Great Pyramid. of Giza
The great Pyramid of Giza is the name given to the oldest and largest of all pyramids located in Giza, the third-
largest city in Egypt. This pyramid is also known as
the Pyramid of Khufu as it was built for the fourth dynasty Pharaoh of Egypt, Khufu. This historical building of
Egypt is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and remain in the list until now.

With its base size (230.4 metres) and its height (146.5 metres) this pyramidal construction considered to
be the tallest building in the world for more than 3.800 years. It was estimated by the scientist that it took 20
years to build the pyramid. The whole building was formed by using -2.300.000 stone blocks which arranged
into 210 layers from the bottom to the top , Each stone block has average size of 1 to 1.5 m with the weight of
6.5 to 10 tons for each large stone.
Egyptologists believe that the function of the pyramid is to be used as a tomb for the Pharaoh. There are
two entrances that we can use to enter the pyramid. Both of them is located on the east side of the pyramid.
Once we enter e d the building, we will find three chambers inside the great pyramid. The lowest chamber is
called the subterranean chamber, the highest chamber is the King's chamber, and the one in the middle is the
Queen's chamber. You will also find a passage called the grand gallery connecting the Queen's chamber and the
King's chamber.

Half of All Heart Patients Make m edication Errors.
q

(Reuters Health) - Half of all heart patients made at least one medication-related mis take after leaving the
hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist didn't seem to reduce those errors, in a new study..
.1

Consequences of mistakes–such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the wrong dose–can range from
side effects like constipation to more serious drops in blood pressure. Two percent of errors were life-
threatening.
Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent medication mistakes in addition to the extra
pharmacist intervention, said Dr. Sunil Kripalani, the study's lead author from the Vanderbilt University Medical
Center in ashville, Tennessee.
"We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts that 50 percent (of patients) were still having these
medication errors," he told Reuters Health.
Although the pharmacist visits didn't help the average patient, he added, certain ones seemed to benefit–such as
patients who were on: multiple drugs or had trouble understanding health information.

As for traditionally lower-risk patients, he said other strategies to prevent errors may be needed.

Hundred years ago, during the reign of the last king of Majapahit, Brawijaya, one of the king's wives gave
birth to a girl who was named Roro Anteng. Later this young princess married Joko Seger, who came from a
Brahman caste. Because of an un,,fprtunate situation the couple was forced to leave the kingdom. They
settled down in the mountain area. They ruled the area and named it 'Tengger', which was derived from the
couple's named: Roro Anteng and Joko Seger.
After several years the region flourished in prosperity, but the couple was unhappy because they didn't
have a child. One day they climbed the top of the mountain and prayed night and day hoping that the gods
would listen. They prayer was heard and Betoro Bromo promised them many children. However, the couple
had to promise that they would sacrifice their youngest child in return. Roro Anteng gave birth to a child, then
another, and another. In the end, Roro Anteng and Joko Seger got 25 children.
Soon it was time for them to sacrifice the youngest child, Kesuma, but just couldn't do it. They tried to hide
the child, but an eruption happened and Kesuma fell into the crater. There was silence before they heard a voice:"I
have to be sacrificed so that you will all stay alive. From now on, you should arrange an annual offering
ceremony on the 14t h Kesodo (the twelfth month of Tenggerese calendar)". It was Kesuma's voice.

Prior to 1945, Indonesia was a colony of the Netherlands. When Japan began to expand, Japanese leaders
decided to support an independence movement in Indonesia to drive the Netherlands out of its sphere of influence.
Achmed Soekarno and Muhammad Hatta collaborated with the Japanese military to reclaim Indonesia from
the Dutch government. When Japan surrendered to the United States in 1945, Soekarno and Hatta feared that
their window of opportunity was closing.
On 17 August 1945, Soekarno announced the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence. In Indonesian,
the proclamation is known as Proklamasi Kemerdekaan Indonesia. Soon after the announcement of the
proclamation, Soekarno and Hatta used Japanese weapons and equipment to revolt against the Dutch
government in Indonesia.
The Dutch were initially driven out of Jakarta, but reinforcements ensured that fighting would continue
until 1949. Weary of bloodshed, the United Nations blocked the Netherlands' ambitions to go to war by calling
for diplomatic measures. After ten weeks of tedious debates, Indonesia was granted its independence and
Dutch forces withdrew from East Asia. In August 1949, the United States of Indonesia was founded.
