1.Where can you find information about Nobel Prize? Who get the Nobel Prize this last year?

there are a few of websites where you can find the information about Nobel prize, such us:

And the person who get the Noble prize last year is Barack H.Obama.


The Nobel Peace Prize 2009 was awarded to him "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".

2. Go to Encylopedia Online at http://library.spu.ac.th search for the history of automobiles or computer. Summarize the information you get.


The automobile as we know it was not invented in a single day by a single inventor. The history of the automobile reflects an evolution that took place worldwide. It is estimated that over 100,000 patents created the modern automobile. However, we can point to the many firsts that occurred along the way. Starting with the first theoretical plans for a motor vehicle that had been drawn up by both Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton.


In 1769, the very first self-propelled road vehicle was a military tractor invented by French engineer and mechanic, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot (1725 - 1804). Cugnot used a steam engine to power his vehicle, built under his instructions at the Paris Arsenal by mechanic Brezin. It was used by the French Army to haul artillery at a whopping speed of 2 1/2 mph on only three wheels. The vehicle had to stop every ten to fifteen minutes to build up steam power. The steam engine and boiler were separate from the rest of the vehicle and placed in the front (see engraving above). The following year (1770), Cugnot built a steam-powered tricycle that carried four passengers.


3.What is the difference between general book and reference book?

General Book is a collection of printed material that have a different purpose for education or another things. you can find general book anywhere, in library, or in any bookstore.
but reference or a reference point, is the intensional use of one thing, a point of reference or reference state, to indicate something else. When reference is intended, what the reference points to is called the referent.
References are indicated by sounds (like onomatopoeia), pictures (like roadsigns), text (like bibliographies), indexes (by number) and objects (a wedding ring); but endless concrete and abstract methods can be used intentionally. This includes methods that intentionally hide the reference from some observers, as in cryptography.



4.When do you need to search information from the reference collection?
whenever you need any information about something, or anything.
the reference collection provide you anything what do yopu want.

5.What type of reference collection that you like to use most? And why?

I like encyclopedia, because i can search many things that i want to know. i can finish my homework or finding new information that i want to.

Exercise 3

Why the library is important for the learning process?


1. Why the library is important for the learning process ?


Access to information and knowledge are fundamental for education and development as well as being an essential requirement for improving the quality of life for people living in regions where the population has not yet reached a high level of economic and social development. Libraries play an important role in the educational and research process. A digital library can provide access to many of the knowledge networks around the world, which is a necessary component of any research experience.
In this article, a brief introduction to the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) is followed by an explanation of the setup of the joint educational MSc. programme that has been developed by these two institutes.
The digital library support in this joint programme will be described and the positive and negative experiences of the programme are summarized.
The article also provides general comments on the importance of building digital partnerships between libraries in joint educational programmes between developed and less technologically advanced countries.

Poor and Good information

There is a tremendous amount of useful, factual information available online. Unfortunately, it's also very easy to find incorrect or misleading information when searching online.
It can be quite difficult to determine whether the information you find on the internet is good or bad. Lots of incoherent information is posted every day by people simply looking to jump ahead in the search engine rankings.
Have you ever read through an entire article or website, only to realize that you have more questions than you did when you started? You've probably stumbled upon some poor information in your time using the internet. There are different kinds of incorrect information available online; read on to find a description of these different types.
Intentionally Misleading Information - If you've browsed Wikipedia for a fair amount of time you've probably came across a page that was locked. This happens often when celebrities are are involved in scandals or when they pass away. Some of the comments you may encounter are totally inaccurate, while others might be controversial and subject to argument on both sides of the issue.
Wikipedia's administrators lock pages when there are too many edits coming in that present false information. This is especially common for the pages of celebrities with poor reputations, which often have derogatory information posted on them. Visit the page of a controversial celebrity and look at the edit history; you'll almost definitely see some of these edits. This is one of the negatives that come with user contributed sites, and these things must be screened carefully when the open source frameworks permit such easy access by the general public.
Unintentionally False Information - Everywhere you look online, you'll find someone claiming to be an expert and sharing his or her secrets. While they may not be trying to intentionally mislead you, they're often not 100% correct.
Always question the claims of any self-proclaimed experts online. You can double-check the facts behind their statements to be sure that what they're saying is truthful. Most of these people are simply trying to make money, and even though they may not have any malicious intent, the end result still has you believing false information.
Despite all of this, don't be scared to find information online. There's still a huge amount of useful information that can be found on the internet; you just have to do a little extra research sometimes and try to stick to reputable sources. Stick with these sources and more likely than not, you won't be mislead.

what is a mind map ?


