Top 10 Interview Tips

Great interviews arise from careful groundwork. You can ace your next interview if you:
  1. Enter into a state of relaxed concentration. This is the state from which great basketball players or Olympic skaters operate. You'll need to quiet the negative self chatter in your head through meditation or visualization prior to sitting down in the meeting. You'll focus on the present moment and will be less apt to experience lapses in concentration, nervousness, self-doubt and self-condemnation. 
  2. Act spontaneous, but be well prepared. Be your authentic self, professional yet real. Engage in true conversation with your interviewer, resting on the preparation you did prior to coming to the meeting. Conduct several trial runs with another person simulating the interview before it actually occurs. It's the same as anticipating the questions you'll be asked on a final exam. 
  3. Set goals for the interview. It is your job to leave the meeting feeling secure that the interviewer knows as much as he or she possibly can about your skills, abilities, experience and achievements. If you sense there are misconceptions, clear them up before leaving. If the interviewer doesn't get around to asking you important questions, pose them yourself (diplomatically) and answer them. Don't leave the meeting without getting your own questions answered so that you have a clear idea of what you would be getting yourself into. If possible, try to get further interviews, especially with other key players. 
  4. Know the question behind the question. Ultimately, every question boils down to, "Why should we hire you?" Be sure you answer that completely. If there is a question about your meeting deadlines, consider whether the interviewer is probing delicately about your personal life, careful not to ask you whether your family responsibilities will interfere with your work. Find away to address fears if you sense they are present. 
  5. Follow up with an effective "thank you" letter. Don't write this letter lightly. It is another opportunity to market yourself. Find some areas discussed in the meeting and expand upon them in your letter. Writing a letter after a meeting is a very minimum. Standing out among the other candidates will occur if you thoughtfully consider this follow up letter as an additional interview in which you get to do all the talking. Propose useful ideas that demonstrate your added value to the team. 
  6. Consider the interviewer's agenda. Much is on the shoulders of the interviewer. He or she has the responsibility of hiring the right candidate. Your ability to do the job will need to be justified. "Are there additional pluses here?" "Will this person fit the culture of this organization?" These as well as other questions will be heavily on the interviewer's mind. Find ways to demonstrate your qualities above and beyond just doing the job. 
  7. Expect to answer the question, "Tell me about yourself." This is a pet question of prepared and even unprepared interviewers. Everything you include should answer the question, "Why should we hire you?" Carefully prepare your answer to include examples of achievements from your work life that closely match the elements of the job before you. Obviously, you'll want to know as much about the job description as you can before you respond to the question. 
  8. Watch those nonverbal clues. Experts estimate that words express only 30% to 35% of what people actually communicate; facial expressions and body movements and actions convey the rest. Make and keep eye contact. Walk and sit with a confident air. Lean toward an interviewer to show interest and enthusiasm. Speak with a well-modulated voice that supports appropriate excitement for the opportunity before you. 
  9. Be smart about money questions. Don't fall into the trap of telling the interviewer your financial expectations. You may be asking for too little or too much money and in each case ruin your chances of being offered the job. Instead, ask what salary range the job falls in. Attempt to postpone a money discussion until you have a better understanding of the scope of responsibilities of the job. 
  10. Don't hang out your dirty laundry. Be careful not to bare your soul and tell tales that are inappropriate or beyond the scope of the interview. State your previous experience in the most positive terms. Even if you disagreed with a former employer, express your enthusiasm for earlier situations as much as you can. Whenever you speak negatively about another person or situation in which you were directly involved, you run the risk (early in the relationship) of appearing like a troubled person who may have difficulty working with others.

