Maaf...

Do'a malaikat Jibril menjelang Ramadhan

"Ya Allah tolong abaikan puasa ummat Muhammad, apabila sebelum memasuki bulan Ramadhan dia tidak melakukan hal-hal yang berikut:
* Tidak memohon maaf terlebih dahulu kepada kedua orang tuanya (jika masih
ada);
* Tidak berma'afan terlebih dahulu antara suami isteri;
* Tidak bermaafan terlebih dahulu dengan orang-orang sekitarnya."

Maka Rasulullah pun mengatakan Amiin sebanyak 3 kali. Dapatkah kita bayangkan, yang berdo'a adalah Malaikat dan yang mengamiinkan adalah Rasullullah dan para sahabat , dan dilakukan pada hari Jumaat.

Oleh itu SAYA TERLEBIH DAHULU INGIN MEMOHON MAAF jika saya ada berbuat kesalahan, baik yang tidak sengaja maupun yang disengajakan , semoga kita dapat menjalani ibadah puasa...

Selamat berpuasa...

Love

from an email....

Love does not need a reason...

Lady: Why do you like me..? Why do you love me?

Man: I can't tell the reason.. but I really like you..

Lady: You can't even tell me the reason... how can you say you like me? How can you say you love me?

Man: I really don't know the reason, but I can prove that I love you.

Lady: Proof? No! I want you to tell me the reason. My friend's boyfriend can tell her why he loves her but not you!

Man: Ok..ok!!! Erm... because you are beautiful, because your voice is sweet,because you are caring, because you are loving, because you are thoughtful, because of your smile, because of your every movements..Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met with an accident and became a vegetable.

The Guy then placed a letter by her side, and here is the content:

Dearest,Because of your sweet voice that I love you...Now can you talk? No!Therefore I cannot love you. Because of your care and concern that I like you.. Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love you.Because of your smile, because of your every movements that I love you.. Now can you smile? Now can you move? No, therefore I cannot love you... If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love you anymore. Do love need a reason? No!Therefore, I still love you... And love doesn't need a reason. " The best >and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen,not touched..but are felt in the heart ."

Naik lagi...

Harga rokok naik lagi!!! arghhhhhhhhh..........
Pak Lah kata naik 60 sen tapi syarikat rokok tak nak cakap berapa sebenarnya diorang nak naikkan. Tapi yang pasti, memang naiklah. Biasalah, bila bab naik rega ni, laju je kan....
Ramai mengeluh...kalau naik 60sen, maknanya dah dekat RM9 rokok. Ada kawan cakap takpe, belum RM10..boleh layan lagi....tahun depan naik lagi....mesti dekat2 RM10 rasanya...boleh layan lagi? Ikan naik harga, ayam naik harga, sayur naik harga, ramai yang sanggup kurangkan makan ikan, jarang-jarang makan ayam dan kekadang makan sayur...rokok? Celik je mata, subuh2 pi'e, capai apa dulu...Rokok....nak pejam mata kala larut malam, benda apa paling akhir menemani sedar...Rokokkkk....Emmm...sanggup ke berhenti? Teringat kata-kata big boss dulu...kempen tak nak...bukan tak nak merokok tapi tak nak berhenti merokok....dannn...memang ramai yang berhenti merokok...berhenti berjalan, berhenti makan, berhenti mengunyah, berhenti minum...bila merokok....haahahahaha

bila dah tak muda...

banyak tanda2 sebenarnya kalau kita nak tau yang kita ni masih muda atau dah tak berapa muda...nak sebut suma, banyak sangat tapi meh bagi beberapa contoh.
* kalau g jalan2 cari makan, kat warong la katakan, bila waiter nak amik order, dah tak tanya..nak makan apa dikkkk? tapi tanya, makan apa kak?
* bila budak2 muda, dalam 20-an, tak i u i u dah dengan kita, tapi panggil akak
* bila anak-anak kecil, tengok je kita terus panggil auntie
* bila kita jawab telefon orang yang tak dikenali (kat office la katakan), terus address kita as puan bukan lagi cik macam dulu....(clear sangat kan suara pun berubah ikut usia)
* bila ikat perut tak makan, nak diet la kononnya, alahai susah bebeno berat nak turun, menandakan kadar metabolisme badan semakin rendah (kadar metabolisme badan menrun apabila usia meningkat)
* bila sakit, demam la contohnya, mak datok..siksanya....macam terok bebeno demam....lembik....

keenam-enam tanda tu, emmmm...semua dah dialami, sedang dialami. tak muda dah lah gamaknya kan...tak muda je, bukan tua....
tapi tak tau lah nak kata camna, dua tahun lagi, masuk 40 tahun. ramai kengkawan takut nak sampai umur ni but seriously speaking, i m looking forward..nak rasa macam mana kehidupan dalam usia 40-an....harapnya lebih baik daripada hidup dalam usia 30-an yang lebih baik daripada usia 20-an, belasan tahun dan kanak-kanak. Aging gracefully...hopefully...

