Pasar

Dalam sebuah riwayat menceritakan, pada suatu hari Luqman Al-Hakim telah masuk ke dalam pasar dengan menaiki seekor himar, manakala anaknya mengikut dari belakang.

Melihat tingkah laku Luqman itu, setengah orang pun berkata, “Lihat itu orang tua yang tidak bertimbang rasa, sedangkan anaknya dibiarkan berjalan kaki.” Setelah mendengarkan desas-desus dari orang ramai maka Luqman pun turun dari himarnya itu lalu diletakkan anaknya di atas himar itu.

Melihat yang demikian, maka orang di pasar itu berkata pula,

“Lihat orang tuanya berjalan kaki sedangkan anaknya sedap menaiki himar itu, sungguh kurang ajar anak itu.”

Setelah mendengar kata-kata itu, Luqman pun terus naik ke atas belakang himar itu bersama-sama dengan anaknya.

Kemudian orang ramai pula berkata lagi,

“Lihat itu dua orang menaiki seekor himar, adalah sungguh menyiksakan himar itu.”

Oleh karena tidak suka mendengar percakapan orang, maka Luqman dan anaknya turun dari himar itu, kemudian terdengar lagi suara orang berkata,

“Dua orang berjalan kaki, sedangkan himar itu tidak dikenderai.”sungguh tidak bijak mereka itu”.

Setelah melintas kawasan pasar dan dalam pejalanan pulang ke rumah, Lukman Al-Hakim memecah kesunyian dan berkata kepada anaknya…..

“Wahai anakku amanah Allah, tahukah engkau apakah peristiwa yang kita lalui bersama tadi?”

Lalu anaknyapun menjawab….

“Apa dia ayahku, aku lihat ramai orang di pasar sedang berurus niaga”.

“Itu memang benar anakku…tapi ada lagi urusniaga yang lebih besar yang perlu kamu ketahui, iaitu tentang sikap buruk dan telatah manusia yang terkadang tidak disedari”.

“Sikap buruk?” Tanya anaknya dengan kebingungan….

“Ya….Sesungguhnya seseorang itu tidak terlepas dari memperkatakan manusia atau mengumpat orang lain. Ingatlah anakku….bukti orang yang berakal tiada dia mengambil pertimbangan melainkan kepada Allah saja. Ini bermakna, seseorang hanya menceritakan hal rang lain hanya kerana untuk kebaikan semata-mata. Barang siapa mengenal kebenaran, itulah yang menjadi pertimbangannya dalam tiap-tiap satu.”

PERTABALAN SULTAN PERAK

ISTIADAT PERTABALAN JIN (TABAL JIN)



TABAL JIN adalah merupakan suatu istiadat turun temurun bagi Salahsilah Kesultanan Perak.Cuma di Negeri Perak ini sahaja yang ada istiadat TABAL JIN didalam Tanah Melayu ini. Negeri Perak merupakan salah satu negeri yang tertua dirantau ini dan Sultan yang memerintah biasanya didampingi oleh JIN-JIN Islam. Disini lah kita akan melihat kedaulatan seseorang Sultan itu dimana baginda akan di NOBATKAN dahulu sewaktu hari pertabalan baginda. Istiadat Tabal Jin ini biasanya dilakukan pada sebelah senja/malam dan diterangi hanya oleh dian (lilin) sahaja.


Istiadat TABAL JIN dimulakan dengan paluan NOBAT DIRAJA pada sabelah senja sehari selepas Istiadat TABAL ADAT disempurnakan. Istiadat ini dilakukan pada waktu malam.


Selepas Jejawat Berlembing dan Jejawat Berpayung Ubur serta Jejawat Perempuan, memegang kaki dian dan Bentara Perempuan membawa Perkakas Istiadat Merenjis mengambil tempat masing-masing didalam Balairong Seri didahului oleh Panglima Dalam dan diapit oleh Panglima Perang Kanan dan Panglima Perang Kiri, dan dibelakang nya Pawang DiRaja menatang akan PEDANG CURA SIMANJA KINI, bersama Toh Seri Nara DiRaja menatang PONTOH BERNAGA dan PONTOH ULAR LIDI diatas talam berlapikkan kain kuning dan diikuti olih Sida-Sida. Biduanda-Biduanda menatang PERKAKAS KERAJAN masuk ke Balairong Seri dan diletakkan kesemua diatas meja yang disediakan di iringi dengan paluan NOBAT.


