Mercedes GP Petronas

Stuttgart/Kuala Lumpur - Mercedes GP is delighted to announce the signing of a long-term agreement with PETRONAS which will see the Malaysian national oil and gas company become the title partner to the new Silver Arrows works team.

From 2010, the new team will compete in the FIA Formula One World Championship as the Mercedes GP PETRONAS Formula One Team and will carry the distinctive PETRONAS branding across the car and team liveries.

Leveraging Mercedes-Benz's rich motorsport heritage and the long-standing involvement of PETRONAS in Formula One, the new title partnership also paves the way for future collaborations between the two companies. For PETRONAS, the partnership will enable the oil and gas giant to generate sustainable business growth, particularly in their downstream lubricants market, through the strategic partnership and business alliance with Mercedes-Benz, one of the most prestigious global automotive brands.

The Mercedes GP PETRONAS Formula One Team's challenger for 2010 will make its track debut in its new livery at Valencia on 1 February 2010 for the first of the pre-season tests ahead of the 2010 Formula One season.

PETRONAS will continue to be the title sponsor of the PETRONAS Malaysian Grand Prix, scheduled to be the third race of the new season, which will take place at the Sepang International Circuit on 4 April 2010.

Norbert Haug, Vice-President of Mercedes-Benz Motorsports, said: "We are very pleased to begin our long-term partnership with our new title partner PETRONAS. Daimler, our premium brand Mercedes-Benz and PETRONAS will work together both on and off the track and I am sure that everybody involved will guarantee their absolute dedication to success. PETRONAS' home base in Kuala Lumpur is located in the middle of a fast-growing region for the automotive industry which makes this new partnership even more valuable. Within the limits of the new Formula One resource restrictions, the Mercedes GP PETRONAS Formula One Team will be well positioned to achieve our goals. We will all strive to present
efficient success in the future knowing at the same time that the new Formula One season with some fundamental rule changes will be a particularly challenging one."

Ross Brawn, Team Principal of the Mercedes GP PETRONAS Formula One Team commented: "Everyone at Mercedes GP is delighted to confirm our long-term agreement with PETRONAS and we look forward to working closely with our new partner in the future. The collaboration of the premium automotive brand Mercedes-Benz and a company as prestigious as PETRONAS gives our team a fantastic base from which to achieve our ambitions of competing at the top level of Formula One and building on the success of 2009 which saw the team achieve the Constructors' and Drivers' Championships. Our plans for the new season are progressing well, as is the development of our 2010 challenger, and we look forward to seeing the car run in the new Silver Arrows and PETRONAS livery at the Valencia test in February."

Berakhir penantian selama 20 tahun...

Setelah berhempas pulas selama 96 minit, akhirnya Malaysia ditabalkan sebagai pemenang pingat emas bagi acara bolasepak... Dgn keputusan ini juga berakhirnya penantian pasukan bolasepak M'sia dan rakyat M'sia selama 20 tahun untuk memenangi pingat emas acara tersebut..
1st half game mmg nampak pasukan M'sia agak berhati-hati dan mencari rentak yang sesuai untuk menyerang pasukan Vietnam namun benteng pertahanan pasukan M'sia berjaya menahan serangan demi serangan pasukan Vietnam.. 2nd half menampakkan kegarangan pasukan M'sia dengan pergerakan dan serangan yang lebih mantap membuatkan pasukan Vietnam tertekan namun sekali sekala pasukan Vietnam melakukan serangan juga keatas gol M'sia.. paling aku sakit hati bila goal keeper Vietnam asyik berlakon sakit berkali-kali, kalau betul2 sakit tukarler keeper baru, nak drang timeler tuh, taktik lama... overall game mmg mantap n menampakkan kematangan permainan bolasepak pasukan M'sia dan membuatkan Jurulatih Pasukan Vietnam telan balik apa yang dia cakap di akhbar... hu3

Petfinder.my... how it's begin?

by Andy Koh, April 18th 2008 (founder of Pet Finder) LONG, LONG AGO, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away... Ok - it wasn't that long ago, and neither was it far away. Exactly 1 month back and 2 kilometers away it was. The journey began from the fateful day of March 18th 2008, when a distress call dragged me to consciousness from deep sleep. My friend, Shan Hui who was staying nearby spotted an injured puppy at the roadside and was frantically trying to figure out the best course of action. According to sources, the poor puppy was likely knocked down by her irresponsible owner a few blocks away.

