekspektoran sendiri dibagi menjadi 3, yaitu a)Sekretolitika (untuk meningkatkan pengeluaran lendir), contohnya Radix ipecacuanhae, ammonium klorida, oleum eucalypti b)Mukolitika (mengubah sifat fisiko kimia sekret, terutama dengan menurunkan kekentalan lendir), contohnya bromheksin c)sekremotorika ( menyebabkan gerakan sekret dan batuk untuk mengeluarkan sekret tersebut), contohnya golongan β-simpatomimetika 5.Antitusiva (menghentikan rangsang batuk, menurunkan frekuensi dan intensitas dorongan batuk dengan cara menekan refleks batuk karena adanya penghambatan pusat batuk dalam batang otak dan atau melalui blokade reseptor batuk dalam saluran bronkus. Obat ini hanya digunakan pada rangsang batuk kering, contohnya dekstrometorfan HBr dan difenhidramin HCl Obat flu mana yang harus dipilih? Banyak sekali obat flu yang beredar di pasaran, .sehingga terkadang kita pun bingung untuk memilihnya. Obat flu yang harus dipilih adalah obat yang didasarkan pada gejala yang terjadi

10 Penyebab flu

Jangan meremehkan
penyakit influenza (flu). Yang berbahaya bukan
hanya flu babi, kita juga harus waspada
terhadap flu pada umumnya. Banyak hal yang
tanpa kita sadari bisa menyebabkan kita terkena
flu. Berikut ini yang perlu dicermati:

1. Terlalu cemas.
Ketakutan kita dari penyakit justru akan membuat kita sakit. Contohnya, kita khawatir akan virus flu babi. Virus H1N1 belum terbukti
lebih mengancam daripada flu musiman biasa.
Kebanyakan orang yang terserang flu, jika pulih, akan pulih sepenuhnya. Penelitian menunjukkan, kecemasan justru mewujudkan apa yang kita khawatirkan itu sendiri. Jadi, tidak
perlu khawatir karena khawatir hanya akan melemahkan sistem kekebalan tubuh kita.

2. Memeluk, mencium, dan berjabat tangan.
Kontak dekat dengan orang yang terinfeksi adalah salah satu cara mudah tertular virus.Tapi bukan berarti Anda harus menjadi orang
yang antisosial selama musim flu. Sadari saja peluang tertularnya virus. Jika Anda berjabat
tangan dengan orang lain, cobalah untuk tidak menyentuh mulut atau mata sebelum mencuci tangan.

3. Merokok.
Merokok dapat melemahkan fungsi
bulu-bulu halus di hidung sebagai filter udara ke paru-paru, sehingga bakteri akan terperangkap dan masuk paru-paru. Hal ini menyebabkan tubuh Anda menjadi lebih rentan terhadap serangan penyakit. Pascal James Imperato, MD, dekan Fakultas Kesehatan
Masyarakat di SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn memperingatkan kerusakan paru-paru sebelumnya, seperti yang disebabkan oleh merokok, bisa meninggalkan risiko yang lebih
besar dari komplikasi serius “Perokok kronis selalu jauh lebih rentan terhadap infeksi pernapasan. Mereka telah merusak paru-paru,
membuat mereka lebih rentan terhadap penyakit”, kata James.

4. Olahraga terlalu sering. Kebiasaan olahraga dalam jumlah yang berlebihan akan melemahkan sistem kekebalan tubuh kita. Tahukah Anda, pusat latihan kebugaran adalah tempat yang banyak mengandung kuman? Mulai
dari treadmill dan peralatan kebugaran penuh keringat, bangku, ruang ganti, dan mungkin di
dalam tas yang Anda bawa pulang sudah melekat dengan kuman. Tapi, ini bukan berarti
Anda harus berhenti berolahraga. Untuk melindungi dari serangan virus, bersihkan peralatan kebugaran yang ingin digunakan.
Setelah berolahraga, jangan lupa untuk mencuci tangan.

5. Minum minuman beralkohol. Sebuah penelitian terbaru di BMC Immunology menemukan, tikus
yang mengonsumsi alkohol dalam jumlah besar dalam waktu singkat telah melemahkan sistem
kekebalan tubuh dan mungkin memiliki waktu lebih sulit melawan infeksi selama minimal 24
jam. Efek samping lain dari minum alkohol terlalu banyak adalah menyebabkan dehidrasi yang menggangu kemampuan hidung dan tenggorokan untuk menyaring kuman dan mengusirnya dalam bentuk lendir.

