Deepest River in The World


After watching a documentary by national geographic, I learned that the deepest river is the Congo river found in the southwestern part of africa. It's deepest part reached 755ft(230m) and as deep as the trenches found in the oceans. This is remarkbly deep for a river, there were new species discovered here. Because of strong currents dividing some parts of it, some species are genetically distinct from other fish on the other side. There are over 300 species living in the congo river. One of the new species discovered here is the perciform fish(lamprologus lethops). see national geographic

Piano improves reading skills



ScienceDaily (Mar. 16, 2009) — Children exposed to a multi-year programme of music tuition involving training in increasingly complex rhythmic, tonal, and practical skills display superior cognitive performance in reading skills compared with their non-musically trained peers, according to a study published in the journal Psychology of Music. In my own experience since I started studying it at the age of 7, playing the piano helped me a lot especially in my reading skills. I'm not easily confused when I'm reading books with tons of words. It  helped  me learn to love reading books not only music books. It also improved  my non-musical abilities(eg, linguistic, mathematical, and spatial).
