1. The Woman Who has 200 Orgasms every day
UK’s Sarah Carmen, 24, is a 200-a-day orgasm girl who gets good, good, GOOD vibrations from almost anything. She suffers from Permanent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS), which increases blood flow to the sex organs. “Sometimes I have so much sex to try to calm myself down I get bored of it. And men I sleep with don’t seem to make as much effort because I climax so easily.”
She believes her condition was brought on by the pills. “Within a few weeks I just began to get more and more aroused more and more of the time and I just kept having endless orgasms. It started off in bed where sex sessions would last for hours and my boyfriend would be stunned at how many times I would orgasm. Then it would happen after sex. I’d be thinking about what we’d done in bed and I’d start feeling a bit flushed, then I’d become aroused and climax. In six months I was having 150 orgasms a day and it has been as many as 200.”
She and her boyfriend splitted and new partners struggle to keep up with her sex demands. “Often, I’ll want to wear myself out by having as many orgasms as I can so they stop and I can get some peace,” she said.

2. The Man Who Can’t Get Fat
Mr Perry, 59, can eat whatever he likes - including unlimited pies, burgers and desserts - and never get fat. He cannot put on weight because of a condition called lipodystrophy that makes his body rapidly burn fat.
He used to be a chubby child, but at age 12 the fat dropped off “almost over night”. He initially tried to eat more to gain weight, but it had no effect. Mr Perry, of Ilford in Essex, endured a decade of tests before the illness was diagnosed. It finally emerged that his body produces six times the normal level of insulin. Doctors have admitted that the condition would be a “slimmer’s dream”.
3. The Man Who Doesn’t Feel Cold
Dutchman Wim Hof, also known as the Iceman, is the man that swam under ice, and stood in bins filled with ice. He climbed the Mt. Blanc in shorts in the icy cold, harvested world records and always stands for new challenges.
Scientists can’t really explain it, but the 48-year-old Dutchman is able to withstand, and even thrive, in temperatures that could be fatal to the average person.
4. The Boy Who Couldn’t Sleep: stayed awake 24 hours a day for years
Rhett Lamb is often cranky like any other 3-year-old toddler, but there’s one thing that makes him completely different: he has a rare medical condition in which he can’t sleep a wink.
Rhett is awake nearly 24 hours a day, and his condition has baffled his parents and doctors for years. They took clock shifts watching his every sleep-deprived mood to determine what ailed the young boy.
After a number of conflicting opinions, Shannon and David Lamb finally learned what was wrong with their child: Doctors diagnosed Rhett with an extremely rare condition called chiari malformation.
“The brain literally is squeezed into the spinal column. What happens is you get compression, squeezing, strangulating of the brain stem, which has all the vital functions that control sleep, speech, our cranial nerves, our circulatory system, even our breathing system,” Savard said.
5. The Girl Who is Allergic to Water
Teenager Ashleigh Morris can’t go swimming, soak in a hot bath or enjoy a shower after a stressful day’s work - she’s allergic to water. Even sweating brings the 19-year-old out in a painful rash.
Ashleigh, from Melbourne, Australia, is allergic to water of any temperature, a condition she’s lived with since she was 14. She suffers from an extremely rare skin disorder called Aquagenic Urticaria - so unusual that only a handful of cases are documented worldwide.
6. The Woman Who Can’t Forget [Identity confidential]
That’s the story of AJ, an extraordinary 40-year-old married woman who remembers everything.
McGaugh and fellow UCI researchers Larry Cahill and Elizabeth Parker have been studying the extraordinary case of a person who has “nonstop, uncontrollable and automatic” memory of her personal history and countless public events. If you randomly pick a date from the past 25 years and ask her about it, she’ll usually provide elaborate, verifiable details about what happened to her that day and if there were any significant news events on topics that interested her. She usually also recalls what day of the week it was and what the weather was like.
The 40-year-old woman, who was given the code name AJ to protect her privacy, is so unusual that UCI coined a name for her condition in a recent issue of the journal Neurocase: hyperthymestic syndrome.
7. The Girl Who Eats Only Tic Tacs
Natalie Cooper, a 17-year-old teenager who has a mystery illness that makes her sick every time she eats anything. Well, almost anything. She can eat one thing that doesn’t make her sick: Tic tac mint!
For reasons that doctors are unable to explain, Tic tacs are the only thing she can stomach, meaning she has to get the rest of her sustenance from a specially formulated feed through a tube.
8. The Musician Who Can’t Stop Hiccupping
Chris Sands, 24, from Lincoln, hiccups as often as every two seconds - and sometimes even when he is asleep. He has tried a variety of cures, including hypnosis and yoga, but nothing has worked. Mr Sands thinks his problem stems from an acid reflux condition caused by a damaged valve in his stomach. “If the acid levels are severe enough they are going to do keyhole surgery and grab part of my stomach and wrap it around the valve to tighten it,” he said.
