Brain Games

Happy Thursday! So the other day while sitting in my very last class of the day, Sociology, tired and trying hard to focus, the teacher played us this video. It very interesting (In my opinion) and I'm not a sociologist, so I won't try to explain it. Just enjoy

RAWR!

Whhhhhat a beautiful Wednesday! The last of school is approaching, who is ready for Summer? I know I am! The other day my teacher told us a really weird fact. Did you know that Tigers legs are so strong that they can stand even once they die?! That is so crazy! Tigers are becoming extinct and there  are now only 6 species of tigers, there used to be 9, and there are more tiger being held captive than in the wild. Tigers are a great species that needs to be kept alive! Find out how you can help at https://www.worldwildlife.org/ A new summer schedule is currently being worked out and hopefully I'll have it by Friday! Until then, have a wonderful rest of your day!

Snapchat Geofilters!

According to businessinsider, there are 60 million Snapchat installs and about 30 million monthly active users. One of Snapchats' best feature is the filters, anyone else agree?  😜 But as part of their great filters they have... Geofilters. I'm guessing many of you have noticed the one at the Bear River High school created by our very own, Hallee K. Well, the library is hosting a contest to find their filter, think you have what it takes? Stop by the Tremonton Library for official details and a template! Be sure to submit it before March 26 😀😀 Happy designing!

Can Plants Talk to Eachother?

Plants. All around us. So what do you think? Can these plants that are all around us talk to each other? Well, technically, the answer is yes. Have you ever seen those animals that lift their tails to warn the pack of danger? The plants are kinda like that. These plant are constantly producing chemical signals according to their environment, especially when under attack. When plants get damaged, by bugs or us humans, they send these signals either by air or through the soil to the rest of the plant so it can strengthen itself. Some plants can pick up on these signals and build up their immune system (Like when cold and flu season comes around and you stock up your house on vitamins and medicine). Even though it might be an accident to have other plants pick up these signals, they do. I found this very interesting and if you'd like to know more there is a TED ED video about it

                                                                                    Have a wonderful Wednesday!

REQUEST SURVEY

Wednesday!

Today while looking at random facts, I found several about hearts. One being that the largest heart on the planet belongs to a blue whale and is typically 1,500 pounds! And because the heart has its own electrical impulse, it can continue to beat even when separated from the body ( As long as it has an adequate supply of oxygen). The stereotypical heart is meant to be two hearts fused together. And although when people hearts are broken they feel they could die, an elephant can die from a broken heart. Stress can also literally break your heart. It's is called "Broken Heart Syndrome" and occurs in stressful situations and occurs when the bottom of the heart balloons into the shape of a pot. Definitly strange. Have any requests? GOOGLE FORM FOR THAT!

Palindromes

Palindromes are not very common but there seems to be quite a bit. The definition of palindrome, as explained by Dictionary.com is, "A word, line, verse, number, sentence, etc., reading the same backward as forward, as Madam, I'm Adam or Poor Dan is in a droop." Some are names such as Hannah, Naman, Bob, Ava, Otto, Layla and Reiner. While others can be sentences like the ones above. Some are words also like, racecar, radar, civic, stats and kayak. Palindromes are fun words (Also fun to make some up) Comment any palindromes you guys know 😀😀
Do you guys have any requests for me to write? Interested in sharing your poem or story? Here comes another google survey!

Wednesdays Article.

Have you ever had a dream at night? Well, most people dream. In recent discovery, I have found so many interesting facts about dreams! Acording to some studies, in an average lifetime, you spend around 6 years dreaming. Have you ever dreamt about some person you just made up? Well, you didn't make them up. You can only dream about things you already know, so those faces you thought you made up are really people you have seen before, even if they where just the person you passed on your daily walk. Even blind people dream. When born blind, they don't dream images because it is a little harder for them to imagine, but they still have equally vivid dreams involving their other senses. Around 12% of sighted people dream only in black and white and while lucid dreaming, you are able to control how your dream goes, like Inception! Isn't that so cool? Those are some interesting facts for when you go to sleep tonight 💤💤💤💤💤💤💤
