The Clever Man
Kim Peeks, the clever man.
Dear readers,
this is our last story to complete tasks assigned by the lecturer. Our latest
title is a clever man in the world. His name is Kim Peeks. He was born on
November 11, 1951. He has a remarkable memory as can be given from the age of
16-20 months. He actually diagnose FG syndrome. He read books, memorized them
then placed them on the shelf to show that he had finished read them. For him,
the local library is Kim's favorite place in the world.
Kim Peeks
can remember everything that he has been read from the first word until the last
word exactly like a book that have estimate 360,000 words. For him, he can read
a book within ten seconds meanwhile we have to read at least 3 minutes.
He reads the
left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye and will
retain about 98% of it. He took 15 subjects, but he did not know how to solve
math problems. According to an article in The Times newspaper, he could
accurately recall the contents of at least 12,000 books.
In 2008, he
probably had FG syndrome which causes physical anomalies such as hypertonia
(low muscle tone) and macrocephaly (an abnormally large head). On 19 December
2009, he was dead of a heart attack at the age of 58 years.
In
conclusion, we as students want to have a strong memory like him. If we have
memory like him, we can pass the examinations easily. On the whole, we should
emulate the attitude of diligent reading the book to increase our knowledge.
Therefore, we need to make him as a role model to success in the future.
The Iceman
Hi, recently we have read an article titled ice man. It is
an amazing life when people can stay in the coolest air or water in a long
hours without clothes. This news has caught our attention and we want to share
it with you guys.
This guy named Wim Hof. He was born in 1959 and he was from
the Netherlands. He also holds the world record. His superiority is swimming in
the large distances under polar ice, running a marathon barefoot to climbing
the Everest in nothing more than a pair of shorts.
In 2007, he climb Mount Everest with wearing only shorts but
at 6.7 km he failed to reach the summit due to injury in his leg. In 2008, he
broke his previous world's record by staying immersed in ice for 1 hour, 13
minutes and 48 seconds at Guinness World Records. In 2009, he participated in
the marathon in Finland with wearing shorts and reach the finish line with a
time of 5 hours 25 minutes.
Furthermore, in 2010 Wim Hof broke a record in Tokyo,
Japan by standing on ice for 1 hour 52 minutes and 42 seconds. Finally, in 2011
he also ran a full marathon in the Namib Desert without water. The run was
performed under the supervision of Dr. Thijs Eijsvogels.
As the conclusion, what was done by Wim Hof really
impressed us. Most people can take action, such as Wim Hof but for us there
are limits. For us, we can only hold an ice cube in a while because we cannot
withstand the cold of the ice cube. So amazing because he has the ability to
withstand cold very high.

The Longest Fingernails
Hey guys, do you want to know something? In This world, there’s a people that save their fingernails around 30 years. Do you know how long their nails are? Have you ever wonder how they eat, drive, shower and ect with that long fingernails? As a human that must be difficult to do their routine life every day.
Lee Redmond and Melvin Boothe awarded
as The Longest Fingernail Ever in the World Book of Record.
Since 1979, Lee Redmond take care of her fingernails like a baby for 30 years. Unfortunately,
her nail was destroyed after involved in an accident. For her, it is just not a
normal fingernail, its like her identity since it is most thing she love. She felt like losing the
whole life. Imagine you losing someone you really love and have been together
for 30 years? It is awful and tragic.
Even with negative comments from people around her, she still continues
to keep her nail. She doesn’t care about other people. She has a mind-set
that we just need to do the things that we love in order to be happy.
In conclusion,
our opinion is we cannot keep our fingernails long because cleanliness is a priority in Islam. Apart from
that, keep nails long would interfere with our daily routine. Other than that, dust and dirt from environment can
stick on our nail. This will cause your nails will become dirty and we are easily infected with various diseases.

An Advance Little Boy
Most of today's children are more vulnerable to gadget over
time increasingly sophisticated while in India, a children had managed to set
foot on the base camp of Mount Everest.
Harshit Saumitra was on the base camp of Mount Everest
In 2012, a five year old boy was climbing Everest with
support from parents to get to the top of the mountain.
Harshit Saumitra’s parents tried to register his name in the
Guinness World Records and the Limca Book of Records for being the youngest
climber to reach the base camp of Mount Everest, five days after he achieved
the feat. The father said Harshit Saumitra's pictures of reaching the base
camp, video clippings and his birth certificate would be sent to the Guinness
World Records and the Limca Book of Records offices.
Even in the same year there were seven years old boy broke
the record but Harshit Saumitra’s father insisted that his son is also entitled
to a name in the Guinness World Records and the Limca Book of Records.
In conclusion, there are advantages and disadvantages in the
act of Harshit Saumitra’s parents. Parents should educate their children so
that they would not waste their time with things that are not beneficial. At
least Harshit Saumitra will be able to give encouragement to the other children
to try something new and challenging. In this way, they can strengthen the
intellectual stamina and brain. But the disadvantages of their action. Among
the deficiencies in their actions is that they have endangered the lives of
their children, because the weather was too cold and the altitude of the
mountain that is not suitable to be climbed by children.

Our Future Home- Egg Coffin
Before this, we only told you guys about extraordinary and strange people or things. But, for this week, we will talk
about extraordinary thing that created by human.
As we know, grave is the place that we bury people who died.
But this picture is a FOREST!
If you think this is just a normal forest, nope! You are wrong. This is actually a green cemetery.
This idea was created by Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel, the
designer from Italy. They create an innovation of a cemetery.
Capsula Mundi is a
container, shaped like an egg. It made from a modern material -starch plastic-
in which the dead body is put in a fetal position, just like we in our mom
womb. Capsula Mundi is planted like a seed in the soil, and a tree is planted
on top of it. The tree is chosen when the person is alive, relatives and
friends look after it when death occurs. A cemetery will no longer be full of
tombstones and will become a sacred forest. Trees planted above them would suck
their nutrients and grow.
By planting different kinds of trees next to each other it
creates a place for a beautiful walk and a reminder of our loved ones.
"Capsula Mundi designed purpose is to curb the rampant felling of trees and makes us love nature"
We guess both of them have a such great ideas to remember of our loved who have died. In addition, we may increase more oxygen in the presence of many green trees because the issue of cutting down trees for the benefits of human are becoming more common. Therefore, we have to take care of the flora and fauna for the benefit of all and the law should be tightened so that illegal loggers can be eradicated.
