Hoax yang Menyuburkan Iman

Hoax yang Menyuburkan Iman Sumber: http://www.piyunganonline.org/read/hoax-yang-menyuburkan-iman.html Di toko buku Wali Songo saya temukan sebuah buku berjudul "Science, Spirituality, & Quran" ditulis oleh Muhammad Taufik Hidayat, dan dipromosikan oleh Yusuf Mansur. Di sampul buku tertulis, "Hasil riset ilmuwan tingkat dunia terhadap Quran dan Hadist, untuk membuktikan bahwa Quran adalah wahyu Allah yang mustahil bisa dipalsukan oleh siapapun." Membaca judulnya saya sempat sangat tertarik. Tapi ketika sampai pada bagian itu, saya sudah bisa menduga. Saya intip isinya, persis seperti dugaan saya. Isinya adalah kumpulan hoax tentang riset-riset yang katanya dilakukan oleh orang-orang non-muslim, dan mereka menemukan bahwa hasil riset mereka sesuai dengan apa yang tertulis di Quran. Lalu mereka masuk Islam. Subhanallah. Salah satu di antara yang ditulis adalah tentang Jaques Yves Costeau. Dikabarkan bahwa Costeau menemukan fakta tentang tidak bers

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) gets results in less time

http://time.com/3965861/hiit-workout/ Can’t get to the gym? No problem! There’s a notion out there that you need to belong to a gym in order to maintain a fitness routine, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with leaving your house to get your sweat on, it’s also completely possible to get a great workout in the comfort of your own living room. This HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workout is the perfect fat -burning addition to any exercise program you’re currently doing. The best part? It will only take you 10 minutes, you can do it in front of the TV, and the only equipment you need is a stopwatch (or the timer on your phone). Perform each move below for 20 seconds, trying to get as many reps in as you can, followed by 10 seconds of rest. Do two full sets (meaning 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest, then repeat once) of each exercise before moving on to the next. Let’s HIIT it! Squat jumps Stand tall wi

The Great Politician Hack

https://business.f-secure.com/the-great-politician-hack/ An on-going investigation into the perils of public Wi-Fi worked with three British politicians to show how insecure public Wi-Fi access points can expose people and businesses to online threats. Businesses need to take note of how these politicians risked their privacy and confidential data so they could use public Wi-Fi hotspots, and ask themselves how many of their employees do the same. The experiment saw all three politicians leak confidential data while using public Wi-Fi – data that can be used to hack things like email, social media, and even bank accounts. It was conducted on behalf of F-Secure by the Cyber Security Research Institute and Mandalorian – an ethical hacking firm based in the UK. The politicians, deliberately selected from the most powerful chambers in UK politics, were Rt. Hon. David Davis MP , Mary Honeyball MEP , and Lord Strasburger . The exercise was carried out with the permission of

Ada tiga kesalahan dalam memandang Papua.

   https://www.facebook.com/ismailfahmibdg/posts/10153918961241729   ~~~~~~ Ada tiga kesalahan dalam memandang Papua. ●Pertama, Papua identik dengan koteka, ●Kedua, hanya orang-orang primitiv dan ●Ketiga, Identik dengan Kristen. Padahal, itu keliru Untuk poin pertama dan kedua boleh jadi benar, bahwa di kawasan-kawasan tertentu di pedalaman bumi cenderawasih ini, hingga hari ini masih diketemukan masyarakat dengan pola hidup primitif, sebagian masih mengenakan koteka, serta menjalani hidup secara kanibal. Hal itu terjadi karena beberapa faktor, seperti terbatasnya akses informasi (atau bahkan ketiadaan informasi yang mereka terima) serta luasnya kawasan tersebut yang hampir 4 kali luas pulau Jawa. Bahkan, Papua, termasuk pulau terbesar kedua di dunia setelah Greenland di Denmark. Fakta lain yang selama ini terselimuti kabut tebal adalah populasi Muslim di kawasan ini. Banyak orang yang bertanya-tanya, adakah orang Islam di Papua? Adakah komunitas muslim pri

PCG, A Family of Better Random Number Generators

http://www.pcg-random.org/ PCG is a family of simple fast space-efficient statistically good algorithms for random number generation. Unlike many general-purpose RNGs, they are also hard to predict. Random Number Generation Is Important Algorithmic random number generators are everywhere, used for all kinds of tasks, from simulation to computational creativity. Learn more about algorithmic random number generation... But despite their widespread use, the odds are that you're using a flawed random number generator. What's Wrong with Your Current RNG Most random number generators in widespread use today have one of the following problems: Not Actually Random Behaving like a true and unbiased source of randomness seems like a fundamental requirement that any random number generator ought to satisfy, yet many RNGs fail statistical tests for randomness.