My mind was racing back and forth picturing various options and scenarios while I eagerly drove over to get a piece of the action. Ah, there it was - such a cute, adorable little female puppy! My friend's family have carried her into the house, and she was painstakingly trying to crawl to a nearby metal container for shade. Something was definitely wrong - she was dragging herself with just the front legs.

Wasting no further time, we quickly chauffeurred her to the vet. It was discovered that her right hind leg was dislocated by the accident's impact, and she was put on a plaster cast for 2 weeks. We approached the owner, who appeared reluctant to bear responsibility and baulked at the RM280 medical bill. Fearing that we would claim it from him, he told us to keep the puppy. We named her Chanelle - a word that we believe aptly described her elegance and charm. Unfortunately, we were unable to foster Chanelle for long as my friend's brother was asthmatic. We decided to seek a suitable adopter for her, and executed a string of online announcements in pet forums, social networks and emails. Veterans at the forums were extremely helpful and provided kind support and advice on locating suitable adopters. There were a number of enquiries, but nothing materialized.

The lucky break came when I discussed this with my old time buddy and friend-cum-animal lover, Ezer Ratchaga. Having rescued a number of puppies in the past, he advised me to place an ad in The Star newspapers' classifieds. "It's the best way to get your pet adopted," said Ezer. "I used to take abandoned puppies from the jungle behind my house and list them in the classifieds and lots of people would call. It's a no-brainer really. A lot of people are looking to buy a puppy and if you put up an ad that says, FREE PUPPIES, people would jump." And sure enough, the response was overwhelming with just a simple 4-liner ad placed in a Saturday Star's Metro section. Filtering through the 30+ calls received, I shortlisted a few candidates which we invited over to meet Chanelle.

One of the adopters, Mrs.Tan, turned out to be the perfect match for Chanelle. A family of dog lovers with 2 kids that truly adore Chanelle, they are able to shower her with all the love and care she deserves. And so, Chanelle became the newest member of their happy family, with a mini pinscher companion to chase around the house. And till this day, she is leading a comfortable and luxurious life, fully recovered from her injury and naughty as ever. NO - THE STORY HASN'T ENDED YET... (That was just the beginning!) Ok, let's cut to the chase - during the process, I was exposed to an active community of dog rescuers and adopters in the online forums. What I realized was that many kind-hearted people were doing a great job rescuing and fostering homeless dogs, but the problem lies in effectively seeking suitable adopters - be it the difficulty in cost, time or reach of audience. Why not team up all these people into an organized group?

I talked to Ezer about this and together we came up with a comprehensive website which will incorporate a lot of tools for the pet-loving community of Malaysia to further the plight of thousands of animals. The service will start off with a discussion forum, classifieds and adoption profiles of pets seeking a loving home, and a Hall of Shame to expose the people who are cruel to animals.


Thus, PetFinder.my was conceived.


This service would address 3 important missions:

To Facilitate Better Communications
Right now there is a lack of organized presentation of information to potential adopters and communications / requests are often ad-hoc. By having a system with properly profiled pets, rescuers and adopters, a lot of back-and-forth communication can be eliminated, resulting in much more effective rescue efforts, location of temporary foster homes, and pairing of the dogs and adopters.

Economy Of Scale
Instead of having each of the rescuers putting up individual ads in websites, newspapers etc, we can now promote a single, unified resource - the website. Ads can be directed towards this website and enquirers can be presented with much more choices by selecting from our pool of pets available for adoption. In fact, the chances would be higher for adopters to find a suitable pet this way.

