Bila cintamu tlah pudar
Aku tak dapat bertahan
Sejuta harapan sirna,
sirna sudah...
Kutak bisa `tuk memaksa
dapat pertahankan cinta
Jika memanglah sudah,
hilang semua...
Sperti bintang di angkasa
jatuh tak dapat bertahan
Hancur dan teruslah musnah,
selamanya...
Mungkin inilah saatnya
hilang 1 yang terindah
Melelahkan bila,
kuharus bertahan...
Chorus:
Ku melepaskan yang tak kurelakan
Cintamu yang hilang dapat aku rasakan
Inikah jawaban semua perjalanan?
Berakhir menyakitkan,
sanggupkah ku padamkan...
Dapat ku mengertikan semuanya...
Dan kuserahkan waktunya
yang tak mungkin mudah lepaskan
kenanganku denganmu...

MENURUNKAN RESIKO STROKE DENGAN VITAMIN C

Semua orang pasti sudah familiar dengan vitamin C. Vitamin C adalah salah satu vitamin paling penting yang dapat membantu manusia menjaga kebugaran dan menguatkan kekebalan tubuh. Namun tak hanya itu saja , baru-baru ini penelitian juga telah mengungkap bahwa vitamin C juga dapat untuk menurunkan risiko stroke.
Berdasarkan pertemuan tahunan pada American Academy of Neurology, peneliti telah mengungkap bahwa risiko hemorrhagic stroke (yang lebih mematikan, namun lebih arang terjadi dibandingkan stroke biasa) lebih rendah pada orang yang telah memenuhi kebutuhan vitamin C mereka.
"Penelitian kami telah menunjukkan bahwa kekurangan vitamin C bisa jadi salah satu faktor pemicu beberapa jenis stroke, sama seperti tekanan darah tinggi, kebiasaan minum alkohol, dan kelebihan berat badan," ungkap ketua peneliti Dr Stephane Vannier, M.D. dari Pontchaillou University Hospital di Prancis, seperti dilansir oleh Huffington Post (15/02).
Hasil ini juga telah ditemukan setelah peneliti mengamati tingkat vitamin C pada darah dari 65 partisipan yang telah mengalami hemorrhagic stroke, kemudian membandingkannya dengan kadar vitamin C dalam darah partisipan yang sehat. Mereka menemukan bahwa partisipan yang telah memiliki cukup vitamin C dalam darah mereka berkemungkinan lebih kecil untuk terkena stroke, dibandingkan dengan yang kekurangan vitamin C.
Sebelumnya, penelitian tahun 2008 di University of Cambridge juga telah menunjukkan bahwa orang yang memiliki tingkat vitamin C tinggi pada darah berisiko terkena stroke 42 persen lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan orang yang kekurangan vitamin C. Meski begitu peneliti telah menjelaskan bahwa penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana cara vitamin C bisa menurunkan risiko stroke.
Berdasarkan National Institutes of Health, diketahui bahwa pria dewasa direkomendasikan mengonsumsi 90 miligram vitamin C sehari, sementara wanita dewasa membutuhkan sekitar 75 miligram vitamin C sehari. Vitamin C bisa didapatkan melalui beberapa makanan alami seperti jeruk, brokoli, dan paprika.
Fatal Police Shootings: Accounts Since Ferguson
Since a white police officer, Darren Wilson fatally shot unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, in a confrontation last August in Ferguson, Mo., there have been many other cases in which the police have shot and killed suspects, some of them unarmed. Mr. Brown's death set off protests throughout the country, pushing law enforcement into the spotlight and sparking a public debate on police tactics. Here is a selection of police shootings that have been reported by news organizations since Mr. Brown's death. In some cases, investigations are continuing.

Negative View of U.S. Race Relations Grows, Poll Finds
Public perceptions of race relations in America have grown substantially more negative in the aftermath of the death of a young black man who was injured while in police custody in Baltimore and the subsequent unrest, far eclipsing the sentiment recorded in the wake of turmoil in Ferguson, Mo., last summer.
The poll findings highlight the challenges for local leaders and police officials in trying to maintain order while sustaining faith in the criminal justice system in a racially polarized nation.
Sixty-one percent of Americans now say race relations in this country are generally bad. That figure is up sharply from 44 percent after the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown and the unrest that followed in Ferguson in August, and 43 percent in December. In a CBS News poll just two months ago, 38 percent said race relations were generally bad. Current views are by far the worst of Barack Obama’s presidency.
The negative sentiment is echoed by broad majorities of blacks and whites alike, a stark change from earlier this year, when 58 percent of blacks thought race relations were bad, but just 35 percent of whites agreed. In August, 48 percent of blacks and 41 percent of whites said they felt that way.
Looking ahead, 44 percent of Americans think race relations are worsening, up from 36 percent in December. Forty-one percent of blacks and 46 percent of whites think so. Pessimism among whites has increased 10 points since December.
The poll finds that profound racial divisions in views of how the police use deadly force remain. Blacks are more than twice as likely to say police in most communities are more apt to use deadly force against a black person — 79 percent of blacks say so compared with 37 percent of whites. A slim majority of whites say race is not a factor in a police officer’s decision to use deadly force.
Overall, 44 percent of Americans say deadly force is more likely to be used against a black person, up from 37 percent in August and 40 percent in December.
Blacks also remain far more likely than whites to say they feel mostly anxious about the police in their community. Forty-two percent say so, while 51 percent feel mostly safe. Among whites, 8 in 10 feel mostly safe.
One proposal to address the matter — having on-duty police officers wear body cameras — receives overwhelming support. More than 9 in 10 whites and blacks alike favor it.
Asked specifically about the situation in Baltimore, most Americans expressed at least some confidence that the investigation by local authorities would be conducted fairly. But while nearly two-thirds of whites think so, fewer than half of blacks agree. Still, more blacks are confident now than were in August regarding the investigation in Ferguson. On Friday, six members of the police force involved in the arrest of Mr. Gray were charged with serious offenses, including manslaughter. The poll was conducted Thursday through Sunday; results from before charges were announced are similar to those from after.
Reaction to the recent turmoil in Baltimore, however, is similar among blacks and whites. Most Americans, 61 percent, say the unrest after Mr. Gray’s death was not justified. That includes 64 percent of whites and 57 percent of blacks.
The nationwide poll was conducted from April 30 to May 3 on landlines and cellphones with 1,027 adults, including 793 whites and 128 blacks. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points for all adults, four percentage points for whites and nine percentage points for blacks. See the full poll here.
