Bagaimana Menentukan Awal Ramadhan ?

Untuk menentukan awal Ramadhan, ada dua cara yang telah diajarkan oleh Rasulullah SAW, dan telah diajarkan secara smbung-menyambung dari generasi ke generasi oleh silsilah para ulama.
1. Melihat Bulan (ru`yatul hilal)
Iaitu dengan cara memperhatikan terbitnya bulan di hari ke 29 bulan Sya`ban. Pada petang hari saat matahari terbenam di ufuk barat.
Apabila saat itu nampak bulan sabit meski sangat kecil dan hanya dalam waktu yang singkat, maka ditetapkan bahwa mulai malam itu, umat Islam sudah memasuki tanggal 1 bulan Ramadhan.
Jadi bulan Sya`ban umurnya hanya 29 hari bukan 30 hari. Maka ditetapkan untuk melakukan ibadah Ramadhan seperti shalat tarawih, makan sahur dan mulai berpuasa.
2. Ikmal
Menggenapkan umur bulan Sya`ban menjadi 30 hari Tetapi bila bulan sabit awal Ramadhan sama sekali tidak terlihat, maka umur bulan Sya`ban ditetapkan menjadi 30 hari (ikmal) dan puasa Ramadhan baru dilaksanakan lusanya.
Perintah untuk melakukan ru`yatul hilal dan ikmal ini didasari atas perintah Rasulullah SAW dalam hadits riwayat Abu Hurairah ra.:
Puasalah dengan melihat bulan dan berfithr (berlebaran) dengan melihat bulan, bila tidak nampak olehmu, maka sempurnakan hitungan Sya`ban menjadi 30 hari.(HR Bukhari dan Muslim).
Sedangkan metode penghitungan berdasarkan ilmu hisab dalam menentukan awal Ramadhan tidak termasyuk cara yang masyru` karena tidak ada dalil serta isyarat dari Rasulullah SAW untuk menggunakannya.
Ini berbeda dengan penentuan waktu shalat di mana Rasulullah SAW tidak memberi perintah secara khusus untuk melihat bayangan matahari atau terbenamnya atau terbitnya atau ada tidaknya mega merah dan seterusnya.

The first photo...

1. First Photo....
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce took this picture from his workroom in 1826. It represents the world’s earliest-known, permanent photograph from nature.2. First color photograph
The first permanent color photograph, taken by James Clerk Maxwell in 1861. The quality of the photograph, or the quality of the scan of the photograph, but it is difficult to figure out what the subject of the photograph is. With a little research and the fact that James Clerk Maxwell was a Scott, I believe this to be a piece of tartan ribbon.

Road Train : The largest and heaviest road-legal vehicles

Road Train is the largest and heaviest road-legal vehicles in the world, with some configurations topping out at close to 200 tonnes (220 short tons). The majority are between 80 and 120 t (88 and 130 short tons). Two-trailer road trains, or "doubles," are allowed in most parts of Australia, with the exception of some urban areas. Three trailer road trains (triples) operate in western New South Wales, western Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory, with the last three states also allowing AB-Quads (3.5 trailers).

Road trains can be unwieldy, and driving and maneuvering them safely without unduly obstructing traffic is only possible because of the sparse traffic and extremely flat and straight terrain through the Australian outback. Strict regulations also apply regarding licensing and driving experience. The multiple dog-trailers (defined below) are unhooked, the dollys removed and then connected individually to multiple trucks at "assembly" yards when the road train gets close to populated areas.



Road trains are used for transporting all manner of materials, with livestock, fuel, mineral ores and general freight the most common. Their cost-effective transport has played a significant part in the economic development of remote areas, with some communities totally reliant on a regular service.

What are Blood Types?


Everybody has a Blood type. The most common Blood type classification system is the ABO system discovered and defined by Karl Landsteiner in the early 1900s. There are four types of Blood in the ABO system: A, B, AB, and O. Your Blood type is established before you are born, by specific genes inherited from your parents. You receive one gene from your mother and one gene from your father; these two combine to establish your Blood type. These two inherited genes determine your Blood type by making proteins called agglutinogens exist on the surface of each red Blood cell in your body. Blood test results are important in Blood disorders in Blood test and Blood tests with Rare Blood types.

There are three alleles (variations) of the Blood type gene: A, B, and O. Since we all have two copies of these genes in our Blood, there are six possible combinations; AA, BB, OO, AB, AO, and BO. These combinations are referred to as genotypes, and they describe the genes you got from your parents.

