White Matter Types - 0 views

    This was a extremely helpful source that explained the differences of the three cortical fibers. Though I knew about the roles that white fibers fulfilled, it was clarifying to read this source on the differences among the specific fibers. The commissural fibers connect the two hemispheres of the brain. Association fibers connect different gyri together. Since gyri gyrate in an up and down fashion, the association fibers create a U-shape, so they are sometimes called U-fibers. Projection fibers connect the cortex to the lower brain and brainstem. This article was extremely helpful, as parts of the basal ganglia and limbic systems had been confusing me. In particular the corpus callosum and fornix in these systems had been confusing me as to what they did. This source explained that they just bus the information, and do not have a complicated internal structure, like many of the nuclei in that region. This really helped me understand these two systems, and the roles that each component plays within them.

10 Amazing Things People's Brains Have Done - HowStuffWorks - 0 views

  •  
    The article goes over ten amazing things peoples brains have done; The ten things have no connection to each other, but they all are very interesting things that brains have done. For example, the article has one part of the ten devoted to a man named Howard Engel who could write full book, but couldn't read!!!! AHHHH, how weird. The purpose of the article is simple; To go over ten amazing things people's brains have done. The article doesn't cover any issues really, except for one of the people who died from over exhaustion because he didn't sleep for 6 months; Under sleeping is an issue these days, but this part of the article didn't even mention undersleeping being a problem, so no, the article doesn't tackle any issues. If someone asked me what the article is about, I would tell them that the article is about ten amazing things peoples brains have done, plain and simple.

Defending Guantanamo Bay Prisoners - 0 views

    This video is about the man who defends the prisoners held in Gitmo by the United States and how he does it. It shows how the prisoners are abused and the hunger strikes they go on. I found it interesting how it all connects to the constitution and politics.

    I would love to hear more of how this article triggers your connection to the constitution, specifically our judicial branch.

The Training Tree: Contact - 0 views

    this article explains how to properly create contact with your green horse. the article explains that its not a project that can just happen instantly and it requires at least six to eight months until the horse figures out how to keep itself round and supple. in this article, you will learn that keeping contact is more of a elastic connection rather then a dead connection

Anatomy of the Human Body: Brain Structure - 0 views

  •  
    This internet archive of a very informative book on the human body provided further insight to contextualized material on the inner brain structures. Many sites have in-depth information that is very thorough, but sometimes it can be a bit too much. This book progresses in a logical order, covering all topics of the human body. The information on the brain is great for putting everything in place from other sites. Since the information in the book is in context, I found it useful to match the more specialized information I had acquired from other sources to the book, which helped me understand how it connects to the other parts of the brain. An example of this is when I was researching the basal ganglia and limbic system. The two systems are very closely connected, and while I knew about the separate systems, it was hard to visualize how they fit together. This book showed how they were joined together, which was helpful even when I knew a lot about the separate systems, because it was hard to understand them as a whole working component.

Vermont Public Radio "Does Your Dog Really Like You?" - 0 views

  •  
    This VPR radio program visits the topic of emotion in animals. Virginia Morell is an animal researcher and author of the book "Animal Wise: The Thoughts and Emotions of Our Fellow Creatures." Morell studies the emotions of different animals and their means for communicating those emotions. The large topic of interest in this short VPR news special is about whether humans have a special connection with dogs. Morell's answer is yes, dogs and humans have a similar way of communicating with facial cues and body language which makes our two species somewhat appealing to one another. This helps my research a lot in that it brings out not only the similarities between K-9s and humans but also the mysterious draw of one animal to the other. Since the domesticated dog is so closely related to the wolf, it is true that wolves have similar body language, facial expression and social behavior tendencies. Morell speaks about her topic of expertise with great ease and it is fun to listen to because she is so smart.

    This site was really helpful. It provides so much imformation for those who do not know much about college. Such as, cost, scholarships, and financial aid. This site is easily divided by tabs to help with organization.

    VSAC is a place that offers many college bound students scholarships. This is a great place to look at if you are anticipating on paying for college out of your pocket so that you can earn as many scholarships as possible.

    If you are seeking a sponsorship, you will need a resume that is tailored to the industry or sport in which you work. It must state relevant experience, accomplishments and awards, and information that will help the potential sponsor learn more about you as the person with whom their products will be connected.

geodesicdomegreenhouse - cnybonsai - 0 views

  •  
    This Google Site made by Curt Drury is an excellent example of a cheap, but very successful geodesic greenhouse. This source shows how to build the dome using PVC pipe and cutting your own connections. This will make the joints weaker, but if it worked for Drury then it is worth it to look into. He made his dome with only spending $300. This site is very useful because the creator of the dome doesn't leave out steps and projects. He was very good about recording his process as well as uploading pictures of it. I would recommend using this site, especially if you are thinking in terms of a greenhouse. This is a good reference to go back and forth to while you research and build your own dome. When I found this site and read it, I was able to make my decision that "Yes, a geodesic-dome-greenhouse is a realistic, exciting option". Once I knew it was going to be a greenhouse I could eliminate materials like wood (too wet in greenhouse for wood). This site is very helpful. I will be referring to it and comparing to it as I build my dome.

    I used this site to find scholarships to apply for. They have a huge PDF file full of potential scholarships to apply for. I found 11 scholarships that I am going to apply for. It also gives you a list of deadlines for the scholarships as well as requirements. The site also helped my family and I understand the financial aid and FAFSA process a little better.

    This documentary, book, and lifestyle has affected my life in a million ways. It completely opened my eyes to the connection between food and health and I highly recommend it to anyone, not just those who are labeled as "granola hippies" but to anyone interested in how they can be both healthy and informed.