Selepas itu Pawang DiRaja dengan menatang PEDANG CURA SIMANJA KINI dan Toh Seri Nara DiRaja menatang PONTOH BERNAGA dan PONTOH ULAR LIDI keluar dari Balairong Seri didahului oleh Panglima-Panglima masuk ke Kamar Persenangan lalu mempersembahkan kepada Kebawah Duli Paduka Seri Sultan. Baginda kemudian diiringi berangkat ke Balairong Seri dengan iringan paluan NOBAT 'Raja Berangkat'.


Apabila sampai di Singgahsana, Baginda Sultan akan bersemayam diatas 'Chior Keemasan' yang disediakan dihadapan Singgahsana. Kemudian Pawang DiRaja mengadap dan mempersembahkan PEDANG CURA SIMANJA KINI kepada Baginda Sultan yang akan meriba Pedang tersebut. Selepas itu PERKAKAS KERAJAN dibawa mengadap oleh Sida-Sida dan Biduanda-Biduanda kehadapan Baginda Sultan. Kemudian dikuti pula oleh Bentara Toh Ratna Senari dan Bentara Toh Ratna Wati masuk mengadap membawa PERKAKAS ISTIADAT MERENJIS dan dikuti pula oleh Toh Setia Guna (Ketua Nobat) bersama Ahli-Ahli Nobat DiRaja masuk ke Balairong Seri memohon limpah perkenan Baginda untuk meletak PERKAKAS NOBAT DIRAJA ditempat yang telah disediakan. Kemudian 'Istiadat Memulih' PERKAKAS KERAJAN dan PERKAKAS NOBAT DIRAJA dijalankan dan juga 'Merenjis Tepung Tawar'. Satelah selesai bacaan Doa Selamat disempurnakan oleh Sahibul Mufti Kerajaan Negeri Perak.


Satelah selesai upacara 'Memulih Perkakas Kerajan dan Merenjis Tepung Tawar', diikuti pula dengan 'Istiadat Bersiram Tabal' (Mandi Sampat) dimulakan di PANCA PERSADA. Baginda Sultan dan isteri akan berangkat dari Pintu Besar Istana. Pawang DiRaja memulakan 'Istiadat Mengelilingi Balai Panca Persada' sebanyak tujuh kali dan dibantu oleh Bomoh dan Pawang Tempatan dan Bentara-Bentara yang membawa 'Perkakas Merenjis'. Sepanjang keberangkatan Baginda NOBAT dipalu sehingga Baginda bersemayam diatas 'Perterakna Seri Panca Persada'.


Semua Putera dan Puteri baginda akan mengambil tempat di belakang Perterakna serta diringi oleh Y.Bhg.Orang Kaya-Kaya Panglima Kinta Seri Amar DiRaja, Y.Bhg. Orang Kaya-Kaya Panglima Bukit Gantang Seri Amar DiRaja dan Y.Bhg.Orang Kaya-Kaya Imam Paduka Tuan. Istiadat 'Merenjis Tepung Tawar' disempurnakan diikuti dengan bacaan Doa Selamat oleh Sahibul Samahan Mufti Kerajaan Negeri Perak.


Selepas itu 'Upacara Bersiram Tabal' (Mandi Sampat) pula dimulakan oleh Pawang DiRaja sendiri dari awal hingga akhir keatas Perkakas Istiadat Bersiram Tabal. Kain putih direntangkan dan daun nyiur muda bentuk jari lipan ditaruhkan keatas kain putih yang diregang dan dipegang oleh Toh-Toh Puan ditiap-tiap penjuru. Istiadat Bersiram Tabal dimulakan dengan mengambil sebatil GELUK berisi Air Datu dan dicurahkan keatas kain putih sehingga habis Enam Belas Batil GELUK yang berisi air. NOBAT dipalukan sepanjang Istiadat Bersiram Tabal. Satelah selesai Istiadat Bersiram Tabal, Baginda berdua akan menyalin pakaian dan berangkat turun dari Seri Panca Persada berselimut dengan 'Kain Benang Emas Kekuningan', dan diarak balik ke ISTANA.


