Indonesia Jaya

Hari-hari Terus Berlalu

Bukanlah suatu penghalang

Hadapilah segala tantangan
Mohon Petunjuk yang kuasa
Ciptakanlah Kerukunan Bangsa
Kobarkanlah, dalam dada

Hidup tiada mungkin
Tanpa perjuangan,
Tanpa pengorbanan,
Mulia adanya
Berpegangan tangan
Dalam satu cita
Demi masa depan

"No one knew the kids in 2 amish famillies were dying suddenly, now researchers have some answers"

About 15 years ago, an Amish family in the eastern US was hit by an unexplainable tragedy -- one of their children died suddenly while playing and running around. Just a few months later, the same fate befell another one of their children. Six years later, they lost another child. Two years after that, another one.

The autopsies didn't offer any clues. The children's hearts appeared normal. The family had what they referred to as "the curse of sudden death." And medical examiners couldn't figure out why.

After the deaths of the first two children, a medical examiner who conducted the autopsies got in touch with researchers at the Mayo Clinic Windland Smith Rice Sudden Death Genomics Laboratory in 2004. Researchers at the lab had pioneered the concept of molecular autopsy, using genetic testing to understand the cause of death in sudden unexplained cases, and the examiner wanted to see if they could shed light on the mystery affecting the Amish community.

Then group 3 displays a short movie about piper 

synopsis short movie of "piper "

A flock of sandpiper hunt for food at a seashore, rushing to peck at the sand when the wave recedes and retreating when it comes in. One baby is encouraged by her mother to join the flock, but she fails to retreat in time and is drenched by the incoming surf. The incident leaves the baby terrified of the water; she refuses to leave the nest, but soon notices a group of hermit crabs digging into the sand to find deeper food and keep from being buffeted by the tide. By copying their behavior, she starts to see the beauty of the underwater world and becomes skilled at discovering food for the flock.