Educating The Public
To generate a vibrant non-profit community within our service, providing assistance to the public and educating people on how to manage pets responsibly. This service will also serve as a forum for the public to expose irresponsible owners that ill-treat their pets. Although we do not have the authority to punish these owners, we can use the power of media to put a shame on them. We can also assist SPCA and PAWS in reaching out to more adopters and donors.


I envision a cohesive network of rescuers, fosterers and adopters effectively cooperating to provide loving care and shelter for these neglected animals. I strongly believe that we should do our level best to assist the less fortunate in this world - be it humans, animals or wildlife. Together with Ezer and a team of dedicated volunteers, we set out to develop PetFinder, hoping that our little contribution here can help put a comfortable home over the heads of more animals.

Petrol Octane and your Honda: Is RON95 suitable?

1st of all i'm quite curious when i'm pumping ron95 fuel onto my car, lots of question come in my mind, is it can be use in my car? how bout the performance? can the engine sustain itself with differ octane?... i'm keep on surfing the net for answer until i found this article from Smart Wheel, now i know.... :)

The government has just announced the new prices of petrol in Malaysia and we are looking at RM1.80 per liter for RON95 now, which was what RON97 was previously priced at. This is up from RM1.75 per liter pre-September 2009. As for RON97, it has been hiked to RM2.05 per liter.

All cars from Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd are compatible with RON95. Yes, even the Civic Type R, with a catch of course. But the Civic Type R is a high performance, high-revving sedan, how can this be? Let’s take a look at what RON95 and RON97 actually are to have a better understanding of petrol octane.

RON stands for Research Octane Number, a rating used to measure a fuel’s knock resistance in spark-ignition internal combustion engines. What exactly is ‘knocking’ and why must a fuel resist it?

See, the combustion chamber is one really heated up place. Combustion explosions can happen a few hundreds or thousands times a second. If an engine is sometimes tuned too aggressively, the engine may ‘knock’. Knocking is what happens when arts or all of the air-fuel mixture prematurely ignites before the flame from the spark plug can reach it.

When this happens, it causes a decrease in performance. Also, the engine has no way of predicting or controlling how this rogue flame behaves so it might damage your engine. Basically knock resistance is a measurement of how likely it is your fuel can withstand self-ignition.

It is a misunderstanding to think that RON97 petrol are able to produce more power than RON92, even more so with the fact that a higher RON number actually means the fuel combusts less easily! If you engine does not require RON97 and can work on RON95, pumping RON97 will likely only result in an emptier wallet.

If you’ve been able to sense a difference between RON97 petrol and RON92 petrol in the past it could be because of a significantly different additive packages added to each type of petrol by the fuel company. Look for companies that claim the same additive package or mix added to each octane grade they sell for similiar performance between octane grades.

Now back to the Civic Type R. All Honda engines have a device called a “Knock Sensor” which can detect knocking and automatically adjust the engine’s spark timing to prevent engine knocking. The Type R’s engine was designed for RON100 fuel in Japan in order to get the maximum horsepower but since it has a knock sensor it can work on RON97 fuel. It can run on RON95 too, however performance and fuel consumption will be affected, so it’s best to feed it with the highest octane fuel you can find.

PENAMPILAN dan gaya mereka saling tak tumpah seperti satu pasukan elit tentera yang sedia bertempur dengan musuh di medan perang.

Itulah keunikan dan tarikan ketika berkesempatan menyaksikan kira-kira 100 pemain ‘paintball’ bermain senario (scenario) paintball atau woodsball di Paintball Valley, Taman Pertanian Malaysia, Shah Alam, baru-baru ini.

Sekalipun sekadar satu permainan senjata bebola warna, aksi pertempuran mereka ketika saling berbalas tembakan persis pertempuran sebenar.

