Soil Solarization, an alternative to soil fumigants - 0 views

  •  
    I used this site for research on the concept of solarization, to consider the possibility of it effecting poison parsnip seeds, so that they could possibly be made ineffective by destruction using heat. This site discusses the effects solarization can have on soilborne pathogens, weeds, beneficial microbes, and plant nutrients. Many people seeking to rid their gardens or certain areas of weeds or invasive species choose to use this technique, as it is better for the soil, doesn't leave residual chemicals in the soil, and solarization actually helps the soil become more fertile and accommodating, so that beneficial microbes can repopulate quicker, and the nutrients the soil yields are better. The site also gives people a general idea of how long this process (solarization) can take, and how to carry it out: moisturized soil is cleared of debris, a tarp placed on top of the soil in a time of year where temperatures can superheat the soil, and then left for around 2-4 weeks to kill all plant life and bacteria/pathogens under the tarp, so the soil is left fertile. This technique reminds me of how farmers used to burn their crops to ensure more fertile soil and the plants growing back healthier. It shares the same idea, but unlike with fire, this technique doesn't damage the soil and takes less time for the plant life to recover. This is an interesting idea, and I had heard of solarization before I began studying it, but I never understood exactly what it was good for. I will be able to use this site, if only to study the effects of solarization and possibly draw a connection to poison parsnip. This is a reliable education site, and it will be helpful for something to consider while I write my experimental procedure and begin my experiment.

20 Things You Can Expect After Brain Surgery | The Everywhereist - 0 views

  •  
    In this article, the main point is to go over the twenty things to expect after undergoing brain surgery, such as the lack of bowel movements, poor attention span, and the urge to eat everything in site! The article delves deeper into these side effects of brain surgery by explaining what they'll do to you, and how to avoid them to the fullest extent possible. Some of the things they list are medically important, like safety measures for the scalp or hallucinations that may occur, but some of the things listed are worth knowing, but silly. For example, "Everything in your life will make sense". I would think that things make the most sense when you're not "high" off of pain killers, but people have different views on different things. If asked about the article and what the idea behind it is, I would simply tell the questioner that this article is written to prepare individuals for the shock, that is brain surgery. The article will help prepare the soon to be brain surgery recipients for what they are about to undertake.

How to cut in paint edges and get a straight ceiling line when cutting in walls. - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    A video on how to "cut in" while painting. This video is really helpful for people that just learned the technique of cutting in while painting sets. Cutting in allows the painter to smoothly paint along the edges of one wall without getting paint on the other side or the ceiling. It is a very effective technique to use when painting sets. Also, you tube has many other how-to videos if more information is needed!

Deer Diseases | Missouri Department of Conservation - 1 views

  •  
    I just read an article on a web site about deer diseases. The main points of this article is modern and common different deer diseases. For example, CWD, chronic wasting disease is a disease found all throughout the us and in many different species of deer. Other diseases listed are also cutaneous fibromas, epizootic hemorrhagic disease, bluetongue, lyme disease, nasal bot flies, and tapeworms. The purpose is to inform you about deer diseases throughout the us. If someone asked me what this article was about I would probably say that it is about more recently found deer diseases. This is a useful source because of how much writing there is about each disease. When compared to other sites I have used this site goes further in detail about each topic. This information for me was written by a reliable source and relates to my focus. I would recommend this source to anyone who wants to learn about deer diseases. This source was very helpful for my learning. This source was helpful because it related to my focus and helped me further my education. This site has made me want to direct my learning closer to diseases and problems that reduce the deer population. I can use this source to learn about deer diseases. For example if I were to see a deer that looked unhealthy I could use this site to find out the side effects of each disease and compare it to the deer I saw to find out what was wrong with it.Overall, this site has been helpful for my learning.

Google Trends Visualizer - 0 views

  •  
    Google Trends is a way to search what is currently popular searches on Google's Search engine. This is a visualizer for that which means that it is an easy way to look at what is effectively a list of what the world cares most about currently. I could have written some huge philosophical thing about this link, but in reality it's a pretty screensaver.
  •  
    So, it sounds as if you do NOT recommend using this? I don't need a pretty screen saver in my life, for sure. But if there is anything to be learned by the wisdom of the crowds, this might be a place to learn? I really don't have any skin in this game and just wonder what you think.

College Board- SAT Question of the Day - 0 views

  •  
    SAT Question of the day was such a great tool! Studying for something like the SAT is stressful, and sometimes you just avoid it all together because you don't know how to go about it! Believe me, I did...until I found this source! SAT Question of the day works in two ways; you can have the site email you one practice question a day, or you can go on the the College Board SAT site and do a question (or many questions) each day! I found this to be a very laid back, effective, and organized way to study for the SATs. I highly recommend using this source!

  •  
    Effects on the Brain As THC enters the brain, it causes the user to feel euphoric-or high-by acting on the brain's reward system, which is made up of regions that govern the response to pleasurable things like sex and chocolate, as well as to most drugs of abuse. This is one of Mickella's resources.

    I wonder if MH had a chance to think about how this science might impact the legislation, one of the areas being explored in the research.
