032 - Terima slip 5A depan jenazah ibu

SEREMBAN: Tidak seperti murid tahun enam lain yang kegirangan ketika menerima keputusan cemerlang 5A Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR), Siti Amynur Ain Putri Rosdy, kesedihan menerima keputusan itu di hadapan jenazah ibunya.

Apabila keputusan UPSR diumumkan di pejabat Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Dusun Nyior kelmarin, Siti Amynur Ain Putri berada di surau rumah rakyat Taman Dusun Nyior untuk membantu kaum keluarga yang lain menguruskan jenazah ibunya, Rusmah Abdullah, 47, yang meninggal dunia akibat tekanan darah rendah pada tengah malam Rabu, selepas terlantar di wad hospital selama dua minggu.

Berderai air mata Siti Amynur Ain Putri dan kaum keluarga yang lain apabila guru besar sekolah itu, Noreha Adam menyampaikan keputusan ke tangan pelajar itu sendiri di hadapan tubuh kaku ibunya beberapa minit sebelum solat jenazah dimulakan pada jam 11.30 pagi semalam.

“Saya sedih sangat, ibu tidak dapat melihat keputusan ini. Ibu selalu berpesan ketika hidup bahawa saya ini harapan dia, ayah pula sudah meninggal dunia empat tahun lalu,” kata Siti Amynur Ain Putri dengan linangan air mata.

Pelajar itu kini hidup yatim piatu bersama abangnya yang berusia 14 tahun.


Selepas ayahnya meninggal dunia akibat sakit tibi, ibu Siti Amynur Ain Putri bekerja sebagai pencuci di sebuah hotel bajet rendah di Seremban dengan pendapatan RM500 sebulan.

Pada April lalu, ibunya terpaksa berhenti kerja apabila pelajar itu mengalami kemalangan sehingga patah kaki dan keluarga itu terpaksa hidup dengan bantuan kewangan RM400 sebulan.

Setiap hari selepas berhenti kerja, ibunya akan berjalan kaki sejauh satu kilometer untuk menghantar nasi bungkus kepada Siti Amynur Ain Putri kerana pelajar itu tidak balik rumah untuk menunggu kelas bimbingan UPSR.

Guru besar Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Dusun Nyior, yang terkejut ketika dimaklumkan ibu Siti Amynur Ain Putri meninggal dunia, berkata: “Siti adalah ketua murid di sekolah kami. Kami tahu dia akan mendapat keputusan cemerlang. Pagi-pagi saya sudah ke Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah untuk mengambil keputusan (UPSR) seawal mungkin.

“Saya nekad untuk mendapat keputusan cepat dan sampaikan sendiri ke tangan Siti sebelum jenazah ibunya dikebumikan di tanah perkuburan Makam Tuan Haji Said,” katanya.

Beliau dengan ditemani seorang guru hampir sahaja terlewat dan Noreha tidak putus-putus berdoa supaya Siti Amynur Ain Putri menerima berita baik di sebalik ujian berat yang menimpa pelajar itu.

Ketika menyampaikan keputusan itu ke tangan murid tahun enam itu, Noreha berkata suasana sangat hiba dan puluhan orang termasuk ahli surau terdiam tetapi beliau mengumpul semangat untuk memberitahu kepada murid itu: “Ibu tentu tahu Siti mendapat keputusan cemerlang.”

Noreha, yang berpengalaman dalam bidang perguruan selama 24 tahun, kini berusaha membantu Siti Amynur Ain Putri mendapat tempat di sekolah berasrama penuh.

“Siti tabah orangnya, kami tidak tahu pun ibunya dimasukkan ke wad,” katanya.- Bernama

028 - Apa itu Flu Babi?

Aku ke hospital bberapa minggu yang lepas angkara suspek 1 kelas disyaki FLU BABI. So ak nak advertise ckit FLU BABI nie..

Apa itu H1N1?
Viral novel influenza type A H1N1. Ianya berasal dari virus avian flu
(selsema burung H5N1) yang telah menjangkiti babi/khinzir dan telah bergabung dengan swine flu (yang sepatutnya hanya menjangkit ternakan babi) dan telah evolusi (mutasi) untuk penyesuaian diri di dalam 'host' yang lebih tinggi di dalam rantaian makanan @ manusia dan semasa di dalam badan manusia, sekali lagi ia berevolusi supaya ia menjadi 'air borne' dan menjangkit dari manusia kepada manusia.

