A man returns home a day early

A man returns home a day early from a business trip. It's after midnight.

While en-route home he asks the cabby if he would be a witness.

The man suspects his wife is having an affair, and he wants to catch her in the act.

For $100, the cab driver agrees.

Quietly arriving home, the husband and the cab driver tip-toe into the bedroom.

The husband switches on the lights, yanks the blanket back, and there is his wife in bed with another man!

The husband puts a gun to the man's head.

The wife shouts, "Don't do it! I lied when I told you I inherited money.

HE paid for the Mecedes I gave you.

HE paid for our new cabin cruiser.

HE paid for your football season tickets.

HE paid for our house on the Costa del Sol

HE paid for our golf club membership, and HE even pays the monthly dues!"

Shaking his head from side-to-side, the husband lowers the gun.

He looks over at the cab driver and says "What would you do?"

The cab driver replies, "I'd cover him with that blanket before he catches cold."

Fish Eye Lens Photography

Who needs Instagram? Extraordinary landscapes of America captured with good old fish-eye lens By Tom Gardner PUBLISHED: 15:59 GMT, 18 April 2012 | UPDATED: 17:14 GMT, 18 April 2012   These stunning images should certainly give you a new perspective on the world. Photographer Randy Scott Slavin spent months taking hundreds of shots from some of the most iconic and beautiful parts of the U.S. to create his amazing collection of landscape pictures. The 34-year-old New Yorker used hi-tech computer software to stitch a series of snaps taken with a super wide angle 'fisheye' lens into one jaw-dropping 360 degree image to make. Curved: Photographer Randy Scott Slavin captured this stunning picture of the Empire State building in New York with a fisheye lens which enables him to get all 360 degrees of the city into view Topsy turvy: This amazing photographs shows Battery Park in New York as it's never been seen before with the ground warped around the sky His post-production work can take from a full day up to a couple of weeks to finish, but resulted in the stunning Alternate Perspective series which will be exhibited in July. Randy explains: 'In my music videos, I've continually tried to take concepts to the next level, to push the ideas to be more engaging, moving and stimulating-and I approach photography with the same philosophy.   'When I began shooting landscapes, I was compelled to push the perspective. After experimenting heavily with panoramic photography, I developed a technique that could realise my desire to turn the real into the surreal. The result is something rebellious, beautiful and provocative. My 'Alternative Perspectives' series is a collection of the works culled from these photographic explorations.' Randy - a cutting edge filmmaker and music video director for bands including Foo Fighters - travelled across America to seek out landscapes for his work, taking in views ranging from California to Florida. He says that the calming nature of the work is an antidote to his fast-paced New York lifestyle. Creative: Snapper Randy Scott Slavin not only used his technique to photograph iconic landmarks across the U.S. he also captured other picturesque locations, including this dock in Westport, Connecticut On tour: The 34-year-old headed to all four corners of the U.S. as part of his Alternate Perspective, taking this picture of the Big Sur, in California He said: 'I do the work that I do because it inspires and motivates me. I will eagerly jump out of bed at 4am to catch a sunrise, to hike, climb or endure treacherous weather for the good of the shot. The effort is always worth it. 'Taking great landscape photos are extremely difficult. The photographing of the images is the actually least time consuming part of the process. What takes the longest is finding the places that are worthy of shooting and getting to the spot that's best to shoot them from. 'You can't light landscapes so it's important to figure out what the best time of day is to take a photograph. Sometimes this means long hours of waiting and watching... This is one of the most meditative parts of the process and one which I really enjoy. Being from New York City, where the pace is blistering, there's nothing better than finding a beautiful spot and just watching the light change throughout the day. Randy chooses his location in different ways; sometimes stumbling onto an ideal shot or at other times knowing exactly what he is trying to capture. 'While on a vacation with my fiancé I took the image entitled Big Sur. Northern California is a magical place where epic elements collide. It's really hard to take a bad photograph there. Vision: The New Yorker, who has also directed music videos for bands including Foo Fighters, took himself out of his comfort zone with this landscape photography project Enveloping: The Everglades, in Florida, appear to close in on the viewer in this picture, which forms part of the Alternate Perspective series by photographer Randy Scott Slavin 'We spent the day on top of a cliff and the clouds had rolled in below us. It was like being in an airplane. I ran to get my gear and just barely caught the sunset. The scene was surreal even before I touched it in post. 'I found the location for Sea and Moon while driving on the Florida coastline. I saw a jetty that looked beautiful and the sun was about an hour from setting. Perfect timing. I ran out to the end and set up my gear. 'It was beautiful and warm with a light drizzle but the sky was heavy with dark clouds. As the sun was setting there was a moment maybe lasting for ten seconds where the sunlight was so golden It felt unreal. A minute after I got the shot the clouds opened up and it started to pour.' In July, Randy will exhibit his Alternate Perspective series at the opening of a new boutique by celebrity jewellery designer and goldsmith Kristen Farrell in Soho, New York. Painstaking: Randy Scott Slavin can take up to a hundred pictures of a scene to build up a 360 degree image before using clever computer software to stitch them together to make what is called a stereographic projection Clever: Technology is used to turn sometimes hundreds of pictures, in this case Redwood trees in Big Sur, California, into a single image