A mind map is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts. It is a visual thinking tool that helps structuring information, helping you to better analyze, comprehend, synthesize, recall and generate new ideas.
Just as in every great idea, its power lies in its simplicity.
In a mind map, as opposed to traditional note taking or a linear text, information is structured in a way that resembles much more closely how your brain actually works. Since it is an activity that is both analytical and artistic, it engages your brain in a much, much richer way, helping in all its cognitive functions. And, best of all, it is fun!
So, how does a mind map look like? Better than explaining is showing you an example.

This is a mind map about – conveniently enough – mind mapping itself. It presents, in a visual way, the core elements and techniques on how to draw mind maps. Yes, I know this may look a little too messy initially, but bear with me: once you break the ingrained habit of linear note taking, you won’t look back.

Benefits and Uses

I think I already gave away the benefits of mind mapping and why mind maps work. Basically, mind mapping avoids dull, linear thinking, jogging your creativity and making note taking fun again.
But what can we use mind maps for?
  • Note taking
  • Brainstorming (individually or in groups)
  • Problem solving
  • Studying and memorization
  • Planning
  • Researching and consolidating information from multiple sources
  • Presenting information
  • Gaining insight on complex subjects
  • Jogging your creativity
It is hard to make justice to the number of uses mind maps can have – the truth is that they can help clarify your thinking in pretty much anything, in many different contexts: personal, family, educational or business. Planning you day or planning your life, summarizing a book, launching a project, planning and creating presentations, writing blog posts -well, you get the idea – anything, really.

How to Draw a Mind Map

Drawing a mind map is as simple as 1-2-3:
  • Start in the middle of a blank page, writing or drawing the idea you intend to develop. I would suggest that you use the page in landscape orientation.
  • Develop the related subtopics around this central topic, connecting each of them to the center with a line.
  • Repeat the same process for the subtopics, generating lower-level subtopics as you see fit, connecting each of those to the corresponding subtopic.
Some more recommendations:
  • Use colors, drawings and symbols copiously. Be as visual as you can, and your brain will thank you. I’ve met many people who don’t even try, with the excuse they’re "not artists". Don’t let that keep you from trying it out!.
  • Keep the topics labels as short as possible, keeping them to a single word – or, better yet, to only a picture. Especially in your first mind maps, the temptation to write a complete phrase is enormous, but always look for opportunities to shorten it to a single word or figure – your mind map will be much more effective that way.
  • Vary text size, color and alignment. Vary the thickness and length of the lines. Provide as many visual cues as you can to emphasize important points. Every little bit helps engaging your brain.

Final Thoughts

Mind mapping is an absolutely fascinating and rich topic – this post only scratches the surface. If you want more reference material now, Wikipedia is always a good starting point.
Mind mapping is a passion for me, and it is one of the strongest drivers behind this blog. I plan to explore it in much more depth – publishing mind maps, providing tips, talking about computer mind mapping, and much more. Just make sure to keep visiting (or better yet, subscribe).
In the meantime, please give mind mapping a chance – try it out. Follow there handy tips and see the results for yourself. Don’t worry too much about doing it the "right" way – just make it fun.
This is the example of a mind map

EXERCISE 1

 what is information?

In the 1960s and 1970s, the term information technology (IT) was a little known phrase that was used by those who worked in places like banks and hospitals to describe the processes they used to store information. With the paradigm shift to computing technology and "paperless" workplaces, information technology has come to be a household phrase. It defines an industry that uses computers, networking, software programming, and other equipment and processes to store, process, retrieve, transmit, and protect information

Ulama Pelopor Islam di Tanah Melayu



“SIAPA pelopor?” Perlu ditanggapi dan dicari jawapan yang betul dan tepat. Pertanyaan tersebut adalah sukar dijawab, namun penulis cuba menghuraikan berdasarkan bahan-bahan tertulis dan pengalaman yang pernah ditempuhi. Sukar penulis katakan, kerana pertanyaan itu masih terlalu umum.

Pelopor dunia Melayu Islam di daerah mana yang dimaksudkan, kerana dunia Melayu Islam adalah sangat luas membentang mulai dari Cam di benua besar Asia, Patani dan Semenanjung Tanah Melayu. Singapura yang telah bernegara sendiri, hingga ke Kepulauan Filipina, Brunei Darussalam, Sabah serta Sarawak, Indonesia dan Timur Leste yang baru merdeka.