In addition to the proteins existing on your red Blood cells, other genes make proteins called agglutinins that circulate in your Blood plasma. Agglutinins are protectors of our bodies and are responsible for ensuring that only the Blood cells of our own particular Blood type exist in our bodies.


AB
People with Blood type AB negative (1/2% of the population) and AB positive are potential universal plasma donors. This means plasma can be transfused to people having all Blood types.

AB +
People with Blood type AB positive comprise 3-1/2% of the population. People with this type of Blood are universal recipients. This means that they can be transfused with any type of Blood in emergency situations.
Facts about Blood Types with charts about Blood Types and Blood type information

O +
O positive donors are needed more frequently than any other donor. Because O positive is the most common Blood type (39% of the population), it is needed more often by people requiring Blood in hospitals.
Facts about Blood Types with charts about Blood Types and Blood type information

O -
7% of the population has O negative Blood. People with O negative donors are potential universal red Blood cell donors. This means that their red Blood cells can be transfused to patients with all types of Blood.
Facts about Blood Types with charts about Blood Types and Blood type information

Simply put, your Blood is tested for ABO/Rh. These tests identify your 'Blood type.' You may have A, B, O, or AB type Blood and may be either Rh+ or Rh-. The basis of the Blood group tests is the ability to detect specific substances, or antigens, on the red Blood cells. The A antigen is on type A cells; the B antigen is on type B cells. If neither A nor B antigens are detected, the donor has type O Blood; if both are present, the donor has type AB Blood. If the major Rh antigen is present, the donor is Rh+ (for example, O+, A+, B+, or AB+); if not, the donor is Rh- (O-, A-, B-, or AB-).

There are more than 600 other antigens that have now been identified on red Blood cells. These sub-types are important, but often not considered.

Sick Husband ...

A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office.
After the check-up, the doctor took the wife aside and said, "If you don't do the following, your husband will surely die".

1.Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast and send him off to work in a good mood.

2.At lunch time, make him a warm, nutritious meal and put him in a good frame of mind before he goes back to work.


3.For dinner, fix an especially nice meal, and don't burden him with household chores.

4.Have sex with him several times a week and satisfy his every whim.

On the way home, the husband asked his wife what the doctor had told her.

"You're going to die," she replied.

A man asked his doctor if he thought he'd live to be a hundred.

The doctor asked the man, "Do you smoke or drink?"

"No," he replied, "I've never done either."

"Do you gamble, drive fast cars, and fool around with women?" inquired the doctor.

"No, I've never done any of those things either."

"Well then," said the doctor, "what do you want to live to be a hundred for?"

Heart Bypass Surgery


What is coronary artery bypass surgery?

This is a type of heart surgery. It's sometimes called CABG ("cabbage"). The surgery reroutes, or "bypasses," blood around clogged arteries to improve blood flow and oxygen to the heart.

Why is this surgery done?

The arteries that bring blood to the heart muscle (coronary arteries) can become clogged by plaque (a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances). This can slow or stop blood flow through the heart's blood vessels, leading to chest pain or a heart attack. Increasing blood flow to the heart muscle can relieve chest pain and reduce the risk of heart attack.

How is coronary bypass done?

Surgeons take a segment of a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body and make a detour around the blocked part of the coronary artery.

  • An artery may be detached from the chest wall and the open end attached to the coronary artery below the blocked area.
  • A piece of a long vein in your leg may be taken. One end is sewn above the blocked area and the other end of the vein is attached or "grafted" to the coronary artery below the blocked area.
  • Either way, blood can use this new path to flow freely to the heart muscle.

A patient may undergo one, two, three or more bypass grafts, depending on how many coronary arteries are blocked.

Cardiopulmonary bypass with a pump oxygenator (heart-lung machine) is used for most coronary bypass graft operations. This means that besides the surgeon, other surgical staff members include a cardiac anesthesiologist, surgical nurses, and a perfusionist (blood flow specialist).

During the past several years, more surgeons have started performing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB). In it, the heart continues beating while the bypass graft is sewn in place. In some patients, OPCAB may reduce intraoperative bleeding (and the need for blood transfusion), renal complications and postoperative neurological deficits (problems after surgery).

Puisi Lama : Dunia kepayahan...