Amal Shalih Dengan Uang Syubhat atau Haram?

http://www.eramuslim.com/peradaban/pemikiran-islam/amal-shalih-dengan-uang-syubhat-atau-haram.htm Ada tiga jenis barang di dalam Islam, yaitu halal, haram dan syubhat (tidak jelas halal dan haramnya). Halal itu jelas , syaratnya ada dua, yaitu: apa-apa yang baik, tidak dilarang syariat DAN diperoleh dengan cara yang haq pula. Dua syarat ini harus terpenuhi kedua-duanya. Haram itu jelas , syaratnya ada dua, yaitu: apa-apa yang diharamkan oleh syariat ATAU apa-apa yang diperoleh tidak dengan cara yang haq. Dua syarat ini, jika terpenuhi salah satu saja, sudah cukup untuk membuat sesuatu itu menjadi haram. Ketika dihadapkan kepada daging babi, biasanya seorang muslim dengan mudah menolaknya, dengan alasan haram. Sesuai dengan syarat keharaman yang pertama, yaitu apa-apa yang diharamkan oleh syariat. Di antaranya Allah berfirman: إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ بِهِ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَ

50 Fakta Indonesia Memprihatinkan

DARI LAPAK SEBELAH JUST FYI : Di masa Raffles (1811) pemilik modal swasta hanya boleh menguasai lahan maksimal 45 tahun; di masa Hindia Belanda (1870) hanya boleh menguasai lahan maksimal selama 75 tahun; dan di masa Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (UU 25/2007) pemilik modal diperbolehkan menguasai lahan selama 95 tahun. Teritorial Indonesia (tanah dan laut) telah dibagi dalam bentuk KK Migas, KK Pertambangan, HGU Perkebunan, dan HPH Hutan. Total 175 juta hektar (93% luas daratan Indonesia) milik pemodal swasta/asing(Sumber : Salamuddin Daeng(SD), Insititut Global Justice (IGJ)   Sebanyak 85% kekayaan migas, 75% kekayaan batubara, 50% lebih kekayaan perkebunan dan hutan dikuasai modal asing. Hasilnya 90% dikirim dan dinikmati oleh negara-negara maju. Sementara China tidak mengekspor batubara, Sekarang kita harus bertarung di pasar bebas dagang dengan China – Asean. Ibarat petinju kelas bulu diadu dengan petinju kelas berat dunia. Pasti Knock-Out ! Siapa yang melindungi rak

Now the truth emerges: how the US fuelled the rise of Isis in Syria and Iraq

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/03/us-isis-syria-iraq he war on terror, that campaign without end launched 14 years ago by George Bush, is tying itself up in ever more grotesque contortions. On Monday the trial in London of a Swedish man, Bherlin Gildo, accused of terrorism in Syria, collapsed after it became clear British intelligence had been arming the same rebel groups the defendant was charged with supporting. The prosecution abandoned the case, apparently to avoid embarrassing the intelligence services. The defence argued that going ahead withthe trial would have been an “affront to justice” when there was plenty of evidence the British state was itself providing “extensive support” to the armed Syrian opposition. That didn’t only include the “non-lethal assistance” boasted of by the government (including body armour and military vehicles), but training, logistical support and the secret supply of “arms on a massive scale”. Reports were cited that

Retirement At 45 And 8 Other Simple Reasons Greece Is Imploding Right Now

http://dailycaller.com/2015/07/03/retirement-at-45-and-8-other-simple-reasons-greece-is-imploding-right-now/ Greece is in the financial equivalent of complete and total panic right now, and the rest of the European Union is trying to figure out what to do with them. Though Greece has been facing financial trouble for a while, it wasn’t until 2009 when things got really bad. The Friedrich Ebert Foundation ( FES) reports that in that year Greece went from a fiscal crisis to a sovereign debt crisis before finally going into a recession. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and European Commission have tried to help Greece out of the crisis by encouraging reforms in exchange for financial assistance. Negotiations, however, have stalled. 1. Political Favors And Corruption Greek politicians and officials take much of the blame for their country falling into a crisis. According to FES , politicians used civil services and other public sector agencies to exchange politi
