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!

Patreon is a way for people like the students in pathways to earn money while working on the things they love. While very similar to Kickstarter, Patreon allows users to donate on a regular basis to small projects like a webcomic or a youtube series instead of one massive project.

I just discovered this blog today and have found it very helpful. I'm fascinated by alternative cooking techniques, and how the whole chemistry of food can still work when on a vegan diet. I especially admire her dessert recipes. This blog shows that being a vegan doesn't have to stop you from indulging in yummy treats and comfort foods once in a while!

This was a work that I used for an American Studies paper. It was about how women gained power during World War One, and how they expressed that power through writing. I was able to access this article through Ms. Burdett's JSTOR account, which was a very useful website because you had access to work that wasn't published on the broader internet and you could keep it all bookmarked together. I knew this was reliable because it was associated with a college, and the author used in-text citations so I could double check her sources if I wanted to. However, it was biased because the author was writing a persuasive piece. She started the work with a debatable thesis and gave evidence throughout the article to support it. This was one of the most challenging articles I've read because it was written at a college level, but the information was at a higher level as well. The author went very in-depth, and while the sheer amount of information was sometimes hard to sort through, it gave me better details in the end. The only drawback I would tell someone else who wanted to use this source was that it was on JSTOR, so I needed Ms. Burdett's password and permission whenever I wanted to use it.

This website gives 6 steps you can go through to master difficult acting scenes. The six tips they provide are helpful hints about how to get around common difficulties when acting harder emotions, such as anger or sadness.

I found this book very informative, however I would suggest at least a little experience in the field of engine repair before delving into it. The title is not decieving, basically the book goes over how both 4-stroke and 2-stroke engines run, and how to fix various problems. This book prepaired me for just about every problem I can forsee running into while working on my project. I would suggest this book for anyone who would like to expand their knowledge on small engines.

While I don't agree with all her cooking methods and ideas, I've used a few of her recipes lately as kick-starts for mine, and it's great for people on trying to make sweet things healthier, or perhaps less animal-product based (which is what I was looking for)

By far my favorite website while working with the elderly. This site gives a list of activities that have to deal with your senses but as if you're aged. For example: eyes can yellow as you age so this site explains how you could buy swimmer's goggles an color them yellow to show the aged eyes. This site offers the best inside for understanding how different life is for the elders.

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.

An amazing in depth GQ article about urban exploration! If your even semi interested in learning more about urbex this is a must read.

A study by David Mech and Michael Nelson about mating patterns in North American Gray Wolves. The study was conducted on radio tagged wolves in the Superior National Forest of Minnesota. It is commonly understood that Gray Wolves mate for life, most commonly with a member of the same pack and can produce as much offspring as a litter per year of their adult life. This article defies that pre-conceived notion, following a single male who interacts with multiple females while they are both in heat. The male is tracked meeting with both females at the same time over 19 times, always in areas far from the occupation of any other wolves or packs. It is interesting to see that, like humans, wolves have a tendency to stray from the common institution of a single mate for life.

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.