6. Ketergantungan lebih pada pembersih tangan
antibakteri.
Anda terbiasa menggunakan cairan
gel pembersih antibakteri, periksa dulu bahan yang terkandung di dalamnya. Sebuah gel antibakteri yang baik mengandung 60 – 95%
alkohol, etanol, atau isopropanol. Cairan pembersih ini efektif untuk membunuh kuman, tapi jangan lupa untuk mencuci tangan seperti
biasa menggunakan air bersih. Sampai saat ini belum ada penelitian yang membuktikan
pembersih tangan mampu membunuh virus. Mencuci tangan dengan sabun dan air tetap
merupakan cara terbaik untuk mencuci tangan.

7. Tidak mencuci tangan dengan benar.
Banyak orang tidak mencuci tangan dengan benar. Cuci tangan sebanyak sepuluh kali, salah satu cara yang dianjurkan untuk mencegah datangnya virus flu. Namun, masih banyak orang yang
tidak segera mencuci tangan setelah batuk dan bersin. Ditemukan juga banyak yang mencuci tangan kurang dari 15 detik, meskipun para ahli
merekomendasikan mencuci tangan selama 20
detik atau lebih. Cucilah seluruh permukaan
tangan antara jari dan pastikan benar-benar kering setelah tiu. Mematikan keran, lampu
kamar mandi, dan membuka pintu gunakan tisu untuk menjaga tangan tetap bersih.

8. Penggunaan masker wajah yang salah.
Masker wajah tidak lagi dianjurkan untuk digunakan di rumah dan lingkungan kerja. Tapi masih banyak
yang menggunakannya terutama jika dalam kondisi flu yang parah atau karena sehari-hari berurusan dengan orang sakit. Masker adalah
sarang virus. Pastikan Anda menggunakan dan
membuangnya dengan benar. Jangan
menyentuh bagian depan yang paling mungkin
terkontaminasi dengan virus. Setelah itu, cucilah
tangan hingga bersih.

9. Minum obat flu sebelum waktunya.
Obat antivirus harus diberikan dengan resep yang tepat. Karena, dosis yang tidak tepat bisa membuat virus menjadi resisten terhadap obat ini.

10. Meremehkan setiap hal. Biasanya, pasien berisiko tinggi terkena flu berusia setidaknya 65
tahun, di bawah dua tahun, wanita hamil, atau telah ada kondisi medis sebelumnya. Namun, kita semua harus mencegah sebelum virus flu
secara serius menyerang kita.

