Apabila Apple meng-upgrade Mac OS Tiger kepada Mac OS Leopard, features terbaru yang merasuk kami adalah iChat (1)  yang lebih mengujakan. Lantas baru – baru ini sempena dengan pra  annual meeting secretlab, (yang telah dibrandingkan dengan nama “Pre-Rejuvenate 2009″), kami telah menggunakan medium iChat untuk membuat simulasi perbincangan online  atau Online Meeting Simulation. Konsepnya adalah, berkomunikasi secara online (2) sambil membincangkan satu topik lantas membuat satu presentasi.

Sebelum anda dinikmatkan dengan kemudahan video chat terbaru ini, harus difahamkan dahulu :

a. Meeting online adalah meeting diantara 2 pihak yang berjalan di 2 lokasi yang berbeza
b. secara online
c. boleh kongsi file presentation seperti keynote / pdf / jpeg / video

Namun untuk simulasi ini, kami duduk bertentang mata. Berikut adalah contoh snapshot visual iChat diantara kami.

Ini pula snapshot semasa Azrai membuat presentasi menggunakan keynote. ( ala2 powerpoint )

Berikut adalah keadaan sebenar yang berlaku ketika presentasi. Sepatutnya secara simulasi ideal, kami harus berada di lokasi yang berbeza. Namun kesukaran untuk mencari kawasan WIFI menyebabkan kami berimaginasi yang kami berada diruang yang berbeza.

Hasil Eksperimen

Hasil dari perlakuan simulasi ini didapati bahawa iChat sangat efektif dalam melaksanakan Online Meeting. Namun beberapa hal harus diambil kira:

a. Paling mudah antara Mac user sahaja, kecuali anda install iChat dalam window. Bolehkah kita install iChat dalam windows?

Namun cara yang lebih mudah adalah mac user menggunakan iChat manakala windows user menggunakan AIM.

b. Boleh rekod perbincangan namun secara misteri, file yang telah direkod tidak dijumpai.

c. Perbincangan 2 hala sahaja ( Khairulazizi + Azrai ). Perbincangan 3 hala ( khairulazizi + Azrai + secretlab ) kami belum cuba sebab ketika ini tiada seorang staff secretlab pun di ofis.

d. Kadangkala connection failure akibat dari kerendahan bandwith provider di lokasi.

In order to know the dos and don’ts of studying Islam as a group, we can heed advice given by some companions of the Prophet Muhammad [Allah's peace and blessings be upon him]:

‘Ikrimah bin Abî Jahl narrated that ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Abbâs said, “Preach to the people once a week, and if you won’t, then preach to them twice; but if you want to preach more, then let it be three times (a week only) and do not make the people fed-up with this Qur’ân. If you come to some people who are engaged in a talk, don’t start interrupting their talk by preaching, lest you should cause them to be bored. You should rather keep quiet, and if they ask you, then preach to them at the time when they are eager to hear what you say. And avoid the use of rhymed prose in invocation for I noticed that Allâh’s Messenger and his Companions always avoided it.”
[Sahih Al-Bukhâri 8/349]

The following steps need to be taken in order to start a Quran study circle:

Get people together. Without people, there is no group, but even two people can start a study circle. You can get your best friend or sister to come over for starters. If you have time, you can make flyers or posters about the study circle, and put them up on your building notice board, or have them distributed in your neighborhood. With time, the word will get out and soon, people might bring a friend or a neighbor. That is how the circle will expand.
Assign roles to each member of the group. If one person is the most knowledgeable in the Quran and good at oration, then he could be the speaker, while another could offer a room of his house as the circle venue, especially if his house is larger. Another person can bring a small snack to be eaten at the end of the circle, during discussion. As the group size increases, there will be more roles and a greater need for being organized, so assigning roles is important.
Select a suitable time. The time, duration and weekly frequency of the group should be decided, keeping in mind the schedules of all those who attend. For example, if the majority of the group members are stay-at-home mothers, a good time would be mid-morning, when children are at school. If the group consists of working men, they can arrange a study circle on the weekend or after the last prayer (’isha) on a weekday. The intention is for everyone to enjoy studying the Quran and sunnah consistently, and not be overburdened. Abdullâh bin Mas‘ûd narrated, “The Prophet used to be considerate of us in preaching, by selecting a suitable time, so that we might not get bored.” [Sahih Al-Bukhâri 1/68] The duration of the group should be enough to cover important topics without people getting exhausted or bored. An hour or so is usually more than enough.
Set an agenda or timetable for the group. There is an ocean of knowledge to gain! However, wisdom must be employed in choosing the topics to delve into. For example, in the first 10 minutes, a few verses of the Quran can be recited. The next 20 minutes can be given to translation and exegesis/explanation of those verses. After that, a paragraph or two from any book of the Prophet Muhammad’s sunnah [his way of life, his mannerisms] can be read out. Finally, the last 15 minutes can be dedicated to a discussion on the practical application, in everyday life, of the knowledge just gained. The circle should be culminated with collective invocation/prayer to Allah/dua.
Act upon what is taught. It is very important to intend to act upon the knowledge of the Quran being acquired. If group members see that they are not changing for the better, they should politely remind each other to act upon what they have learned. They should kindly exhort others towards patience, constancy and steadfastness, especially if a student becomes unmotivated. That is one of the main purposes of group-based learning: Students keep each other tied into the group.
Abû Wa‘il Shaqîq bin Salamah narrated that ‘Abdullâh bin Mas‘ûd used to give a religious talk to the people on every Thursday. Once a man said, “O Aba ‘Abdar-Rahman! (By Allâh) I wish if you could preach to us daily.” He replied, “The only thing which prevents me from doing so is (the fear) that I bore you, and I am considerate of you in preaching by selecting a suitable time just as the Prophet used to do with us, for fear of making us bored.” [Sahih Al-Bukhâri 1/70 and Muslim]

OK , this is serious. For those who think and suspect that secretlab is a gay office, you should be think twice. Welcome to Miss Wani, our new secret.family. Wani will help us on programming. That make us 6 people now.

