Mobil atau Motor kita baiknya diisi bensin apa ya?


SUMBER DARI DEDENGKOT MAS SAFTARI
http://www.saft7.com/?p=274

Mobil atau Motor kita baiknya diisi bensin apa ya? Ada pilihan bensin yaitu Premium, Pertamax dan Pertamax Plus yang merupakan produk Pertamina, dan ada juga bensin jenis lain dari perusahaan asing seperti Shell dan Petronas. Semakin banyak lagi pilihan kita.

Mesin mobil maupun motor memerlukan jenis bensin yang sesuai dengan desain mesin itu sendiri agar dapat bekerja dengan baik dan menghasilkan kinerja yang optimal. Jenis bensin tersebut biasanya diwakili dengan angka / nilai oktan (RON), misalnya Premium ber-oktan 88, Pertamax ber-oktan 92 dan seterusnya.

Semakin tinggi angka oktan, maka harga per liternya pun umumnya lebih tinggi. Namun belum tentu bahwa jika mengisi bensin ber-oktan tinggi pada mesin mobil/motor kita, kemudian akan menghasilkan tenaga yang lebih tinggi juga. Wah jadi bagaimana dong?

Jika kita cermati spesifikasi kendaraan kita (mobil atau motor) pada brosur yang baik akan menampilkan informasi rasio kompresi (Compression Ratio / CR). CR ini adalah hasil perhitungan perbandingan tekanan yang berkaitan dengan volume ruang bakar terhadap jarak langkah piston dari titik bawah ke titik paling atas saat mesin bekerja. terlihat pada foto, bahwa CR mesin mobil Timor DOHC S515i adalah 9.3 : 1



Dari informasi spesifikasi brosur tersebut, kita bisa menentukan bahwa mesin mobil timor tersebut memerlukan jenis bensin yang bernilai oktan 92, yaitu bensin Pertamax.
Bagaimana jika diisi bensin dengan oktan lebih rendah?

Bensin dengan oktan rendah lebih mudah terbakar. Semakin tinggi nilai CR pada mesin artinya membutuhkan bensin bernilai oktan tinggi. Mesin berkompresi tinggi membuat bensin cepat terbakar (akibat tekanan yang tinggi), yang akan menjadi masalah adalah, ketika bensin terbakar lebih awal sebelum busi memercikkan api. Saat piston naik ke atas melakukan kompresi, bensin menyala mendahului busi, akibatnya piston seperti dipukul keras oleh ledakan ruang bakar tersebut. Kita sering mendengar istilah “Ngelitik” (pinging/knocking). Bagaimana menggambarkan ‘kejam’nya ngelitik yang dirasakan piston? Ibarat telapak tangan kita ditusuk2 dengan paku… kira-kira begitu. Perlahan namun pasti.. membuat piston seperti permukaan bulan… dan bahkan bisa bolong!.. hiiii….



Saat terjadi ‘ngelitik’, bensin tidak menjadi tenaga yang terpakai. Kerja mesin tidak optimal. Kembali diulang, mesin yang CR nya tinggi, memerlukan bensin yang lambat terbakar. Semakin tinggi nilai CR, bensin harus semakin lambat terbakarnya (oktan tinggi).

Nah, jadi untuk teman-teman, cermati nilai CR mesin mobil/motor kita (bisa intip pada daftar di bawah), isilah bensin yang sesuai untuk mesin tersebut.
Bagaimana kalau diisi bensin dengan oktan lebih tinggi?

Bensin dengan oktan lebih tinggi (pertamax, pertamax plus, dsb), umumnya dilengkapi dengan aditif pembersih, dan sebagainya. Namun tidak banyak memberi penambahan tenaga, jadi angka oktan tinggi bukan artinya lebih ‘bertenaga’.
Karena benefitnya kurang sebanding jika dibanding harganya yang tinggi, maka ujung-ujungnya hanyalah merupakan pemborosan uang saja.

Kesimpulan:

- Dianjurkan mengisi bensin sesuai nilai rasio kompresi. (kecuali ada modifikasi lain).

- Semakin TINGGI nilai oktan, maka bensin semakin lambat terbakar (dikarenakan titik bakarnya lebih tinggi).

- Semakin TINGGI nilai oktan, maka bensin lebih sulit menguap (penguapan rendah)

- Bensin yang gagal terbakar (akibat oktan terlalu tinggi), bisa menyebabkan penumpukan kerak pada ruang bakar atau pada klep.
Solusi Alternatif

Banyak cara untuk menyiasati agar bisa menggunakan bensin Premium pada mesin yang ber-CR tinggi, namun mesin tidak mengalami ‘ngelitik’, antara lain:
- Menambahkan Octane Booster pada bensin (dimasukkan ke tangki bensin)
- Menggunakan katalis untuk menaikkan nilai oktan (biasanya mengandung timbal, tidak ramah lingkungan).
- Merubah derajat waktu pengapian (ignition timing) ke posisi yang lebih lambat (Retard).
- Menggunakan aplikasi water-injection (agak repot untuk perawatannya).
- dan lain-lain.
Fakta…

Pada kenyataannya.. banyak kita lihat, khususnya di SPBU, motor-motor baru yang berkompresi tinggi mengantri panjang di pompa bensin jenis Premium. Faktor ekonomi lebih mendesak ketimbang dampak rusak ke depan pada mesin motornya.. atau memang kurangnya informasi mengenai pemilihan bensin ini.