Crew Horse Power telah menjumpai satu puisi lama terbitan buletin Johnson di dalam sebuah locker kepunyaian seorang crew Jabatan Kejuruteraan yang namanya dirahsiakan... Untuk mengembalikan nostalgia lama HP Blogs dengan besar hati menyiarkan kembali puisi warisan yang bertajuk....

DUNIA KEPAYAHAN

Satu demi satu
Terbang ditiup angin
Satu demi satu
Datang entah dari mana
Mendokong seribu harapan
Namun niat tidak tercapai
Dulu di sini bagai siang yang ceria
Penuh dengan warna-warna kegembiraan
Kini bagaikan kabus melindungi penglihatan
Di sini hanya segelintir yang berusaha
Tetapi masih ramai bertradisi lama
Namun aku masih di sini
Di dalam dunia kepayahan
Kerana di dada ini masih ada keikhlasan
Jauh dari noda yang hina….

Nukilan : ’85’

What is inflation?

Inflation is the rate of increase in the level of prices for goods and services, which affects the purchasing value of money.

In the UK the most well-known and detailed measure of inflation is the Retail Prices Index. The rate of inflation is expressed as a percentage and is published every month. The National Statistics Office define it as 'an average measure of change in the prices of goods and services bought for the purpose of consumption by the vast majority of households in the UK'.*

Why is inflation such a problem?

Inflation is a bit like rust. At first you hardly notice it, then gradually it builds up and starts to corrode your savings. Although inflation isn't as high as it was in the 1970s and 1980s,* it still has the power to erode the value of an investment. So any money you invest has to grow by at least the rate of inflation just to stop its purchasing power from falling. You should also consider the charges on any investment you make, which can also eat into the value of your investment.

Could you give me a simple example?
Let's imagine inflation at 4%. It doesn't seem like much, but it means that in 10 years the purchasing power of £1000 will fall to only £676 in today's

Snake house of death shocker


Almost all of the 70 snakes at the snake farm at the Ulu Bendul Forest Reserve near here have died in the past few months.
The dead snakes are believed to include a green anaconda from Brazil, which made the headlines in May when it gave birth to 13 offspring.

The anaconda was one of a pair that had arrived at the snake farm at the Ulu Bendul Forest Reserve here in March.

It is believed all the anacondas, including the babies, have died.

Among the snakes at the farm were six red-tailed boa imported from Brazil and a Burmese python from Myanmar.

Others included the blood python, Borneo short-tailed python, Amazon tree boa, Columbia boa, Brazillian rainbow boa, Albino Burmese python, Indian python and the Bolivian anaconda.

The Miracle of Engineering 2

The biggest ship in the world a semi-submersible heavy-lift ship, or also known as a "flo/flo" (for float-on/float-off), has a long and low well deck between a forward pilot house and an after machinery space.
Used for the heaviest, and biggest of things needing transport.
Semi-submersible ships are the only vessels in the world which provide the capability to load, transport and offload extremely heavy cargo, such as oil drilling rigs, gas refineries or even warships.



Its ballast tanks can be flooded to lower the well deck below the water's surface, allowing oil platforms, other vessels, or other floating cargo to be moved into position for loading.

The Miracle of Engineering 1

The biggest Wind Farm in the world called "Horns Rev" located 20km from the cost of Denmark. There are 80 turbines with 110 tall each and capable to produce 160MW.



Horns Rev uses Vestas V80 2MW turbines, which have an 80m rotor diameter and 70m hub height, and weigh between 439 and 489t each. The wind farm generates enough electricity for 150,000 private homes, or nearly 2% of Denmark's total electricity consumption. It cost DKK2bn (about €270m).

The Horns Rev site stretches over 20km², with 560m between each turbine. The Vestas turbines have a cut-in wind speed of 4m/s, reaching full power at 13m/s and cutting out at 25m/s. Expected annual output is 600,000,000kWh.

Horns Rev represents the first phase of Danish efforts to produce non-polluting electricity from offshore wind turbines. The Danish government has said it would like to see the country's offshore wind turbines producing about 4,000MW of electricity by 2030. In Sweden, the government similarly hopes to increase wind power capacity significantly over the next ten to 15 years.

USA & European countries banned on OREO cookies consumption!!!


OREO CONTAINING TRANS FAT BRINGS DAMAGES TO HEALTH

An attorney from California filed a lawsuit against Krafts, stating that OREO produced by the
company not only causes damages in health, but also dishonestly promote their products;
requesting the company to halt the sales of OREO in the market.