Thai military disband Senate after seizing power in coup

THAILAND’S military junta says it has
disbanded the Senate and placed all
lawmaking authority in the army chief’s
hands, dramatically tightening its grip after
a coup that has sparked Bangkok protests
and drawn international condemnation.
The regime also confirmed on Saturday it had
detained former premier Yingluck Shinawatra
and scores of other ousted government
leaders and would hold them for up to a
week as it corralled potential opponents to its
takeover.
“The Senate is dismissed. Responsibility for
any laws needing the approval of the
parliament or Senate will instead be assumed
by the leader of the (junta),” said an army
bulletin on national television.
Analysts called Saturday’s developments an
ominous sign the junta led by the army chief,
General Prayut Chan-O-Cha, could be digging
in for a long-term, pervasive takeover, as it
had earlier said the Senate would be
retained.
THAI BOMB BLASTS KILL THREE IN RESTIVE
DEEP SOUTH
Sporadic protests flared in Bangkok for a
second straight day, with hundreds of
demonstrators defying a ban on political
gatherings to denounce the coup, echoing
calls from Washington, the EU and elsewhere
around the world for the restoration of
civilian rule.
Power hungry... Thai Army chief General Prayut
Chan-O-Cha at a press conference in Bangkok.
Prayut seized control on Thursday after anti-
government forces had waged a several-
month campaign, marked by deadly Bangkok
street protests, to oust Thailand’s civilian
leaders.
Civil liberties have been curbed, media
restrictions imposed, most of the constitution
abrogated, and rival protesters from both
sides of the political divide cleared from the
capital.
Political analysts view the coup as part of a
long-running effort by a Bangkok-based
power elite — aligned with the monarchy and
military — to eliminate the political
dominance of Yingluck’s elder brother
Thaksin Shinawatra.
Thaksin, a billionaire telecoms tycoon, shook
up Thai politics by winning devotion among
millions of rural poor with populist measures,
catapulting him to prime minister in 2001
polls.
He was deposed in 2006 in a military coup,
fleeing abroad two years later to avoid a
corruption conviction, but his family and
allies have continued his success at the ballot
box.
The military said on Saturday that Prayut had
sent a letter regarding his takeover to the
country’s revered king, Bhumibol Adulyadej.
Anger... Protesters scuffle with police and
military trying to arrest them during an anti-
coup protest. Picture: Paula Bronstein
The monarch, 86, commands great respect
among his subjects, and his blessing is
traditionally sought to legitimise Thailand’s
recurring military takeovers.
The army said the king had “acknowledged”
Prayut’s letter, but stopped short of
describing the response as an endorsement.
The palace has yet to issue a statement on the
crisis.
The military said Yingluck and other
prominent figures had been taken in under a
martial law provision allowing detentions of
up to seven days without charge and that
they were in no danger.
“(Yingluck) is under detention, and she is
fine,” Lieutenant General Thirachai
Nakwanich, head of the military command
for central Thailand including Bangkok, told
AFP.
Street scene... Anti-coup protesters hold up
posters in front of Thai soldiers and riot police.
Picture: Sakchai Lalit
Washington, which has led criticism of the
coup, took its first concrete steps, suspending
$US3.5 million ($3.79 million) in military
assistance to its ally — about one-third of its
Thai aid.
Anti-Thaksin forces — alleging corruption in
Yingluck’s administration — have staged
months of deadly Bangkok protests that led to
at least 28 deaths and triggered counter-
demonstrations by the pro-Thaksin “Red
Shirt” movement.
Tensions spiralled in early May when a court
ruling controversially stripped Yingluck of
office, setting the stage for the coup.