Yang menarik, semua pemain paintball yang datang dari seluruh Malaysia menempa sejarah tersendiri apabila secara langsung terbabit dengan acara Paintball Global BT Big Games (BTBG) 2009 yang diadakan serentak di 82 lokasi seluruh dunia membabitkan penyertaan 6,000 pemain.

Pastinya ia memberi pengalaman berharga buat pemain yang menyertai acara paintball untuk tujuan pertunjukan di peringkat antarabangsa itu, tambah pula ia pembabitan pertama negara sebagai satu lokasi program dianjurkan pengeluar peralatan paintball terkenal, BT International.

Antara kumpulan paintball terkenal dalam negara yang menyertai BTBG adalah ML Tank Corps, Unknown, PBM, Sleeping Fox, UKGG, Malcon, Regiment 66, Hammer, Marauders, Funny Farmers, Traitors dan Flankers.

Penuntut, Md Nabil Md Nassir, 22, dari Kumpulan Unknown, berkata dia teruja sepanjang menyertai BTBG kerana ia bukan saja membabitkan ramai pemain paintball, malah dimainkan dengan pelbagai misi dan meliputi kawasan luas iaitu 20 ekar.

Lagi pula, katanya, pelbagai prop atau barangan tiruan tambahan disediakan di sekitar tapak permainan seperti kubu pertahanan, menara dan perkampungan perang yang direka mirip dengan situasi sebenar ketika peperangan.

“Ia memang menyeronokkan dan saya berasa diri bagai askar. Misi kami juga mencabar kerana ‘peperangan’ berlaku antara kumpulan besar serta meliputi kawasan luas.

“Tambah pula, BTBG dijalankan serentak di seluruh dunia dan ia seolah-olah membuatkan kami berdepan peperangan besar. Ia banyak memberi pengalaman baru dan memberi kepuasan maksimum kepada saya,” katanya yang belajar di Sekolah Kejuruteraan Audio.

Sedikit mengenai BTBG, walaupun sekadar permainan untuk tujuan pertunjukan, ia antara usaha BT menghargai pengusaha padang permainan dan pemain paintball di seluruh dunia.

Antara negara yang terbabit dalam BTBG adalah Amerika Syarikat, Australia, United Kingdom, Itali, Perancis dan Afrika Selatan selain Malaysia. Di Malaysia, BTBG dikendalikan oleh Delta Paintball Malaysia Sdn Bhd (DPSB).

Daripada 6,000 pemain seluruh dunia yang bermain untuk BTBG, ia dibahagi kepada dua kumpulan iaitu Red Rangers dan Blue Batalion.

Format permainan adalah menaikkan bendera kumpulan masing-masing dalam sesuatu misi dan mencari barang tersembunyi dengan konsep ala mencari harta karun.

Pelajar dan pemain baru kumpulan Unknown, Muhd Asyraaf Md Nizam, 15, dari Bagan Datoh, Perak berkata, perkara penting perlu ditekankan dalam format permainan kategori senario atau woodsball adalah kerjasama tinggi di kalangan pemain, fokus dan mengikut strategi permainan.

Katanya, daripada segi teknik permainan, terutama ketika melakukan serang hendap atau mempertahankan kubu masing-masing, pemain perlu merancang dengan teliti setiap tindakan diambil.

“Tidak boleh membabi buta melakukan serangan kerana ia memudahkan musuh membalas serangan. Jika silap percaturan, kita boleh terperangkap dengan strategi lawan hingga memudahkan kita ditawan musuh.

“Itu yang menarik mengenai permainan ini. Ia bukan sekadar untuk berseronok, tapi turut membuat saya rasa bagaikan dalam situasi perang sebenar,” kata pelajar Sekolah Menengah Agama Irshadiah, Bagan Datoh itu.

Peniaga, Rahim Razali, 37, dari kumpulan Unknown dan lebih lima tahun bermain paintball berkata, selain untuk rekreasi, paintball juga membentuk aspek kepemimpinan dalam diri seseorang.

