something in my dorm ( bibi ) :D

guess what I'm going to write ? hhm, goose guys. I have a goose in my dorm, the male one ( bibibibi ) . my friend and I call him bibi.. actually we have a couple of goose here, unfortunately last two semester the female one was died, for lack of food... ( poor goose  and we were so sorry ). so, the male who just alone until now prefer to catch us whenever he saw us. some of the story and actually funny story that my friend and I face every time we meet bibi is we must run as fast as we can, hahaha, if not, he will bite ( nyosor ) us. haha :D. usually the goose catch us whenever we want to hang up our clothes behind the dorm, wow !! sometimes we often scream while running from the goose.
bibi, even though you are naughty but honestly I like you, because I have a friend that make me want to run and scream... wkwkwkw ( a little bit lebay )
moreover, you are the security in our dorm, you almost always scream whenever you feel something bad happen or someone come to our castle at the night ... :P
bibi bibi bibi :)

time to time

time to time we must realize that life is beautiful and useful if we live with good way and with blessed by Allah. even though day by day we  face something that we don't want it happen but we must face it with patient and try to find the good solution to face that problem. try the best to solve it and just pray to Allah from your deep heart and really hope that Allah will make your pray become reality. ( I took this knowledge from Al-quran , Al-A'raf but I forgot the number of the ayat ).

hi guys. for all who like to hunting food or "wisata kuliner" let's come to my dorm, because some of my sister is make and sale pancakes and the taste is delicious. the cost is not expansive. :D. if you can't you can read about pancake that I will write below and try to make by your self ... :))

Pancakes are a type of flat sweet bread enjoyed by cultures around the world. Pancake recipes vary but all have the same basic ingredients of flour, eggs and milk. Some countries, like the United States and Canada, serve pancakes for breakfast while others, such as the European regions, serve pancakes as desserts or even side dishes. They are eaten plain, with butter, sprinkled with powdered sugar or filled with pastry, fruit or cheese. Whatever the tradition, pancakes are a truly universal and enjoyable treat.

On Fat Tuesday (aka Shrove Tuesday) pancakes are eaten because they primarily contain sugar, fat, and flour which are restricted during the fasting of Lent.

ingredients :

The following ingredients will make about 8 10-inch pancakes (more or fewer, depending on the size). You may change the amounts of ingredients according to the amount of which you wish to serve.

• 2 cups (9oz/255g) self-raising or all-purpose flour (See tips below)
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups (350ml) of milk
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons butter/Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons sugar (optional)
• 2 teaspoons baking soda

good luck :)

flat tire

thursday.. I woke up earlier today, at 4.30. I finished my structure assignment then did Subuh pray.
after that, I borough my friend's pump because my bicycle  got flat tire :(. after that, I prepared to went to the campus. unfortunately,  it got flat tire again and I pumped it again. My friend suggested me to not ride that bicycle. I didn't do what she was suggested to me because I thought that I'm late. so, I went to the campus by riding my bicycle. huft, fortunately, my lecturer had not come yet, but my bicycle got flat tire again.
:((

WILLIAM SYNDROME

WILLIAMS SYNDROME

What is Williams syndrome?

Williams syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects a child's growth, physical appearance, and cognitive development. People who have Williams syndrome are missing genetic material from chromosome 7, including the gene elastin. This gene's protein product gives blood vessels the stretchiness and strength required to withstand a lifetime of use. The elastin protein is made only during embryonic development and childhood, when blood vessels are formed. Because they lack the elastin protein, people with Williams Syndrome have disorders of the circulatory system and heart defects.

How do people get Williams syndrome?

A deletion is caused by a break in the DNA molecule that makes up a chromosome. In most cases, the chromosome break occurs while the sperm or egg cell (the male or female gamete) is developing. When this gamete is fertilized, the child will develop Williams syndrome. The parent, however, does not have the break in any other cells of the body and does not have the syndrome. In fact, the break is usually such a rare event that it is very unlikely to happen again if the parent has another child.
It is possible for a child to inherit a broken chromosome from a parent who also had the disorder. But this is rare because most people with Williams syndrome do not have children.

