CAIHERANG ? It’s my class,,, my soul and my world

by Vernida Mufidah

I am science student in XI science 1 in Bandung 24 high school. Name of my class is CAIHERANG. What is the meaning “Community of ipA hijI HEboh, RAme, Narsis and Gokil”, the name draws our self, so many different people here. There are 47 students and it makes my class so colorful.

And now we will meet or mother of class that is . . . Mrs. Imas!! Hore….

Beside her, there are a student who loves green color,, can you guess her ? Hmmm,,, think it!

Hey, what are we doing now ?

We are in the green house because it is time for environmental education.

So busy and busy. . . But we always together to make our school to be comfort, fresh and clean especially in green house.

Hey, look this!!! Who is he ? A boy is sleeping when science practice.

Huh, so lazy ! heheheh… just kidding!

And then they who are holding A and 1 are nanee and Icha. It means A for IPA or science and 1 for one.

SCIENCE ONE!!! hip,, hip ,,, hore!!!

Hey, and how about this ? A diligent student who is studying is Dinar. In CAIHERANG, many diligent and smart students are here.

So, I must always study and study to get good mark, because hard competition here. huhuhuhuhu!!!

It is us when we go to Alun-alun and do ceremony here. So hot make us so “kucel” hahahah!!! There are Eka, Leea, Maly, Nanee, riri, and kampai or kanatang!

Upz, how about back ? There is a boy, , ,

ohhh,,, He is DIcky!

Okay, it is only little descriptive who we are. .

We are science student

We hate science subject,

We love dispensation,

We are together forever to be CAIHERANG!

My Inspirational Place

by Vernida Mufidah

I have a place that has good environment. That place is my favourite place for retire into solitude. It isn't popular because it is on my region that is at Cilengkrang 1, district society 5. Dou you want to know ? Ok, I will invite you to go there!

First, there is a triumphial arch which written "Welcome to bear fruit plant area". When we enter that area, so we will see many trees which in a row on that street. Many trees are at distance of three meters until to Pasanggrahan Indah gate. It is free from rubish, so clean, so fresh and you will get your briliant inspiration at there. And many trees are so various, there are mango trees, pomegranate trees and other trees at there. It is something which we rarely find in our city.

Beside that, there is a traditional stall. It sells traditional drink that is "bandrek" and other traditional food. If I am sad, I will spend time at there while write poetry. I sometime walk in the rain, and I will be better.

Ok, back to the place! It is initiative from Mr. H. Sali Iskandar. He and other people make it. That place is needed for penetration area in my region. It is so needed because we get water hard. So, may be with penetration area can help us. Beside that we can eat fruit from there.

Do you like it ? Try to go there! Because if I go to there, I will get inspiration like my inspiration about this writting. Or do you want to make bear fruit plant area in your region ? Wow, that is good! But remember do it because Allah SWT and Muhammad, so your plan is noble.

The Guessing Game: How Dinosaurs Went Extinct

In the early nineteen hundreds, dinosaur fossils were discovered and recognized around the globe. Greedy scientists and civilians, searching for their own prize skeleton, rushed to rip bones out of the ground, destroying the fossils as they went. It was not until later in the century that scientists and paleontologists began pondering how such widespread creatures disappeared. Currently, paleontologists debate the two main hypotheses of how the classic dinosaurs died: from volcanic activity or an asteroid impact. Although they result in the same outcome, the volcanic and asteroid hypotheses differ in key elements: the actual event, the environment's stress, and the impact on life.

Physical evidence left behind in each scenario supports each possible explanation for the massive extinction responsible for wiping out the dinosaurs. Scientists that support the volcanic activity hypothesis believe the massive volcanic activity lasted approximately 500,000 years eventually ending dinosaurs reign on earth. The lava flows filled over 480,000 cubic miles, devastating areas over the entire globe. For example, The Decan Trap, a famous site of Cretaceous tectonic activity, is up to 8,000 feet deep, and it averaged between thirty-three and 164 feet deep. Fires raged across the lands. Those that believe in the asteroid impact, on the other hand, project a six mile wide meteorite moved at speeds from 50,000 mph to 150,000 mph and busted into Earth's atmosphere at the end of the Cretaceous Period. The sudden impact near the present day Yucatan Peninsula ejected 5,000 cubic miles of debris into the atmosphere and created an earthquake of magnitude thirteen sending tidal waves, 250 to 300 feet high, around the world. The crater that decimated 50 to 60 miles of earth 13 to 25 miles deep. Supporters of the asteroid hypothesis, in addition to volcanic hypothesizers, believe lands were incinerated by temperatures over a few thousand degrees.

As scientists further uncovered evidence supporting the viability of the two theories, they proposed effects on the environment of the life shattering event. Volcanic theorists believe the atmosphere slowly filled with dust, ash, and toxic fumes. This thickening pollution produced acid rain that killed plant life. These hypothesists believe the lack of sun caused an ice age that in turn lowered water levels. Since the lower water level created less tropical climates, temperatures everywhere became more diversified and harsher climates came into effect. Supporters of the asteroid hypothesis likewise believe a immense cloud of dust blanketed the globe; consequently, no sunlight hit the ground. The dust covered the sky for months. Since no light warmed the earth for months, temperatures dropped below freezing for between one and six months. Asteroid theorists also believe the lack of sun killed plant life; however, instead of acid rain, these scientists believe the freezing temperatures killed vegetation. Nevertheless, supporters of both theories believe the environment's depletion and the climate's changes around the world are responsible for terminating the dinosaurs.

While the environment worsened, life on Earth started to vanish. The volcanic hypothesizers believe the number of species began dwindling down over period of at least a million years. The volcanic activity's pollution only covered parts of the sky since eruptions did not take place continuously around the world. As plants began dying, herbivorous animals thinned in population. Conditions failed to improve since acid rain contaminated waters and temperatures moved to the extremes. The combined changes, according to supporters of the volcanic hypothesis, eventually lead to death of dinosaurs and other organisms alike. Conversely, paleontologists backing the asteroid hypothesis guess the massive blast killed nearby animals instantaneously. Creatures on the opposite side of the world, however, were not so lucky. They were forced to dwell in freezing temperatures until vegetation withered. Herbivores quickly starved to death; consequently, carnivores lacked prey. Instead of gradually dying off, dinosaurs perished within one generation. Although the two hypotheses of the great extinction come from opposite occurrences, in the end the event proved fatal.

While paleontologists may never agree on the true cause of dinosaurs' extinction, many people are now speculating mankind's termination. Will mother nature be responsible for our destruction also? Only time will tell. Perhaps in the far future, another species will encounter human remains and search for our match maker.
