Perro de Presa Canario
Hey there friend. I'm going to tell you about Presa Canario. The one of the largest most vicious dogs to walk the stone we call earth. These dogs have been used for protection if well trained and are well known breeds for illegal dog fighting. The dogs can live 9-11 years, and wiegh 100-130lbs. This dog is a massive mean fighting machine. You might have heard how deadly these dogs, in a San Francisco case where a lady was killed by 2 dogs that were Presa Canario. Those dogs killed that lady with ease the amount of power they contain is unbelievable.
Languages
I found out another interesting fact on language or more communication as a whole. There are people in chile I believe, that have made a whole language around whistling. Their whistling method consists of not only change of tone but pauses are a part of the language as well. Though they have made this new language and way of communication they know Spanish as well. This man was sent in to learn more about these people and their language. He asked them why they even wanted or why they had to make this new language. They explained that this form of communication was the most useful for them and was one of the only ways to communicate clearly in the hill surrounded area. They live on a mountain with lots of echoes so they believed it to be harder to hear a lower toned sentence than a higher pitch more obvious systematic rhythm that can be heard from the top of the mountain to the bottom.
Untouched Nation
In a reading, I stumbled upon something interesting, that there are civilizations or tribes that are in South America that are untouched by the world. Further, in the reading, I learned something that was just as interesting, that the parts these tribes live on are blank on maps. Meaning that no one has explored these parts ever. These tribes are also known to be cannibals and have formed their own language. There are several tribes not just one in these parts and they actually will hunt on the other tribes. I found this interesting since in present day with all of our technology and curiosity we haven't even explored our whole planet. We have explored other planets before completely exploring our own which blew my mind.
White privilege
White privilege in real life and what it looks like through my eyes. I have been born with features that are considered very Aryan. This tends to describe a white person who has blonde hair and most likely blue eyes. I never understood why people were scared of cops. They don't really intimidate me and then i realized i have to look at them through others eyes. I have a interesting encounters personally with the police. It was junior year I had lost my wallet confidently next to a case of beers on public property. So the public place called the police, they came to my house and just talked to me. They turned out to be very kind i even invited them in for a little and they politely said no. They kept my fake id and got rid of it for me they said. Then after looking up that the fine i would have received would have been $3000 fine and a misdemeanor. To this day I am close to the officer that came to my house he helped me months later ask a girl to be my homecoming date.

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving began in 1621, in which the Plymouth colonist and Wampanoag Indians united and shared a harvest. This feast was known as the first Thanksgiving celebration in this colony. For years Thanksgiving has been celebrated in different states and colonies, but it wasn't until 1863 it became a national day. Known as Thanksgiving Day in November, granted by President Abraham Lincoln.

What went wrong with the OJ case
So many times we have seen a guilty man walk free because of something going wrong during the prosecution. But many of the cases that are lost to injustice is because of the jury and because of the lack of evidence. But for this case there was lots of things that lead to OJ going free. First the jury was one biggest problems that affected the case. Like we heard in the documentary "a case can be won before it begins, with the jury." And that's what the defense did they didn't instantly win but the odds were in their favor before the trail began. Then there were the simple mistakes that the prosecution made like not presenting the evidence clear enough for the jury to understand and they gave lots of facts and evidence that the jury had no idea what it meant. So they confused the jury and most of the evidence was just a waste of time because of the prosecution not explaining their evidence clearly. Then there OJ's defense that was the "dream team" and they played a big part of not only setting OJ free but also of winning a case for the black community. OJ's team of lawyers were so good at their job and they were so determined that they were able to make clear evidence of OJ basically committing murder to making it look like the police set him up. So there were many big parts that were played in this case but the three biggest ones for me were the jury and their lack of knowledge about the evidence, the prosecution for not being clear enough while presenting their evidence and finally OJ's defense for making OJ look innocent and making it look like it was a set up of the LAPD.
