Syiling lima sen modal pukau
Gadis kebas beg wanita selepas 'hilang ingatan' di stesen LRT
KUALA LUMPUR : Sekumpulan warga asing dikesan menggunakan syiling lima sen
untuk memukau pengguna Transit Aliran Ringan (LRT ) sebelum melarikan barangan berharga mereka, termasuk wang tunai.
Mulanya syiling lima sen itu dicampak ke lantai sebelum mangsa mengutipnya
lalu menyebabkan mereka tidak sedarkan diri lebih 30 minit.
Dalam kes terbaru kelmarin, seorang wanita langsung tidak sedar beg tangannya dilarikan penjenayah itu selepas mangsa tunduk mengutip syiling di kakinya.
Kejadian pukau itu dilakukan seorang gadis ketika mangsa di Stesen LRT Setiawangsa tanpa disedari orang ramai di kawasan itu.
Dalam kejadian jam 8 malam itu, mangsa yang hanya mahu dikenali, Siti Rabiah, 50-an hanya menyedari kehilangan beg tangannya sebaik tiba ke pintu rumahnya di Taman Keramat Permai.
Menurut Siti Rabiah, dalam kejadian itu, dia yang baru habis bekerja pulang ke rumah menaiki LRT dari Taman Melati sebelum berhenti di Stesen Setiawangsa.
"Sebaik keluar dari gerabak, saya berjalan pulang ke rumah. Tiba-tiba saya terlihat syiling lima sen di lantai sebelum memungutnya.
"Selepas mengambil syiling terbabit saya tiba-tiba menjadi hilang ingatan dan kaku sebelum berjalan meninggalkan stesen LRT berkenaan," katanya.
Sebaik tiba ke rumah setengah jam kemudian, dia sedar beg tangannya hilang.
Seingatnya kali terakhir beg tangan itu di bahu ketika memungut syiling itu sebelum berjalan pulang.
Kata Siti, dia kemudian memberitahu kejadian itu kepada anak saudara yang
mencari beg tangan itu di stesen LRT berkenaan.
Pada jam 10.30 malam, anak saudara menghubungi telefon rumahnya untuk kepastian berhubung telefon bimbit miliknya.
Ini kerana dia melihat seorang wanita berusia awal 20-an dalam keadaan mencurigakan sedang menggunakan telefon bimbit.
"Selepas saya mengesahkan telefon bimbit itu sama dengan telefon saya, dia kemudian mengekori wanita itu yang menaiki Perdana V6.
"Anak saudara saya juga sempat mencatat nombor plat kereta itu," katanya.
Siti Robiah beberapa kali cuba menghubungi nombor telefon itu, tetapi ia dimatikan suspek.
Dia menghantar satu khidmat pesanan ringkas (SMS) mengugut suspek membuat laporan polis jika enggan menyerahkan beg tangan dan telefon bimbitnya kerana nombor plat kereta terbabit sudah diketahui.
"Ternyata idea saya itu berhasil kerana selepas beberapa minit seorang lelaki menghubungi dan meminta saya ke stesen LRT itu.
"Saya bersama empat saudara ke situ, tetapi selepas hampir 15 minit menunggu, suspek gagal dikesan menyebabkan kami berpecah.
"Tiba-tiba seorang lelaki berambut panjang muncul menyerahkan beg tangan dan telefon bimbit itu kepada saya. Dia mendakwa beberapa lelaki menyuruhnya menyerahkan beg itu," katanya yang mendakwa lelaki itu terketar-ketar menggunakan dialek Indonesia.
Siti Rabiah mendapati wang tunainya hanya tinggal RM30 manakala RM200 lagi lesap dan semua dokumen penting diperoleh semula.
How to clean a mouse
Clean a Mouse with White Paper for Smooth Cursor Movements
An illustrated guide about cleaning a slow and sluggish mouse in 2 seconds with just a piece of white paper.
