Find Someone on Facebook by Phone Number

Maybe you've come home with a phone number in your pocket, but you can't remember who gave it to you. Or maybe you're wondering who that mystery number is on your caller ID. If you're trying to find the person associated with the digits, Facebook may be able to help. Some Facebook users list their phone number on their profiles. If your contact is one of those people, then his profile will appear in a quick Facebook search. But if he doesn't list the number on his profile, he won't appear in your search results.

Step 1

Log in to your Facebook account. You will need to have an active account in order to search for any users.

Step 2

Type the phone number into the search field at the top of the Facebook homepage. Press "Enter" to begin the search.

Step 3

Scroll through the list of search results. If your friend has listed her phone number on her public Facebook profile, her name should appear in the search results. Facebook also uses the Bing search engine to search outside of Facebook for terms that it could not find definitive matches for. You may end up with a few false positive results from Bing. Only click on links that are actual Facebook profiles.

Jorge Lorenzo Juara Dunia MotoGP 2012

Jorge Lorenzo dari tim Yamaha mengukuhkan kemenangan di arena balap MotoGP dengan titel juara dunia keduanya meski hanya berhasil finis nomor dua di Australia, Minggu (28/10).

Warga negara Spanyol ini mengantongi selisih nilai 43-poin yang tak mungkin lagi dikejar pesaing terdekatnya, Dani Pedrosa, menuju ajang balap terakhir di kampung halamannya di Valencia, Spanyol.

Juara pertama dalam sesi balap di sirkuit Pulau Phillip ini adalah pembalap tuan rumah Casey Stoner, yang telah membukukan kemenangan enam kali berturut-turut.

Rekan setim Stoner dari Repsol Honda, Dani Pedrosa, mengalami hari sial karena terpaksa mundur dari arena balap saat baru memasuki putaran kedua.

Lorenzo, yang pertama kali memenangi ajang MotoGP pada tahun 2010 ini, hanya perlu unggul tiga poin dari Pedrosa di arena sirkuit Pulau Phillip Island agar dapat menggondol gelar juara musim ini.
Stoner mundur

Akibatnya dia memilih bermain aman dan strategi ini terbukti manjur mengantarnya ke finis dan menggaet gelar juara dunia keduanya.

Sementara itu bersamaan dengan kemenangan ke-38 sepanjang karirnya di balap MotoGP, pembalap Casey Stoner menyatakan mundur dari arena adu cepat sepeda motor.

Stoner yang baru berusia 27 tahun ini merasa kondisinya tidak lagi memungkinkan untuk melanjutkan balapan setelah beberapa kali dihantam cedera.

Dia sempat didera cidera dan belum lama kembali dari ruang operasi akibat otot ligamen yang robek serta engkel yang retak akibat tabrakan dalam sesi kualifikasi balap MotoGP di Sirkuit Indianapolis, AS pertengahan Agustus lalu.

Stoner musim ini tampil tidak mengecewakan, kemenangannya di Austrlaia telah mampu membawanya berada di posisi ketiga klasemen MotoGP tahun 2012.

Jorge Lorenzo – 2012 MotoGP™ World Champion

Jorge Lorenzo’s journey to his two MotoGP™ premier class titles began at the age of three when he entered in minicross competitions in his native Mallorca, followed by junior motocross and a 50cc Copa Aprilia title in the Spanish Championship – an entry he was only granted with special permission. Lorenzo subsequently became the youngest ever rider to enter a World Championship race. Turning fifteen – the minimum age for Grand Prix participation back then - on the second day of practice for the 2002 Spanish race at Jerez, he made his debut on board a Derbi 125cc at a track where he would enjoy much success over the next few years.

In just his second season he took his first Grand Prix victory at Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, where his impressive "round the outside" overtaking manoeuvre on Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa won him the nickname "Por Fuera". In 2004 he sealed a further three triumphs, before making the move up to the 250cc category a year later and taking four poles and six podiums in his maiden season. 2006 was to be the coming-of-age year for the Mallorcan, who switched to Aprilia machinery and immediately became the favourite for the World Championship. He justified the hype with an impressive eight victories, equalling the pole position record in the process with ten, and lifting the title in an emotional final race of the year at Valencia.

Another dominant year in 2007 saw Lorenzo retaining the quarter-litre title, with all nine of his victories coming from pole. At just twenty years old, he was a two-time 250cc World Champion and took on his biggest challenge to date by signing for the Yamaha factory team in MotoGP alongside Valentino Rossi. Lorenzo made an immediate impact in the premier class with a stunning first five races. He took pole on his debut - becoming the first man to do so since Max Biaggi ten years previously - and finished second in an astounding performance in Qatar. He followed up the feat with pole at the next two races, becoming the first rider to go ‘three from three’ in his rookie season and turning both top spots into podium finishes.

Unfortunately his debut MotoGP season in 2008 was also marred by a few big crashes and injuries, including two broken ankles in China that eventually forced the debutant out of action for his home race in Catalunya. However he regained his fitness and confidence in the latter part of the season, and picked up the pace to finish fourth overall and become Rookie of the Year. Lorenzo went from strength to strength in 2009, pushing his then colleague and fierce rival Rossi all the way for the title. Their battle at Catalunya was a season highlight, and Lorenzo picked up four wins as part of a 12-podium haul for the year, with five pole positions as well. Ultimately he was unable to wrest the title from Rossi’s grip, but his challenge was becoming ever stronger.

