10 things to learn from Japan.

2011-04-18T22:21:00.000-07:00

A very valuable lesson...just got from my email....10 things we NEED to learn from Japan...

1. THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.

2. THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.

3. THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.

4. THE GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.

5. THE ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.

6. THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?

7. THE TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.

8. THE TRAINING
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.

9. THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.

10. THE CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly!"

Want to Know How and Why? Learn Physics

Physics is crucial to understanding the world around us, the world inside us, and the world beyond us. It is the most basic and fundamental science.

Physics challenges our imaginations with concepts like relativity and string theory, and it leads to great discoveries, like computers and lasers, that lead to technologies which change our lives—from healing joints, to curing cancer, to developing sustainable energy solutions. Check real physicist stories in the box to the right.

Like Science? It Began with Physics

Physics encompasses the study of the universe from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles.

Moreover, it’s the basis of many other sciences, including chemistry, oceanography, seismology, and astronomy (and can be applied to biology or medical science). All are easily accessible with a bachelor’s degree in physics.

Want Skills? Physicists Learn Them

Physicists are problem solvers. Their analytical skills make physicists versatile and adaptable so they work in interesting places.

You can find physicists in industrial and government labs, on college campuses, in the astronaut corps, and consulting on TV shows. In addition, many physics grads work at newspapers and magazines, in government, and even on Wall Street—places where their ability to think analytically is a great asset.

Want a Job? People Hire Physicists

Physics brings a broad perspective to any problem. Because they learn how to consider any problem they are not bound by context. This inventive thinking makes physicists desirable in any field. A bachelor’s degree in physics is a great foundation for careers in:

Journalism
Law
Finance
Medicine
Engineering
Computer Science
Astronomy
Biology

Like Money? Physics Beats Other Sciences

Even when the job market is slow, physicists get job offers—well paying jobs. Employers know that a physicist brings additional skills with expertise and pay accordingly. That's why physics graduates can expect career salaries similar to those of computer science and engineering majors.

ada lagi ni nanti, plan nak g hutan lipur kancing nanti...harap2 dapat shoot gambar2 best...tunggu.....

DIY Very Poor Macro Flash Part 2

2011-04-13T02:11:00.001-07:00

pastu kita lipat both side tepi tu...

kasi try sket..ngam ke tak..

pastu tandakan dalam 13 cm dari hujung kiri, then potong. tinggalkan dalam 3cm side atas..

jgn potong abis, tinggalkan 3 cm side atas...

pastu rehat jap sambil mkn chewing gum, jgn buang kertas dia,

lekat double sided tape kat bawah dia...

then lekatkan kat dalam kotak dari ujung, mcm gambar bwh ni kat side atas dan bawah...

pastu siapla...mcm ni le ghopenye...

ni la hasilnya...gambar terang dan sgt memuaskan!!! sebelah tu kalau tak pakai menda ni, flash tak sampai...

SELAMAT MENCUBA!!

DIY Very Poor Man Macro Flash Part 1

Assalamualaikum...

Dalam photography ni, lighting atau pncahayaan sangat penting, sebab dunia photography adalah dunia cahaya. Kalau memancing, kita akan bermain dengan ikan, melukis, kita bermain dengan warna, photography , kita bermain dengan photon atau cahaya..hehe.

So, since mula menceburi bidang macro ni, kene start pakai flash la. Masalahnya aku tak mampu lagi nak beli flash, apatah lagi macro flash, so terpaksala harap kat build in flash aku. Masalah kedua pulak, build in flash aku tak sesuai, so terpaksala menh'kreatif'kan diri, dan hasilnya tercipta menda ni....