Berkat bantuan banyak teman baik dari beberapa milis, saya coba kumpulkan dan sajikan daftar Rasio Kompresi untuk mobil dan motor berbagai merek. Atas segala keterbatasan dan kekurangan saya, mohon maaf apabila mobil atau motor Anda belum terdaftar, bagi yang mempunyai data untuk melengkapi silahkan tambahkan pada kolom komentar.

Tabel di bawah sengaja di beri warna, sesuai dengan bensin yang direkomendasi.

son in law love mother in law/Menantu sayang mertua


Alkisah ada Seorang ibu yang Punya 3 menantu dari ke-3 putrinya yang cantik-cantik, sang ibu mertua ingin tahu apakah ketiga menantunya itu sayang kepada mertuanya atau cuma putrinya doang.

Dia lalu memutuskan menguji mereka secara bergantian. Suatu hari dia mengajak menantu pertama naik perahu motor ke tengah laut. Di sana dia sengaja menjatuhkan dirinya dari perahu & terlempar ke dalam air laut. Sang menantu tanpa pikir panjang langsung terjun menyelamatkan ibu mertuanya.
Besoknya ketika keluar rumah, sang menantu pertama melihat mobil Nissan Livina terparkir di depan rumah, & secarik kertas bertulisan "Dari ibu mertuamu".

Giliran menantu ke-2 yang diajak ke tengah laut. Sekali lagi sang mertua pura-pura terjatuh & terlempar keluar perahu. Menantu kedua ini melupakan pakaian & dompetnya, langsung terjun demi menyelamatkan mertua tercinta.
Besoknya di depan rumah menantu ke-2 terparkir Toyota Alphard, disertai kertas bertuliskan "Dari ibu mertuamu"

Ketika giliran menantu ke-3 diajak ke tengah laut, sang mertua kembali melakukan gerakan terjun bebas. Tapi apes, kali ini sang menantu malah berkecak pinggang memandangi ibu mertuanya yang megap-megap di dalam air.
Sempat-sempatnya dia berkata, "Rasain loe!", sambil berputar membawa perahunya ke darat. Besok harinya ketika menantu ini keluar rumah, di depan rumahnya terparkir Mercedes Benz S-Class terbaru beserta kertas bertuliskan, "Dari ayah mertuamu"


english version:

once upon a time there are mother that have 3 daughter. all daughter already have a husband. as mother in law, she want to know how does the all husband feel toward her. whether they love his mother in law or just love his wife. so, mother in law decided to make a test toward all the husband of her daughter.

one day, the husband of the first daughter named Riko go with his mother in law to the sea by boat. when they stop in the middle of the sea, mother in law wilifully jump to the sea. so, the mother in law drawning in the sea. without thingking so long, Riko jump and swim to help his mother in law. tomorow morning in front of Riki house, there is a Nissan Livina Car and a letter that said "from your mother in law"

next day, the husband of the second daughter named Raka go with his mother in law to the sea by boat too. mother in law wilifully jump to the sea again. without think about his wallet and shirt Raka jump and help his mother in law. tomorow morning in front of Raka house, there is a Toyota Alphard and a letter that said "from your mother in law"

finally, the husband of the third daughter named Riki go with his mother in law to sea again. as we know, mother in law wilifully jum to sea again. unfortunately, Riki just reticence and watch his mother in law drawning and die. in fact Riki said "go to hell bitch"

Natural Gas Shales


Background - Gas Shales Haynesville Shale Map
Haynesville Shale: News, videos & information for the Haynesville Shale in northern Louisiana and adjacent state

The first commercial natural gas well in the United States was drilled in 1821 in Fredonia, New York. It produced gas from organic-rich Devonian-age shale. Since then many other wells have produced natural gas from shale. However, shale is most commonly thought of as a natural gas source rock rather than as the target of drilling activity.

In the late 1990s improved drilling and well stimulation methods were developed for the Barnett Shale of Texas which significantly increased the yield and recovery rate of natural gas from a shale. These methods are now being applied in many parts of the United States. The result has been nothing less than a boom in natural gas leasing and production activity. The maps on these pages connect you to information about several of the new gas plays.

The Pacific Ocean Tsunami Threat is Higher Than Expected

Potential of Future Tsunamis



The potential for a huge Pacific Ocean tsunami on the West Coast of North America may be greater than previously thought.

The new study of geological evidence along the Gulf of Alaska coast suggests that future tsunamis could reach a scale far beyond that suffered in the tsunami generated by the great 1964 Alaskan earthquake. Official figures put the number of deaths caused by the earthquake at around 130: 114 in Alaska and 16 in Oregon and California. The tsunami killed 35 people directly and caused extensive damage in Alaska, British Columbia, and the US Pacific region*.

The 1964 Alaskan earthquake – the second biggest recorded in history with a magnitude of 9.2 – triggered a series of massive waves with run up heights of as much as 12.7 metres in the Alaskan Gulf region and 52 metres in the Shoup Bay submarine slide in Valdez Arm.