If you are using an external laser or optical mouse with your laptop or desktop computer, you probably know the problems that surface after using the mouse for couple of weeks - the mouse feels sticky or is hard to move especially when you are using it without the mouse pad, the pointer on the screen may not move smoothly with the mouse or jump.
Most of these mouse problem are because of the dust that sticks to the bottom of the mouse surface at points that are in constant touch with the table or the mouse pad - see the red arrows in the above picture - the white circles are actually made from accumulated dust that is disrupting the smooth movements of the mouse.
To solve this problem, hold the mouse over a piece of white paper and gently (but firmly) drag the mouse from the top edge of the paper to the bottom as shown in the picture below.
You will see a trail of grease like substance on the paper - you can also repeat the process sideways - just move the mouse on paper from left to right. You will enjoy using mouse once again as all the wax is transferred from the bottom of the mouse to the paper.
It is advisable that you also clean the grease or wax sticking to your mouse pad or table surface (when not using a pad) atlease once a week. Dip a piece of cloth in mild soap water solution and gently rub - wipe with a clean dry cloth or tissue paper.
The trick is illustrated using Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 with Intellipoint software but should work just perfect with any mouse including those for the Mac.

Info Untuk Pemilik Kereta
Suatu hari anda mengeluh, “Eh, kenapa kereta aku rasa berat semacam je ni?”. Setelah beberapa hari memandu, anda berasa tidak puashati dengan prestasi kereta anda. Lantas anda mengambil keputusan untuk membawa kereta anda ke bengkel dan bertanya kepada mekanik. “Oh, enjin kereta cik ni dah teruk. Nak kena buat full overhaul ni!”, jawab mekanik di bengkel membaiki kereta tersebut bersungguh-sungguh. ”Berapa kos untuk baiki enjin kereta saya ni bang?” ”Semua nak tukar barang-barang dalam enjin yang dah haus ganti dengan yang baru campur upah lebih kurang 900 hingga 1000 ringgit la..”. AWAS, Jangan tertipu! Jika anda memandu dengan cermat dan membuat penyelenggaraan kereta anda secara berkala (servis / tukar minyak enjin bila sudah sampai masanya), enjin kereta anda boleh tahan 15 hingga 20 tahun.
Sebab-sebab anda merasakan kereta anda seolah-olah menjadi berat..
- jangka hayat palam pencucuh (spark plug) sudah tamat (tukar setiap 15,000 km)*
- tepet dalam locker enjin telah lari dari setting asal – buat pelarasan tepet setiap 1 tahun 6 bulan (jika kereta digunakan setiap hari untuk perjalanan jauh) hingga 2 tahun sekali
- penapis minyak petrol (petrol oil filter) tersumbat [minyak tidak dapat flow dengan lancar ke sistem pembakaran enjin (kaburator / suntikan minyak)] – setiap kali anda menukar timing belt, tukar penapis minyak petrol ini sekali.
- enapan karbon yang berlaku di dalam sistem pembakaran enjin telah banyak – cuci karbon setiap 2 tahun sekali (boleh buat di pusat Proton Servis atau rujuk laman web En Azmi - http://www.oilyman.com.my
- brek cakera (disc brake) kereta anda tersangkut ; akibat sistem brek yang tidak pernah diperiksa & diservis - biasanya berlaku kejadian piston brek melekat (brake piston tak release balik disc brake selepas kita menekan brek). Pandu kereta perlahan-lahan (gunakan gear 1 atau gear 2) & anda boleh mendengar bunyi disc brake tersangkut / bergesel ini. Tukar minyak brek setiap 3 atau 4 tahun, brek pad tukar bila dah nak habis. **
- bearing roda @ tayar kereta anda telah rosak. (untuk kereta proton bearing roda kereta akan mula buat hal selepas 8 – 10 tahun usia kereta). Bunyi bising (berdengung) akibat kerosakan bearing roda kereta anda akan kedengaran bila anda memandu pada kelajuan 80km ke atas.
- minyak kotak gear (gear box oil) sudah sampai masa, tukar setiap 2 hingga 3 tahun [plat klac (clutch plate) tukar setiap 3 tahun sekali].