Ni aku nak share cara nak buat dia, kot2 ade kawan2 sana yang ada problem sama...boleh try. Bahan2 dia adalah kotak ubat gigi, gunting, pisau, double side tape, ngan pembalut gula getah.

mula2 kita bukak kotak ubat gigi tu and terbalikkan dia...

pastu lekat double sided tape kat ujung sebab kita nak lipat balik supaya bahagia kilat tu kat belah dalam....

so jadilah mcm gambar bawah ni....

pastu lipat dan lekatkan 1 side ujung kotak tu kedalam. bahagian ni akan jadi mcm ala2 kaki flash la, utk lekat kat hotshoe. bila lekat camni baru tebal and kukuh nanti...

then kat side yang tebal tadi lukis mcm gamba bwh ni utk di potong. ni ukuran utk camera aku, korang punya mungkin berubah....

then jadilah mcm bawah ni...

pasru kat belah atas dia, tanda kan 5cm dr ujung....

pastu potong sisi kotak tu sampai ke garisan 5 cm tu, mcm bwh ni....

pastu lekatkan mcm gamba bwh ni....

ni dari pandangan bawah...

pastu potong lebihan kat tepi tu....

pastu lekatkan double sided tape ....

alhamdulillah, akhirnya dapat gak aku beli menda ni. lama ngidam..hehehe.

adapter ni guna untuk macro photography. nak beli Tamron SP90 f2.8 idaman ku tak mampu lagi, so dapatkan yang ni la

pasni bleh la mik gambar macro dan gambar2 bunga...tunggu...hehe

Newton 1st Law

2011-04-03T23:10:00.000-07:00

“Every body remains in a state of constant velocity unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force”.

Kalau siapa yang pernah belajar fizik, tak kisah la peringkat sekolah ke atau universiti, mesti pernah belajar menda ni. Topic yang paling basic sekali, dalam ‘law of motion’, biasanya dalam chapter 1 atau 2. Law of motion ni di compiled oleh Sir Isaac newton. Dia ni kira org penting la dlm fizik, banyak menyumbang dalam area mechanics.

Aku suka sangat subjek fizik ni sebab die menerangkan apa yang berlaku di alam ni. Kenapa kipas berpusing, kenapa menda jatuh bile kene lepas, kenapa panas, kenapa sejuk, dan yang paling best, semua hukum-hukum fizik juga boleh kita apply dalam psychology. Ok, skang ape yang kita boleh blaja ngan newton 1st law ni...

Hukum ni mengatakan yang semua benda akan berada dalam keadaan asal dia (static atau bergerak) sehinggalah diberi suatu daya luar atau daya asing. Maksudnya, satu benda yang pada asalnya bergerak, akan terus bergerak sampai bila2 pun melainkan kita apply satu daya pada dia, baru dia boleh stop, atau satu benda yang static, akan selamanya static sehingga lah kita apply daya pada dia, baru dia akan bergerak...

So apa yang kita boleh dapat dari hukum ni? Dalam Surah ar-ra’d, ayat 11, Allah berfirman:

“إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ” “

Allah takkan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum itu melainkan mereka mengubahnya sendiri”

Dalam hidup ni, kita akan sentiasa dalam keadaan kita yang sekarang dan untuk berubah bukan senang, kita kene guna kekuatan yang ada dalam diri kita. Dalam newton’s 1st law ni pun kita akan blaja tentang inertia.

Inertia dari segi definition adalah, “The resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest”, atau dlm bahasa melayunya adalah kecenderungan sesuatu objek untuk menentang sebarang nemtuk perubahan. Maksudnya jika pada asalnya objek itu bergerak, jika di beri tenaga untuk berubah kepada berhenti, objek itu sendiri akan menentang perubahan tu. Ini biasa kita rasa masa naik kereta, time nak stop, badan kita akan melonjak kedepan sebab inertia ni.

Sama gak kalo kita nak berubah, memula tu mcm payah giler sebab kita skang dalam keadaan selesa atau comfort zone, tapi lepas kita dah start, tak de la susah sangat. Mcm masa kita nak tolak troli berat, mase memula nak tolak tu, berat sangat, tapi bila troli dah mula gerak, senang jer nak tolak. Then bila kita dah istiqamah, susah unutk kita buang sifat atau amalan kita tu, sebab inertia gak, macam mana susahnya kita nak bentikan troli berat yang kita tolak td....