The study suggests that rupture of an even larger area than the 1964 rupture zone could create an even bigger tsunami. Warning systems are in place on the west coast of North America but the findings suggest a need for a review of evacuation plans in the region.


Evaluation of Ancient Earthquakes



The research team from Durham University in the UK, the University of Utah and Plafker Geohazard Consultants, gauged the extent of earthquakes over the last 2,000 years by studying subsoil samples and sediment sequences at sites along the Alaskan coast. The team radiocarbon-dated peat layers and sediments, and analysed the distribution of mud, sand and peat within them. The results suggest that earthquakes in the region may rupture even larger segments of the coast and sea floor than was previously thought.

The study published in the academic journal Quaternary Science Reviews and funded by the National Science Foundation, NASA, and the US Geological Survey shows that the potential impact in terms of tsunami generation, could be significantly greater if both the 800-km-long 1964 segment and the 250-km-long adjacent Yakataga segment to the east were to rupture simultaneously.


Larger Ancient Earthquakes


Lead author, Professor Ian Shennan, from Durham University’s Geography Department said: "Our radiocarbon-dated samples suggest that previous earthquakes were fifteen per cent bigger in terms of the area affected than the 1964 event. This historical evidence of widespread, simultaneous plate rupturing within the Alaskan region has significant implications for the tsunami potential of the Gulf of Alaska and the Pacific region as a whole."

"Peat layers provide a clear picture of what’s happened to the Earth. Our data indicate that two major earthquakes have struck Alaska in the last 1,500 years and our findings show that a bigger earthquake and a more destructive tsunami than the 1964 event are possible in the future. The region has been hit by large single event earthquakes and tsunamis before, and our evidence indicates that multiple and more extensive ruptures can happen."


Causes of a Tsunami



Tsunamis can be created by the rapid displacement of water when the sea floor lifts and/or falls due to crustal movements that accompany very large earthquakes. The shallow nature of the sea floor off the coast of Alaska could increase the destructive potential of a tsunami wave in the Pacific.


Earthquake behaviour is difficult to predict in this region which is a transition zone between two of the world's most active plate boundary faults; the Fairweather fault, and the Aleutian subduction zone. In 1899 and 1979, large earthquakes occurred in the region but did not trigger a Tsunami because the rupturing was localized beneath the land instead of the sea floor.

Prof Ron Bruhn from the University of Utah said: "If the larger earthquake that is suggested by our work hits the region, the size of the potential tsunami could be signficantly larger than in 1964 because a multi-rupture quake would displace the shallow continental shelf of the Yakutat microplate."

"In the case of a multi-rupture event, the energy imparted to the tsunami will be larger but spread out over a longer strike distance. Except for the small communities at the tsunami source in Alaska, the longer length will have more of an effect on areas farther from the source such as southeastern Alaska, British Columbia, and the US west coast from Washington to California."


Tsunami Warning Systems



Warning systems have been in place on the US western seaboard and Hawaii since the 1946 Aleutian Islands tsunami. Improvements were made following the 2004 earthquake under the Indian Ocean that triggered the most deadly tsunami in recorded history, killing more than 230,000 people.

A tsunami triggered by an Alaska earthquake could cause damage around the Pacific


Prof Shennan said: "Earthquakes can hit at any time of the day or night, and that’s a big challenge for emergency planners. A tsunami in this region could cause damage and threaten life from Alaska to California and beyond; in 1964 the effects of the tsunami waves were felt as far away as southern California and were recorded on tide gages throughout the Pacific Ocean."

Dr George Plafker from Plafker Geohazard Consultants said: "A large scale earthquake will not necessarily create a large wave. Tsunami height is a function of bathymetry, and the amount of slip and dip of the faults that take up the displacement, and all these factors can vary greatly along the strike."

"Tsunamis will occur in the future. There are issues in warning and evacuating large numbers of people in coastal communities quickly and safely. The US has excellent warning systems in place but awareness is vital."

Drilling to Earth's Mantle May Now Be Possible

Zero discharge drilling One problem with drilling deep holes in ultra-deepwater is the control and recirculation of drilling mud that cools the drilling process and flushs rock cuttings out of the drill hole. In the riserless mud recovery system, drilling mud is pumped down the drill pipe, exits through the drill bit, returns to the top of the hole outside of the drill pipe and is then captured as it exits the hole and pumped back to the surface through a rigid mud return line. Image by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program. Enlarge Image

Technology for Drilling to the Moho



The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), in collaboration with industry partner AGR Drilling Services, has engineered an ultra-deepwater drilling technology for use by IODP drilling vessels in scientific research.

Originally developed for shallow-water oil and gas exploration, the "riserless mud recovery" technology (RMR™) holds great promise for scientists striving to reach the long-held goal of Project Mohole in the 1950s: drilling all the way through ocean crust into the Earth’s mantle; a frontier not yet explored today. Drilled cores from the mantle could provide scientists with answers to questions about the structure, composition, mineralogy, and in situ physical properties of oceanic crust and the geological nature of the seismic Moho.

Implementation As Early As July, 2011



"With AGR Drilling Services’ support, IODP led an engineering effort to adapt existing technology to drill very deep holes in very deep regions of the ocean," says Engineering Manager Greg Myers. "Up to now, riserless mud recovery drilling was limited to shallower water depths.

