Hello!
Welcome back to Josh R News. Todays news update: A man who jumped of a plane from over 25 000 and lived.
I'll hand it over to Joshua.

Thanks Joshua.
Now to the topic. On July 30th 2016 a 43-year-old man by the name of  Luke Aikins became the first man ever to jump of a plane at an altitude of 25 000 feet off the ground without a parachute or wing-suit. The only thing stopping him from hitting the ground and certain death was a 100-by 100 foot net suspended by 4 200 foot tall cranes. On his perilous jounce down Luke would have to use his experience combined with riding the air currents to get him to his desired location. He also had the help of sensors that beeped every time he went off course.

What made his 'safe' landing possible was the net that was made with high density polyethylene cord which is 2 times stronger than steel yet can stretch to max proportions. It was then given the nick-name, the Fly Trap. Upon landing Luke Aikins changes his positions to facing up at the sky instead of down. This allowed him to bend as much as he needed without a risk of  back injury.

This was definitely a dangerous stunt.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

That's it for now. I'll hand it over to Joshua.

Thanks Joshua

Olympic games

Hey guys!
Right now the Olympics are going on so on that topic today I'll be talking about an Olympic event I've watched this week.

The event I chose was men's under 56kg weight lifting. What i liked about this event so much is seeing how strong the men that competed were. What was amazing was that some of the weights that people lifted were up to 5 times the lifters weight.

I thing that a have a pretty good understanding about this even because I feel that it has fairly basic rules. All you have to do is stay in the marked area, lift the weight with fully extended arms for a few seconds then try to lift the heaviest weight in the end.

The top 2 weight lifters had really close scores while the one in 3rd place trailed about 20 kgs behind.
This is what the top podium scores looked like:
1st-long QingQuan- China
2nd-Om Yun Chol- PRK ( Peoples Republic of Korea)
3rd-Sinphet Kruaithong- Thailand

Thank for reading guys!
That's it for now!

Reading groups

Hello people of the world todays blog post will be about my reading group so far.
The book I was chosen to read was called 'The Silver Sword' and so far it has been really good. Everyone has been contributing well.
One think I can do to help with my group is to stop them from being silly and contribute more of my ideas.
That's all for now folks. Bye!
