Servicing of Oxygen Systems

Before servicing any aircraft with oxygen, consult the specific aircraft service manual to determine the type of equipment required and procedures to be used. Certain precautions should be observed whenever aircraft oxygen systems are to be serviced. Oxygen system servicing should be accomplished only when the aircraft is located outside of the hangars. Personal cleanliness and good housekeeping are imperative when working with oxygen. Oxygen under pressure and petroleum products create spontaneous results when they are brought in contact with each other. Service people should be certain to wash dirt, oil, and grease (including lip salves and hair oil) from their hands before working around oxygen equipment. It is also essential that clothing and tools are free of oil, grease, and dirt. Aircraft with permanently installed oxygen tanks usually require two persons to accomplish servicing of the system. One should be stationed at the service equipment control valves, and the other stationed where he or she can observe the aircraft system pressure gauges. Oxygen system servicing is not recommended during aircraft fueling operations or while other work is performed that could provide a source of ignition. Oxygen system servicing while passengers are on board the aircraft is not recommended.

Wong Fei Hung, Ulama Jagoan dari Guandong

Selama ini kita hanya mengenal Wong Fei Hung sebagai jagoan Kung fu dalam film "Once Upon A Time in China". Dalam film itu, karakter Wong Fei Hung diperankan oleh aktor terkenal Hong Kong, Jet Li. Namun siapakah sebenarnya Wong Fei Hung?

Wong Fei Hung adalah seorang ulama, ahli pengobatan, dan ahli beladiri legendaris yang namanya ditetapkan sebagai Pahlawan Nasional China oleh pemerintah China. Namun Pemerintah China sering berupaya mengaburkan jatidiri Wong Fei Hung sebagai seorang muslim demi menjaga supremasi kekuasaan komunis di China.

Wong Fei-Hung dilahirkan pada tahun 1847 di Kwantung (Guandong) dari keluarga muslim yang taat. Nama Fei pada Wong Fei Hung merupakan dialek Canton untuk menyebut nama Arab, Fais. Sementara Nama Hung juga merupakan dialek Kanton untuk menyebut nama Arab, Hussein. Jadi, bila di-bahasa-arab-kan, namanya ialah Faisal Hussein Wong.

Ayahnya, Wong Kay-Ying adalah seorang Ulama, dan tabib ahli ilmu pengobatan tradisional, serta ahli beladiri tradisional Tiongkok (wushu/kungfu). Ayahnya memiliki sebuah klinik pengobatan bernama Po Chi Lam di Canton (ibukota Guandong).

Wong Kay-Ying merupakan seorang ulama yang menguasai ilmu wushu tingkat tinggi. Ketinggian ilmu beladiri Wong Kay-Ying membuatnya dikenal sebagai salah satu dari Sepuluh Macan Kwantung. Posisi Macan Kwantung ini di kemudian hari diwariskannya kepada Wong Fei Hung.

Kombinasi antara pengetahuan ilmu pengobatan tradisional dan teknik beladiri serta ditunjang oleh keluhuran budi pekerti sebagai Muslim membuat keluarga Wong sering turun tangan membantu orang-orang lemah dan tertindas pada masa itu. Karena itulah masyarakat Kwantung sangat menghormati dan mengidolakan Keluarga Wong.

Pasien klinik keluarga Wong yang meminta bantuan pengobatan umumnya berasal dari kalangan miskin yang tidak mampu membayar biaya pengobatan. Walau begitu, Keluarga Wong tetap membantu setiap pasien yang datang dengan sungguh-sungguh. Keluarga Wong tidak pernah pandang bulu dalam membantu, tanpa memedulikan suku, ras, agama, semua dibantu tanpa pamrih.

Secara rahasia, keluarga Wong terlibat aktif dalam gerakan bawah tanah melawan pemerintahan Dinasti Ch’in yang korup dan penindas. Dinasti Ch’in ialah Dinasti yang merubuhkan kekuasaan Dinasti Yuan yang memerintah sebelumnya. Dinasti Yuan ini dikenal sebagai satu-satunya Dinasti Kaisar Cina yang anggota keluarganya banyak yang memeluk agama Islam.

