The Balance System

Hello, today's blog post is about what you can do to help your balance and why you feel dizzy after spinning really fast.

What is the human balance system? The body's balance system works through a constant process of position detection, feedback and adjustment using communication between the inner ear, eyes, muscles, joints and the brain. Deep inside the ear, positioned just under the brain, is the inner ear.

What are some techniques you can do to improve your balance? Stand on one leg, Stand with your eyes closed and Stand on one leg while your head swings side to side.

Why do people feel dizzy after spinning? If you spin around really fast, the fluid in your ear moves really fast too. This is what happens when you first start to feel dizzy. When you stop spinning, your head stops moving but the fluid in your ear keeps spinning. This is what makes you feel dizzy again.

This is the end of my blog post hope this helps to get your balance better and learned about why you feel dizzy when you spin really fast, Bye.

The Bombing Of The Rainbow Warrior:

In 1985, French secret service agents were sent to plant two bombs on our flagship. The Rainbow Warrior was ahead of its journey leading a peaceful anti-nuclear protest. The sinking of Rainbow Warrior, codenamed Opération Satanique, was a bombing operation by the "action" branch of the French foreign intelligence services, the Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure, carried out on 10 July 1985.

The evening of 10 July saw a lively atmosphere aboard the Rainbow Warrior as the crew and guests celebrated Steve Sawyer’s birthday. Margaret Mills, another crew member, had baked a birthday cake decorated with a jelly bean rainbow. People mingled and enjoyed drinks and slices of cake. Little did they know that one of the guests was a French spy, observing all that was taking place to feed back to his colleagues. The spy departed just after 8pm, and at about 8.15pm, the skippers of all the protest yachts going to Mururoa descended into the hold of the Rainbow Warrior for a planning meeting. Outside, French combat divers were attaching two bombs to the ship’s hull below the water line. The divers had motored across the harbour in an inflatable zodiac dinghy from a secluded launching ramp at Stanley Point, Devonport.

After planting the bombs, the pair escaped by swimming west towards the Auckland Harbour Bridge to be picked up. The pilot of the zodiac motored towards Mechanics Bay to be picked up by a campervan.

Close to midnight, with their guests gone, the Rainbow Warrior’s skipper Peter Willcox and some of the crew went off to bed. The remainder sat around the mess room table, chatting and enjoying the last bottles of beer.

How to win at badminton

 Hello Everyone, Today's blog post is about how to win a game of badminton.

In order to win a game of badminton you have to score 21 points, but if you both have 20 points then you have to get 22 points to win the game so you have to be 2 points ahead of the opponents to win the game.

in order to get a point you have to hit it over the net and it has to hit the ground but if you don't hit the ground and the opponents hit it then you don't get the point. another way to get a point is for the other team to get it out of the area you are playing in, you can also get a point if the other them doesn't make it over the net at least twice.

The effect of drugs on the mind & body

Hello people, today's blog post is about the effect of drugs on the mind and body, Surprise at the end.

Marijuana, weed, pot, dope, grass. They’re different names for the same drug that comes from the cannabis plant. You can smoke it, vape it, drink it, or eat it. Most folks use marijuana for pleasure and recreation. Regardless of the number of people living in a dwelling, no more than 12 plants can be grown per residence. The plants must also be grown and stored safely in an enclosed area, which only authorized adults can access. Individuals will be allowed to carry only 14-grams of dried cannabis in a public space. The 14-gram rule applies to the amount of cannabis an individual is allowed to purchase in a day. 

Who is involved…

A Lot of people smoke Cannabis and a lot of them are 16 and older. According to the United Nations, 158.8 million people around the world use marijuana which is more than 3.8% of the planet's population.

What are the laws and penalties?

The maximum penalty for possession of cannabis is imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or a $500 fine.

What are the positive and negative outcomes?

A positive of smoking Cannabis is that Cannabis contains Cannabidiol (CBD) which is a chemical that impacts the brain, making it function better.

Another positive

The main psychoactive ingredient, THC, stimulates the part of your brain that responds to pleasure, like food. That unleashes a chemical called dopamine, which gives you a euphoric, relaxed feeling.

A negative effect 

If you vape or smoke weed, the THC could get into your bloodstream quickly enough for you to get your high in seconds or minutes. The THC level usually peaks in about 30 minutes, and its effects may wear off in 1-3 hours. If you drink or eat pot, it may take many hours for you to fully sober up.

The thing that influences people to do drugs is their friends, family members, and other people they know.

3 Strategies to get of it:

One: Going cold turkey basically what you do is lock yourself away and game or sleep but make sure you can't get out but people can get in so you can still eat and go to the bathroom.

Two: Slowly stop smoking as much as you normally would.

Three: Go to rehab

Term 2 Reflection

Hello, today I am talking about my term 2 reflection.

My highlights from term 2. One of my highlights is making the bullet train in the S.T.E.A.M projects the only downside is that we weren't able to make it move because there wasn't enough time and because we just weren't allowed, it would have been cool to be able to make it move.

The challenge was making the bullet train because we didn't know how to start off but I was away sick and my group/Jayden starting gluing cardboard together and it turned out great, I did help out with the rest of the bullet train.

My option subjects were Metalwork, Woodwork, and Art. In Metalwork, I learned how to make a dog tag, In Woodwork, I learned how to make a trey, In Art, I learned how to shade different things in.

Hope you enjoyed reading this blog post you probably didn't even read it but a teacher might have, Bye.

Term 1 Reflection

 Hi bloggers, 

Today's blog post is about my term 1 reflection.

In term 1 my highlight was probably just hanging out with friends. My favorite subject was woodwork because we made some cool things in there like, my least favorite subject was probably metalwork because we didn't do anything with metal because it started turning into a digital tech. the hardest thing was getting used to going to sleep early and getting up early in the morning. Things I want to do in term 2 is to get better at painting/drawing because I'm not too good at it.

Hope you enjoyed this short little blog post, Goodbye.
