Deep Sea Amoebas

This article was very interesting because it told you how scientist study under sea life.

What is the Mariana Trench?  Where is it located?-  The Mariana is the deepest region on Earth. It is located in the Pacific Ocean. 

What are xenophyophores? Xenophyophores are single-celled animals exclusively found in deep-sea environments.

How are the researchers able to capture such great images on the deep water camera? Researchers are able to capture great images on the deep water camera by luring sea floor animals to the camera with bait then recording with with drop cameras.

My road, my path, my journey.

My road is occasionally littered with construction. For the most part it is smooth and easy to travel, but there are times where it gets a little messy. My close friends & family are traveling this road with me, & make my journey much more happy & bearable. I don't have a specific, set destination yet in my life. Although overall, I would just like to be happy. At the end of my road, hopefully I will have my own home, family, be a psychologist, open up my own bakery, & write a book. Some roadblocks that may try to stop me are me doubting myself, money for collage, or me not trying hard enough. I can over come these roadblocks by saving up my money and getting scholarships, thinking positive, and trying my hardest.    

Forgiving, but not forgetting .

We've all had other hurt us in our lives. Whether is was something they said to us, about us, or something they did to us. The pain is normal to feel, but we can't let it affect our lives forever. If someone has done you wrong, you shouldn't waste your time dwelling on it & being upset over it, they should. To move on from a bad experience with a person you must forgive them. Sometimes we feel like people aren't  deserving of our forgiveness when really forgiving them is more beneficial to us then it is to the one that hurt us.  Just because you're forgiving someone doesn't mean you have to let that person back into your life. Forgiving someone is more about coming to peace with yourself about what happened. It's saying to yourself "What this person did to me is wrong, but its over now, I'm done worry about it. I'm going to learn & grow from this & move on." Once you do this, you can finally be happy with yourself & your life.

Thought for the day: Life Law 6

I think the lens was very relevant to me. I often use the "The Authority Lens" "The Victim Lens" "The Hate Lens" & "The Safety Lens" I also think that I can be very close minded & let the tapes influence my thoughts to the point where I don't give people a chance anymore. I think other people do that too. You are so quick to judge people based off your past experiences in life, that you never give people a chance, & you end up shutting people out or pushing them away. But you do have the power to change all those things. You just have to change your perceptions on life.

Key Protein In Cellular Respiration Discovered

This article was over cellular respiration. It talked about what happens during it, & why is happens. It also talked about how it can be used & how scientist study it.


mitochondria- an organelle in the cytoplasm of cells that functions in energy production.
 
cellular respiration- is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in organisms' cells to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.

protein- any of numerous, highly varied organic molecules constituting a large portion of the mass of every life form and necessary in the diet of all animals and other nonphotosynthesizing organisms 

Thought for the day

Life Law Chapter 5:

Something I liked in this chapter was when it talked about telling the people you love how much they mean to you while you still can. I always try to tell people how much they mean to me because you never know how much time you have left. I'm also very quick to apologize about things because you never know, that mean comment you just made may be the last thing you ever say to that person.

A child said, what is the grass?

  A child said, What is the grass? fetching it to me with full
hands;
How could I answer the child?. . . .I do not know what it
is any more than he.

I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful
green stuff woven.

Or I guess it is the handkerchief of the Lord,
A scented gift and remembrancer designedly dropped,
Bearing the owner's name someway in the corners, that we
may see and remark, and say Whose?

Or I guess the grass is itself a child. . . .the produced babe
of the vegetation.

Or I guess it is a uniform hieroglyphic,
And it means, Sprouting alike in broad zones and narrow
zones,
Growing among black folks as among white,
Kanuck, Tuckahoe, Congressman, Cuff, I give them the
same, I receive them the same.

And now it seems to me the beautiful uncut hair of graves.

Tenderly will I use you curling grass,
It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men,
It may be if I had known them I would have loved them;
It may be you are from old people and from women, and
from offspring taken soon out of their mother's laps,
And here you are the mother's laps.

This grass is very dark to be from the white heads of old
mothers,
Darker than the colorless beards of old men,
Dark to come from under the faint red roofs of mouths.

O I perceive after all so many uttering tongues!
And I perceive they do not come from the roofs of mouths
for nothing.

I wish I could translate the hints about the dead young men
and women,
And the hints about old men and mothers, and the offspring
taken soon out of their laps.

What do you think has become of the young and old men?
What do you think has become of the women and
children?

They are alive and well somewhere;
The smallest sprouts show there is really no death,
And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait
at the end to arrest it,
And ceased the moment life appeared.

All goes onward and outward. . . .and nothing collapses,
And to die is different from what any one supposed, and
luckier.




I liked this poem because it shows how sometimes when children ask us questions like what is the grass or why is the sky blue we don't always have the best or answer, or even really know why.
