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!

This source has a lot of helpful activities for planning an earth day event. It has given me information and insight on planning an earth day event.

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.

This website was what I found after looking at a website that involved a blank book you could buy. Considering I did not want to buy a book, I researched ways that I could improvise but have the same effect and I found this website. It helped me map out what I needed to do in order to meet my goal.

This is a site to make-your-own jeopardy games. I have used it to make review materials for the Brain Bee club I am in when I am leader of the day. It does not provide information, but if you write the questions and answers it will format your information into an interactive game that can record points for any number of teams. This site is a little different from others in that it is not necessarily reliable or unreliable because that depends on the information you put in it. It is not a source of information, but a way for you to communicate information you already have. I have found this simple site to be very helpful. I imagined myself doing a boring powerpoint when I was leader of the day, but this site gave me another option. It made sharing my expertise an activity that could involve the whole group in a fun way.

This video shows a short blurb from a day of basic training. It sounds harsh but they explain about the importance of breaking you down to build you back up stronger.

This article is about Automatic Calf Feeders. The article covers the average cost per animal for the feeder along with comparing it to other feeding options such as hutches. Also the article covers M.B Jensen a danish researchers research. M.B Jensen discovered that the # of times you let the calves come to the feeder a day should be kept to a number of 5-6 feedings a day so that they went coming in 10 different times while another calf could be getting fed.

Picking oakum was a common occupation in Victorian times in British prisons and workhouses. In 1862, girls under 16 at Tothill Fields Bridewell had to pick 1 pound a day, and boys under 16 had to pick 1.5 pounds. Over the age of 16, girls and boys had to pick 1.5 pounds and 2 pounds per day respectively.

This book was a great way to get excited for trekking, and to explore how Buddhism can be integrated into everyday life. I was staying in Nepal on the same dates as some of the entries were written, so it was very cool to be reading it day by day. Also, it explored aspects of Nepali culture in the 70's that were radically different now, and it was quite cool to see the overlap.

This site offers a large variety of woodworking recipes for a very low cost. It gives me ideas and designs to work on with no design required prior. It gives me the ability to go into the shop whenever I want and work on a project. This source is definitely a helpful one due to its low cost and bountiful. It sells complete recipes with cost ranging from $1 to $50, a fair price for allowing to skip the day long planning period of projects. Compared to other sources this one rates fairly average and does not necessarily wow me. I would recommend this to anyone looking to do woodworking, but doesn't like sketching models and plans. In conclusion I will use this source to get cheap plans for small work projects and slow days. It didn't really effect my learning but it certainly gave me a good amount of resources.

The website also gives a detailed analysis of all previous avalanches, explaining why it happened and the effect that it had.

The Iranian government briefly lifted their blocks of social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook on Tuesday of this week - only to put them back the following day. These Iranian blocks of websites came about after the 2009 riots that were the direct result of social networking sites. - These types of social networking sites promote so much networking, knowledge and idea sharing and communication that they must be accessed by those with the technology - not blocked by a fearful government.

Do you agree with Reza that the Iran government may have turned off the block to catch more people using these prohibited sites? Why would a government like Iran want to limit this access? How does this reinforce the importance of the basic American First Amendment right to a free press?