Wong Fei-Hung mulai mengasah bakat beladirinya sejak berguru kepada Luk Ah-Choi yang juga pernah menjadi guru ayahnya. Luk Ah-Choi inilah yang kemudian mengajarinya dasar-dasar jurus Hung Gar yang membuat Fei Hung sukses melahirkan jurus "Tendangan Tanpa Bayangan" yang legendaris.

Dasar-dasar jurus Hung Gar ditemukan, dikembangkan dan merupakan andalan dari Hung Hei-Kwun, kakak seperguruan Luk Ah-Choi. Hung Hei-Kwun adalah seorang pendekar Shaolin yang lolos dari peristiwa pembakaran dan pembantaian oleh pemerintahan Dinasti Ch’in pada 1734.

Hung Hei-Kwun ini adalah pemimpin pemberontakan bersejarah yang hampir mengalahkan dinasti penjajah Ch’in yang datang dari Manchuria (sekarang kita mengenalnya sebagai Korea). Jika saja pemerintah Ch’in tidak meminta bantuan pasukan-pasukan bersenjata bangsa asing (Rusia, Inggris, Jepang), pemberontakan pimpinan Hung Hei-Kwun itu niscaya akan berhasil mengusir pendudukan Dinasti Ch’in.

Setelah berguru kepada Luk Ah-Choi, Wong Fei-Hung kemudian berguru pada ayahnya sendiri hingga pada awal usia 20-an tahun, ia telah menjadi ahli pengobatan dan beladiri terkemuka. Bahkan ia berhasil mengembangkannya menjadi lebih maju.

Kemampuan beladirinya semakin sulit ditandingi ketika ia berhasil membuat jurus baru yang sangat taktis namun efisien yang dinamakan jurus "Cakar Macan" dan jurus "Sembilan Pukulan Khusus".

Selain dengan tangan kosong, Wong Fei-Hung juga mahir menggunakan bermacam-macam senjata. Masyarakat Canton pernah menyaksikan langsung dengan mata kepala mereka sendiri bagaimana ia seorang diri dengan hanya memegang tongkat berhasil menghajar lebih dari 30 orang jagoan pelabuhan berbadan kekar dan kejam di Canton yang mengeroyoknya karena ia membela rakyat miskin yang akan mereka peras.

Dalam kehidupan keluarga, Allah banyak mengujinya dengan berbagai cobaan. Seorang anaknya terbunuh dalam suatu insiden perkelahian dengan mafia Canton. Wong Fei-Hung tiga kali menikah karena istri-istrinya meninggal dalam usia pendek.

Setelah istri ketiganya wafat, Wong Fei-Hung memutuskan untuk hidup sendiri sampai kemudian ia bertemu dengan Mok Gwai Lan, seorang perempuan muda yang kebetulan juga ahli beladiri. Mok Gwai Lan turut mengajar beladiri pada kelas khusus perempuan di perguruan suaminya. Mok Gwai Lan ini kemudian menjadi pasangan hidupnya hingga akhir hayat.

Pada 1924 Wong Fei-Hung meninggal dalam usia 77 tahun. Masyarakat Cina, khususnya di Kwantung dan Canton mengenangnya sebagai pahlawan pembela kaum mustad’afin (tertindas) yang tidak pernah gentar membela kehormatan mereka. Siapapun dan berapapun jumlah orang yang menindas orang miskin, akan dilawannya dengan segenap kekuatan dan keberanian yang dimilikinya.

Wong Fei-Hung wafat dengan meninggalkan nama harum yang membuatnya dikenal sebagai manusia yang hidup mulia, salah satu pilihan hidup yang diberikan Allah kepada seorang muslim selain mati Syahid.

Semoga segala amal ibadahnya diterima di sisi Allah Swt dan semoga segala kebaikannya menjadi teladan bagi kita, generasi muslim yang hidup setelahnya. Amiin. (sabili) created by tribunnews

avenged sevenfold dear god

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
To hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
And all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
To hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
When hope begins to fade

a lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
To hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

cristian bautista beautiful girl

Beautiful girl wherever you are
I knew when I saw you you had opened the door
I knew that I´d love again after a long long while
I´d love again.
You said "hello" and I turned to go
But something in your eyes left my heart beating so
I just knew that I´d love again after a long long while
I´d love again.

