This week I’m reviewing the article “Austrian Skydiver Gets Ready For The Ultimate Plunge” originally written by Meera Dolasia. You’ve heard of skydiving and you know how awesome it seems well around the time you start school next year, August 2012, an Australian sky diver Felix Baumgartner will try a skydiving challenge that has never ever been tried before. He is going to freefall from a specially made capsule from the edge of space, around 120,000 feet or 23 miles. Yikes!!!!!!!! Airplanes only fly about one third of that height.

The article that I am summarizing is “Why Ultra Clean Water Is Harmful To Your Health”. This article got my attention when I was browsing through them because it made me wonder how in the world could water be too clean for our health when there was always water advertisements in stores, homes, on products, etc. that would say stuff like “Crisp clean water!” or “The best purified water!”…. to me, this didn’t make sense at all because everyone is always trying to make our water source a cleaner product for our use but as I read on, I realized why.

The article I am reviewing is Fishermen In Pakistan Reel In Colossal Whale Shark, By Meera Dolasia on 02/08/2012. This article is about Some lucky fishermen in Karachi, Pakistan were fortunate enough to be part of what is probably considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in their profession - Reeling in a 40 foot long whale shark. It had been spotted floating around unconscious in the Arabian Sea about 90 miles off the coast of Karachi for almost ten days, before it finally washed ashore. It took three cranes to get the 8-ton behemoth out of the water. WOW rite!?!?!?! The auction for this rare creature that is coveted for its meat, oil and fins. After some vigorous bidding, the whale shark was finally sold for just 1.7 million Pakistani Rupees or about 18,800 that a lot of money for a shark. Now the reason I picked this article was because I thought the front cover was really cool, because I love sharks like that. Also the reason I picked this article was because I LOVe fishing and I thought this would be a good topic for me to read. That’s the reasons I picked this article. HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT. :) :) :)

This week I chose to review Diver Saves Orca Whale from ‘Dolphin Tale ‘ Like Disaster by Meera Dolasia. The reason I really chose this article was because I watched Dolphin Tale, and I loved it. But, after I chose it and read it, I saw that it was like the movie, but that’s not it, it’s very touching, I guess, to know that some people care that much. It kind of makes you feel good inside.

The article I am summarizing is Austrian Skydiver Gets Ready for the Ultimate Plunge. The author is Meera Dolasia. The main idea in the article is in August 2012, Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner will attempt a feat that has never been done before - freefall off a specially made capsule from the edge of space - 120,000 feet (23 miles) above earth or about three times the altitude that normal airplanes fly at.

The article I'm reviewing is "NYC's Fashion's Night Out Features Some Sweet Shoes - YUM!" By June Liu. I chose this article because I thought that if you can eat your own shoes then that is some pretty weird stuff! This creation was sold at (believe it or not) Dylans Candy Bar! The Owner is the daughter of a very famous fashion designer (Ralph Lauren). Dylan Lauren Callenged the students at Rhode Island School of Design and Savannah College of Art and Design to make evening gown entirely made out of candy!

My article is by Meera Dolasia. The name of my article is called Why Ultra Clean Water Is Harmful To Your Health. Well every one thinks that cleaner water is way better the dirty water is, but what they don't know is that when they go and filter the water it takes out all of the minerals that we need. But we need some of the things that are taken out of the water. The water that they clean is used to clean electronic chips used in devices like computers and smart phones could actually be harmful for the human body. And even if you do, there is little danger that you will be downing gallons of it. That's because it is flat, heavy and quite bitter in taste Most people would think that it would be better to have cleaner water then dirty water but if you would do some research then you would see that you might not drink Ultra clean water again. I picked this article because I wanted to see why ultra clean water is bad for our health.

According to scientists, the archipelago of 700 islands and 2,400 islets & cays that constitute The Bahamas, are very unique. They are formed entirely in shallow waters from layers of sediment that compressed atop each other and they turn to limestone. When sea levels were lower, water from the rain eroded the limestone rocks, turning them into huge underwater cave systems. They are known as the 'Blue Holes', because of the contrast between the deep dark waters in the middle and the light blue color on the sides, they are not only amazingly beautiful, but also, contain a treasure trove of information about extinct animals.