Tanda-tanda Kiamat

Hudzaifah bin As-yad al-Ghifary berkata, sewaktu kami sedang berbincang, tiba-tiba datang Nabi Muhammad S.A.W kepada kami lalu bertanya, "Apakah yang kamu semua sedang bincangkan.?"
Lalu kami menjawab, "Kami sedang membincangkan tentang hari Kiamat."
Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W. "Sesungguhnya kiamat itu tidak akan terjadi sebelum kamu melihat sepuluh tanda :-

· Asap 

· Dajjal 

· Binatang melata di bumi 

· Terbitnya matahari sebelah barat 

· Turunnya Nabi Isa A.S 

· Keluarnya Yakjuj dan Makjuj 

· Gerhana di timur 

· Gerhana di barat 

· Gerhana di jazirah Arab 

· Keluarnya api dari kota Yaman menghalau manusia ke tempat pengiringan mereka.

Dajjal maksudnya ialah bahaya besar yang tidak ada bahaya sepertinya sejak Nabi Adam A.S sampai hari kiamat. Dajjal boleh membuat apa sahaja perkara-perkara yang luar biasa. Dia akan mendakwa dirinya Tuhan, sebelah matanya buta dan di antara kedua matanya tertulis perkataan 'Ini adalah orang kafir'.

Asap akan memenuhi timur dan barat, ia akan berlaku selama 40 hari. Apabila orang yang beriman terkena asap itu, ia akan bersin seperti terkena selsema, sementara orang kafir pula keadaannya seperti orang mabuk, asap akan keluar dari hidung, telinga dan dubur mereka.

Binatang melata yang dikenali sebagai Dabatul Ard ini akan keluar di kota Mekah dekat gunung Shafa, ia akan berbicara dengan kata-kata yang fasih dan jelas. Dabatul Ard ini akan membawa tongkat Nabi Musa A.S dan cincin Nabi Sulaiman A.S.
Apabila binatang ini memukulkan tongkatnya ke dahi orang yang beriman, maka akan tertulislah di dahi orang itu 'Ini adalah orang yang beriman'. Apabila tongkat itu dipukul ke dahi orang yang kafir, maka akan tertulislah 'Ini adalah orang kafir'.

Turunnya Nabi Isa. A.S di negeri Syam di menara putih, beliau akan membunuh dajjal. Kemudian Nabi Isa A.S akan menjalankan syariat Nabi Muhammad S.A.W.

Yakjuj dan Makjuj pula akan keluar, mereka ini merupakan dua golongan. Satu golongan kecil dan satu lagi golongan besar. Yakjuj dan Makjuj itu kini berada di belakang bendungan yang dibangunkan oleh Iskandar Zulqarnain. Apabila keluarnya mereka ini, bilangannya tidak terhitung banyaknya, sehingga kalau air laut Thahatiah diminum nescaya tidak akan tinggal walau pun setitik.

Rasulullah S.A.W telah bersabda, " Hari kiamat itu mempunyai tanda, bermulanya dengan tidak laris jualan di pasar, sedikit sahaja hujan dan begitu juga dengan tumbuh-tumbuhan. Ghibah menjadi-jadi di merata-rata, memakan riba, banyaknya anak-anak zina, orang kaya diagung-agungkan, orang-orang fasik akan bersuara lantang di masjid, para ahli mungkar lebih banyak menonjol dari ahli haq"

Berkata Ali bin Abi Talib, Akan datag di suatu masa di mana Islam itu hanya akan tinggal namanya sahaja, agama hanya bentuk sahaja, Al-Qur'an hanya dijadikan bacaan sahaja, mereka mendirikan masjid, sedangkan masjid itu sunyi dari zikir menyebut Asma Allah. 

Orang-orang yang paling buruk pada zaman itu ialah para ulama, dari mereka akan timbul fitnah dan fitnah itu akan kembali kepada mereka juga. Dan kesemua yang tersebut adalah tanda-tanda hari kiamat."

Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W, "Apabila harta orang kafir yang dihalalkan tanpa perang yang dijadikan pembahagian bergilir, amanat dijadikan seperti harta rampasan, zakat dijadikan seperti pinjaman, belajar lain daripada agama, orang lelaki taat kepada isterinya, menderhakai ibunya, lebih rapat dengan teman dan menjauhkan ayahnya, suara-suara lantang dalam masjid, pemimpin kaum dipilih dari orang yang fasik, oarng dimuliakan kerana ditakuti akan tindakan jahat dan aniayanya dan bukan kerana takutkan Allah, maka kesemua itu adalah tanda-tanda kiamat.

M.I.S ~ Communication Satellite

natang ni name die communications satellite

communications satellite (sometimes abbreviated to COMSAT) is an artificial satellite stationed in space for the purpose of telecommunications. Modern communications satellites use a variety of orbits including geostationary orbitsMolniya orbits, other elliptical orbits and low (polar and non-polar) Earth orbits.
For fixed (point-to-point) services, communications satellites provide a microwave radio relay technology complementary to that of submarine communication cables. They are also used for mobile applications such as communications to ships, vehicles, planes and hand-held terminals, and for TV and radio broadcasting, for which application of other technologies, such as cable, is impractical or impossible

Applications

iridium satellite

Telephone

he first and historically most important application for communication satellites was in intercontinental long distance telephony. The fixed Public Switched Telephone Networkrelays telephone calls from land line telephones to an earth station, where they are then transmitted to a geostationary satellite. The downlink follows an analogous path. Satellite phones connect directly to a constellation of either geostationary or low-earth-orbit satellites. Calls are then forwarded to a satellite teleport connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network


Satellite radio


Satellite radio offers audio services in some countries, notably the United States. Mobile services allow listeners to roam a continent, listening to the same audio programming anywhere.
A satellite radio or subscription radio (SR) is a digital radio signal that is broadcast by a communications satellite, which covers a much wider geographical range than terrestrial radio signals.

Satellite Internet

After the 1990s, satellite communication technology has been used as a means to connect to the Internet via broadband data connections. This can be very useful for users who are located in very remote areas, and cannot access a broadband connection


Mobile satellite technologies

Initially available for broadcast to stationary TV receivers, by 2004 popular mobile direct broadcast applications made their appearance with that arrival of two satellite radio systems in the United States: Sirius and XM Satellite Radio Holdings. Some manufacturers have also introduced special antennas for mobile reception of DBS television. Using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology as a reference, these antennas automatically re-aim to the satellite no matter where or how the vehicle (on which the antenna is mounted) is situated. These mobile satellite antennas are popular with somerecreational vehicle owners. Such mobile DBS antennas are also used by JetBlue Airways for DirecTV (supplied by LiveTV, a subsidiary of JetBlue), which passengers can view on-board on LCD screens mounted in the seats.

M.I.S ~ Computer Speakers


tadaaa!!! computer speakers -,-"
Computer speakers, or multimedia speakers, are speakers external to a computer, that disable the lower fidelity built-in speaker. They often have a low-power internal amplifier. The standard audio connection is a 3.5 mm (approximately 1/8 inch) stereo jack plug often colour-coded lime green (following the PC 99 standard) for computer sound cards
Computer speakers range widely in quality and in price. The computer speakers typically packaged with computer systems are small, plastic, and have mediocre sound quality. Some computer speakers have equalization features such as bass and treble controls.
The internal amplifiers require an external power source, usually an AC adapter. More sophisticated computer speakers can have a 'subwoofer' unit, to enhance bass output, and these units usually include the power amplifiers both for the bass speaker, and the small 'satellite' speakers.
Some computer displays have rather basic speakers built-in. Laptops come with integrated speakers. Restricted space available in laptops means these speakers usually produce low-quality sound.
For some users, a lead connecting computer sound output to an existing stereo system is practical. This normally yields much better results than small low-cost computer speakers. Computer speakers can also serve as an economy amplifier for MP3 player use for those who wish to not use headphones although some models of computer speakers have headphone jacks of their own.