Satelah menukar kepada Pakaian Kebesaran DiRaja, DYMM Paduka Seri Sultan Perak akan berangkat masuk ke BALAIRONG SERI (NOBAT dipalu) dan bersemayam diatas PETERAKNA SINGGAHSANA. Pawang DiRaja melulakan 'Istiadat Merenjis Air Panca Bicara' keatas PERKAKAS KERAJAN yang sedia ada terletak diatas meja dihadapan Singgahsana, 'Merenjis Tepung Tawar' ketasa Baginda Sultan dan diikuti dengan meletakkan 'BUNGA PENCAWA PENCARA' ditelinga Baginda


Pada waktu istiadat ini NOBAT DIRAJA akan memainkan lagu diantara empat hingga sembilan lagu. Toh Setia Guna (Ketua Nobat) akan memerhatikan gerak geri Paduka Seri Sultan ketika paluan NOBAT dipalukan. Dari sini, kedaulatan seseorang Sultan itu akan dapat d**etahui. Mengikut adat, sekiranya Baginda dapat bertahan lama diatas Singgahsana (iaitu dapat bertahan sehingga tujuh lagu keatas dipalukan oleh NOBAT) ini menunjukkan pertabalan Baginda telah direstui oleh JIN-JIN KERAJAN dan Baginda akan memerintah Negeri Perak ini lama atau pun panjang umur. Akan tetapi sekiranya Baginda hanya dapat bertahan empat atau lima lagu sahaja...petandanya umur Baginda mungkin pendek. Toh Setia Guna akan memberi isyarat kepada Ahli Nobat supaya memberhentikan paluan NOBAT apabila melihat Baginda Sultan dalam keadaan 'resah gelisah' diatas Peterakna Singgahsana.


Sewaktu NOBAT dipalukan, PEDANG CURA SIMANJA KINI akan 'bergerak-gerak' dengan sendirinya (dimana seakan-akan hendak keluar dari sarungnya). Ini menunjukkan JIN KERAJAN berserta dalam ISTIADAT TABAL JIN ini dan merestui pertabalan Baginda. Istiadat TABAL JIN selamat disempurnakan selepas upacara 'SANTAPAN NASI BERASTANOKA' dijalankan dengan bacaan doa selamat.


(Peringatan : Ada pun upacara 'Istiadat Tabal Jin' ini hendaklah disempurnakan mengikut Adat Istiadat Pertabalan yang asalnya....ia itu mengikut cara yang dilakukan dari turun temurun tanpa menukarkan ciri-ciri adat yang asal.... barulah sempurna dan dapat di ketahui sama ada direstui oleh JIN KERAJAN Perak yang akan mendampingi Baginda. Kalau tidak Istiadat Upacara tersebut hanya lah merupakan suatu Istiadat Biasa sahaja.... tiada berkerajan....)

List of Fastest Cars in the World

World's Fastest Cars:

1. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport: 267 mph, 0-60 in 2.4 secs. Aluminum, Narrow Angle 8 Liter W16 Engine with 1200 hp, base price is $2,400,000. Although the Bugatti Veyron lost the title to SSC Ultimate Aero on March 2007, Bugatti challenge the record in Germany on July 10, 2010 with the new 2010 Super Sport Version and the Veyron once again claims the title of the fastest car in the world at 267 mph. The original Bugatti Veyron has a top speed of 253 mph, priced at $1,700,000 and equipped with 1001 hp.

Bugatti Veyron

#2 is a tie at 260 mph!

2. Hennessey Venom GT: 260 mph, 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, has a 6.2-liter LS9 Turbocharged V8 Twin Turbo V8 Engine producing 1200 hp, has a price tag of $950,000. The Venom GT has yet to be tested and proven, but could possibly hit a top speed of 275 mph. This might just be the Veyron Super Sport's closest competitor!

Hennessey Venom GT

Koenigsegg Agera R

2. Koenigsegg Agera R: 260 mph, 0-60 in 2.9 secs. 5.0-liter V8 Engine with twin turbo’s, housing 1099 hp. Base price is $1,600,000. If you're into snow sports, the Agera R can be fitted with a Ski Box as well as winter tires, not that I would take one on a ski trip or anything like that. While the Agera R has a massive theoretical top speed, the current tested top speed is 260 mph. Expect this snow car to be the Bugatti's arch enemy for the next 5 years.

3. SSC Ultimate Aero: 257 mph, 0-60 in 2.7 secs. Twin-Turbo V8 Engine with 1183 hp, base price is $654,400. Tested in March 2007 by Guinness World Records, The SSC Ultimate Aero was the fastest car in the world from March 2007 to July 2010. On March 2011, the Koenigsegg Agera R also surpassed it, forcing this American made car to the #3 spot. Shelby SuperCars will continue their quest to reclaim the fastest car title, and their new SSC Tuatura might do the job (we'll just have to wait).

