The amazing history of Pi. 

Beautifully designs from Circle.

Beautifully designs of Spirograph are the gifts that I want to send to Pi on Pi’s Day. They are created from circles, with geometric drawing tools - Spirograph.

Apparently, Luzia’s section of the museum is ruined.

She was a fossil known as “the first brazilian”, because hers were the oldest homo sapiens remains found in brazilian soil. Her skull was discovered in Minas Gerais in the 70′s and anyone who visited the national museum from the 80′s until now has seen her face.

Descanse em paz, mais uma vez, Luzia.

Glacial Striations and Stromatolites and Geology, oh my!

This photo is a two-fer: two awesome geology features in one! On the surface of this rock you will notice faint lines that stretch from the lower left hand corner of the image to the upper right hand corner. These lines are called glacial striations and they form as a glacier scratches the rock surface as it moves. 

The rock surface that was scratched by the moving glacier represents an entirely different time, waaay before the glaciers, when stromatolites dotted the shoreline of an ancient water body that covered Montana. The circles that you see in the rock are the tops of stromatolites, formed by ancient cyanobacteria. 

A great place to see stromatolites and striations is on the Grinnell Glacier Trail. For your best chance of seeing these features free of snow, try hiking the trail in late July or August. NPS Photo

“Love Is” In Small Things

The “Squidworm” is believed to be a transitional organism from benthic worms to free-swimming pelagic worms.  They are named Squidworms due to their tentacle-like branchiae and palps.

Study tips

Be active while studying :

Do not mindelssly skip through your notes.Make sure you are fully understanding the material that you are working on. Ask yourself questions. If you can answer them , that’s cool, if you can’t, note them down on a post-it and ask your teacher or classmates or maybe google it. If you can’t focus take a break and come back later.

Set the mood for studying:

Wash you face and hands with cold water, or take a shower. Put on comfy clothes. Organize your study space and clean it up. Get yourself a snack and a cup of coffee or tea or just plain water, whatever works for you. Set the stuff you need for studying and get rid of anything else. If you don’t need your phone for studying, turn the wi-fi off and put it away from you. Start a study playlist if you want. Put your to do list right in front you and get to it.

Make a TO DO list:

Grab a white sheet of paper. Brain dump all the tasks you have to do for the day, prioritize them, and write them again in a clean way, while dismissing the unimportant tasks if you don’t have enough time.

Take breaks when you need them :

If you take too much you’ll lose focus, if you don’t take enough, your studying won’t be effective. If you can’t get yourself to study, set a timer for 30 min, take a 10 min break and work to add to the length of the studying each time.

Eat the frog :

Start with the boring and hardest tasks first. You’ll be more motivated to get work done after you get them out of the way.

Break up big goals to shorter clear tasks :

Don’t write for example ’ study maths ’ as a task, instead note exactly how you’re planning to do it, for instance ’ work 10 exercices from a certain book’ . It feels easier to get work done when it’s not just a vague goal.

Start homework as soon as you get. If you are busy, schedule a time block for doing it asap.

Break big projects to smaller tasks and schedule them on your planner.

You’ll more likely do them if you see them in your planner, then if it’s just an unclear deadline freaking you out and that you don’t know how to start.

Go to your classes and pay attention to your teachers:

Be ACTIVE. Ask questions, participate in class, it’s really helpful . Take your own notes, in your own way and don’t do just mindlessly note everything your teacher says. Pick just the important stuff or those that aren’t in the text book. Draw mind maps, lists, diagrams, use colors and leave space and margins.

When reviewing your notes, make them easier to understand by adding remarks from other sources in the margings.

I don’t know if it’s clear enough. But while reviewing my notes I like to use a pencil and try to make my notes easier to grasp, for example, write down a general way to solve all the problems that are similar to one that you have seen in class.

Study EVERYDAY:

Make studying a daily task. Don’t wait until the night before the test. Stay up to date with your classes.

Prepare your classes ahead of time time:

Read the text book. Google it. Watch YouTube videos. Take some notes and write questions for all the things you didn’t understand to ask in class. This way you won’t be overwhelmed in class and manage to not fall behind and make the most out if it.

Practice practice practice problems :

Work as much exercices as you can, and all the previous exams that you get your hands on. That way you know what the professor usually test the students on, and also you get used to working with your lessons, especially for maths and physics and such subjects.