Jangka Hayat Virus
Oleh kerana ia adalah virus yang air borne, ia hanya boleh bertahan di udara selama 2 hingga 8 jam. Jika selepas tempoh tersebut ia tidak mendapat perumah @ host
(badan manusia) ia akan mati. maka bilik yang dibiarkan selama 24 jam dengan 'air ventilation' yang baik akan 'bersih' dari virus tersebut.

Apa Yang Perlu Tahu
Asal virus ini sebenarnya telah terdapat outbreak di US sebelum terjadi outbreak di Mexico tetapi tidak dilaporkan kepada WHO. Kemungkinan outbreak ini telah dikesan dan US mahu 'baling batu sembunyi tangan' lalu tercetus la outbreak di Mexico.

Virologi Virus H1N1
Incubation period yang singkat pada purata 2 hari dengan julat 1 - 4 hari. Ini bermakna ia cepat menyerang badan manusia setelah ia menjangkit pesakit. Pesakit akan menunjukkan simptom selepas 1 hari dijangkit paling cepat dan selewat-lewatnya hari ke-4.

H1N1 sebenarnya adalah selsema biasa namun kepada pesakit yang berisiko, ia dapat membunuh. Jika pesakit adalah seorang yang normal, ia hanya akan memberi kesan seperti demam selsema biasa dan batuk.

Cara Serangan
Virus ini boleh disebarkan melalui batuk, bersin dan percakapan. Virus ini akan menyerang sistem pernafasan
(seperti selsema burung dan SARS). Peringkat awal, ia hanya pada 'trakea' jika tidak mendapat rawatan awal, ia akan menyerang paru-paru dan boleh menyebabkan kematian akibat 'lung collapse'. Ia amat merbahaya kepada golongan yang berisiko tinggi.

Siapa Yang Berisiko?
1. Orang yang ada masalah 'obesiti' @ gemuk
2. Perempuan yang mengandung
3. Orang yang ada asma
4. Orang-orang yang bermasalah dengan sistem imunisasi (menjalani operation yang besar, kanak-kanak yang belum cukup suntikan imunisasi, golongan-golongan yang rendah tahap imuniti eg. HIV ext.)
* Kematian yang telah dilaporkan terdiri daripada golongan-golongan di atas

Simptom-simptom
Hari 1 : Rasa kurang sihat, tak bermaya
Hari 2 : Selsema, batuk dan demam yang kekal (demam tidak turun walaupun telah makan ubat demam)
Hari 3 : Rasa kurang selesa di bahagian dada dan sesak nafas
Hari 4 : sakit dada yang teruk..jumpa doktor dengan segera
Hari 5 & seterusnya : Lung collapse @ koma

Langkah-langkah Kawalan
1. Golongan-golongan yang berisiko, elakkan daripada kesesakan (kawasan yang padat dengan orang ramai)

2. Menjaga kebersihan diri, basuh tangan selalu dan dengan betul, jaga kebersihan rumah dan persekitaran

3. Elakkan diri jika terdapat 'orang batuk, bersin dan kurang sihat'

4. Jika kurang sihat, elakkan diri dari beraktiviti (sosial dan berkumpulan)

5. Jika kurang sihat dan ada ILI ( influenza light illness @ selsema biasa) jangan hadirkan diri di kawasan orang ramai. Jika terpaksa, pakai 'mask' (sekurang-kurangnya 3 ply mask)

6. Untuk org yang sihat, elakkan dari kawasan yang padat.

7. Jika ada tanda-tanda simptom di atas, segera ke hospital untuk pemeriksaan dan rawatan

8. Jika sihat, jangan ke hospital atau klinik untuk 'checkup' kerana di kawasan tersebut mengandungi banyak virus.

9. Tak perlu ambil anti-viral @ apa-apa ubat influenza!! Jika sihat dan mengambilnya, akan mengakibatkan resistan kepada vaksin @ ubat-ubat untuk merawat jika terkena jangkitan. Ini adalah kerana berlakunya resistansi virus terhadap persekitaran badan yang telah mengambil ubat-ubat tersebut terlebih awal.

10. Vaksin hanya akan wujud seawal-awalnya pada oktober dan hanya untuk 'frontliner' sahaja dan untuk awam selewat-lewatnya pada 2010.

11. Untuk makluman, influenza test hanya dijalankan di 2 makmal sahaja di Malaysia. Mengambil masa 6 jam untuk run test kepada 1 batch sample. Jika klinik menyatakan mereka boleh jalankan ujian, itu tidak betul. Tak perlu ambil suntikan seasonal influenza kerana ia tidak berkaitan.

12. Tahap kesedaran dan pengetahuan yang tinggi amat perlu untuk kita sama-sama menghadapi outbreak ini. Sama-samalah kita berdoa kepada ALLAH s.w.t agar bala ini cepat berlalu.

