Every martial arts athlete aspires to become world champion, not just to be recognised as the best in class, but to receive the perks and trinkets that come along with holding a prestigious title. Among the most coveted is, of course, the prestigious championship belt. In martial arts, there is no prize more valuable than the ONE Championship title.

The ONE Championship belt is a symbolic ornament of honor and glory. Weighing more than seven kilograms, the jewel-encrusted silver and gold-plated belt is mounted by hand on a thick natural leather strap that is locked together securely with 10 steel studs.

The pair of warring lions that frame the centrepiece ONE Championship logo represents royalty and prestige, and it is complimented by a crown motif at the belt’s apex. Two blood-red rubies are placed in the eyes of the lions, while two secondary plates added eminent value to the handmade masterpiece as it is studded with 52 crystals on each side.

Needless to say, it is beautiful prize, and one that is the perfectly suited for its holder.

Yet beyond the intricately crafted piece of hardware itself lies a much deeper significance. Holding the belt in possession means the champion is the best in the world in his field and this effectively makes the belt worth more than its components.

In 2018, ONE Championship has announced the establishment of the ONE Super Series, at the same time launching Rich Franklin’s ONE Warrior Series.

With the ONE Warrior Series, ONE has placed the emphasis on discovering fresh young talent – martial artists who have the potential to become the next global superstars.

With the ONE Super Series, the promotion aims to showcase the beauty of Asia’s striking arts such as Muay Thai, kickboxing, karate, taekwondo, Kung Fu, wushu, sanda, silat, lethwei, and more.

Along with matches officiated under ONE’s unique Global Rule Set, the promotion now tackles all spectrums of the competition landscape. Because ONE now encompasses all martial arts, this effectively makes the ONE Championship belt the most valuable prize in all of martial arts.

With world-class athletes representing not just Asia, but also the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, ONE has widened its global footprint to 1.7 billion viewers on any given night in over 136 countries around the world. The belt, which has often been referred to as the richest prize in combat sports, becomes representative of the true value of martial arts.

ONE currently has world champions in 10 divisions, represented by eight elite global athletes. When ONE Warrior Series and ONE Super Series champions are inaugurated, ONE will then have the largest collection of world champions in martial arts history for a single promotion.

As the talent continues to rise and flourish in Asia, the competitive landscape gets tighter. As it stands, ONE already boasts of the most talent-rich roster in all of martial arts. And with its continued development of local homegrown martial arts superheroes, ONE has become a promotion that only organises bouts between top competitors.

Kehilangan kedua ibu bapa tersayang secara serentak dan sekaligus menjadi yatim piatu sememangnya merupakan dugaan paling berat untuk diterima dan memerlukan kesabaran yang amat tinggi. Disusuli pula dengan masalah rumahtangga yang berantakan dan kehilangan kedua anak yang disayangi. Itulah yang dilalui oleh Mawar Rashid menerusi lakonannya dalam drama Samarinda Kalis Kasih, yang turut dibintangi oleh Elvina Mohamad, Amar Baharin, Syazwan Zulkifly, Nazeera Sardi, Amyza Aznan, Azri Iskandar, Rosnah Johari, dan Iduerra Matilda dalam drama Samarinda Kalis Kasih.

Kalis Kasih arahan saudara Nazir Jamaludin yang mengandungi 15 episod ini diterbitkan oleh Z K Creative Production Sdn Bhd. Drama yang bertemakan kekeluargaan dan pengorbanan ini bakal menemui penonton semua pada setiap Isnin hingga Rabu bermula 2 April, pada pukul 10.00 malam.

Drama ini mengisahkan tentang dua orang sepupu yang sebaya tetapi berbeza karakter dan latar belakang iaitu Amanda dan Dania. Amanda (lakonan Mawar Rashid) dibesarkan di bandar dan sudah biasa dengan kesenangan, manakala Dania, yang dilakonakan oleh Elvina Mohamad, dibesarkan di kampung dan hidup dalam kesederhanaan. Takdir seakan ingin menduga mereka berdua apabila ibu bapa Amanda lemas ketika beriadah di sungai. Amanda terpaksa meninggalkan kehidupan bandarnya dan berpindah ke kampung untuk tinggal bersama keluarga Dania.

Seperti yang anda jangkakan seperti cerita-cerita melayu yang lain, semestinya Amanda tidak tahan tinggal di kampung. Oleh itu, Amanda belajar bersungguh-sungguh dan dapat sekolah di sebuah sekolah berasrama penuh. Setelah berjaya, Amanda bekerja di bandar dan berkahwin dengan Khair, lakonan Amar Bahrain. Pada masa sama, Dania pula telah menjalinkan hubungan dengan Bard (Syazwan Zulkifli), seorang jejaka kampung yang tidak mempunyai pendapatan tetap. Hubungannya dengan Bard tidak disenangi oleh kedua-dua ibu bapa Dania, Pak Kudin dan Mak Zauyah.