DNA

Masa mula2 keje dulu, tiap kali bila nak tulis story/berita/artikel mengenai DNA/forensik, sah kena tulis panjang2...asid deoksiribonukleik (dioxyribonucleic acid). Jenuh gak la menaip, terkucil gak kekadang jari...
la ni, tak payah dah..tulis DNA je...dengan andaian DNA bukan lagi sesuatu yang pelik. Yalah, zaman beredar, ilmu semakin menebal, begitu juga ilmu mengenai DNA. kalau dulu tak tau apa itu DNA, apa kegunaannya, la ni, rata2 tau dah walaupun tak mendalam. `Terima kasihlah' kepada penjenayah, perogol, `pelewat' dan mereka yang sewaktu dengannya, yang membuatkan ujian DNA ini semakin popular.
Kisah seorang gadis dirogol dan dibunuh dalam bas beberapa tahun lalu, selesai dengan penangkapan penjenayah kejamnya. Tetapi, ceritanya dengan penangkapan penjenayah itu juga, banyak kes rogol bunuh yang selama ini `tersimpan' tanpa penyelesaian kat balai2 polis seluruh negara, terungkai. Berdasarkan ujian DNA yang dibuat, mamat kejam ni rupanya yang buat kes2 dulu jugak, tapi dulu dia tak tertangkap, terlepas....tapi sepandai2 tupai melompat la kan....itu satu contoh keistimewaan ujian DNA...
kisah kematian, kehilangan anak2, adik2 yang semakin menjadi2 kebelakangan ini (yang tak selesai sehingga kini - adik Nurin, Sharlinie..semoga Allah melindungi mereka), ujian DNA menjadi famous lagi. Polis buat pengumuman dulu kononnya nak guna ujian DNA ini dengan kerjasama Interpol bagi mengesan adik Sharlinie. Macam mana ek? Bab tu tak taulah pulak saya macam mana nak menerangkannya...
buat saya sendiri dan rakan2, mungkin artikel dilampirkan ini sedikit-sebanyak boleh memberi sedikit-sebanyak buat ilmu.....



Can DNA Demand a Verdict?
Since 1987, forensic DNA analysis has made appearances in U.S. courtrooms. Originally known as "DNA fingerprinting," this type of analysis is now called "DNA profiling" or "DNA typing" to distinguish it from traditional skin fingerprinting.
Although used in less than one percent of all criminal cases, DNA profiling has helped to acquit or convict suspects in many of the most violent crimes, including rape and murder.

How can DNA be used to identify an individual?
Every single cell in our bodies contains DNA, the genetic material that programs how cells work. 99.9 percent of human DNA is the same in everyone, meaning that only 0.1 percent of our DNA is unique!
Each human cell contains three billion DNA base pairs. Our unique DNA, 0.1 percent of 3 billion, amounts to 3 million base pairs. This is more than enough to provide profiles that accurately identify a person. The only exception is identical twins, who share 100 percent identical DNA.
At a crime scene, DNA is everywhere. It is present in all kinds of evidence collected at the scene, including blood, hair, skin, saliva and semen. Scientists can analyze the DNA in evidence samples to see if it matches a suspect's DNA.


How is forensic DNA analyzed?
On the right, you can see how DNA evidence is collected and analyzed. In the past, DNA analysis required an evidence sample at least the size of a dime. Today's techniques can multiply the DNA, producing millions of copies from tiny amounts of evidence, such as the saliva from a cigarette butt. This approach is also helpful for analyzing poor-quality DNA in evidence samples collected from dirty crime scenes.

If people are blood relatives, is their DNA similar?
Though all people except identical twins have three million bases of unique DNA, blood relatives share more similar DNA than do unrelated individuals. If the DNA profiles from the evidence and a suspect are similar but not identical, blood relatives of the suspect may be investigated further.

What about human error?
Forensic investigators take many precautions to prevent mistakes, but human error can never be reduced to zero. The National Research Council (NRC) recommends that evidence samples be divided into several quantities soon after collection, so that if a mix-up were to occur, there would be backup samples to analyze.
To detect possible contamination of DNA samples during collection or handling, evidence DNA profiles are often compared with those from detectives at the crime scene, the victim, a randomly chosen person or a DNA profile from a database.
The NRC recommends that forensic DNA analysis be conducted by an unbiased outside laboratory that maintains a high level of quality control and a low error rate.

Is DNA evidence alone enough to acquit or convict?
It is easier to exclude a suspect than to convict someone based on a DNA match. The FBI estimates that one-third of initial rape suspects are excluded because DNA samples failed to match.
Forensic DNA is just one of many types of evidence. It is important to examine other clues such as motive, weapon, or additional evidence linking a suspect to the crime scene. The more evidence collected, the less likely it is that samples from a particular suspect were planted, either on purpose or by accident, at the crime scene.

Can DNA evidence exonerate wrongfully convicted prisoners?
The Innocence Project at New York's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law aims to exonerate prisoners wrongfully convicted of crimes. The project uses DNA profiling evidence to support the re-evaluation of criminal cases. But DNA evidence alone is not enough to get a person out of jail: the case must be re-examined by a judge, along with lawyers representing both sides of the case. Since 1992, the Innocence Project has exonerated over 100 prisoners, including eight who were on death row - one of whom was only five days from execution.
Thirty-three states restrict the time for post-trial submission of DNA evidence to six months or less. New York and Illinois, on the other hand, will reconsider cases with compelling DNA evidence regardless of when the trial ended. Unfortunately, the evidence from some cases has been lost or destroyed, making DNA analysis impossible.

Is this technology used appropriately for justice?
DNA profiling can be a powerful tool in criminal investigations. Its success in the courtroom depends upon many factors, including:
Proper handling of evidence
Careful analysis by an unbiased forensic laboratory
Fair and appropriate interpretation of the results
Accurate and effective reporting of results to judges and jurors
When used correctly, DNA profiling is a powerful forensic tool. It can be used to quickly eliminate a suspect, saving time in searches for perpetrators. And it can provide compelling evidence to support a conviction and, most importantly, reduce the chances of a wrongful conviction.