2010 saw Lorenzo’s star rise even further, and he was finally able to shake off the ‘inconsistent’ tag by scoring podium finishes in the first twelve races of the season, winning seven of them in the process. He took pole on six occasions that season, and qualified on the front row of the grid for every race except one. Still aged just 23, he become only the second World Champion from Spain in the premier class after Alex Crivillé. 2011 saw the Mallorcan face a new foe in the form of a rejuvenated Casey Stoner on board his Repsol Honda, which proved to be a near unbeatable combination. Yet despite a Yamaha that looked to be lacking in power, he fought his way to three wins and ten podiums, and managed to finish the season in second, despite missing the final three races due to a bad finger injury.

With the switch to 1000cc at the start of 2012 Lorenzo and his Yamaha made a terrific start by winning the opening round in Qatar after a hard fought battle with the Repsol Hondas. From that point on the Spaniard went on to take five further wins and ten second-places, only once failing to finish a race after being taken out by Álvaro Bautista in Assen. The race at Phillip Island proved a dramatic one as his main rival Dani Pedrosa crashed out early on, with Lorenzo needing only a three-point finish or more to clinch the title. He however didn’t hold back and climbed on the podium once more to take his second premier-class title.

Jorge Lorenzo facts:
Lorenzo is the first Spanish rider to win the premier-class world title more than once.

He has finished either first or second at every race that he has finished during 2012.  The only occasion this year when he has failed to finish either first or second was when he was knocked off by Álvaro Bautista at the first corner of the Dutch TT.

Throughout the 2012 season only two riders have finished in front of Lorenzo – Dani Pedrosa and Casey Stoner.

He becomes just the third rider in the 64-year history of Grand Prix racing to win more than a single world title in both the intermediate-class and premier-class of Grand Prix racing.  The only other riders to have achieved this are Mike Hailwood and Phil Read.

Pemain-pemain Muslim di Newcastle United

Jika dalam berbagai pemberitaan dinyatakan bahwa Newcastle United hanya memiliki empat pemain Muslim, yaitu Cheick Tiote, Demba Ba, Hatem Ben Arfa, dan Papiss Cisse, ternyata, menurut Alan Pardew, The Magpies memiliki delapan pemain Muslim.

Hal itu dikemukakan Pardew dalam sebuah artikel yang dipublikasikan di Daily Mail, Sabtu (3/11). Pardew tidak menjelaskan siapa saja nama empat pemain Muslim lainnya karena bisa jadi empat pemain tersebut adalah anggota tim cadangan (reserves) atau bagian dari akademi muda Newcastle.

Pardew sangat terkesan dengan kedisiplinan pemain Muslim yang bersumber dari agama yang dianut mereka. Menurut dia, delapan pemain Muslim itu menjadi bagian penting dari klub.

Pelatih berusia 51 tahun itu menilai, kelompok pemain Muslim itu tidak hanya fokus pada karier, namun juga peduli tentang bagaimana mereka hidup, makan, tidur, dan bertingkah laku. Beberapa pemain Muslim tidak secara terbuka menunjukkan identitas keagamaannya. Salah satu pemain yang dinilai Pardew taat menjalankan ibadah agamanya adalah striker andalannya adalah Demba Ba. "Mungkin lebih dari yang lain dan saya menghormati itu," kata mantan arsitek West Ham itu.

Pemain-pemain Muslim di Klub Liga Primer Inggris

Belum lama ini, Daily Mail mengulas alasan mengapa manajemen Newcastle United berkomitmen membangun mushala di Sports Direct Arena.

Itu lantaran manajer the Magpies, Alan Pardew menghormati delapan pemain Muslim yang memperkuat Newcastle. Alhasil Newcastle disebut sebagai klub Liga Primer Inggris yang memiliki pemain Muslim terbanyak.

Namun anggapan itu tidak sepenuhnya tepat. Pasalnya Manchester City juga memiliki delapan pemain Muslim. Hanya saja, empat di antaranya yang sering masuk skuat utama. Adapun empat pemain lainnya hanya menjadi penghuni manis bangku cadangan.

Malahan, karena ingin memberikan kesempatan berkembang, manajer Roberto Mancini meminjamkan pemain itu kepada klub lain.

Selain Habib Kolo Toure dan Yaya Toure, Samir Nasri, dan Edin Dzeko, penggawa the Citizens yang beragama Islam adalah Abdisalam Ibrahim, Mohammed Abu, Abdul Razak, dan Karim Rekik. Dua nama terakhir ini masuk ke dalam daftar pemain cadangan kala juara bertahan Liga Primer Inggris itu mengalahkan Newcastle, 3-1 pada akhir pekan lalu.

Abdul Razak adalah pemain Timnas Pantai Gading berusia 20 tahun. Sedangkan Karim Rekik naru berusia 18 tahun dan merupakan bek Timnas Belanda U-19 keturunan Tunisia. Bersama Razak, Rekik digadang-gadang sebagai pemain masa depan City. 

Adapun Abdisalam sekarang dipinjamkan ke Stromsgodset dan merumput di Liga Norwegia. Meski lahir di Mogadishu, Somalia, gelandang berusia 21 tahun itu menjadi andalan Timnas Norwegia sejak U-15 hingga U-21.

Sementara, Mohammed Abu dipinjamkan ke Rayo Vallecano untuk merumput di La Liga Spanyol. Stok lini tengah yang melimpah membuat penggawa Timnas Ghana berusia 21 tahun itu harus tersingkir dari skuat City musim ini.

Satu lagi keberadaan direktur eksekutif pengembangan sepak bola yang juga mantan pemain City, Patrick Vieira, membuat sentuhan islami di klub itu semakin terlihat.

Sejak Syeikh Mansour menguasai Manchester City, taipan dari Uni Emirat Arab itu banyak mengeluarkan kebijakan yang memberikan pemain Muslim menjalankan ibadahnya dengan lebih leluasa. Membolehkan pemain berpuasa Ramadhan di tengah kompetisi adalah salah satunya.