Setelah beberapa bulan berlalu, Amanda melahirkan seorang anak perempuan yang dinamakan Iris. Khabar gembira ini menimbulkan keterujaan Mak Zauyah yang ketika itu tidak sihat. Dia ingin menyediakan air akar kayu untuk Amanda. Namun, tanpa diduga, Mak Zauyah telah tergelincir di dapur dan meragut nyawanya.

Setelah enam tahun berlalu, Dania akhirnya bertunang dengan Bard. Syarikat audit Amanda dan Khair semakin maju dan ini membuatkan mereka terlalu sibuk sehingga tidak dapat menguruskan anaknya Iris. Amanda meminta bantuan Dania untuk menjadi pengasuh Iris. Pada masa sama, Amanda juga sedang mengandungkan anak kedua. Dania teruja apabila dipelawa untuk menjadi pengasuh Iris di samping menjaga rumah Amanda dan Khair.

Puan Halena, ibu Khair pula senang hati melihat rumah tangga anaknya semakin terurus semenjak kehadiran Dania di rumah Amanda. Pada ketika itu juga, pertunangan Dania dengan Bard telah diputuskan oleh Pak Kudin apabila Bard dilihat menjalinkan hubungan sulit bersama wanita lain. Walaupun pertunangan Dania terputus, kehidupan Dania tidak terjejas kerana Dania sedang bahagia bersama Iris.

Namun, kebahagiaan keluarga ini hanyalah sementara apabila mereka diduga dengan Amanda yang keguguran anak keduanya dan kematian Iris. Ini membuatkan hubungan Amanda dan Dania semakin renggang. Apakah yang telah berlaku di dalam keluarga ini?

Dapatkah mereka merasakan kemanisan keluarga bahagia sekali lagi seperti dahulu kala? Ikuti kisah pergolakkan rumah tangga Amanda dan krisis hubungan Dania ini dalam drama Samarinda Kalis Kasih setiap hari Isnin hingga Rabu bermula 2 April, pukul 10.00 malam, di TV3.

Global Sports Brand PUMA announces its partnership with world-renowned pop music icons BTS. The Seoul-based K-pop group comprised of V, SUGA, JungKook, RM, Jin, j-hope and Jimin have been making huge waves in the music scene and are adored by millions of fans from their home base to the far corners of the globe.

The young icons have partnered with PUMA in South Korea since 2015 on brand campaigns and product collaborations. This year, together with PUMA, BTS will release their collaborative product worldwide, which includes a remix of the classic PUMA Turin and stylish sportswear basics. PUMAxBTS collection will be first available in Korea this Spring, with other regions following up later this summer. In addition to the creation of the PUMAxBTS collection, BTS will be seen in PUMA campaigns this year for the brand’s Sportstyle range, which includes classic PUMA icons such as the PUMA Suede and T-7 Track Suits.

BTS won the ‘Top Social Artist’ last year at the Billboard Music Awards, one of the top three music awards in the United States, surpassing world famous artists. They were also officially invited to the American Music Awards (AMA) to perform on stage, being the first K-pop group to do so, increasing the reputation of K-pop music and culture. In addition, they released the remix album ‘MIC Drop’ last November, making it to 28th place on the ‘Hot 100’, the Billboard singles chart, in the United States, which is the top record for a K-pop group.

BTS has been a great partner for PUMA and their innovative spirit, authenticity and creativity sync perfectly with the PUMA DNA. The PUMAxBTS collection will first hit stores in Korea this March and roll out globally in July. A follow up capsule to be released later this fall.

Sifat kesetiaan, ketulusan, kekuatan, istiqamah dan iltizam yang bersungguh-sungguh yang wujud dalam sanubari wanita sering diungkap dalam naskhah-naskhah zaman silam sama ada di alam Melayu ataupun Barat. Keutuhan cinta seorang wanita yang setia tidak ada pasang surutnya, tidak pernah berkurang apatah lagi hilang ditelan masa. Sekali dia menyerahkan jiwa dan raganya kepada seorang lelaki,  sampai ke hujung nyawa dia akan tetap melestarikan rasa kasih dan sayangnya kepada pasangannya.

