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.

I found an image of what I would like my LED sign to look like. 


Holden V8 Supercars - Acrylic LED Sign | eBay

I would like it to look like this because I'm making it for my Dad and his favorite cars are Holdens.

I would like it to be clear acrylic plastic. I would like It how the image shows. I would want red LEDs. I would like how the image above looks. The shape of it will be a square. The LEDs I'm using will have 4.5V (Volts/Voltage)

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.