What are the symptoms of Williams syndrome?

The most common symptoms of Williams syndrome are mental retardation, heart defects, and unusual facial features (small upturned nose, wide mouth, full lips, small chin, widely spaced teeth).
Other symptoms include: low birth weight, failure to gain weight appropriately, kidney abnormalities, and low muscle tone.
People with this syndrome also exhibit characteristic behaviors, such as hypersensitivity to loud noises and an overly outgoing personality.

How do doctors diagnose Williams syndrome?

Doctors can identify the syndrome by its distinctive physical characteristics. They can confirm the diagnosis by using a special technique called FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization).
The chromosomal deletion that causes Williams Syndrome is so small that it cannot be seen in a karyotype. The deletion can be observed, however, with FISH. This technique allows DNA sequences to be labeled with a fluorescent chemical (called a probe) that lights up when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. The Williams Syndrome deletion can be detected by labeling the elastin gene with a fluorescent probe. The gene will light up under a UV light only if it is present; a lack of signal indicates a deletion.

How is Williams syndrome treated?

There is no cure for Williams syndrome. Patients must be continually monitored and treated for symptoms throughout their lives.

Interesting facts about Williams syndrome

One out of every 10,000 babies is born with Williams syndrome.
Williams syndrome is considered a microdeletion syndrome because the deletion is too small to be observed microscopically (less than 5 million bases of DNA are deleted).
When deletions occur during the formation of the egg and sperm, it is caused by unequal recombination during meiosis. Recombination normally occurs between pairs of chromosomes during meiosis while they are lined up at the metaphase plate. If the pairs of chromosomes don't line up correctly, or if the chromosome breaks aren't repaired properly, the structure of the chromosome can be altered. Unequal recombination occurs more often than usual at this location on chromosome 7, causing Williams syndrome. This is likely due to some highly repetitive DNA sequence that flanks the commonly deleted region.