Begitulah luahan SITI NORDIANA dalam single terbarunya yang berjudul “Hatiku Milikmu”.  Ini merupakan single solo Nana yang ketiga selepas muncul juara dalam program Gegar Vaganza 2 (GV2) pada tahun 2015. Masih mengekalkan tema cinta dalam single terbaru ini, Siti Nordiana yang mesra disapa sebagai Nana ini beranggapan lagu ini bukan hanya mengisarkan kisah cinta biasa, malah ianya lebih memfokuskan kepada sifat wanita yang setia dan tulus dalam percintaan.

“Bagi Nana lagu ini melambangkan keutuhan cinta seorang wanita. Walaupun pernah dikecewakan, hatinya tetap setia dan cintanya tetap utuh. Sukar untuk dia berpindah ke lain hati apabila sepenuh jiwa raganya sudah pun diserahkan kepada lelaki yang amat dicintainya,” jelas Nana tentang perihal yang diangkat dalam “Hatiku Milikmu”.

Single terbaru ini merupakan hasil gubahan Nana sendiri bersama Shana yang bertindak sebagai penulis lirik. Lagu berentak pop balada ini diterbitkan oleh syarikat rakaman milik Nana sendiri, SND Soul Entertainment dengan kerjasama Seventeen Eleven Music Sdn Bhd sebagai pengedar.

Sesuai dengan suara dan kecenderungan Nana sendiri yang selesa membawakan lagu-lagu irama balada yang sudah sebati dengan dirinya. Nana sekali lagi mempertaruhkan genre pop balada untuk single “Hatiku Milikmu” ini. Menjanjikan sedikit kelainan terhadap karya terbarunya ini, Nana memilih untuk menyuntik sedikit elemen moden ke dalam susunan muzik “Hatiku Milikmu” agar berbunyi lebih segar dan berbeza berbanding lagu-lagu Nana sebelum ini. 

“Apa yang boleh Nana simpulkan, muzik dalam lagu ni memang cukup istimewa. Lagu ini sepatutnya lagu sedih dengan melodi mendayu-dayu dan lirik yang melankolis, tetapi sebaliknya lagu ini kedengaran tidaklah sampai meruntun jiwa. Itulah keistimewaannya. Lagu sedih tapi muziknya sedikit rancak,” ulas Nana. 

”Lagipun, sengaja Nana hasilkan lagu ini agar tidak bernada tinggi dan bersifat lebih santai. Senanglah nanti untuk peminat menyanyikan lagu ini di karaoke atau menerusi applikasi seperti Smule,” jelas Nana lagi.

Sekiranya lirik dalam single Nana sebelum ini “Terus Mecintai” merupakan cerminan kisah percintaan Nana sendiri. Inspirasi lirik “Hatiku Milikmu” pula datang dari sumber yang berbeza. Penyanyi kelahiran Negeri Sembilan ini menjelaskan,“Ilham untuk penulisan lirik lagu ini bermula daripada lontaran idea Nana dan Shana. Mengambil contoh kisah-kisah cinta di sekeliling kita, kami berdua sama-sama fikirkan latar cerita terbaik untuk lagu ini. Lirik nukilan Shana berjaya memberi jiwa kepada lagu ini.”

Turut dilancarkan bersama single ini adalah video muzik rasmi “Hatiku Milikmu” yang akan mula disiarkan Video muzik ini merupakan arahan Sergiu Chirau dan Dragos Cruceat dari agensi produksi video, Storytellrs. Penggambaran dijalankan selama seminggu di Krabi, Thailand dan sekitar Kuala Lumpur. Menurut Nana, inilah pengalaman pertamanya menjalani penggambaran video muzik di luar negara sepanjang tempoh karier seninya yang sudah menginjak usia 19 tahun.

Video muzik ini turut menampilkan pasangan lakonan Nana dalam telemovie “Cekelat Semanis Honey” dan “Cekelat Tak Semanis Honey”. Pemilihan Fikry Ibrahim untuk bergandingan dengannya dalam video muzik ini menurut Nana adalah bagi memenuhi permintaan peminat yang mahu melihat kesinambungan gandingan mereka di layar perak. “Ada sesuatu istimewa yang Nana sajikan dalam video muzik ini. Peminat kenalah tonton kalau hendak tahu lebih lanjut,” ujar Nana yang turut teruja menantikan hasil video muzik itu.

 Nana yang sibuk merencana kerjaya seninya dalam bidang nyanyian, lakonan dan pengacaraan untuk tahun 2018, berdebar menunggu penerimaan peminat terhadap single terbaru ini berkata,“Selama ini memang Nana cuba berikan yang terbaik untuk peminat. Merekalah sumber inspirasi Nana. Harapan Nana agar “Hatiku Milikmu” ini mendapat reaksi positif peminat Nana khususnya dan pencinta seni tanahair amnya.”