Juga pertanyaan masih belum jelas, pelopor Melayu Islam zaman bila yang dimaksudkan.

Pelopor Melayu Islam pada setiap zaman sekurang-kurangnya dapat dibahagi kepada dua golongan. Ada pelopor Melayu Islam yang terdiri dari golongan ulama, ada pula pelopor Melayu Islam memperjuangkan nasional untuk kemerdekaan.

Sebagai contoh dalam pertarungan politik di Indonesia, antara M. Natsir dengan Soekarno akhirnya kemenangan berpihak kepada Soekarno. Dalam pertarungan politik di Semenanjung Tanah Melayu pula, Ibrahim Ya’qub dan kawan-kawan, membentuk Kesatuan Melayu Muda (KMM) ternyata kemenangan berpihak kepada Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra.

Semua pelopor politik yang tersebut adalah Melayu Islam (sekurang-kurangnya serumpun Melayu).

Selain sebahagian ulama sebagai pemula atau pencetus dalam pelbagai peradaban atau ketamadunan Melayu Islam yang meliputi keseluruhan aspek kepentingan dunia Melayu, kader-kader mereka pula muncul sebagai generasi penerus.

Di antara mereka ada yang muncul sebagai pahlawan Islam dan tanah air.

Sebagai contoh, Tok Janggut di Kelantan pernah belajar kepada beberapa orang ulama di Mekah, termasuk kepada Sheikh Ahmad al-Fathani muncul sebagai penentang pemerintahan Inggeris. Beliau mati di tali gantung.

Mat Kilau di Pahang adalah seorang pahlawan, beliau adalah murid dan kader Mufti Haji Utsman, Mufti Kerajaan Pahang yang pertama. Haji Utsman pula adalah murid Sheikh Muhammad bin Ismail al-Fathani (penyusun kitab Mathla’ul Badrain yang terkenal).

Sama ada Tok Janggut mahupun Mat Kilau dalam zaman penjajahan Inggeris dianggap penjahat atau penjenayah, penderhaka terhadap pemerintah. Demikian bijak tipu helah pemerintahan penjajah Inggeris menyelewengkan fakta yang sebenarnya.

Walaupun sekarang kita telah merdeka, sejarah Tok Janggut, Mat Kilau bahkan ramai lagi, masih tetap terselubung bagi generasi kini. Jika generasi kini tidak berusaha memperkenalkan para patriotik kita, maka nama mereka akan lenyap ditelan zaman.

Pelopor

Pelopor yang sebenar ditinjau dari segi agama Islam ialah para Nabi dan Rasul, yang kemudian diikuti oleh para ulama sebagai pewaris para Nabi dan Rasul. Ulama yang menjadi pelopor sangat ramai, yang tidak mungkin disebut satu persatunya di dalam ruangan yang terbatas ini.

Sekian ramai ulama sejak zaman awal hingga tersebarnya Islam di dunia Melayu cukup dikenal dan menjadi ikutan para ulama dunia Melayu seumpama Imam Syafie (Imam Mazhab dari segi fiqh), Imam Abul Hasan al-Asy’ari (Imam akidah Ahlis Sunnah wal Jamaah), Sheikh Juneid al-Baghdadi (Imam dari segi tasauf), dan lain-lain termasuk ahlul mujtahid Mazhab yang datang sesudah mereka.

Di antara mereka yang kitab-kitabnya menjadi pegangan yang kukuh di dunia Melayu ialah Imam al-Ghazali, seorang tokoh pelopor Islam membahas keilmuwan pelbagai aspek terutama fiqh Syafiiyah, akidah Asya’irah dan sufiah. ‘Ulama’ ahlil hadis seumpama Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim dan ramai lagi adalah tidak asing bagi ulama dunia Melayu.

Para ulama dunia Melayu yang pasti, yang dianggap sebagai pelopor, adalah sangat ramai. Yang dapat penulis sebutkan di sini berdasar bukti nyata diutamakan adalah ulama-ulama yang menghasilkan karya penulisan saja, selebihnya belum dapat dibicarakan.

Dalam zaman kebesaran kerajaan Islam Aceh, telah muncul Sheikh Hamzah al-Fansuri tokoh sufi dengan gubahan-gubahan syairnya yang sangat indah. Walaupun sementara ada insan yang mengecam, yang menganggap zindiq dan sesat terhadapnya, namun tiada siapa dapat menafikan bahawa Hamzah al-Fansuri adalah orang pertama pencipta syair dalam bahasa Melayu.