Amin.

021 - Lagu baru Hujan

hujan


Mencari Konklusi


Belum tersimpul mati
Ikatan itu ku buka sendiri
Terus bertempiaran
Jutaan huraian
Ku takkan mengerti

Teka silangkata
Membuat parah menambah persoalannya
Aku tak pasti yang kita hadapi
Yang kita semua cari

Coba tenang seketika
Coba pejam mata
Biar resah hilang saja
Dan coba diamnya bicara
Sediam bersama
Di temani jasad kita
Kan ku cari konklusi

Sangkar Besi Hatiku


Obsesi


Tak sabar ku tuggu hujung minggu
Ku saksiakan kugiran kegemaranku
Melodi kah yang slalu ku tunggu
Ku saksikan kugiran kegemaranku

Obsesi, Obsesi!

Ku tunggu irama kuasa raya
Warna warni pelbagai gaya
Dilantai dansa inilah oh tempatku
ku saksikan kugiran kegemaranku

Obsesi , Obsesi

Orang Muda
Tak ada yang dapat di duga
Org muda
Masa depan di tangan mereka
dah namanya muda (3x)
akan mati juga

Obsesi, Obsesi!

008 - Sape erk Top 10 Hacker selama nie

Black Hat Hackers
The Internet abounds with hackers, known as crackers or "black hats," who work to exploit computer systems. They are the ones you've seen on the news being hauled away for cybercrimes. Some of them do it for fun and curiosity, while others are looking for personal gain. In this section we profile five of the most famous and interesting "black hat" hackers.

Jonathan James:
James gained notoriety when he became the first juvenile to be sent to prison for hacking. He was sentenced at 16 years old. In an anonymous PBS interview, he professes, "I was just looking around, playing around. What was fun for me was a challenge to see what I could pull off."

James's major intrusions targeted high-profile organizations. He installed a backdoor into a Defense Threat Reduction Agency server. The DTRA is an agency of the Department of Defense charged with reducing the threat to the U.S. and its allies from nuclear, biological, chemical, conventional and special weapons. The backdoor he created enabled him to view sensitive emails and capture employee usernames and passwords.

James also cracked into NASA computers, stealing software worth approximately $1.7 million. According to the Department of Justice, "The software supported the International Space Station's physical environment, including control of the temperature and humidity within the living space." NASA was forced to shut down its computer systems, ultimately racking up a $41,000 cost. James explained that he downloaded the code to supplement his studies on C programming, but contended, "The code itself was crappy . . . certainly not worth $1.7 million like they claimed."

Given the extent of his intrusions, if James, also known as "c0mrade," had been an adult he likely would have served at least 10 years. Instead, he was banned from recreational computer use and was slated to serve a six-month sentence under house arrest with probation. However, he served six months in prison for violation of parole. Today, James asserts that he's learned his lesson and might start a computer security company.


Adrian Lamo:
Lamo's claim to fame is his break-ins at major organizations like The New York Times and Microsoft. Dubbed the "homeless hacker," he used Internet connections at Kinko's, coffee shops and libraries to do his intrusions. In a profile article, "He Hacks by Day, Squats by Night," Lamo reflects, "I have a laptop in Pittsburgh, a change of clothes in D.C. It kind of redefines the term multi-jurisdictional."

Lamo's intrusions consisted mainly of penetration testing, in which he found flaws in security, exploited them and then informed companies of their shortcomings. His hits include Yahoo!, Bank of America, Citigroup and Cingular. When white hat hackers are hired by companies to do penetration testing, it's legal. What Lamo did is not.

When he broke into The New York Times' intranet, things got serious. He added himself to a list of experts and viewed personal information on contributors, including Social Security numbers. Lamo also hacked into The Times' LexisNexis account to research high-profile subject matter.

For his intrusion at The New York Times, Lamo was ordered to pay approximately $65,000 in restitution. He was also sentenced to six months of home confinement and two years of probation, which expired January 16, 2007. Lamo is currently working as an award-winning journalist and public speaker.


Kevin Mitnick:
A self-proclaimed "hacker poster boy," Mitnick went through a highly publicized pursuit by authorities. His mischief was hyped by the media but his actual offenses may be less notable than his notoriety suggests. The Department of Justice describes him as "the most wanted computer criminal in United States history." His exploits were detailed in two movies: Freedom Downtime and Takedown.

Mitnick had a bit of hacking experience before committing the offenses that made him famous. He started out exploiting the Los Angeles bus punch card system to get free rides. Then, like Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, dabbled in phone phreaking. Although there were numerous offenses, Mitnick was ultimately convicted for breaking into the Digital Equipment Corporation's computer network and stealing software.

