Kepala dalam plastik
Oleh Mary Victoria Dass

2010/04/29 JOHOR BAHRU: “Jantung saya bagaikan tercabut apabila menemui bungkusan plastik hitam berisi kepala manusia,” kata pekerja syarikat kontraktor mengangkut sampah yang tidak menyangka rutin mengasingkan bahan buangan sejak beberapa tahun membawa kepada penemuan mayat seorang lelaki bogel dikerat enam.


DI SINI...tempat mayat lelaki yang dikerat enam ditemui. Lelaki belum dikenal pasti identitinya yang diceraikan kepala, badan, dua tangan dan dua kaki sebelum disumbat dalam tiga beg plastik sampah, ditemui di pusat pengumpulan sampah di Jalan Bakti, Kawasan Perindustrian Dato’ Onn, Larkin di sini, kira-kira jam 11.50 pagi semalam.

Difahamkan, anggota badan mangsa dicampak ke dalam tong sampah besar di sebuah kompleks beli-belah di Taman Perling di sini, sebelum diangkut ke pusat pengumpulan sampah berkenaan.


Pekerja yang mahu dikenali sebagai Kumar, 40-an, berkata mayat itu ditemui ketika dia bersama empat rakan sedang mengasingkan sampah di pusat pengumpulan sampah berkenaan.


Menceritakan pengalaman menakutkan itu, Kumar berkata, dia bertugas seperti biasa ketika membuka timbunan plastik sampah yang dibawa sebuah lori sebelum mendapati sebuah beg plastik mengandungi sesuatu yang keras dan lebih berat berbanding bahan buangan lain.


“Sebaik membuka beg plastik itu, saya nampak seolah-olah kepala patung. Bila diperiksa dengan betul baru saya sedar ia kepala manusia.


“Pengalaman pagi tadi (semalam) cukup mengerikan dan mengakibatkan saya trauma kerana tak sangka bungkusan itu mengandungi kepala lelaki berkulit cerah.


“Saya menggigil ketakutan tapi tetap beranikan diri memberitahu pengurus bertugas sebelum pemilik pusat pengumpulan sampah melaporkannya kepada polis,” katanya.


Sementara itu, Ketua Polis Daerah Johor Bahru Utara, Asisten Komisioner Ruslan Hassan, berkata beg plastik mengandungi anggota badan manusia yang dikerat itu diambil daripada tong sampah sebuah pusat beli-belah di Taman Perling, kira-kira jam 11.15 pagi.


“Hasil siasatan mendapati 80 peratus daripada tubuh mangsa masih lengkap. Selain kepala, kami menemui baki badan lelaki berkenaan dalam dua lagi beg plastik hitam,” katanya.


Menurutnya, mayat lelaki itu berkemungkinan warga asing berdasarkan keadaan fizikalnya.


Katanya, mayat berkenaan dihantar ke hospital untuk siasatan lanjut dan pihaknya percaya mangsa dibunuh di tempat lain sebelum dicampak ke tempat pembuangan sampah di belakang pusat beli-belah berkenaan.


“Siasatan mendapati lelaki terbabit berusia 20-an, berkulit cerah dan mungkin dibunuh dalam tempoh 24 jam sebelum ditemui.



“Kami masih berusaha mengenal pasti lelaki terbabit kerana tiada sebarang dokumen ditemui di tempat pembuangan sampah berkenaan.


“Kami juga akan menjalankan siasatan lanjut termasuk pergi ke kawasan pembuangan sampah di Perling untuk melihat sama ada terdapat kamera litar tertutup (CCTV) dipasang di sekitarnya bagi mengenal pasti identiti mangsa dan penjenayah yang terbabit,” katanya.

Tangisan suara halus
Oleh Nor Hazwani Hamat

2010/04/29 TANAH MERAH: “Saya terdengar suara jeritan bayi tapi tak tahu di mana. Sebaik membuka pintu rumah, saya terkejut apabila mendapati seorang bayi dibalut dengan kain selimut ditinggalkan di beranda rumah,” kata Sukma Abdullah, 53.


