25 jam sehari.
Penyelidik ramal waktu berubah kerana putaran bumi makin perlahan
BERLIN: Sekumpulan penyelidik Barat mendakwa tempoh 24 jam sehari berkemungkinan menjadi 25 jam pada masa depan berikutan waktu siang yang kian panjang akibat kadar putaran bumi yang makin perlahan.
Akhbar Jerman Suddeutsche Zeitung memetik edisi terbaru Journal For The History of Astronomy melaporkan, bagi kebanyakan kita, masa siang yang panjang merujuk kepada peningkatan hari di hemisfera utara pada musim panas berbanding musim sejuk.
Namun, kalangan geosaintis mendakwa kajian menunjukkan tempoh hari siang yang panjang turut membabitkan musim lain termasuk musim bunga.
"Perkembangan itu boleh dikaitkan kepada asasnya iaitu bumi dan bulan. Sepanjang sejarah kewujudan manusia, putaran bumi kini semakin perlahan," kata penyelidik Universiti Durham, Richard Stephenson.
"Graviti dari bulan mewujudkan gelombang kekal di lautan dan di perut bumi. Ini sekali gus memperlahankan pergerakan bumi."
Pergerakan bumi menyamai aksi peluncur ais. Bagi memperlahankan gerakannya, peluncur itu perlu mendepakan tangannya.
"Begitu jugalah dengan bumi. Disebabkan itulah, daripada 24 jam had maksimum sehari ketika ini, kita sebaliknya mungkin menyaksikan pertambahan sejam kepada 25 jam sehari pada masa depan," katanya.
Stephenson yang juga ahli astronomi Britain dapat membuktikan yang putaran bumi semakin perlahan sejak 700 tahun sebelum Masihi.
Beliau mengkaji plat tanah liat dan hasil kajian sejarah yang mengandungi maklumat mengenai gerhana matahari dan bulan.
Semua maklumat itu digunakan bagi mengira laluan pemisah bumi.
Apa didapati, ketika era proto-haiwan menguasai bumi pada 530 juta tahun lalu, ada sebanyak 21 jam sehari.
Pada era zaman dinosaur 100 juta tahun lalu, jumlah itu meningkat kepada 23 jam sehari.
Bukti jelas lain boleh dilihat menerusi mendapan terumbu karang. Ini disebabkan terumbu karang menjadi petanda kalendar dan setiap tahun membentuk mendapan yang tebalnya berbeza mengikut musim.
Berdasarkan itu, saintis mengira perbezaan masa antara musim bunga dan didapati semakin perlahan sepanjang tempoh sejarah.
Kira-kira 530 juta tahun lalu, bumi berputar jauh lebih cepat berbanding hari ini dan pergerakannya dianggap lebih stabil.
Pada masa itu biarpun catatannya 24 jam sehari, tetapi bilangan hari setahun adalah 420 hari berbanding 365 hari.
Stephenson membuat rumusan itu berdasarkan maklumat ke atas beratus-ratus keterangan mengenai fenomena gerhana matahari dan bulan sejak 2,700 tahun lalu.
Mengikut maklumat Sistem Perkhidmatan Rujukan dan Putaran Bumi Antarabangsa (IERS), tarikh 13 Julai 2003 adalah hari paling pendek dalam masa 100 tahun.

Best Quotes From Samy Vellu ;)
Aku dapat dari email seorang kawan. JOm same same gelok sakang!!!
DS Samy Vellu finally and officially resigned from his post of the longest MIC President ever live, after leading the party for almost 31 years. The Malaysian Insiders has its story, here. Frankly, I will miss him very much especially for all his funny quotes he made all these years. Like what our Prime Minister said in the 2010 Barisan Nasional Conference, “We will miss DS Samy Vellu because he add a lot of color … sometimes a bit too much color”. Therefore, as a token of appreciation, I just wanna share his famous quotes ever made by the one and only, Samy Vellu.
1. Samy Velu quoted on Pos Laju:
"Besoh kirim, hari ini juga sampai"
2. On one TV news when he tried to say he felt very ashamed:
"Ini prekara sangat memalukan saya dan kemaluan saya sangat-sangat la besar"
3. Samy said in one of his “ceramah”:
"Kita akan bina satu jambatan wuntuk worang2 kampong di sini." Then one pakcik asked, "Datuk, sini takde sungai, buat apa bina jambatan?" And Samy gloriously replied, "Kalao takde sungai, kita bina sungai"
4. Samy's most favourite quote on the news for the decade is this:
"Toll naik sikit, banyak marah saya. You worang ingat semua ini toll saya punyer bapah punya kah!”
5. During water crisis:
"Semua worang diminta jangan membuang aiyerr!"
6. On social society's problem:
"Worang2 muda sekarang banyak suka hisap dade"
7. During blood donation's program at Sungai Siput:
"Marilah kita semua menderma dare"
8. His welcome speech in most of his functions:
"Selamat datang saudara-mara semua" (It should have been “saudara-saudari”)
9. During the height of the Al-Arqam's saga, he said in a press conference:
"Saya gumbira bahawa didapati tiada pemuda MIC terlibat dalam kes Arqam"
10. At an opening ceremony for a new building:
"Mempersilakan Datin Paduka Rafidah Aziz naik dari pentas wuntuk membuka kain"
And of course the world's greatest joke of all times:
"Kita akan bina roket pigi matahari." One of the reporter responded, "Tapi Datuk, matahari terlalu panas untuk didekati." Samy replied, "Itu tade masalah. Kita hantar waktu malam"
There you are folks. For DS Samy Vellu, we wish you all the best!