 

 

Kebenaran Islam Mengenai Kucing Sejak 1500 Tahun Yang Lalu

 

Nabi menekankan di dalam beberapa hadisnya bahawa kucing itu tidaklah najis. Malah diperbolehkan untuk berwudhuk menggunakan air bekas minuman kucing. Kenapa Rasulullah Saw berani mengatakan bahawa kucing tidak menjadi najis kepada manusia? Persoalannya, bagaimana Nabi mengetahui badan kucing tidak mempunyai najis? Jawapannya, kulit kucing mempunyai otot-otot yang berfungsi untuk melawan sel bakteria. Otot kucing juga dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan sentuhan otot manusia. Pada permukaan lidah kucing pula dilapisi oleh berbagai benjolan kecil yang runcing, benjolan ini berbentuk bengkok mengucup seperti kikir atau gergaji. Bentuk ini sangat berguna untuk membersihkan kulit. Ketika kucing minum, tidak ada setitis pun air yang akan jatuh dari lidahnya. Sedangkan lidah kucing sendiri merupakan alat pembersih yang paling canggih, permukaannya yang kasar boleh membuang bulu-bulu mati dan membersihkan bulu-bulu yang tersisa di badannya. Kajian Yang Dijalankan Telah dilakukan berbagai penyelidikan terhadap kucing mengikut pelbagai perbezaan usia, posisi kulit, punggung, bahagian dalam tapak kaki, bibir, dan ekor. Pada bahagian-bahagian tersebut dilakukan pengambilan sampel melalui usapan. Di samping itu, kuman juga diletakkan pada bahagian-bahagian tertentu. Diambil juga cairan khusus (air liur) yang berada pada dinding dalam mulut dan lidahnya. Hasil yang didapati selepas ujikaji adalah: 1. Hasil yang diambil dari kulit luar tidak mempunyai kuman, meskipun dilakukan berulang kali. 2. Tempat yang kuman sengaja diletakkan menunjukkan hasil negatif sekitar 80% (20% mempunyai kuman), jika dilihat dari air liurnya. Ini menunjukkan kucing dapat melawan kuman yang diberikan kepadanya. 3. Cairan yang diambil dari permukaan lidah juga menunjukkan ketidak hadiran kuman. Kuman enterobacter yang tidak merbahaya 4. Hanya sekali kuman dijumpai semasa proses penyelidikan. Kuman ini termasuk dalam kumpulan kuman yang dianggap sebagai kuman biasa yang selalunya membiak dalam tubuh manusia dalam jumlah yang kecil seperti enterobacter, streptococcus, dan staphylococcus. Jumlahnya kurang dan membiak dalam lingkungan 50 ribu pertumbuhan. 5. Kajian tidak menemui jenis kuman yang beragam dan berbahaya. Perbagai sumber yang dipercayai dan hasil penyelidikan laboratorium menyimpulkan bahawa kucing tidak mempunyai kuman dan mikrobakteria. Air liurnya bersih dan boleh membersihkan seluruh badannya. Ulasan para doktor yang bergiat dalam bidang kuman, Dr. George Maqshud, ketua laboratorium di Klinik Haiwan Baitharah, jarang sekali ditemui kehadiran kuman pada lidah kucing. Jika mempunyai kuman, itu menunjukkan kucing itu akan atau sedang sakit. Lysozyme menjadi agen pembersih di dalam