MALANG...bayi yang ditinggalkan Dia menemui seorang bayi lelaki di rumahnya di Jalan Wan Ahmad, dekat sini, kira-kira jam 12.30 tengah malam semalam.

Menurut Sukma, sebelum itu dia sedang bersiap untuk tidur sebelum dikejutkan dengan suara tangisan bayi.


Katanya, dia yang tinggal berseorangan agak takut kemungkinan diganggu ‘makhluk halus,’ namun sangkaannya meleset apabila dikejutkan dengan kehadiran bayi itu.


“Ketika itu, saya ingin masuk tidur tapi terdengar suara bayi. Saya takut dan turut menyangka tangisan itu adalah anak jiran yang mungkin sakit.


“Saya kemudian memeriksa dalam rumah sebelum membuka tingkap dekat pintu utama. Saya terkejut kerana ternampak ada ‘benda’ di beranda rumah sebelum memberanikan diri membuka pintu untuk melihat dari dekat. Saya terkejut mendapati ia seorang bayi,” katanya.


Sukma berkata, dia yang panik kemudian terus memberitahu jiran berhampiran sebelum menghubungi polis.


Katanya, dia turut hairan bagaimana ada individu boleh meninggalkan bayi di situ sedangkan terdapat ramai orang lalu lalang di depan rumahnya untuk mengunjungi pasar malam.


“Bayi itu ditinggalkan dalam keadaan sempurna dan sihat cuma terdapat sedikit kesan darah,” katanya.


Bayi seberat 3.3 kilogram itu dikatakan baru berusia dua hari dan masih bertali pusat.


Ketua Polis Daerah Tanah Merah, Deputi Superintendan Abdul Aziz Mahmud, berkata, pihaknya bergegas ke tempat kejadian sebaik menerima maklumat awam.


Katanya, bayi terbabit didapati dalam keadaan berbungkus dengan kain tuala dan selimut.


“Bayi terbabit kemudian dibawa ke Hospital Tanah Merah bagi mendapatkan rawatan segera di unit kecemasan sejurus kemudian.



“Setakat ini bayi itu ditempatkan di Wad Penjagaan Kanak-kanak dan suspek masih dicari,” katanya.


Menurutnya, polis turut meminta kerjasama pegawai Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah selain orang ramai untuk membantu siasatan.


“Semakan akan dibuat di sekolah menengah bagi mengenal pasti pelajar yang tidak hadir ke sekolah untuk tempoh beberapa hari dan beberapa klinik swasta sekitar daerah bagi membantu siasatan.


“Mereka mempunyai maklumat boleh menghubungi Inspektor Mardiana di talian 09-9557704,” katanya.

H1N1: 16 pelajar MRSM Bentong masih dikuarantin
KUANTAN 28 April - Seramai 16 pelajar Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) Bentong masih dikuarantin di bilik pengasingan sekolah tersebut setelah disahkan positif Influenza A (H1N1).

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kerajaan Tempatan, Alam Sekitar dan Kesihatan negeri, Datuk Hoh Khai Mun berkata, mereka terdiri daripada 10 pelajar perempuan dan enam lelaki.

"Tiga orang telah dirujuk ke hospital untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Bagaimanapun, semua kes adalah stabil," katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui di luar persidangan Dewan Undangan Negeri Pahang di Wisma Sri Pahang di sini, hari ini.

Beliau berkata, sehingga semalam, sebanyak 50 kes kejadian kluster H1N1 dikesan di sekolah berkenaan, bagaimanapun 31 daripada pelajar terbabit dibenarkan pulang ke rumah bersama ibu bapa masing-masing.

Khai Mun berkata, Pejabat Kesihatan Bentong akan terus menjalankan pemantauan setiap hari terhadap pelajar dan kakitangan MRSM terbabit bagi mengesan sebarang kes baru, jika ada.

"Secara keseluruhan, kejadian kluster di MRSM Bentong adalah terkawal dan keadaan para pelajar terlibat adalah stabil," katanya.