- tekanan angin dalam tayar kereta anda tidak mencukupi
Cerita Pasal Nak ’Lowered’ Kan (Bagi Rendah) Kereta Tukar Adjustable Absorber & Sport Spring.
Untuk kereta proton, jangka hayat sistem suspensi (gantungan) strut absorber (batang penyerap hentak) dan gelung spring adalah sehingga 5 hingga 7 tahun. Ramai di antara kita akan memilih untuk menukar kepada jenis adjustable absorber (penyerap hentak jenis boleh laras contohnya jenama GAB), harga memang mahal.. atau bertukar kepada sport spring (contohnya jenama kimex). Setelah menukar penyerap hentak & gelung spring, ramai antara kita yang tidak berpuashati [rasa lagi keras lah, kereta terasa seperti bumpy (melompat-lompat), lalu kat bonggol tak lepas, tidak selesalah] & akhirnya kembali memakai penyerap hentak & gelung spring proton standard. Untuk mendapatkan set up yang terbaik untuk kereta anda, saya mengesyorkan anda bertanya kepada pakar En Rosli Smart Suspension 019-2309961, kedai En Rosli di Senawang (rujuk http://www.protonclub.com/forumproccv6/viewtopic.php?p=130814&sid=ca3ba79e6c2787e9995ee837e875e98a )
P/S : * Kalau banyak duit tukar palam pencucuh jenis NGK G-Power - http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/products/spark_plugs/gpower.asp (untuk proton harga dlm RM38 1 set – rujuk http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/395653 ). Spark plug jenama Bosch Super 4 tidak disyorkan (pengalaman saya sendiri sudah pakai spark plug Bosch Super 4, lama kelamaan prestasi enjin lagi teruk).

Top Ten Unexplained Phenomena
 Science has the power to harness energy, allow human flight, help cure the sick, and explain much about the world. But as amazing and beneficial as science is, it cannot explain everything. Scientists may never know exactly how the universe began, or help to settle matters of faith. The same is true for the paranormal world. Though science can explain many strange phenomena, some mysteries remain to be solved--often because there is simply not enough information to reach a definitive conclusion. Some of these phenomena may one day be fully understood, as many things that were once mysterious or unexplained (such as the causes of disease) are now common knowledge. 1>The Taos Hum Some residents and visitors in the small city of Taos, New Mexico, have for years been annoyed and puzzled by a mysterious and faint low-frequency hum in the desert air. Oddly, only about 2 percent of Taos residents report hearing the sound. Some believe it is caused by unusual acoustics; others suspect mass hysteria or some secret, sinister purpose. Whether described as a whir, hum, or buzz--and whether psychological, natural, or supernatural--no one has yet been able to locate the sound's origin. 2>Bigfoot For decades, large, hairy, manlike beasts called Bigfoot have occasionally been reported by eyewitnesses across America. Despite the thousands of Bigfoot that must exist for a breeding population, not a single body has been found. Not one has been killed by a hunter, struck dead by a speeding car, or even died of natural causes. In the absence of hard evidence like teeth or bones, support comes down to eyewitness sightings and ambiguous photos and films. Since it is logically impossible to prove a universal negative, science will never be able to prove that creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster do not exist, and it is possible that these mysterious beasts lurk far from prying eyes. 3>Intuition Whether we call it gut feelings, a "sixth sense," or something else, we have all experienced intuition at one time or another. Of course, gut feelings are often wrong (how many times during aircraft turbulence have you been "sure" your plane was going down?), but they do seem to be right much of the time. Psychologists note that people subconsciously pick up information about the world around us, leading us to seemingly sense or know information without knowing exactly how or why we know it. But cases of intuition are difficult to prove or study, and psychology may only be part of the answer. 