Gaya syair Hamzah al-Fansuri berkembang terus dari satu generasi ke satu generasi hingga sampai ke zaman kita, masih tetap segar dalam kajian sastera Melayu, baik dalam dunia Melayu sendiri mahupun peringkat antarabangsa.

Kepeloporan Hamzah al-Fansuri dalam dunia sufi Melayu juga tidak pernah pudar, walaupun ada segolongan orang yang berusaha membendung kesinambungan karya-karyanya. Hamzah al-Fansuri dalam ilmu kesufiyahannya bukanlah muncul dengan tiba-tiba, dicetuskan bersendirian, tetapi ada asal usulnya.

Tokoh sufi

Dunia Islam pernah kenal dengan tokoh-tokoh besar sufi seumpamanya, seperti Abu Yazid al-Bisthami, Abu Manshur al-Hallaj, Ibnu ‘Arabi, dan ramai lagi. Rangkaian zaman Hamzah al-Fansuri diikuti oleh Sheikh Syamsuddin as-Sumatra-i, Sheikh Nuruddin ar-Raniri dan Sheikh Abdur Rauf bin Ali al-Fansuri. Sheikh Nuruddin ar-Raniri adalah orang pertama menulis tentang fiqh Bab ‘Ibadah dalam bahasa Melayu yang diberi judul Ash-Shirat al-Mustaqim.

Serentak dengan itu Sheikh Nuruddin ar-Raniri pula orang pertama menulis kitab hadis dalam bahasa Melayu yang diberi judul Hadiyatul Habib. Sheikh Abdur Rauf bin Ali al-Fansuri adalah ‘ulama’ ahlis syariah wah haiqiqah yang paling berkesan dalam rangkaian zaman itu, selain mempunyai murid yang ramai sebagai penyebar Islam dari pelbagai wilayah dunia Melayu.

Beliau adalah pelopor murabbir ruhi sehingga tersebarnya ajaran tasauf menurut metod tarekat terutama Tarekat Syathariyah. Sheikh Abdur Rauf bin Ali al-Fansuri pula adalah pelopor terjemah dan tafsir al-Quran lengkap 30 juzuk yang pertama dalam bahasa Melayu yang diberi judul Turjuman al-Mustafid.

Serentak dengan itu beliau pula orang pertama pelopor penulisan fiqh tentang undang-undang kehakiman Islam dalam bahasa Melayu yang diberi judul Mir’atut Thullab. Beliau juga orang pertama sebagai penterjemah Hadis Arba’in Imam Nawawi yang sebahagian besar pentafsirannya menurut kaca mata sufi.

Dalam penulisan sejarah peradaban dan raja-raja dunia Melayu, para pengkaji selalu menyebut tiga gandingan nama dan tiga karya penting, iaitu Sheikh Nuruddin ar-Raniri penulis Bustanus Salathin, Tun Seri Lanang penulis Sulalatus Salathin atau Sejarah Melayu dan Bukhari al-Jauhari atau al-Johori penulis Tajus Salathin.

Rasanya masih ada yang perlu dikaji atau diselidiki dengan teliti kerana beberapa versi manuskrip Tajus Salathin yang telah ditemukan tidak pernah menyebut nama Bukhari al-Jauhari atau al-Johori.

Nama Bukhari al-Jauhari atau al-Johori bukan sahaja tidak diperkatakan banyak tempat, sekali pun tidak dijumpai dalam sesuatu manuskrip Tajus Salathin termasuk manuskrip yang diterbitkan ini. Pendapat ini bukan bererti memandang sinis, atau kecaman terhadap pengkaji yang terdahulu, jauh dari maksud demikian itu.

Penulis tetap menghargai jasa dan jerih payah mereka yang telah berhasil memperkenalkan khazanah dunia Melayu yang penting, namun kita perlu sedar dan insaf bahawa setiap kajian adalah tidak terhenti pada yang ada saja, setiap ketika ia akan berkembang dengan sendirinya dan memang perlu suatu kebangkitan memperkembangkannya.

Adalah suatu kejumudan atau kebekuan jika kita bertahan dan menerima apa saja yang diperkatakan oleh golongan barisan sarjana-sarjana barat (orientalis). Mengenai ini diakui oleh Syed Nasir bin Ismail (ketika beliau menjadi Pengarah Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka pada Kata Pengantar Taj Us-Salatin, 1965, dan Edisi Kedua, 1992, hlm. vii).