This ultra-deepwater drilling technology allows scientists to investigate subseafloor areas in great depths, where oceanic crust may be thinner—such as in waters off Hawaii." According to Myers, an ultra-deepwater RMR™ system could be implemented as early as July 2011.

The RMR™ technology, owned by AGR, is expected to operate in hyper-deepwater depths greater than 12,000 feet. Funding for preliminary engineering was provided by the DeepStar Consortium, a deepwater industry group that supports deepwater technology development projects and leverages the industry’s financial and technical resources.

"This ultra-deepwater drilling technology is environmentally friendly," says David Hine, AGR Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "It operates with a 'zero-discharge' system, leaving no cuttings or mud behind."

Previous Near-Mantle Depth Drilling



In December 2005, scientists aboard IODP Expedition 312 approached mantle depths while drilling to investigate superfast seafloor spreading rates. The research expedition penetrated volcanic rock (gabbros) and reached a fossil magma chamber lying 1.4 kilometers beneath the seafloor. The Moho, or mantle, lies beneath the gabbros layer of ocean crust at depths that vary from about 5-10 km. beneath the ocean floor, to about 40 km. beneath the continents, to as much as 70 km. beneath some mountain ranges.
The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) is an international marine research program led by the National Science Foundation in the U.S. with support from another 23 countries. IODP advances scientific understanding of Earth by drilling, sampling, and monitoring subseafloor environments.

Using multiple platforms and technologies, the world’s preeminent scientists working in the program explore climate change, the deep biosphere, and geodynamics.

These are 70 ways to improve your English

These are 70 ways to improve your English. Due to limited space and characters in this box, I'll separate them in parts. Try them and see how they work with you Good luck !



1. Start your own English language blog. Even for people who don't have to write in English, writing can be a great way of properly learning the kind of vocabulary you need to describe your own life and interests, and of thinking about how to stop making grammar mistakes. The problem most people have is that they don't know what to write about. One traditional way to make sure you write every day in English is to write an English diary (journal), and a more up to date way of doing this is to write a blog. Popular topics include your language learning experience, your experience studying abroad, your local area, your language, or translations of your local news into English.

2. Write a news diary. Another daily writing task that can work for people who would be bored by writing about their own routines in a diary is to write about the news that you read and listen to everyday. If you include your predictions for how you think the story will develop (e.g. "I think Hillary will become president"), this can give you a good reason to read old entries another time, at which time you can also correct and mistakes you have made and generally improve what you have written.

3. Sign up for a regular English tip. Some websites offer a weekly or even daily short English lesson sent to your email account. If your mobile phone has an e-mail address, it is also possible to have the tips sent to your phone to read on the way to work or school. Please note, however, that such services are not usually graded very well to the levels of different students, and they should be used as a little added extra or revision in your English studies rather than as a replacement for something you or your teacher have chosen more carefully as what you need to learn.

4. Listen to MP3s. Although buying music on the internet is becoming more popular in many countries, not so many people know that you can download speech radio such as audio books (an actor reading out a novel) and speech radio. Not only is this better practice for your English than listening to English music, from sources like Scientific American, BBC and Australia's ABC Radio it is also free.

5. Listen to English music. Even listening to music while doing something else can help a little for things like getting used to the natural rhythm and tone of English speech, although the more time and attention you give to a song the more you will learn from listening to it again in the future.

6. Read the lyrics to a song. Although just listening to a song in English can be a good way of really learning the words of the chorus in an easily memorable way, if you want to really get something out of listening to English music you will need to take some time to read the lyrics of the song with a dictionary. If the lyrics are not given in the CD booklet, you may be able to find them on the internet, but please note that some lyrics sites deliberately put a few errors into their lyrics for copyright reasons. Once you have read and understood the lyrics, if you then listen and read at the same time, this can be a good way of understanding how sounds change in fast, natural, informal speech.

7. Sing karaoke in English. The next stage after understanding and memorising a song is obviously to sing it. Although some words have their pronunciation changed completely to fit in with a song, most of the words have the same sounds and stressed syllables as in normal speech. Remembering which words rhyme at the end of each line can also be a good way of starting to learn English pronunciation.

8. Write a film, music, hotel or book review. Another motivating and easy way to make yourself write in English is to write a review for a site such as Amazon or Internet Movie Database. Many non-native speakers write reviews on sites like this, and if you have some special understanding of the book, music or film due to your first language or knowing the artist personally, that would be very interesting for the English speakers who read and write reviews on the site.

9. Only search in English. Switching your search engine to the English language version of msn, yahoo, Google etc. can not only be a good way of practising fast reading for specific information in English, but could also give you a wider choice of sites to choose from and give you an idea of what foreigners are writing about your country and area.

10. Read a book you've already read or seen the movie of in your own language. Although most language learners under Advanced level would probably learn more from reading a graded reader or something from the internet than they would from reading an original book written for English speakers, for some people reading something like Harry Potter in the original can be a great motivator to improve their English. To make this easier for you and make sure that it motivates you rather than just making your tired, try reading a book that you already know the story of. This not only makes it easier to understand and guess vocabulary, but you are also more likely to remember the language in it. If you have not read the book before, reading a plot summary from the internet can also help in the same way.

