Today it was boring, but I didn't like it either. I learned about sea turtles, how people grow Crystal, how your brain reacts when you're going to the grocery store, and how the bran talks to it self. Basically, about one in 1000 turtles actually make it up to the surface, and then one and 10 of those turtles survive and actually laying more eggs, so the turtles have to lay a lot of eggs. Secondly what happens is the part of your brain that makes the right decisions in the smart choices first leads when you're making grocery shopping choices, but then later in the part of your brain that makes the choices on if we should go to the waterpark or the theme park basically, and also when you're shopping you might accidentally grab like a candy bar without even thinking about it. Lastly I learned how people have autism by having a part of the brain that actually functions rather than the rest of us.

Mission unstoppable

Today it was a quick episode of mission unstoppable. I learned about animal bones, the brain, a prank to pull on your friends and how, and how an ancient civilization made better replacement bones than we do now. Animal bones, I learned how to distinguish how a animal died. You can tell by the markings on the bone, if it was a strait line or a shattered part, it was most likely a hunter with a bow. But if it was a little indent it was a animal. Secondly i learned about how the brain reacts to pain. What happens is the nervous system tells the brain what to do and how to act. I also learned if you were to pick a number between 1-10 then multiple it by 9, then ad the two numbers you get 9. Lastly i leaned how people used to put broken shards of seeshell in their mouth to replace teeth.

Stream curious Mission unstoppable

Today i watched Mission unstoppable, I learned about music, carbon dioxide ice cream, mars walking, and DIY lava. In the music part I learned that some music is based about math, the rhythm of the beat all about math, but the way that a person fixes all the mistakes that someone makes like voice cracks or if they were off note. The second thing I learned was that someone made it so they could make ice cream in 90 seconds. How they did that was they used carbon dioxide and the right ratio of ice cream to make it in about 90 seconds. Thirdly I learned about why people investigate mars. The reason people investigate mars is really simple, they want to know if there were any inhabitants on mars. Lastly I learned how to make DIY lava. I'm not going to tell you how, but I will tell you what is happening. Basically the oil is like to be on its own, but when you put the acid into water it acts up and you made DIY lava.

This court case was different for everyone, because usually you would talk to the judge, but today the lawyer got to plead to the Juries. Jame's lawyer said that bobo was just pointing fingers and the other person was just in shock and they should say not guilty. Then it was O'Brians turn, she said that the only Evidence was the word of a Criminal and other evidence says that he is innocent. Then it was the Petrocelli turn and all she said was all the evidence that they all collected.

Petrocelli asked questions like, when was the last time you saw him, do you know him or like him. Then it was James Kings lawyers turn and she ask somewhat of the same questions. Lastly it was Ms. O'Brians turn and she asked questions that made it look like James and Steve look different in the eyes of the court. When Moore stepped down Nipping got on stand, they asked him if he ever seen James use his right hand or if he ever shot anyone. The next day Steve and James were on stand.

Monster page 80-100

 As Steve was daydreaming about his old neighborhood, he thought about how horrible it was, homeless people had made cardboard homes on top of roofs, people got shot. So when he came back to reality, he was in his cell. He day dreamed of the time he was getting arrested, he was with his mother in the kitchen putting away groceries, then two detectives came and took Steve away. The next day Steve's lawyer was mad, she made Steve look bad, and that day was only going to be a half day. In the courtroom the detective was on the stand and said exactly what she did, step by step. When he got to his cell and chatted with his lawyer, he didn’t want her to leave, but in the end she did. As he was pondering his thoughts he thought that everyone in there was either thinking about getting hurt, hurting someone, sex, and how they got in.

When he was done crying them kept talking about the case and trying to lighted the penlety when they were done they went to the courthouse and settled in. When it started a policeman was on the stand this time but nothing really happened. It kept going on, they even brought a person that had robbed a different drugstore, but that was it.

S.S Spain loses it’s empire

Spain loses it empire
The Spain and French were growing technical advisements and with conflict. A man named Napoleon who was French had conquered most of Spain and made laws that unraveled and made it so the church wasn't as important. One of the reason he did that was because it rattle the foundation of spain. Secondly he dictated how Spain was and how to act. The Spaniard didn't like that, they knew that they were romantics and loved their culture. Napoleon didn't know that the Spanish was rising up and getting ready to attack. But when Napoleon was trying to conquer the rest of Europe, Spain saw a good time to raise up and fight France. The battle took many years, the Spaniards even asked the British to help, and made defenses that made so that pirates couldn't interfere. But when Spain won the French agreed on a treaty. The treaty was that the French and Spain would leave each other alone if the French would give them back a king they took hostage before the war.

Monster 40 to 60

In the cell they take away mostly all your stuff so you can't kill yourselves. While Steve was in his cell pondering around in his thoughts when he thought that he was never involved in the case. The lawyer and the judge are the ones, not him. He also remembered how Ms. O'Brian said that Petrocelli was trying to get criminals and trying to get the judge to compare him with the criminals. When he got to the courtroom a detective was on the stand. Petrocelli asked the detective about the scene and she gave them pictures of the crime scene. When that was done the Petrocelli started asking questions and making it seem like the people that were on stand were not being totally honest.

S.S urban kings of Spain

The Spanish and British made treaty, the treaty was that the British Took a great amount of their ports, land, and other valuable assets in which it made Spain small again. There were multiple different tribes, and none of them thought of themselves as Spaniards. The king at that time thought that he needed to unite Spain at that time and he thought the only way was through brutal force, it worked but the tribes were not happy about it. When he finally united Spain he past it down to his air. His hair was glum sometimes and only one artist could cheer up the king even though the king, the queen, and his son and daughter-in-law were all artists as well. With artists came new ideas in which came schools, hospitals, and other benefactors that helped the economy.

They brought in someone named Jose, Jose was one of the drugstore workers and he was off shift. When he returned from his shift he saw that his co-worker was dead on the floor and five cigarette cartons were missing. When Jose was stepping down, Petrocelli called in another person called Zinzi. Petrocelli asked Zinzi many questions and he basically said that he was buying stolen baseball cards and two packs of cigarettes, and how someone named Bolden was the one that sold them. Zinzi also said that he called a detective and told him what he knew about the robbery to get a break. But while Zinzi was on the stand Steve had a flashback for no reason. The flashback was about how he was walking with his friend when he was 12 years old. When the trial was over for that day and he was in his cot, he talked about how he hated being in his cell and if he didn't have the movie he would go crazy. The next Bolden was on the stand, Petrocelli asked how was the one who robbed the store and Bolden said Bobo Evans. Then he had another flashback on when Steve and James King were on some steps on a street and how they were talking about how the government was taking money so you could never get money. They also talked about how the only way to get money was from restaurants and drugstores.

16 year old Steve Harmon is in jail, for murder. He was so lonely and scared that he thought of making a movie, a movie of what his prosecutor called him, Monster. In the courtroom his lawyer, Ms. O'Brian was telling him to basically sit straight and take it seriously, so the judge knows that he is taking it seriously. When the judge got to his seat he checked to see if everyone was ready and said "all rise". As the jurors started to take their seats, Steve said something about the Jurors to O'Brian and she replied with " that's all we got". From the doors a woman entered the room and said, that she was a district attorney for New York, how we are people in this country and we make mistakes, but then ended by saying that James king, a person that entered the drugstore and had shot the clerk. When she was done Ms. O'Brian looked at a notebook that Steve was writing in about the movie and crossed out all the "monsters" and said that the only way to win is to believe in yourself. As the Trial went on the district attorney said that a medical examiner will testify. They even talk about how Steve is innocent, and not how James KIng is guilty.