One thing that every meat lover can always count on is that special, mouth-watering sauce to go with any good piece of meat. But, what exactly makes the sauce so special? Is it the texture or the thickness of the sauce that makes it so delicious? Or is it just about the sauce having the right amount of depth in flavor that gives it its uniqueness and quality? Whichever it may be, Tony Roma’s knows best when it comes to pairing a good piece of meat with the right sauce.

For a limited time only, Tony Roma’s Saucy BBQ Grilled Chicken menu offers three new and bold sauces which comprises the New Pepsi BBQ Sauce – a caramel sweet smoky flavored sauce with a hint of spices, the Peppercorn Sauce – a rich creamy peppercorn flavored sauce with a hint of apple, and the Texas Spicy Sauce – made with fresh ingredients and has a hint of chili and light sweet tomato flavor.

Irene Tiong, Brand General Manager of Tony Roma’s Malaysia, said, “Having good grilling and cooking skills are undeniably the core of barbecue.

Sony today introduced yet another impressive addition to their full-frame mirrorless camera line-up, the α7 III (model ILCE-7M3). 

• Newly Developed Full-frame 24.2MP[1] Back-Illuminated Exmor R™ CMOS Image Sensor with Evolved Image Processing
• Wide ISO range of 100 – 51200 (expandable to ISO 50 – 204800 for still images) and 15-Stop[2] Dynamic Range at low sensitivities
• World Class AF system featuring 693 phase-detection AF points covering 93% of image area, 425 contrast AF points and fast and reliable Eye AF
• Continuous Shooting at up to 10 fps[3] with either Mechanical Shutter or Silent Shooting[4] and full Auto Focus/Auto Exposure tracking
• 5-axis optical in-body image stabilisation with a 5.0 step[5] shutter speed advantage
• High Resolution 4K[6] Movie Shooting with full pixel readout and no pixel binning across full-width of full-frame sensor
• The longest rated battery life of any Mirrorless camera[7] at 710 shots[8] per charge
• Upgraded operability and functionality including addition of joystick for adjusting focus points, Dual SD Card Slots, SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.1 Gen 1) USB Type-C™ Terminal and more

Sony’s unmatched innovation within the image sensor space is at the forefront of the new α7 III, as it features a brand new 24.2MP¹ back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor with increased sensitivity, outstanding resolution and an impressive 15 stops² of dynamic range at low sensitivities. By combining this sensor with a variety of impressive features including extreme AF coverage of 93%, fast shooting at up to 10 fps³ with either mechanical shutter or silent shooting⁴, diverse 4K⁵ video capabilities and more, Sony has created a new tool that gives all types of creators – from enthusiast to professional – the ability to capture content in new and different ways than they ever have before.

Spectacular Full-frame Image Quality

The newly developed 24.2MP¹ back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor is paired with a front-end LSI that effectively doubles the readout speed of the image sensor, as well as an updated BIONZ X™ processing-engine that boosts processing speed by approximately 1.8 times compared to the α7 II. These powerful components work together to allow the camera to shoot at faster speeds while also enabling its impressive ISO range of 100 – 51200 (expandable to ISO 50 – 204800 for still images) and an overall 1.5-stop[1] improvement in image quality. The camera also features a massive 15-stop² dynamic range at low sensitivity settings, ensuring outstanding overall performance at all settings and in all shooting conditions, with significant advancements in accurate colour reproductions of skin tones and the vibrant colours of nature.

This new full-frame model can also output 14 bit RAW format[2] even in silent and continuous shooting modes, and is equipped with a 5-axis optical image stabilisation system that results in a 5.0 step⁵ shutter speed advantage.

Significant Advances in AF Speed and Performance

The innovative new α7 III full-frame mirrorless camera features a level of AF performance that has been largely improved over the α7 II, including the addition of 4D FOCUS™ capabilities. The new camera has 425 contrast AF points that work with a 693-point focal-plane phase-detection AF system inherited from the acclaimed α9 model. This innovative AF system covers approximately 93% of the frame, ensuring reliable focusing and tracking for even the most difficult to capture subjects.

AF response and tracking has also been greatly improved in the new camera, with almost 2x⁹ the focusing speed in low-light condition and 2x² the tracking speed compared to the previous model as a result of the faster image sensor readout. This allows complex and unpredictable motion to be captured with far greater precision and accuracy.