Mr Sands, who is a backing singer in the group Ebullient, said the condition has hampered his career as he has only been able to perform four times. In the next couple of weeks - as of the day of the report, doctors at Nottingham’s Queen’s Medical Centre will put a tube into his stomach to monitor acid levels and decide if keyhole surgery is possible.
9. The Girl That Collapses Every Time She Laughs
Kay Underwood, 20, has cataplexy, which means that almost any sort of strong emotion triggers a dramatic weakening of her muscles. Exhilaration, anger, fear, surprise, awe and even embarrassment can also cause sufferers to suddenly collapse on the spot.
Kay, of Barrow-upon- Soar, Leicestershire (UK), who was diagnosed with the condition five years ago, once collapsed more than 40 times in a single day. She said: “People find it very odd when it happens, and it isn’t always easy to cope with strangers’ reactions.”
Like most cataplexy sufferers, Ms Underwood is also battling narcolepsy - a condition that makes her drop off to sleep without warning. Narcolepsy affects around 30,000 people in the UK and about 70 per cent of them also have cataplexy.
10. The Woman Who is Allergic to Modern Technology
For most people talking on a mobile phone, cooking dinner in the microwave or driving in a car is simply part of modern living in 21st century Britain. But completing any such tasks is impossible for Debbie Bird - because she is allergic to Cell Phones and Microwaves.
The 39 year old is so sensitive to the electromagnetic field (EMF) or ‘smog’ created by computers, mobile phones, microwave ovens and even some cars, that she develops a painful skin rash and her eyelids swell to three times their size if she goes near them. As a consequence, Mrs Bird, a health spa manager, has transformed her home into an EMF-free zone to try and stay healthy. ‘I can no longer do things that I used to take for granted,’ Mrs Bird said. “My day-to-day life has been seriously affected by EMF”.

Hanya dengan menyiraminya setiap hari, energi yang didapatkan akan terus menerus. Murah dan tidak menghasilkan emisi gas rumah kaca.
Sel surya film tipis menggunakan beberapa lapis bahan semikonduktor dengan ketebalan dalam skala mikrometer. Teknologi tersebut memungkinkan untuk membuat sel surya yang diintegrasikan dengan atap rumah hingga skylight. Bahkan sel surya untuk aplikasi tersebut didesain mempunyai kekuatan yang sama dengan atap rumah sebenarnya.
Beberapa sel surya juga didesain untuk bekerja dengan sinar matahari yang difokuskan (concentrated sunlight). Sel-sel surya tersebut diintegrasikan ke dalam kolektor sinar matahari yang biasanya menggunakan lensa untuk memfokuskannya ke atas sel surya. Ada beberapa keuntungan dan kerugian dengan menggunakan teknik ini jika dibandingkan dengan panel surya pelat datar. Tujuan utamanya adalah menggunakan sesedikit mungkin bahan semikonduktor yang mahal sembari meningkatkan efisiensinya dengan lebih banyak melipatgandakan energi matahari yang mengenai permukaan sel. Tetapi karena lensa harus diarahkan ke matahari, penggunaan kolektor menjadi dibatasi oleh lokasi atau wilayah yang paling banyak mendapatkan sinar matahari. Hampir sama dengan panel surya pelat datar, teknologi ini juga bisa dipasang di atas perangkat penjejak matahari yang sederhana, tetapi sebagian besar menggunakan perangkat yang canggih. Akibatnya, pemakaian teknologi sel surya ini masih terbatas pada perusahaan listrik, industri dan bangunan-bangunan besar.
Cairan panas tersebut kemudian menuju ke tangki penyimpan yang biasanya berukuran lebih besar dan terisolasi secara termal lebih baik dibandingkan tangki penyimpan pemanas air biasa. Sistem yang menggunakan cairan bukan dari air, biasanya menggunakan cairan tersebut untuk memanaskan air melalui pipa-pipa yang dibentuk seperti lilitan di dalam tangki tersebut.
Sistem dish/engine menggunakan piringan cermin untuk mengumpulkan sinar matahari pada sebuah penerima yang berfungsi untuk menerima sinar matahari dan memindahkan panasnya ke cairan yang berada di dalam mesin. Panas yang terjadi mengakibatkan cairan di dalam mengembang dan menekan piston atau turbin dan menghasilkan energi mekanis. Energi mekanis tersebut kemudian digunakan untuk memutar generator ataupun alternator untuk menghasilkan listrik.
Di tengah krisis bahan bakar minyak seperti in, pernakah anda berfikir mengapa sepeda motor itu harus diisi bensin segala, kenaa tidak diisi air saja? kan murah. Bukan shirogadget namanya jika kami tidak memberikan informasi teknologi baru. Anda kenal