Facebook sets engineers to work on grown-up search.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Facebook is planning to get serious about its search engine. Sources tipped off reporters this week about Facebook plans to upgrade its search engine and run toward the money that can be gained from optimized search. Tongues are wagging about how, not when, and story headlines are pairing the Facebook plan with thoughts about Google, namely what the search surge can mean as a challenge to Google. Numerous sites that watch both Google and Facebook marvel at the two companies’ opposite moves; of Google moving toward social while Facebook moving toward search.

Bloodhound SSC

The BLOODHOUND Project is the name of an international education initiative focused around a 1,000 mph world land speed record attempt. The team aim to break the land speed record with a pencil-shaped car called BLOODHOUND SSC, powered by a jet engine and a rocket designed to reach 1,000 miles per hour (1,609 km/h). It is being developed and built with the intention of breaking the land speed record by 33%, the largest ever margin.^[1]

If £15 million of sponsorship funding is obtained the construction should be complete by the end of 2012 and the record attempts should take place in 2013 and 2014.

Construction

Full scale model

Engineers produced the scale model which was exhibited at the launch, and will integrate the engineering behind the car into its curriculum, working with design team, led by Chief Engineer Mark Chapman. The car will be built at a site in Bristol.^[7] The site will include an educational centre.^[8] A full scale model was unveiled at the 2010 Farnborough International Airshow,^[9] when it was announced that Hampson Industries would begin to build the rear chassis section of the car in the first quarter of 2011 and that a deal for the manufacture of the front of the car was due. Chief Engineer Mark Chapman says, "We aim to shake down the vehicle on a runway in the UK at the beginning of 2013."

Education

The BLOODHOUND Project is first and foremost an education project designed to inspire future generations to take up careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics by showcasing these subjects in the most exciting way possible.

The engine used :

Development

[edit]Rolls-Royce XG-40

Rolls-Royce began development of the XG-40 technology demonstrator engine in 1984.^[1] Development costs were met by the British government (85%) and Rolls-Royce.^[2]

On 2 August 1985, Italy, West Germany and the UK agreed to go ahead with the Eurofighter. The announcement of this agreement confirmed that France had chosen not to proceed as a member of the project.^[3] One issue was French insistence that the aircraft be powered by the SNECMA M88, in development at the same time as the XG-40.^[4]

[edit]Eurojet EJ200

The Eurojet consortium was formed in 1986 to co-ordinate and manage the project largely based on XG-40 technology. In common with the XG-40, the EJ200 has a three-stage fan with a high pressure ratio, five-stage low-aspect-ratio high-pressure (HP) compressor with active tip-clearance control, a combustor using advanced cooling and thermal protection, and single-stage HP and low-pressure (LP) turbines with PM discs and low-density single crystal blades."^[5] A reheat (i.e., afterburner) system provides thrust augmentation. The variable area final nozzle is a convergent-divergent design. Unusually for an advanced military turbofan, the fan lacks variable stagger inlet guide vanes.^{[citation needed]}

In December 2006, Eurojet completed deliveries of the 363 EJ200s for the Tranche 1 Eurofighters. Tranche 2 aircraft require 519 EJ200s.^[6] As of December 2006, Eurojet was contracted to produce a total of 1,400 engines for the Eurofighter project.^[7]

HAL Tejas

In 2009, Eurojet entered a bid, in competition with General Electric’s F414, to supply a thrust vectoring variant of the EJ200 to power the HAL Tejas.

After evaluation and acceptance of the technical offer provided by both Eurojet and GE Aviation, the commercial quotes were compared in detail and GE Aviation was declared as the lowest bidder. The deal will cover purchase of 99 GE F414 engines. The initial batch will be supplied by GE and the remainder will be manufactured in India under a transfer of technology arrangement.

Emmm...cars?

This morning, i've been thinking...

And horses, mules, and donkeys both to ride and for adornment. And He creates other things you do not know. (Qur'an, 16:8)

The above verse indicates that in addition to the animals mentioned here, people will have various unknown (to them) means of transport. The following verse points to the fact that there will be such mass modes of transport as ships:

A Sign for them is that We carried their families in the laden ship. And We have created for them the like of it, in which they sail. (Qur'an, 36:41-42)

As human beings, we're very materialistic and have all this stuff - furs and cars and diamonds and money.