tubuh kucing Selain itu, Dr. Gen Gustafsirl menemui kuman yang banyak pada anjing, manusia 25% dari anjing, kucing mempunyai separuh kuman dari manusia. Doktor haiwan di klinik haiwan Damaskus, Said Rafah menegaskan bahawa kucing mempunyai peranti pembersih yang bernama lysozyme. Kucing tidak menyukai air kerana air merupakan tempat yang sangat subur dalam pertumbuhan bakteria. Kucing juga sangat menjaga kestabilan suhu tubuhnya. Jika diperhatiakan, kucing tidak banyak berjemur dan tidak suka mendekati air. Tujuannya agar bakteria tidak berpindah kepadanya. Inilah yang menjadi faktor yang membuatkan kuman tidak ada pada tubuh kucing. Hadith-Hadith Mengenai Kucing Kabsyah binti Kab bin Malik menceritakan bahawa Abu Qatadah, mertua Kabsyah masuk ke rumahnya lalu ia menuangkan air untuk wudhuk. Pada masa itu datang seekor kucing yang ingin minum. Lantas ia menuangkan air di bekas untuk kucing itu minum. Kabsyah berkata, "Perhatikanlah". Abu Qatadah berkata, "Apakah kamu hairan?" Kabsyah menjawab, "Ya". Lalu Abu Qatadah berkata bahawa Nabi SAW pernah bersabda, Kucing itu tidak najis. Kucing binatang yang suka berkeliling di rumah (binatang rumahan), (HR At-Tirmidzi, An-Nasai, Abu Dawud, dan Ibnu Majah). Diriwayatkan Ali bin Al-Hasan dan Anas menceritakan bahawa Nabi Saw pergi ke Bathhan suatu daerah di Madinah. Lalu beliau berkata, "Ya Anas, tuangkan air wudhuk untukku ke dalam bekas". Lalu Anas menuangkan air. Ketika sudah selesai, Nabi menuju bejana. Namun terdapat seekor kucing datang dan menjilati bekas air tersebut. Melihat kejadian itu, Nabi berhenti sehinggakan kucing tersebut berhenti minum lalu Rasulullah berwudhuk. Nabi ditanya mengenai kejadian tersebut, beliau menjawab, "Ya Anas, kucing termasuk perhiasan rumah tangga, ia tidak dikotori sesuatu, malah tidak ada najis." Diriwayatkan dari Dawud bin Shalih At-Tammar dan ibunya yang menerangkan bahawa hambanya memberikan Aisyah semangkuk bubur. Namun ketika ia sampai di rumah Aisyah, tenyata Aisyah sedang solat. Lalu ia memberikan isyarat untuk menyimpannya.. Sayangnya setelah Aisyah selesai mendirikan solat, ia lupa adanya bubur. Datanglah seekor kucing lalu memakan sedikit bubur tersebut. Ketika Aisyah melihat bubur tersebut dimakan kucing, Aisyah lalu membersihkan bahagian yang disentuh kucing dan Aisyah memakannya. Rasulullah Saw bersabda, "Ia tidak najis. Ia binatang yang berkeliling". Aisyah pernah melihat Rasulullah Saw berwudhuk dari sisa bekas jilatan kucing, (HR AlBaihaqi, Abd Al-Razzaq, dan Al-Daruquthni). Kalaulah bukan dari wahyu Allah tentulah Rasulullah Saw tidak akan berani mengatakan bahawa kucing itu bersih. Segala sesuatu yang baru ditemui oleh para ilmuwan pada zaman moden ini, telah diketahui ilmunya oleh Rasul Kita Muhammad saw sejak 1500 tahun yang lalu. Wallahu'alam…. .
