The Middle Ages museum

The Middle Ages museum was cool since it was built underground and the wall that was running through the museum was the original wall but how did the museum come? When the Riksdags people were going to build a garage they thought that since it was over a really old ground they did an architectal digging and they found several old things but the old wall was their biggest find. Then they built the museum  around the wall so the political people didn't get their own garage. The museum had several different things but one of the things that the guide told us about that was interesting was the way that the people were buried. Which was namely with their hands over their chest.

                              Scientist try to make Dark matter

Scientist are going to use the Higgs particle accelerator to try to make dark matter. The scientists are going to set the speed at 2 x faster than the last time they used it. Some of the scientists think that through the dark matter you will be able to see a parallel universe. We think this experiment is very interesting and could be very dangerous. They are running at twice the speed because, they think you need that speed to be able to make dark matter.

A jury in Alabama recommend life in prison for a woman who

 forced her grandchild to run as punishment for eating chocolate.

The 9 year old girl died in hospital a few days after having collapsed 

when she ran for three hours with firewood in her arms.

The woman has already been convicted of murder but it remains for the judge to decide what punishment she should get. On a surveillance tape you can heard the now convicted say to the girl's school bus driver that she will run till I tell her to stay. The girl's stepmother has also been accused of murder. According to the authorities , she was witness to the punishment but did not intervene .

The girl lived with her father , who was away when the incident occurred.

     Solar eclipse

Every twenty five years in Sweden there is a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse is when the moon covers the sun from the earth. Then it gets really dark. In Sweden it's only 85% of the sun that is covered so it is not going to be as dark as it is in Faro Islands witch has 98% covered. 

                Maths test

This week we had a maths test. The maths test was about graphs and averages. It was only one paper, and in the class nearly everyone thought it was easy but one person when we asked answered pencil.

Down Syndrome Day

Down syndrome day is a day when we celebrate peoples differences. The people who celebrate the day do that by wearing odd socks. Down syndrome day is a disease that slows down the development of the body in different ways. For example your development in speech or growth etc. 

The reason has to do with the chromosomes in our bodies.  

                                                              Weather

Today the prognoses says that it is going to rain and maybe snow. It is also very cloudy so we won't see the solar eclipse that is today 20/3/2015 10:30. It also says that it's 3 degrees. This is 10 degrees colder than yesterday. This rain/snow will be over tomorrow and will give more clear weather. But on Sunday more rain and snow will come but we don't know if it's more or less. Today the rain starts (considering the prognoses is right) at 12:00.

After becoming a cleric, he returned to northern and western Ireland. In later life, he served as an ordained bishop, but little is know about the places where he worked.

Apple Music Service

From the beginning  Apples plans were to release the service and the iwatch on the 9 of march. The new iTunes streaming service is based on technology from the company Apple bought Beats Music. It will contain cloud based music libraries and offers that are adjusted  after the individual listeners taste. 

The price of this service will be 7:99 dollars a month which is cheaper then the current  price of Spotify.

The fact that the service has been delayed is because the key person left the project.

 Samsung galaxy s6

Samsung's newest phone out that is at a dangerously high price of $699. The phone itself seems to be pretty nice though and looks better that the Samsung Galaxy S5. The phone is bigger than the iPhone 6 and seems to have a better function although size isn't everything. The phone was released together with the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge. The coolest thing with this phone is that you charge it wireless. 

                         Practice   Test

Next week we are having a Swedish test in grammar.  So this means that we had to practice for the test. We practiced by getting the test so that we could get prepared for the actual test. The test works like this, we get a piece of paper where it says one of every word class. Under each column there were five boxes and under that there were a bunch of random words. We had to separate all of the words and explain why the word goes to that word class. Patrick told us how the points worked. The points are given for each good explanation and right answer. Two points for explaining and one point for each correct answer. You could basically have as many good explanations that you could think of.

                                                                   Google phone 

The Google phone is a frame.  You buy parts for it like a camera and put it in to the frame. You can also buy backgrounds and put it in the back of the frame you can decorate it in many ways including buying cameras and if you want a better camera you can buy one and remove the other one and add the new camera. If the screen cracks on the phone then you can buy a new screen and then replace it.