Beliau memberitahu, sehingga semalam, sebanyak 142 kes H1N1 dilaporkan di negeri ini, selain 24 kejadian kluster melibatkan 11 sekolah dan 13 institusi lain.

Bagi membendung penularan penyakit tersebut katanya, Jabatan Kesihatan negeri mengambil langkah-langkah pencegahan dan kawalan seperti pemantauan penyakit serupa influenza (ILI), meningkatkan tahap kesiapsiagaan dan pendidikan kesihatan serta pemberian vaksin.

"Ketika ini, penyakit ini aktif balik melibatkan jangkitan tempatan. Kebanyakannya disebabkan kecuaian orang ramai yang tidak ambil berat tentang H1N1 dan langkah-langkah pencegahan penyakit tersebut," katanya.

Mengenai suntikan vaksin H1N1, beliau berkata, kumpulan sasar yang ingin mendapatkan suntikan tersebut dinasihati supaya terlebih dahulu membuat temu janji kerana suntikan tersebut hanya boleh diberikan apabila terdapat 10 orang pada satu-satu masa.

"Harap orang ramai faham bahawa vaksin datang dalam satu botol yang boleh menghasilkan 10 dos untuk 10 orang.

"Apabila botol vaksin dibuka, ia mesti dihabiskan," jelasnya.

Tips dan Cara Memformat Ulang Hard Disk dan Menginstall Ulang OS Windows atau Linux pada Komputer PC / Laptop - Petunjuk Teknis
Mon, 19/06/2006 - 1:23pm — godam64
Masalah yang bersifat fatal dan parah bisa saja terjadi kapan dan di mana saja tidak memandang merk dan harga komputer pc / laptop anda. Terkadang komputer tidak bisa masuk ke windows akibat banyak hal seperti terkena virus, file booting hilang, bad sector, komputer lambat, komputer sering hang, salah seting dan berbagai masalah lainnya.

Jika berbagai cara sudah anda lakukan dan belum mendapatkan hasil yang memuaskan maka jalan pintas / singkat yang paling baik adalah dengan cara format ulang harddisk / hard drive yang ada di koputer pc / laptop anda. Pada tips ini akan diberikan beberapa langkah mudah yang dapat anda lakukan sendiri tetapi tidak secara mendetail. Bila anda butuh bimbingan anda bisa menanyakan di forum situs organisasi.org ini. Mudah-mudahan saya atau kawan lain dapat membantu anda.

A. Langkah dan Tahap Format Ulang Hard Disk

1. Back up / bekap file penting anda yang ada pada hardisk karena dengan format akan menghapus semua file yang ada di hard disk anda. Jika anda punya cd-rw drive atau dvd-rw drive anda bisa membakar file anda ke dalam cd atau dvd. Cara lain backup adalah dengan flash disk, disket floppy, disket zip, pindah file ke jaringan network lan atau internet pada komputer atau server lain dan lain-lain.

2. Setelah backup selanjutnya adalah membuat windows boot disk / rescue disk pada disket floppy 1.4 MB. Disket ini bertujuan untuk booting langsung ke disket tidak melalui harddisk anda. Istilahnya anda akan menggunakan os microsoft dos yang ada pada disket yang anda buat.

3. Ganti Setting Bios
Saat komputer dinyalakan anda harus langsung masuk ke tampilan bios untuk setting pilihan urutan boot. Caranya ketika komputer baru dinyalakan anda menekan dan menahan tombol delete sampai bios muncul di layar monitor komputer anda. Ganti urutan booting dengan urutan pertama floppy disk.