Beliau menulis, “Walau bagaimanapun pendapat-pendapat yang dikemukakan oleh para sarjana terkadang-kadang sangat jauh menyimpang dari kebenaran, maka kita tidak dapat menafikan bahawa Tajus Salatin banyak memperlihatkan keperibadian Melayu sendiri”.

TIGA ULAMA PALING POPULAR

Dimaksudkan dengan perkataan tiga serangkai di atas ialah tiga orang ulama yang paling dikenali di dunia Melayu, iaitu Sheikh Abdus Shamad al-Falimbani, Sheikh Muhammad Arsyad bin Abdullah al-Banjari dan Sheikh Daud bin Abdullah al-Fathani.

Ketiga-tiga ulama ini adalah pelopor dunia Melayu dalam bidang keilmuan Islam dan mereka pula telah berhasil membentuk sekian ramai insan Melayu berilmu dan bertakwa kepada Allah SWT. Mengenai tiga orang ulama besar dunia Melayu ini tidak perlu dibicarakan lagi kerana telah penulis sebutkan setiap satunya dalam ruangan ini, termasuk disusun dalam buku.

GENERASI PENERUS

Jumlah ulama generasi penerus sangat ramai di antara mereka sebagai contoh seumpama Sheikh Ismail bin Abdullah Minangkabau, tokoh besar sebagai pelopor Tarekat Naqsyabandiyah al-Khalidiyah. Sheikh Ahmad Khathib bin Abdul Ghaffar Sambas, tokoh besar sebagai pelopor Tarekat Qadiriyah-Naqsyabandiyah. Raja Ali Haji Riau, tokoh besar sebagai pelopor bahasa dan sastera Melayu, serta sejarah. Ketiga-tiga mereka adalah murid Sheikh Daud bin Abdullah al-Fathani.

Sheikh Ahmad bin Muhammad Zain al-Fathani, adalah tokoh besar pelopor dunia Melayu dalam pelbagai bidang. Ulama ini sangat besar pengaruhnya bukan hanya di dunia Melayu saja, tetapi termasuk di kerajaan Turki ‘Utsmaniyah, Mekah dan Mesir.

Mengenai beliau juga telah dibicarakan dalam siri-siri sebelumnya, di sini penulis sentuh sedikit saja sebagai pelengkap dan menunjukkan kesan yang berkesinambungan.

Sheikh Ahmad al-Fathani adalah pencetus pengkaderan ulama Melayu di Mekah, sangat ramai muridnya. Di antara kadernya yang terkenal termasuklah Kiai Haji Hasyim Asy’ari (yang mengasaskan parti Nahdatul Ulama) dan Mufti Haji Abdullah Fahim. Kedua-dua ulama besar dunia Melayu ini penulis singgung adalah memperhatikan perjalanan sejarah terkini, bahawa cucu Kiai Haji Hasyim Asy’ari bernama Haji Abdur Rahman Wahid (Gus Dur) dalam era reformasi Indonesia sempat menjadi presiden negara itu, tetapi tidak bertahan lama.

Cucu Mufti Haji Abdullah Fahim pula bernama Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi adalah bekas Perdana Menteri Malaysia kelima, yang dilantik pada hari Jumaat, 31 Oktober 2003 M bersamaan 5 Ramadan 1424 H.

Ulama Johor yang murid dan kader Sheikh Ahmad al-Fathani dan ulama Mekah lainnya ialah Kadi Haji Abu Bakar bin Haji Hasan Muar.

Murid beliau ramai, yang dapat ditonjolkan di sini ialah saudara sepupunya Tan Sri Noah, iaitulah ayah mertua Tun Abdul Razak bin Husein, bekas Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang kedua. Murid Kadi Haji Abu Bakar bin Haji Hasan Muar pula ialah Haji Yassin, iaitulah ayah kepada Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Demikian halnya dengan Negeri Sembilan, murid dan kader Sheikh Ahmad al-Fathani dan ulama Mekah lainnya ialah Sheikh Muhammad Said bin Sheikh Jamaluddin Linggi. Sheikh Muhammad Said Linggi adalah pelopor terbesar Tarekat Ahmadiyah di dunia Melayu.

Ramai keturunan dan warisnya yang menjadi ulama, di antaranya Mufti Haji Ahmad. Mufti Haji Ahmad inilah yang membaca doa pelantikan Yang di-Pertuan Agong Malaya yang pertama. Mufti Negeri Sembilan yang sekarang (1430 H/2009 M), Asy-Sheikh Datuk Mohd. Murtadza adalah anak Mufti Haji Ahmad bin Sheikh Muhammad Sa’id Linggi yang tersebut.