4>Mysterious Disappearances People disappear for various reasons. Most are runaways, some succumb to accident, a few are abducted or killed, but most are eventually found. Not so with the truly mysterious disappearances. From the crew of the Marie Celeste to Jimmy Hoffa, Amelia Earhart, and Natalee Holloway, some people seem to have vanished without a trace. When missing persons are found, it is always through police work, confession, or accident never by "psychic detectives"). But when the evidence is lacking and leads are lost, even police and forensic science can't always solve the crime. 5>Ghosts From the Shakespeare play "MacBeth" to the NBC show "Medium," spirits of the dead have long made an appearance in our culture and folklore. Many people have reported seeing apparitions of both shadowy strangers and departed loved ones. Though definitive proof for the existence of ghosts remains elusive, sincere eyewitnesses continue to report seeing, photographing, and even communicating with ghosts. Ghost investigators hope to one day prove that the dead can contact the living, providing a final answer to the mystery. 6>Dejà vu Dejà vu is a French phrase meaning "already seen," referring to the distinct, puzzling, and mysterious feeling of having experienced a specific set of circumstances before. A woman might walk into a building, for example, in a foreign country she'd never visited, and sense that the setting is eerily and intimately familiar. Some attribute dejà vu to psychic experiences or unbidden glimpses of previous lives. As with intuition (see #3), research into ,human psychology can offer more naturalistic explanations, but ultimately the cause and nature of the phenomenon itself remains a mystery. 7>UFOs There is no doubt that UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) exist--many people see things in the skies that they cannot identify, ranging from aircraft to meteors. Whether or not any of those objects and lights are alien spacecraft is another matter entirely; given the fantastic distances and effort involved in just getting to Earth from across the universe, such a scenario seems unlikely. Still, while careful investigation has revealed known causes for most sighting reports, some UFO incidents will always remain unexplained. 8>Near-Death Experiences and Life After Death People who were once near death have sometimes reported various mystical experiences (such as going into a tunnel and emerging in a light, being reunited with loved ones, a sense of peace, etc.) that may suggest an existence beyond the grave. While such experiences are profound, no one has returned with proof or verifiable information from "beyond the grave." Skeptics suggest that the experiences are explainable as natural and predictable hallucinations of a traumatized brain, yet there is no way to know with certainty what causes near-death experiences, or if they truly are visions of "the other side." 9>Psychic powers and ESP Psychic powers and extra-sensory perception (ESP) rank among the top ten unexplained phenomena if for no other reason than that belief in them is so widespread. Many people believe that intuition (see #3) is a form of psychic power, a way of accessing arcane or special knowledge about the world or the future. Researchers have tested people who claim to have psychic powers, though the results under controlled scientific conditions have so far been negative or ambiguous. Some have argued that psychic powers cannot be tested, or for some reason diminish in the presence of skeptics or scientists. If this is true, science will never be able to prove or disprove the existence of psychic powers. 10>The Body/Mind Connection Medical science is only beginning to understand the ways in which the mind influences the body. The placebo effect, for example, demonstrates that people can at times cause a relief in medical symptoms or suffering by believing the cures to be effective--whether they actually are or not. Using processes only poorly understood, the body's ability to heal itself is far more amazing than anything modern medicine could create. |

Newborn calf with two heads
This two-headed newborn calf was spotted in village in XinJie,Gongxian. The size of its head only differs slightly, and both its mouths can consume food at the same time. However, it is currently still too weak to stand on its feet.