4. Format Hard Disk
Setelah bios diganti serta disave anda masukkan disket kemudian restart komputer anda. Nanti komputer anda akan otomatis boot dari disket tersebut dan pilih boot without cd-rom supaya proses booting bisa lebih cepat. Setelah masuk ke command prompt a:\ ketik format c: lalu tekan enter. Disesuaikan dengan jumlah partisi anda yang ada. Jika anda punya partisi 3 buah maka tambah perintah format d: dan format e:. Tips dan cara mempartisi hard disk mungkin bisa anda cari di kotak search di sebelah kiri halaman artikel ini. Jika format telah selsesai beri nama drive tersebut sesuai selera anda. Jika semua beres dan berjalan lancar maka proses format ulang telah selesai. Kini harddisk anda menjadi seperti baru kembali.

B. Langkah dan Tahap Install Ulang OS Windows dan Linux

1. Install Windows 98 / 2000 / ME / XP / Vista / Linux
Langkah pertama dalam mengistall ulang operating system pada komputer pc atau laptop anda adalah booting ulang ke disket anda dan pilih support cd-rom device. Setelah keluar command prompt lalu anda masukkan cd instalasi os anda sesuai selera anda. Kemudian cari drive cd-rom atau dvd-rom anda dengan mengetik d: atau e: dan lain sebagainya sesuai lokasi drive cd atau dvd rom anda. Setelah ketemu anda kemudian cari file setup.exe dengan perintah cdnama folfer untuk masuk ke dalam folder. Perintah cd.. untuk mundur satu folder level. perintah dir atau dir/w atau dir/p untuk melihat list file yang ada pada folder tersebut. Kalau sudah ketemu maka jalankan setup.exe atau install.exe dengan mengetik nama file tersebut lalu tekan tombol enter satu kali saja. Langkah berikutnya anda tinggal mengikuti perintah yang ada pada installasi cd atau dvd os.

2. Setting Settingan Boot pada Bios
Setelah install ulang windows atau linux selesai, maka keluarkan disket flopyy 1,4 anda dan masuk kembali ke menu bios setelah restart ulang. Pilih IDE-0 sebagai first boot. Floppy bisa anda seting menjadi boot kedua dan cd-rom menjadi boot ketiga. Anda bebas menentukannya sesuai dengan keinginan anda. Sehabis itu direstart ulang kembali.

3. Install Driver dan Software
Jika sudah berhasil masuk ke tampilan windows atau linux awal, selanjutnya anda nginstall driver untuk sound card, printer, scanner, kabel data, dan sebagainya sesuai hardware yang ada. Anda harus mencari dan memiliki sendiri driver tersebut. Setiap jenis komputer memiliki driver yang berbeda. Biasanya anda akan diberi cd driver saat anda membeli komputer atau hardware lainnya. Tanpa driver maka peralatan yang terhubung pada komputer laptop atau pc tidak dapat berjalan sebagaimana mestinya.

IP Address

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical label that is assigned to devices participating in a computer network, that uses the Internet Protocol for communication between its nodes.[1] An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing. Its role has been characterized as follows: "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there."[2]

The designers of TCP/IP defined an IP address as a 32-bit number[1] and this system, known as Internet Protocol Version 4 or IPv4, is still in use today. However, due to the enormous growth of the Internet and the resulting depletion of available addresses, a new addressing system (IPv6), using 128 bits for the address, was developed in 1995[3] and last standardized by RFC 2460 in 1998.[4] Although IP addresses are stored as binary numbers, they are usually displayed in human-readable notations, such as 208.77.188.166 (for IPv4), and 2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:1:1 (for IPv6).

The Internet Protocol also routes data packets between networks; IP addresses specify the locations of the source and destination nodes in the topology of the routing system. For this purpose, some of the bits in an IP address are used to designate a subnetwork. The number of these bits is indicated in CIDR notation, appended to the IP address; e.g., 208.77.188.166/24.

As the development of private networks raised the threat of IPv4 address exhaustion, RFC 1918 set aside a group of private address spaces that may be used by anyone on private networks. They are often used with network address translators to connect to the global public Internet.

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which manages the IP address space allocations globally, cooperates with five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) to allocate IP address blocks to Local Internet Registries (Internet service providers) and other entities.