The acclaimed Eye AF feature is also available in the new camera, even in AF-C mode, which is extremely useful for situations where the subject is turning around, looking down or otherwise obstructed. It also works when the α7 III is being used with Sony’s A-mount lenses with an optional LA-EA3 adaptor[1]. Additional improvements in focusing flexibility include the addition of a multi-selector or ‘joystick’ for moving focusing points quickly, the addition of touch focusing capability, AF availability in Focus Magnifier mode, an ‘AF On’ button and much more.

Speed to Capture Every Decisive Moment

The new α7 III is equipped with an updated image processing system that allows it to shoot full resolution images at up to 10 fps³ with continuous, accurate AF/AE tracking for up to 177 Standard JPEG images, 89 compressed RAW images or 40 uncompressed RAW images[1]. This high speed mode is available with either a mechanical shutter or a completely silent shooting⁴, adding to the immense flexibility of the camera. The camera can also shoot continuously at up to 8 fps³ in live view mode with minimal lag in the viewfinder or LCD screen.

For added convenience, while large groups of burst images are being written to the memory card, many of the cameras key functions are operable, including access to the ‘Fn’ (Function) and ‘Menu’ buttons, image playback and several other menus and parameters including image rating and other functions that facilitate on-location image sorting.

Additionally, if there is fluorescent or artificial lighting present in a shooting environment, users can activate the Anti-flicker[2] function to allow the α7 III to automatically detect frequency of the lighting and time the shutter to minimise its effect on images being captured. This minimises any exposure or colour anomalies that can sometimes occur at the top and bottom of images shot at high shutter speeds.

High Quality 4K⁶ Video

The new α7 III is an outstanding video camera as well, offering 4K⁶ (3840×2160 pixels) video recording across the full width of the full-frame image sensor. In video mode, the camera uses full pixel readout without pixel binning to collect about 2.4x[1] the amount of data required for 4K movies, and then oversamples it to produce high quality 4K footage with exceptional detail and depth.

An HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma)[2] picture profile is available on the α7 III as well, which supports an Instant HDR workflow, allowing HDR (HLG) compatible TV’s to playback beautiful, true-to-life 4K HDR imagery. Further, both S-Log2 and S-Log3 are available for increased colour grading flexibility, as well as Zebra functionality, Gamma Display assist and proxy recording. The camera can also record Full HD at 120 fps at up to 100 Mbps⁶, allowing footage to be reviewed and eventually edited into 4x or 5x slow motion video files in Full HD resolution with AF tracking.

Upgraded Build, Design and Customisation

Sony’s newest full-frame camera is equipped with a variety of enhanced capabilities that were first implemented in the α9 and then again in the α7R III. These include dual media slots, with support in one slot for UHS-II type SD memory cards. Users have a variety of options for storing their content in each of the cards, including separate JPEG / RAW recording, separate still image / movie recording, relay recording and more. Battery life has been greatly extended as well – with a CIPA measurement of up to 710 shots per charge⁸, it offers the world’s longest⁷ battery life of any Mirrorless camera, as the new camera utilises Sony’s Z series battery NP-FZ100 that offers approximately 2.2 times the capacity of the W series battery NP-FW50 utilised in the α7 II.

The new camera features “My Menu” functionality which allows up to 30 menu items to be registered for instant recall when needed. Users can also apply star ratings to their still images through the camera controls for easier image playback and review, and edit the first three characters of all still image files. Additionally, there is a total of 81 functions that are assignable to 11 custom buttons, and the camera is both dust and moisture resistant[3].

The α7 III features high-resolution, high-contrast, fast-start XGA OLED Tru-Finder™ with approximately 2.3 million dots for extremely accurate, true-to-life detail reproduction. “Standard” or “High” display quality settings are also available for both the viewfinder and monitor as well. It also is capable of seamlessly transferring files to a smartphone, tablet, computer or FTP server via Wi-Fi^®, while also offering a SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.1 Gen 1) USB Type-C™ Terminal for increased flexibility in power supply and faster image transfer speed during tethered shooting.

The α7 III model also comes with Sony’s new software suite “Imaging Edge”, which extends the creative capabilities of the entire shooting process – from pre-processing to post-processing. “Imaging Edge” provides three PC applications called ‘Remote’, ‘Viewer’ and ‘Edit’, available for free download, which support live-view PC remote shooting and RAW development. In the latest Version 1.1, several improvements have been implemented including about 10%[1] faster data transfer speed for remote shooting from PC (PC tether shooting) and approximately 65%[2] improvement in the response speed for RAW image editing. For more information, please visit Imaging Edge support page. www.sony.net/disoft/d/.

The camera is also compatible with a wide variety of Sony E-mount accessories including the BC-QZ1 Battery Charger[3], VG-C3EM Vertical Grip.