An expert explained that such a phenomenon occurs once in every million newborn calves. This is because of the fertilized egg's embryo splitting at some instance. Source: NetEase
Imelda Marcos Malaysia
Rosmah layak digelar 'Imelda Marcos Malaysia' kerana tabiat membazirnya
| Azamin Amin Tue | Jul 10, 07 | 12:06:28 AM | |
| KUALA LUMPUR, 10 Julai (Hrkh) - Belum pun reda isu 'hangat' suaminya Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak dikaitkan dengan gambar mendiang Altantuya Shaariibuu, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor menyemarakkan lagi 'api' publisiti dengan sikapnya yang didakwa berbelanja secara mewah dan membazir di luar negara. Perkara ini dibangkitkan oleh Pengarah Strategik KeADILan Saifuddin Nasution dalam laporan akhbar Suara KeADILan terbaru, mendakwa isteri Timbalan Perdana Menteri itu, mempunyai tabiat membeli-belah yang membazir sehingga layak digelar Imelda Marcos Malaysia. April lalu ketika mengikuti Najib ke pameran Biotech di Boston, Rosmah singgah ke Los Angeles, untuk membeli belah pakaian, kasut dan alat-alat mekapnya. "Amat memeranjatkan menurut pegawai-pegawai Kementerian Sains, Teknologi dan Alam Sekitar, yang terlibat dalam rombongan tersebut memaklumkan sebanyak lapan buah kereta diperlukan untuk mengangkut 74 beg barang yang dibeli oleh Rosmah," kata Saifuddin. "Di Boston pula setelah meninjau toko-toko kelas atasan, Rosmah memaklumkan kepada pegawai terbabit, beliau memerlukan 15 buah kereta untuk membawa beg-beg barangan yang dibelinya," katanya. Saifuddin turut mendedahkan sewaktu misi kerajaan ke Jepun, Rosmah tinggal bersama Najib di President Suite, Hotel Imperial Tokyo dengan keluasan bilik tersebut ialah 3,000 kaki persegi, tetapi keesokan hari Rosmah mendakwa tidak dapat tidur kerana mendapat tahu ada bilik yang lebih luas iaitu 4,000 persegi daripada bilik yang diduduki bersama suaminya itu. "Saya rasa dengan tabiat membeli belah secara boros dan membazir serta nafsu besarnya memang layaklah beliau digelar Imelda Rosmah," kata Saifuddin sewaktu mendedahkan di sebuah ceramah di Kulim Jun lalu. Perilaku Rosmah ini jelas seolah-olah menempelak dan melanggar nasihat Perdana Menteri Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dan TPM yang juga suaminya, supaya rakyat jelata berjimat cermat dan berhemah dalam berbelanja.  Sebelum ini, Rosmah mengundang kontroversi dengan aksi manjanya dengan pelakon Bollywood yang mendapat kritikan dan teguran pelbagai lapisan masyarakat yang kecewa dengan sikap isteri pemimpin nombor dua negara yang tidak menjaga batas-batas agama dan memalukan imej seorang wanita muslim. Sewaktu Anugerah Filem India Global (GIFA) 2006 pada 9 Disember tahun lalu yang diadakan di Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil menyaksikan Rosmah selaku penaung festival berlaga pipi dengan aktor kacak Bollywood, Salman Khan. Lebih melucukan, Pemangku yang Dipertua Badan Amal Kebajikan Isteri-isteri Menteri dan Timbalan Menteri (Bakti) dalam sebuah akhbar menyarankan agar para isteri pemimpin perlu menampil imej yang boleh diterima masyarakat sedangkan rata-rata berpendapat Rosmah perlu 'cermin diri' terlebih dahulu sebelum menasihati atau menuding jari kepada pihak lain. - mks. |

Apabila Shah Rukh Khan mengaku jadi duta Islam
Oleh: Noorzila Jamaludin
Sudah tidak adakah seorang Muslim di dunia ini yang boleh dibanggakan, diangkat menjadi contoh serta mewakili ajaran Islam sebenar? Pertanyaan tersebut diutarakan apabila membaca tajuk berita yang disiarkan melalui internet baru baru ini; Saya perlu menegakan kebaikan Islam.
Malah aktor itu juga mengakui dia mewakili seorang ‘Muslim moden’. “Saya mahu orang tahu bahawa Islam bukan sahaja berkaitan menjadi seorang fanatik atau radikal, menjadi orang yang menyimpan rasa marah, dan hanya tahu berjihad. Saya mahu tahu bahawa maksud sebenar jihad adalah mengatasi keganasan dan kelemahan yang terdapat dalam diri seseorang. Jika perlu, ia harus diatasi secara ganas,’ katanya dalam temu bual itu.
