Focus Story
Jamil El-Banna, a 45 year old citizen of Britain and former Guantanamo Bay detainee, is wanted by Spanish authorities for supposed terror-related offenses. After being arrested right after being released from Guantanamo, he was granted a bail by a Senior District Judge Timothy Workman. The British judge gave him a £50,000 bail even though he had entered Britain with a fake passport. While he was in Guantanamo for years, he was held with out trial alongside with Omar Deghayes, 38 and Abdennour Samuer, 34. They were also arrested shortly after being released from the Cuban prison.

Heat Shield
In class we worked on an expiriment called heat shield. We had a torch, some mesh, some tin foil, nuts, bolts, and sticks with screws glued to the end. We had to make a structure to protect the screw and the glue that kept it on. At first I tried one that was like a flower, but that just funneled the heat to the screw. Then i tried making a ball of tin foil around the screw and then mesh around that (without touching). That worked much better because the heat wasn't going through anything to touch the screw, they were all separet. We learned about convection and cunduction and radiation. Our longest heat shield lasted 4 min. and 12 sec.

Sound Measurment
Today Kayla and I did the sound lab. We didn't understand but we did get to wrapping the wire around the nail. Our LoggerPro wasn't working as well so we couldn't collect any data.