Obama to Detail a Broader Foreign Policy Agenda

Obama to Detail a Broader
Foreign Policy Agenda
President Obama, with Chancellor Angela
Merkel on May 2, will reveal specifics of his
foreign policy agenda on Wednesday.
DOUG MILLS / THE NEW YORK TIMES
By MARK LANDLER
May 24, 2014
WASHINGTON — President Obama,
seeking to answer criticism that he has
forsaken America’s leadership role,
plans to lay out a retooled foreign-
policy agenda on Wednesday that
could deepen the nation’s involvement
in Syria but would still steer clear of
major military conflicts.
In a commencement address at the
United States Military Academy at
West Point, N.Y., Mr. Obama will seek,
yet again, to articulate his view of the
proper American response to a
cascade of crises, from Syria’s civil
war to Russia’s incursions in Ukraine,
according to a senior administration
official who is helping draft the
speech.
Sketching familiar arguments but on a
broader canvas, Mr. Obama will
emphasize his determination to chart
a middle course between isolationism
and military intervention. The United
States, he said, should be at the
fulcrum of efforts to curb aggression
by Russia and China, though not at the
price of “fighting in eight or nine
proxy wars.”
“It’s a case for interventionism but
not overreach,” Benjamin J. Rhodes,
the deputy national security adviser,
said in an interview. “We are leading,
we are the only country that leads, but
that leadership has to be in service of
an international system.”
Mr. Obama, however, will emphasize
Syria’s growing status as a haven for
terrorist groups, some of which are
linked to Al Qaeda , officials said. That
could open the door to greater
American support for the rebels,
including heavier weapons, though no
decisions have been made.
The president’s speech will kick off an
intense, administration-wide effort to
counter critics who say the United
States is lurching from crisis to crisis,
without a grand plan for dealing with
a treacherous world. While such
critiques slight Mr. Obama’s
accomplishments, Mr. Rhodes said, he
conceded the president had not put his
priorities, from climate change to the
nuclear talks with Iran, into a
comprehensive framework.
Mr. Obama plans to elaborate on his
ideas during a trip to Europe in early
June. Over the next few weeks, the
White House will roll out issue-specific
speeches from Secretary of State John
Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel
and other senior officials.
“We understand that there are a lot of
questions swirling around not just our
foreign policy but America’s role in
the world,” Mr. Rhodes said. “People
are seeing the trees, but we’re not
necessarily laying out the forest.”
The trouble is, as Mr. Obama takes a
stage where his predecessors have
signaled new directions in foreign
policy — George W. Bush used a West
Point speech in 2002 to revive the
principle of pre-emptive military
strikes — his ideas are likely to have a
familiar ring.
In a speech on terrorism last year, Mr.
Obama warned of an arc of Islamic
extremism stretching from the Middle
East to North Africa, which he said
was the successor to the Al Qaeda
threat in Afghanistan and Pakistan
that was fought with troops and
drones.
The president’s calibrated rationale
for military intervention will draw on
a speech he gave in 2011 justifying
American backing for NATO airstrikes
on Libya. And his broad definition of
America’s responsibilities as a global
power will inevitably echo the
principles he outlined in accepting the
Nobel Peace Prize in December 2009.
Critics are also likely to argue that the
president’s words have not been
backed up by actions. Administration
officials, for example, have long
promised to bolster support for the
Syrian rebels. But they have so far
refused to supply them with
antiaircraft missiles because they fear
that these weapons could fall into the
hands of extremists.
Mr. Obama’s anguished response to
Syria has hung over the White House
and fueled critics who say the
president’s foreign policy is
rudderless: He threatened, then pulled
back on, a missile strike against Syria
for its use of chemical weapons and
resisted pleas for greater American
involvement, even as the death toll
rises above 160,000.
“I realized last night that the
administration has no policy in Syria,
has no strategy in Syria,” Senator Bob
Corker of Tennessee, the ranking
Republican on the Foreign Relations
Committee, said last week. He had just
attended a White House wine-and-
cheese reception to discuss foreign
policy — a gathering he described as
“very bizarre.”
Denis R. McDonough, the White House
chief of staff, said he invited Mr.
Corker and other senators to meet
with him and Susan E. Rice, the
national security adviser, because
these issues are going to loom large in
coming weeks, and the administration
wanted to consult Congress. “I thought
we had a good back-and-forth,” he
said.
Mr. Obama’s promise last year to
overhaul the counterterrorism policy
has been bogged down, officials say,
in part because of the distraction of
the surveillance disclosures by the
former National Security Agency
contractor Edward J. Snowden.
And the president’s pivot to Asia has
seemed more promise than reality,
with negotiations for a trans-Pacific
trade deal dragging on and the
restoration of American military
presence limited to announcements
like a base-access deal in the
Philippines.
It was on Mr. Obama’s trip to Asia last
month that his frustrations with his
critics boiled over. “Why is it that
everybody is so eager to use military
force after we’ve just gone through a
decade of war at enormous cost to our
troops and to our budget?” he said in
Manila.
Asked in a news conference to
describe his foreign-policy doctrine,
he said, “You hit singles, you hit
doubles; every once in a while we may
be able to hit a home run.” But, the
president added, the overriding
objective is to avoid an error on the
order of the Iraq war.
While Mr. Obama will most likely
shun such colloquialisms at West
Point, the baseball analogy is an apt
summary of his philosophy. In other
conversations, aides say, the president
has used a saltier variation of the
common-sense saying, “Don’t do
stupid stuff.”
In Asia, however, Mr. Obama framed
the debate over military intervention
in a binary way that aides say does
not reflect his views. They said he
agreed with the ambassador to the
United Nations, Samantha Power, who
recently criticized those who say there
are no options between doing nothing
and putting boots on the ground.
“We believe there is an alternative
approach,” Mr. Rhodes said.
To offer more than competent crisis
management, Mr. Obama will also
promote initiatives, like a global
climate change treaty, as well as the
Iranian nuclear negotiations — long-
shot diplomacy that could nevertheless
be a legacy achievement for him.
Mr. Obama will also argue he showed
firm leadership in marshaling support
to resist Russia’s aggression toward
Ukraine and in backing allies in
territorial disputes with China. The
president, Mr. Rhodes said, will draw
a line from Russia to China,
presenting the United States in both
cases as the ultimate guarantor of an
international order.
Such coalition-building, however, does
not have either the speed or satisfying
clarity of military action. “It’s a long
game,” Mr. Rhodes said. “It’s not one
that solves the problem yesterday.”
Jonathan Weisman contributed
reporting.
Correction: May 24, 2014
An earlier version of a picture caption
with this article misstated the date on
which President Obama appeared with
Chancellor Angela Merkel. It was May
2, not Friday.