Refrain : It was destiny´s game
For when love finally came on
I rushed in line only to find
That you were gone.

Whenever you are I fear that I might
Have lost you forever like a song in the night
Now that I've loved again after a long long while
I´ve loved again.

Repeat Refrain

Beautiful girl I´ll search on for you
'Til all of your loveliness in my arms come true
You've made me love again after a long long while
In love again
'And I´m glad that it´s you
'Hmm beautiful girl

honda CBR 1000RR

There is no doubt the Honda CBR 1000RR is one of the hottest bikes on the market. It's reputation as a racing bike and one loved for street riding is irrefutable. Not all riders are in love with the stock look however and so there are many options on the market for improving the looks and sometimes the performance of the bike. Many of these aftermarket motorcycle exhausts are slip on exhausts that are quick and simple to install. Others require a bit more work to get them installed but the end result seems to be worth it to the rider because these exhausts are selling.

One of the relatively newcomers to the aftermarket exhaust revolution for the Honda CBR motorcycles is Hyperflo. Hyperflo exhausts were created by an avid motorcycle rider and engineer in Utah and the design and performance quickly took hold in the CBR community. Hyperflo has certainly created a name and buzz in the industry showing no slowing but rather an increase in sales and popularity. There are those riders who forcefully defend the sleek design and the throaty sound that seems to be original to Hyperflo.

As with many popular brands this one seems to be creating a stir and indeed is creating its own community of followers. The company has kept up with new designs and innovations that rival even the top brands on the market. It has been amazing to watch the surge that has come to the community from this startup. It seems Hyperflo did something right when creating their product. Perhaps there really is something to their slogan "See Hear and Feel the Difference!"

People Who Made It Big Into Soccer yeah

Soccer is famous throughout the world as a game of skill and excitement. It is full of twists and turns and is not a very easy game to predict.

Many people play this game from a young age with dreams of one day making it into the big time as a professional soccer player but alas not all of them make it.

But these following people definitely made it.

Edison Arantes Pele definitely needs no introduction. He was only 15 years old when he broke into the Brazilian world cup squad and managed to play as well as score two goals. Another of his claims to fame was to be named Athlete of the Century by the Olympic committee.

Pele had a wonderful 25 year playing career that produced around 1000 goals to his name. He was also selected as being one of the top 100 most influential sportspeople of the twentieth Century according to Time magazine.

An Argentinean of the same caliber as Pele was Diego Armando Maradona. This player also had talent to spare and just had a knack of scoring great goals.

His playing career lasted for about 26 years and made him a household name the world over. He was also in the news as much for his off the field antics as his on field prowess.

Bulgaria's answer to the complete soccer player was Hristo Stoichkov. From his humble beginnings playing for CSKA Sofia he soon hit the highlights with FC Barcelona with whom he won the Spanish title. His playing style certainly gave him fame and fortune but since he retired in 2003 he seems to have left the game behind.

Last but not least there is David Beckham. This man managed to represent his country of England in three world cups. David Beckham started his professional career aged just 16 and within 5 years he was playing for Manchester United and winning all before him. The pinnacle of David Beckham's career had to be captaining his country in the world cup of 2006.

FIFA World Cup 2010 Semi-Final Preview - Netherlands Versus Uruguay

The first semi-final of the 2010 World Cup is a clash of the unbeaten teams of the tournament. The Netherlands coasted through to the quarterfinals with a 100% record. Uruguay did not win every match, since the team drew with France in the group stage and Ghana in the quarterfinal. On recent form, the Dutch would be favoured to advance to their first final since 1978. For the Uruguayans, in their first World Cup semi-final since Mexico 1970, they already exceeded expectations by reaching the semi-finals. However, one cannot discount their chances of reaching the final.

