1, 2„ 3„ TEKNIK!!
Biasanya kalau seperti ini, spontan saya memilih untuk berlari. tapi entah kenapa, ketika kulempar koin, bukan gambar yang kuinginkan yang muncul. jadi secara tidak terlalu spontan, aku memilih untuk diam di tempat, memandangmu menjauh, melihat sekeliling, dan berusaha menyadari bahwa semua tetap indah.
Saya sangat sebal dan kesal dengan ketidaktahuan. Terutama ketidaktahuan yang saya miliki. Terutama dengan ketidaktahuan saya tentang kamu. Jalan pikiranmu. Dan bahkan alur hatimu.
Entah sebagaimana cepat kamu menemukan paramater. Atau hatimu sudah menuju kehampaan. Aku tidak faham. Aku tidak mengerti.
Kamu bilang saya harus bahagia. Tapi sepertinya kamu lupa. Kamulah alasan bahagiaku.
Kamu kan temanku, kamu kan sahabatku. Kita sudah sama-sama nyaman dan sayang. Seharusnya kamu sadar, tinggal menunggu waktu saja untuk terjatuh padamu.
Kamu tidak sadar kan?
Saya mencoba desain mozaik manual pake corel draw. dan seperti biasa, untuk percobaan desain, saya sangat suka pakai foto teman saya yang satu ini. mbak Rahmi Adhelia.
klo sempat saya akan buat tutorialnya. heheh :p
waw
Much better

Ant Zombie Tale: Mind-Controlling Fungus Loses to Lethal Foe
A fungus that invades the brains of ants, turning them into zombies on a death march, may have met its match. Another parasitic fungus, it turns out, effectively castrates the zombie-ant fungus so it can’t spread its spores, a new study finds.
The finding explains how an ant colony can survive infestations by the zombie-ant fungus.
“In a case where biology is stranger than fiction, the parasite of the zombie-ant fungus is itself a fungus, a hyperparasitic fungus that specializes in attacking the parasite that turns the ants into zombies,” said study leader David Hughes of Penn State University in a statement.
How Supernovas Formed Heavier Elements
With knowledge of the Big Bang creating lighter elements, such as hydrogen and helium, the question then becomes, “Where did the heavier elements come from?” Astrophysicists have believed that these heavier elements were created by supernova explosions. Due to the complexities of supernovae, astrophysicists have had difficulties making realistic computer simulations. However, recent experiments suggest that “astrophysicists are using the wrong data in their models” and that the “new results may have a great impact.”
In hopes to have a better understanding of supernova explosions and the formation of elements in supernovae, nuclear physicists at the University of Oslo measured the energy states of the elements iron and molybdenum.
In one of the experiments, the nuclear physicists shoot at a target consisting of iron, with helium ions. When a huge amount of energy is given to the iron nuclei, the protons and neutrons of the iron core are pushed into a new orbit. In the second experiment, helium is shot at molybdenum.
The atomic nuclei become highly excited and emit electromagnetic radiation. This radiation can be measured. The characteristics of the atomic nucleus appear to be different to what was previously thought.
In addition, nuclear physicist Ann-Cecilie Larsen points out,
We do not know what happens when nuclear reactions in supernova explosions move beyond the table of isotopes. In a matter of seconds, many exotic atoms are formed that do not exist on Earth and which quickly transform into stable elements. Since we have no data on these exotic nuclei, the astrophysicists have to make many assumptions about their properties.

Top 10 Biggest Brain Damaging Habits
1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overreacting
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.
10. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