Rasanya tulisan ini adalah tidak lengkap jika tidak menyebut murid dan kader Sheikh Ahmad al-Fathani yang paling terkenal, beliau ialah Tok Kenali. Murid Tok Kenali pula tersebar seantero dunia Melayu. Di antara murid Tok Kenali ialah Syeikh Idris al-Marbawi, iaitulah penyusun Kamus Al-Marbawi, sebuah kamus Arab-Melayu yang pertama tersebar luas di seluruh dunia Melayu.

Tuan Guru Haji Nik Mat, juga murid Tok Kenali. Tuan Guru Haji Nik Mat adalah ayah Datuk Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, iaitulah Menteri Besar Kelantan sekarang.

Selain Tok Kenali sangat ramai ulama Kelantan yang menjadi pelopor, yang terpenting di antara mereka ialah Nik Mahmud, Dato’ Perdana Menteri Paduka Raja Kelantan, Haji Muhammad bin Muhammad Said, Dato’ Laksamana Kelantan.

Dalam masa yang sama dengan era kebangkitan Sheikh Ahmad bin Muhammad Zain al-Fathani di Mekah, sangat ramai ulama yang berasal dari dunia Melayu yang terkenal, sekali gus merupakan guru kepada ulama-ulama dunia Melayu yang muncul sesudah mereka.

Dari pelbagai wilayah dunia Melayu, muncul pula pelopor-pelopor yang terkenal. Di antaranya ialah Haji Amrullah ketika di Mekah seperguruan dengan Sheikh Ahmad al-Fathani, sama-sama belajar dengan Sheikh Muhammad bin Sulaiman Hasbullah al-Makki.

Anak beliau ialah Dr. Sheikh Abdul Karim Amrullah juga belajar di Mekah. Di antara gurunya termasuk Sheikh Ahmad al-Fathani dan Sheikh Ahmad Khathib bin Abdul Lathif Minangkabau. Dr. Sheikh Abdul Karim Amrullah adalah tokoh pelopor tajdid/reformis yang terkenal.

Anak beliau ialah Buya Prof. Dr. Hamka (singkatan nama dari Haji Abdul Malik Abdul Karim Amrullah) seorang tokoh Islam dunia Melayu yang paling popular pada zamannya.

Merujuk kembali tentang Sheikh Ahmad Khathib bin Abdul Lathif Minangkabau, beliau adalah seorang ulama besar yang berasal dari dunia Melayu atau Minangkabau yang pernah menjadi Imam dan khatib Mazhab Syafie di Masjidil Haram, Mekah, adalah pelopor penentang beberapa adat Minangkabau yang dianggapnya bertentangan dengan syarak.

Di antara adat itu ialah memperoleh harta kewarisan atau pusaka dari pihak perempuan. Muridnya juga sangat ramai, bukan yang berasal dari Minangkabau saja tetapi juga dari seluruh dunia Melayu.

Ulama besar dunia Melayu, berasal dari Sarawak, Borneo/Kalimantan, yang mengajar di Masjidil Haram Mekah pula ialah Sheikh ‘Utsman bin Abdul Wahhab Sarawak.

Murid beliau juga ramai kerana selain mengajar di Masjidil Haram juga mengajar di beberapa tempat di dunia Melayu. Di antara muridnya termasuk Dr. Sheikh Abdul Karim Amrullah.

Ini diakui oleh Buya Prof. Dr. Hamka dalam bukunya Ayahku. Seorang ulama yang berasal dari Batu Bahara, Pasir Dahari, Inderapura (Langkat) bernama Sheikh Muhammad Zain Nuruddin bin Sheikh ‘Abbas al-Khalidi, dalam karyanya berjudul Miftah ash-Shibyan fi ‘Aqaid al-Iman menyebut nama beberapa orang gurunya di Mekah, di antaranya termasuk juga Sheikh ‘Utsman bin Abdul Wahhab Sarawak.

Haji Sulong bin Abdul Qadir al-Fathani yang berasal dari Patani adalah keturunan ulama besar Patani Sheikh Zainal Abidin bin Muhammad al-Fathani.

Beliau mendapat pendidikan di Mekah dari ulama-ulama yang telah disebutkan di atas. Selanjutnya Haji Sulong bin Abdul Qadir al-Fathani adalah pelopor kebangkitan jihad fi sabilillah untuk mengembalikan Daulah Fathani Darus Salam yang tidak akan sirna dari lubuk hati umat Islam Patani yang beriman, sedar, menghayati sejarah, dan insaf sepanjang zaman.