DOING THE DEED

You now know what crossover cables are used for. You know why you need one. You also know what you need to make one, so I guess we're ready... First thing you will want to do it cut off the appropriate length of cable that you will need. Be sure that it is plenty long enough. If you screw up, and don't cut it long enough, you will have to start all over, and you will not only waste you time, but cable and the RJ-45 ends as well. If you are pulling this cable through a wall, or ceiling, make sure the pulling is completed first. It is much more difficult to pull a cable with the ends already on it. So you have all the parts, you understand the concepts, and you have your cable, lets get started!
Baby steps... 1) - Start by stripping off about 2 inches of the plastic jacket off the end of the cable. Be very careful at this point, as to not nick or cut into the wires, which are inside. Doing so could alter the characteristics of your cable, or even worse render is useless. Check the wires, one more time for nicks or cuts. If there are any, just whack the whole end off, and start over.
2) - Spread the wires apart, but be sure to hold onto the base of the jacket with your other hand. You do not want the wires to become untwisted down inside the jacket. Category 5 cable must only have 1/2 of an inch of 'untwisted' wire at the end; otherwise it will be 'out of spec'. At this point, you obviously have ALOT more than 1/2 of an inch of un-twisted wire, but don't worry - well take care of that soon enough.
3) - Up to this point, things have been pretty easy. Things will get a little bit tricky here, but don't worry, we'll get through this together. We are at a point in this article where a decision needs to be made. You need to decide which end of the cable you are making at this point in time. If you are making your cable from scratch like I am doing while writing this article, you have 2 end jacks, which must be installed on your cable. If you are using a pre-made cable, with one of the ends whacked off, you only have one end to install - the crossed over end. Below are two diagrams, which show how you need to arrange the cables for each type of cable end. Decide at this point which end you are making and examine the associated picture below.


568a - standard end(you will need one of the ends onyour cable to look like this)
Crossed over end wire pattern(you will want the other end to looklike this) Begin to untwist the twisted exposed wires on your cable. Use caution so that you do not untwist them down inside the jacket. Once you have all the wires untwisted begin to arrange them in the proper order based on the pictures above. This stage can be a pain in the ass, especially some of the middle wires. Once you get all the wired arranged in the proper order, make sure your wire cutters are within reach then grasp them right at the point where they enter the jacket. Make sure you keep them in the proper order! Grab your cutters now. Line them up along your prepared wires about 1/2 inch above the jacket. Be sure at this point that you are both 1/2 inch above the jacket, and that your cutters are aligned straight across the wires. You want to make a clean cut here - also make sure you don't let go of that jacket / wires!
4) - Don't worry. From this point forward things get a lot easier. Grab your jack, and begin to slide the wires into the jack. Once you get to the point where the jacket begins to enter the jack things might get a little tough, but just have some patience and hold onto those wires. It will fit in there just fine. Once it is in as far as it will go the wires should extend almost to the front of the jack, and about 3/8 of an inch of the jacket will be inside the jack. Like the pictures below.
5) - Grab those crimpers - because not all crimpers are exactly the same your pictures may not match exactly what you see below. Be sure to keep a good grip on that jack and the cable. Insert the jack into the crimper. It should only go in one way, so you don't have a whole lot to worry about inserting it. Begin to compress those crimpers. You will more than likely hear a clicking sound. Keep squeezing. If you try to let go to early, nothing will happen. They will not release. Keep going until they stop clicking / stop moving all together. At this point, you should be able to let go of the jack, and the crimpers. The crimpers should release now leaving you with a crimped jack. If the crimpers do not release, you probably are a wimp and didn't press hard enough. Go ask your mom to help you at this point. She can probably finish what you started.


Insert the jack into the crimper
Crimp it! Crimp it good! 6) - It's time to examine what we have done. If you look at the end of the jack (distal), you should see that the copper connectors should not be pressed down into the wires. Toward the back of the jack (where the jacket meets the jack) it should be crimped securely holding the jacket / cable in the jack. If something has gone wrong, don't worry, its not the end of the world. Grab those cutters, and just whack the whole jack off and start back at step 1 (a pain in the ass I know, but its better to have a cable that works, than to spend hours trouble shooting your PC trying to figure out why you can't see the other machine). If everything is cool, all you have to do now is make the other end of the cable (unless you are using a pre-fab cable and have whacked one of the ends off), so go back to step one, and make the other end now.

