How to Pick the Right Paintbrush - 0 views

  •  
    With such a large amount of different paint brushes that are now made these days, this website gave some great advice as to which kind of paintbrush I should use with which type of paint. Considering the type of bristles (or filaments) that the brush has, the width of the brush, even the bristle shape will make a difference in the painting. This site put a lot of information into a small article. Knowing what type of brush to use will help me a lot on the details of the mural that I'm making. All and all this site was quite nice and gave me even more information than I already knew.

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.

Tracking/stalking deer - 0 views

  •  
    The Benoits and many other famous deer hunters have used tracking for years and people today still use tracking to hunt. Being able to track a deer is probably one of the most important and effective ways to hunt. I read an article on hungry for hunting .com that tells people the basics on tracking deer. The main points were, where and when to use tracking, Identifying the gender by looking at the tracks, and trailing the deer. Some topics and issues covered throughout this article are, soils that show tracks better, size and shape of tracks, the difference between old tracks and new, etc. If someone asked what this article is about I would respond by saying that it is about the struggles, importance, and knowledge to track deer. This source was very useful to me, my leaning, hunting, and wildlife exploration. Compared to other sources I have used, this source was very detailed and helpful. This article has pictures and a good chunk of writing. This information is comes from a reliable source and is not opinion based. This source is related to my learning. I would recommend this source to anyone who wants to know about tracking deer. This source was a helpful to my education and my outdoor hobbies. It has help me direct my learning by making me want to know more about hunting and scouting for deer and other species. Someone could use this source to find out how to track deer for hunting. I have learned about tracking deer and it has made me want to know more about hunting and scouting.