11. Read a translation into English. Another way of making sure books are easier to understand is to choose a book that was originally translated into English, preferably from your own language. Even if you haven't read the book in your own language, you will find the English is written in a slightly simplified way that is more similar to how your own language is written than a book originally written in English would be.

12. Skip the first ten pages. If you have given up with a book in English or are reading it very slowly, try skimming through the first ten pages or skipping them completely. The start of most books tend to be mainly description and are therefore full of difficult vocabulary and don't have a clear story line yet to help you understand what is happening and to motivate you to turn the next page. If the book is still too difficult even after the introductionary part is finished, it is probably time to give that book up for now and try it again after you have read some easier things.

13. Read a book with lots of dialogue. Opening up books before you buy one and flicking through them to find one with lots of direct dialogue in it has several advantages. If there is less text on the page due to all the speech marks etc, this can make it easier to read and easier to write translations on. Dialogue is also much easier to understand than descriptive parts of a book, and is much more like the language you will want to learn in order to be able to speak English.

14. Read English language comics. Even more than books with lots of dialogue, comics can be easy to understand and full of idiomatic language as it is actually spoken. There can be difficulties with slang, difficult to understand jokes and/ or dialogue written how people speak rather than with normal spellings, so try to choose which comic carefully. Usually, serious or adventure comics are easier to understand than funny ones.

15. Read English language entertainment guides. Nowadays most big cities in the world have an English language magazine and/ or online guide to the movies, plays, exhibitions that are on in the city that week. Reading this in English is not only good value, but it could also guide you to places that English speakers are interested in and where you might hear some English spoken around you.

Meteorites on Mars

Meteorites on Mars

NASA's Mars Rovers Are Great For Finding Meteorites!


Hard to Find on Earth but Abundant on Mars?



NASA's two Mars Rovers have found some spectacular meteorites. On Earth, the only humans who are as successful at finding meteorites are professional meteorite hunters. Are meteorites that abundant on Mars or are these Rovers simply lucky?

The answer to this question has a lot to do with the environment of the two planets. The surface of Earth has an environment that is rich in oxygen and moisture - both of which are rapidly destructive to iron meteorites. A meteorite that lands on Earth's surface would rust away in a blink of geologic time. Mars, however, has very little oxygen and moisture in its atmosphere and surface soils. Meteorites that land on Mars can remain in excellent condition for millions - or even billions - of years. Mars is the perfect place to hunt for meteorites.

Mars Meteorite: Block Island

Mars Meteorite
This is a picture of "Block Island," the largest meteorite yet to be found on Mars. It is about 60 centimeters across (about 2 feet) and is estimated to weigh about one-half ton. Analysis of its composition by Rover Opportunity's alpha particle X-ray spectrophotometer reveals that it is rich in iron and nickel - proof positive that it is an iron meteorite. This photo was taken by the navigation camera on NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity on July 28, 2009.

The Mars Rover drove right past the rock but NASA researchers noticed it a few days later in an image that was taken and transmitted down to Earth. So they sent Opportunity back to check out the rock and touch it with its robotic arm for an analysis. Enlarge.

Mars Meteorite: Heat Shield Rock

Mars meteorite
"Heat Shield Rock" is the first meteorite ever identified on the surface of another planet. It is a baseball-size iron-nickel meteorite discovered by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity ON January 6, 2005. Its composition and identity as a meteorite were confirmed by the Rover's spectrophotometer - it determined that "Heat Shield Rock" was composed of iron and nickel. The Meteoritical Society originally named it "Meridiani Planum" after the location where it was found - this is the traditional naming convention for meteorites found on Earth. However, the name "Heat Shield Rock" has become more popular. It received that name because it was discovered near the location where Opportunity discarded its heat shield. How long the meteorite has been on the surface of Mars is unknown, however, it shows very little sign of rusting or other alteration. Enlarge Image.

Kajian Syariah : (MLM Halal atau Haram)



Hukum Dasar MLM

Sebenarnya tidak ada yang salah dalam urusan transaksi, selamaMLM itubersih dari unsur terlarang sepertiriba, gharar, dharar dan jahalah.

MLM sendiri masuk dalam bab Muamalat, yangpada dasarnya mubah atau boleh. Merujuk kepada kaidah bahwa Al-Aslu fil Asy-yai Al-Ibahah. Hukum segala sesuatu itu pada asalnya adalah boleh. Dalam hal ini maksudnya adalah dalam masalah muamalat. Sampai nanti ada hal-hal yang ternyata dilarang atau diharamkan dalam syariah Islam.

Misalnya bila di dalam sebuah MLM itu ternyata terdapat indikasi riba`, misalnya dalam memutar dana yang terkumpul. Atau ada indikasi terjadinya gharar atau penipuan baik kepada down line ataupun kepada upline. Atau mungkin juga terjadi dharar yaitu hal-hal yang membahayakan, merugikan atau menzhalimi pihak lain, entah dengan mencelakakan dan menyusahkan. Dan tidak tertutup kemungkinan ternyata ada unsur jahalah atau ketidak-transparanan dalam sistem dan aturan. Atau juga perdebatan sebagian kalangan tentang haramnya samsarah ala samsarah.