Masih ramai pelopor Melayu-Islam baik dari golongan ulama mahupun yang bukan ulama tidak sempat disebut dalam ruangan yang terbatas ini.

Maka sampai di sini saja perbicaraan ini, mudah-mudahan kita dapat mengabadikan nama ulama dunia Melayu tersebut agar generasi penerus masih dapat mengenal sejarah perjuangan mereka dalam memperkasakan dunia Melayu-Islam.

The function of computer

Each different part in a
computer
has a different task to perform, just as each part in an
automobile has a job to do. Each part works differently in order
to get it’s job done. There are many misconceptions about what
parts do what job, and here, we will set out to correct them.
Knowing what function each part has is very rewarding. If one
knows what part does one, they can easily narrow down problems in a
computer.





The Processor
"CPU"
The processor is known as the brain of the computer. In fact,
it’s not. If anything, the computer as a whole serves as a
brain. The processor is just a really fast calculator. It
adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides a multitude of numbers.
There are two parts of the Processor that do the math. The first
part is called the Integer unit. It’s job is to take care of the
"easy" numbers, like -5, 13, 1/2, etc. It’s mainly
used in business applications, like word processors, spreadsheets, and
the Windows Desktop. The other half is called the Floating Point
Unit. It’s job is to take care of the really hard numbers, like
the square root of 3, pi, "e.", and logarithms. This
part of the CPU is mainly used in 3D games, to calculate the position
of pixels, and images. For years, Intel’s processor have had the
best Floating Point around, but as of late, AMD’s Athlon Processor has
stolen the crown away from Intel. That is why were are seeing
the race for 1GHz speed up so dramatically today.




The Hard Drive
"HD"
The Hard Drive is simply a multitude of metal disks that spin
around inside your computer, with heads that move around those
disks. Those heads read and write data to the metallic
disks. The reason for using a Hard drive is because the hard
drive is the only part inside a computer that stores data while the
computer is off. (Besides removable media of course.) Your Hard
Drive is what stores all of your settings, programs, and the operating
system while your computer is off. The only draw back to the
hard drive, is that it is mechanical. That means it has a tendency
to break down every once in a while for no reason, and it is slower
than electronic means of data storage.


Random Access Memory
"RAM"
RAM is easily confused with Hard Drive, because both store
data. The two are actually very different. The RAM is a
chip that holds data, only as electricity flows though it. It is
very fast compared to the Hard Drive, but is also expensive, which is
why we don’t use it for our primary data storage. RAM is used as
a interface between the Hard Drive and the Processor. If the
Processor needs some data that’s on the hard drive, the chipset (well
get to the chipset later) will retrieve the data from the hard drive
and put it into memory, so the processor can access it faster.
If the computer runs out of room in the RAM, it will make a file
on
your hard drive, called "Virtual RAM." "Virtual
RAM" is just an extension of real RAM on your Hard Drive.
As said above, the Hard drive is much slower than the RAM, so when the
computer gets the data strait from the Hard Drive, your computer will
also seem like it freezes, because it will be running so slowly. Once
you shut your computer off, there is nothing stored in the RAM,
because there is no electricity flowing though it.



Cache
"L1,and L2"
The Cache is high speed RAM. It stores commonly used data
and instructions from the processor so that it doesn’t have to go to
the slower RAM to get it. This is why the modern day computer is
so fast. Without cache, most processors would be limited in
speed by the RAM. Without it, your computer would be running
terribly slow. The Cache is split up into 2 different
Levels. The first level, L1, ranges in size from 32KB to 128KB. It is split in half and resides with in the CPU core, next
to the Integer and Floating Point Unit. The first half stores
commonly used data, and the second half stores common instructions
that the processor carries out on the data. The second level of
cache, called L2, is for data only. Some L2 Caches are on the
motherboard. Others are on a special cartridge with the
CPU. Newer L2 Caches are in the CPU core, with the L1 cache.





The Chipset
The chipset is the boss inside the computer. It controls
communication between the components. The chipset is split up
into two basic chips. The first chip, called the North Bridge,
handles communication between the AGP bus, (if it exists), RAM,
processor, and the South Bridge of the chipset. The South Bridge
handles all the Input and output of the computer, including the PCI
and ISA Bus. The Processor, Memory, Cache, and Chipset all work
together to function as a logical brain.