OREO contains hydrogenated oil or Trans fats, to prolong the storage of the biscuit, but at
the mean time increase the consumption of BAD CHOLESTEROL, increasing the possibility
of diabetes and heart disease.

INCREASE IN CONSUMPTION OF CHOLESTEROL

Although the research on Trans Fats affecting health has not been concluded,
the national institute of science research states that any amount of Trans Fats consumed is not safe.

Solar Eclipse on August 1, 2008

The solar eclipse that took place on August 1, 2008 was a total eclipse of the Sun with a magnitude of 1.039 that was visible from a narrow corridor through northern Canada (Nunavut), Greenland, central Russia, eastern Kazakhstan, western Mongolia and China. It belonged to the so-called midnight sun eclipses, as it was visible from regions experiencing midnight sun.
In Siberia, the total eclipse zone passed through populated places, including the "capital of Siberia" Novosibirsk, and the cities of Nizhnevartovsk, Barnaul and Biysk. The greatest eclipse duration was reached near the town of Nadym in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in Northern Siberia.
A partial eclipse could be seen from the much broader path of the Moon's penumbra, including eastern North America and most of Europe and Asia.

SOLAR ECLIPSES: WHY ECLIPSES HAPPEN

Solar eclipses happen when the Moon blocks the light from the Sun
During a total solar eclipse, the sky appears as dark as night, and you can see the Sun's glowing corona

A solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, the Moon and the Earth all line up. The Moon blocks the light of the Sun, and casts a shadow on the Earth.


TYPES OF ECLIPSE

  1. Partial - A partial eclipse happens when the Moon passes in front of the Sun, but does not cover it completely
  2. Total - A total eclipse occurs when the Moon covers the Sun completely. Only a small region of the Earth will see a total eclipse, but observers in the nearby regions see a partial eclipse.
  3. Annular - If the Moon is further away from the Earth than normal, then it will not appear large enough in the sky to cover the Sun. The Sun appears as a ring with a dark centre.
  4. Hybrid - A hybrid eclipse is one which appears as a total eclipse in some parts of the world, and as an annular eclipse in others.

Amazing Facts About The Human Body ( 11~15 )

11. In 30 minutes, the average body gives off enough heat (combined) to bring a half gallon of water to boil.
12. A single human blood cell takes only 60 seconds to make a complete circuit of the body.
13. A foreskin, the size of a postage stamp, from circumcised babies take only 21 days to grow skin that can cover three (3) basketball courts. Amazing isn’t it. Thanks to science. The laboratory-grown skin is used in treating burn patients.
14. The eyes receive approximately 90 percent of all our information, making us basically visual creatures.
15. The female ovaries contain nearly half-a-million egg cells, yet only 400 or so will ever get the opportunity to create a new life.

Amazing Facts About The Human Body ( 6~10 )

6. The largest organ in the body is the skin. In an adult man it covers about 1.9m2 (20sq ft). The skin constantly flakes away - in a lifetime each person sheds around 18kg (40 lb) of skin.
7. When you sleep, you grow by about 8mm (0.3in). The next day you shrink back to your former height. The reason is that your cartilage discs are squeezed like sponges by the force of gravity when you stand or sit.
8. The average person in the west eats 50 tonnes of food and drinks 50,000 litres (11,000 gallons) of liquid during his life.
9. Each kidney contains 1 million individual filters. They filter an average of around 1.3 litres (2.2 pints) of blood per minute and expel up to 1.4 litres (2.5 pints) a day of urine.
10. The focusing muscles of the eyes move around 100,000 times a day. To give your leg muscles the same workout, you would need to walk 80km (50 miles) every day.

Amazing Facts About The Human Body ( 1~5 )

  1. The stomach’s digestive acids are strong enough to dissolve zinc. Fortunately for us, the cells in the stomach lining renew so quickly that the acids don’t have time to dissolve it.
  2. The lungs contain over 300,000 million capillaries (tiny blood vessels). If they were laid end to end, they would stretch 2400km (1500 miles).
  3. A man’s testicles manufacture 10 million new sperm cells each day - enough that he could repopulate the entire planet in only 6 months!
  4. Human bone is as strong as granite in supporting weight. A block of bone the size of a matchbox can support 9 tonnes - that is four times as much as concrete can support.
  5. Each finger and toenail takes six months to grow from base to tip.