Sehingga kita tidak bisa terburu-buru memvonis bahwa bisnis MLM itu halal atau haram, sebelum kita teliti dan bedah dulu `isi perut`nya dengan pisau analisa syariah yang `tajam dan terpercaya`.

Teliti Dan Ketahui Dengan Pasti Maka jauh sebelum anda memutuskan untuk bergabung dengan sebuah MLM tertentu, pastikan bahwa di dalamnya tidak ada ke-4 hal tersebut, yang akan membuat anda jauth ke dalam hal yang diharamkan Allah SWT. Carilah keterangan dan perdalam terlebih dahulu wawasan dan pengetahuan anda atas sebuah tawaran ikut dalam MLM, jangan terlalu terburu-buru tergiur dengan tawaran cepat kaya dan seterusnya.

Sebaiknya anda harus yakin terlebih dahulu bahwa produk yang ditawarkan jelas kehalalannya, baik zatnya maupun metodenya. Karena anggota bukan hanya konsumen barang tersebut tetapi juga memasarkan kepada yang lainnya. Sehingga dia harus tahu status barang tersebut dan bertanggung-jawab kepada konsumen lainnya.

Legalisasi Syariah Alangkah baiknya bila seorang muslim menjalankan MLM yang sudah ada legalisasi syariahnya. Yaitu perusahaan MLM yang tidak sekedar mencantumkan label dewan syariah, melainkan yang fungsi dewan syariahnya itu benar-benar berjalan. Sehingga syariah bukan berhenti pada label tanpa arti. Artinya, kalau kita datangi kantornya, maka ustaz yang mengerti masalah syariahnya itu ada dan siap menjelaskan letak halal dan haramnya.

Kepada pengawas syariah itu anda berhak menanyakan dasar pandangan kehalalan produk dan sistem MLM itu. Mintalah kepadanya dalil atau hasil kajian syariah yang lengkap untuk anda pelajari dan bandingkan dengan para ulama yang juga ahli dibidangnya. Itulah fungsi dewan pengawas syariah pada sebuah perusahaan MLM. Jadi jangan terlalu mudah dulu untuk mengatakan bebas masalah sebelum anda yakin dan tahu persis bagaimana dewan syariah di perusahaan itu memastikan kehalalannya.

Hindari Produk Musuh Islam Seorang muslim sebaiknya menghindari diri dari menjalankan perusahaan yang memusuhi Islam baik secara langsung atau pun tidak langsung. Bukna tidak mungkin ternyata perusahaan induknya malah menjadi donatur musuh Islam dan keuntungannya bisinis ini malah digunakan untuk MEMBUNUH saudara kita di belahan bumi lainnya.

Meski pada dasarnya kita boleh bermumalah dengan non muslim, selama mereka mau bekerjasama yang menguntungkan dan juga tidak memerangi umat Islam. Tetapi memasarkan produk musuh Islam di masa kini sama saja dengan berinfaq kepada musuh kita untuk membeli peluru yang merobek jantung umat Islam.

Jangan Sampai Berdusta Hal yang paling rawan dalam pemasaran gaya MLM ini adalah dinding yang teramat tipis antara kejujuran dan dengan dusta. Biasanya, orang-orang yang diprospek itu dijejali dengan beragam mimpi untuk jadi milyuner dalam waktu singkat, atau bisa punya rumah real estate, mobil built-up mahal, apartemen mewah, kapal pesiar dan ribuan mimpi lainnya.

Dengan rumus hitung-hitungan yang dibuat seperti masuk akal, akhirnya banyak yang terbuai dan meninggalkan profesi sejatinya atau yang kita kenal dengan istilah `pensiun dini`. Apalagi bila objeknya itu orang miskin yang hidupnya senin kamis, maka semakin menjadilah mimpi di siang bolong itu, persis dengan mimpi menjadi tokoh-tokoh dalam dunia sinetron TV yang tidak pernah menjadi kenyataan.

Dan simbol-simbol kekayaan seperti memakai jas dan dasi, pertemuan di gedung mewah atau ke mana-mana naik mobil seringkali menjadi jurus pemasaran. Dan sebagai upaya pencitraan diri bahwa seorang distributor itu sudah makmur sering terasa dipaksakan. Bahkan istilah yang digunakan pun bukan sales, tetapi manager atau general manager atau istilah-istilah keren lain yang punya citra bahwa dirinya adalah orang penting di dalam perusahaan mewah kelas international. Padahal -misalnya- ujung-ujungnya hanya jualan obat.

Kami tidak mengatakan bahwa trik ini haram, tetapi cenderung terasa mengawang-awang yang bila masyarakat awam kurang luas wawasannya, bisa tertipu.

Hati-hati Dengan Mengeksploitir Dalil Yang harus diperhatikan pula adalah penggunaan dalil yang tidak pada tempatnya untuk melegalkan MLM. Seperti sering kita dengar banyak orang yang membuat keterangan yang kurang tepat.