How to make your decks last longer
Secondly it's important to bend your knees when you land so you stress you board as less as possible
Slides
Never try darkslides on a rail:
1. Your deck will bent.
2. Your griptape will be ruined at the sides (don't worry about this, you can still skate on it).
3. Because you deck is concave, you will slide on the sides, so the pressure on the sides is pushing it upwards while your legs push it downwards. Result: a lot of stress on your deck and litte cracks will apear in your deck (you won't see them at first, but you will if you try) and after a lot of darkslides your deck will easely break with some boardslides (I am (again) the example for this).
This only applies for doing darkslides on rails, if you really want to do darkslides, do them on funboxes
Freestyle
If you are a serious freestyler and you like your deck then don't do the following tricks:
- - Pogo hops
- - Pogo spins
- - Truckstand hops
- - Truckstand spins It will ruin your tail, definately
Don't scrape your tail while in manual or to brake, your tail will be gone soon. =)
Skateboarding is about having fun, if want to do things I just said were bad, go ahead, have fun, but your deck will last shorter
TIPS
Always keep your damage decks somewhere and do not throw it away. Try to make use of it and create it into something else. Keep it and do not waste =)

it's only a rumour
Did you know the rumours have been wondering around for quite sometime? And everyone keep asking on Twitter and other social networks if it's true or just a rumour. Today's article on the front page created a lot of commotion among the public and FB users. Apparently what was quoted "where AITI decline to comment on the banning of Facebook" in BB today was a misrepresentation of Aiti as the comment was not even official.
I had a call from a reliable source to clarify the matter early afternoon. Hence, the "decline to comment on the banning of Facebook" is irrelevant and doesn't represent AITI's response to the said matter. I have been receiving lots of querries to this situation but after releasing the "good breaking news" on FB and Twitter but rest assured that there's no such policy to do ban Facebook to start off with.
I shall get the full press release once I have the email and post it up to share with you guys. As for now, you can continue updating your status or poke on someone :p

Aku Tak Bodoh The Movie : Official Trailer 1
At the same time, like any other young boy, he is trying to understand the lessons taught by his grandmother, Granie, that it is the utmost important value in Malay customary life that children or younger persons are strictly bound by custom to look upon parents or elders with respect, unquestioned loyalty and total obedience.

bad night.
Local man found hanging.
Kuala Belait- A 51-year-old local man died yesterday after he allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself from a 180-foot-tall tower.
A TelBru staff alerted the police at approximately 9.45am when he discovered the man hanging from the tower, 15 kilometres away from the main road of Jalan Kuala Balai in Belait District.
The police and Fire & Rescue personnel were immediately dispatched to the scene, where they learnt that the wire around the deceased's neck was a 1.5metre-long electric cable.
According to officers, he was found hanging 10-15 feet off the ground.
It took several hours to take him down, as firefighters had to climb up the tower using a rope to remove the cable.
After he was taken to hospital, medical officers pronounced him dead.
The police said at this juncture, they did not suspect any foul play.
Investigations are underway.
The body has been sent to RIPAS Hospital for an autopsy. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