Mitnick's mischief got serious when he went on a two and a half year "coast-to-coast hacking spree." The CNN article, "Legendary computer hacker released from prison," explains that "he hacked into computers, stole corporate secrets, scrambled phone networks and broke into the national defense warning system." He then hacked into computer expert and fellow hacker Tsutomu Shimomura's home computer, which led to his undoing.

Today, Mitnick has been able to move past his role as a black hat hacker and become a productive member of society. He served five years, about 8 months of it in solitary confinement, and is now a computer security consultant, author and speaker.


Kevin Poulsen:
Also known as Dark Dante, Poulsen gained recognition for his hack of LA radio's KIIS-FM phone lines, which earned him a brand new Porsche, among other items. Law enforcement dubbed him "the Hannibal Lecter of computer crime."

Authorities began to pursue Poulsen after he hacked into a federal investigation database. During this pursuit, he further drew the ire of the FBI by hacking into federal computers for wiretap information.

His hacking specialty, however, revolved around telephones. Poulsen's most famous hack, KIIS-FM, was accomplished by taking over all of the station's phone lines. In a related feat, Poulsen also "reactivated old Yellow Page escort telephone numbers for an acquaintance who then ran a virtual escort agency." Later, when his photo came up on the show Unsolved Mysteries, 1-800 phone lines for the program crashed. Ultimately, Poulsen was captured in a supermarket and served a sentence of five years.

Since serving time, Poulsen has worked as a journalist. He is now a senior editor for Wired News. His most prominent article details his work on identifying 744 sex offenders with MySpace profiles.


Robert Tappan Morris:
Morris, son of former National Security Agency scientist Robert Morris, is known as the creator of the Morris Worm, the first computer worm to be unleashed on the Internet. As a result of this crime, he was the first person prosecuted under the 1986 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

Morris wrote the code for the worm while he was a student at Cornell. He asserts that he intended to use it to see how large the Internet was. The worm, however, replicated itself excessively, slowing computers down so that they were no longer usable. It is not possible to know exactly how many computers were affected, but experts estimate an impact of 6,000 machines. He was sentenced to three years' probation, 400 hours of community service and a fined $10,500.

Morris is currently working as a tenured professor at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. He principally researches computer network architectures including distributed hash tables such as Chord and wireless mesh networks such as Roofnet.



White Hat Hackers
Hackers that use their skills for good are classified as "white hat." These white hats often work as certified "Ethical Hackers," hired by companies to test the integrity of their systems. Others, operate without company permission by bending but not breaking laws and in the process have created some really cool stuff. In this section we profile five white hat hackers and the technologies they have developed.

Stephen Wozniak:
"Woz" is famous for being the "other Steve" of Apple. Wozniak, along with current Apple CEO Steve Jobs, co-founded Apple Computer. He has been awarded with the National Medal of Technology as well as honorary doctorates from Kettering University and Nova Southeastern University. Additionally, Woz was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in September 2000.

Woz got his start in hacking making blue boxes, devices that bypass telephone-switching mechanisms to make free long-distance calls. After reading an article about phone phreaking in Esquire, Wozniak called up his buddy Jobs. The pair did research on frequencies, then built and sold blue boxes to their classmates in college. Wozniak even used a blue box to call the Pope while pretending to be Henry Kissinger.

Wozniak dropped out of college and came up with the computer that eventually made him famous. Jobs had the bright idea to sell the computer as a fully assembled PC board. The Steves sold Wozniak's cherished scientific calculator and Jobs' VW van for capital and got to work assembling prototypes in Jobs' garage. Wozniak designed the hardware and most of the software. In the Letters section of Woz.org, he recalls doing "what Ed Roberts and Bill Gates and Paul Allen did and tons more, with no help." Wozniak and Jobs sold the first 100 of the Apple I to a local dealer for $666.66 each.

Woz no longer works full time for Apple, focusing primarily on philanthropy instead. Most notable is his function as fairy godfather to the Los Gatos, Calif. School District. "Wozniak 'adopted' the Los Gatos School District, providing students and teachers with hands-on teaching and donations of state-of-the-art technology equipment."


Tim Berners-Lee:
Berners-Lee is famed as the inventor of the World Wide Web, the system that we use to access sites, documents and files on the Internet. He has received numerous recognitions, most notably the Millennium Technology Prize.

While a student at Oxford University, Berners-Lee was caught hacking access with a friend and subsequently banned from University computers. w3.org reports, "Whilst [at Oxford], he built his first computer with a soldering iron, TTL gates, an M6800 processor and an old television." Technological innovation seems to have run in his genes, as Berners-Lee's parents were mathematicians who worked on the Manchester Mark1, one of the earliest electronic computers.