Misalnya bahwa Rasulullah SAW itu profesinya adalah pedagang. Yang benar adalah beliau memang pernah berdagang dan ketika masih kecil memang pernah diajak berdagang. Dan itu terjadi jauh sebelum beliau diangkat menjadi Nabi pada usia 40 tahun. Namun setelah menjadi nabi, beliau tidak lagi menjadi pedagang. Pemasukan (ma`isyah) beliau adalah dari harta rampasan perang/ ghanimah, bukan dari hasil jualan atau menawarkan barang dagangan, juga bukan dengan sistem MLM.

Lagi pula kalaulah sebelum jadi nabi beliau pernah berdagang, jelas-jelas sistemnya bukan MLM. Dan Khadidjah ra itulah buknalah Up-linenya sebagaimana Maisarah juga bukan downline-nya.

Jadi jangan mentang-mentang yang diprospek itu umat Islam, atau ustaz yang punya banyak jamaah, atau tokoh yang berpengaruh, lalu dengan enak kita tancap gas tanpa memeriksa kembali dalil yang kita gunakan.

Terkait dengan itu, ada juga yang berdalih bahwa sistem MLM merupakan sunnah nabi. Mereka mengandaikannya dengan dakwah berantai/ berjenjang yang dilakukan oleh Rasulullah SAW di masa itu.

Padahal apa yang dilakukan beliau itu tidak bisa dijadikan dalil bahwa sistem penjualan berjenjang itu adalah sunnah Rasulullah SAW. Sebab ketika melakukan dakwah berjenjang itu, Rasulullah SAW tidak sedang berdagang dengan memberi barang/jasa dan mendapatkan imbalan materi. Jadi tidak ada transaksi muamalat perdangan dalam dakwah berjenjang beliau. Kalau pun ada reward, maka itu adalah pahala dari Allah SWT yang punya pahala tak ada habisnya, bukan berbentuk uang pembelian.

Jangan Sampai Kehilangan Kreatifitas Dan Produktifitas MLM itu memang sering menjanjikan orang menjadi kaya mendadak, sehingga bisa menyedot keinginan dari sejumlah orang dengan sangat besar. Dan karena menggunakan sistem jaringan, memang dalam waktu singkat bisa terkumpul sejumlah orang yang siap menjual rupa-rupa produk.

Harus diperhatikan bahwa bila semua orang akan dimasukkan ke dalam jaringan MLM yang pada hakikatnya menjadi sales menjualkan produk sebuah industri, maka jangan sampai jiwa kreatifitas dan produktifitas ummat menjadi loyo dan mati. Sebab di belakang sistem MLM itu sebenarnya adalah industri yang mengeluarkan produk secara massal.

Padahal umat ini butuh orang-orang yang mampu berkreasi, mencipta, melakukan aktifitas seni, menemukan hal-hal baru, mendidik, memberikan pelayanan kepada ummat dan pekerjaan pekerjaan mulia lainnya. Kalau semua potensi umat ini tersedot ke dalam bisnis pemasaran, maka matilah kreatifitas umat dan mereka hanya sibuk di satu bidang saja yaitu: B E R J U A L A N produk sebuah industri.

Etika Penawaran Salah satu hal yang paling `mengganggu` dari sistem pemasaran langsung adalah metode pendekatan penawarannya itu sendiri. Karena memang di situlah ujung tombak dari sistem penjualan langsung dan sekaligus juga di situlah titik yang menimbulkan masalah.

Biasanya para distibutor selalu dipompakan semangat untuk mencari calon pembeli. Istilah yang sering digunakan adalah prospek. Sering hal itu dilakukan dengan tidak pandang bulu dan suasana. Misalnya seorang teman lama yang sudah sekian tahun tidak pernah berjumpa, tiba-tiba menghubungi dan berusaha mengakrabi sambil memubuka pembicaraan masa lalu yang sedemikian mesra. Kemudian melangkah kepada janji bertemu. Tapi begitu sudah bertemu, ujung-ujungnya menawarkan suatu produk yang pada dasarnya tidak terlalu dibutuhkan.

Hanya saja karena kawan lama, tidak enak juga bila tidak membeli. Karena si teman ini menghujaninya dengan sekian banyak argumen mulai dari kualitas produk yang terkadang sangat fantastis, termasuk peluang berbisnis di MLM tersebut yang intinya mau tidak mau harus beli dan jadi anggota. Pada saat mewarkan dengan sejuta argumen inilah seorang distributor bisa bermasalah.

Atau suasana yang penting menjadi terganggu karena adanya penawaran MLM. Sehingga pengajian berubah menjadi ajang bisnis. Juga rapat, kelas, perkuliahan, dan banyak suasana dan kesempatan penting berubah jadi `pasar`. Tentu ini akan terasa mengganggu.

Wallahu a’lam bishshawab, wassalamu ‘alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

Ahmad Sarwat, Lc

What is Earth Science?



Introduction



Earth Science is the study of the Earth and its neighbors in space. It is an exciting science with many interesting and practical applications. Some Earth scientists use their knowledge of the Earth to locate and develop energy and mineral resources. Others study the impact of human activity on Earth's environment and design methods to protect the planet. Some use their knowledge about Earth processes such as volcanoes, earthquakes and hurricanes to plan communities that will not expose people to these dangerous events.