Brunei Boring?
But what I like about Brunei is the following :
When I wake up, I can smell fresh air. I do not have to worry about air pollution in general unless some idiot started an open burning!;
No major traffic jam, apart from the usual office hours rush and maybe once in a 'blue moon' heavy rain; so you can get home within 13-30 mins at most. Compare if you live in megacities like Kuala Lumpur or Jakarta, where it will take an hour to pass thro our 15 mins time of traffic;
Everything is within reach. For me, the beach is only 5mins drive, airport 10 mins, Office 15 mins, Mall - 8 mins. Kids school - 10 mins. Family within - 10 to 1 hour. Accessibility is an important indicator.
We get to see latest movies and now 3D Cinemas. ( apart from the occasional projector cock-up! LOL)
Sports activities are everywhere. Football on the fields or even empty roads/fields. We can see them.
Food is questionably cheap! Nasi katok $1 available 24 hours. But what I heart most is the introduction of food from other cultures from migrant workers, that makes our city more cosmopolitan. Italy restaurants were unheard of, some 10 years ago. Now we got Pondok that sells Ayam Penyet , Thai, Japanese and Korean Restaurants. Cafe society is here as well with gourmet coffee that I like too.
Education, Internet Access that provided a good connection to the outside world.
Air links/ road and water connections to the region , if we need a change of pace of life.
Care to add the list?
At the end of the day, I guess Home is where the heart is!!
Having said that, I am sure many of us have a wish list that we would like to see happen here. For me, it would be good to have Arts/Theatre/Cultural Venue. We are much thankful that we do see local artists performance at corporate events. or cultural performances brought in by the Brunei Music Society or respective foreign Missions. But a real theatre works where local dramas/artists get promoted. Or even a Comedy Store/Cafe where we can laugh at ourselves on our antics.
So what is your take really?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1
http://Facebook.com/ClevverTV - Become a Fan!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I hits theaters on November 19th, 2010.
Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Tom Felton, Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy, Jamie Campbell Bower, Bonnie Wright, Helena Bonham Carter, Timothy Spall, Michael Gambon, Rhys Ifans, Maggie Smith, John Hurt, Jason Isaacs, Ciaran Hind
Part 1 begins as Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort's immortality and destruction-the Horcruxes. On their own, without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart.
Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous place for all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has begun and Voldemort's Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting anyone who might oppose them. But the one prize they still seek is the one most valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter. The Chosen One has become the hunted one as the Death Eaters search for Harry with orders to bring him to Voldemort... alive.
Harry's only hope is to find the Horcruxes before Voldemort finds him. But as he searches for clues, he uncovers an old and almost forgotten tale-the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he seeks.
Little does Harry know that his future has already been decided by his past when, on that fateful day, he became "the Boy Who Lived." No longer just a boy, Harry Potter is drawing ever closer to the task for which he has been preparing since the day he first stepped into Hogwarts: the ultimate battle with Voldemort.

FUCK ALL CHILD ABUSER!!! EAT SHIT LAH YOU!!!!
BREAK
Some of you may know my 'The Jo & Jul Show' (2009) which includes only 2 episodes and some of you may not. Well, for those who don't here is a link. Episode 1 & Episode 2. Its a 10-minute short film comedy which was suppose to be an ongoing entertainment. It didn't work out but it DID make a huge impact during the days on the local scenes. I was indeed proud with the response and support until one of them had to go abroad studies and show is canceled.
I've always wanted to make a drama of my own. But here? In Brunei? With my brain? Put both together and It'll never happen. Why? MIB.......(Melayu Islam Beraja). There's just so much errors. I know this cos I've once worked ina production in a very short period. Also picked out lots of infos from friends in the media field.
To me, filmmaking is not only a hobby, its my career. It's my job and its entertainment. Also, every short film I do is actually an experiment. I'm trying out different things, cameras, concepts, ideas etc. 'The Jo & Jul Show' was actually an experiment on whether I could get audience/viewers to enjoy a good laugh. It worked. And the idea was purposely to create characters that relates in the local scenes by adding some style. Such as episode 1 'The One With The Race' is basically about a self-centered person who cares only for himself. Secondly, never judge a fat guy that he'll lose in a race. - ADAM GROVES
'Break' is actually short for 'BreakTime' OR 'Recess as in, in school. Should notice the school uniform from the photos. The idea came to me one day that I wanted to try something with fighting. I've never done one before. Its pretty challenging because on the first day, I had to to direct the 2 actors to fight. Not that I know but by experiencing from movies I've watched. Every punch/kick are according to steps. We had to create the steps by making a partision then joining them up in post. It was hard I tell you. As for scripts, I decided to do this one in Malay. Brunei, Malay. Not standard. I hate it. I never liked the Brunei dramas where they write standard malay. Seriously, anybody around you talk standard? No right? They talk normal with the 'Ani...', 'Atu...', 'Awu...', 'Inda...'. So thats how I want them to speak, according to my scripts. I think its just way better an original.
The actors I've chose are not professionals. They are hand-picked to match the description on the character I've created. But everyone learns, and they'll get better and better once they've experience this. I've decided to shoot this with my Canon 7D as it is easy to carry around. Not mentioning how hard it was shooting 'The Jo & Jul Show' carrying the huge cam around and people can get nosey during a shoot. DSLRs are way easier to hide if you know what I mean. Even got the chance to test out the Rode mics out in the open field and the sound pickup on distance are brilliant.
Why 'Episode 0'? Because its my first pilot and introducing the actors before the actual story starts. Not that I've any idea what'll happen. There's just too many ideas I'm deciding at the moment. As for now, I've finish 3minutes of the short film. Got another 7minutes to shoot. Not sure how to do this with all the fasting this month. (Ramadhan). In fact, I've learn from my mistakes. May not release episode 0 until I've completed at least 1 more.