Puisi perjuangan

“Negeri para bedebah”


Ada satu negeri yang dihuni para bedebah
Lautnya pernah dibelah tongkat Musa
Nuh meninggalkan daratannya karena direndam bah
Dari langit burung-burung kondor
menjatuhkan bebatuan menyala-nyala

Tahukah kamu ciri-ciri negeri para bedebah?
Itulah negeri yang para pemimpinnya hidup mewah
Tapi rakyatnya makan dari mengais sampah
Atau menjadi kuli di negeri orang
Yang upahnya serapah dan bogem mentah

Di negeri para bedebah
Orang baik dan bersih dianggap salah
Dipenjarakan hanya karena sering ketemu wartawan
Menipu rakyat dengan pemilu menjadi lumrah
Karena hanya penguasa yang boleh marah
Sedangkan rakyatnya hanya bisa pasrah

Maka bila negerimu dikuasai para bedebah
Jangan tergesa-gesa mengadu kepada Allah
Karena Tuhan tak akan mengubah suatu kaum
Kecuali kaum itu sendiri mengubahnya

Maka bila melihat negeri dikuasai para bedebah
Usirlah mereka dengan revolusi
Bila tak mampu dengan revolusi, dengan demonstrasi
Bila tak mampu dengan demonstrasi, dengan diskusi
Tapi itulah selemah-lemahnya iman perjuangan !

UNIVERSITY KEBANGSAAN MALAYSIA



National University of Malaysia (Malay: Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) is a public university located in Bangi, Selangor which is about 35 km south of Kuala Lumpur. There is also a teaching hospital in Cheras and a branch campus in Kuala Lumpur. Today, it has 17,500 undergraduate students, and 5,105 postgraduate students of which 1368 are foreign students from 35 different countries.
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia is recognised as one of the four research universities in Malaysia. It was ranked by The Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) at number 185 in its annual ranking of the world's top 200 universities for 2006. However, it has dropped out of the list of top 200 universities in the world in 2007.




UKM today has expanded to twelve well-established faculties, four institutes and nine centres. In addition, UKM has established a private limited holding company known as UKM Holdings, which handles the commercial activity of UKM. UKM encompasses an academic community of 1,798 (181 professors; 326 associate professors; 1051 lecturers and 174 tutors and 66 teachers), supporting staff of more than 7500 and a student population of approximately 26,844. Currently, UKM has about 19,371 undergraduate students, and 7,473 postgraduate students of which 1018 are foreign students from 35 different countries. Since its establishment in 1970 up till 2002, the University has produced more than 104,057 graduates; 93,210 Bachelors, 10,115 Masters and 732 PhDs. UKM, though a brainchild of nationalistic fervour and aspirations, is very international in outlook without sacrificing its cherished culture and values.






Vision and Mission
Vision
UKM is committed to be a leading university that pioneers innovation in the construction of knowledge to achieve the aspiration of producing a society imbued with dynamic, learned and civic leadership.




Mission
UKM is the National University that safeguards the sovereignty of the Malay language while globalizing knowledge in the context of local culture.



Philosophy
A combination of faith in Allah and beneficial knowledge and of theory and practice as the basis for the advancement of knowledge, the education of society and the development of the University.



Educational Goals UKM
To produce graduates who are imbued with confidence, ethics, leadership and national integrity who are able to engage internationally.


UKM's History
The idea of establishing a national university was first mooted as far back as the early 1920s. The initial proposition, made by Abd. Kadir Adabi, sought for the establishment of a university that could meet the educational needs of the Malays and the development of their language.


Through the 30s, the idea grew, secretly cherished in the hearts of the Malays, especially during the time of colonial domination. It was actively pursued during the 40s and the 50s when the Federation of the Union of Malay Teachers of the Peninsula agitated for the placement of the Malay Language in the active life of the country, and enhance the status of Malay schools so that their students could further their studies at tertiary level.


In the 60s, the demands were repeated and discussions were reopened. A group of Malay intellectuals gathered to discuss notion of a national university, not only in the context of Malay needs, but also that of a Malaysian nation.
The notion was well received and in 1969, a Sponsoring Committee was set up to prepare and publish a report recommending the establishment of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. The report formed the basis of the University. Many of its recommendations were adopted as guidelines in the official establishment of the University on May 18, 1970.
Thus, the establishment of the University was indeed an historical event, erected on people's vision. The progress achieved since its formation has proved beyond doubt the success of Bahasa Malaysia (Malay language) as a medium of instruction at the university level.






Location Map

UKM started operating from Lembah Pantai, Kuala Lumpur in 1970, and in October 1977, it