The Four Earth Sciences



Many different sciences are used to learn about the earth, however, the four basic areas of Earth science study are: geology, meteorology, oceanography and astronomy. A brief explanation of these sciences is provided below.


Geology: Science of the Earth



Geology is the primary Earth science. The word means "study of the Earth". Geology deals with the composition of Earth materials, Earth structures, and Earth processes. It is also concerned with the organisms of the planet and how the planet has changed over time. Geologists search for fuels and minerals, study natural hazards, and work to protect Earth's environment.


Meteorology: Science of the Atmosphere



Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and how processes in the atmosphere determine Earth's weather and climate. Meteorology is a very practical science because everyone is concerned about the weather. How climate changes over time in response to the actions of people is a topic of urgent worldwide concern. The study of meteorology is of critical concern for protecting Earth's environment.


Oceanography: Science of the Oceans



Oceanography is the study of Earth's oceans - their composition, movement, organisms and processes. The oceans cover most of our planet and are important resources for food and other commodities. They are increasingly being used as an energy source. The oceans also have a major influence on the weather and changes in the oceans can drive or moderate climate change. Oceanographers work to develop the ocean as a resource and protect it from human impact. The goal is to utilize the oceans while minimizing the effects of our actions.


Astronomy: Science of the Universe



Astronomy is the study of the universe. Here are some examples of why studying space beyond Earth is important: the moon drives the ocean's tidal system, asteroid impacts have repeatedly devastated Earth's inhabitants and energy from the sun drives our weather and climates. A knowledge of astronomy is essential to understanding the Earth. Astronomers can also use a knowledge of Earth materials, processes and history to understand other planets - even those outside of our own solar system.


The Importance of Earth Science



Today we live in a time when the Earth and its inhabitants face many challenges. Our climate is changing and that change is being caused by human activity. Earth scientists recognized this problem and will play a key role in efforts to resolve it. We are also challenged to: develop new sources of energy that will have minimal impact on climate; locate new sources of metals and other mineral resources as known sources are depleted; and, determine how Earth's increasing population can live and avoid serious threats such as volcanic activity, earthquakes, landslides, floods and more. These are just a few of the problems where solutions depend upon a deep understanding of Earth science.

What is Geology?


What is Geology? - What Does a Geologist Do?


Definition of Geology:



Geology is the study of the Earth, the materials of which it is made, the structure of those materials, and the processes acting upon them. It includes the study of organisms that have inhabited our planet. An important part of geology is the study of how Earth’s materials, structures, processes and organisms have changed over time.


What Does a Geologist Do?



Geologists work to understand the history of our planet. The better they can understand Earth’s history the better they can foresee how events and processes of the past might influence the future. Here are some examples:

Geologists study earth processes: Many processes such as landslides, earthquakes, floods and volcanic eruptions can be hazardous to people. Geologists work to understand these processes well enough to avoid building important structures where they might be damaged. If geologists can prepare maps of areas that have flooded in the past they can prepare maps of areas that might be flooded in the future. These maps can be used to guide the development of communities and determine where flood protection or flood insurance is needed.

Geologists study earth materials: People use earth materials every day. They use oil that is produced from wells, metals that are produced from mines, and water that has been drawn from streams or from underground. Geologists conduct studies that locate rocks that contain important metals, plan the mines that produce them and the methods used to remove the metals from the rocks. They do similar work to locate and produce oil, natural gas and ground water.

Geologists study earth history: Today we are concerned about climate change. Many geologists are working to learn about the past climates of earth and how they have changed across time. This information is valuable to understand how our current climate is changing and what the results might be.


Geology as a Career:



Geology can be a very interesting and rewarding career. The minimum training required is a four-year college degree in geology. Pre-college students who are interested in becoming geologists should take a full curriculum of college preparatory courses, especially those in math, science, and writing. Courses related to computers, geography and communication are also valuable. Geologists work in a variety of settings. These include: natural resource companies, environmental consulting companies, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and universities. Many geologists do field work at least part of the time. Others spend their time in laboratories, classrooms or offices. All geologists prepare reports, do calculations and use computers.
Although a bachelor's degree is required for entry level employment,
many geologists earn master's and/or doctorate degrees. The advanced degrees provide a higher level of training, often in a geology specialty area such as paleontology, mineralogy, hydrology or volcanology. Advanced degrees will often qualify the geologist for supervisory positions, research assignments or teaching positions at the university level. These are some of the most sought after jobs in the field of geology.

Employment opportunities for geologists are very good. Most geology graduates with a strong academic background and good grades have no trouble finding employment if they are willing to move to a location where work is available.


Employment Outlook:



Over the next several years the number of geology job openings is expected to exceed the number of students graduating from university geology programs. Starting salaries for geologists have recently ranged from $50,000 to $100,000 per year.


How Can You Become a Geologist?



If you are a pre-college student can prepare to become a geologist by doing well in all of your courses. Science courses are especially important but math, writing, and other disciplines are used by every geologist during every working day.

If you are considering college or graduate school there are many universities that offer courses or programs in geology. Visit the website of a school that offers a geology degree, get in touch with the geology department, let them know you are interested and make arrangements to visit the campus. Don't be hesitant. Good schools and professors want to be contacted by interested students.
