A Doctor Unlocks Mysteries Of The Brain By Talking And Watching - 0 views

  •  
    Summary: The belief by many medical professionals is that better understanding of neuroscience will be achieved through investment in technology that focuses on such. But Dr. Allan Ropper believes that learning from talking, feeling, and watching is just as important as fancy scans and MRI's. As he talks about in his interview, administering bedside tests can, and will give you results that would have never been retrieved by using a machine. For example, Dr. Allan Ropper conducted an experimental test on a woman who was having muscle troubles, and by using a blood pressure pump, he discovered that she has a disease that weakens muscles with repeated use. The other doctors believed earlier that it was a stroke that made her feel weak, but Dr. Ropper proved them wrong. In Ropper's new book "Reaching Down the Rabbit Hole", he delves deeper into why neuroscience should use bedside tests more often, because in times like the one described, it's the only way to get the true answer.

  •  
    This TED Talk really inspired me throughout my school research in history, french, and science. The idea of a "single story" that I learned about through this talk, forced me to search for different perspectives and different sources throughout my research in all of my classes.

InterPals Penpals - Make friends online and find free pen pals from around the world! - 0 views

    Like with any social network, be careful. Not everyone on there is a person just like you trying to learn a new language. But that aside, this website was really great for me to talk with people who knew Mandarin Chinese and were willing to help. Some people I just had quick conversations with that only lasted a few sentences, others I still talk to today. The person that knows Mandarin that I still talk to lives in China and is always happy to help me with the tones and to have conversations with me and teach me how to say things like a normal Chinese person would say them. This is a really great resource for person to person interaction. But again, be careful, as always.

Weight, Perceived Gravity, and Weightlessness - 0 views

  •  
    This video discussed the difference between absolute gravity and perceived gravity. It talked about how an object in free fall is weightless but still experiences gravity. It explained how G-force is not the same as gravity, because it can also be caused by acceleration, and it even showed some interesting experiments that demonstrate some of the concepts that were talked about.

We Are Showboat (YouTube Channel) - 0 views

  •  
    "A bunch of physics educational videos made by David Santo Pietro (who tries to talk too fast sometimes and ends up sounding like he's trying to rap, or like a zombie, or like a zombie trying to rap)." These videos are great. The speed at which he talks enables him to cram tons of information in while still being understandable.

David Wood - Lincoln Church - 0 views

  •  
    David and I were able to talk not that long ago at the Lincoln Church. He is the reverend at the Lincoln Community Church and was an amazing person to talk to about his beliefs pertaining the importance of science in creation and in religion. He was a major component in my final project, which was a podcast. From him I better understand the idea of open-mindedness and having an unconditionally open view about all aspects of the world. David is a amazing guy and I am so glad he collaborated with me on this project.

General Information About Deer Farming | Deer Farming Articles | NADeFA - 0 views

  •  
    Starting a deer farm or ranch requires energy, innovation and much time spent in research. Once you have considered your options and decided what is right for you, visit established operations and talk to other deer owners who are raising the type of deer you are interested in. I just read a piece on the North American Deer Farmers Association or NADeFA website about general information on deer farming. The main points of this article are knowing the regulations, start up capital, plan, farm layout, fencing, building pens, nutrition, feeding program, herd structure, handling, health care, buying stock, and transportation. The purpose of this site is to give the average person who wants to know about deer farming or a someone who is new to deer farming, the general information needed to deer farm. Some topics or issues covered in this article were Land to live stock ratios, laws that someone would need to know, how to treat illnesses, and how to prepare the land for deer. This article is about the general information needed to deer farm. This source is very useful because of all the solid factual information. Compared to other sites I have used, this provides a good amount of writing and great details about each topic stated throughout this article. This information comes from a good reliable source used by deer farmers all throughout the us to talk with other farmers and to get information from the site itself. I would definitely recommend this site to anyone who wants to learn about deer farming. This site helped me learn a lot about deer farming and the general information you need to know to deer farm. This information made me realize that I want to learn a lot more about deer farming and possibly consider it as future a career. Someone could use this site/article for advice when starting a new deer farm or if someone just wants to know about deer farming in general. This article has made me want to focus one of my learning topics on deer farming.

Lesson 1, Unit 2, Level 1 Rosetta Stone Mandarin Chinese - 0 views

  •  
    This lesson taught me new vocabulary pertaining to how to refer to people and things. I learned how to say things like, "I," "you," and "they." It helped to teach me how to describe, very basically, my feelings toward something. This lesson really helped me to speak Mandarin at a level I was starting to really hope to achieve. I am still extremely basic, but now I can talk about myself and other people instead of just talking about food and basic actions. I would highly recommend getting to at least this lesson in Rosetta Stone because it will really help you to be able to convey much more than what you could before, no matter how basic you still are. This resource is a must to anyone wanted to learn Mandarin Chinese.