bicycles ^^

A Quick History of Bicycles The Walking Machine In 1817 Baron von Drais invented a walking machine that would help him get around the royal gardens faster: two same-size in-line wheels, the front one steerable, mounted in a frame which you straddled. The device was propelled by pushing your feet against the ground, thus rolling yourself and the device forward in a sort of gliding walk. The machine became known as the Draisienne or hobby horse. It was made entirely of wood. This enjoyed a short lived popularity as a fad, not being practical for transportation in any other place than a well maintained pathway such as in a park or garden.
The Velocipede or Boneshaker The next appearance of a two-wheeled riding machine was in 1865, when pedals were applied directly to the front wheel. This machine was known as the velocipede ("fast foot"), but was popularly known as the bone shaker, since it was also made entirely of wood, then later with metal tires, and the combination of these with the cobblestone roads of the day made for an extremely uncomfortable ride. They also became a fad, and indoor riding academies, similar to roller rinks, could be found in large cities.
The High Wheel Bicycle In 1870 the first all metal machine appeared. (Previous to this metallurgy was not advanced enough to provide metal which was strong enough to make small, light parts out of.) The pedals were still atttached directly to the front wheel with no freewheeling mechanism. Solid rubber tires and the long spokes of the large front wheel provided a much smoother ride than its predecessor. The front wheels became larger and larger as makers realized that the larger the wheel, the farther you could travel with one rotation of the pedals. You would purchase a wheel as large as your leg length would allow. This machine was the first one to be called a bicycle ("two wheel"). These bicycles enjoyed a great popularity among young men of means (they cost an average worker six month's pay), with the hey-day being the decade of the 1880s.
Because the rider sat so high above the center of gravity, if the front wheel was stopped by a stone or rut in the road, or the sudden emergence of a dog, the entire apparatus rotated forward on its front axle, and the rider, with his legs trapped under the handlebars, was dropped unceremoniously on his head. Thus the term "taking a header" came into being.
The High Wheel Tricycle While the men were risking their necks on the high wheels, ladies, confined to their long skirts and corsets, could take a spin around the park on an adult tricycle. These machines also afforded more dignity to gentlemen such as doctors and clergymen. Many mechanical innovations now associated with the automobile were originally invented for tricycles. Rack and pinion steering, the differential, and band brakes, to name a few!
The High Wheel Safety Improvements to the design began to be seen, many with the small wheel in the front to eliminate the tipping-forward problem. One model was promoted by its manufacturer by being ridden down the front steps of the capitol building in Washington, DC. These designs became known as high-wheel safety bicycles. Since the older high-wheel designs had been known simply as bicycles, they were now referred to as "ordinary bicycles" in comparison with the new-fangled designs, and then simply as "ordinaries."
The Hard-Tired Safety The further improvement of metallurgy sparked the next innovation, or rather return to previous design. With metal that was now strong enough to make a fine chain and sprocket small and light enough for a human being to power, the next design was a return to the original configuration of two same-size wheels, only now, instead of just one wheel circumference for every pedal turn, you could, through the gear ratios, have a speed the same as the huge high-wheel. The bicycles still had the hard rubber tires, and in the absence of the long, shock-absorbing spokes, the ride they provided was much more uncomfortable than any of the high-wheel designs. Many of these bicycles of 100 years ago had front and/or rear suspensions. These designs competed with each other, your choice being the high-wheel's comfort or the safety's safety, but the next innovation tolled the death of the high-wheel design.
The Pnuematic-Tired Safety The pnuematic tire was first applied to the bicycle by an Irish veterinarian who was trying to give his young son a more comfortable ride on his tricycle. This inventive young doctor's name was Dunlop. Sound familar? Now that comfort and safety could be had in the same package, and that package was getting cheaper as manufacturing methods improved, everyone clamored to ride the bicycle. This 1898 Yale uses a shaft drive to dispense with the dirty chain. The bicycle was what made the Gay Ninties gay. It was a practical investment for the working man as transportation, and gave him a much greater flexibility for leisure. Ladies, heretofore consigned to riding the heavy adult size tricycles that were only practical for taking a turn around the park, now could ride a much more versatile machine and still keep their legs covered with long skirts. The bicycle craze killed the bustle and the corset, instituted "common-sense dressing" for women and increased their mobility considerably. In 1896 Susan B. Anthony said that "the bicycle has done more for the emancipation of women than anything else in the world." Bicycling was so popular in the 1880s and 1890s that cyclists formed the League of American Wheelman (still in existence and now called the League of American Bicyclists). The League lobbied for better roads, literally paving the road for the automobile.
The Kid's Bike Introduced just after the First World War by several manufacturers, such as Mead, Sears Roebuck, and Montgomery Ward, to revitalize the bike industry (Schwinn made its big splash slightly later), these designs, now called "classic", featured automobile and motorcyle elements to appeal to kids who, presumably, would rather have a motor. If ever a bike needed a motor, this was it. These bikes evolved into the most glamorous, fabulous, ostentatious, heavy designs ever. It is unbelievable today that 14-year-old kids could do the tricks that we did on these 65 pound machines! They were built into the middle '50s, by which time they had taken on design elements of jet aircraft and even rockets. By the '60s, they were becoming leaner and simpler.

affected and thanks for all demonstrator

on thursday, there were a demonstration in DPR office Padang. the demonstrator came from some universities in Padang such as : UNP, UNAND, UPI, UBH and some from the people who against the policy of the government's to rise the cost of BBM. I saw the demonstrator was very ambitious to make the government cancel their planning to rise the cot of BBM.
Not only in Padang, but also in some cities in Indonesia there were many demonstration to cancel the government's plan to rise the cost of BBM
I was so sad and concerned when saw their ambition and their willingness in that demonstration. they did it to make the citizens of Indonesia who are still  lets we say in  "low economic condition" can buy the BBM in the price that proper with their income.
Alhamdulillah, I heard from the news this morning, the government's plan to rice the cost of BBM postponed until 6 months later.Hopefully this news become reality.
thanks for all demonstrator