What is the best thing about 6? It takes 6 phase for god to create this whole universe.

Read : English Yusuf Ali: “[50:38] We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days, nor did any sense of weariness touch Us.”

The secret of any development or any creation, just don’t cut it short. Make it six, and you’ll see the different!

Banyak lagi kata-kata beliau yang ditulis…. cuma amik sedikit je utk di postkan disini….Mai r sama2 renungkan…jom..jom… =)

-Tujuan agama yang benar dan ilmu yang benar hanyalah satu iaitu menuju kebenaran yang mutlak. Ilmu untuk mengetahui dan agama untuk merasai. Ilmu untuk bendanya dan agama untuk jiwanya. (Hamka).

-Perhatian kepada agama pada zaman ini sudah jauh lebih maju daripada yang sudah-sudah. Disamping kejahatan yang bermaharajalela,keinsafan kepada agama sudah mulai tegak. Di mana-mana orang mengadakan pengajian kerena hendak mengetahui ajaran-ajaran agama. (Hamka).

-Agama tidak melarang sesuatu perbuatan kalau perbuatan itu tidak merosak jiwa. Agama tidak menyuruh, kalau suruhan tidak membawa selamat dan bahagia jiwa. (Hamka).

-Maksud agama ialah merentangkan jalan, manakala fikiran ialah membanding dan menimbang. (Hamka).

-Tiga sifat yang ditimbulkan oleh agama, iaitu perasaan malu iaitu enggan mendekati suatu yang tercela. Boleh dipercayai di dalam pergaulan hidup (amanah), benar dan jujur. (Hamka).

-Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan itu telah ada dalam lubuk jiwa manusia. Tetapi kepercayaan tentang adanya Allah itu belum menjadi jaminan bahawa orang itu tidak sesat. (Hamka).

Hurm…bagi sy….semua agama itu mendorong ke arah kebenaran…tapi siapa yang yang menyesatkan agama itu sendiri?..mmm…tetarik pada ayat ini “…kepercayaan tentang adanya Allah itu belum menjadi jaminan bahawa orang itu tidak sesat”…Jadi,bak kata Ahmad Nabil ‘Lu Pk r sendiri~’ =) salam…Peace!

“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.” – Rumi

Yes, we have moved in into the new Secret Headquarters ( Ouh like there is another…) after 1 year planning the “reconstruct the secret” campaign. Though we not yet come into the culmination of the re-branding package but deep in our heart this is the next step of Secretlab.Media, the next chapter.

Thank you to all secret.family that has given a lot of energy and time towards this physical hijra’ and may one day we achieve the highest secret of all.

The term “parallel universe” is more general, without any connotations implying a relationship (or lack thereof) with our own universe. A universe where the very laws of nature are different (for example, it has no relativistic limitations and the speed of light can be exceeded) would in general count as a parallel universe but not an alternative reality.

Hyperspace
Main article: Hyperspace (science fiction)
Perhaps the most common use of the concept of a parallel universe in science fiction is the concept of hyperspace. Used in science fiction, the concept of “hyperspace” often refers to a parallel universe that can be used as a faster-than-light shortcut for interstellar travel. Rationales for this form of hyperspace vary from work to work, but the two common elements are:

- at least some (if not all) locations in the hyperspace universe map to locations in our universe, providing the “entry” and “exit” points for travelers.

- the travel time between two points in the hyperspace universe is much shorter than the time to travel to the analogous points in our universe. This can be because of a different speed of light, different speed at which time passes, or the analogous points in the hyperspace universe are just much closer to each other.

Sometimes “hyperspace” is used to refer to the concept of additional coordinate axes. In this model, the universe is thought to be “crumpled” in some higher spatial dimension and that traveling in this higher spatial dimension, a ship can move vast distances in the common spatial dimensions. An analogy is to crumple a newspaper into a ball and stick a needle straight through, the needle will make widely spaced holes in the two-dimensional surface of the paper. While this idea invokes a “new dimension”, it is not an example of a parallel universe. It is a more scientifically plausible use of hyperspace. (See wormhole.)

While use of hyperspace is common, it is mostly used as a plot device and thus of secondary importance. While a parallel universe may be invoked by the concept, the nature of the universe is not often explored. So, while stories involving hyperspace might be the most common use of the parallel universe concept in fiction, it is not the most common source of fiction about parallel universes.

If you see this lady turning in clockwise you are using your right brain.
If you see it the other way, you are using left brain.
Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one way.

If you can see and “control” the images turning either direction you wish, your IQ is probably above 160.
Then see if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain’s current.

“BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN”

This was proved at Yale University, over a 5 year study on the human brain
and it’s functions. Only 14% of the US population can see her move both ways.