“Ia (bermain paintball) mampu membentuk peribadi seseorang kerana permainan ini mementingkan kerjasama berpasukan, mematuhi ketua kumpulan dan membentuk disiplin diri.

“Selain itu, ia membantu remaja menyertai aktiviti lebih berfaedah daripada terbabit dengan pelbagai gejala negatif lain,” katanya.

Sementara itu pengurus DPSB, Roslin Abu, yang bertanggungjawab menjayakan BTBG berkata, permainan paintball kini semakin mendapat sambutan orang ramai.

“Ada lebih 40 padang permainan di seluruh negara. Ini petanda positif dalam pembangunan sukan dan permainan paintball sendiri.

“Dengan adanya pelbagai aktiviti dan pertandingan membabitkan paintball, sama ada tempatan dan antarabangsa, ia sedikit sebanyak menjadi pengisian positif buat remaja dan bermanfaat untuk masyarakat,” katanya.

H1N1 - Apa anda perlu tahu...

Apa itu H 1N1?

viral novel influenza type A H1N1. ianya berasal dr virus avian flu (selsema burung H5N1) yang telah menjangkiti babi @ khinzir
dan telah bergabung dengan swine flu (yg sepatutnya hanya menjangkit ternakan babi sahaja) dan telah evaluasi (mutasi) untuk penyesuaian diri di dalam 'host'
yg lebih tinggi di dlm rantaian makanan @ manusia. dan semasa di dlm badan manusia, sekali lagi ia berevolusi supaya ia menjadi 'air born' dan menjangkit
dr manusia kpd manusia.

jangka hayat virus

Oleh kerana ia adalah viurs yg air born, ia hanya boleh bertahan di udara selama 2 hingga 8 jam sahaja. jika selepas tempoh
tersebut ia idak mendapat perumah @ host( badan manusia) ia akan mati. Maka bilik yang dibiarkan selama 24 jam dengan air
ventilation yg baik.....akan 'bersih' dr virus tersebut.

Apa yg perlu tahu ?

Asal virus ini

Sebenarnya telah terdapat outbrake di US sebelum terjadi outbrake di mexico tp tidak dilaporkan kpd WHO. kemungkinan outbrake ini
telah dikesan dan US mahu 'baling batu sembunyi tangan' lalu tercetus la outbrake di mexico.

virologi virus H1N1

incubation period yg singkat pada purata 2 hari dgn julat 1 - 4 hari ini bermakna ia cepat menyerang badan manusia
setelah ia menjangkit pesakit pesakit akan menunjukkan simptom selepas 1 hari dijangkit paling cepat dan selewat2nya hari
ke-4 H1N1 sebenarnya adalah selsema biasa namun kpd pesakit yg berisiko, ia dapat membunuh. jika pesakit adalah seorang yg normal, ia hanya
akan memberi kesan seperti demam selsema biasa dan batuk.

cara serangan

virus ini boleh disebarkan melalui batuk, bersin dan percakapan virus ini akan menyerang sistem pernafasan ( seperti selsema burung dan
SARS) peringkat awal, ia hanya pada 'trakea' jika tidak mendapat rawatan awal, ia akan menyerang paru2 dan boleh menyebabkan kematian
akibat 'lung collapse' ia amat merbahaya kpd golongan yg berisiko tinggi

siapa yang berisiko
1.orang yg ada masaalah 'obesiti' @ gemok
2. perempuan yg mengandung
3 .orang yg ada astmatic
4 . orang2 yg bermasalah dgn sistem imunisasi ( menjalani 'operation yg besar', kanak2 yg belum cukup suntikan imunisasi, golongan2 yg rendah tahap imuniti eg. HIV ext.)
* kematian yg telah dilaporkan terdiri drpd golongan2 di atas

simptom2

day 1 - rasa kurang sihat, tak bermaya
day 2 - selsema, batuk dan demam yg kekal ( demam tidak turun walaupun telah mkn ubt demam)
day 3 - rasa kurang selesa di bahagian dada dan sesak nafas
day 4 - sakit dada yg teruk....... .jumpa doktor dengan segera...... .
day 5 and above lung collapse @ koma