Head-to-head record - Netherlands versus Uruguay

Those who fancy the Dutch to win comfortably might be surprised to learn that The Netherlands never defeated Uruguay in an official senior game before. The two teams faced off four times in history, with the Uruguayans winning three and the Dutch winning just one match. The South Americans have a +3 goal difference against the Western Europeans as well, scoring six goals and conceding only three in those four games.

Current form

The Netherlands is in top form going into the semi-final. Even in the qualifying stage, they won every one of their games in a group that contained Scotland and Norway. The Netherlands also won all five games leading to the semi-final, including two knockout-round wins in regulation time - against Slovakia and Brazil. With the return of Arjen Robben from injury, and a line-up that contains Robin Van Persie and Wesley Sneijder, it is easy to see why the Dutch are favoured on current form.

Uruguay had a heavy emphasis on defence throughout the tournament, which is part of the reason they do not have a 100% win record. The South Americans will be without their top-scorer Luis Suarez in the match against Holland, since Suarez denied Ghana a late extra-time winner by handling the ball. Suarez's suspension likely means that Uruguay would play a counter-attacking game, which is their preferred option against dangerous opponents. Their reliance on Forlan indicates that they would have few chances against the Dutch and, if they take the lead early, would seek to frustrate their opponents - as happened against Mexico in the last group match.

Verdict

The game would be decided on tactics. The match is likely to be close, and the burden would be on Holland to break down the Uruguayan defence without exposing themselves to the counter-attack. The Dutch are favourites to prevail, but football fans can expect an attritional battle.

Uruguay Versus Ghana - Assessing the Handled Ball That Denied Ghana a Semi-final Berth

In a dramatic quarterfinal match, Ghana came close to becoming the first African side to reach the semi-finals of a FIFA World Cup. Asamoah Gyan, one of the Ghanaian stars at the tournament, missed his 120th minute penalty kick. That miss took the match to kicks from the penalty mark, where Uruguay prevailed. Apart from Gyan's miss, the big talking point was Luis Suarez's handled ball that denied Ghana the winning goal. In a frenetic end to extra time, there was a lot of action in the Uruguay penalty area. The goalkeeper was off his line and out of position when the Ghanaians took a second shot at goal off a rebound. Luis Suarez, the striker, stood on the goal line and made a spectacular goal-line clearance. However, he clearly used his hands to push the ball away - as though he were the goalkeeper. The Portuguese referee spotted the ridiculous infringement and sent Suarez off for denying a goal by handling the ball. History would show that the resultant penalty kick struck the cross bar; Luis Suarez celebrated in the tunnel when he discovered that he saved his team from certain elimination. Nick Webster, of Fox Soccer Channel, suggested that Luis Suarez's action was cheating. Certainly, Suarez's action was not within the ambits of the Laws of the game. That is precisely why the referee took action against him. Not only did Suarez miss the rest of the game (the kicks from the penalty mark at least), but he missed the semi-final against The Netherlands. Suarez's action was the desperate act of a player trying to save his team. He knew that a Ghanaian goal in the 120th minute would leave Uruguay out of the tournament. He had a simple decision to make - allow the goal to go in and guarantee his country's elimination or deny a goal by deliberately handle the ball and give the goalkeeper a chance to save the ensuing penalty kick. Suarez chose the option that many players in his situation might have chosen. What appeared to bother some persons was that his team benefitted from his unsporting behaviour. FIFA's laws indicate that denying a goal by handling the ball is a sending off offence. They put this in place to deal with situations like the one in question. Still, some persons question whether it is fair, especially as Ghana - instead of having a certain goal - faced a high-pressure penalty kick. It is not fair, and that Uruguay benefitted was a travesty. However, Asamoah Gyan got a golden opportunity to create history for Ghana. More often than not, a team earning a penalty kick scores it. Suarez was already punished for his action and he would miss the next match. In light of Uruguay benefitting from the action it still seems unfair. However, FIFA can only rectify that by increasing the suspensions for such offences. Instead of Suarez earning the automatic one-match suspension, he should probably serve a two or three-match suspension instead. However, FIFA would have to address such situations before that can happen.