WHAT YOU NEED CABLE

Be sure the cable(s) you are using is properly rated for CAT 5. It should state clearly on the jacket of the cable, what it is rated at. One option that you have when selecting your cable is to use a pre-made normal 'straight through' cable, and simply whack off one of the ends, and replace with a new "Crossed Over" end. For the purpose of this article, though, we aren't going to go that route. We are going to make the whole thing from scratch - using bulk CAT 5 cable.
Keep everything within hands reach of you... Connectors - Crossover cables are terminated with CAT 5 RJ-45 (RJ stands for "Registered Jack") modular plugs. RJ-45 plugs are similar to those you'll see on the end of your telephone cable except they have eight versus four contacts on the end of the plug. Also, make sure the ends you select are rated for CAT 5 wiring. There are also different types of jacks which are used for different types of cabling (such as Solid Core wire). Make sure you buy the correct jacks for your cabling. Crimper - You will need a modular crimping tool. My advice on what brand to get? Well, I really don't have a preference at this point, but make sure you buy a good one. If you spend about 40 to 50 bucks, you should have one that will last ya a lifetime. Spend 10 to 20 bucks, and you might be able to make a few cables with it if you're lucky. You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to crimpers! Stripper - No I'm not talking about what Spot had at his bachelor party, I am talking about a tool to strip the ends off the wires you pervert! There are several specialized tools, which can be used to strip the jackets off of cabling. If you do not have access to one of these tools, cautious use of a razor blade or knife should work just fine - but keep in mind if you go the razor blade / knife route, extra special care must be used as to not damage the wires inside the jacket. Cutters - You need a pair of cutters that will allow you to cut a group of cables in a straight line. It is very important that all the wires are the same lengths, and without proper cutters, this can be a difficult task.

Introduction -This document shows how to properly construct a Crossover network cable. This cable can be used to directly connect two computers to each other without the use of a hub or switch. The ends on a crossover cable are different from each other, whereas a normal 'straight through' cable has identical ends. Their uses are shown in the following diagrams.
Crossover cable use 'Straight Through' cable use Typically the ports on a hub are MDIX ports. This allows the machine at the other end to utilize its MDI Port (which is what typically a NIC card uses) without the need for a crossover cable. When I say that the ports on the hub are MDIX ports, what I mean is that one of the functions of the hub is to automatically perform the crossover functions, which are required to properly align the cables with each other. When no hub or switch is used, your cable itself must physically perform these crossover functions. To expand on this a little, when using a hub or switch, the Transmit wires on the workstation need to be connected to the Receive wires on the hub; likewise, the Receive wires on the hub need to be connected to the Transmit wires on the workstation. But if you remember what we stated earlier - cables which are run from PC to Hub are 'straight through' type cables. This is because the hub is providing the required crossover functions internally for you. Thus, when you connect two machines together without the use of a hub or switch, a crossover cable is required - because both 'ends' are essentially the same - a NIC Card. The crossover function must take place somewhere, and since there is no hub or switch to do it for you, the cable must. Now that we know what a crossover cable is for, let's talk for a few about types of cabling. The two most common unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) network standards are the 10 Mbit (10BASE-T Ethernet) and the 100Mbit (100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet). In order for a cable to properly support 100 Mbit transfers, it must be rated Category 5 (or CAT 5). This type of low loss extended frequency cable will support 10 Base T, 100 Base-T and the newer 100VG-AnyLAN applications. Other types of cabling include Category 3 which supports data rates up to 16 Mbps, and Category 1 which only supports speeds up to 1Mbps. The cable we are about to make is considered Category 5, and will work on both 10 Mbit and 100 Mbit systems, assuming all components used (cables and jacks) are rated for Category 5.