While working with CERN, a European nuclear research organization, Berners-Lee created a hypertext prototype system that helped researchers share and update information easily. He later realized that hypertext could be joined with the Internet. Berners-Lee recounts how he put them together: "I just had to take the hypertext idea and connect it to the TCP and DNS ideas and – ta-da! – the World Wide Web."

Since his creation of the World Wide Web, Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web Consortium at MIT. The W3C describes itself as "an international consortium where Member organizations, a full-time staff and the public work together to develop Web standards." Berners-Lee's World Wide Web idea, as well as standards from the W3C, is distributed freely with no patent or royalties due.


Linus Torvalds:
Torvalds fathered Linux, the very popular Unix-based operating system. He calls himself "an engineer," and has said that his aspirations are simple, "I just want to have fun making the best damn operating system I can."

Torvalds got his start in computers with a Commodore VIC-20, an 8-bit home computer. He then moved on to a Sinclair QL. Wikipedia reports that he modified the Sinclair "extensively, especially its operating system." Specifically, Torvalds hacks included "an assembler and a text editor…as well as a few games."

Torvalds created the Linux kernel in 1991, using the Minix operating system as inspiration. He started with a task switcher in Intel 80386 assembly and a terminal driver. After that, he put out a call for others to contribute code, which they did. Currently, only about 2 percent of the current Linux kernel is written by Torvalds himself. The success of this public invitation to contribute code for Linux is touted as one of the most prominent examples of free/open source software.

Currently, Torvalds serves as the Linux ringleader, coordinating the code that volunteer programmers contribute to the kernel. He has had an asteroid named after him and received honorary doctorates from Stockholm University and University of Helsinki. He was also featured in Time Magazine's "60 Years of Heroes."


Richard Stallman:
Stallman's fame derives from the GNU Project, which he founded to develop a free operating system. For this, he's known as the father of free software. His "Serious Bio" asserts, "Non-free software keeps users divided and helpless, forbidden to share it and unable to change it. A free operating system is essential for people to be able to use computers in freedom."

Stallman, who prefers to be called rms, got his start hacking at MIT. He worked as a "staff hacker" on the Emacs project and others. He was a critic of restricted computer access in the lab. When a password system was installed, Stallman broke it down, resetting passwords to null strings, then sent users messages informing them of the removal of the password system.

Stallman's crusade for free software started with a printer. At the MIT lab, he and other hackers were allowed to modify code on printers so that they sent convenient alert messages. However, a new printer came along – one that they were not allowed to modify. It was located away from the lab and the absence of the alerts presented an inconvenience. It was at this point that he was "convinced…of the ethical need to require free software."

With this inspiration, he began work on GNU. Stallman wrote an essay, "The GNU Project," in which he recalls choosing to work on an operating system because it's a foundation, "the crucial software to use a computer." At this time, the GNU/Linux version of the operating system uses the Linux kernel started by Torvalds. GNU is distributed under "copyleft," a method that employs copyright law to allow users to use, modify, copy and distribute the software.

Stallman's life continues to revolve around the promotion of free software. He works against movements like Digital Rights Management (or as he prefers, Digital Restrictions Management) through organizations like Free Software Foundation and League for Programming Freedom. He has received extensive recognition for his work, including awards, fellowships and four honorary doctorates.


Tsutomu Shimomura:
Shimomura reached fame in an unfortunate manner: he was hacked by Kevin Mitnick. Following this personal attack, he made it his cause to help the FBI capture him.

Shimomura's work to catch Mitnick is commendable, but he is not without his own dark side. Author Bruce Sterling recalls: "He pulls out this AT&T cellphone, pulls it out of the shrinkwrap, finger-hacks it, and starts monitoring phone calls going up and down Capitol Hill while an FBI agent is standing at his shoulder, listening to him."

Shimomura out-hacked Mitnick to bring him down. Shortly after finding out about the intrusion, he rallied a team and got to work finding Mitnick. Using Mitnick's cell phone, they tracked him near Raleigh-Durham International Airport. The article, "SDSC Computer Experts Help FBI Capture Computer Terrorist" recounts how Shimomura pinpointed Mitnick's location. Armed with a technician from the phone company, Shimomura "used a cellular frequency direction-finding antenna hooked up to a laptop to narrow the search to an apartment complex." Mitnick was arrested shortly thereafter. Following the pursuit, Shimomura wrote a book about the incident with journalist John Markoff, which was later turned into a movie.