langkah2 kawalan
1 - golongan2 yg berisiko, elakakn drpd kesesakan ( kawasan yg padat dgn orang ramai)
2 - menjaga kebersihan diri, basuh tangan selalu dan dgn betul, jaga kebersihan rumah dan persekitaran
3 - elakkan diri jika terdapat 'orang batuk, bersin dan kurang sihat'
4 - jika kurang sihat, elakan diri dr beraktiviti (sosial dan berkumpulan)
5 - jika kurang sihat dan ada ILI ( influenza light illness @ selsema biasa) jgn hadirkan diri di kawasan orang ramai. jika terpaksa, pakai 'mask' (sekurang2 nya 3 ply
mask)
6 - utk org yg sihat, elakkan dr kawasan yg padat.
7 - jika ada tanda2 simptom diatas, segera ke hospital untuk pemeriksaan dan rawatan
8 - jika sihat, jgn ke hospital atau klinik utk 'checkup' kerana di kawasan tersebut mengandungi bnyk virus.
9 - tak perlu ambil anti-viral @ apa2 ubt influenza!!! !!!!!!!. jika sihat dan mengambilnya, akn mengakibatkan resistan kpd
vaksin @ ubt2 untuk merawat jika terkena jangkitan. ini adalah kerana berlakunya resistansi virus terhadap persekitaran badan yg telah mengambil ubt2 tersebut
terlebih awal.
10 - vaksin hanya akan 'wujud' seawal2nya pada oktober dan hanya utk 'frontliner' shj. dan utk awam selewat2nya pada 2010.
11 utk makluman, influenza test hanya dijalankan di 2 makmal shj di malaysia. mengambil masa 6 jam utk run test kpd 1 batch sample..
jika klinik menyatakan mereka boleh jlnkan ujian, itu tidak betul. tak perlu ambil suntikan seasonal influenza kerana ia tidak berkaitan.
12 - tahap kesedaran dan pengetahuan yg tinggi amat perlu utk kita sama2 menghadapi outbreak ini. sama2lah kita berdoa kpd
ALLAH s.w.t agar bala ini cepat berlalu. Amin.

Replacing the aging MiG-29N

Pengumuman oleh Menteri Pertahanan baru2 ini bagi menggantikan pesawat tempur MiG-29N disambut baik oleh anggota TUDM dan rakyat M'sia, rata2 berpendapat sudah sampai waktunya pesawat tempur ini diganti dengan pesawat baru yang setanding dan mampu menyaingi negara jiran dari segi interceptor... pakej yang ditawarkan sekian lama oleh Saab tiba2 kembali hangat diperkatakan kerana pakej yang ditawarkan adalah termasuk sistem AWACS erieye dan TUDM sedang memacu pasukan kearah modernisasi yang memerlukan sistem pengesan/penjejak/jammer udara namun ada jugak pihak tidak suka dengan Saab Gripen kerana pesawat ini beroperasi dengan satu enjin tetapi harus diingat bahawa single engine sekarang tidak sama dengan teknology single engine dahulu, lagipun kebanyakan persenjataan Gripen boleh di-swap antara Su-30MKM dan F/A-18... penggunaan anggota bagi tugas penyelenggaraan pesawat agak kurang berbanding dua engine disebabkan single engine dan sudah tentulah keperluan alat ganti engine agak berkurang dari dual engine... dibawah adalah gambar2 pesawat yang mungkin akan dimasukkan kedalam senarai pendek bagi penggantian MiG-29N

Saab Gripen

Dasault Rafael C

Eurofighter Typhoon

p/s : F/A-18EF dan F-15 mungkin juga akan dimasukkan kedalam senarai pendek, kita tunggu jerk senarai yang akan diumumkan nanti.. rasanya LIMA tahun nih banyak jugak pesawat yang akan membuat tribute, untuk lobby kontrak... he3
